Why are illegal aliens trying to get rights if we allow this it wouldn't mean anything to be an a US citizen
I am personally against giving rights to people who have no respect for the law by entering or remaining illegally, however they are desperate to get rights because usually they are very impoverished or refugees from tyranny and want badly to stay in the US where even abject poverty is better than what they had.\n\nAnd no, we are all not illegal aliens as one person suggested. The American Indians were not the first here. When their ancestors came over here, there already existed people before them. Those people were then conquered, killed, or assimilated by the ancestors of the American Indians.\n\nConquering was for thousands of years, an accepted part of the life of mankind and countries grew out of those wars. We are simply one of those countries. I was born in this country and I am a citizen.

When are you the most happiest?
I'm the most happiest when I roll over, looking at the clock, and it's 8:00 am Saturday morning! :)
Great question!\n\nI'm the happiest at about 2 a.m., I'll usually wake up (bathroom needs ya know lol) and walk around the house, just making sure. I'll stand in their dark room and listen to my little girls peaceful breathing in their sleep and hear how clear and healthy it sounds. When the moonlight kisses their cheek and I see the roundness of their little faces, I remember the babies they were, and I am happy.\n\nEach of them is a unique and wonderful gift from God, for like the biblical Sarah, I had to wait, past the point of hope. Seeing their little faces reminds me of when that gift was new and precious, when I thought I couldn't love them, or God, more. And I smile because I see now how wrong I was. I love them and God even more today. :)

from where can i download toefl 2006 book and then take print outs and study?
I am a professor of English studies in Guangzhou, China. There are students who actually scan TOEFL, ESL, and TOEIC books to send to people who are in an English Corner chat room via the e-mail. The books are too expensive for most Chinese. There are some unscrupulous individuals that can actually re-print the material and sell them for half price.\nIf you think these methods are right for you, you can go to Yahoo Search and type in English Corner Chat Rooms. Sorry, as a professor, I am not allowed to give out this sort of information.

How easy is it to insert a tampon for the very first time?
I imagine it would help if you were already masturbating so that you were familiar with your anatomy.
I think I know why you're asking. Maybe you have a young girlfriend and you're asking for her.\n\nI am talking now of personal experience.\n\nI started masturbating as a child, many years before my period started. When I got my period, I discoverd it while I was masturbating....\n.... that was very disgusting....\nJust as a proof that many girls also masturbate at a young age.\n\nIf a girl masturbates, she knows her body better than a girl that doesn't. I heard many questions like "where to put the tampon" - this is just weird. I also just read a question about that here.... and I answered this girl that she should masturbate to learn more about her body.\n\nBut really, using a tampon has nothing to do with masturbation itself. Using a tampon has in general no pleasing factor. It's not really great to use tampons, you just have to.\n\nThe first time, it could hurt a little, but the girl should carefully read the instructions in the box of the tampons.\nThen it will be alright.

Is nationalism a form of racism?
It very much depends on how you define nationalism. If it means just being proud of your country and your roots that's one thing, if it means treating people who come from other countries into your own as second class citizens or making their lives hell simply beause they don't originate from the country they now live in, then yes, it's racism in my view.

