It is hard to walk in someone else's shoes. Truman believed that dropping bombs would save American and perhaps even Japanese lives in the long run. We didn't have much U-235 or P-239 so we really couldn't afford to potentially waste a bomb demonstra...
jimahl, I don't wear my atheism on my sleve either. In general I let people get to know me a while before I tell them that I'm an Atheist. I figure that after they decide that I'm an ok person when they learn I'm an atheist that they will start to se...
I don't hate Jesus. I never met the guy. The Bible stories of him seem rather far fetched and I can't even be sure he actually existed. Many scholars feel Jesus was a composite of earlier hero/savior figures in other religions rather than a literal ...
I like to buy organic but I also buy localy farmed food that isn't necessariy organic because I think buying locally is important also. Because of the expense I still buy some conventional produce and dry goods.
I started out conservative. In my family Democrat and liberal are both dirty words. Like flossheal I started to think for myself. My conservativism was based on a series of premises that as a young man I accepted without question. Things like: Th...
A rather general question. Do you have a specific example of what you are asking about.
I had some anger against Christians that was hard to give up. Lets just say that Christian students and teachers treated me rather shabily growing up and it took a few years for me to let my anger go. In our culture everyone is supposed to respect ...
Vinegar is a natural antihistamine and will lower the inflammation of your sunburn. Just fill a spray bottle with 1/2 apple cider vinegar and water and spray it on your burn. Yes, you will smell like vinegar for a while but this is much better th...
The way you are trying to loose weight is all wrong. Is just not eating sustainable? Can you see yourself doing this for the rest of your life? You can loose a boatload of weight by fasting but when you start eating again you will likely gain it a...
My understanding is that in the states it is legal for someone under 21 to drink alcohol if it is provided by a parent or spouse over 21. Most people enjoy alcohol without becoming alcoholics. I know my dad let me have a taste of beer when I was qu...
Cook your own food. You can buy dry beans, rice, and seasonal fruits and vegetables inexpensively and cook your own nutritious meals. Convenience food is expensive and often highly processed and high in sodium, fat, and refined flour and sugar.
metric system? I the metric system everything is based on powers of 10. In the American measures nothing is. There are 3 teaspoons to a tablespoon There are 2 tablespoons to an ounce There are 8 oz in a cup There are 2 cups in a pint There are...
Your hairy tongue is caused by a fungal overgrowth. Not a serious condition but it can be embarassing. Like others said use a tongue scraper and have good general oral hygene and it should clear up. It isn't really hair so don't try using a razor on...
I grew up in the country as well. We had a well and a septic tank. In most cases water from a deep well is clean and safe but you will need to have the water tested to sure. The water from our well was very soft, slightly effervescent, but slightl...
Phrannie, ever consider that 60's flower children who went on to become Reagan Democrats than neoconservatives have in the end became everything they hated when they were young? People who protested the Vietnam war but now that they are older they are...
-the animals will overpopulate the earth Humans are not the only predator. Nature does just fine keeping the balance without mankind assisting it. Whenever a species gets overpopulated its natural predators increase in numbers and take care of the...
As far as were they fall on the capitalist vs collectivist scale there is little difference between Republicans and Democrats. The main difference is which programs they like to spend money on. Bush has spent far more money than Clinton did. Is Repu...
Depends on my mood. Usually green though sometimes purple. I also like Maroon.
Mint chocolate chip is my favorite ice cream as well. Has been since I first tried it 30 years ago. This is one of the reasons I'll never go 100% vegan, every now and then I need my ice cream fix. Copulating with ice cream sounds messy though. Le...
The best way I found to discover new bands is the pandora website. You can make your own "radio" station by putting in the bands you like. It will play songs from those bands and similar ones. You can rate songs so over time it learns what you like ...
I first heard this riddle decades ago when women doctors were less common than they are now. It used to really be a stumper for a lot of people. At the time most people would guess step-father because the idea of a woman surgon seemed so unlikely.
First lets get one thing straight. When your mom said that her divorce was your fault she is absolutely full of crap. She is saying mean things to hurt you; probably for something you shouldn't even be faulted for. You need to find a kind supporti...
Neither would be my first choice but since it seems to be coming down to those two I have to vote Obama. I used to like McCain but he sold out big time in order to sinch the Republican nomination.
Generally nicer grocery stores stock a variety of teas. The tea isn't always the highest quality; for the best stuff you generally have to go to nice tea stores or buy on the internet. As far as cheap green teas go I'm a fan of Mr. Lee's Tea. It...
