just as the title says

It's a chick flick if the plot is mostly emotion.

chick flick- "I'm sad", "I'm in love", "I'm happy"

not chick flick- "blow the train up", "kill that guy"

i don't get why everyone wants castro to die. what disease does he have and is he on his death bed? also what is it like to live under his rule? when he dies who will replace him?

i'm so confused!

He is sick, but the Cuban government isn't revealing how sick. His brother already has replaced all of his duties, and will continue if Castro dies. It's not terrible living under his rule. Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuba#Society
People in the US want him to die because they have listened to the US's capitalist propaganda, and think he is horribly evil.

Everyone says that if you go to Cuba people will kill you. What is the USA-Cuba relationship like and why? Also why are so many people leaving Cuba and how do they escape and where do they go?

(Sorry but there's so many questions running through my head.)

People in Cuba are generally nice. It's just like the US, but you don't have any rights and it's poorer. People won't try to kill you, but they might discriminate against you the same way people from the US discriminate against middle-eastern people. There's an embargo* between the US and Cuba. So to get to Cuba you have to go to Canada/Mexico/Europe first, then Cuba. Not many people emigrate from Cuba like that, it's rare. Those that do, do it for the same reasons people from Mexico try to illegally cross into the US border: they are poor, or there is a lack of jobs, and they think there will be more opportunities here.

*Did you know that the US helped Fidel Castro revolt against the old Cuban government? They then expected Castro to make a "democracy", modeled after the US. When he instead made it a dictatorship and (falsely) claimed that it was a communist nation, the US did the national equivalent of saying "I'm not talking to you any more", and banned trade and travel to Cuba. The ban is called an embargo.

okkay so you know those thigns about the screen. Like out run the monster, and you have to click and click. & you always win. and it says in a free iphone. I know those don't work but what happens. do you actually get like an iphonee?

After you complete the offers and get the referrals, they send you the thing they promise(usually). I've heard that the free ____ on this site always works:
http://info.freepay.com

(ps: doesn't work here, and you forgot , which will often screw up pages on other sites)

I think ive become desensitized to all the violence on tv. When I hear statistics about 10000 people dying somewhere I don’t feel anything. Its horrible but theres something wrong with me! Am I a sosciopath/psychopath?

No, that's fine. The news distances you from it, so you don't actually understand it. No one does. It would be unusual if you burst into tears when they say that.

Has anyone tried inserted a sleeping friend’s hand in a bowl of warm water at a sleepover? Tell me if it works! It’s a good prank for next April fools day.i don’t get why they don’t wake up and doesn’t the water get cold quick?

It's the cold water that does it. You use room temperature(that cools slowly) water so they don't notice.

Why do people like killing other people? What does it mean when someone says they feel “more alive” when they do?

The adrenaline makes you feel more alive. But most people that kill do it because they want something the person has, or they're trying to achieve something. Very few do it "just for kicks".

A previous question reminded me of a question I have but forget to ask. What is 1d, 2d, and 3d in terms of videogames and computer graphics?

They are math terms, not computer terms.

1d has only location, it doesn't have width or length. A point on a coordinate plane is 1d.

2d has width and length, but not height. A square is 2d. Super mario bros(the old version, for the NES) is 2d.

3d has width, length, and height. You are 3d, a cube is 3d. Most modern games, like counterstrike, are 3d.

[view]


As opposed to someone who is called two-dimensional, what’s a 3d person? And what is 2d and 1d or is there only 3d and 2d? (not computer graphics or videogames related)

You're over-analyzing. In that context, there is only two-dimensional. No one says "you're three-dimensional", because that is assumed. 1d and 4+d aren't terms in the mainstream, so saying that would be meaningless.

what are some intellectually stimulating books

I think the fiction book "Battlefield Earth" by L. Ron Hubbard is intellectually stimulating.

For nonfiction, I recommend "imagining the tenth dimension" by Rob Bryanton and "The Millennial Project: colonizing the galaxy in eight easy steps" by Marshall T. Savage

Ask the person who said it if you don't like the wikipedia article. I doubt many people speak Arabic here.

Ok, so my mom installed this internet filter called CyberPatrol. It's really annoying because it won't allow me on way too many sites! It pops up for the most unnecessary reasons!!! usually its for "chat", "glamour and intimate apperal" and "drugs alcohol and tobacco"!!!! I'm a 13 year old girl and this Stupid filter isn't allowing me to Chat with my friends or shop or even allow me on any websites were they even Mention the word cigarettes! Please help me! 1.tell me if you agree with me. 2. I don't want to know how to hack into cyberpatrol, but I want to know how to get my mom to be reasonable with me! Is It because she doesn't trust me? Does she think I'm gonna go on 'adult' websites? PLEASE DO NOT tell me that she just wants to 'protect' me from junk on the internet, because that's not the problem!
In short...I just want my mom to be reasonable!

I agree with you, censorship software is ineffective and unethical. Show her http://peacefire.org/censorware/Cyber_Patrol/
It explains why cyberpatrol is bad.

I have windows XP , and my computer is on safe mode. i was wondering if anyone knows how i could possibly turn it off. I despritly need to download itunes and because of safe mode i am not being able to. thanxx :]


- D and K its LOVE01

When you start the computer, right after you press the "on" button, hold down F8. At the menu, use the arrow keys to select "start normally", then press enter. If it restarts you to safe mode again, go back to the F8 menu and select "disable automatic restart on system error"(or something like that), press enter. It should be fixed. If you get a big blue screen, write down all the text on the screen and send it to me in a personal question. Good luck!

hii this is x3babyycakes & i was JUSTT wonderingg

is there a way to filter out people who have been rated
less than 25 times? cause i hate browsing for
columnists & having them come up as "top-rated" with
a 5 if they've only been rated like 2 times.

& also, would you consider my rating good? it's 4.91
& i've been rated around 163 times. please be honest!

thankss - & happy easterr everyone :]

http://www.advicenators.com/colview.php?answers=25
In the URL, change ?answers=number to reflect your minimum number of answers. That rating seems pretty good to me, it's better than mine.

When a URL has ? in it, this is the "query". "Answers" is a variable in the PHP script on this site. Change the variable and you change the output. The & character separates two variables. So if I want to find people aged exactly 15, I can use:
http://www.advicenators.com/colview.php?minage=15&maxage=15
This works on other sites, too, and you can often use this to your advantage.
