What do you think of the "Anti-Blasphemy resolution" The U.N. is trying to pass making it illegal to criticize religions, including making documentaries, papers, poems that can be seen as "defamation of religion".
I guess the US has a veto for a reason, as do several other members of the security council. The CNN source was the first alert here. The UN cannot "criminalize" anything, nor can it enforce this sort of resolution, "binding" or not. In fact, the democratic nature of the UN is what is allowing this sort of stupid discussion which, it appears the broadcaster would stifle...

Listing of any or all of them as such would do more to foster such temporal reactions then stem their development. Many people have errantly done evil in the name of God.

If inflation is caused by there being more money than products, why doesn’t the government wrestle inflation by simply ordering the Bureau of Engraving & Printing to stop producing more bills and coins for a while?

It may be proof, but probably not admisable in a court unless you are willing to take the chance of being charged for breaking the law regarding taping a conversation without permission or knowledge of the other party. You can do this casually as I understand it, but not for purposes of proof (understanding based on recent NY CSI show)

My brother lives in CA and got into a 3-car accident last Nov in LA and did not report the accident to DMV. License will be suspended for 1 yr. Would someone kindly advice as to what to do next as he needs to drive to and from work? Thanks!
It is called consequences. This did not just happen out of the blue and was part of a due process. If he did not attend court or otherwise respond to orders to appear, things proceed without him.... and if he has said nothing, then the system has no option but to believe the other complainants or witnesses. Doesn't that make sense? If he now wants to do something he does have a 30 day...

What's the crappiest way someone has said "I'm sorry." to you?
"I am sorry, I cannot do this relationship" over a cell phone after my 30' boat had just about sunk from under me. Up until then everything had been fine and getting better. It has nothing to do with the boat or event, or me apparently... and she never did explain. I guess it was better that it happened 6 weeks into the relationship than 6 months or 6 years.

I already had trust "issues" and this sure added to them. Sure, I know in my head that it is mostly her stuff and not mine, but this sort of thing is seldom stuff figured out in the head.

With that said, now at 55, I have been self employed for many years and have many choices my former colleagues might envy and do not have the high blood pressure and subordinates continuing to look for ways to get around or through me to the next level.

I notice race, so I suppoose that to a small degree I am racist. Some would have it that if you treat people equally you are not. Practically speaking they are right, but really if you notice, you are reacting in a primal way. We look for those like us instinctually as I understand it. I register a person's race and try to not lump them with others who I have met or observed like...

like wearing shorts has.
As well as the kilt there are Arabic garbs that cloth men, though I suspect they might be more like dresses. Many Eastern monks do not wear pants either. Some of the traditional male African tribal clothing is also skirt like. It is a matter of where you are with respect to who wears the pants.

In most jurisdictions this is covered in a legal separation or divorce decree. Here the norm is that a child over the age of 16 is eligible to be supported while they are in school on a full-time basis. The payment is usual made to the custodial parent by the other parent and is based on their income. There are schedules based on wages which establish the amount based on the parents income....

You risk being an "in-law" problem if you do not allow them to work this out. You might have experienced something like this yourself and if so, know it is not comfortable. As said elsewhere, he has his own family beyond yours right now and probably needs to learn to work this out with it. I do not think you want to enable your son's dependance on you emotionally or otherwise.

If you found out your best friend in the whole world cheated on someone, would you automatically disown him or her (no questions asked)?
"Cheating" is often a sign of other unresolved personal issues (not all of which involve partners) and these are seldom resolved without the help of true friends. Repeated cheating should not be encouraged by way of the support offered as it often a way people use to make their lives more complex in order to avoid simple, less well defined issues.

