For electric forces, similar charges repel and opposites attract. For magnetic forces, similar poles repel and opposites attract.

How come magnetic forces acting between wires, appear to violate this symmetry? How come it is not a violation (only appears to be a violation)?

You were walking behind them, and they dropped a wad of money.

Would you pocket it, or hand it back?

What do you all think? That's my impression. I know that people who made a difference made an impression, and were influential because they were genuine, convinced, and had a better plan, and spoke out.

But it seems to me that the most successful were flexible and allowed for the differences of others, and if not, their ideas weren't popular enough to survive them. Maybe I'm being an optimist. Is it better to be flexible and practical, or rigid and intolerant?

I was wondering from parents of 2 or more children how do I prepare my 1st child for a new baby and how do I make sure he is getting enough attention and doesn't feel he is being replaced by the new baby. He is 16 months now so he would be at least 2 when the next child is born.

It's maybe a silly notion, but I saw the article concerning the ISS tossing out junk; then I had this horrible image in my mind of Pepsi Cola sponsoring "global meteor shower 2007" by heaving a bag of sand into an orbit that'll bring it back into the atmosphere.

Hey, this fairness in the media act....OR WHATEVER it's called today, it inhibits free speech, forces the media to preach what the government dictates. We know that DUH right....

Ok, if it is so inhibitive to one of our fundamental rights, and you defend the rights of free speech so hard, DO YOU SUPPORT IT?

And yes, I do want to hear what all the dems to speak up because I want to know where you stand.

Spare me the banter, let's keep the educated ones answering.

within many of the middle eastern/arab nations..slavery was a part of the culture for more than 2000 years....
with the beginning of islam..in order for the arabs to spread their empire further they mixed and intermarried with the established european empires that existed (byzantine...etc)..and spread themselves as far north as the slavic regions..this includes the levant as well...

slavery wasnt economically based....many of the early slaves (the europeans) were not in fact slaves..they intermarried with these women in order to take control of the region..

the africans on the other hand were used as domestic labor...this is a practice that continued in saudi arabia until the late 1960s..
my question is..within the arab world africans were traditionally in a position of servitude..however there was a huge transition..from using african slave labor to domestic servants from indonesia and many southeast asian countries...why did this happen?

I have a tiffany styled wedding cake with the three square layers, ribbon around each, with a big ribbon on top. I wanted to do some centerpieces similar to that, but I need some ideas. I wanted to incorporate them with floating candle centerpieces, not just by themselves. I have bought all different size boxes and tons of ribbon and wrapping paper, but don't know where to go from there. If someone could give me a visual, I'd appreciate it!

P.S. I want to be different AND still stylish.
Help!!!!!

"Many theists argue that people “choose” to be atheists and, hence, will be held accountable for such a (sinful) choice. But is atheism chosen? No: belief is not an action and cannot be attained by command. Once a person realizes what they must believe beyond all doubt, what other steps do they take in order to have that belief? None, it seems — there is nothing left to do. Thus, there is no extra, identifiable step which we can label the act of “choosing.” "
