Sat, 09 Jan 2010 18:11:14 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8597511 Answer to Is it possible for an emotional or physical abuser to love someone? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8597503 Is it possible for an emotional or physical abuser to love someone?<br /><br />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...

Jesus is a close second. Sat, 09 Jan 2010 18:05:03 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8597497 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. http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8597495 One cant love someone without them loving you for it to be love. True? Love is a two way street, otherwise it isnt love.<br /><br />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. Sat, 09 Jan 2010 18:04:25 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8597495 Answer to Is 6 beers an OK amount to drink every day or an alcohol problem? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8597491 Is 6 beers an OK amount to drink every day or an alcohol problem?<br /><br />6 a day seems like a bit much. One or two I could understand, but six? I have to agree with some other posters here... if you have to ask, and if you feel you "need" it, you already know you have a problem. Sat, 09 Jan 2010 18:02:20 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8597491 Answer to Has AB destroyed itself? Why or why not? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8597479 Has AB destroyed itself? Why or why not?<br /><br />In my opinion, yes. By forcing itself to "keep up with the joneses" by adding features and implementing a complete overhaul, the AB staff has been extremely shortsighted. Anybody remember "New Coke"? Coke was fine the way it was. When the formula was changed, it alienated almost all of its...

Why now the Twitter-esque 140? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8597382 The questions used to allow us 255 characters. Why now the Twitter-esque 140?<br /><br />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...

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&#039;s better than wondering... Fri, 04 Sep 2009 08:07:57 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7641938 Answer to Do you think the Album Joe's Garage would make a good movie? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7641437 Do you think the Album Joe's Garage would make a good movie?<br /><br />I don&#039;t know. I think it would be better as musical theater... kind of like Thing Fish. Unfortunately, we&#039;ll probably never see it happen.

I would like to hear life affirming answers...what keeps you going day after day? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7641420 I found ab when I googled a question that was filling me with angst. Seriously, I was feeling like life was not worth living. I would like to hear life affirming answers...what keeps you going day after day?<br /><br />For me, it&#039;s pretty simple. I just consider the alternative, and then to keep going seems like the smarter choice. Fri, 04 Sep 2009 06:23:37 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7641420 Answer to Why do men's button shirts always have one button inside out on the bottom of the shirt? Whats that button for? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7641398 Why do men's button shirts always have one button inside out on the bottom of the shirt? Whats that button for?<br /><br />I believe that&#039;s an extra in case one of the &quot;real&quot; buttons pops off. Some shirts have two, or even three, of these extra buttons. Coats and sport jackets have them as well. Fri, 04 Sep 2009 06:19:21 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7641398 Answer to Atheists : ultimately believers will think they are accountable for their behaviour to their God. How do you think you are accountable for your behaviour? And do you have a sense of an ultimate accountability? Thank you. http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7641388 Atheists : ultimately believers will think they are accountable for their behaviour to their God. How do you think you are accountable for your behaviour? And do you have a sense of an ultimate accountability? Thank you.<br /><br />Whether there&#039;s a god or not, I am accountable to the human race and the world. Fri, 04 Sep 2009 06:17:35 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7641388 Answer to What evil deed have you done to guarantee that you spend eternity with the devil? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7641377 What evil deed have you done to guarantee that you spend eternity with the devil?<br /><br />Apparently, not being a Christian is enough to do it for me. Also having sex before marriage. Oh, and also this one time I prank-called a radio DJ pretending to be a retarded kid and asked him to play &quot;Human&quot; by Human League. I think I probably really am going to hell for that one. Fri, 04 Sep 2009 06:14:30 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7641377 Answer to When you go to the movies, do you stay and watch the end credits, or do you leave, as soon as the last scene of the movie ends? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7641367 When you go to the movies, do you stay and watch the end credits, or do you leave, as soon as the last scene of the movie ends?<br /><br />I always try to watch the credits. Sometimes the person I&#039;m with is too impatient, though. I recommend it. Not only is it showing some appreciation for all the hundreds of &quot;little&quot; people that made the movie possible, but occasionally the filmmaker will throw an important...

I always thought it meant something like &quot;Klaatu says everything&#039;s cool.&quot; Tue, 11 Aug 2009 12:31:02 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7414521 Answer to What does the quote at the end of memento mean?

The one where he says, "I have to believe in a world outside my own mind. I have to believe that my actions still have meaning... And so on. I'm sorry that I can't post all of it, but what does it mean?<br /><br />Leonard is reiterating what he told Teddy in an earlier (actually later, chronologically) conversation. Basically, he is contemplating the distinction between reality and perception, which is always a fairly large theme in Christopher Nolan&#039;s films. Leonard wants to believe that his...

