Do you LOVE/HATE your siblings? I love them. I have a sister I grew up with and have known my whole life and I have a brother that I found in the 10th grade. I was adopted when I was born and he is my biological brother. It's funny, we grew up in completely different environments and he had a pretty rough time of it, but we're an awful lot alike. Sometimes too much so.

How long does it take(like years or something) for humans to completely adapt to their surroundings? The human body adapts relatively quickly for various environments. I remember reading a while back that the body only takes about 2 weeks to adapt to certain situations and surroundings, such as significant temperature changes, different oxygen levels, gravity, etc. If we didn't, we wouldn't be nearly as successful as we have been on this planet. There is currently quite a bit of...

When the United States revolutionarily instituted our experiment in democracy, women weren't allowed to vote and Africans were chattel. Given this history, how is it that we feel capable of imposing standards upon newly-emerging democracies? I think you've touched upon a central issue. Although I'm confident we have learned much since our early days, we have forgotten one, very important key: WE decided to rise up against our oppressors. No one did it for us, although we did get a good amount of aid. And certainly no one molded our emergent democratic government. We made all of those decisions on our own. When the...

Atheists: What if you're wrong? Have you ever thought about that? The point that someone reaches in their life when they can truly consider themselves to live free of the very human concept of God and the various myths that surround "deity" is one that requires MUCH thought. I would wager that far more "believers" have not given their faith as much thought as "non-believers" have.

I have a single chest hair and single eyebrow hair that consistently grows twice the rate and length of its peers. What causes this? It's just an overactive hair root bulb. It's an anomaly, a small variant in your genetic makeup, like a burb or a hiccup in your body's constant growth. This most often results with age. I got one in my eyebrow pretty soon after turning 30. It happens to a lot of people and is really nothing to worry about. :)

Can i be in love with more than one person? Sure, but it's not true love, nor is it helpful or beneficial to any of the involved parties. Including yourself.

That may be something of a misnomer, though, as I don't believe he ever told anyone to worship him, just that...

How strong is the power of prayer,? . I believe that prayer is as powerful as you really believe it to be.

Without this, prayer of any kind is just words and wishful thinking.

I have a couple sets I bought just this year and none of them are very "dressy" looking. But they sure look cool!

Why do some American men import brides from third world countires? It's because some men, and not just American men, tend towards misogyny due to a lack of self-confidence and realization about how to interact with others of the opposite sex in any sort of meaningful way. Generally, women who have made themselves available, or more often have been made available, for "sale" as brides are often desperate to leave where ever they are from for...

Would you rather end hunger or hatred? If it were possible, I would rather end hatred. Hatred and the ignorance and misunderstandings that go hand in hand with it often can be found at the crux of many of the world's most severe problems, including hunger. Do away with hatred, many other things should start to fall in line.

My sister wants to get broadband, but she doesn't have a BT phone line. Is there a way she could get broadband without having one installed? I don't know how things are done in England, if that's where she is, but I don't think they could be that much different than in the US. I would say she could get broadband service through her local cable television provider. In the US, at least, most cable TV providers also provide broadband Internet access.

Are you more introverted (focused on your inner world) or more extraverted (focused on other people and the outer world)? I tend to be more introverted. When I realize that I have neglected friends, family or others around me, it sometimes requires a force of will for me to change modes. Maybe it's just part of my OCD, because I sometimes I can also get overly caught-up in things that go on around me. Sometimes, more than I should. Thank God for that force of will!

I think there may be isolated incidences of ignorance and hate and fear, but in general I don't think you could EVER get "most people" to do one single thing, let alone hate. People are really quite varied, one from another, and no two people...

Is there any connection between being cold and catching a cold? The relationship is somewhat spurious, but the old wives' tale *might* have a kernel of truth to it. If the body is cold for an extended period of time, it goes into a conservation mode, to keep the core warm. It does this by constricting capillaries first, to prevent too much heat from being wicked away near the surface of the skin. Then, it starts to slow the cardiovascular system...

Why do some people say they dont believe in christmas/god, and demand that god be taken out of the pledge of alligance, and that stores do not say "merry christmas" and so on, yet they have a christmas tree at home, and still open presents? I think you are generalizing to a rather large degree. I honestly don't know anyone who fits all of these qualities. If you know of a particular person who does this, you should probably ask them for their reasons. "Right from the horse's mouth", so to speak.

Personally, having used both of them, at one point or another, I prefer using uTorrent. For one reason, it is a really small client that uses minimal CPU power. It also comes clean of any adware or...

WHAT IS THE BEST LIGHT BULB FOR MY HOME THAT LAST THE LONGEST The latest technology for lighting is LED. They are more expensive initially, from other forms of lighting, but they are not only the LONGEST lasting lights (about twice as long as fluorescent and 10 times as long as incandescent) they are also the MOST energy efficient. The added initial cost is more than outweighed by the end-cost of energy usage. While fluorescent bulbs use less than 2/3...