do u kno d formula for megnisiumbicarbonate??
i hav to submit it by 25 of june.do u think u can help me wid it.
As mentioned above, Mg(HCO3)2\n\nIt was so easy.. in which grade u study?\n Do u know how to make formulae? Just learn the valencies and symbols of most commonly used elements... Here are some for your help...\n\nMagnesium (Mg): 2\nAluminium (Al): 3\nCarbonate (CO3): 2\nBicarbonate (HCO3): 1\nSulphate (SO4): 2\nBisulphate (HSO4): 1\nSodium (Na): 1\nBoron (B): 3\nBeryllium (Be): 2\nCalcium (Ca): 2\nPotassium (K): 1\nChlorine (Cl): 1\nBromine (Br): 2\nFluorine (F): 1\nNitrogen (N): 1\nCarbon (C): 4\nHydrogen (H): 1\nOxygen (O): 2\nHydroxyl (OH):1\nNitrate (NO3): 1\n\nI think they are enough for you...\n\nNow see how to make a formula:\nStep No. 1: Write the symbol of each element in a compound. \nE.g. You want to make the formula of magnesium bicarbonate. Write their symbols...\n\nMg HCO3\n\nStep No.2: Write their valencies.. \nThe valency of Mg is 2\nThe valency of HCO3 is 1\n\nMg (2) HCO3 (1)\n\nStep No.3: Now cross the valencies of each element.. It means write the valency of Mg with HCO3 and write the valency of HCO3 with Mg\n\nand here you go with the formula...\nMg (1) HCO3 (2)\n\nNo need to write 1 with any element..\nso it becomes,\nMg(HCO3)2\n\nHere are some more examples..\nPotassium hydroxide\nK OH\nK (1) OH (1)\nKOH\n\nCalcium hydroxide\nCa OH\nCa (2) OH (1)\nCa(OH)2\n\nMagnesium chloride\nMg Cl\nMg (2) Cl (1)\nMgCl2\n\nSodium sulphate\nNa SO4\nNa(1) SO4(2)\nNa2SO4\n\nAluminium nitrate\nAl NO3\nAl (3) NO3 (1)\nAl(NO3)3\n\nHere is one last rule for you:\nIf the valencies are equal, do not cross..\n\nExample:\nCalcium sulphate:\nCa SO4\nCa (2) SO4 (2)\nNow both the valencies are equal, so just cancel the valencies...\nand the formula becomes,\nCaSO4\n\nAhhhh... got tired... Hope this helps.. good luck for you submission.. Now u can also explain your teacher that how u got the formula...\ncya\nAllah Hafiz

What is the image of (-1,3) by a half turn about (1,2)?
a. (3,1)\nb. (1,-3)\nc. (-1,-2)\nd. (3,-1) \n\nback up your answer por favor
Is that REALLY how you spell "please" in Spanish? I must have not heard it properly. The answer is A.\n\nSee:\n\nWhen we rotate a point of coordinates (a, b) a half turn about point (x, y), the image becomes (x - [a-x], y - [b-y]). In this case, that answer would be (1 - [-1 - 1], 2 - [3 - 2]), or (3,1).\n\nAdditional details:\n\nTake another example:\n\nIf we were to rotate point (4,1) about (5,8), this would give us (5 - [4 - 5], 8 - [1 - 8]), or (6, 15).\n\nCheck it. It's true!\n\nNOTE that this is only verification, not proof. If you want proof, go to that other guy.

I would like to participate in national tournaments, but i don't have the money for hotel and travel expenses. Is there any way i can get a sponsor to help me out?
You just have to go door to door. Convince these companies that you have what it takes to be something great and just come right out and ask them if they will contribute to your boxing. I think that its no different than them donating to a charity. I was sponsored by a local tavern in my boxing days. Most bar owners in my opinion love all types of sports and boxing is a topper.

My little girls father is not on her birth certificate, my fiance wants to adopt her....?
My daughters is 4 years old and has never meet her father. He is also not on her birth certificate. In the place where the fathers name should be it says "unknown". My fiance wants to adopt her when we get married. I was wondering if we had to contact the real father to sign away his rights or can we just change her birth certificate? Please any help/suggestions would help!
Man, I just went through this! If her bio. father pays child support, then yes he must be contacted to sign away his rights even if she has NEVER laid her eyes on him. If he doesn't pay or contribute in any way, when your child has gone without ANY paternal support for 5 consecutive years, then all you have to do is run it in the classified ads in your town for 4 weeks. The newspaper will give you an affidavit and you will have to sign one stating that you have not received any support from her bio. father. After that point, it is pretty smooth sailing. Hopefully you won't get an A-hole for a judge like I did... the same judge that ordered my son's father to only pay $96 a month for support <--- Please try to hold your laughter until the end of the paragraph. Thank you.

A store that sells new husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates.\n\nYou may visit the store ONLY ONCE!

