Is there such a thing as a "real life" dictionary at the college/adult level? Words that you might hear while watching movies, or as an adult while at work. To the vast majority of adults, these words are not difficult, but a teenager is less likely to know them. Can anyone recommend where to look? I am 26, I went to high school but I did not go to college. Just the other day I had to look up "condescending" because I didn't know the definition of it!! (Yet, the vast majority of adults would...)

Seems to me Sam mentioned there was an "Adam" away somewhere.
And if they could pull Anthony out of nowhere, maybe there's a third Lopez-Fitzgerald son. Anyone remember any characters that are "away"?

From Plato, to Descartes, and even Ayn Rand, many philosophers have championed the power of reason as the primary conduit of human knowledge. What is your definition of "reason?"

I understand they devalued their currency a number of years ago. Are things stable right now?

The whole thing is killing. Why doesn't god follow his own rules on the whole "no killing" thing?

There's this older boy who goes to my school. The day we met we just totally clicked and we were best friends almost immediately for like a month. Literally

We did almost everything together and there was rarely a time we were apart if we weren't in class. everyone thought we liked each other. then one day he just stopped talking to me and wouldn't look me in the eye.

I asked him if he was mad, if he was avoiding me, and he said no.
I also mentioned that we haven't talked in a long time, then he said, "yes i did, you said hi to me, and I waved yesterday" o_O
We had a few awkward 2 second conversations after that, whereas before we could have hour long convos without a problem. We just ignore each other now. Sometimes I see him in the hallway, and it's like he's making efforts to ignore me.

That was 5 months ago, and I still get mad whenever I think about it, because I have no idea why he just blew me off like that.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on in this guy's brain?

What do you think? I heard this the other day and don't know enough about Fatima to form an opinion. Maybe one of the many super smart and helpful Yahoo Answers participants can shed some light on this. Why would someone levy this complaint? Based on what? What details?

of billions of your tax dollars in Iraq? Where is your outrage for the millions of illegals in our country draining our resources? Where is Osama Bin Laden? You know, the guy who our President thinks is no longer important while he fights his global war on terror while our borders are a joke? Well, where is the outrage?

Generally when an institution sells a stock or bond short, the balance of that sale is invested in an interest-bearing account and rebated back to the short seller as a "short rebate." My current broker, Fidelity, does not offer short rebates to its customers. Do any of the brokers that give accounts to individuals offer short rebates?