Why do people get married instead of simply cohabitating? Well, for one, you're making a rather broad assumption that people in general get married rather than just live with someone. Recent statistics here in the US show that more people than ever are not married when compared to people who are. This doesn't mean that all of these people live in single apartments or lonely in big houses. Many people chose not to get married, while others...

Why is white bread white? Wheat bread last longer and is much more nutricious. So why white? During the early part of the 20th century, new understanding of germs and how people get ill became a sort of pop culture phenomenon. People started looking to sanitize their world. This was evident with the trends in kitchens and bathrooms being constructed of more easily cleaned surfaces with less intricate detail, where dirt and germs would hide. This was a reversal of the Victorian-style...

Why do i feel I am being looked down upon whenever I go to a Christian church? I am openly agnostic, and, for the most part, people ignore me at church, or think Im some kind of heathen.

Since any action may be part of “God’s plan,” how can a theist correctly judge the action’s morality? Honestly, I don't think a true Theist could, as that would be going against the prime concept that God is not only ineffable, but also omnipotent. To second guess any part of God's creation would, I think, be anti-Theistic. This is where a great many religions experience the paradoxes built into their own dogma.

How do you distinguish a person who believes in God VS a person who practices the Christian religion? Not a trick question. No penalty points. But, BONUS points for simple, clear answers. You really don't. Each person is truly only distinguishable, one from the other, by God alone. No one knows what truth lies within the hearts of men and women other than God Himself. I believe this is pretty clearly addressed within the Christian Bible.

I enjoy gardening, which requires ample amounts of sunshine....

Is it illegal to download stuff from Limewire, then use it? How would they find out if you used it illegally? Technically it isn't illegal for you to download files through Limewire.

The basic assumption for use of both this network and a client program, like Limewire, is that the files people are sharing are either not copyrighted material or both peers sharing the file own the copyright or...

Especially if it is a work outfit, like doctor, lawyer, construction worker, prostitute, etc. Regardless of who we are or what we do, don't we really clothe ourselves in the costumes of our position or culture?

Answer to:
Do you pray on a regular basis, or just in times of fear or worry, such as when your car is sliding through an intersection, you think you might be pregnant, you are afraid your husband will see the VISA bill, or you are worried you didn't pass an exam? I do not pray. I do not seek help nor guidance from without, only from within. Any answers that come from outside oneself are merely superficial and temporal. They are not eternal Truths and only serve to confound and obfuscate. This is my Truth. This may not be anyone else's truth. This is why I don't pray. This is why I meditate.

Why there are so much deception and corruption among the Christians? As said here among some of the other great answers, corruption is not just a Christian problem.

Why people likeness depends on a person's nationality, religion and color? Humans are pack animals, we like similar things as ourselves.

This becomes the "us versus them" mentality and draws us even closer together, like we're circling the wagons....

Does Ben Franklin have any living descendants? I would have to say yes, though there is no legally traceable lineage.

If I were travelling in a train at the speed of light, and then were to walk forward in the train, am I then going faster than the speed of light?

So, the closer you get to light speed, the heavier you get, eventually you will reach a mass that is so close to infinite that there...

An electric train is traveling at 32 per miles per hour west, which way is the steam blowing? Duh. (Should I really answer this....?) Electric, or more rightly called, diesel-electric does not produce steam.

Answer to:
Is it possible to shrink oil glands to cure oily skin? No. But it is possible to treat it topically and effectively. The best places to go would be The Body Shop or maybe an esthetician at your local day spa or salon. If you can afford it, go to a dermatologist, as both they and some estheticians can perform some very effective treatments. Best wishes!

Why does everyone who has committed an indiscretion against an African American appologize to AL SHARPTON?

He makes that much noise. Do you really think you, your house and your...

Answer to:
Are unions helping or hurting the American automotive industry? Unions certainly have their place, just like they did in the environment which spawned them. However, we have grown very complacent in our ideas of what we are due and what we should have to put up with in the work place. We are a "me" culture and often cannot see the greater good. Such as the recent troubles with GM and the UAW. While I certainly think that GM has the...

Answer to:
I have high risk HPV. just recently diagnosed. had a colposcopy and biopsy shows (A) typical cell changes? what does this mean? Do I have cancer? I'm sorry, but if you had this procedure and your doctor went over the results with you, why wouldn't you have asked him/her this question? It would be much more appropriate and informative for you to ask your doctor about this, and not an Internet-based peer-answered forum like Answerbag. Best wishes!

How painful is it to give birth? No! Of course not! How silly! If giving birth hurt, don't you think women would say that it hurt? Don't you think there would be jokes about just HOW MUCH it hurt?

Don't you think that anesthesiologists would have come up with something that would help BLOCK the pain, if there was any? I...