There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof\nthat women are impossible to please.Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store

What do you think about a woman who just gives up on a marriage when the going gets tough to appease own self.
I havent always been the greatest husband in the world and after 17 yrs of marriage my wife got involved somehow with someone at work and thru me out of the picture all together. We are Christians and I can see in her face today that she knows deep pown that she is out of the will of God but continues to be deceived. I did not cheat on her. i just wasnt always there when I should have been. I love her very much and she wont even call me or comunicate with me. I have 2 kids with her whom I take to church every wednesday and sunday. She has stopped going to church all together and doesnt pray or read with the kids anymore. I am not giving up on her like she has givin up on me. I dont care if I have to fast and pray for 40 days in a row. i believe God can save her soul and deliver her from this garden of eden experience of being deceived that she is going thru. Any comments or advice for me? Thanks....Chris from Texas....or call 210-724-9853 with any council or prayer.

Bill Orielly?
Why do liberals seem to hate him so much. I watch his show and he constantly criticizes anyone,including Republicans when he feels they do something wrong. He goes after judges in order to protect children, speaks up on issues that the left , or any sane person should agree with most of the time. is it just that the Libs do not watch the show and simply follow mindlessly what their leaders say?
Well, for one thing, he claims to love this country, but what he really means is that he loves those in this country who kow-tow to his thinking, and he relegates anyone who disagrees with him to be no different than UBL.\n\nThis is a guy who said on national radio that because San Francisco residents had the sheer temerity to vote for something he didn't like, that Al Queda would be welcome to blow up the city. Last time I looked, San Francisco was part of the US, just as much as Kansas or Wisconsin. He says that people who want peace are traitors, but he is the one calling in strikes on US citizens.\n\nHe's arrogant, he lies incessently, and he has no tolerance for anyone who dares to disagree or, worse, tell him he is wrong.\n\nIf ever was a case for limits on the First Amemdment, it's him and his personal lap dog, Ann Coulter.

I've heard you have to let your body rest between workouts in order for you muscles to recuperate?
I weight train every other day and run every day. Does the running inhibit my muscle recovery? Should I just run every other day?
Depends on your age, base training, and overall health. And what are your goals, marathons, body building, or good health? If you have a specific goal or talent, a coach can surely help you develop that talent. Myself, I used the gym to tone a little and to warm up to run.\n\nHere's a summation of all I have read about the subject and my experience. I think the teachings are and have been for a long time that you should weight train no more than every other day.\n\nAbout the running - I ran almost every day for many years. It is okay to run every day IF you take 1 day a week to rest, and avoid overuse. Looking back at every illness and injury, I attribute to long periods of running without a day of rest. Overuse occurs in any form from illness to injury.\n\nI don't think running inhibits your muscle recovery unless you do excessive quad and hamstring in the gym, in which case, you are doubling workouts on your legs that I would discourage. In fact, running probably speeds up the flusihing out of lactic acid that builds up with weights.\n\nRemember that weight training shortens your muscles and running tends to lengthen your muscles. \n\nBottom line is this. eat right, take vitamins, listen to your body, get plenty of rest. Never forget that a good day of rest is as good as a day of training. GOOD LUCK.

im going to have a party for my son at the park and he wants a bounce house jumper. Do i need some kind of permit for it and where do i get it???? Please help thanks.
Not necessarily true. It depends on if this park is in the city or not, and whether or not it is a state or national park. Call the township park & recreation dept for the township it is in and they can answer all your questions. If this park is a national park, you simply won't be allowed to have it at all.

