  • Is it bad that I slouch?
    Try to figure out why you slouch. If it is because of weak trapezoids and/or tight pectoral muscles? Do you have a skeletal deformity? My wife slouches but her vertebrae are wedge shaped rather than rectangular so she really can't stand straight, ...

  • Which are you? (100.00%)
    The ACLU is neither a liberal nor conservative organization. They defend the civil rights of anyone regardless. They defend the right of NAZIs to march in a parade through Jewish neighborhoods. They defend the rights of anyone who's civil rights are...

  • Obama or McCain (100.00%)
    I'm not a single issue voter. Probably the diligence they show performing their sworn duty to defend and uphold the constitution is highest on my list. I don't think either party is particularly strong in this regard. The current administration seem...

  • Performance enhancing drugs? (100.00%)
    For the most part athletes want drug testing and clean sports. Athletes who use performance enhancing drugs usually only do so because they believe that other competitors do and they must do so in order to be competitive. This becomes a viscous cir...

  • Comebacks for vego debate 2
    1) There are lots of good sources of iron other than meat like leafy vegetables and legumes. 2) Whole grains, vegetables, and fruits are very healthy. Meat has lots of artery clogging saturated fats and cholesterol. On the average vegetarians live...

  • John McCain announces his plan to end the housing sell off.
    Everyone seemed to think that home prices would keep going up without end. While home prices had gone up for a long time it was pretty unrealistic to think that this would continue forever with no blips. Everyone thought of a home as something you ...

  • How do I download and play videos on a psp?
    I use a program PSP Video 9 to convert downloaded videos into the format playable then load them on my PSP. Every now and then a video I convert won't play but in general it works very well. One tip I'll pass on about this program is with the defau...

  • Feeling like your fallin, whilst trying to sleep.
    A doctor told me that when you jerk yourself awake because you think you are falling it is because you are experiencing sleep apnea. When you stop breathing in your sleep this is your body's way of quickly getting you to breath. I'm not 100% sure thi...

  • Diet Help.
    Loosing 20 lbs in a month is a pretty tall order. Remember that the last few lbs are the hardest. Not sure what your rush is but from a health point of view you are best off loosing your weight slowly.

  • calorie intake? Can this be right?
    I was reading that Lance Armstrong measured his food and based on how much he trained he ate just the right amount. Perhaps to be an athlete at his level you have to count calories like that. When I was a competitive bike racer I thought nothing of...

  • I am a veggie, advice me some protein supplement (100.00%)
    Eat a varied diet of healthy foods and you will get all the protein you require. Eat your whole grains, legumes, potatoes, and vegetables and you won't have any problem. Carl Lewis who won 10 olympic medals was a vegan at the peak of his career. ...

  • how many glasses of milk should I drink a day? (100.00%)
    I'd say zero. What other mammal drinks the milk of another species? What other mammal drinks milk into adulthood? The way I see it dairy is the most unhealthy thing we consume. Milk does have calcium but it is also high in protein. Processi...

  • what is the best movie you have ever seen this summer ?
    I vote for Iron Man but there are several hit movies I never manged to see (Journey to the Center of the Earth for example).

  • vegetarian tacos (urgent!)
    The only thing you can do is ask. Traditionally refried beans are made with lard but many people use something else to make them healthier or so vegetarians can eat them. Another potential problem is rice. Some people use chicken broth when they mak...

  • nickelback-rockstar/annoying!
    Not really a nickelback fan myself. Rockstar is a pretty catchy tune but it has been massively overplayed. My 5 year old daughter is obsessed with that song and knows most of the lyrics. Suffice it to say that I've heard this song way too many times...

  • too strong
    That sounds like a bizarre explanation to me. Bones grow when the growth plates on the ends of bones lay down more bone; the strength of the bone has nothing to do with this. After adolescence these areas thin and growth stops. Most women reach thei...

  • A view on Life? Religion or Not?
    Reading about your worldview brings to mind two faiths that have parallels. The general view of Unitarian Universalists is that each individual should embark on their own search for truth. There is little in the way of core dogma here; just a frame...

  • too much carbs
    Carbs are the body's preferred fuel. Carbs got a bad wrap durring the Atkin's craze. If you are eating 100% whole wheat bread and brown rice these are in fact very healthy. Of course too much of anything is going to keep you from loosing weight. ...

  • Proof of Purchase
    The thing you have to consider is that religion only makes sense to believers. For those outside of Christianity, Christian claims seem as bizarre and unlikely as the claims of other religions seem to Christians. When a Christian tells me that I'...

