Ron Paul is the only one that stands out so far - but I don't think he has a chance of getting elected.

Far too intelligent for the majority of Americans.

When I was growing up (in the '80s), I grew up with the phrase Oriental when talking about my nationality. I was talking to a Chinese man (he is in his early 20s) last year and he was offended when I said something about me being an Oriental and he put up a big stink, which I found amusing. And then recently, on here, I read someone making a point about the term Oriental. I do not care whether I am classified as Asian or Oriental...neither offends me because I don't really care about being politically correct.

What is the big deal about being called an Asian or an Oriental besides what you hear (maybe) from other people/media telling you that it's better to be called an Asian? I mean, did you grow up with some negativity surrounding the term Oriental? Is it a personal dislike for that word when talking about your nationality?

i am 22 weeks pregnant. my parents live in india and my mom wants to come and stay with me when i have the baby. we would also love it for her to be here but flying them here would cost us about $10,000, which we cant afford right now. but if they to pay it would be some 400,000 in their money and thats like their lifetime savings gone down the drain.
now i am really afraid to tell my mom that it is not a good idea
and i dont want them to spend that much money on their own. if they are coming i feel that i should pay for their visit.
but i am afraid saying so would surely hurt her feelings because she really wants to come.
so i dont know what to do.. is it possible to manage alone with my husband ? what did you guys do ? and how do i talk about this to my mom ?
help me out please.

But meanwhile Muslims across the Middle East are planning to gain nuclear power so they can usher in the end of the world by fire and total destruction.

So my question remains.

Why do most unbelievers condemn Christians for wanting their beautiful messiah to restore peace on earth?...

but it's perfectly ok for muslims to want to blow up the world with as many nuclear bombs as they can handle?

I'm just wondering why Christianity is always discussed more than any other religion on the face of the earth.

Muslims are using their small children as suicide bombers in the middle east, but you unbelievers criticize Christians for coming to your front door to expose you to the savior of man?

You unbelievers don't make any logical sense.

God Bless!

Exponential functions are used to calculate continuously compounding interest rates.

For example, pretend a bank is offering 12% interest, compounding annually.

You would make 12% that year.

If it is compounding monthly, you'd make effectively 1.01^12 = 12.68%

If it is compounding daily, you'd make effectively 1.000328^365 = 12.747%

If you've had calculus, you know about infinite series. If you break the compounding periods down into infinity, to where it is "continuously compounding", it converges to e^r*t. So in our above example, e^.12 = 12.7497%.

This concept is used in a lot of financial markets for asset pricing, etc.

e is also used a lot in statistics.
