Not really. Ever since I did, I don't have to use his formal title of "Satan the Devil." I just call him Bob.

Answer to What's your best advice to avoid a bully or to handle a bully?

Thu, 05 Jan 2012 11:06:31 -0800

What's your best advice to avoid a bully or to handle a bully?

If you can ignore them until they pick another target, then that's great. On the more likely chance you don't have the time or are not in a target-rich enough environment to satisfy the bully, there is only one method of retaliation: totally disproportionate response. Bullies are rarely as...

Answer to Here is a question about gas station prices?

Wed, 28 Dec 2011 09:37:22 -0800

Here is a question about gas station prices?

Rates are set based in what the gas cost them to buy; they're not going to sell it at a loss just to compete with the guy across the street. If they did, they'd be out of business in a week, as opposed to having bad business for a few days until the other guy has to get more gas at the raised...

Answer to Why don't the Government realise they could make money from tax if they legalised weed?

Wed, 28 Dec 2011 08:47:40 -0800

Why don't the Government realise they could make money from tax if they legalised weed?

The amount of tax dollars they'd gain is minuscule. Even if 10% of Americans smoked 1 gram each day, each gram costing $20 and $4 of which goes to taxes... American Population over 18 = 235,000,000 people 10% of 235mil = 23.5mil 23.5mil * 365days * $4 = $34bil So, you'd need a huge 10% of...

Tue, 13 Dec 2011 22:41:15 -0800

if your an athiest and dont believe in god, should you take presents at christmas

I love Christmas, and I'm not a Christian. Christians stole Christmas, anyway. It wouldn't matter to me if the holiday was about Christ, Saturn, Yule, the solstice, or the signing of the Constitution of the Republic of China; I'd still celebrate the holiday.

Answer to What is the difference between Honkey and Cracker?

Sun, 11 Dec 2011 23:25:37 -0800

What is the difference between Honkey and Cracker?

Honkey is thought to originate from the word "Hunky," meaning a Hungarian person; by the 1960s, it was used to refer to all white people. Cracker has its etymology in the term "whip-cracker," i.e. someone who cracks a whip, i.e. a slave overseer. So they have completely different etymologies,...

Answer to The digital world has been eroding the physical world: no USPS, no paper books, no newspapers etc. etc. How much more can it erode?

Sat, 10 Dec 2011 08:24:47 -0800

The digital world has been eroding the physical world: no USPS, no paper books, no newspapers etc. etc. How much more can it erode?

I used USPS 3 times in the last week to deliver products I order online, which is far more than I used them a decade ago. That's their future - and they can make much money money through packages than through letters. I also don't see the paper book industry eroding that much. I also don't see...

Answer to Can a straight man and a straight woman be just friends? Why or why not?

Sat, 10 Dec 2011 08:20:56 -0800

Can a straight man and a straight woman be just friends? Why or why not?

Only if neither party is sexually attracted to the other. It is very rare that occurs. Usually, whoever is less attractive, ergo not desired, than/by the other, will have a feeling that goes beyond friendship regarding the more attractive person.

Answer to Why is the life style of bisexual men widely accepted by heterosexual men and heterosexual women in the heterosexual community?

Sat, 10 Dec 2011 08:17:17 -0800

Why is the life style of bisexual men widely accepted by heterosexual men and heterosexual women in the heterosexual community?

I completely disagree with the premise of the question. I see no evidence that male bisexuality is widely accepted by either heterosexual men or women. Female bisexuality, however, is much more widely accepted by both heterosexual genders than male bisexuality, but neither is as accepted as...

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 20:52:36 -0800

if you fail to prepare, then prepare to fail. Do you believe this is true?

No. If I fail to prepare, I don't prepare. I am, by definition, not prepared. Ergo, I can not be prepared for anything. Including failure. This is how you see people who are not prepared shocked when things don't go their way, because they have not prepared themselves for that outcome, or...

Answer to Since when have women been guys? I have seen references to "you guys" on all-female comment threads today. Why?

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 20:49:42 -0800

Since when have women been guys? I have seen references to "you guys" on all-female comment threads today. Why?

Um...decades? "Guys" became a term for any collective group of people ever since the 1970s. Where have you been? The word "gals" was used over 50 years ago, but not anymore; anyone that uses it now sounds way out-of-touch. And, it's pointless, because "guys" has become gender-neutral; a group...

