Im looking for a word that starts with a P.


I want to know the word that starts with a P that means the philosophy of believing that there is no god or devil, that there is no after life, and that the soul dies with you when you die since it's only an idea like other material things. It was a philosophy used in ancient Greece maybe in the Hellenistic era, it might have come from the Roman Empire.... (correct me if im wrong) Can you guess the word???



10 points if you can.

On my way home from work the other day I encountered an individual I believe needs to be pimp slapped.

I was minding my own buisiness traveling a road I frequent, twice daily. When out of now where a woman riding what I believe to be a motor scooter blows a two way stop right in front of me. Now take into consideration I was at highway speeds. Apperently she doesn't realize that just because she is not operating a car or truck the stop sign applies to her. As if this wasn't bad enough take a guess what she had in her arms. Give up? A baby, no joke she had a baby in her arms riding a moped blowing a stop. Following her not far behind was what I observed to be a 9 or 10 year old girl on a 10spd, possibly her daughter or a relative of some sort. Here is the amuzing part of the story, apperently the little girl had more common sense than the adult and stopped at the intersection before proceeding with the adult looking back in horror as if the child was a stupid as she was. Though I was alert enough to slow down avoiding the near tragedy I still couldn't believe my own eyes.

Well here is my point. I believe the woman on the scooter, or moped what ever, should be served a dose of the "Pimp Hand".

a son called u and told u all about how she did that. u told him not to call and get u involved. i was mad but was going to let it go. until i called this person to talk to her/ in the phone conversation i was yelling at her because her son caused problems with my husband. she yelled back and the fight was on / i told her if it wasnt for her drug addict son (which he is badly) none of this would have happen. thats when it was over. she screamed at me and said nasty stuff about me cleaning up my own back yard before i ever call her kids bad names. they are 42 years old the kid. now she sent an email and told me never to call her or contact her in any way. just tell me who is the one that is suppose to be mad here. she talked about me. her son told me. i called him a druggie and now this person my sister and i will never talk again. we both hold grudges badly. she hasnt talked to my brother in 30 yr. because of her 2 kids. what would you do.?????????

Anyone know the name of the artist that sings the song "Mouth"? If you are familiar with the lyrics or not heres a few to try and help jog your memory:
When i kiss your mouth, I wanna taste it,
Turn you upside down, dont wanna waste it.

I mean without slashing the tire itself, if you just uncap the hose and push away, can the driver charge you?

they headlights have a cloudy, foggy look to them and i am trying to make them look as close as possible to brand new. I have heard that car dealers use something that makes headlights look brand new again.

My son is 15 yrs old and he is sort of interested in girls and I've told him that girls don't like smelly boys. I've also asked him if he "feels better" being clean. He says it doesn't make a difference to him. I don't understand this and I don't know what else to do. Help!

(Sometimes he smells so bad that I can't stand having him in the car with me unless the windows are rolled down. I have a very sensative nose!)

I love the smells of so many flowers, it's hard to narrow it down! :) But if I had to pick just a few, here are my favorites -- in alphabetical order, since I can't decide which is #1...

Carnation, citrus blossoms, four o'clock, freesia, honeysuckle, osmanthus (a.k.a. "sweet olive"), peach/plum blossoms, rose, sweetpea and violet.

What are YOUR faves? :)

I promise you the USA will go down in shame just like we did in Vietnam. Soon all the USA troops will eat crow and drink sour milk.

This seems to be the dominant terminology today.
It replaces the old "First world"/"Third World" terminology, which now seems to be polictically correct.

But I wonder if "developed" and "developing" are really the correct words. "Developed" implies that those countries have already developed and that they have no more developing to do, when in reality all societies and countries are constantly in flux and changing and developing in some way or another.

Developing can also be something of a misnomer, since many of the countries that fall in this category, may not actually be doing much "developing", at least in the Western sense of the word (i.e. "economic development")

And I honestly am not convinced that economic development is always the best course for a country. It is not sustainable. We can't keep increasing production and consumption with the limited resources on this earth.

So if developing/developed doesn't work, what do you think is a better way to describe the world?

about to be electrocuted in the electric chair. The Englishman got in the chair and the warden asked him:

"Do you want a priest?"
"No"
"Cigarette?"
"No."
"Any last words?"
"No."

He threw the switch and nothing happened. The warden said:

"We can only throw the switch once, you're free to go."
The Englishman ran away, excited. Then the Frenchman got in ther chair, and the same thing happened.

"Do you want a priest?"
"No."
"A cigarette?"
"No."
"Any last words?"
"No."

He threw the switch, nothing happened, and he was free to go. Then the Pollack came in, but he was smiling. The warden said:

"Do you want a priest?"
"No."
"Do you want a cigarette?"
"No."
"Do you have any last words?"
"Ha ha ha! Yeah, the chair is unplugged!"

I'm only 4'11, so it's really hard for me to take full body shots. :x
I've seen people do it before, but..
I don't even know.
I've tried it before, and it just doesn't work.

I hope this is in the right section?

Some of these ridiculus questions that apparently set out to prove this or that seem to assume that God is subject to what some group thinks He is or thinks. Backwards thinking is it not.??

I was reading how they used Martian soil from meteriotes to grow potatoes and asparagas. They grew fine. I know that there is no water on Mars, but what about the ice caps?
