Do you think all living things deserve to live?
|
If so, then why do we kill every bug that enters our homes?
|
Tough call, even if the question was about all humans not just all living things.\nZen monks would place rings on their staffs in order than they could jangle and allow small lifeforms to get out of their way so as not to be stepped on.\nTheir are no rings small enough to warn microbes and I am not sure that we should avoid killing some bacteria what might spoil our food or make our children sick. (Do you wash your hands?)\nAnd what about those things which are not exactly alive? Like viruses?\nWe do not kill every bug which enters our homes. Some people are fanatical about this and others live with spiders and ants crawling all over the place. Most of us would kill lifeforms we believe to be a threat to us or our families. Some might even capture and release some species (including mice and larger lifeforms).\nSome things to consider include: Are you affected by commercials which try to make you believe that you need to give someone money to buy a product which will kill some lifeforms to make you healthier or happier? What happens to the lifeforms that become resistant? Do you really want polio and smallpox living among humans? How about 'skeeter and the west Nile virus? or Maleria?\nLife is not simple. Not for bugs. Not for humans.\nAt least humans can think about what they are doing before they make a choice.

how can i learn c++?
|
There are many ways to go about it. \n\nOne of the easiest and quickest would be to join a class or course on C++. Most computer institues offer one. \n\nIf you want to learn yourself, you could buy a book and practise. There are many books available on the market. C++ by Sumita Arora or C++ by Balaguruswamy are excellent books. \n\nJust remember, what ever you learn, you should definitely practise either at home or school/college computer. Practise includes trying to write and compile and debug your own programs . writing and debugging on your own is the best way to learn any programming language. \n\nFor home use, many free c++ compilers are available on the internet. Just use google to find some.\nHope this helped.

Are there truly reactions for every action we do?
|
I heard it said that we cause reaction for every thing we put in motion. From brushing our hair, to picking our nose. No, not the obvious reaction (ie softer hair, or a cleaner nose) but there is some type of snowball energy effect that moves through time and space.\nAny takers?
|
yes there is a reaction. If you are standing completely still and you are pushed the reaction is you move relative to the force applied and the resistance force of friction and inertia which varies depending on your mass.

origin of word picnic?
|
You may have read the gossip sweeping the Internet on the origin of the word picnic. Some claim that picnic is derived from lynching parties of blacks. This is incorrect.\n\nInstead, the origin on the word picnic is French (piquenique) and was invented long before the atrocities towards blacks took place in America. This French word - piquenique - signifies an outing with food - similar to the word's meaning in English. At these piqueniques, the attendees would all bring food to the occasion, similar to what we call potlucks today. The outdoor concept of a picnic did not originate until the 19th century.\n\nSo, how did this word originate? We are unsure what the word pique actually means. There are two options: leisurely eating (picking) or a delicacy of food. Nique was selected since it rhymed with Pique.\n\nHistorians have found this French word in references outside of the French language as early as 1748 and into English by around 1800.

What happens if you have two start codons in a row or what happens if you have a start in the middle of a gene
|
Initiation of translation depends on the sequence around the start codon as well. The translation machinery looks for a consensus sequence that stabilizes binding. I believe false starts can lead to aberrant transcripts, which would be degraded. The start methionine may be the first in the mRNA transcript, but doesn't have to be. As previously mentioned, an AUG in the open reading frame codes for methionine.

How is a credit score calculated?
|
I heard that it's bad to have more than 2-3 credit cards as it will negatively affect your credit score. Is this true?
|
According to Wikipedia:\n\n* 35% punctuality of payment in the past\n* 30% capacity used, i.e., ratio of current revolving debt (e.g. credit card balances) to total available revolving credit (e.g. credit limits)\n* 15% length of credit history\n* 10% types of credit used (installment, revolving, consumer finance)\n* 10% recent search for credit and/or amount of credit obtained recently\n\nActually the more credit cards you have, (and keep up to date on payments) the better for your credit score. You should never be over 75% of Credit Limit, to increase your credit score.