Answer to What is the Reason for you sagging your pants?

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 20:43:22 -0800

What is the Reason for you sagging your pants?

I don't think I sag my pants, but if you asked someone 20 years older than me, they might disagree. I have always worn jeans/shorts on my hips. Dress pants might be worn slightly higher than that; suit pants are worn just below the navel. I like the look/style of it all.

Answer to Does this guy have a crush on me?

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 20:24:18 -0800

Does this guy have a crush on me?

Directness is awesome, especially in 8th grade. Walk up to him and whisper in his ear: "I like you, and I want to know if you like me, too." It's the mature equivalent of "Check 'yes' or 'no." Just drop it on him. Keep looking him in the eye and watch his reactions. Chances are, you'll score...

Answer to Heat rises and hot air balloons go UP. So why does the temperature go steadily DOWN as you rise to the upper atmosphere?

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 20:13:31 -0800

Heat rises and hot air balloons go UP. So why does the temperature go steadily DOWN as you rise to the upper atmosphere?

Because atmosphere is complex. It has a variety of levels and changes pressure as you get higher. Just because heat rises in your house doesn't mean it continues that way for miles as it goes up (because, as it rises, it cools). Space, being a vacuum, is freezing; the ground, which covers a...

Answer to why do girls panties fit tightly, while guys undies fit loosely?

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 20:04:00 -0800

why do girls panties fit tightly, while guys undies fit loosely?

I don't know where you get that impression. I don't wear underwear unless it properly supports my wedding tackle. Boxer-briefs changed my life, and are as snug as a girl's pair of boy shorts. On the flip side, every girl has at least one pair of saggy granny panties. So this question...

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 19:56:34 -0800

would it be weird for a dude to switch back to tighty whities?

IDK. When I was 12 I changed to boxers. When I was 27 I changed to boxer-briefs. I don't like briefs, but who knows about the future. It took me 26 years to start wearing fitted dress-shirts; I wish I'd discovered them when I was 15! In the end, fashion changes, and so do we - we can change...

Answer to Is there such thing as an honorable suicide?

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 19:47:52 -0800

Is there such thing as an honorable suicide?

Seppuku is pretty much the definition. Honor is cultural. If you're Catholic, the answer is "No." If you're a nihilist, the answer is, "Who cares?" If you're a samurai, the answer is, "Of course!"

Answer to Why aren't table-top RPGs and strategies more popular?

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 02:31:57 -0800

Why aren't table-top RPGs and strategies more popular?

They take a dedicated amount of time/space/people to play that is often only used for that specific activity (Warhammer, especially). It takes a good number of people (often requiring the same people, as games run for a long time) and lots of time (in terms of the game itself, and the whole...

Answer to A ju-jitsu and judo martial artist are competing in a match. All things being equal such as size and ability in their sport, who wins?

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 22:24:13 -0800

A ju-jitsu and judo martial artist are competing in a match. All things being equal such as size and ability in their sport, who wins?

There's no way to gauge this. Each combative style has its own merits, and there are no indications about the rules of the "match." For example, I'd pit my Silat against any other martial art in a street fight, but I'd never be able to use most of what I do in a competition because it would be...

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 22:13:04 -0800

why perfume is so popular in the West, such as France? In the west, it seems common for boys and girls use perfume but in my country is...

Because it's been used for a long time there; it's become a cultural tradition. It all started because people didn't bathe, so they'd need to cover up the smell with something. That's how wearing flowers on clothing became so popular - people wanted to mask the smells they were smelling.

Answer to What do you like about USA?

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 22:10:00 -0800

Answer to Why do people try to push their beliefs on others? Why do people use gods/God to justify anything or argue against anything?

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 22:04:40 -0800

Why do people try to push their beliefs on others? Why do people use gods/God to justify anything or argue against anything?

There's no universal answer. Some people genuinely want to help; having a doctrine in a religion that obligates people to spread the word (as seen in Christianity and Islam) makes those religions more commonly spread and pushed. It's rare you find a Buddhist or Taoist or Jew or Hindu pushing...

Answer to Is nature really smarter than we are?

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 21:54:58 -0800

Is nature really smarter than we are?

