my opinion is that they're completely different, but there's this certain christian man who is just convinced that harry potter will lead the little children to wicca. he hasn't read any of the books, and probably knows nothing about wicca, or any sort of witchcraft at all, but he claims J. K. used "the same words" as wiccan spells do. I did a little research and it looks like he's full of it, but I myself don't know much about "real" witchcraft (just harry potter). I know J. K. used latin for most spells, do wiccans use latin? any opinions/other facts on this matter would be great. thanks in advance!

Example: Women are commanded to cover their hair while praying but almost no Christian women follow this...why? If the Bible is truly God's word its light would shine for all time and be an example for all mankind. It would never become "outdated"?

The people of the state of California voted to legalize medicinal pot. In my thinking, if "the people have spoken", the law should be enforced.
The federal government however, steps in and disregards the will of the people of the state of California and arrests the individuals who legally are operating dispensaries.

I'm confused, are we free to have our voices heard only when it "pleases" the federal government?

Im finally redecorating and Ive been drooling over my vision of painting it in the medium-dark brown shade of "Copper wire" ......I cant really find a direct link to it but if you go to www.sherwin.com and then quick search copper wire then a color sample comes up. I love this shade of brown so much, and it goes with all of my brightly colored paintings and oranges and purples (mostly all tropical looking with multiple bright colors), and I feel like this brown would be a good base for all of it. Whites and creams really bore me out, but do I have a choice since my room is small?

Honestly the fact that my decorations: paintings, pillowcases, abanicos (spanish handpainted fans) are so colorful is my biggest problem....because any one color (like light orange or light purple) just wouldnt fit right.

p.s - I have one large window in my room and its current color is an ugly dull shade of powder blue that matches NOTHING... not even my style or personality.

OK guys, pictures of Vladimir Putin with his shirt off on a fishing trip are causing quite a stir all over the world. Personally I thought he looked pretty good for a middle aged man although a little flabby and oh so white. I noticed he's wearing a wedding ring on his right hand.
.
1.Any reations to the pics if you've seen them and
2.what's the significance of a man wearing a weddding ring on the right hand if any?

I can't stand people putting little pieces of metal in my mouth, then scraping them on my teeth. Then they take that x-ray with the stick attached to the ring, and I almost gag to death. Then, I get braces, and even more ****'s in my mouth from the orthodontist putting those sucky things on my tongue. Do you have the same problem(s)?

Currently,i'm helping at a hospice,but i feel what i'm doing is little,i plan to do more after my exams,to do something to benefit others,like raising public awareness so that ppl will realise there are alot of unfortunate ppl and will help them by donation,or i want to do something to help all those ppl,i have dreams,and i've been racking my brain but no ideas came up,and i'm only a teenager,with no help and i can't depend on my family for financial issues,i didn't find anyone who have the same passion with me,i've always thought of helping other very unfortunate countries,but i guess i should start small first,that is with my own country,i just want to make unfortunate ppl's lives better,maybe the poor,like giving food or clothes,but from where do I get ppl to help and the sources?and financial aid?i don't even have a license..maybe ppl who have experience in these kind of things can share with me..i really need help,thanks alot.

I know it sounds crazy, but my betta fish is bloated in the chest and there are silver things all around his/her bowl. (I know I'm terrible and dont know if its a male or female!) ...It has always lived alone so there would be no chance of breeding. Do they just randomly lay eggs???

Is it fair to get a ticket for driving without your headlights on? Should you recieve a warning ticket for that? And also, can you get a ticket for driving someone else's car, even if they're sitting next to you, and they have full coverage insurance?

Considering one body to be very heavy with respect to the other, the barycentre lies almost at te centre of the heavy body. So angular momentum being conserved, we can apply kepler's second law, can't we?
If we can, then r^2 * w = constant, so w is a function of r
Now this means that if the trajectory of the small body is eliptical, its angular velocity will change with time < as r will change>. Now for change in angular velocity we need angular acceleration. Angular acceleration will be caused due to some torque acting on the body.
How can gravitational force, being radial, produce a torque?
Where am I going wrong?

OMFG, I've watched it and I must say, it is soo insane, I like it a lot better than UFC.

The knockouts are way too intense. Even the female fightings are pretty intense.

I saw earlier these two guys fighting and one of them kicked this dude twice, once in the chest and another in the head and he fell to the floor, he then got up after that knockout and then the same dude kicked him once, then punched him like 3 times in the head and then he was KNOCKED THE F!!! OUT!!!!!!

I even youtubed this video and wow I must say, I love WCL. Who else watches it?

The phone was ringing and he told my friend i wasnt home and i was all like: "dont hang up im home!!" and he was all like 'f you' and then he punched my face (i have really sensitive skin and it will bruise)and my mom was standing right there in the middle of it and didnt do anything.

SHE NEVER DOES ANYTHING WHEN HE PHYSICALLY HURTS ME!! I dont want to call the police because i have enough to do with them with custody issues but i think he needs anger management?

he always beats on me when his life is going wrong which it always is, and he is way the hell bigger than me and older by only one year. What can i do about this? I'm serious about this, i feel like my life is in danger and there is no one out there to help me. My mom just shrugged it off, thats it and my face is frikkin stinging!!

WHAT CAN I DO? WHO can i get to come see him, im serious he has problems and i dont know why he takes his problems out on me but its horrible its like living in an abusive, negative hell
