I'm so tired of everyone saying how much they hate everyone else's beliefs. What do you LOVE about YOUR beliefs?

Added bonus for:

What do you LOVE about other's beliefs?
What do you ADMIRE about beliefs you disagree with?
What beliefs do you not understand?

Note: I include Athiest beliefs in this- so don't say "I don't believe in anything"

I'm sitting here watching this show on discovery channel about planets. They're talking about neptune having wind speeds up to 1,000 mph. They also said that if you put a windmill (like those used to generate energy today) in the atmosphere of the 1,000 mph wind, the windmill may not even move, or it could move slowly. How does a windmill not move in 1,000 mph wind?
Also, If Pluto is 2.7 Billion years away from earth, made of completely ice, and Neptune is 2.6 BIllion years away and has wind and water, how does this happen?

My neighbor's teenage son taunts my dog, and of course my dog ends up barking incessantly. The neighbor comes out and hoses my dog with water and my dog runs away. This has happened a couple of times already, and now my dog is afraid of water. We are not on speaking terms with this particular neighbor, so it's very difficult to find a solution to this. Anybody have any ideas? They have been abusive to the point where they have kicked the fence when my dog barks at them, I don't know how to prevent my dog from barking at people who mistreat it either...

I received my AA degree in (Technical Education & Humanities) in the Spring of 2004. Ever since I graduated from a California community college, I've been taking more classes to increase my GPA a little more.

Hopefully, I'll get to that 4 yr. college I've always wanted and that I've set my ambitions on.

Am I considered an Undergraduate?

y = (2x+3)^3 / root4x-7

the root4x-7 = (4x-7)^1/2 i just didnt know how to write it haha

i know you use quotiant rule and chain rule. I get up to this:
= [3(2x+3)^2 (4x-7)^1/2 - 1/2(4x-7)^-1/2 (2x+3)^3 / 4x-7 ] 8
am i on the right track ?
haha thanks =)

I've been searching answers & internet & nothing really sounds like what is going on with my betta. I came home yesterday & he's swimming oddly. It's hard to explain; it's almost like he isn't really using his tail to swim. If he tries to turn, it's like his body will bend in a U shape. It looks very un-natural, & I don't think he's doing it on purpose because he always seems to struggle to make himself straight again.
He's eating as he normally does (which is quite funny because he attacks his food...literally he jumps like he's attacking the food & will come a little out of the water.) He seems to have a harder time righting himself when he gets back into the water, & like I said the U shape his body will go to. His tail fin isn't spread out like it normally is, but he doesn't look discolored to me at all. It's hard to tell because he always had some white near the bottom of his fins but it doesn't look different. I change water regularly, & feed him once a day.

Do you think it would be a good idea to limit a family to 3 children to slow down the over growing population? I mean we hunt animals to keep there population down. Besides we take the animals home away because us humans are growing in numbers and we have to have a place to live.

Years ago, I read a classic "travels in America" account by a grumpy / snarky English writer - early 20th or late 19th century. It may well have been Orwell or Dickens. In his account, the author observes the many undefended factories and cities on the U.S. coast, and has a great throwaway line about how the Royal Navy could blow it all to oblivion in 15 minutes. For the life of me, I can't find this reference, and it is driving me crazy. Help!!

My friend is having a baby girl and she wants to name them after the baby's grandparents. What is a unique but decent sounding name out of Carrie, Mary, and Agnes? A first name will do but a first and middle name would be great. She wants these 3 names to be combined somehow into a pretty little girls name. Please help me! I came up with Agmarie (lol), Camie, Camia, Arynes (like Ari or Ary), and Carrie-anne Magnes....so I need some input on this situation. Thanks a lot!
