Mon, 28 Dec 2009 10:53:42 -0800

In the shower/tub you primarily use, which way do you turn the faucet to get hot water?

I clicked the wrong poll thingy... It is supposed to be right for cold, left for hot - but it got plumbed in wrong so we pull the level right for hot and back round to left for cold. (In the basins and sinks we have one lever for hot, and one for cold)

Answer to Your religion/belief system is...

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 10:50:11 -0800

Your religion/belief system is...

"Other" ... It is transient, evolving, changing, sceptical, honest and questioning. In some ways it is open, in others (morality) it is very closed and definite. It's a web of beliefs - if I remove or change one of my beliefs, the whole system is not going to crash down around me.

Answer to How can you tell if you have dyslexia?

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 10:10:24 -0800

How can you tell if you have dyslexia?

Take a proper test given by an educational psychologist, or other professional! I got until the age of 19 with absolutely no idea at all that I was dyslexic. My teachers, who are supposed to know the signs, had so far not picked up on it. That test is the only way to tell for sure - Yes...

Answer to Do american fathers care about their daughters honor? if yes, then why don't they teach them not to have sex before marriage?

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 08:03:50 -0800

Do american fathers care about their daughters honor? if yes, then why don't they teach them not to have sex before marriage?

Who says they don't? Just because some of their daughters CHOOSE of their own free will to have sex out of wedlock, does in no way imply their fathers have not told them/advised them/tried to inspire them to only have sex in marriage. Other fathers (now I am taking this worldwide) think there...

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 07:47:13 -0800

Does anyone here actually believe the stories in the Bible?

Yeah, I believe some of them, to a certain extent. I also believe that others are portraying real events, but have been either exaggerated, or have been enhanced; or have been mistranslated; or have been written reterospectively inspired by fables and stories after the date... this last one...

What are you doing New Year's Eve this year? Is it different from last year?

I will be going to a bar with friends... Last year I went to my S/O's sister's NYE party. I used to love NYE, would always do something big, it was THE party night for me. I just can't be bothered anymore, and wouldn't mind just going to my cousins house to play some games in my PJs.

Answer to How is Boxing Day celebrated?

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 07:42:02 -0800

How is Boxing Day celebrated?

In the UK it is an extension of Christmas Day in the sense that it involves seeing family and friends (probably those who weren't seen on Christmas Day), eating and drinking. It's another family day (probably a more lazy one than Christmas). Often people will go to watch the Boxing Day...

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 09:09:12 -0800

Facebook rolled back many of their more radical site changes after their end users threatened to leave over them. Will AnswerBag do so too?

I think they will, I hope they will... I can't help but think it would be a bad move to not listen. I am guessing they made the changes because they think they are doing what their consumers and potential future consumers want. If they now see that they had it all wrong, and consumers DON'T want...

Answer to Has the UK gone too far in developing its "special relationship" with the US, to the detriment of its relations with mainland Europe?

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 02:19:41 -0800

Has the UK gone too far in developing its "special relationship" with the US, to the detriment of its relations with mainland Europe?

You know, I don't think that the US helps Britain's place in Europe. However, whether they like it or not (!) we are part of the EU and as such we still have a very workable relationship with the rest of the EU which cannot be taken away just by our relationship with the US. It makes more...

Some Americans seem so perfect, they look picture perfect to all times, and act perfect all the time,neat and tidy, how do they get like that?

You just described my best friend.. she is American. She got like that by having a mega rich Daddy to fund the illusion of perfection and an image obsessed "Mom" to teach her the art of the illusion of perfection. ...But behind closed doors, its a different matter! All about keeping...

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 02:32:11 -0800

Yes... Parents cannot be expected to monitor every aspect of the child's behaviour, they can't be expected to be able to change every aspect of it - but the buck stops at the parents.

It would not be the best comparison, or the most accurate - but there are some underlying similarities. Even if one of them just falls down to genocidal intent.

Answer to Why do dogs sniff other dog’s butts to say hello, why don’t they just bark in their face or something?

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 13:51:19 -0800

Why do dogs sniff other dog’s butts to say hello, why don’t they just bark in their face or something?

Because by sniffing butts they can identify another dog. Dogs release an anal discharge which has its own unique scent. They're not going to get that kind of "introduction" and identification of another dog just from barking =)

I have successfully changed my accent. It's just natural to me now. I still don't have the accent I would like (and I am never going to have that, nor really try for it because I will sound rediculous) - but at least now I'm not going to be judged the second I open my mouth. ...

How much should I chip in towards the holiday tip for the office cleaning lady? I'm usually gone before she cleans the office and I believe I've only seen her a couple of times.

Pet owners! My dog had surgery yesterday and he was prescribed a drug that internet research has revealed has "death" listed as a side effect. Would you feel comfortable giving your beloved pet a medication like this?

No.. but since death is also a possibly side effect of having surgery, I don't think it makes much difference if it is just as necessary to fix the problem as the surgery was.

My friend won't eat at a sushi bar if the sushi preparers are Hispanic or Chinese. He considers that inauthentic and says that Japanese have higher sanitary standards. Would you call that racist?

It's just the "higher sanitary standards" bit that jumps out at me as being racist... That does sound like a racist comment to me yes. However, in a bit of fairness to him I have worked in a Pan Asian restaurant - and the Chinese Owner/Head Chef put me (as the only white person)...

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 09:59:43 -0800

How much should you pay for a good engagement/wedding ring

I've heard that an engagement ring should be 3 months salary. Now, if someone can barely scrape enough money together to cover all their monthly expenses anyway - then paying that amount definitely isn't a good idea!

I am so very surprised! So I checked it out for the UK, it turns out that it is legal in the UK only when the offspring is in danger of a sex-linked genetic disorder. That, I don't have a problem with... Being entirely legal for reasons other than that - I don't like it. Makes me...

No. I did have one interviewer who, amongst other things, told me disrepectfully that I probably had no chance at the job. It was the toughest interview I have sat. Turns out, it wasn't an honest statement at all. He was just trying to scare me out of the job and see how well I held up to...

Answer to In western countries, what is the maximum hours of work allowed per week. I am asking about live in domestic workers, maids etc. , who may not have a set amount of hours wrote on a contract.

In western countries, what is the maximum hours of work allowed per week. I am asking about live in domestic workers, maids etc. , who may not have a set amount of hours wrote on a contract.

In addition to the US based answers - The EU was talking about imposing a maximum 48 hour working week. I am not enitrely sure how that has panned out yet, but I think it has been enforced officially. My contracts (in the UK) have always stated that anything above 48 hours is optional. Saying...

Answer to Isn't it a shame that, of all the things he did in his very short lifetime, that LOU GEHRIG is mostly remembered by people, for having a disease "nicknamed" after him? Would YOU want to be remembered like that? I wouldn't!

Isn't it a shame that, of all the things he did in his very short lifetime, that LOU GEHRIG is mostly remembered by people, for having a disease "nicknamed" after him? Would YOU want to be remembered like that? I wouldn't!

Some people find this an honour, I know there some ABers think a great way to mark the importance of Mr. Hawking is to rename it Hawking's disease. Sounds like an appauling idea to me! I wouldn't like that! On the flip side, if it wasn't for the Gehrig having this named after...
