Answer to:
Do you believe parent's should have veto rights over their children's marriages?
No. It is a parent's duty to teach a child in its formative years, and instill moral, ethical, and emotional principles in the child so that it can become a self-actualized and independent adult, capable of making its own decisions, regardless of whether the parents agree with those decisions or not. A parent certainly has a right to voice his or her disapproval, but should still respect their...

Answer to:
Is it possible for an emotional or physical abuser to love someone?
Yes, but you must understand that love is subjective and the specific "definition" varies from person to person, although most of us can agree on the general conditions. No two people, in my experience, define love in the same exact way. An abusive person can love, but their perception and definition of what love is will likely be markedly different from the so-called "norm".
Answer to:
Who is the wisest man that ever lived?
Kurt Vonnegut. Jesus is a close second.
Answer to:
One cant love someone without them loving you for it to be love. True?
Love is a two way street, otherwise it isnt love.
Not necessarily. Ever heard of "unrequited love"? I suppose the definition of love is subjective and varies from person to person, but I personally believe it is completely possible to love someone even if they do not love you.

None of the poll choices are correct, but in fact your question contains the answer. Answerbag has obviously been modified to fit more neatly into, and ride the coattails of, successful social networking sites such as Twitter. The 140-character limit is clearly an attempt to make AB questions compatible with Twitter posts. (see bottom of any current AB page for proof).

What would you do if your boyfriend told you he has been cheating on you with his ex girlfriend for nearly 1 year?
1. Cry, yell, scream. Not necessarily in that order.
2. Ask whatever questions I needed to ask of my S/O (did you use protection, why did you lie to me, why did you cheat, etc.) and hope that I got some answers. Experience tells me that even if the answers hurt, it's better than wondering "WHY" for the rest of your life.
3. Walk away from the situation, permanently.

I would say if you haven't heard it within the first 6 months of a relationship, at the very longest, something's definitely wrong.

The US is both a Constitutional Republic and a Representative Democracy. If you knew what both of those terms actually meant, you'd realize that they are by no means mutually exclusive concepts.

Can you keep your emotions in check? (Take the quiz)
Here's me:
You are an incredibly stable and happy person.
Ever consider being a therapist?
You have figured out how to keep a positive outlook, no matter what.
You don't have an easier life than anyone else. You just have figured things out a little more.
I'd say this is overall pretty accurate, although I wouldn't go as far as "incredibly happy".

This is a trust issue. When you boil it down, trust is really just faith. You can make a well-educated guess on whether you can trust your GF based on her personality, her behavior, etc., but ultimately trust is a decision that means you just throw caution out the window and believe her when she says she wouldn't cheat on you.
If she ever violates that trust, different story. But you...

It's a known problem with the "fat" ps2 that the laser is a piece of junk. You can try to open it up and clean it yourself with a cotton swab and some rubbing alcohol, but it may not help at all, or at best provide a temporary extension of the machine's life.
You're better off just buying a slim PS2, unfortunately.

I don't know what happens after death, and I don't really care at this point. Honestly, what difference does it make? Does what happens to you after you die give you any more or less of a reason to act like a decent human being while you're alive? Killing, stealing, etc. is still morally wrong with or without the promise of heaven.

Even if I am giving up on something like a relationship or a project, it is because it has become an obstacle or a hindrance rather than an enhancement to my own life, and I make the choice to move forward to something better. It's all a matter of perspective. :)

I thought it was a brilliant study of obsession. If you've already seen it once, it pretty much DEMANDS to be watched at least one more time to get the full effect. Everything-- every line, every twist, etc.-- in the movie will take on an entirely new meaning once you know how it all ends. Especially Michael Caine's claim that "You want to be fooled."

Why do MOST Christians get so defensive and rude when people ask hard questions about God and Jesus?
I don't think you can safely say that MOST Christians do this, but quite a lot of them do. The answer is, they're insecure about their beliefs. Claiming to believe something simply because you were told it since you were born is a pretty flimsy system. It's human nature to be curious and questioning.

