Answer to:
Say gas is $1.30/litre. You're driving approx. 3000 miles cross country (Canada). Say it's on average 70-80km/hour. Does anyone know (again, on average) how much gas money that would be? How many miles per gallon does YOUR car get? MY Avalon gets 28 MPG on the highway. Therefore, it would take 3000 miles divided by 28 = 107.143 gallons to make the trip. There are .26 US gallons to each liter. To convert gallons to liters multiply the number of gallons by 3.79. Thus: 107.143 Gallons x 3.79 = 406.07197 liters. Multiply the cost per liter by the number of liters: ...

Answer to:
In what ways are illegal immigrants harming the US? Legalizing the illegals, one way or the other, is the real answer. When illegals work using someone else's social security number the money collected goes into the general fund. The illegal never collects social security and cannot get a refund for his contributions. Therefore, actually, there is a net gain and the American taxpayers taxes are somewhat lower than they would be...

I have a long term bf who i love but we dont really get on, and i have recently started sleepling with this other guy who i have no feelings for at all! i'm not a slag and it's tearin me apart, but i can't decide what to do. Any suggestions? Try living without depending on someone else for your happiness. You are sleeping with a man just because you and BF don;t get on. You don't belong with a man with whom you can;t get on. If you like to sleep with someone else--that's okay, but I have the feeling that you'd be better off staying alone for a while...

In the movie "Sense and Sensibility" Marianne tells her sister Elinor: "It's bewitching, the idea of one's happiness depending entirely on one person." Do you disagree with her sentiment to any degree? Your happiness does depend only on one person -- YOU! No one can "make" you happy. It's all about attitude. People who blame their spouses or friends for making them unhappy give their power away.

Just find someone else--but, as i said be careful. You have every right to do so.

If some one acused your friend, that you have known all your life for child molesting, would you leave your kids with her/him? I know that I am copping out here--but I take my children AND my friends very seriously. This is a dilemma that I will deal with only when the time comes and I have as many facts as can be mustered.

I suspect that the problem is overrated. This is not to say that there are no cases. There are plenty, but the impact of the media covering stories from all over the country and even the world, multiplies our perception of molestation.

Answer to:
I've been seeing a guy for 5 weeks now. We click really well in the bedroom but when we're out together our conversations don't seem to flow. Should I be worried that this relationship isn't going to last? The relationship can't last unless you have interests in common besides sex. Enjoy the sex while it lasts, but be prepared for the inevitable break-up.

If your husband was depressed and thought his only way to happiness would be to go back to his country of origin and leaves. Would you as an american follow even if he is asking you to join him but your family says not to? My inclination is that she should follow him. Wither thou go'est, and so forth. But if it is to a country like Saudi I would be careful, and might consider reneging on my vows. Of course, there are two qualifications: (1) His depression will follow him. The place we are isn't what makes us happy--it's the place inside us. And we take that wherever we go. (2) this woman may...

How important is the accumulation of wealth to you and your family? What's the ratio of making money and being with your partner or family? Much more important than I thought when I was younger. Cheap hotels are okay for the young. When you're older you need luxury. Without money you are trapped. With it one has freedom. Don't make the mistake of thinking that you are above having money. Friends are very important. More than money. But, it's possible to have both. One doesn't have to choose between them.

After a bad breakup 5 months ago involving lies, deception and cheating from my ex gf, I am afraid of falling in love again after so much pain. I'm even struggling to feel attraction for anyone now. What can I do about this? How can I trust anyone now? Yes, time is the great healer. But, you can still give, no you MUST give trust to everyone--until they prove their unworthiness. No one should live distrusting everyone -- seeing a snake under every rock--. You've just got to get out there and take risks on people. It's worth it.

Lastly, being thin, they cost less to feed. Stronghart

Who do you like in the Democract race for nominee to the Presidency of the US? It would have to be Edwards. Universal Health Care is high on his list and very high on mine. How he would handle Iraq is a mystery -- but then it's a mystery for everyone else too. It's an unsolvable dilemna. Edwards. But, the Democrats have a great bench. Gore, Clinton, Edwards, Osama --a pretty good bunch sitting on the bench. We could live with any of them.

How can the Bible can be considered infallible unless it was written personally by Jehovah, always copied personally by Yahweh, and always translated personally by Yahweh? Singwell writes an excellent answer for the point of view that the Bible was originally inspired by God and that each scribe was careful when he wrote out the text. But Singwell leaves out the question of which books belong to the Bible--many were dropped at the Council of Nicea, (first Council, 325 A.D.)and s/he forgets the many contradictions within the Bible itself.

Rode Hard and Put Away Wet, is it a compliment when used after an exciting sexual moment? Could be a high compliment--I'd like to hear what the partner replied. Of course, there is an unsettling conotation in the phrase, "put away." After lovemaking one does not put his or her partner aside and read a book. I infer from the phrase "put away" that after sex the male just left the scene either in body or in spirit.

Did they know something that we have forgotten? In those days everyone had guns. Arguments turned into gun fights. The experience Sherrifs and saloon keepers taught them that guns in everyone's hands can be unnessessarily dangerous. They needed guns out of twon in the days of wild animals, bandits and the Indian Wars.

Will the debate over gun control take us anywhere, even after the Virginia Tech shooting? Why should one be able to buy guns like groceries? The NRA has the power to elect and did-elect any officials they care to. We have little or no chance to change gun laws in the US. The NRA will tell us that every citizen should be carrying. Then any of us could shoot down any nut who attacked without resort to police. Too bad.

Do you know anything about this tradition? There is a great French movie called Umbrellas of Cherbourg. The bean is found by 16 year old Catherine Deneuve who is called Queen and given a crown to wear. This is a very unusual movie, entirely in song; music by Michel Legrand. The colors of the sets are magnificant. The film is something between an allegory and a modern fairy tale. Get it from Netflix, you won't be sorry.
