My ex-wife is pressing for our son to get braces, but the fact is... he doesn't need braces. He has a nice smile with two teeth slightly crooked.

I was told that braces are considered cosmetic and "personal preference" and I dont have to split the cost if I dont want to. That if she wants to get them, she is responsible for the cost. Any truth to this?

I have a friend who's dad has Parkinsons and Mom has the begining stages of Alzhiemers. Yesterday I saw them and my friend was crying. He asked "Why is God doing this" and "When will God take my dad to heaven and let him be perfect again"

I didn't leave him hanging and stayed and talked to him but I am wondering how some of you might have (or already have) handled this.

I think a lot of this person and we are friends, yet he is not aware that I am agnostic.
So how would you handle a situation like this?

In the late 1700s some people wanted democratic rule. Conservative elements of the church pointed to the Bible and said it proved that the king ruled by God's will.

In the mid 1800s some people wanted to end slavery. Conservative elements of the church pointed to the Bible and said it proved that God approved of slavery.

In the early 1900s some people wanted to give women the vote. Conservative elements of the church pointed to the Bible and said it proved that God made women inferior to men.

In the mid 1900s some people wanted to end segregation. Conservative elements of the church pointed to the Bible and said it proved God wanted to keep the races separate.

When you look back at how your parents and grandparents dealt with these things, are you ashamed or proud?

Now some people want to allow gay marriage. Conservative elements of the church are pointing to the Bible and saying it proves God hates homosexuality. Do you think they're right this time around?

Well for one, in my opinion, those who criticize rap should realize that the majority of people who go out and buy rap music now are young white males who live in suburbs.

Now i wonder, during the mid 80s/ early 90s, when blacks were the main ones buying rap music, why did the media give up on criticizing rap until the next century....?

Also, Do any of you rock enthusiasts recall the hippie/ rebel movement that was putting Psychedelic rock/ Hard rock into the mainstream during the 60s and 70s, where many of the lyrics centered around extreme liberalism, sex, and indulging in drugs? Do they realize that rock (and the "free love" movement) was at one time hated in the same since that rap is, only that rap has a race factor to some?

Furthermore, understand that many of the most popular rap songs being played on the radio center only around partying and doing a certain dance ("Lean Wit It," "Crank that Soldier boy")

Remember that next time you put on your mommas AC/DC record.

I am mad that I spent so much $ on Class A mutual funds and want to dump my brokerage firm and start investing the smart way. I have read that equity index funds and no-load mutual funds are the way to go, but I have no idea where to go or which funds to buy. I just want to put my money away in aggressive investments and let the money sit there and reinvest the dividends. I don't want to buy and sell stocks - I would rather put it in diversified funds and just let it grow. I have 30 years to retirement so I want to be as aggressive as possible. Seems like if I ask a financial "expert," they just want to sell you their own products. Is anyone out there a financial expert who can give me objective advice??? HELP! I have a couple of IRAs and about $200K in mutual funds right now. Thank you!!!

I'm a FIlipina, and my Husband is a mutt (1/2Mexican 1/4 Salvadorean 1/4Portugese), yet he has more slanted eyes than eye do, and I am more tan than him cause I swim a lot. Everytime we are walking together people, especially Latinos look at us with shame, and the Asians are more of whatever. I have known my husban for 5 years, and I have studied everyones culture but mine, but there is no where in any text books that states anything about these shameful looks, and glares. Its driving me crazy. ITs not easy to blend it. What should we do? My husband almost snapped at these other couples one time.

I'm starting a fund to free OJ - we all know that he would never hurt a fly and can't be guilty. I found a plastic bottle cap on the street and I'm adding that to my free OJ Fund, anyone else want to help and what would you contribute.

He doesn't even sit on it and needs a diaper to go potty.When we stopped using diaper for 2 days, he used urinate here and there on the carpet and it looks like he still doesn't know when he needs to use tiolet. How can we get him potty trained. We need to send tohim to some preschool by March and we need to get him potty trained before that. Is there any videos or anything that could help him to develop an interest to get potty trained?
