I'm ordering a pizza. What do you want on it? Um, yeah, pizza is my crack. I think there's only been 2...maybe 3... times in my life when I didn't want to get a pizza when it was suggested. It's the perfect food for hangovers... and for when you haven't eaten for an extended period of time... God bless pizza. Best. Food. Ever.

Answer to:
If a woman becomes pregnant and wants to have an abortion for whatever reason but the father of that child wants to raise it and he is stable and secure enough to do so, should he be able to go to the courts to prevent her from aborting the child? This is an excellent question. As someone who supports abortion, your question really has me thinking. I guess the question might come down to what carries more weight in the situation...the fact that the father is biologically half of the child, or the fact that the child itself is inside the body of the woman? Could it be as simple as the biology vs. the location of the child determines who...

Answer to:
Who cheat more, men or women? I would say from the people I know that it's the men who do more of the cheating. However, it seems that (and again, just from those people I've known) that men are more likely to cheat earlier on in a relationship, but women seem more likely to cheat later in a relationship. Overall, it's probably equal, but I think it differs as to when it happens.

How would you handle friends that resent the fact that you don't consider them to be your bestfriend? In my experience, the type of friends which are truly "best" friends (someone you trust, can rely on, add something valuable to your life) could care less if you outwardly call them a best friend. I think those people that want to be considered "best" have insecurity problems and are probably rather controlling...and if there is feelings of resentment going on, then they...

There are many ways to say goodbye, which is your favorite? It depends on the situation...for someone I work with or see alot, I will just say, "talk to you later". If I'm saying goodbye to someone on a permanent basis, I like to sneak out in the middle of the night, or just leave without saying a goodbye. Perhaps that's mean, but I don't handle emotional goodbyes well at all! So yeah, I support denial for the long-term goodbye. :)

Do you think the word "dyke" is offensive? I asked a question with that word in there on this site the other day and apparently some people think I was being rude or something...

Individuals who think that using the word dyke to refer to a masculine lesbian is okay are obviously straight and probably dislike lesbians. Much like black people who call themselves nigger, it is okay for lesbians to call themselves dykes because it is a way for them to claim...

How much money do i earn an hour if i were to get paid 69,910 a year I work at least 8 hours 4 days a week There's actually a standard federal measure you can use to calculate your hourly earnings. Assuming you work 40 hours a week, you can divide your annual salary by 2080 which is the number of hours you'll be expected to work in a given year. So in this case, you need to divide $69,901 by 2080 and the answer is that you make $33.61 an hour. But if you work 32 hours a week, you will need to...

Just one more thing to consider...and even if this is the case, you'll be okay, he just may want to cut his nails.

David, however, is from a working class background, so he isn't really "one of them",...

A couple of questions I want to ask keep getting rejected because of duplication. How can I get round this? I've tried wording them differently. If your questions have been rejected because they are a duplicate, then you need to refer to the first version of this question that was answered. Search for your information before posting a question. The way to get around this is to not ask something that has already been asked. Try asking for more information, or for slightly different information, and that's how it will get approved.

According to the IRS codebook, paying federal taxes is voluntary. Why aren\'t we told that? Um, does this really make sense to you? Why would there be tax evasion if paying was voluntary? What does exist, however, is that if you make under a certain amount per year then paying taxes is optional. I think the last time I checked, it was if you made less that $11,000 a year, as a single person without any dependants, then you wouldn't legally have to pay taxes. So this would account for...

Unfortunately, some breeders aren't terribly responsible, so it's possible that this breeder may have inappropriately mated the parents of this puppy. After so many generations of close in-breeding, it's possible that this puppy has a genetic defect (or multiple ones). Responsible breeders know how to properly maintain the bloodline, but I would have some...

Is it legal for an employer to bar an employee from retrieving personal files from their office computer after they've been terminated without notice? Absolutely. There are a few reasons why this is legal. First, the software and everything related to the office computer is legally owned by the company. Simply, when you are at work, you are in a way just barrowing their items to get your job done. You are just being paid for the labor that you do. Second, most companies don't "officially" sanction the use of their software...