  • Fertility problems
    Since you are still young there is no reason to panic. Most doctors advise women in their 20's to try for at least a year before seeking help for their infertility. If you are still unsuccessful after a year of trying than consider seeing a fertility...

  • vegan and vegetarion?
    There are all kinds of vegetarians. The most common type of vegetarianism is lacto-ovo vegetarians. They don't meat meat of any kind (including fish and fowl) but they do eat eggs and dairy. Veganism is more than just diet. Vegans in addition t...

  • Gender neutral policies
    Depends on the situation. I see little harm in using the gender neutral they instead of him or her. When I worked at a university a dozen years ago they quit calling the head of departments "Chairman" and went to the gender neutral "Chair" Again no...

    So long as we are talking about 1st trimester abortions the decision is the woman's.

  • what do you think of racism?
    Few people will admit to racism or publicly defend racism but the truth is that most people are racist to a certain extent. I can't always fault people for their racism, people who grew up when it was a widely held view often can't get past it now. ...

  • does biking burns a lot of calories ?
    Like all exercise the amount of calories burnt depends on duration and intensity. Puttering around coasting most of the time won't burn many calories. If you go a demanding speed and keep at it than you will burn more.

  • What would it be like if the internet wasn't invented?
    When I was younger we didn't have widespread access to the internet. At one time only universities and defence companies were on the net. I still used word processors, spreadsheets, etc. It was just more difficult to share information. I remember i...

  • Immigration (100.00%)
    The way I see it, our entire system is set up to exploit illegal immigrants. Many of our industries are dependant on cheap labor. Illegal immigrants are easily exploitable because being illegal they can not complain about unfair or unsafe work condit...

    As far as I'm concerned there is nothing wrong with prostitution so long as nobody is forced to do this against their will.

    Your best bet is not to work form companies that have drug testing. Drug testing employees is an invasion of privacy. What business is it of your employer what you do on your own time? I haven't taken recreational drugs in decades but I won't wo...

  • Being Vegetarian: I have to point this out.
    I've been a vegetarian for 28 years. It's been good for me. I have to admit that I didn't really see any improvement in my health as long as I was still eating lots of eggs and dairy; only when I started to avoid dairy did I see my health improve. ...

  • Sore throat??
    Salt water can work wonders, do it several times a day if necessary. Chloroseptic also eases sore throat pain. Naturally, go to a doctor for a severe sore throat or one that doesn't clear up in a few days.

  • Nursing
    There is some math involved in nursing but nothing too complex. You will have to be very precise and accurate when figuring dossages, rates, etc. but it is more detail oriented than anything else. Quietness is something you will have to overcome. ...

  • What is scientology? (0.00%)
    In general I don't have any problem with any religion or faith. The problem I have is when churches try to force their views on others or when they do things I disagree with in extra-religious areas like politics or economic or social policy. One t...

  • BMX freewheels and drivers? (100.00%)
    What you are seeking is called a fixed gear. Some people just call it a "fix" With a fixed gear there is no freewheel, whenever the rear wheel turns the pedals also turn. Track bikes have fixed gears and no brakes. To slow down track riders have to...

  • Do you believe that michael phelps eats 12,000 calories per day? (100.00%)
    I have no trouble believing that at all. When I was a competitive bike racer I was eating over 10,000 kcal/day yet I was still under 5% body fat. I wasn't near olympic calibre, just competitive at the local level.

  • Can you tie a cherry stem with your tongue?
    Some people cheat and tie a cherry stem and put it in their cheek. After their next drink they put the new stem in the mouth then push it into their cheek on the other side then produce the tied stem. When they can do so discretely they take the othe...

    No easy way around it. It is best to be honest. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.

  • Religion a scam?
    Is all of religion a scam? Not really, most people want to believe in God, a just universe, and an afterlife. Even if all existing religions could be eliminated people would quickly think up new ones. At its lowest level religion fills a psychologic...

  • How important do you consider your vote?
    The way our electoral college works most individual votes do not count. I live in a red state. It will go Republican, the only question is how large a margin McCain will win by. Since each state is its own winner-take-all mini-election my vote has...

  • Who do you think is the greatest athlete alive or dead? (0.00%)
    I don't consider Lance Armstrong to even be the greatest cyclist of all time. Armstrong did win 7 Tours which is more than any other cyclist in history but the TdF is the only race he rode seriously. Miguel Indurain won 5 Tours but also won 2 Gir...