Are there any movies where the aliens win?
|
Just a question that came up tonight when I was watching the new War of the Worlds with some people. And I guess my question applies to monsters too. AND I mean win against humans, not other aliens or monsters.
|
The modern American alien/monster movie was born in what many film history textbooks refer to as the "Return to Myth" era, which many believe continues today. It is defined by the "quinesential battle of good versus evil"...which I personally find tired and is merely used as an excuse to go back on all of the insights provided to us by Mr. Shakespere (I say this, because all of these monsters are really just abstract representations of human/societal characteristics). The bottom line is that, as long as the alien invaders represent a mennace to our society *ahem*, then they will always be defeated by the purity and justice of our American resistence. Yes...it's just the Cold War that won't go away, venting itself out in entertainment. We'll get over it someday, and the monsters might start winning again. (King Kong...almost. At least he got the girl.)\n\nGood versus evil aside...E.T.?

do retarded people get offended when we make fun of them, or don't they know the difference?
|
I see there is a new movie coming out that plot line looks like it's about mocking "developmentally challenged" people. At first I was disgusted, the common reaction, and then I asked myself, are "challanged" folks aware of being mocked/do their feelings get hurt? If they do, this movie is an abberation
|
It does not matter whether they can understand or not. It is hurting the person doing the teasing. It's very bad for the soul because you set yourself above the target. This is a form of pride. When you were first disgusted with the film, that was your conscience talking. When you started to compromise the "voice" inside, it stopped. This is what the Bible terms "searing your conscience with a hot iron". Not to that extreme, but more and more steps will make that "voice" inside you grow dim.

Well we kinda do every November. It's called an election and that's how we decided to structure our electoral process. There are mechanisms to impeach members of the administration but you'd need to do it in the order of succession. At this point, it would take too long to get this administration out. Remember how long the Clinton impeachment took?\n\nPeople here seem to forget that there were actual criminal proceedings against the Clintons. Bush really hasnt done anything that's illegal. You might not like his foreign policy, but that dislike probably doesn't extend too far beyond Iraq since that's ALL that's covered by the mainstream media.\n\nHow about what the Bush administration did for the Pakistan refugees after the earthquake? The approval ratings of Americans skyrocketed after that.

How important is a degree?
|
Don't let these people mislead you. On average, having more education results in better life outcomes along many domains of interest, starting with monies earned. That does not mean that you cannot succeed without a high school diploma or college degree- it does mean, though, that an MD will be much more likely to succeed than someone with a GED. \n\nIf you are asking about the marginal benefit of obtaining say, a master's degree over a bachelor's degree- there are still often benefits, but they do become more limited after a point, so it depends on your life circumstances.

Why does nascar call grand national cars stock cars?
|
Those cars are not stock. They are custom made racing cars covered by a body shell that makes them look a little like a stock car. Do the stupid rednecks believe they are stock? The NHRA would call those cars funny cars. Do they have any rules that stipulate what parts of the car have to be from a production car.
|
Back in the early days of NASCAR, they actually did race stock cars... That is, cars you could buy right off the showroom floor, with very few modifications for performance or safety.\n\nOver the years, as cars got bigger and engines more powerful, there were more accidents, and more drivers injured or killed. NASCAR started changing the rules to make the cars safer and more competative. First, they required seat belts and roll bars, then full roll cages. They went from gas tanks to fuel cells. They restricted the horsepower of the engines and made other modifications to make the cars stronger and safer. \n\nOver the last 50 years, the race cars have evolved into what you see today... A completely hand-built racing machine that somewhat resembles a factory production car. \n\nYou can find more information on the cars and the history behind them on the NASCAR web site.

I have oily skin and everytime that I get a pimple, it leaves a dark spot. How can I removed them?
|
I agree with the answers that say not to pop them. Here is some food for thought. The red spots are actually inflamation. Anytime you have a red spot on your body from whatever cause....it's usually inflamation. So a good way to combat this is to find ways to stop inflamation in your body. Now, i had acne for years and people would tell me that the food I ate didn't matter. However, I think that is BS. One way to regulate inflamation is by trying to control your blood sugar, eating foods rich in Omega 3 fatty acids (good fat), and avoiding Omega 6 fatty acids (saturated fat). \n\n1. Always eat the meat or protien part of your meal first. This will slow down digestion and help prevent a blood sugar "spike." Also, look at the glycemic load of the carbs you are eating. What I mean by this is look at how fast your body converts this to sugar. There are many tables you can download on the net. \n\n2. Omega 3 fatty acids will give your skin the most radical change in looks in as short as three days. They do all kinds of things to your body that I don't have time to go into. Yes, this works even if you have oily skin. Sources of Omega 3's - Fish (Salmon is the best), Flaxseed, nuts, olive oil, avacado, etc.\n\n3. Avoid Omega 6 fatty acids - you do need these but you want a decent ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3s. Unfortunately in our society of McDonalds and Pizza, people have the ration backwards and get too much Omega 6's which causes stress on your body and then inflamation. \n\nNot only will this strategy give you better looking skin but it will also lead to felling better and being healthy in general. I recommend buying a coupld of books if this is a real problem for you.

