Answer to:
Which of these used cars is best for a first car and why? Kia Spectra, Volkswagon Jetta, Ford Taurus, or a Toyota Camry?
Toyota and Volkswagen have the best reputation for durability it seems. I just recently bought a second hand Corolla and I'm happy with it. I had been considering a Jetta too, both because of their reputations for being well built and durable. I went with the Corolla because there are no VW dealerships in my general area. Otherwise I may have gotten a Jetta instead.
Ford may be a good...

Can I combine an iPad with a Trapper Keeper?
The awesomeness of the Trapper Keeper, combined with the popularity of the Ipad, would probably be possible but the device wouldn't be useful for long. Awesomeness and Popularity do not live well together inside of the same device. In a very short period of time the Awesomeness and/or the Popularity would diminish to a point where the device either does not work, or you don't care about it...

But if you don't truly have an interest in a language then you won't be able to truly learn it. Regardless of the overall...

What are ISO files used for?
ISO files are used to hold an 'image' of a Compact Disc (CD) or a Digital Video/Versatile Disc (DVD). Certain programs will allow you to read a disc and then copy the contents byte by byte into a file. This ISO file can then be used to create a duplicate of the original disc.
There are other alternatives to the ISO file too although ISO is probably the most common one.

Why is it that even in a single portion of Brussel's sprouts, some are deliciously sweet, whilst others taste like ear-wax?
95% of the soil that Brussel's Sprouts are grown in contain an element called badmium. Badmium is released from the ground in small amounts and is rapidly sucked up by the Sprouts. There is usually only enough to be absorbed by 3 or 4 sprouts at a time. The badmium also has a short half-life while the plant is still alive. It will often be almost completely out of the sprout within 3 days....

But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.

I see death as the true final frontier. Unlike outer space or the depths of the ocean we will never be able to fully explore it while we're still alive. I don't think it is something that requires exploring though. The speculation of what death and the 'afterlife' entails causes enough fighting and hate among the living as it is. If anything, I think that a true understanding of death would...

If you lived in metro Detroit, were graduating college, and could move wherever you wanted- would you go or would you stay?
Regardless of where I was living currently, if I had nothing to tie me down and an opportunity to move to any place I wanted to, I'd move. I tend to get bored of living in the same place for too long. I need a change of surroundings every so often. But that's just me. I'm sure that many people would be just as content to remain where they were.

Or to climb a rock that was pretty much impossible to climb. I even got him to jump from a roof with a garbage bag once... Almost every time he would get hurt. Not severely, but he had his fair share of scrapes,...

I would recommend sticking with papers that were designed to be smoked with. Regular writing paper is thicker which means you'll be inhaling a lot more of it. This won't just affect the taste of what you're smoking, but it also means that you'll be inhaling a lot more chemicals, such as bleaching agents, that are used in the production of the paper.

What can I make with a gallon of fresh wild blackberries?
I personally find cooked blackberries to be less appealing than fresh ones. I like them to be a little tart with a little sweetness to them. The seeds also get annoying when cooked. When raw, the seeds are contained within little pockets of berry and they don't seem to get stuck in your teeth as much.

Because nothing Gold can stay. What was once perfect will always fade away into something less appealing. What we call a 10 today may only be a 6 in the future.

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Given that he is such a popular character when it comes to religion, I believe that he most likely did exist at one time. As to his living without sin, or possessing extraordinary powers, I doubt that. But I do believe that he was a man...

The use of the word "Retard". Is this word a part of your vocabulary? If so, how do you use it......
The word 'retard' is commonly used in French, which is where it gets its origin, but I refrain from using it in English as it can also be considered a derogatory term. To retard means to 'slow down' or 'to hinder'. If I was speaking French and was running late, I would say 'Je suis en retard', which would translate roughly to 'I am retarded'....

I am not 100% sure on this, but I believe that the amount of crystal you end up with would be the same regardless of your water level (assuming that the water itself contained none of the components of the crystal). My thinking would be that the water level would only affect the rate at which they developed. Although this is only an hypothesis, and I cannot back it up with any evidence.

I grabbed some toothpicks, and started roasting marshmallows. Oh how I wish I hadn't! You see, the scent they use for these candles is VERY artificial, and does not do justice to either the marshmallows or your stomache :(. Needless to say,...

What it does entail is taking responsibility for your actions, thinking about others and not just yourself, being able to plan ahead, and to calmly deal with situations when they arise. It involves knowing what is right...

That would just amplify the problem. Most guys who want to be involved with sluts only want to be involved for a short while, until they can find somebody else to move on to. Sure, you may not get as attached to these guys, but you probably aren't going to find a deep relationship either.

"Anything that you do for 21 days becomes a habit". They say it is proved scientifically.

The '21 days' is used more for classification than as a predictor. In order to classify something as an addiction, for example, we need a minimum frequency at which it must occur.
.
There are also other factors that contribute to these classifications

Along with the '21 days' there are other factors to consider. For example, the ease of which we can cease doing the...

Perhaps a lawyer or other legal assistant could help you best with this. Forwarding or otherwise copying it could be considered tampering with evidence or may not be accepted in court because of the possible loss of integrity (the possibility that it could have been tampered with).

Another option is to have text messaging disabled to prevent the overwriting of old messages.

I used to smoke a lot of pot and enjoyed it with no really negative effects. Then I tried another drug, too much of it for my first time, and it caused my heart to slow down, then speed up, and then slow down again. In general, the experience was very undesirable and scary to me. I would never do it again.

What's your views of the guy that had a baby? Do you find it acceptable or just wrong?
I would still consider 'him' to be a woman because he still has the sex organs and the hormones to make him so. You can use hormone therapy and have operations to modify things but in reality you are what you are.
The main thing that I believe may present a problem is the way the child is treated, not so much by the parents, but by the public. It is likely that it will be teased,...

Answer to:
Because the female carries the baby for 9 months,does she have a stronger say in whether or not the abortion should take place?
Does the male have a say?
I believe the final decision should be mutual, based on mutliple factors, including the potential future of the child. If the child is not going to be loved and be passed around from home to home then perhaps both parents may consider abortion as an option. But if even one of the parents are willing to take the responsibility for it, regardless of the other's willingness to do so, and...
