Ok, I am talking about The Golden Compass. For some reason, anytime anything comes out depicting magic, witchcraft, or a church that lies and hides the truth, the churches nut out and think that it's going to spark some enormous movement against religion? (Harry Potter, The Da Vinci Code, and now The Golden Compass) I mean, it's sience fiction and the churches just oppose it like the very depthsof hell are rising up against them. What is the big f()ckin deal here? They're just stories. The Golden Compass doesn't depict killing god. The trilogy spawning from the Golden Compass uses symbolism (Just like any other story does) and leads up to the killing of original sin in the last book. It's not bad at all, and in fact, the last book of the trilogy, called "The Amber Spyglass" where people are saying they do "kill god", was nominated for an award because it was a great childrens book. It's just a story christians, You've been here for 2000 years, I don't think a story will kill you.

Today I found out that one of my friends has a crush on the same guy that I like ALOT. For me it is far past being just a "crush". I am in high school, but I have only had strong feelings for three guys in my life so when I am attracted to someone it is really deep. When I fall I fall really hard. I know that I don't need a guy to be happy, but I just know I would be much happier if I had him.

Is it fair to still go after him even though I know that she likes him? She doesn't know how I feel. I know that she would never actually make a move and that she will just continue to admire him from afar. We aren't very close friends, but I don't want her to hate me.

One major difference is that she refers to her feelings as a crush, but mine is WAY past that.

After three weeks, my finger is still bruised and too painful to bend. Is it possible that it is broken bad enough to require surgery or can they even correct it now that I waited so long? It is sort of deformed and it is swollen, but I have had it buddy taped for the whole three weeks.

I want to start a new job soon and I don't really understand taxes...is there a "taxes form for dummies" thing online that could teach me when it comes time to fill out the W4 form? I depend on my family for most of my living expenses, this is just extra money for myself to save for the future. I'm 18, single, no kids, but a dependent. So how do I fill one out?

Thanks!

When he sees me, we'll make eye contact for a second, then he'll look away and start stretching his neck and twisting it around like he has some crick in it or something. We exchange a lot of eye contact, and he has made this weird move more than a few times in my presence. But why the heck does he do this so much when I'm around? I am pretty sure he is attracted to me, I don't know him very well, but he did ask someone about my relationship status.

Do the weird movements have any meaning? No one else has noticed it, am I just reading into things too much?

Eight more innocent Americans have been sacrificed on the altar of political correctness at Omaha's Westroads Mall this week. The real outrage of this crime is that it happened in a "gun free zone" where law-abiding private citizens are disarmed by mall rules and state statute. In the wake of this horrible crime, gun control extremists are already demanding more useless gun control legislation. A prohibition on firearms at Westroads Mall did not stop Robert Hawkins, but it did give him a risk-free environment in which to unleash his rampage. The common link between virtually every mass shooting in recent history in this country is that they all happened in so-called "gun-free zones" such as shopping malls and college campuses. What happened at the Westroads Mall can happen anywhere that political hysteria results in victim disarmament. Blaming firearms for this crime is like blaming cars for drunk driving. The argument doesn't wash. Published reports all suggest that Hawkins was troubled and had emotional problems, and he reportedly had a felony drug conviction on his record which prohibited him from owning firearms. This proves that restrictive gun laws do not prevent determined perpetrators from getting their hands on guns, but they do prevent law-abiding citizens from having the tools to defend themselves. Remember that a similar shooting at Salt Lake City's Trolley Square earlier this year was interrupted by an armed, off-duty police officer from another city. In essence, that man was an armed private citizen. In Tacoma, Washington two years ago, an armed citizen confronted a gunman at the Tacoma Mall and although he was seriously wounded, his intervention brought the shooting to a halt. Gun owners, the gun industry, nor our constitutionally-protected individual right to keep and bear arms are at fault for the Westroads outrage and the gun control lobby knows it. Restrictive laws that disarm honest citizens and provide risk-free environments for criminals and lunatics are at fault, and so are the people responsible for passing such laws and enforcing such prohibitions.