What can I do to have more energy?
I am part of a family of 10. There are 2 adults and 8 children , ages from 10years to 3 month old twins. I get at least 8 to 9 hours of sleep at night and I still feel tired and drained of my energy. I never feel like going out because I am to tired and wore out. This has just happened since I had the twins. The kids are the ones paying for it because I dont feel like going any where any more. Is there any thing I can do to change this or help this problem?
YES! Consuming a raw-food diet will give you all the energy you need! As well as curing any other maladies you may have. There are alot of good books to get you started; the best one I've found so far is, "Living on Live Food" by Alissa Cohen (www.alissacohen.com). Search, "eat raw food" on Google to find more resources. And DON'T take the advice about the energy drinks - as you probably know, sugar is an energy-sapper. Avoid caffeine, too. \n\nTo start, try investing in a cheapo juicer ($30 or so) from Wal-Mart. When I need a pick-me-up, I juice some organic spinach, a zuchinni or two, and a bunch of apples, then drink that concoction chilled. It's green but tastes like the best apple juice you've ever had, and it will really get you going, plus it's really healthy!\n\nKudos to you for having 8 kids - I only have 2 so far, but I HOPE I have 8 someday! :o)\n\n- Lauren

Indicate which molecule in each pair has the higher boiling point..Please explain why?
a) NH3 or b) PH 3\nc) C2H 5OH or d) CH3OCH3\ne) C4H8 or f) C10H20\ng) HCl or h) F2\n\nI know it depends on polarity and dispersion forces or H-bonding..but i don't get how you determine that...
Boiling point depends on the strength of the intermolecular forces. Following is the list of them all with their strength and when they occur. \nnetwork covalent (strongest) with only diamond or SiO2\nIonic (ionic compound, 2nd strongest) like Na-Cl etc. Gets stronger with smaller sizes. \nHydrogen bonding (N, O, F with H) 3 rd strongest. \nDipole dipole (when there is a polar molecule) 4 th strongest, gets stronger with more polarity. \nLondon dispersion weakest. Stronger with more mass. \n\na NH3of the first two. Because NH3 has hydrogen bonding (only if you have N, O, or F with hydrogen) while PH3 has regular dipole dipole (based on polarity), which is weaker than NH3. \nNow in this one its c because if you draw their Lewis diagrams out c molecule has on O----H bond while d doesn't. That hydrogen bond is strong enough to make c stronger. As other than that they only have London dispersion force, (which are found in non polar molecules, and they get stronger as atomic mass gets higher). \ne and f both have the London dispersion force that I talked about earlier cause they both are non polar. So f has greater mass so f has higher boiling point. \ng because HCl has polarity (dipole dipole forces) which are stronger than F2 which is non polar and has London dispersion forces (they are the weakest).

Why do Atheists who do not believe in God, bother to post on Religious topics?
Other than to be adversiral, I am curious what leads you to these topics if you truly believe in Atheisiam. There is so much intolerance in the world today, why post just to condemn something you have no use for anyway. I personally do not go bashing anyones beliefs or lack of them.
Copied from my blog for this very popular question. I tell you, I am shooting up to level 6 just cuz of this question! :-D Yeaaa!\n\nOh, ummm, it's Atheism for the philosophy and atheist for one who practices atheism. :-)\n\nI, as only one spiritual atheist, am here to learn about the various religions, philosophies and spiritualities of the world. I always held fascination with religions in general (not just christianity---ALL religions, old and new). I do not seek a "god" belief, but here to seek how people attain inner-peace, self-knowledge, inner-wisdom and how they attain peace in their lives in general---and that I might learn a thing or two. :-) I seek to find and improve on my own atheistic spirituality, to improve upon myself. Isn't that what spirituality is basically about? I believe so! \n\nI also hang out here NOT to "defeat religion" but mainly to give the "other side" of the equation, to give information, and to let others know that there are more than one valid way to see, learn and experience the world. R/S section is not "just reserved for the theists". It is reserved for all.

