I know diet is an important part so, what are some things i should be eating?<br /><br />Getting six pack abs is not hard. There are tons of web sites and books on ab exercises. Not having them hidden behind a layer of fat is the hard part. There is no exercise you can do that will reduce fat just over your stomach. You have to do long hard aerobic exercises to reduce your total...

What made you convert?<br /><br />You're not going to get a sensible answer to this. People here use the word "atheist" to have two meanings. Some believe it refers to people who actively believe that there is no God. Others believe it refers to those who don't actively believe in God. Me, I was born without a belief either...

(such as, they commit more crime)<br /><br />Because statements like that cloud the issue and feed stereotypes. Because people who make statements like that generally don't know the difference between causation and correlation. Post hoc ergo propter hoc.

It's a male dog, so he would have been a male witch. What should I do?<br /><br />Weigh it and see if it weighs less than a duck. If it weighs less than a duck, it will float on water like a duck. Since witches also float on water, that means the dog is really a witch. It's just basic science.

Or is it all destined?<br /><br />Of course there is such a thing as "coincidence". It is the word we use to describe the situation where two events occur at the same time. That's all it means. Just like "colinear" means two things are on the same line, and "cooperate" means that two things operate together. anil, did you get...

The body simply doesn't work that way. Doing a huge number of ab exercises will help in that it will build ab muscles which consume more calories in general, but it is an extremely inefficient way to lose belly fat. You will just get great ab muscles,...

Situps and crunches, which are anaerobic, will not reduce belly fat by much. They will only develop strong, defined ab muscles, which will be completely hidden by your belly fat. Mainly you have to burn more calories than you consume....

I have to go all the way upstairs to sleep and can still hear my husband in our bedroom. He sounds like a chainsaw!!<br /><br />White noise is very helpful. Like a fan, or a special sound box. Sleeping on his side will only work until he rolls over on his back. Earplugs help, if you can sleep with them in. If the snoring is really bad, he should get ckecked out by a professional, in case he has sleep apnea or something.

There are too many innocent citizens in N. Korea and too many bystander countries nearby. But I do think the US military would march in there and dismantle the country.

Just look at the front page of this "newspaper" if you want to answer this question. It's the UK version of the National Enquirer. It's targeted at barely literate conservative people.

Her mom is a band sponsor, so she goes to every game with us. Is there anything illegal about our relationship? What are your feelings about the possible relationship in general?<br /><br />Short answer: It is never unlawful to have a consensual relationship with someone. This is part of your First Amendment guarantee of Free Assembly. Sexual contact, however, may be illegal at certain ages, but this is highly dependent on what state you are in. Oh, this question was posted 2.5...

James Dobson said, "I would just like this country to remember its foundation, to remember its heritage and honor it," But didn't our founding fathers support separation of church and state?<br /><br />*During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial.

More or less in all places, pride and indolence in the Clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution. *What influence in fact...

So we've been in violation of 'separation of church and state' since James Madison called for it?<br /><br />James Madison didn't call for it. All he did was say, "It's not really appropriate for the government, but it's not too bad so long as you don't force people to do it." Even the latest federal judicial ruling isn't saying that it's bad or wrong. Just that it's not the place of the federal...

It's just what you are called when you don't follow any religion. All I've ever heard from atheists is: Please stop trying to pass laws based on crazy old superstitions. or Please stop voting for unqualified...

It&#039;s a low-level, very powerful language with a lot of different parts to learn. If you know C, then you can write a C++ program. Mastering all the aspects of C++ can take a long long time, but learning basic C++ is easy enough.
