I just moved to Maryland and live right on a river, with lots of creeks nearby. At the local kayak store they recommended a recreational kayak, the Pungo 120, but I'm looking for some unbiased opinions. Once I'm comfortable in the kayak, I'd like to take my dog (35 lb mixed breed) with me - she's got a life jacket and has been canoing many times, so I know she'd love this - so any additional advice on kayaking with a dog, or kayaks good for human plus dog, would be appreciated.

Since it's clear the Army brass set out to make a solid PR stunt out of Pat Tillman's horrible death, I would bet they wish he would have been black to really sell it. What do you think?

I live in a small town that is very religious. There is literally a church for every 5 people.

I am an atheist although I have respect for other people's beliefs. I know that my son will be influenced and hear about god often.

What do I say when he asks me about god and what I think? I don't want to say anything that will make him think that Christians are bad, or that we should hate them.

The main thing is that I want him to think for himself. I don't care if he grows up and wants to be a priest or a minister, as long as he made that decision for himself. But if he chooses to not believe in god I am afriad that he will make pretend that he does just to fit in with others.

I don't necessarily want him to believe exactly what I believe, I want him to think for himself and ask questions.

What are good ways to explain other religions to him? What are good ways to explain to him that I do not believe in god?

All I want is for him to be a good person. That is all I ask.

Although India's Muslims are ONLY 12% of the Indian population, they constitute the world's second largest muslim population. A reality which is even more saddening when one considers the fact that they were all supposed to leave India in 1947 and that India should theoretically not have a single Muslim living there.

At the rate that they are breeding, estimates indicate that by 2050 they shall possibly be 50% of the Indian population. This will have catastrophic consequences for India's already depleted and underdeveloped resources, infrastructure. But more importantly it shall cause great social and religious conflict, a civil war with another masses of killings and may even possibly bring about another partition of the country.

Do you agree with me that it is about time the Indian government starts to introduce incentives for Muslims to emigrate from India, in an endeavour to preserve Hindu demographic predominance and to preclude any possible future genocides???

Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash.

Be water my friend.

If you don't smoke, and someone asks you whether you mind if they do, what do you say? I always end up being polite and telling them that it's OK, only to regret it 5 seconds later when they are virtually blowing smoke up my nose.

I usually know that there will be a bad atmosphere if I say no, and it's hard to tell a friend or family member that they can't smoke.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Religious fundamentalists are united by fear. Whether they are Christian, Muslim, or Jew, fear is the common denominator. They fear change, modernization and loss of influence. They fear that the young will abandon the churches, mosques and synagogues for physical and material gratification. They fear the influence of mass media and its ability to subvert the young with song, dance, fashion, alcohol, drugs, sex and freedom. They especially fear education if it undermines the teachings of their religion. They fear a future they can’t control, or even comprehend.

Perhaps it’s not surprising to realize that it is fear that also connects the myriad of nationalist, separatist and independence movements who also engage in political violence. Although experts, academics and analysts hypothesize about a multitude of causal effects that lead to violence and terrorism, fear is the underlying.

If one is given, sin^2x one can change that into (1-cos^2x). If one is given sin^4x one can change that into (1-cos^2x)^2. So if one was given sin^5x, would one change that into (1-cos^2x)^5/2...if not plz explain what one must do to change sin^5x into the (1-cos^2x) form. Therefore, what would be the general rule?