Univega Gran Rally bicycles manufactured in the mid 1980's?
What type of tubing was used to build my Univega Gran Rally frame? Useing the date codes on the Shimano componet parts. indecate that my bike was a 1983 model. Does anyone know any thing about these bicycles? or Have a sales brosure?
I know from personal knowledge that the bike you have was designed by Ben Lawee of lawee inc..I like the way the bikes of his design ride at least the 5 or ten of them I have experinced. According to sheldon brown (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/japan.html#univega) the biek you have was made by miyata-that in itself should be a more important factor determining ride quality that the type of tubing..\nMiyata started in the bike industry coming from the weapons industry in the late 1800's..from what I understand the made swords and when the first guns cae to japan they started making guns..this gave them the jump on drawing (manufacturing) tubing I am not aware that Miyata made there own tubing in the 20th centry though..that being said Miyata has had tubing drawn to its own specifications in the past and judging from the era of the bike it is a good guess that it has either Tange OR Ishiwata tubing. More important than that for your sucess with the bike is that it is still straight and that it fits you well as you don't want to put energy towards a bike that doenst fit right..A steel frame of that quality should last a life time so before you invest in improvements make sure you can ride it comfortably for a rasonable amount of time. I dont think I have a brochure in my files but I will check and reply here ONLY if I do..good luck with it and Stay on 2 wheels!\nerik ZO

WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE RATE OF DIFFUSION? (DIFFUSION LAB EXERCISE)
Higher temp = faster diffusion. Higher temps give the atoms more heat, which is basically a faster rate of the atoms vibrating. If they move around faster, they'll obviously diffuse farther in the same amount of time. Next time, do your own homework

Etiquette question....?
I'm having a party, an expensive one. Renting out a whole water park. Is it wrong to drop hints in the invitations about the cost in hopes that people chip in? Or even more blatantly, just asking for $? It's a b-day/anniversary party, and we'll probably end up with 200-300 people attending. We've asked for no presents. Thanks.
From an etiquette point of view, it is not allowed to ask for anything other than the presence of the invitee. If you can't afford the party, you should downsize it, maybe just rent a waterslide.\n\nYou can, of course, go through the guests' pockets which they will conveniently leave somewhere, but as Nixon once said, that would be wrong.

What is the effect of an intense magnetic field targeted at a single point in space.
When you say intense, How intense? I worked on superconductor magnet before and I don't think there is any effect to human...and i believe that that is the strongest magnet that we can made in our technology today. But I am thinking of a magnet which is stronger like the magnetic field of a neutron star.\nI would guess that in some degree, the magnet will cause physical problem since there are irons in our blood or other minute amount of minerals in our body.\n\nIf the magnetic field is targeted in a single point in space?\nIf that is possible, Nothing will happen because it is known that the force of magnetism is short distance.\n\nYou cannot concentrate the magnetic field like laser, the area of force will be related to its strength. The stronger, the larger area of force due to more magnetic lines.\n\nMagnetism is a kind of force and it will not turn to visible light. Light is made of wave particle duality and is totally different from magnetic lines of force.

The resistance of flesh?
One wonders, is it actually, physically, and sure, logistically possible to tear our a person's jugular with your hands or, Lord willing, teeth?\n\nI mean sure, a jaw has a huge PSI ratio so the only limiting factor would be the size of the mouth, but with your own stubby meat-tendrils? I'm thinking you'd need to let your nails grow a bit before you could get them through their supple neckmeat.\n\n... any thoughts?
resistance of the flesh depends on the status of the essense of blight in the human flesh, molecules, other bodies (spectral, infernal, purified, Dark, etc), the bigger that status the weaker the resistance. It also depends on the purpose of the current flesh form people use. Some forms require less resistance to be deadlier to problems they experience, when others have less control over it and need more resistance. + it depends on the person's void deepness factor, the bigger it is the closer resistance to that of a subconsious body. Well and of course the current spectrum of brain energy. The more intensive it is the higher the resistance..\n\n\nThe most common flesh resistance = Standard Subconsience humanity body flesh resistance.\n\n\nP.s. the next dude to post here "Loves" his children.

Im not a computer wiz but i want to learn more about it, so would this be a bad idea?
Computer Science is as much math as it is computers. Much of the work in CS is designing algorithms, which are often independent of the computers they will be used on.\n\nIf you enjoy working with computers, but don't know much, and want to go into a technical field like programming or systems analysis, then CS should be fine for you, but you also need to like math. If you're not fond of either computers or math, then it's definitely the wrong major.\n\nIf you just want to learn about computers, there are many courses available that teach you how to use them. CS is an in-depth approach to the mathematics in computers, not a way to learn how to use them.

