I understand that you gain points to earn levels, but it was never explained to me why we gain levels. So Why do we? So that, if in no other place in our lives, we can have some sense of accomplishment, and popularity.

Other than religion-what makes a good argument against suicide? There is no more a selfish, and cowardly act than that of suicide. It says, "I cannot take it anymore. Life is too hard, and I really don't give a damb about the people I leave behind, and their feelings. In fact, I want them to suffer with the loss of my life. Perhaps then they'll understand my suffering." One that commits suicide is so self-absorbed that they cannot...

This is to the men i think.......why is it that when a relationship breaks up we sob and eat chocolate with our friends and you seem fine and party on with your friends...does it really affect you? Actually, we're usually not "fine". In fact, we party because our friends tend to drag us out of the "funk" that way. In other words, you sob and eat chocolate, while we drink ourselves into oblivion and try to find some nooky to get us over you. Our way is just more entertaining.

Answer to:
I own a 1999 Nissan Maxima. I had my belt( near the ac) replaced. From a cold start, when I start the car, the belt makes a 3-5 second screeching sound. This only happens on a cold start. I had the belt changed again. It still makes this noise. New belts tend to be very taught, especially when cold. The screeching sound you are hearing is most likely due to the fact that, while cold, it is put more stress on the pulleys. When the fibers of the belt heats up it causes them to relax a bit which ends the noise. Give it some time. It will most likely stop once the belt has had a chance to break in a bit.

If God created everything but God did not create evil then where did it come from? Evil was a bi-product of mankind's inability to live without having to make distinctions like "good/bad", "ugly/beautiful", and the like. More to the point of your question, evil has always been a conceptual phenomenon. In fact, without the observation of it, it doesn't even exist, outside the realm of potential.

When they find a species that they are sexually attracted to, not being able to have physical contact with the corporeal, one becomes frustrated and takes the form of that species. Thus you may become a grasshopper, a tick, a flea, a rhino, or whatever. Sounds a bit fantastic,...

Do you think the Bible was rewritten to remove evidence that women were equal to men in ancient times? and example would be the story of Isaac, if you make him Sarah's son instead of Abraham the story makes sense concerning Ismael. Outside of the Biblical text, there is plenty of evidence that women did not have societal equallity in the middle east. In fact, they still don't. However, the Bible doesn't even make the case that women are not equal. It simply states the "tradition" role of women to not be the leaders in society.

It's a second chance. If you blow that second chance you have to do the time that was suspended, and could (and often do) do time for the crime that violated the probation as well.

Why doesn't president Bush count democrats as Americans when he talks about what the American people want? The same reason that Democrots don't include Republicans when they say it, it doesn't progress their political agenda to acknowledge the alternate point of view. It is indicative of a government that, actually, doesn't represent its people at all. Rather, they have turned politics into a sport. We don't support ideas anymore in America.

Probably, the most effective means by which to make the transition to Christianity was to "insert", if you will, a number of...

Hi, me again, My 89 oldsmobile cutlass supreme, starts ok then after it runs for a little while, it decides to idle to low and eventually dies. Any time I don't have my foot on the gas it will die.

Of course not, you do not have faith, in other words. A believer is not a believer because of works. Works are merely signs of the authenticity of their faith.

You don't need any more words from AB, or anyone else. You need action. Now, get to it. You are in my prayers.

It seems like one day I'll be on top of the world, and the next I'll be too depressed to move, and it seems like these mood swings happen for next to no reason, what (If anything) is wrong with me? It sounds like you may be manic depressive. I would suggest you learn to get control of your emotions. By that, I mean that, while emotions are an important part of our being, they are not meant to control us. Try meditation after you wake up in the morning. There are drugs that doctors are more than willing to give you in such cases, but I highly recommend that you seek another path.

All the while, it has the potential to both nurture and destroy.

A Christian man told me he was doing the "work of god" by teaching me. As an agnostic my belief in a god is not certain. Because I am not a believer he asks, " Are you a mistake?". How should I feel about that? Was he doing the work of god? Sounds like he is one of those Christians that hasn't learned that God doesn't want us to do a damn thing "for" Him, and so, though his intentions may be in the right place, he fails to do anything "of" God. I can't stand it when fellow Christians reduce our faith to a mere phylisophical challenge. It is a false representation of the teachings of Christ.

History has shown us time and again that when people do not know their nieghbors they tend to mistrust them. A language as a prerequisite for citizenship would...

How should a husband appreciate his wife in a way that most people simply don't take the time to do? Sit down and write her a letter, not a note but a letter. In it, tell her how much.

Should I be okay with my boyfriend going on one-on-one dinners with another woman? What if he swears they are just friends? It largely has to do with how much you trust him. If that isn't very much, then I would suggest that you may need to re-evaluate your relationship. Has he ever given you cause to doubt his faithfulness? If it bothers you, tell him so. Not in an attempt to stop him from going necessarily, but as a means to open some needed dialogue. Communication is key in order any relationship to work.

Your fan isn't working, and it is cousing your computer to shut down to guard against overheating.

Answer to:
Has Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream been realized in America yet? In many ways, I believe that we have gone from one type of racism to another. To one that causes a whole new set of problems. A person of African decent is not to be trusted or is to be feared, a person of European decent is not to be trusted or is to be hated, and we find ourselves within a society that practices willful segregation. The only way that, I believe, we can realize the dream of...

The souls, who wrongly accused a sage of thieving their father's horse, were all burnt by the sage and left on the Earth, until this maiden liberated them. Having touched Brahma and Vishnu, two of the three...

My boyfriend is virgin been together for 4 months. I want to have sex with him already. How do I make his first time memorable and inititate I want to make love? First of all, you should be very careful here to make sure that he is ready. He may, for instance, have a very valid reason not to have sex yet. Is it because he wants to remain abstinent due to religious beliefs? If he is ready, all it’s going to take, usually, is some foolin’ around that doesn't stop until someone is “finished”. However, ask yourself this before...

Why do you have to kiss someone, if they are standing under the mistletoe when you are? (not that I mind); ) The Druids believed mistletoe fell from heaven and grew onto a tree that sprang from Earth. Mistletoe thus represented the joining of heaven and earth, and God's reconciliation with mankind. A kiss under mistletoe symbolized acceptance and reconciliation. In fact, originally, you would give a friendly kiss to anyone that stood under it, regardless of sex, once a dispute was settled. ...

My boyfriend accidentally backed into my nephews car(94 Ford Probe)and said he'd pay for the repair. My nephew got a quote for $700 and one for $800. I think it's ridiculous to pay 1/3 the value of the car to repair a dent in the door...any suggestions? If it actually cost that much to repair then yes. The law usually is going to side with the victim in such cases anyway. Besides, which is more important, the money or the relationship with your nephew. Most courts are going to go with the lowest estimate provided by the plaintiff (in this case that would be your nephew). I would recommend that you try to settle this out of court. Especially...
