Both travelling at, say, 25 mph?

Clearly the Mini would hurt less and do less damage, but getting hit by the ambulance, whilst a lot weightier, would mean paramedics were immediately on the scene...

Hi, can anyone tell me where the expression, *Hair of the Dog* came from? I know it relates to having a very small short sharp shock of alcohol the next morning when suffering a hang-over to help ease the discomfort,.. but how did the expression come to be?

I've noticed that when (especially young) people insult eachother, they begin to insult the other person's mother. But why? That's stupid, since the other person probably doesn't even know their mother, and she has nothing to do with their little dispute. Why don't they insult their father, instead?

I've lived in Southern California for 20 years. I'll be moving to Abbeville, LA in a couple of months - not particularly because I want to, but to stay close to family who's also moving there. I've heard some things about the state that have me a bit worried, like racism and the hurricanes. I'd like some information from some people who know the area to let me know what exactly I'm getting myself into.

People are appauled if they allow a few seconds of nudity on TV (not even something sexual), but they allow all sorts of violence. They rate movies that would otherwise be G rated as R just because of a little nudity. But a PG-13 movie they can say f*ck and show all sorts of violence.

The way i see it, its just someones body. Its just really stupid. Everyone has a bady and nudity DOES NOT equal sexuality. Parents think that if a child sees nudity they will want to have sex, but do not seem to think that them hearing tons of swearing will not make them want to swear. I'd rather have a child see nudity, a natural thing, than see someone shooting someone and calling a woman a ***** on TV.

Who agrees with me?

This is worth giving up five points! Some one keeps bleeping out my answers about alcohol, and I heard today that 3 out of 5 people have a problem with drinking! It has ruined so many families, does anyone else think it should be banned like smoking? Come on and tell the truth! What do you think?

Does money make someone more attractive? Just on the physical sense I mean. They could be the ugliest person in the world, but if that person asked you out and gave you gifts (expensive in nature) and drove a nice "luxury" car or modeled car, would you ask them out?

...or go with the cute but gravely poor man.

Both are nice people.

Not really, there is nothing I want to do more then rid the streets of all the sick freaks who do do that! My question is, do you think people even read the details of a question before answering, or do they just jump to conclusions about what the question is really about? WHAT THE PROBLEM IS?

Although not completely accepted, gay marriage is much more widely accepted in America than polygamy. A few states have made gay marriage legal, but as far as i know polygamy is still completely outlawed.

i am not gay, nor would i want to be part of a polygamous marriage. i just think that if you're going to accept one, you should accept the other, especially in a country like America.

A common argument i hear for gay rights is "they'd do it anyways." well, the same thing is true for polygamy. men will cheat on their wives (it's legal). and polygamy is not unheard of in Utah, even when the state only recognizes the first wife.

america has many christians who favor a moral society. the bible condemns homosexuality, but does it condemn polygamy? if you read the bible, you'll see that it was accepted. several prophets (moses, abraham...) had many wives. king soloman is reported to have had hundreds.

my theory is that it's a subconscious reaction to population increase. do you think so (why or why not)?

I am sixteen, and I have noticed that some users blantly disregard another user's question pending on the subject, by making a satirizing comment about the person's age. I find this highly vulgar and a sign of arrogance that some people believe that maturity is based on your age, which I undoubtedly disagree with.

I and my friend are starting a movement. This movement is to fight for this world and the people in it. We are both working together but we both have a different way of doing it. I want to focus on the American government and bring it back to a place that is full of morality, service to the people, and protection of the world. My friend plans to unite the organizations that truly want to help people and make one organization that helps people

So there's 6 billion people in this world....Do you believe that there is only ONE person for you? If so, how are you supposed to find that ONE out of 6 BILLION?

Or is it possible to be completely happy with more than just one person (still one at a time, but you know what i meant)??

I am a 24 year old light-skinned black woman, who is intelligent,very secure with myself, and a generally good and decent person. I have always wondered why it is always other races that seem to flock to me, but the majority ( not all ) of black women, 9 especially here in Missouri) are so rude, jealous, and just generally don't like me BEFORE they hear me speak 2 words. Some people tell me it's because I'm pretty, and I'm light-skinned, but that doesn't make sense, because their are so many pretty black women out there. I am always one to compliment a black woman when she looks nice, but I bet you'll hardly ever hear a young black woman compliment me. They just look me up and down like " who she think she is". Why are we so insecure, and jealous as black women, instead of loving and accepting each other? Why are so many of us hating on Halle, and Beyonce..is it because they're pretty and talented?? I'd appreciate different perspectives on this issue. Can't we just love each other?

First of all, I'm ELCA Lutheran, so yes, female pastors are allowed. I'm not asking your opinion on female pastors.

Moving on, how to I tell my parents about this calling? Other people I am close to know, and are supportive. I have a friend or two who has laughed at me and told me I'm wasting my life, but that's beside the point. I can deal with them. But how do I tell my parents? It seems like they expect me to go into business or law or something like that... But that's not where I see myself. Any advice, please?

If I walked out in front of several cars as they were turning in different directions on the feeder road of the freeway? How many cars would hit each other if I did this during rush hour? I know the ones that tried to stop and ended up hitting me would end up getting hit by the cars behind them, but how many? I have had a rotten week, and want to make a difference in people's lives so they will remember me. I also had a rude customer yesterday who reported me to my boss who got onto me (he got mad because I made him wait to order something (I had 2 customers in front of him, although they weren't standing there at the time, they were brousing the store while I sent some faxes for them and did some other job for another) I want to make an impact in his life too, thought maybe I would have his name and phone number in my pocket to make the situation a little more interesting. I need some more ideas, can anyone help? Serious only please. Thanks
