i mean.. that's not the real question. but the claim "you have to believe in something" really grinds my gears. cause they're not talking about just believing in what we know to be true empirically. they're talking about something "divine" and then yes. why do we have to believe in something? there's a flaw in the logical thinking there. there's only the conclusion. and why does your life need a god to make sense? that's sad, cause if there's none (you gotta admit the possibility), then your life wouldn't have any sense at all. you gotta give your life sense, cause noone is gonna come and give sense to it for you.

My confidence in venturing into science lies in my basic belief that as in science so in Buddhism, understanding the nature of reality is pursued by means of critical investigation: if scientific analysis were conclusively to demonstrate certain claims in Buddhism to be false, then we must accept the findings of science and abandon those claims.

I'm a Catholic, but i consider myself to be very liberal. I Believe sex before marriage is ok if its done out of love, not lust. And I have lots of gay/lesbian/bi friends, and i feel that they should be allowed to get married and be happy.
is that so wrong?

Look at the graph and comment on the sign of D or the discriminant. Form the quadratic equation based on the information provided and find its solution. The points are (-1,0), (0.67,0), and (-0.16,2) which is the vertex.

I am trying to learn to play golf, my husband enjoys it but i am horrible! Anyone have any tips to help me out? I have a full set of clubs, but i tend to stand up to straight when hitting the ball, could they be to short? I am 5'5 if that helps. When i can make contact i can hit fairly well but its the hitting it part i have trouble with, espically on the fairways. Any tips would be helpful, because i really want to learn to play. Thank you in advance!

My boyfriend and I have been together 5 years now. Had a smooth first 3 years. Fourth year we split for 3 months due to his partying and unfaithfulness and my lack of understanding for his need to party . Here we are, going on our 5th year and he is having second thoughts of why he acts the way he does. He tells me I would be a perfect wife. And honestly, I would be. Its like I'm his wife already. We have lived together 3 years now. Have a car and split expenses. I have never pushed marriage, ever. In the last year BOTH of us talked of it. He asked questions of what rings I like...there was evidence and he was about to ask me. BUT didn't. He chickened out. I dont know what his problem is. You would think after 5 years he would be head over heels with me, just as I am for him. We are still in college and have goals, BOTH talk of our goals as a couple, together in the end. He has what he wants...sex, home, a loving companian. I'm scared to be hurt and scared of waiting for the unkown.

I received a plant as a gift. It has large, rubbery green leaves with curvy-serrated leaves (oval shaped, pointed at the end) and long-stemmed clusters of small orange flowers. Does anyone know what sort of plant this might be, and possibly some care guidelines?

Most of the time people take a plea to a misdemeanor (for a LESSER Charge) because they dont want to spend a year traveling back and forth to court spending thousands of dollars on a lawyer and lost wages.
Some people even know the dirty tricks that prosecutor and judges use to get a conviction and sentence regardless of what the jury decides (jury nulification). Defense lawyers want it overwith quickly because felonies is where the real money is, and theyre ussually handling 3, 4 or more cases at the same time. How do you expect a single individual go up against the power of the DA office with their million dollar budget and vested interest in seeing you lose and have a chance?
