I knew all along that the sun does not move. But in Qur'an 36:38-40 it says "And the sun runs unto a resting place.....each (meaning the sun and the moon (just) swims along in (its own) orbit."

Well, here is a few question that keeps echoing in my mind each time a watch anime(most of it are in Japanese right?) or talked about learning Japanese Language togather becoz we really would like to learn Japanese.. The question are...

1. Is it true that Japanese is the hardest language to learn?
2. Which one is better, book or online learning?
3. Do anime lover doesn't really will interest in learning Japanese?
4. Any online Japanese language web page which is really effective around?
5. What is the best way to memorize kana(the way to write and pronounce it the correct way)?
6. Do Japanese really use Japanese?
7. What's the different between learning from a language teacher and learning by yourself?
8. Most of the book i found sounds so polite. Why?
9. Is there any books which could be found worldwide and shows us how to communicate casually(not so polite and formal looking)?

... I think that's all. Onagaishimasu!

How do you know when to cut back on your kids christmas gifts? I have a 28 year old Daughter, married with children, a 22 year old son in college, and a 16 year old son. My husband and I just purchased our first home, so money is kinda tight, and we wanted to cut back on christmas, but I really don't know what is an appropriate amount to spend on the kids. How do you decide how much is appropriate?

Have you ever noticed how some Christmas cards depict scenes of shoppers all bundled up and braving blizzard like conditions to do their Christmas shopping? What's with that, anyway? Everybody knows that most of the stores would be closed under conditions such as that! C'mon, get real.

Its sounds like the bible is asking us to abandon our parents for our spouse. Why would the bible ask us to do this?
Whats wrong with loving your parents when you get married? Aren't they still family?

I've heard this term "butterfly" in more than one movie in which guys called two women their "butterfly". I'd like to know what it means in this context. Thanks for your answers.
