Voice rolling is a tactic used by some people to relax the mind and induces a high state of suggestibility. It is done by talking in a monotone, slow pattern (talking to a beat of 45 to 60 beats per minute in a patterned, paced style). Most LDS Conference talks are done using this method. There is no doubt about it.

But do you think that this is intentional? And if so, what could be the ulterior motive - whether good or bad?

Hi!
In Erskine Caldwell's "We Are The Living", in one of the short stories, entitled "The People's Choice", Gus the hero say's to the boy behind the fount in the drug store: "Give me another coke son, with three big squirts of ammonia"
My question is: Why would anyone want ammonia in his coke?
Anybody familiar with such a habit?
Thank you for your answer

This question is for everyone, no matter if you are religous or not.

What unfair stereotypes have you had to deal with both here on Yahoo Answers and in real life about your own belief system?

I think it's pretty sad that some people can't treat others as individuals. Instead they feel the need to make rude generalizations against a group of people.

It has been fashionable to affirm that all religions are beautiful—and all are true. In fact in the Hindu Vedas it says "Truth is one, the sages call it by many names." According to this multicultural form of wisdom, the world's religions are merely different paths up the same mountain. But are they?

(-: Well, I have a new volunteer assignment to translate a script set in a prison. I may need some help this week, but to start with I have two terms I'd like to define.

1. 刑務官 Is this one of many "corrections officers" or is this the big boss (the warden) at the top? Is there a good word in English to use for "corrections officer"? This seems a little too stiff. I read in wiki that they are sometimes called "yard dogs" but I think this slang is too obscure.

2. あんらー別嬪さんやないの～。This is said by a male prisoner who is in jail for being a fake psychic con artist. What's up with this "anra"? Is it a variation of "ara"? Maybe Hoo-boy? Or Christ Almighty? I don't have a good sense about how strong this "anra" is. I also need to check with my translation co-ordinator about how strong the English can be.

I'm thinking of translating the rest as "Ain't you a cutie!"

I'd appreciate any thoughts on the matter. Or links to prison terminology in English. Thanks!

am I right about the fact that psychics are full of it? they are looking for attention and announce they have this "gift" like they are more specail than the rest of us. yes some do have a gift, but NOT from God. Satan has found a way to hold them to him, and keeps it that way. gee, if you were given this gift would you tell him to take it back? I have asked many psychics to tell me something, not one of them ever could. they are ful of it, so you people looking for one dont wast your time, and if I am wrong, show me I am wrong. am I wrong?

Please don’t answer by saying ‘both.’ I’m asking you to make a simple choice between the two and it doesn’t mean that the other will be completely disregarded, just that its lack of comparative importance be acknowledged.
