Education & Reference - 14 August 2006

I am on the bus, I am in the car. I am on the train , I am in the mall.

Someone told me that when you can stand up straight, like on an bus. it should be 'on' when you can not it should be 'in' ..

Can anybody confirm this. or give a better explanation.. or tell me why this is true or not ..

THANKS

I use facebook, and I have gotten random guys message me desiring to meet me because they saw my profile picture. (Talk about shallow!!) We talk through messages on facebook, and they do go to my university. How ridiculous would it be to actually meet up with them, given that I am not interested in them at all sexually? Is it possible to just pursue "friendships" from it or is that stupid?

President George W Bush has made it clear that he reads the Bible, prays to God, and that God told him to invade Iraq. Very recently he referred to the USA’s war against terror as a war against Islamic Fascists. The other side, the Islamic Fascists, of course refer to G W Bush and the USA as Christian Infidel Dogs and so the Holy War of Words go on, like good Christians at war against the Axis of Evil.

The above is quite mild to all the evil religious words being thrown by each side, but of course, it doesn’t stop there does it. The same sides, Christianity and Islam, are physically at war with each other, murdering innocent men, women and children in the process.

Humanity has a horrific track record of atrocities and killing caused by religion, and this war seems to be no different, just another Holy War in the name of religion, inflicting it’s madness once again onto humanity. Why is religion so evil?

This is in continuation to my previous question. Thanks for all the help guys (both of you) who answered it.

1)I forgot to mention that I'm an Indian student, and I've already secured a job here at the Engineering Research Center of a leading carmaker. I've got 1540 in my GRE and 293 on my TOEFL, and a GPA of lik 3.8/4.0. Just wanted to know if it makes more sense to work for a couple of years and then app to colleges (the interdisciplinary program at Umich Ann Arbor requires 18 months full time work ex as a prerequisite), or should I just straightaway apply for next fall (2007) itself when I'll be completing my undergrad here in India.
2) Do students with relevant industry experience get better intern/coop offers and fellowships/assistantships?
3)Also how good are schools like RWTH Aachen in Germany which offer MS in Automotive Engg. too? Are schools in the US better?
4)I ultimately want to do an MBA after a few years of work and get into mgt in the auto industry

So I'm a fourteen year old girl. I have been homeschooling for the past two years and past two years only. I'm not "ugly", but I'm sort of chubby which IS a turnoff.

The main problem is, because I don't see much guys anymore, I crush on almost every guy I see for more than two days if he is even decent looking. This is driving me crazy, because I have been crushing on the most unfavorable people; a wannabe gangster, an arrogant guy who doesn't know I exist, etc. How should I solve this problem? Only if I saw more guys my age around I'd feel more comfortable with the ones I seldom see. Please HELP!
