I'm called RFlagg 'round these parts.
I'm 15, and live miserbaly East Texas with my family.

Is it okay for freshman to go out with seniors in high school?
All that depends on is your own definition of "Okay".
Just as long as the two of you don't have any problem with it, then there's nothing wrong with it in the slightest.
Some people may have a problem with it, but anyone who would have any objection to a couple simply because of that is probably immature and not worth listening to anyway.

What should the world do about the illegal drug trade?
If drugs are partially legalized, they will not have nearly the value that they do as controlled substances.
The harm that drugs do to society is first and foremost not because of the drugs themselves, it is because they are so extremely valuable that people are killed over them.
To illegalize something makes it very valuable, take away that value and that demand and there's no real...

With the world the way it is today, would you encourage or discourage your son or daughter from joining the military?
I would encourage them to do whichever they feel is right.
I would however, tell them that the only reason they should fight in a war is if it is for a cause that they truly believe in, not because it is againt's an enemy they have been conditioned to hate.
Do not fight for the sake of destruction, fight for the sake of creation.

What would you do if one day, the new neighbors turned out to be a "mob" family? would you be friends with them? or avoid them at all costs?
Neither.

I wouldn't want to get myself too involved, but that's no reason to purposely avoid and fear them.

Would a Virgin man/women have any issues to marry a Non-Virgin?
Perhaps some would, it really all depends on the particular virgin in question.

But a healthy relationship is based apon love, trust, and repsect, not sex.

Answer to:
How do you know when something is your "favorite"?
When you willingly choose it above all other viable options.
But that raises the issue of having to try *Every* other option.
So I avoid overusing the word favourite, I prefer to just take the entirely truthful route and say something more along the lines of
"The one that I prefer out of all the alternatives I've tried so far."

I think it was admirably resourceful of them to find a way to save lives and do some good for the world that way, while still managing to uphold their religious beliefs.

But as an Iranian friend of my mum's once said.
"If you don't like your country, change it."

He's insecure and controlling, all in all, not a good combination.

Why are pizzas packed and delivered in square boxes rather than round boxes?
For two main reasons.
-To make round boxes, you have to either use many small flat panels, or one large curved panel, both of which are very difficult and expensive to produce and store.
-If the round pizza came in a round box, it would be difficult to remove from the box, you'd have to reach underneath it and prise it out, running the risk of accidentally flipping it over and...

Answer to:
Some people 'Sleep train' thier infants by letting thier babies "Cry it Out" as early as 6 months old. What do you think about not responding to the cries of an infant?
I myself am of the opinion that infants should be sleeping in the bed with their parents, as nature intended.
Ignoring it and letting the baby cry themselves to sleep may be easier, but infants at that age are meant to be near their mothers at most times, and human contact is important to a child's developement.
You can't overindulge them, but you can't just ignore them...

Is it bad to feel relieved that you and your best friend are no longer friends?
No.

Although what you really have to consider is exactly *Why* you feel that way.
It may well be that looking back in retrospect, you'll realise that perhaps they weren't a very good friend in the first place.

When I'm having a bad day, I usually try to stay away from Answerbag entirely, or at the very most I just hang around answering much fewer questions that usual.
But I never take it out by trolling, that just wouldn't be fair to anyone.

Answer to:
How often do you have a mental clear out?
I try to clear my mind out during the first few minutes after I wake up, because I tend to think very clearly then.
I take that time to clear out some of the junk out of my mind, or at least take a good look at the junk and decide I want to keep it around.
And enjoy my few moments of lucid thinking before I get up and face another day.

No.

How does one contact the AB staff to report something?
You can post your more minor complaints
(In a civil manner.) on the AB blog.
And I believe there is also a feedback link on the bottom of the page if you should need to use it.
But keep in mind that you should only directly alert the staff in more serious, reccuring errors.
Individual instances of improper conduct by users can be dealt with through moderate flagging.

Why should creationism be taught in schools?
It should not be taught as fact, it should be taught that some religions believe it to be fact, but it should not be taught as fact.
Creationism has no scientific evidence backing it up, and is nothing more than a religious belief, and unless I am mistaken, the United States has a seperation of church and state.
Schools are supposed to teach the facts as they are generally accepted by...

Have you ever tried to laugh or search reasons to laugh to get you out of depression?
No, I seek to resolve or forget some of the issues that are making me so depressed.
Trying to laugh when you're depressed is like trying to blow out a house fire, not only does it not put it out, it makes it flare up even worse once you stop.

Atheism means to reject all religion, and the concept of God entirely.
An atheist is nothing more or less than a person, who does not believe in God.

Do we ever really get over the one we loved even if they hurt you incerdibly
On some level, no.
When you love someone, it never completely fades.
Sometimes when they hurt you you'll start to hate them too, but love doesn't fade easily just because of that.
And think of this...
If you didn't still love the person, it wouldn't hurt so much.

What non-physical differences have you noticed between males and females?
In my own opinion, tacking up differences between men and women, adding them up like rules, is a huge step backwards in gender relations.
We're all human.
Women may tend to be more commucative and sublte, men may tend to be more boorish and direct.
But rules are made to be broken, and what's important is that we're all people, not to be divided into groups.