Nature has no identifiable or quantifiable intelligence - humans do, ergo nature is not smarter than anything. Nature is more adaptable than humans, which is proven in its length of existence compared to our own; nature existed before, and will exist after, humanity. But that doesn't make it...

Answer to What is the correct sentence "She coocks a meal" OR "She bakes a meal".

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 21:52:09 -0800

What is the correct sentence "She coocks a meal" OR "She bakes a meal".

Well, "coocks" isn't a word, so the latter is correct. "Cook" is a more general term, not having any specific references to any method of cooking; "bake" is only applied when one uses an oven. So there is no "universal correct answer," though "cook" is always a safe bet - getting more specific...

Answer to Iron Chef or Iron Chef America?

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 04:34:46 -0800

Iron Chef or Iron Chef America?

Both suck. It's 20 minutes worth of show packed into an hour of broadcast. I don't like the play-by-play,but I can live with it. The really aggravating part is how the last 5-minutes of each segment being the same as the first 5-minutes of the next segment forces me to fast-forward the...

Answer to I am rich and my gf drags me to the mall so she can make me kiss her feet and laugh at me and call me names while she counts my money.

I am rich and my gf drags me to the mall so she can make me kiss her feet and laugh at me and call me names while she counts my money.

Do you call your girlfriend "Mistress" or "Goddess"? This post is aimed at Colts' fetish in being publicly humiliated; it's also why he gets off on kissing a girl's feet, getting laughed at, and called names. Don't feed the trolls.

Im 18 and my girlfriend is 15. Her Parents and family both know we are together. I live in Texas is this still illegal because she's 15?

You can be 50 with a 12 year old girlfriend; no one can do anything unless you're sexually active. The Age of Consent in Texas is 17 - no sex until then, unless you want to risk something nasty. It doesn't matter how known or liked you are - all it takes is a bad break-up...

Answer to Sorel is a canadian company but why the boots are more expensive in Canada than in US?

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 19:40:24 -0800

Sorel is a canadian company but why the boots are more expensive in Canada than in US?

You tax differently in Canada than they do in the US. Taxes on companies (and individuals, but that's not applicable here) are higher in Canada; the companies pass that cost on to the consumer to ensure their bottom line stays the same.

Is American Currency being printed in China yet?

North Korea is the top counterfeiter of US currency, and China is their primary ally. I'm sure, as almost everywhere has some people involved in counterfeiting, that at least some of China's 1,300,000,000 people are doing it.

Tue, 29 Nov 2011 03:15:44 -0800

Im bi sexual and people dont even notice im bisexual even though ive got lovely feminime features

I don't see what physical features have to do with sexual interest or gender identity. I also don't see how everyone can be fit into a convenient little box; it's interesting you have issues with how people see you or bisexual people, but have no problem assuming people are all the same in how...

No. I'm bringing back gifts from Taiwan, some of which were surely made in China, as well as acquiring gifts in the USA that were made elsewhere. America doesn't have the manufacturing base to provide enough products for people to "buy American." You'd basically have to not buy anything...

Spokes-person for Occupy Wall St. issues demands; what d'ya think? http://www.laprogressive.com/progressive-issues/occupy-demands/

I think they'd have a much better chance at appearing to be so "for democracy" if they weren't so obviously pushing their own political agenda on everyone. Their ideas are great but the political rhetoric (i.e. whining about "the radical right" and media pundits, as if Glenn Beck is any worse...

Answer to Am I letting him control me? He likely prefers I not dress skimpy(b/c of our cultur) & not smoke, so i won't

Am I letting him control me? He likely prefers I not dress skimpy(b/c of our cultur) & not smoke, so i won't

Sounds like you are controlled by cultural norms more than a guy. You say "likely" and "appears" and words like that; your communication with him is clearly lacking, and that's a far bigger issue than dominance/control.

Answer to For anyone who truly used to believe in God, but doesn't any more; could I please ask why?

Tue, 22 Nov 2011 08:12:43 -0800

For anyone who truly used to believe in God, but doesn't any more; could I please ask why?

I was raised a Christian, and I read the Bible a lot; I really enjoyed it. Then I started to ask questions about God that no one could answer, starting when I was around 7 years old. By the time I was a teen, the Christian concept of God made no logical sense to me, and I no longer believed it....

