Who else thinks people are tainted by money? Im thinking specificly of J.K. Rowling, Christina Agulara, Fred Durst,
I met J.K. Rowling once and frankly I was furious that i extended my hand for her to shake it in a room of only 30 people and she wouldnt take it and gave me the "im better then you" look. A year or so ago on MTV I saw Christina Agulara blow off 2 fans who met her in an alley...Christina, her body guard and the two guys were the only ones there and she "sicked" her body gurad on them.
Why does society promote such behavior and why do we allow this? If I work at a restaurant and a customer is rude to me for no reason why should I have to take it? If I saw them in the street I wouldnt dare allow them to talk or act like that to me. What are your opinions?

Magnesium burns brightly in oxygen to give magnesium oxide, which contains the ions mg2+ and 02- . The formation of both these ions from their elements is strongly endothermic. Why, therefore, should magnesium combine with oxygen?

Hello everyone:)

I am 22 years old, and just had a strabismus surgery done on two muscles on my right eye two days ago. The doctor said it went fine - it was strictly cosmetical surgery, and the eye seems to be moving same as the left eye now. Which is good!

However, I am worried about the recovery now. My eye is red, and it's leaky all the time, but that's normal, I guess. It also hurts from time to time - nothing I can't stand, though. Here's the thing I'm worried about - my operated eye is swollen!!! Is that usual? Does that happen often? Cause I can deal with the redness, but it just looks really bad like this, and it gets me really worried.

And if it's happened to some of you - what do I do to make it go away? I would really want my eye to look as normal as it can (red's fine, at least not swollen) by Wednesday, which is two days from now.

Thank you so much in advance!

Sneska

According to the Bible
Matthew 27:46 (King James Version)

"And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"

The Bible also says in

John 10:30 (King James Version)

"I and my Father are one."

If Jesus is God why is he saying God has forsaken him? Does not seem very logical to me.

Background info. - cousin - 14/female/Canada.
Recently my cousin came to stay with us in Sheffield for the summer. 7 days ago, a few of us went to London for a short trip, including me and my cousin. We spent quite a lot of time outside. We returned to Sheffield 2 days later and about a day after that my cousin fell ill. She has been feeling ill ever since (past 4 days or so).

Her symptoms:
Her first symptom was a fever. The fever tends to vary in severity - rises and goes down daily. She has reddish pimples over her head, face, neck and stomach. Also, they are purulent (contain pus). It feels quite sticky and itchy over the areas with pimples. She has swollen glands behind her ears. She experiences some pain when she swallows. She has loss of appetite. It hurts when breathing. She has pain in her right side of her body, especially in hips, but this is probably due to her sleeping position. She has only taken Tylenol for her symptoms (it's like paracetamol).

What's happening?

I've taken consideration of Turkish sides' arguments. I want to have the comments of the other side.

Judging by the answers given in the Turkish section, I take it that, formally and officially due to unanimous consensus, Armenians are accused as provocative inventors of their Genocide, a fact which they back it up with a lot of evidence.
So far,only the Turkish side has come up with questionable evidence and facts of the event.
I'd like to hear the other side with hard evidence. No hearsay please!

I will appreciate no comments or thumbs by Greek\Turkish members of Answers.I want to judge after having heard and examine both sides.And so you should do.

Seems like it is easier to go after a dream, when it is on the other side of a lottery ticket. But it is much harder when it is on the other side of determination, and commitment, and action.

What are your dreams and are you waiting to win the lottery, or are you working towards, and honoring them Daily?

I started weaning my kittens at four weeks, starting them off with KPR and KPR Second Step, we gradually started reducing the amount of formula, but it didn't really get a chance to get really oatmeal-ish as it was supposed to before the kittens started eating their mom's food. They have sharp little teeth and they chew the dry cat food well, and they use the littler box regularly without problem, but it really only took them two weeks and their kitten mush stuff really didn't even get that thick before they went to the dry cat food. I'm just concerned as to whether or not it's gone too fast and as normally as it should.

We've all heard about people having guts or balls. But do you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, the definition for each is listed below...

GUTS - is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: "Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?"

BALLS - is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the butt and having the balls to say: "You're next."

I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions. Medically speaking, there is no difference in the outcome since both ultimately result in death