How good are you at it? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7371387 "When you are in trouble and you don't know what to do, give a little whistle, give a little whistle"..."Whistle while you work"...Do you whistle to perk up your spirit? How good are you at it?<br /><br />I am a great whistler. I used to work as a prep cook in a cafeteria, and one of the girls that worked there liked to stand near me while I worked and secretly listen to me whistling (she confessed it later). I have since stopped doing it now that I work in an office, though. There&#039;s a guy... Fri, 07 Aug 2009 05:47:01 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7371387 Answer to A buddy was just released from prison for having an affair with a student when he was a high school teacher. It was consensual between both parties. I have known the guy all my life. My wife is concerned. Should I resume my friendship with this guy? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7363427 A buddy was just released from prison for having an affair with a student when he was a high school teacher. It was consensual between both parties. I have known the guy all my life. My wife is concerned. Should I resume my friendship with this guy?<br /><br />Consensual or not, common sense should have told him that it was still completely inappropriate and illegal. I don&#039;t really blame your wife. Your friend sounds like he has poor judgment and is a slave to his desires. Thu, 06 Aug 2009 12:05:42 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7363427 Answer to My S.O. says she wants me to give her pure love and be innocent like how I apparently used to be a year or so ago. What does she mean? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7363384 My S.O. says she wants me to give her pure love and be innocent like how I apparently used to be a year or so ago. What does she mean?<br /><br />It&#039;s a nice way of saying she&#039;s not going to have sex with you anymore. Thu, 06 Aug 2009 12:01:36 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7363384 Answer to I find it incredulous when I hear so many people say they are allergic to cats. Are they really allergic or just using that as an excuse because they actually have an aversion to cats, or because they don't like odors cats leave in the litterbox? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7363377 I find it incredulous when I hear so many people say they are allergic to cats. Are they really allergic or just using that as an excuse because they actually have an aversion to cats, or because they don't like odors cats leave in the litterbox?<br /><br />Newsflash, some people are actually allergic to cat saliva, which is all over their fur because cats use their own saliva to clean themselves. Despite the fact that I have a cat of my own, yes I am allergic to the dander of certain breeds of cats. Why would somebody make that up? Thu, 06 Aug 2009 12:00:47 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7363377 Answer to Is Canada boring? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7363247 Is Canada boring?<br /><br />I guess it depends what bores you. I don&#039;t think it&#039;s boring at all. It&#039;s beautiful and friendly.

I don't think there's anything wrong w/ homosexuality.What's her problem, and what do you think about this?<br /><br />She&#039;s being completely ignorant. It&#039;s extremely unlikely that something like that will &quot;turn you&quot; gay. And even if it did, what business is that of hers?

What should be done about all the liars in DC?<br /><br />&quot;We&quot; implies the participation of &quot;you&quot;. Are you in DC complaining about where all the money went? Until you are, stop wondering why everyone else isn&#039;t doing it for you. You are as much a part of the Democratic process as the rest of the population.

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 11:20:42 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7339498 Answer to How does atheism logically lead to happiness? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7339486 How does atheism logically lead to happiness?<br /><br />It doesn&#039;t. The premise of your question is based on a preconceived notion of either the merits or folly of an atheist perspective on spirituality. Atheism does not logically lead to happiness any more or less than belief in a higher power does.

It&#039;s ok to be gay everywhere else, but when you go to work, don&#039;t even think about being anything other than heterosexual. I&#039;m being facetious, of course. What a weird question.

I need "i love you's" in my life been together 2 years, is this too long to wait for those words? He doesn't think so, but I do<br /><br />Based solely on my own experience, I would say 2 years is rather a long time to wait. Even if he&#039;s not &quot;the type&quot; who says &quot;I love you&quot;, if he DID love you, he would know how much it meant for you to hear that. I would say if you haven&#039;t heard it within the first...

Now he doesnt have a job and the wedding is right around the corner. Should i still marry him even though he does not have a job?<br /><br />For better or worse, for richer or poorer. If you really love him, you&#039;ll be supportive during his unemployment and stick with him through hell or high water. The fact that you&#039;re asking this question is kind of a red flag.

You will find that almost anyone in a profession where they are face-to-face on a daily basis with grief, death, and loss will use either a very clinical, detached perspective or seemingly inappropriate (to the outside observer) humor to remain objective and not become...

I tend to put others&#039; feelings ahead of my own, often at my own peril. I am working on being more assertive and expressive though.

If a girl has no problem kissing me after I...er... reciprocate the favor, why should I mind? It&#039;s sex, man... people need to just let go and accept the fact that it&#039;s going to get a little messy.