Answer to Do you support the UC Davis campus officers who used pepperspray on student protesters seated on the ground? Did they think no one saw?

Tue, 22 Nov 2011 08:04:27 -0800

Do you support the UC Davis campus officers who used pepperspray on student protesters seated on the ground? Did they think no one saw?

Yes. The cops told them to move; they didn't move. Their being there was not the problem; their causing an unlawful disturbance and refusing a lawful order was the problem. They locked arms in an attempt to create an inconvenience. The cops were well within their rights, especially given the...

How do amphetamine salts effect me? The generics of adderal

You're a speed-freak; you are addicted to amphetamines. At this point, you're only mildly addicted, but your choice of language ("need" is a bad word, when it comes to drugs) is indicative of addiction. But, that's your own deal. To answer your question (btw, there's this great website called...

Answer to Does a country need to have nuclear weapons to have a permanent seat on the united nations security council?

Tue, 22 Nov 2011 07:50:51 -0800

Does a country need to have nuclear weapons to have a permanent seat on the united nations security council?

There are only 5 permanent seats on the UNSC; that's all there have ever been, and they have nothing to do with nuclear weapons in terms of their creation. They were established after WWII, as the nations were the victorious ones. At the time, only the USA had nuclear weapons; Russia didn't...

Tue, 22 Nov 2011 07:42:10 -0800

What is the difference between an AK-47/a rifle/a gun? I guess the AK-47 can kill more people faster, right? Do you like 'em?

An AK-47 is a type of rifle. A rifle is a type of gun. I like AK-47s, to a point; considering they are only legal if they are not fully-automatic, I don't see why you think they kill more people faster. They have accuracy issues, as well. But, they're amazingly simple weapons, and not...

Answer to What evidence is there that American Middle East policies are working?

What evidence is there that American Middle East policies are working?

I actually read something about a year ago, when the revolutions started happening, that it was thanks to American policies there. That it inspired revolution. I don't agree with it, but it's one opinion on the subject, supporting the policies as being effective. To me, I see your question as...

Fornication. Sodomy. Listening to varieties of music. The freedom to think and question that which doesn't follow a specific doctrine of faith. Use substances in excess. Do anything in excess! Now, each Christian faith is different. Some are more/less judgmental than others when it comes...

Answer to Before you vote, will you please ask yourself if you're better off than four years ago?

Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:50:55 -0800

Before you vote, will you please ask yourself if you're better off than four years ago?

No. I have no reason to. I haven't been living there for 3/4 of those years. National policy has had little effect on me. I'll do the same as I do in every election; I'll weigh candidates against each other and choose the best one.

Answer to Whats the difference between fuck you and fuck off?

Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:41:41 -0800

Whats the difference between fuck you and fuck off?

Engaging versus disengaging. "Fuck you" is just a statement within the confines of a conversation - there's no implication of that conversation coming to a stop, based in it. "Fuck off" directly states that you wish for a person to leave or for a conversation to end.

Answer to Do you ever get sick of text messages? If so, when?

Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:40:12 -0800

Do you ever get sick of text messages? If so, when?

When they degenerate into pointless back-and-forths. I like texting. I like sexting (a lot). I don't like when people text "OK" and then an hour later ask why you didn't write back to their text.

Do you believe that it is possible for someone to not remember the name of the person he or she lost his or her virginity to?

Oh yeah. Seen it. Know people who can truthfully say it. Statistically, more people remember their first kiss than their first sexual experience. I, of course, remember every single base I rounded for the first time, and with whom I rounded it with. But I have a freakish memory. Oh, other...

Answer to Are there any satanist on here?

Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:34:57 -0800

Are there any satanist on here?

Depends what you mean. Technically, Satanism is just a belief in one's self over that of divine providence. To an extent, then, I am a Satanist. However, if you mean it as "A worshiper of Satan," then I'm not, because I don't believe Satan exists. So you'll have to be more specific, to pin me...

Answer to How critical are you of yourself? Why?

Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:33:10 -0800

How critical are you of yourself? Why?

Extremely. My criticism of others is nothing compared to the high-standard I hold myself to. If I let up on myself, I become complacent - stop learning - stop growing. "Good enough" is never good enough; it's the beginning of a downward slope.
