Why do Americans call the last letter of the alphabet "zee"? Everybody else calls it "zed".

Seriously. Is there a point? Or do people just live for pleasure? Hedonism? IS that the point? To have as much fun as possible before you die? To leave the world a better place? To destroy as much as possible? lol.

What's the point in this , and what's specifically YOUR point in life?

Biologically there is no point. We're born by chance and luck, survive, and then eventually die. Our point biologically is just to sustain life and reproduce.

Spiritually, it's to try to reach nirvana or get to places like heaven/hell.

Modern life wise it's to get as much money as possible, and live as much as possible and get the most "toys," and have sex as much as possible, I don't know.

We've hit a strange era where we've modernized everything so much it's Jetsons-ville, minus the flying cars.

Is this a good thing? Well, the technology rocks but we still have ALL the downfalls of primitive humanity. Jealousy, hate, lust, greed, evil, etc. Same problems, newer toys.

Why is it that Americans pronounce Lieutenant as it's spelled, and the rest of the English speaking world pronounces it "Leftenant"?

--"Even a stubborn fool is thought to be wise if he keeps silent. He is considered intelligent if he keeps his lips sealed."

What does this mean to you?

Has anyone heard the famous quote by Ben Franklin, "It is better for you to keep silent and have people think you're stupid, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."?

Any parallels?

Explain.

I'm a junior in college, working towards my bachelor's in Business Administration - Corporate Communication. My undergrad GPA is 3.85, and I haven't taken the LSAT but plan to in the next year and possibly score in the 140-150 range (maybe higher). I've also taken a diverse and challenging range of undergrad courses. However, I'm concerned about admission to law school due to the fact that I have no extracurricular activites due to the fact that I've worked full-time throughout my college career, paying my own tuition and expenses. Do extracurricular activities really factor in that much into the admissions process?

Also, I'm concerned about the course load in law school. Obviously, the work is rigorous - but I've had undergrad law courses and passed with A's. Should I expect the same results (with considerably more effort, of course) in a law school class?

Thanks for any help!

Hey, My dad lost his job at kodak last september, and this has been followed up by several deaths of people that were very close to him. This has caused him great depression, and he gets panic attacks. he has introverted, and is on disability. He has decided that hell be making more money from social security/disability then he would be if he went looking for anothr job, as his kodak skills are not transferrable. This is a double edged sword, as having a job would take his mind off things, make his feel needed, and keep him busy. Instead he sits at home. I know that if he finds a hobby, or decides to get another job, or even just starts to work out, it will be much better then the meds the Dr.s are prescribing...which he says arent helping his panic attacks anyway...After all that my question is this...how can a man 5'11" and about 210 pounds(not bad looking, just beer belly), lose weight and just feel better about himself. Hes never really worked out, so how do i excite him aboutit

Example: she is so pretty,her booty is bigger then mine and yours,look at her boobs they are big. we were watching 101 most hottest bodies and JLO was on there she was just watching the screen like she was crazy or something. i told her i was but im not. i lied to her,i pannic. but after she told me and we talked about it. She started acting different towards me like she may like me or something. How do i ask her do she? I just would like to know.never had a friend that was Bi. i dont want her to be hurt if i ask (if you know what i mean). But i need to know because she always saying something that a girl shouldnt say to another girl. FOR THE RECORD I HAVE NO PREOBLEM WITH HER BEIN BI-SEXUAL. IM NOT BI-SEXUAL IM STRIAGHT

when he is already being paid 250 million? what is wrong with america when people that play a ''game''get paid this much money? I think 20 million for 4 years is enough for any obdy out there that plays a game for a living.....this is still then most ''hard working'' people (3/4 of america) will ever see in a lifetime? Why doesn't the government regulate these people and not the common folks? does anyone else agree?

Thanks for the answers I got for origin of the name India. But still have a doubt. In what way were the original settlers of American continent related to Sindhu river in India. if not, why did they get the name ''Indians''.
What does the word Indians mean when not applied to the country India. I tried to search the encyclopedia as to how the word originated, when origin from word sindhi is kept aside.
And would also like to know why west Indies is called Indies again?

rather have the advice of my friends. I am working on a project. I am painting a couple of old night stands a dresser and a desk for my room. The night stands are laminate but very sturdy. I want them to have a distressed look about them (which they pretty much do, but would rather them look antique instead of being in a house with a clutz and two teenage kids. I know there is some paint you can paint them with and it kind of crackles to let the paint from the underside show so you use two different colors but my question is what do I prime them with? Would that Kilz stuff work or is there something else I should use? I know I could count on you all. All answers dont have to be serious but some would be appreciated. XXXOOO

I live in Montreal, Canada. One of the biggest problems of the image of the city is that too many people smoke here.

For some reason I think they believe it looks cool to smoke. I am not sure about this, so I need the opinion of people who smoke. Why do you smoke? Do you think it looks good? (I know it's an extremely addictive drug, I just want to know if this is another reason).

Personally I think it looks disgusting and smoking in general is quite unclean. I believe this is the opinion of most non-smokers, but I need your opinion as smokers.

Non-smokers are also invited to answer this question. Thanks!