Can i as a british citizen drive a rental car from istanbul, Turkey, all the way though Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, and back again.
Usually you cannot cross international borders with a rental car. The company risks loosing jurisdiction over its property once it leave the place where it was titled. The EU allows this, but the countries you are going to travel through are not members. This is even the case between the USA and Canada. First class buses work well between major cities in most places. It usually cheaper to...
Answer to:
If someone asks you if you would like to donate blood, what do you say?
I'd say that in North America we need to rethink our donor strategies. Since I travelled to Latin America they will not take my blood, even for use on Latin Americans who may have been as exposed as I have been to Malaria (minimally). I understand they are being extra careful, but surely the mass production of blood through donor blood banks can be adapted to have an A and B stream.
Answer to:
What does Mevlana Julaluddin Rumi's writings mean to you?
Rumi's wisdom transcends time and religon by way of connecting our emotions with our spiritual nature and physical journey. I see him secondarily as a Sufi and primarily as a poet of the ages.

Answer to:
Why do people who are completely ignorant of Islam hate it so much?
It is not unlike the fear and hatred of some Muslims towards Christians and Jews we in the West hear about. Much of it is hype and politically motivated, as the other answerer stated, based in fear, ignorance and misinformation. Muslims are told in the Quran how to deal with Christians and Jews (e.g. tolerantly), however Christians do not receive any such directions because, of course Islam...

Answer to:
Did you know that even women, not only men, of the Sikh religion, are required to tie a turban?
My understanding is the only men pursuing a priesthood designation wear the turbans and go without cutting their hair. This is why you will meet lots of Sikhs in good standing who do not wear them. I am not sure if women can obtain the priest designation, or if they can that this is required of them. Women and men are in my understanding equal before God in this faith, so there may be a...

Answer to:
Is it true that the movie "One flew over the cuckoo's nest" was filmed at the Watchtower Society of Jehovah's Witnesses and that they used members of the govern body as the mental patients in the movie?
Probably not... the idea that it might have could, however have come from one of the former residents of the nest. It sounds like one of those urban myths. You can probably find a difinitive answer at one of the www sites dedicated to this movie or movie memroabilia
Answer to:
I just recieved 19.th. plain indian dresses, howcome Crow-women didn't wear buckskin as traditional dresses?
Crow women of the mid 19th century were already under heavy cultural influence from mainstream American society. What you might have received would have at best glass beading and is perhaps made of some other hide. The styling might have been traditional, but the materials were adaptive due to the depletion of buffalo herds. If it is made out of cloth, it is likely that the material was...

Answer to:
Was the "rod" used in new testament or was the use of that abolished at Jesus death?
I presume you are asking this question as a Christian in the West. Other Christians may use a different Bible (e.g. not King James II.... example Coptic Bible) and understand Christ to have said different things than we do. The simplest answer would be that if this was done after Christ's "death", it was probably a church made rule, not one made by Christ. It may well be in...

It may be possible to get one emailed to you if you can satisfy the confidentiality/privacy requirements of the jurisdiction(s) involved. Much will depend on the school, school board, local, regional, state or provincial and national governments where you live.

Answer to:
Could a total global economic collapse in itself cause catastrophic human dieback, and if so to what extent?
It probably would contribute to the rampant starvation, disease and warfare already caused by economic disparities. In a way it would exacerbate what has been occurring and probably has always occurred. In the West and other "first" world countries we tend to ignore the fact that most of the world's population lives on the edge of poverty or in it. These people live hand to...

I always have to rub my wifes back before sex to get her into it, she never initiates and I'm frustrated feeling she has no passion for me or primal desire for sex with me. She gives oral(rarely) to shut me up but complains while shes doing it.
So what is your question? It sounds like you and she have a bit of a communications problem, not untypical, but still an issue. For example, have you thought that she now figures every time you give her a message that you want sex? Try turning that around and not having sex afterwards. She might think you are not interested then and try and change that. She might not too... and just be...
Answer to:
How can I find my court date?
The clerk of the court will have it based on your ticket or notice to appear number. If you do not have these and are the one charged, the clerk should be able to reference your information based on your name and birth date. The police department at the precinct level may also have a record as the officer may be scheduled to appear, but they would be a last resort.
Most jurisdictions should...

Answer to:
It is normal practice to keep the trash or garbage can inside of a closet or pantry, or should it be left out in the open?
It makes the most sense to get the wet and smelly stuff out of the way and into someplace out of the normal airflow, eye view and fly path. The rest is a matter of astetics. A wastepaper basket has a place in the open, but might not look too well placed on top of the desk.

