in kant's philosophical aspect, how do you act when you act purely from duty? and do you know when you are doing so? not sure, because according to kant, you act on doing something for the duty. you act because it's the right thing to do, not because of the consequence. you do rationalize a lot though. UGH. help.

I have had many good answers so far to the original question but it leads to another one. Having young children in school, I decided to become a sub to be able to be there for my kids. My issue is how many teachers/para/cafe workers I saw screaming at the kids. Even the pre k para would yell at them in a manner that if it were my child, there would be a problem. I have seen several cafe workers scream directly in the ears of some children and others workers not say a thing. This was a daily problem. Should I report these people? It seems that every time that I try to bring to attention these things, it is turned around and I'm the weird outsider. Or I am making a big deal out of something. I tried to use a different behavior and approach and the workers saw that my way was working and they seemed to stop yelling, but I'm gone now and their behavior is probably back to before. Also, every school I worked at had at least 1 screamer. Every parent: have lunch w/kids.

I don't want it running everyday, it takes ages and really slows down my computer, but I've looked in the scheduler section and can only see an option to reschedule the update.
I can't seem to find the option anywhere, is it only with the paid for edition that you can do this?

Cheers! xx

Yet our distress comes from no failure of substance. We are stricken by no plague of locusts. Compared with the perils which our forefathers conquered because they believed and were not afraid, we have still much to be thankful for. Nature still offers her bounty and human efforts have multiplied it. Plenty is at our doorstep, but a generous use of it languishes in the very sight of the supply. Primarily this is because the rulers of the exchange of mankind's goods have failed, through their own stubbornness and their own incompetence, have admitted their failure, and abdicated. Practices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion, rejected by the hearts and minds of men. 4
True they have tried, but their efforts have been cast in the pattern of an outworn tradition. Faced by failure of credit they have proposed only the lending of more money. Stripped of the lure of profit by which to induce our people to follow their false leadership, they have resorted to exhortations, pleading tearfully for restored confidence. They know only the rules of a generation of self-seekers. They have no vision, and when there is no vision the people perish.

Why bother to have adverts to stop people drinking too much and driving over Christmas. Why shouldn´t we just have zero tolerence. If you drive, then don´t drink. I like a drink as much as anyone, perhaps more at times, but I don´t drink and drive. Surely by doing that we wouldn´t need a Christmas no drinking campaign each year.. Some people will still drink & drive, but you would know that one drink would be one drink too many.

There was some piss poor officiating.

It seemed to be mostly against the Lions but there were a couple of bad calls against the Cowboys too.

Before people get all pissed off I'm not a fan of either team, I just though it was a poorly officiated game.

Is HHGTG simply an adaptation of "The Wizard of Oz?"

I can spot many elements that seem parallel. The "yellow brick road" translates into the startship "Heart of Gold", for example.

The Tin Man morphs into "Marvin the Paranoid Android" (He's not looking for a heart, he just want to get replacements for the diodes down his left side...)

Aurthur dent plays Dorothy's role (just wants to go home)

Trillian is the opposite of the scarecrow. She's got a degree in Astrophysics, but can't find a job. (she was "on the dole" on Earth)

Of course Zaphod also plays the part of the scarecrow. He seeks knowkledge about the true ruler of the galaxy.

Does anyone see any other parallels to OZ?

I bought some fancy crackers that sounded yummy,and looked pretty. Nice for entertaining. Later on at home when I read the label,I found out one of the ingrediants are hemp seeds.I am in a profession that is subject to random drug testing.I am now afraid to eat these pretty crackers. A few months ago,a co-worker was fired for flunking a test. She hired a attonrney and got her job back. The rest of us got an E-mail saying we could not use Hemp as a excuse for failing a drug test,and that we were not to use ANY Hemp products. She used the Hemp defense and our employer closed the hole behind her. It was a fluke that I read the packet ingrediants,because the hemp was not in big letters.I cuold of naivly eaten them.This worries me. Please advise

there is just one thing that will make me choose between these two. Browsing internet. Now only ps3 has a browser, and i want to connect to internet using my phone gprs connection using bluetooth or usb cable(in my windows pc i can create a new dialup connection,right click and select the modem as bluetooth and give the phone number(*99#) and make pc connect to dialup gprs connection through bluetooth). Now is it possible to give the settings(dial up number-*99#) in the ps3 to use the gprs connection using bluetooth in the phone and browse in its browser.

And i am planning to buy a flat screen 29" tv(not LCD) for gaming purpose.Will the xbox 360 or ps3(whichever i buy depending upon your recommnedations) work on such tv?

internet browsing is only the deciding point with me, what about wii internet settings, if the ps3 cannot connect to internet using gprs connection on phone, which one shall i get depending on your experience.xbox360,wii,ps3?
thanks in advance

There was an exhibitionist who was taking a trip on an airplane. At the top of the stairs there was a stewardess who was collecting tickets. So when the man got to the top of the stairs, he opened his coat and exposed himself. The stewardess said, "I'm sorry sir. You have to show your ticket here, not your stub."

Ok my husband and I have been married just over 5 years and we have 2 small children. We went for a little over 3 months without sex and last night we started too but it was obvious he didn't want to. He just laid there with his hands behind his head wouldn't move or even touch me! After a few minutes he said "ok, that's enough", rolled over and went to bed. If he wasn't on house arrest I'd think he was having an affair. So what could it be? Maybe he thinks he has some kind of disease or something, maybe he has a bet with someone or maybe he's just disgusted by me. I don't know but I feel so furious, hurt, and humiliated and I don't know what to do! I can't take this rejection any longer!