Yes, I feel like that quite a lot of the time.
Things just seem so grim, almost surreal, it actually does feel like a nightmare most of the time.
But I very much doubt that it is, for one thing, you generally can't feel pain in dreams, and for another, I haven't been impaled yet, which would mean that if it is a nightmare, it's nothing like my typical sort nightmares.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that a lot of the new members these days are tooo sensitive and have no sense of humour? You can't joke with them, they just hit that down rate button with a vengeance!!
Yes, I have noticed that.
But keep in mind, a lot of the jokes that we regulars find funny are inside jokes.
Things that make no sense, and might even be interpereted as a littel rude to someone who doesn't know us well yet.
Just give them a little time and they should eventually get them.
And hopefully make some inside jokes of their own as well.

Do you ever give points to people who just come right out and ask for them?
I tend to blanche at this and will not just throw points at people just because they whine or beg... what is your solution?
Absolutely not!
I'm definitely not going to give any points to someone who's actually asking me to.
If they want points so badly, then they can earn them by going out and giving some decent answers and/or questions.

WYR: Would you rather have your last words be "Oooh its only a rash" or "ooh wonder what this button does!"?

Unless of course it's a button that gives anyone who touches it a lethal rash.
Because at least then I'm bringing it on myself and ending it quickly, rather than having to spend weeks in a hospital ward beforehand with a bunch of docters staring at my rash.
Which, with my luck, would be in the worst place imaginable.

You need to protect children from things that would hurt them, but "Evil" is something that we all have to be exposed to at some point or another.

But I've definitely grown out of that particular phobia, because heights just don't bother me at all anymore.

Why do people feel the need to swear and curse cannot people express themselves without expletives?
Well, there are different degrees of profanity.
There's blatant overuse, using one or two every sentence as a substitute for properly articulating yourself.
And there's the more tasteful practice of using simply sprinkling them in for emphasis when you need it.
Swear words do have a place in the English language, the trick is figuring out how to use them correctly.

Is your love tainted?
Not that I know of.
The relationship itself is relatively pure and healthy, there are a few things about the people in it that could easily qualify as "Tainted".
But the love itself is aside from most of those issues, and relatively pure in it's own slightly off-kilter way.
Answer to:
Have you ever done the "bloody mary" thing in the mirror? What happened?
Yes.
Absolutely nothing.
Well, I did suddenly become very sick to my stomach, but that was because of something completely unrelated.

Answer to:
What are some misconception womem have about men and men have about women?
I think the biggest misconception of both genders is that the opposite sex is somehow drastically different and alien in their thoughts and feelings.
Really, if you get past all the assumptions and awkwardness, are women and men really that different?
We all want basically the same things, we all feel basically the same emotions, and getting along with the opposite sex is a lot easier if...

Answer to:
Do girls just wanna have fun?
That would depend on the girl.
All girls are different, and I'm sure some girls, Miss Lauper included, *do* just want to have fun.
But some others would also like some meaning with their fun, and some don't like the idea of fun at all, and still others are entirely indifferent to the idea of fun.
Everyone's different...
Answer to:
Why would anybody pierce naval/tounge/eyebrow etc.?
I probably wouldn't want to get any piercings unless I was very, very drunk.
But considering how much I'm drunk, there's no garuntees.
But I can almost entirely assure you that I would never get my nipples pierced, no matter how drunk I was.
Answer to:
If you got pregnant (guys, just play along) before you were ready, what would you do?

Does the thought of being a vampire appeal to or disgust you?
I find it rather intriguing.
I already sit around with the curtains drawn all day, and wander through the neighborhood alone all night.
And I must admit I am rather fond of the taste of blood.
So I geuss making it official wouldn't really be too big of a change.
But it would limit my traveling potential a lot, so I'll have to take a reign check for now.

Answer to:
Are you personally doing anything to help the environment?
Nothing big.
I recycle, and I make a point of cleaning up every piece of litter that I see when I'm out walking.
I must make for a weird sight, a big gangly guy wandering through the night with a huge double armfull of random garbage.
It's not much, but I like to think that it goes a little ways towards making up for all the harm I do just by being here.
Answer to:
If you like the color green, does it mean you have to like blue and yellow as well?
No.
I like green well enough, I despise blue with a passion, and I can only tolerate certain shades of yellow without regurgitating my lunch all over the carpet.
Which, if the carpet is solid yellow or blue, would probably make it look a lot *Better*.
Answer to:
If you could be known in history books for one thing, what would it be?
For continuing the legacy of such cult legends as Ken Keasey and Hunter S. Thompson.

Answer to:
Everyone has a life changing decision. What was yours? Were would you be now if you did the oppisite of your choice.

I'm glad I did it.
Who knows where I'd be without her, probably dead by now, or at least a hopeless drug addict.

Quite the tortured soul, it would seem.

A stranger in a strange land.
I never really had more than a passing understanding of what the thoughts and feelings behind her work must have been.
And reading her has always left me a little skrewed up in the head.
But I enjoyed it none the less.

Hunter Thompson fans- was it suicide, or was it murder?
Even with as many people out there who probably would have murdered him, given the chance, I for one think it was suicide.
I mean, there's no other fitting way for him to go, now is there?
And suicide doesn't exactly seem out of character for him, does it?
Someone that skrewed up, there's no way of knowing what they'll do, including killing themselves.