Do you think that space is endless? or it eventually stops? Space is not so much a "something", it is everything. It may be hard to conceptualize this, but there is nothing "beyond" space, which would indicate a limit. Space is what everything makes up. It is a dimension more than a place. Think of it like this: a point (zero dimension) is infinitely small; a line (one dimension) is infinitely long; a plane (two dimensions) is...

Do you prefer whole milk, 2%, 1%, skim or other? I grew up on a farm, so I was raised on whole, unpasteurized milk straight from the cow (or goat). Now, I think I would throw up if I drank that! Or worse.... I'm mildly lactose intolerant. I drink Lactaid (brand) Fat Free milk. It's actually not that bad, it looks and tastes like 2%.

In astrology, do you think the profile of the month you were born in, is accurate for you? Yes, but even with all the centuries of use and knowledge under its belt, astrology is still highly subjective to those who are more or less "armchair astrologers". We often either read into it so much that regardless of what we were told, we would be able to find the traits within us or maybe even have it hit so close to the mark (and maybe even highlight some unflattering things...

Answer to:
Why is Christianity so rich with Pagan iconography when they tried so hard to destroy any Pagan faiths? The main reason is because while they truly did want to stamp out Pagan religions (which, it might be noted, Rome did not consider what heathens and Pagans practiced as religions) the Roman Church found it often easier to incorporate some things that the people they were trying to convert into the faith. Remember, this was Rome. They were masters at taking useful things from cultures they...

When is it ok to use a fanny pack?

Why would anyone, aside from Wendora (she's ok, because she seems to have a doctor's note...

What lessons have you learned in life? That everything, for better or worse, is just as it should be. It couldn't be any other way, because there are reasons for why everything is as it is. When you get beyond the qualifiers we give things, like good or bad, then we can objectively look at what we see in ourselves, others and the world and trace back to what caused them to be that way. While emotions and ego are integral...

Do you shop at discount or used clothing stores and if you do, what do you buy? Yes. Not so much at discount stores (I'm picturing a strip mall with 5 different stores next to each other, all containing the word "Dollar"!) but I love used clothing stores. Consignment shops and thrift stores. I look for funky, vintage, retro styles in shirts, jackets and pants. I also look for that sweet deal on designer items. Lately, I've been doing a lot of this...

Is there life after death? One day we are going to die. Is that it? Work, work, work...die? I believe that life continues after one's death. Not by the dead necessarily; but life in general does. Nothing is ever destroyed or lost. Things just change. This is the way of the universe. That is what I take solace in. Everything now is built upon everything before it. And everything to be will be built upon everything now and past. Life always continues, in one form or...

Where can I find old movie posters? Yes. eBay has tons! But Google also lists a great number of places that sell them. You may actually find better deals at some of them, as people selling off their own collections may think they are worth more because of sentimental reasons and you may be able to find reproductions that are not as pricey as the originals.

Has anyone taken the weight loss pill Hoodia Gordinia, and if so, does it work? Yes. It works. Well, maybe! Not in the way other fat-burners or even appetite suppressants work. Hoodia Gordonii is an extract from a South African succulent (cactus-like plant). It supposedly imitates a chemical in the body that tells the brain that the body does not require food. This body-produced chemical Hoodia imitates is released into the blood stream as the stomach becomes full,...

Can you put songs on itunes onto your microsoft zune No. iTunes will only work with iPod. There are hacks and go-arounds, but these do not work seamlessly with either iTunes or Zune. Another way would be to use iTunes to burn an audio CD and then import them from the disk into Media Player. Here's a link for more information and a converter that may offer some help, if you need it. http://www.dvd-ipod.biz/itunes_to_zune.html

Is the Pope confined to the palace, or can he go out anytime he wants? He's out of the Vatican now. He's visiting Turkey this week. As for running to McDonald's, he probably could, but the Popemobile is too tall for the drive-thru. Seriously though, he probably has as much freedom of movement of any head of State would, like the President or Queen Elizabeth. Anywhere they want to go, they can, but it involves guards, police, motorcades, etc.

What is the terminal velocity I grabbed this right from Wikipedia. The terminal velocity of an object falling towards the earth, in non-vacuum, is the speed at which the gravitational force pulling it downwards is equal and opposite to the atmospheric drag (also called air resistance) pushing it upwards. At this speed, the object ceases to accelerate downwards and falls at constant speed. An object moving downwards at...

Can grey hair be bleached blonde? Yes. Grey hair does turn blonde when bleached. It may not do so evenly, so a toner may be required to get the desired color afterwards. Grey hair is very difficult to color with actual tint because it lacks some of the qualities of hair that still has pigment. The hair does not respond as well to the types of dyes used on hair with more pigment, as those need the pigment molecules within...

Why is bisexuality not widely accepted by the homosexual community? I agree with intuitive_demands answer, but I also think that some gay people may find the idea of "one of their own" not coming "all the way over" to their side of the fence. For most gay people, the coming out process was very difficult, from coming to terms with their homosexuality to telling their family and friends. So the idea that these people may not be fully one...