There really isn't a difference and all of you out there who keep saying that if we invaded for oil - our oil prices wouldn't be this high are extremely naive. The Oil companies are making a killing which is exactly what this administration wants - Profits for big business. I mean look at all the tax breaks - the only group benefiting is big business and Americans who make over 1 million per year.\n\nAnd to those of you who still think we went in to Iraq to help the Iraqi's you are beyond misguided (if that were true we would never have supplied Saddam with wmd's to gas the Kurds, after which btw we did nothing). The U.S. doesn't care about helping the Iraqi's - if we did this for human rights reason we would have helped the Sudanese. We are in it for our own personal gain, which is evident by the fact that the government has changed the reason for the invasion 3 times since the start of the war. The bottom line is that Iraq was not a threat to us and we invaded them - killing thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousand Iraqi's. The world knows that we haven't liberated anyone. Iraq will turn into a theocracy just as Iran is and the women of Iraq will suffer. In addition, Iraq was a secular gov. in the middle east, one of the only ones, which provided some stability from all of the extremist regimes - now the hope for that is lost and there is no balance.\n\nThe terrorist recruiting pool has just increased ten fold.

What could cause leg pain?
Lately every time i lay down, my whole leg, from my butt down to my ankle is achy. its like a dull pain, i dont know how to describe it. what could cause it?
There are several reasons for leg pain, it could be muscular (like standing for too long), injury to your leg, or venous/arterial insuffiency (lack of blood flow) caused by narrowing/obstruction of your blood vessels. \n\nIf you think it's muscular, take pain killers if it's not contraindicated... ibuprofen usually helps. And make it a habit to rest or elevate your legs 45 degrees to improve circulation.\n\nIf you're not sure, consult a doctor about your condition because any form of pain you're experiencing is your body's way of telling you that something is wrong and you need to do something about it.\n\nFrom your description, it sounds like sciatica but please see your doctor.

Santina.\nDr Santina covers what we might call the basic Buddhist teachings over a series of twelve lectures. The basic teachings outlined here include: the Life of the Buddha, the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, Karma, Rebirth, Dependent Origination, The Three Universal Characteristics and The Five Aggregates. Dr Santina also puts Buddhism into its context by describing the pre-Buddhist background and gives an overview of Buddhism from a modern perspective in a very readable way.\n\nhttp://www.buddhanet.net/pdf_file/whatbelieve.pdf\n What Buddhists Believe (Expanded 4th edition) — Ven. Dr. K. Sri Dhammananda.\nThis expanded 4th edition of "What Buddhists Believe" answers many questions which are asked about Buddhism by Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. There are so many misconceptions regarding superstitions and misinterpretations which are associated with this noble religion that it has become imperative to explain the Teachings in a manner which has contemporary relevance.\n\nAbout Taoism\nhttp://www.religiousworlds.com/taoism/\nhttp://www.exploretaoism.com/\nhttp://winnie-the-pooh.ru/online/lib/tao.html

About the Adidas ad for the new ball they are using in the World Cup...?
If you have seen the ad for the new Adidas ball with the two boys picking teams of professional players, perhaps you can help with this question. The smaller boy chooses someone who looks like he is wearing an older German jersey and the other team looks shocked when the player actually trots onto the field. Does anyone know who this person is? My husband and I cannot understand the name they are saying...
Franz Beckenbauer, and the german players are shocked because he is very very old actually, in some matches you can actually see him sitting in the VIP seats, he is always wearing glasses and very very white hair, and if you pay attention, just after they pick him, the other kid chooses Michel Platini who is also an old star of France

Washington Redskins 2006. Predictions?
A solid season now that we have a offensive coordinator and new weapons on both sides of the ball. I can see a season similar to last season in a race fo the finish throughout the division, maybe even the Eagles to.
