Excellent point.
Language is probably one of the main reasons we're losing our national identity. Sure, we've got lots of cultures mixed in, but that shouldn't be taking away from our stability as a whole.
Another way we can help curb the problem is to close the open portions of the US-Mexico border, thereby allowing only LEGAL Mexican immigrants in.

How would you define a "win" in the Iraq war?
Iraq is able to hold itself together and doesn't need our help in everything they do. Law enforcement can do their job, people can vote freely, and we'll always be on hand in case the surrounding terrorist nations decide to invade.
Answer to:
Do you think we should pull out of Iraq?
No.
Basically, we'd get the same situation as we had in Vietnam. We lost because we gave up and pulled out. Now we have a country that hates our guts for it. Instead, we should stick with it. Eventually, the insurgents are going to run out of steam, and the Iraqis can have the freedom they so desperately want.

Answer to:
Why did Nintendo portray Yoshi as very intelligent in *Super Mario World* and *Yoshi's Island*, but as significantly dumber (esp. after he got his voice) in later games?
I think it's actually because it's not the same Yoshi. Starting with *Yoshi's Story* (N64), we began following one the green Yoshi baby and generally accepting him as the new Yoshi.
This young dino was born into a comical world, and so his personality upon birth immediately began to reflect that, causing this particular Yoshi to receive about half the brains of a normal Yoshi....

Answer to:
My Mormon boyfriend goes to the temple every morning at 5am. Is this common for Mormons, or is it a personal choice of his?
It's actually quite common, and for several reasons:
First, you're thinking of Seminary. This is not held at the Temple, but at a regular Ward Building or Stake Center.
5:00a seems like a bit of an exaggeration, so I'll assume you mean 5:45a to 6:00a. It was always said that getting up early made you "healthy, wealthy, and wise", or at least healthy and wise. It...

Make sure that it's actually a Memory Card and not a Microphone.
If it is in fact a Memory Card, take it out, blow into the slot, and blow into the Card. Gently wipe with a cloth any metal you see on the Card (don't wipe the screws, okay?), the plug it back in.
If that doesn't work, try a different Card.

Answer to:
I opened the Gamecube while a game was starting and put a new one in. After that an error popped up and told me to refer to the booklet, which I don't have. What can I do?
Press Reset on the GameCube. It's the purple button on your left (assuming your GameCube is purple).
When a game is already starting, it's a little too late to change discs. Of course it'll give you an error. If you have the game in (and the cover closed) before the GameCube logo disappears, you're good.
Answer to:

Answer to:
My Gamecube will not recognize the controller for the 1st slot. I tried lightly blowing into both the slot as well as the controller connector but it does not work. What should I do?
First up, lemme ask you something: Did your 'Cube fall on its face? Mine did, and it quit registering Controller 1 because it was smashed inside.
Either way, CALL NINTENDO. You can find their Technical Support number on the back of any instruction manual. You may be able to get a discount because you're sending them a GameCube, but keep in mind that it WILL BE REPLACED....

No, you can't reset the GameCube. When you turn it off, that's resetting. What you've got to do is call Nintendo's Technical Support (on the back of every instruction manual) and see what you've got to do to get it fixed.

Which Gameboy color games, if any will work on the original Gameboy?
None. Game Boys are not forward-compatible, but they are all backward-compatible.

Also, as Unicycle stated, the shape of the cartridge keeps changing, preventing you from actually sticking in an incompatible game.

Answer to:
What does the "n!" mean, on a scientific calculator?
The exclamation point isn't putting stress on the n; it's putting stress on you!
Now it's time to be serious (darn it).
The universal extension of n! is
n! = n * (n-1) * (n-2) * ... * 2 * 1 .
Meaning that
10! = 10 * (10-1) * (10-2) * ... * 2 * 1 , or
10! = 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 .

Okay, guys. To answer the question, it's not exactly a bug. It's the HTML editor taking take of coding and keeping characters straight.
For example:

< --> & lt;

This is the end. Unfortunately, getting the calculator repaired will cost more than the calculator itself. In this case, you'll just have to call it totaled.
However, if you have programs you wish to salvage, you'll have to link together your old calculator and your new one.
Here are some steps:

Because He has one. God Himself is male, and He also has a wife in Heaven. Obviously, She is female. You may hear references to "Our Heavenly Parents" rather than just Heavenly Father or Heavenly Mother.

Answer to:
What is the most effective item in Mario Kart 64?
In "Mario Kart 64", it's a tossup between the Blue Shell and the Boo. A Blue Shell is extremely tough to come by, but when launched, it chases the player in first place (even if the player who launched it is in first!) and races along the ground, hitting everyone in the way. The Boo, on the other hand, allows you to become invisible AND invincible AND steals an Item from...

Answer to:
Will the Revolution require purchase of an HDTV?
WARNING! OPINIONATED ANSWER!
No. Why? Does the 360?
Anyway, I don't think that it would, even if it's HD compatible. Nintendo's a bit more reverse-thinking than that. I think that their systems still won't require HD when that's all that's around!
Answer to:
How much will the games for the Revolution cost?
WARNING! OPINIONATED ANSWER!
I'd expect $50 to be reasonable for new games that are expected to be awesome. For games where Nintendo expects a bit less, I'd imagine $35-$45 would be appropriate. I don't think any cool games will premiere at less than $35, though the price-drop effect has been known to kick in about a year after release...
Answer to:
Will the Nintendo Revolution controller be wireless?
Oh, yeah. And you won't even have to plug anything in! The receivers for all four controllers are built right into the system!
Answer to:
Will the Revolution be marketed more to adults?
WARNING! OPINIONATED ANSWER!
Why would they do that? So-called "adult" games are really nothing short of immoral. Nintendo (inferring from their trend) is going to keep that in mind as they continue to create flippin' awesome E-rated games, as they've done before with "Mario Kart: Double Dash!!", "Pikmin", and the original "Legend of Zelda"....

Answer to:
Is it true that the name of the Revolution has been changed to Wii?
WARNING! OPINIONATED ANSWER!
Yes, and, to be honest, the first time I heard it, I almost cried. But now, after thinking seriously about what Nintendo is trying to do with it, I think it was actually the best move they could have made.
Answer to:
What are all the items and what do they do?
I have one correction to make for Neocurrin's answer. You CAN in fact take damage while recovering damage via Heart Container or Maxim Tomato. Try it: start at 100 damage, grab a Heart Container, and have someone hit you while you're recovering. You will have damage left over.

Answer to:
Are the characters sonic and tails available in Super Smash Brothers?
WARNING! OPINIONATED ANSWER!
No. Sonic and Tails never were in 'Melee', and if I had my way, they'd stay out of 'Brawl' for the Wii. I have nothing against them except they, like Snake ARE NOT Nintendo characters.

Answer to:
What was Mario and Luigi's last name?
The movie 'Super Mario Bros.' was never actually part of any Nintendo storyline in any way, shape, or form. They only say that because they're called the Super Mario Bros. Nintendo has never actually given them a last name, and I believe that this is because (a) they don't have one or (b) they haven't come up with one yet. But I can assure you with 200% certainty...