As far as pop culture goes, they are pretty much obsolete at this point, having been the perfect critics of that specific period of American culture. Since the early 90's there have been plenty of worthy characters, fictional or not, to have performed the same function.

Christians only please: My brother in law (atheist) doesnt want to take his kids to church, should I intervene so they know the love of christ at an early age?
No, you should mind your own business. When you have children of your own, you can take THEM to church. Sorry if I sound nasty, but I really feel that it's incredibly rude and inappropriate for you to even entertain the thought of intervening in a situation like this.

I've just read Al Franken's Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them. It paints a very disturbing picture of Republicans. Americans, would you say he hits the nail on the head, or is he distorting the truth? I'm not American, so it's a real question.
Out of all the left-wing political media that I have seen or read, I think Franken does the best job of backing up what he says. The thing I liked best about Lying Liars is the fact that he is not actively promoting a point of view, he is debunking the claims of the right-wing with research and objective facts.

It's the oldest trick in the book, at least for cults. I'm not saying this "some kind of Christian Church" is a cult, but I don't like the idea of publicly confessing. Scientologists do this as well. When everyone knows your sins and dark secrets, it makes you a lot more easy to blackmail if you ever decide to leave the church or speak out against it.

How do i find out what my boyfriend type on the computer?
You could get a keylogger, but I wouldn't recommend it. I did this once when I suspected a girlfriend of cheating on me. I found the information I needed to confirm it, but at the same time, felt constantly sick and poisoned, and totally disgusted with myself. I felt like I had sold my soul when I took steps to invade her privacy and spy on her.
If you can't find out the truth...

Is there such a thing as a projector that is a television not a rear projection tv? I guess a projector that has some kind of aerial?
If I'm understanding the question correctly, I think the answer is no. You could, however, use something like an LCD projector and connect an antenna or cable box to it. You'd probably need some kind of adapter too, since cable and antennae both use type-F (coaxial) connectors, and projectors tend to use RCA jacks (the red/white/yellow inputs).

What do you think about the movie "CALIGULA"? Did you find it artsy, intelligent, pornographic, etc...?
I've gotten about halfway through it and thought it was pretty ridiculous. Definitely pornographic and gratuitous. I have a hard time accepting the fact that many of these gifted actors signed on for this, especially people like Peter O'Toole and Helen Mirren. I hope they were paid well.
I would say this movie tried to be artsy and failed. It's mostly just incredibly disturbing.

Do you think that the inverted cross symbol should be protected under the first amendment, since it is the symbol of a religion? I just heard on the news that it is no longer legal to wear an inverted cross.
I have a feeling you must have misunderstood what you heard on the news. I don't believe for a second that any symbol would be banned in the United States. If the Nazi swastika is still protected under the first amendment, I fail to see how an inverted cross could not be.
I'd be curious to see a link or source to this news story.

Anyhow, to answer your question... probably around a thousand bucks. I'd have to miss a day of work, and giving out hugs to people on a street corner has the potential to be rather dangerous in this day and age.

It's a stereotype. I've dated a lot of women who have acted this way (especially the "too cold"/"too hot" thing), but there are plenty of men who do exactly the same thing. It depends on the individual person, you can't just say "women are this" and "men are that".

Set the switch on your lens to manual focus, or change the shooting mode to Landscape. I'd recommend doing the former, as it will give you more control. Also, make sure you're using a tripod or at least that the camera isn't hand-held while you're shooting.

Hitler definitely WAS a hero to the German people at first. His economic policies helped Germany out of a horrific Depression that came about due to the Treaty of Versailles after WWI.
He also came up with the idea for the Volkswagen, he wanted all German working-class citizens to be able to have their own cars, as a way of boosting morale and encouraging economic prosperity.

No, I don't. I've often thought of putting a small one in there with a vcr/dvd player, because if I'm sick or lazy I would love to watch movies and still stay in bed. Just never got around to it. :)
