I have asked a number of questions and have had a number of jerks not follow the rules I set for the questions IE only giving them certain choices and asking certain people to pass the question etc. Why do they ignore an askers rules he or she sets for their questions? Are they just gaming for points or just wanting to be jerks? I have seen this not only on my question but other question where people have set rules to their questions.

Also, is there a winking face for female avatars? I don't think there is; why not?

Why do so many male avatars have long hair? I don't see that many guys with long hair in real life these days. Maybe it's just the population of people who use this site.

Yes, I'm bored...and I'm procrastinating.

How the hell can these people do this

HOUSTON (AP) - In a dramatic turnaround from her first murder trial, Andrea Yates was found not guilty by reason of insanity Wednesday in the drowning of her children in the bathtub.

The 42-year-old woman will be committed to a state mental hospital and held until she is no longer deemed a threat. If she had been convicted of murder, she would have been sentenced to life in prison.

Yates stared wide-eyed as the verdict was read, then bowed her head and wept quietly. Her relatives also shed tears, and the children's father, Rusty Yates, muttered, "Wow!" as he, too, cried.

Four years ago, another jury convicted Yates of murder, rejecting claims that she was so psychotic she thought she was saving her the souls of her five children by killing them. An appeals court overturned the convictions because of erroneous testimony from a prosecution witness.

Yates' chief attorney, George Parnham, called the verdict this time a "watershed event in the treatment of mental illness."

Wendell Odom, another of Yates' attorneys, suggested that attitudes have changed since the first trial: "Five years ago there were a lot of people who could not get past the anger of what happened."

Yates' 2002 conviction triggered debate over whether Texas' legal standard for mental illness was too rigid, whether the courts treated postpartum depression seriously enough, and whether a mother who kills could ever find sympathy and understanding in a tough-on-crime state like Texas.

Yates drowned 6-month-old Mary, 2-year-old Luke, 3-year-old Paul, 5-year-old John and 7-year-old Noah in their Houston-area home in June 2001. Her attorneys said she suffered from severe postpartum psychosis and, in a delusional state, believed that Satan was inside her and that killing the youngsters would save them from hell.

"The jury looked past what happened and looked at why it happened," Rusty Yates, who divorced his wife last year, said outside the courthouse. "Yes, she was psychotic. That's the whole truth."

Prosecutors had maintained that Yates failed to meet the state's definition of insanity: that she was so severely mentally ill that she did not know her actions were wrong.

"I'm very disappointed," prosecutor Kaylynn Williford said. "For five years, we've tried to seek justice for these children."

Yates will be sent to Vernon State Mental Hospital, a prison-like maximum-security facility encircled by a 17-foot fence and guard towers. Experts say it can take decades before psychiatrists decide that a patient is healthy enough to be released, and even then a judge can reject those findings.

The jury, split evenly between men and women, deliberated for about 13 hours over three days. The jurors had not been told that Yates would be committed to a mental institution if found not guilty.

Yates did not testify. Her lawyers presented much of the same evidence as in the first trial, including half a dozen psychiatrists who testified that Yates was insane.

During a videotaped 2001 jail interview, Yates told a psychiatrist that her children had not been progressing normally because she was a bad mother, and that she killed them because "in their innocence, they would go to heaven."

The jury was told about Yates' two hospitalizations after two suicide attempts in 1999, and about her stays in a mental hospital a few months before the drownings.

But prosecution witness Dr. Michael Welner, a forensic psychiatrist, testified that Yates killed the youngsters because she felt overwhelmed and inadequate as a mother, not to save their souls. He said that it was not until a day after the killings that she talked about Satan and saving her children from hell.

Welner also said Yates showed that she knew her actions were wrong by waiting until her husband left for work to kill them, covering the bodies with a sheet and calling 911 soon after the crime.

Yates' 2002 conviction was overturned after Dr. Park Dietz, a forensic psychiatrist, told the jury that before the drownings, NBC ran a "Law & Order" episode about a woman who was acquitted by reason of insanity after drowning her children. It was later learned that no such episode existed.

this is for first thing i've written for somebody else so i want it to sound good so constructive critisism is very much appreciated. and i know a few words might be spelled wrong.


the time we shared has come and past
the memories begin to fade,nothing seems to last
people come then say goodbye
even starts fall from the sky
but in my heart you will always stay
through years apart and miles away
cuz there is one thing that will never end
and thats the love of a true friend
faults we have and mistakes we've made
but the bond we shared shall never fade
the only mistake to which i fear
is for you to feel alone and forget that i am here
so through broken hearts and lonely nights
through times of luaghter or drunken fights
here for you i will forever stay
never further than a phone call away

I mean, Jesus Christ, you're trying to analyze and detail me on how to launch vomit in a fashion that will result in the least catastropic conclusion. I admire you serious-answer-people, yet I'm confuzzled by your inability to be ridiculus to the ridiculum called life.

Did anyone ever tell you,
just how special you are?
That your smile is brighter
than all the stars.

Did anyone ever tell you
how you make others feel?
How you give them a friendship
that hardly seems real.

Did anyone ever tell you
many times, when they were sad
your e-mail made them smile a bit
in fact it made, them glad?

For the time you spend sending things,
and sharing what you find,
you make me so happy,
you're a true friend of mine.

Did anyone ever tell you
how much it means when they're blue,
that the only thing that comforts them
is the friend they find in you.

I believe that without a friend you are
missing out on a very important part of life...

I'm Glad We're Friends

What if you were hypnotized into only seeing the inner beauty of the opposite sex...and you hook up with someone of whom you thought was beautiful inside and out, but when you fall in love with him or her, you see the real person, but s/he is not who you thought she would look like. What would you do?

1) There's an empty hope that lingers with ever breath I take/
A quiet desperation that grows beneath a lake/
This fear is all around me holding every limb down/
It's a subtle paranoia that feeds off every sound/
I am anchored to this ocean where I'll die in liquid tears/
If I don't come up for air in time I'll surely disappear


2) When water flows in an empty bay/
After the moon rises and the people lay/
The mist sprays gently onto the rocks/
While the devil sits on the old wooden dock/
Many people say that he is the one/
Who will over take the setting sun/
But I am inclined to disagree/
For that battle will be between the devil and me