The date December 25th, came from the Romans when the Juian calendar proclaimed in 46 C.E. that the winter solstice was December 25th. (It was later chnged to December 21st.) The pagan Romans celebrated the winter solstice. Yes the Catholics took over Rome and adopted the partying and claimed it was their holiday.

if the hymolicaduflop doesnt pajiburate with the dubiator then what does?
|
i hope i spelled em all right....
|
I recommend pre-emptive tympanic maintenance on the dielective protobolster. Then you should be able to make the hymolicaduflop pajiburate, or (barring that) reossify the maddian luicer to pajiburate with the dubiator until you can get the whole thing fixed.

what does it mean "to stem"?
|
It could mean a lot of things, depending on the context.\n\nOne common usage means "to hold back", as in "She needed a way to stem the tide of emails asking her for a date." Actually, "stem the tide" is common enough that it basically is a unit all its own.\n\nBut it can also mean "remove the stem of" as in a flower, or to "put a stem on", or in linguistics, to get the most basic form of the word.\n\nThere are lots of online dictionaries which help with this sort of thing:\nhttp://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=stem\nhttp://www.m-w.com/dictionary/stem

Does anyone know anything on John A Mcdonald?
|
Full name: Sir John Alexander Macdonald\nDate of Birth: January 11, 1815 \nPlace of Birth: Glasgow, Scotland \nSpouses: Isabella Clark & Susan Agnes Bernard \nProfession: lawyer \nPolitical Party: Conservative \n\n\nThe Right Honourable Sir John Alexander Macdonald, GCB, QC, PC (January 11, 1815 – June 6, 1891) was the first Prime Minister of Canada from July 1, 1867 – November 5, 1873 and October 17, 1878 – June 6, 1891. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland.\n\nWhile there is some debate over his actual birthdate, January 11 is the official date recorded and January 10 is the day Macdonald celebrated it. His parents, Hugh Macdonald and Helen Shaw, met in Scotland in 1811. After the failure of his father's business ventures, his family immigrated to Canada in 1820 along with thousands of others seeking affordable land and promises of new prosperity.\n\nMacdonald did prosper, becoming a lawyer in 1836 and earning the esteem of many in his defence of American raiders in the Rebellions of 1837. In 1843, at the age of 28, he married his cousin, Isabella Clark (1811 - 1857). They had two children: a son John who died at the age of one, and a second son Hugh John who went on to become premier of the Province of Manitoba. Ten years after the passing of his wife, in 1867, the year of Canadian Confederation, he married Susan Agnes Bernard (1836-1920). They had one daughter, Margaret Mary Theodora Macdonald (1869-1933).\n\n\nPolitical Rise\nIn 1843 Macdonald exhibited his first interest in politics. He was elected as alderman of the City of Kingston, Ontario. The next year he accepted the Conservative party's nomination for a seat in the Legislative Assembly of what was then called the Province of Canada but has since been split into the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Winning the seat easily, Macdonald was now a player in the political scene.\n\nHe gained the recognition of his peers and in 1847 was appointed Receiver General by William Henry Draper's administration. However, Macdonald lost this distinction when Draper's government lost the next election. He left the Conservatives, hoping to build a more moderate and palatable base, leading to the creation, in 1854, of the Liberal-Conservative Party under the leadership of Sir Allan McNab. Within a few years, the Liberal-Conservatives would attract all of the old Conservative base as well as some centrist Reformers. The Liberal-Conservatives came to power in 1854 and under the new administration Macdonald was appointed Attorney-General. In the next election Macdonald continued his rise in politics by becoming Joint Premier of the Province of Canada with Sir Étienne-Paschal Taché of Québec for the years 1856 and 1857.\n\nIn the election of 1858, the Macdonald-Cartier government was defeated and they resigned as Premiers. (Taché had resigned the previous year, with Sir George-Étienne Cartier taking his place). In an interesting piece of politics, the Governor General of Canada asked Cartier to become the senior Premier, only a week after his defeat. Cartier accepted and brought Macdonald into office along with him. This was legal as any member of the cabinet could re-enter the cabinet provided they did so within a month of resigning their previous position. The coalition government was again defeated in 1862. Macdonald then served as the leader of the opposition until the election of 1864, when Sir Étienne-Paschal Taché came out of retirement and joined ranks with Macdonald to form the governing party yet again.\n\n\nFather of Confederation\nAt this point in Macdonald's career, he began to look to the future of politics in his region. He was the leader of arguably the largest British colony in the surrounding area and had the power to help enact agreements to confederate the British colonies. This would be done in an attempt to provide stability to the colonies, which were experiencing frequent government changes, to provide the basis for expansion into the