You don't need insurance to drive or park in a parking lot. In general you should call the police any time there is more than a few hundred dollars of damage or if anyone is hurt. Every time I've called the police after someone hit me they did writ...
Interesting because I'm pretty obviously a nerd. Back when I first got on the Internet (1986) there was almost nobody but nerds here. Now kids are coming onto the Internet that we (yes, us nerds) built and saying they don't like us! The company I wo...
Are you talking about bottled teas? In bottled teas the taste is going to be influenced as much by the flavors and sugar added to it. Most flavors of Lipton Brisk tea are made with black teas though they sell a green "brisk" tea now. The various k...
I listen to almost everything except Country, Disco, and Techno and even in these categories I make a few exceptions. To me the best genre of music is Bebop. There is nothing like the complex soaring solos of John Coltrane or the cool pensive solos...
Depends on the workout and your goals. When I do a weight and/or aerobic workout early in the morning I don't eat before. I'm generally not hungry right after I wake up and I find that eating slows me down. I usually drink a cup or two of black co...
I get migraines. I typically only get a few bad ones a year. I get migraine with aura or visual disturbances. When one of these headaches comes on I get either blind spots, pulsing lights, or I see lines that look like when you burn your retna fro...
Nobody is perfect, everyone does bad things they later regret including people who are generally good. You can't judge a person from a single action.
I think anything between consenting adults should be legal including recreational drugs. They should be regulated though. Don't sell to kids, make sure the drugs are what the label says with respect to dossage and purity, and of course there should b...
I don't believe you are in danger of contracting any dissease from toilet seats. I just sit without any fanfare. Those stupid paper thingies stick to your bottom and theighs and are more bother than they are worth. If some jerk before me peed on t...
Old Testament Bible stories are ancient and predated Aristotle They were part of the Hebrew oral tradition long before they were written down. The books of the New Testament were centuries after Aristotle died.
Lunges use most of the leg muscles. In patricular they are good for the quadraceps, glutes (or "rump" as pinkpearl indelicately put it), and the hamstrings. There are variations in lunges that change the muscles emphacised. Lunges have the rep...
It is true that she can continue to run since the superdelegates can change their mind at any time and neither candidate can win without the Superdeligates. At some point she has to ask herself what is best for our nation. The longer she clings t...
I only took one education class in college and our professor there told us that it is safest to never physically touch students since even the most innocent contact can be misinerpreted or blown into something it isn't. The best thing at this point wo...
Looking at life from a natural selection point of view the purpose of life is to survive and to pass on favorable traits. Any meaning beyond that is our own invention.
The only reason I can see for Obama to name Ms. Clinton as his running mate is to pick up as many of her supporters as he can. Many of her supporters said that if Clinton doesn't win they will vote for McCain or not vote. Clinton's supporters are not...
I had an earing almost 30 years ago and you can still see where the hole was.
Different GPS systems have different capabilities. All the ones I've used have the option to avoid expressways. Some higher end units even get traffic updates and take this into consideration when calculating the optimum route.
There is a lot of debate about use of weight belts. Some say that relying on weight belts let your back get weak and that with proper conditioning of your back and abs that you don't need a weight belt. Others point out that weight belts allow yo...
A coworker who visited New Zealand said it was beautiful there and AFAIK it is a really nice place to live. Other top choices for me would be Vancouver BC Canada and Monterey California.
The diet most recommended for hyptertensives is DASH or Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension. This was devised by doctors and in tests was effective in reducing blood pressure in many patients. This diet is designed to be low in sodium but high in...
It is free do rip your own mp3s from any CDs you own. There is where I got 99% of the tunes on my iPod.
While the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil is represented in Western art and tradition as an apple nowhere in the Bible is the kind of fruit identified. I've read arguments that the fruit was in fact was a banana. If that is the ca...
Only with a dress. I have to say that I miss the old days when women wore stockings or hose. Every time I see a bare legged celebrity is a nice dress I can't help saying to myself, "gosh she would look so much better if she wore hose." Women tel...
amblessed: Sorry if I misunderstood who you were commenting to. I thought you were saying the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was justification for Christians violence; sometimes it is hard to follow the various threads. flossheal: The Religious...
Some studies have shown a slight effect but don't expect miracles. Oolong tea seems to have a stronger effect than green tea though. Personally I like green and white teas so I try to drink some every day.
amblessed: God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah not Christians. In the Bible God tells Christians not to seek revenge and that vengence is his. I don't believe Christians can use God's violence to justify their own. Jesus is the example for Christian...