Should women ask men out or wait until the man asks her out?
What do we think? Should a woman ask a man out or wait and let him make the first move?
It sure feels nice when they do. It is a switch in the traditional roles, but just as it must be a bit of a buzz for a woman to know that she is of interest to someone, so too is it for a guy.
Answer to:
Do you really think the auto bailout is necessary?
Not if we are living in a free market based society, but we have not ever been, so I guess it is probably necessary. If these companies are out and out allowed fail the impact reverberates far beyond the one industry, just as this mortgage crisis had implications for the whole system. I think what will probably happen is that Toyota and Hyundai and maybe Mercedes will gradually take things...

A while back I asked what you would do if someone's anger was aimed at you. This question was spammed. I still want to know how people deal with anger directed at them, so I'll try again. (IS this a spammy topic?)
Anger is a hard one to deal with as the natural instinctual response is defense. Many of our defensive reactions are in turn offensive (eg. anger). Something I have been working on is I believe based in the marshal arts. It basically involves not absorbing your opponents energy, but rather allowing it to dissipate with as little direct contact as possible. In a fight this would be ducking...

Answer to:
Can you divide EVERY living person in the world into 2 distinct groups with no grey areas?
Why would you want to divide us further than we already are? Each and everyone one of us is distinct. To me it seems our quests in this life have to do with finding our commonness with one another as our differences are obvious, be it simple things like gender, race, age, ethnicity, language, education, politics or more complex issues such as physical, intellectual and spiritual health. If...

When your all alone' an you realize that you lost everything that you loved, how do you keep going? what can i do to fill the empty void?
Hey bud, done it twice and it sucks. The first thing for me was to acknowledge that with some tears and raging (safe to do it on a mountain top or deserted beach). For guys this is often the most vulnerable they will ever feel... those that they have given the most to seem to have taken it apparently without second thought. To me it felt like I was about to collapse in on myself because I...

What is your best travel advice?
Pack light.... saves all sorts of hassels around collecting baggage and missing connecting flights. My friend and I just went to Latin America for 6 weeks. She carried all she needed in a carry-on pack. I will do the same next time. It involves lots of compression, but it can be done. 8 pair of undies fits in a plastic quart jar, most cosmetics come in small travel sizes, small packs...

How do you get a former employers tax id number without a w2 form?
You might find it buried in the company's www site if they do any international shipping. You might also try contacting another employee. It is a nominally confidential number which you will not get out of government, just as you will not get someone's bank account number out of a bank even though it is printed on every check.
Answer to:
I am sick and tired of my mothers nosey and imposing loud sister bossing me around and telling me what to wear,whats a good drop dead inult to fick in her face to shut her mouth?
Some folks do this because they do not feel heard or listened to.... they develop a compulsive tendency to spout off about everything to people they feel "should" abide them. As in marshal arts, sometimes the best way of dealing with the threat is not to oppose it, but to go with it and let its energy be consumed by itself, rather than absorbed by you (e.g. gettting in her face)....
Answer to:
What type of metal is used on the end of the pencils to hold the eraser
I believe it is often zinc coated tin. It will depend on many things, especially if the pencil is made in China (they might use depleted uranium or recycled plastic... whatever is cheaper).... not sure I would want to chew on the end of one of these as I often did before the age of keyboards.

Can you explain the Bahai (sp?) faith to me in a nutshell--i know hard to do? LOL
There is plenty of info at Bahai.org
The Baha'i Faith was founded in the 18th century in what is now Iran. Bahaullah was exiled and after passing through Iraq and Turkey, eventually ended up in the area of Haifa, Palestine. It's world center is now located in Haifa, Israel. Next to the Catholic Faith, it has the most ethnically and racially diverse population base of any of the...
Answer to:
Do buddhists believe in a god? Can you tell me a little bit about the religion?
As I understand it Buddhism has several sects, some of which acknowledge an essence beyond us, many of which just do not comment on the concept of God. Some followers obviously (from above) interprete this to mean in "pure" Buddhism that there is no God. For those that accept some sort of essence beyond, it is likely tolerant and accepting, rather than controlling; more focused on...