What to do about liking a girl that in the past liked you back but you still haven't gotten over her?
|
there was a girl that i was talking to in august. I messed things up by pushing for a relationship b/c i didn't want to fall for her and she not do the same for me. so i pused her away. Now we are freinds again and she spends more time with me then her current bf. 3 weeks i told her that i was falling for her. we both liked each other in aug and the attraction i would say is still there. I've said in front of her and freinds that i'm done with going out and getting wasted i want to settle down. well the last 2 sundays she's come over and the first one she cleaned in the morning and cooked me dinner last night i cooked and we watched a movie and she stayed the night. the previous night she asked about moving in with me. What should i do. I really do think i love this girl but she is very very confussed at what she wants in life. could she be scared that i want a serious relationship and she can't handle one, should i move on? I can't say this stuff again b/c i enjoy spending time w/her.
|
well if in the five months that this has been going on it seems that you havent spent to much time with her and all of a sudden she wants to move in and has a boyfriend. RED FLAG, if you like chaos then go ahead.

|
Freelancing can be a tough affair. Your best bet is professional networking to find jobs. In the open contractor market you will likely be undercut and underbid at every turn. \n\nI use a professional networking site called "linkedin.com" to help me identify prospects or for people to find me. \n\nGoogle Adwords have also been very helpful for me, but you really need to be dedicated to make that a real option.\n\nCraigslist also has potential in the help wanted areas.\n\nYou can also look at the various contractor for hire websites out there, but beware, competition is fierce, sometimes with PHP coders going for $5/hour from overseas competition.

|
I always wondered if Oprah would run for president if she would have enough of a following to win... So many people hang off her every word that I sometimes think she could be the first Black, Woman president. Would she even be taken seriously?
|
I seriously hope she couldn't. People NEED to have experience working in politics before they should be allowed to run for president. At the very least, she should have to work her way up. Then, I believe she would have a very good chance.

Your best bet is to access those sites elsewhere, and just not access them at school.

why hitler hates the jews?
|
any1 know anything about that .. please help me
|
Primarily because it was popular to do so at the time. Hitler believed in a conspiracy theory that said the Jews wanted to take over the world. Hitler wrote (well he dictated it and it was heavily edited) called Mein Kampf - My Struggle in English, that does shed some light on his anti-Semitism (hating of the Jewish people) I've included some resources below that may help you in your research. \n\n(I am not Jewish, but in an effort to be unbiased I must disclose that I do have Jewish relatives. The links I provided I have found personally useful and I find their coverage of the Holocaust to almost universally accepted. There are however small groups which feel that the Holocaust never happened. You will have to draw your own conclusions. I was not alive then but the historical records and primary source material I have consulted have convinced me of the horrible reality of the Holocaust or Shoah.)

How can I teach my son to hit a baseball?
|
For both new hitters along with those looking to improve, the 'old fashion' tee combined with soft toss (i.e. tossing a ball to your son and having him hit against some type of barrier, such as a fence) is a good way to build mechanics, confidence, and bat speed. For both, you can tape off a section on the barrier/fence in order to promote hitting the ball to an area. Then combine these drills with regular batting practice.

my hair is straight and i use bedhead but my friend wants to know what kind of shampoo to use.So what should she use to change her hair from curly ro straight?
|
It really doesn't matter what shampoo you use, it matters what you do after you're done shampooing it. Just blowdry it with a round brush and apply some shine gel. You may want to watch someone do it at the salon before giving it a shot yourself--it takes practice and a good blowdryer (or straightening iron).
