C'mon, gents. Get a grip and be a little more subtle about it. They're adults but it may as well be a bunch of middle school kids in there.

ok, the current owner(old man) got the bike from some guy who owed him money and then he died before he did any of the title work. well the bike has been sitting, because the old man who owns it has no idea how to work on it. he told me about the title situation, and said that i could go to the DMV and ask for a bond, and it would cost around 120 bucks, and i'd have to wait a month to see if anyone would go up and claim it, but the man died, so i wouldn't have to worry about that, and i would get the title in my name. is he telling me the truth, i live in North Carolina.

I don't have a dishwasher in my house, so all the dishes in the house are washed by hand. They are usually placed in a dish rack to dry, but all the ones I've had lately either break or rust very easily. I've had plastic, metal, and plastic-covered metal racks and they've all failed me. I haven't gotten a wooden one because most of the designs are too small. Any advice on which brand/type of dish rack to get. Thanks!!

(Unless of course there is a draft which will never happen).

So no matter if you are the most patriotic pro-war hawk or a cut & run anti-war lib, the best that the US military can do in Iraq is contain it, which is basically what Bush #1 & Clinton did.

And the US military can do that w/o having to get blow up by IEDs, w/o having to try & train an inadequate Iraqi army & w/o having to add more US troops on the ground.

So would anyone like to tell me why we need a Bush "surge" that will only just stir up the hornets nest in Iraq even more?

Oh & if your concerned about the terrorists in Iraq, the Iraqi Shiites & Kurds (who hate Al Qaeda as much as you do) will take care of them.

Or would you rather have 20 more Bush type inadequate "surges" over the next 25 years or more?

Let's say I die, and my speculation that there is no afterlife is wrong. I'm standing at the pearly gates, and St. Peter is saying to the person in front of me: "You murdered. You raped children. You tortured your victims. But on your death bed, you accepted Christ as your personal savior. So, you're in!"

Then St. Peter says to me, "You honored your parents. You didn't murder. You didn't steal or commit adultery. But none of that matters because you never accepted Jesus as your personal savior. What say you?"

I say to St. Peter, "I admit my agnosticism, but it's very obvious now that God exists. But in life, God gave me a brain and free will. I used them. I found in using them that life could be lived morally and responsibly without Him. Is that a sin?"

St. Peter then says, "Yes! You might want to prepare for a big fall!"

I've read tons of questions and answers on here about this, and it appears that what I do in life is meaningless unless I accept Christ. True or not?

Guys, do Virgo women intimidate you? I'm a Virgo, moon sign Libra, Gemini rising, and my virgo tendencies don't really show. However, my boyfriend said that Virgo's are uptight and kinda scary to guys because their so picky. He doesn't know I'm a Virgo so haha on him. But I was just wondering if that's the general concensus, or if Justin is just being too Gemini for his own good..

My ex had a son with a man she never married because he was a drug addict. I adopted the boy when he was six and so he is my son and is now 22. Anyways my 11 year old told me since the divorce 1 1/2 years ago they went to meet the father of my adopted son with their mom. He said they went to a hotel to bring him cookies. That does not make sense to me. While we were married my ex who is a nurse got escorted from her office, she was fired because a patient claimed she stole pills from her home although no charges were filed. My ex had a bad back and always was taking oxycontin and other similiar stuff. Am I overreacting or should I be concerned between the hotel visit and my ex getting fired in regard to some drug issues?

Before an election, instead of two years before an election.

Really, the election cycles are getting longer, and longer. As soon as one ends, another begins.

Does the ground feel me stepping on it?
Does the cup feel me drinking from it?
Does the mirror feel my reflection?


If we distinguish the sensation itself with out mind, does the sensation itself still exist?
I am thinking it does because our memories are based on sensations obtained.
