Any thoughts?<br /><br />A structure can be finite and yet virtually infinite; examples are mobius strips and constructs like Boyd's Surface and Klein's Bottle. I believe it may not be possible to determine which sort of universe we're in, one that is infinite, or one that is finite but cyclic in nature. A similar...

This question is similar to asking if the Universe can create more energy than it can contain; given that the place is pretty roomy, my opinion is, I doubt it.

Admittedly, it's hard to know if she's intimidated, being shy, or unfriendly. If you can think of anything to say that might make her feel more comfortable, it could be very welcome; if she remains aloof or...

I know you can't make someone like you but are there any ways or things a girl can do that will attract his attention/interest towards her?<br /><br />Walk alone as you're leaving class a few times, rather than with your girl friends, so that he CAN talk to you without having to get between you and them first. If you're brave, walk up to him when he's at his locker (he has to be there for a minute, and usually he'll be alone), SMILE, and say...

At intermission, a white woman struck up a conversation with me in which she made many racially offensive comments and asked impolite questions. I was polite but furious. What should I have said to her?<br /><br />I'd give that woman the benefit of the doubt and consider her a clod. My husband and I went to the opera when we were in our mid-twenties, and while we did our best to 'dress up' and were on our best behavior, we didn't blend in the with the mink-and-Channel #5ers who made up the bulk of those in...

("Who knows what's in a girl's head...Is it a brain in there, or something like a bee buzzing around in a jar?")This is a quote from a story published around 1960, titled, "A &amp; P".

Greaser was a fifties term for boys who 'greased' their hair with 'hair dressing'; they also liked cars in general and especially hot rods. "Greaser" and "Gearhead" became more or less interchangeable when greasy hair became unpopular,...

What would it be like? Would be like a weaker version of weed?<br /><br />Hydroponics is just a method of growing plants in mulch or lava pebbles rather than dirt, and putting nutrients into the water supply. It's ideal for growing plants indoors without the dirt, which can harbor odors, manure or insect larvae. Weed and tobacco aren't related and contain different...

I need not fear my friends because the most they can do is betray me. But I have much to fear from people who are indifferent. " Agree or disagree?<br /><br />Agreed. Some official signs a paper creating a dam where there's a river without considering the people living where there is about to be a lake...Team indifference and negligence with the final say on anything, and prepare to witness something unfortunate.

I can and my husband says I am crazy. Is there other crazy people that can or is it just me?<br /><br />Sure, you can smell rain on the way. You can smell snow, too -- and it smells different from rain. You are not crazy. Tell your hubby to quit smoking cigarettes and maybe his sense of smell will return! PS: and a HURRICANE smells sweet, like a huge, freshly cut lawn.

I don't like, I don't like, I don't like Mondaaays, hey hey.<br /><br />Yeah and I saw the Boomtown Rats do it live.

No one is going to give marijuana, any other drug, a cigarette or a beer to your minor child. Secondhand smoke will have no effect. Your child may witness the following: 1) People smoke pot and nothing awful happens. 2) People are arrested during the concert for selling or using...

I smoke pot, my three daughters smoke pot (28,24, 21) and now my 15 year old just started smoking pot. She knows we all smoke pot and all that, but what should I do?<br /><br />After a while, she won't be fifteen anymore.

Then again, I don't see our military as being that corrupt. But it's just possible that some comes in from...hidden in...(I could tell you, but then I'd have to...I forget what I'd have to do.

The war on drugs has failed because, PEOPLE DO NOT WANT THEM TO BE ILLEGAL. This is America, we are supposed to be free, why do our politcians go against our wishes?<br /><br />Politicians ignore common sense and their own constituents because their advisers are certain the anti-drug crowd is out there in big numbers.

There are better ways to spend your time and bucks. I've never seen anything but grief come from people's using cocaine.

A friend says a falling tree killing a baby deer is an evil occurrence. I say it's tragic but not evil; without the ability to choose to do or be 'good', one cannot do or be evil, so 'evil' implies intent. Any thoughts?<br /><br />The word Evil has some variations in use in the English language, all closely related. Your friend said the death of the deer was an evil occurrence; "an evil occurrence" means that the event was unfortunate (perhaps even, as you say, tragic) but, when used in this sense, its meaning is...
