I teach ESL, and I'm struck by the different linguistic representations of natural sounds. In English a dog 'woof, woof's', in Chinese he 'Wa'wa's (which in English is what babies do). I can't begin to imagine other linguistic representations of this simple natural sound. I'm sure dogs are more unilingual than we humans, or not? Duh?

People say that they are Christian (or anything else for that matter) because they are being on the safe side. Is it really possible to be on the safe side when there are multiple religious groups that claim that unless you follow their teachings, you will go to hell? This means that if you take the teachings of all religious groups into consideration, everyone will end up in hell. If you think about it, hell isn't the only thing involved, but that's my general idea.

Doesn't this mean that people who claim to be Christian just to be safe takes only Christian beliefs into consideration and nothing else?

I'm not questioning Christianity. I'm questioning the said excuse.

im brave to ask this cuz i know im gonna get punked, but i have been sleeping with this guy, and he is the only guy ever that i have multiple orgasms with. im in love!!!!!! seriously , i want to be with him only him, and it feels like love!!!! but it always feels like love, i know that i can dedicate myself to him and never will i hurt him or leave him. im just scared that i wont be able to hold up my end of the relationship because im scared, i have always believed that sex is the most important part of a relationship,(i understand that sex is overrated) i just have some doubts and dont want to let him down at all. i always dont feel like im good enough, its my low self esteem i guess, but that should not stop me from finding love, and i deserve love. but i have been down this road before and when i have thought it to be love, it was just sex and the relationships i had, i guess we thought it was love before. ok so i slept with him,i cant live without him, go ahead and punk me.

I am thinking of making a comic book/manga story, and need help thinking of a name for my main character. He is a little buy with brown curly hair and brown eyes and wear simple clothing, he looks very plain, throughout the story as he grows he becomes a strong important warrior like he always dreamed, only he is considered a criminal ... ect i wont explain everything here but anyways i want his name to be short and simple and cute, so that it will be kinda ironic, such as Stimp,Tweech, so it will be kinda ironic like when there is a emotional scene like a bad guy screaming his name for revenge " STIMP!!!"

Any suggestions ?

i have a friend, who is a Christian.

but, she swears like every other word.

And when I tell her that it's "Not Christian like" She basically says that it's no where in the bible that says that swearing is a sin.

And when I ever say "Jesus Christ", she absolutely flips out on me. I agree I shouldn't say it, and i AM working on it. But is that really worse than saying "F*uck you" or "Shut the f*uck up" ror "Sh*it" every other word?

could anyone give me a bible verse, some kind of proof, etc that i could give her that says that swearing is a sin?

I just found out I owe roughly between $9,000 to $11,000 in state and federal income taxes for 2006 from a failed business venture. I checked this with an accountant, and I definitely owe the taxes. The company already filed it's return and my K-1, showing I had the income, so the IRS theoretically knows about it. I'm 24, have no assets or property, already have $2,000 in credit card debt, and have been unemployed for over seven months. I'm starting a job next month that will pay me $1,900 a month, so I was excited to get back on my feet. But I'm worried that paying off the IRS debt in installments will wreck me and ruin any chances I have to save up.

1) If I set up a payment arrangement, how much should I expect to pay per month, and for how long?
2)I haven't filed my return yet (got extension). How long b4 IRS comes after me?
3)What happens (realistically) if I ignore it? Could I claim Chapter 7 to erase it (making only $30,000 a year)?

I really need realistic advice here.Thanks!

Is anyone else completely envious of Katie Holmes? I don't even think Tom is attractive but it just seems like she has the perfect life. I know appearences can be decieving but she is gorgeous, she has a loving caring husband with whom she has the most beautiful daughter and Tom really seems to be great attentive father. Plus she has all the money you could dream of and seems to spend a lot of time shopping.
