I just wanted to know what the qulifications were, or what it is that makes you a professional guitarist. A guy that owns a guitar shop near me says he was a pro guitarist since he was 13.

Who decides if your a professional?

i really dont have a hero...and i need one for this school project. (this project excludes calling you family heros) anyway... we are talking about how people use the term hero too lightly and its dulling down the definition of a real hero etc...i can write the paper myself but one of the questions is "who is your hero" and i dont have one....who are your heros (besides family) or who can i choose as a hero so i can get this damn project done

I play the flute and have been looking into getting an open key flute to replace my first flute. I love the old thing, but it's a terrible instrument to play, and I was trained on open key. I've been playing a closed key flute for a few months now (my mom got it from a pawn shop) and love it, but can anyone suggest a good flute brand to buy? I need something that can survive marching season and produce a great sound, but isn't terribly expensive. Any suggestions?

Nintendo has Mario. Sega has Sonic. Microsoft has Halo. Playstation 1 has Crash.

Now comes Playstation 2. Who is Playstation 2's mascot? Crash Bandicoot? No, because he transported to Nintendo and Microsoft. That traitor! Then again, Sonic transported to Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony, so therefore, if Crash Bandicoot isn't Sony's mascot because he went onto different consoles, then that would mean Sonic isn't Sega's mascot anymore either because he did the same, right? Those traitors! Then again, Sega still makes Sonic, and Sony no longer makes Crash, after Crash Team Racing. Can't be Metal Gear Solid because he stuck his nose into the Nintendo Gamecube.

We're left with...

Jak and Daxter (Same developers who made Crash Bandicoot, who was the PS1's mascot. However, the games weren't nearly as good or popular)
Ratchet and Clank (Spyro's new form. They were both descent)
Sly Cooper (Get the **** out of here)

So who shall be the mascot of PS2, and PS3 for that matter.

I'm sure you've heard this question multiple times, but please bear with me: Does he like me?
This one guy and I have texted for months every day, talked on the phone and gone out on what would technically be called a date. But when I asked him if he liked me, he replied no, and ever since then has been updating me on who he likes. I've seen him flirt with these girls too (he's not a player). We still talk every night on the phone, and he'll flirt with me. Because I'm getting such mixed messages, I'm confused. Help?

where the terrorist train(Pakistan) and those that fund them(Saudi Arabia)?

That's where I would focus the the war, not on lining the pockets of oilmen and defense contractors in Iraq.

Doesn't thinking about evolution just make the world so much more complex and amazing? What is wrong with recognizing that?

bush said because 'they hate our way of life, and our freedoms' ... thats the biggest load of bull ever. why can't ppl of the world understand and see the facts ....

first of all i don't think the terrorists hate americans .. i think they hate american policies and the american government. not the people. there is a HUGE difference.

american government, secret intelligencies (CIA) etc. have been involved in numerous amounts of operations in other countries, sticking their noses in where they don't belong, all on the pretext that they are offering humanitary aid. yeah sure they do that, but they also have other agendas.... hmm... like toppling governments that don't see eye to eye with them.

american government also supports israel by giving them american tax-payer money ... and military weapons, and industrial machines that are used to demolish the homes of palestinians.

it has nothing to do with way of life and freedoms .. but everything to do with being two-faced, having double standards and agendas, lying to the masses, etc. etc. etc. -- too many to list.

my proposal is this, if the american govt never made any bases in saudi .. or kuwait .. or anywhere in the middle east ... do u think the 'terrorists' al qaida or anyone else would be out to kill the 'american infidels' ???? NOPE ...

and if england and the UN never allowed the jews to come to Palestine ... there would be NO 'suicide bombings' over there either .... so the actions are all reactionary .... they were caused by an external catalyst .... whether or not they are reacting in a sane way or not .. is not for me to decide .. they are in their situations .. and nobody can judge them unless they are in their shoes. -- when a father sees his home demolished , his baby with bullets in her body ... or his wife or daughter being murdered or raped .... obviously he'll go crazy ... and violence begets violence ...... so he'll react .. the only way he knows how.

its not a religious problem .. its a social problem .. a political one.

Is it that they are just looking to antagonize Christians? When we are asking a religious question we aren't seeking answers from those who know nothing about Christianity. Don't you believe that they should answer questions from other atheists not Christians?
