There are currently nine questions on advicenators.com about Jabbawockeez. That's a little extreme.

Whatever you haven't already found out on this site or the official Jabbawockeez website, you may never know. Sorry.
If a company says that white people can wear jeans, but blacks can't, that's discrimination (illegal). If a company says that employees over age 30 are allowed to wear sandals, but employees younger than that can't, that's discrimination (illegal).
But when a company says that a girl can have pierced ears and a guy can't, that's totally legal, according to the law.
Why is discrimination tolerated in the workplace when it comes to gender, but not religion, race, age, etc.?
To me, tradition and customs are the basis for that rule. Think about it: generally, girls have pierced ears. Generally, guys do not. Fifty years ago, it was not considered discrimination. Generally, white AND black people wear jeans. Generally, anyone can wear sandals. That was the same fifty years ago as well.
I can understand the basis behind those rules- what has generally been accepted in society- but I agree with you, times are changing.
However, an employer has the right to invoke dress code in the workplace. It does you no good to be a rebel if you want to keep your job.
On that note, tough shit.
I was studying at a cafe today, when the guy next to me (just for the sake of talking to me), asked if I knew how to fill out information for some computer thing...I said I didn't, and resumed with my work. Less than a minute later, he turned around and asked me, "are you single?" and I replied, "I don't see why that matters." I felt a little awkward, so I got up and left the area, and under his breath he said " it's just a question." Was my answer/reaction a little uncalled for or rude? Now, to clarify, I don't care about how he felt, but I want to know for future reference...I mean, guys/men ask little questions all the time, and sometimes women want to know how to respond. I do not want to be rude, but I don't want to be a pushover either. Anyway, any advice/comments are greatly appreciated! By the way, I am 23/F.
Hmm... well, not necessarily rude, but next time, try to let him down easily. It sounds like he thought you were pretty/cool and wanted to ask you out, but if you aren't okay with that, you can just say, "I'm not looking for a relationship right now, sorry" or something along those lines. Let him know where you stand without hurting anyone's feelings. It's good that you wanted to be straightforward, but I doubt he was trying to rape you or anything, so there's no need to be snippy.
I went to a festival over the weekend, and Judas Priest played there (love them :) )
And I was wondering, when the lead singer, Rob Halford, sings, why does he look down, instead of looking at the crowd?
I mean, he looked at the crowd when talking, but when singing, he looked down all the time.
Is there any particular reason why? or is that just his style?
Btw, I want answers from people who know facts or have seen Judas Priest live. I don't want random guesses from people who don't know anything such as ''Maybe he's shy or nerveous?''
Thanks :)
I believe that's just his style. It's what he's used to, so it's what he feels comfortable doing. Kind of like the band Oasis- the lead singer has this weird stance when he sings, for no apparent reason. And Eric Clapton pretty much never actually pays attention to the audience when he sings- I've been in front row for him before and it was kind of weird. But it's just what he does.
ok so im uhh popular, but theres two different kinds of popular in my school, like two groups -- since its a big school. so the only guy in my drivers ed class i know is one of the popular guys from the other group, meaning i have never even spoken to him. its awkward though, because we know each other and have a lot of mutual friends, but weve never hung out at like a party or anything, which is pretty wierd.
so how do i start talking to him? i can't just be like hey chris whats up? but then again i cant be like hey whats your name? where do you go to school... like normal convo, because thats just wierd.
alright thanks
I think that since you know his name and stuff, he probably already knows your name and stuff about you. So start off with an icebreaker, like complaining about how driver's ed sucks. If he's willing to start a conversation, he'll probably respond. But if you start making little remarks like that, that will make it easier to be like, "Hey Chris, what's up?"
Personally, I don't think it would be weird to be like, "Hey Chris, what's up?" if you know that you go to the same school as the guy. I go to a pretty big school too, but whenever I'm in a situation like yours with people from another group or whatever, just pretend like you're actually friends with the person. I mean, I wouldn't think it was weird for someone I vaguely knew to just start talking to me. Just go for it, if he doesn't want to talk to you then at least you were the one who was being nice.
Ok so you know how when sometimes people say "deuce" as in like "later"?
Like how do you say it?
I know you do it with the peace signs, but when you say it, you dont say I gotta deuce like I gotta dip cuz that means like take a dumppp haha right?
Do you just say "deuce" and leave kinda?
Does anyone konw what i mean haha
Haha, well, it's kind of exactly like saying later. You wouldn't say, "I gotta later," you'd be like, "Oh, I have to go. Later." So I guess you could be like, "I'll see you tomorrow. Deuces" and then leave.
I was just wondering, if someone 18 or older kissed someone under 18 is that illegal?
Nothing sexual, and never will be because I know that is, just kissing.
I believe that statutory rape only counts for sexual stuff (and only if somebody presses charges) so it's not really illegal. It may depend on the scenario.
If you're talking about a relationship between someone who is 15/16/17 and someone who is 18/19, that's pretty common and is not considered illegal. However, if you're in a relationship/whatever with an adult and your parents are not okay with it, watch out because they can get your boyfriend/girlfriend in trouble with the law.
From what you've said, it doesn't sound like it's a bad situation at all. I know plenty of 18+ people that have dated people under 18, with no trouble.
EDIT: Oh okay, I agree with you completely then. I didn't know if you were like 13 and online dating a 45 year old :)
I am going on a trip to Atlanta, GA and I want to bring a small bowl and a little bit of pot with me. If I put them inside a small zip lock baggy and insert them into my umm yea would I be okay?
Um, if you're flying, that's pretty illegal.
If you get caught, that is.
I don't even know if that's physically possible... but it won't be okay if you get caught, I know that for sure. Whatever you do, just be careful.
There has been some controversy with myself and one of my friends if there is a C# or not. I have looked it up on the internet but my friend still don't believe me. So if you would send me some of your infomation on it so I can prove to my friends that I'm not the only one that is sure there is a C#. I appreciate it.
Haha, yes, there is a C#. Most definitely. Because it is the trashiest sounding note on a saxophone, hands down.
Anyway, going with the same train of thought, there is also an E# or an F flat. Technically. There can also be a C flat or a B#. Why is this? E# is the same as F. F flat is the same as E. C flat is the same as B. B# is the same as C.
Those are called enharmonic tones- notes that have more than one name. So you could call C#... D flat. Or if you're being creative, you could call it B double sharp. Any note that you name like that really does exist, but it may not be the only name for that note.
If your friends don't believe you after all this, just know that you're right. I'm kind of interested to know where they think C# went.
I'm 14 and getting braces and I need to get 2 bicuspids pulled. Does getting them pulled hurt? I had 6 baby teeth pulled when I was 8 or 9, and they gave me laughing gas and some other stuff and I didn't feel anything. But is it different for adult teeth? How long will they hurt after I get them pulled?
It should be very similar to when you had baby teeth pulled. I've had adult teeth pulled too and they did the exact same thing- laughing gas, and then I didn't feel bad or anything afterward. I believe a columnist below me was talking about getting wisdom teeth pulled, which is not the same thing- so don't freak out. Pulling wisdom teeth is more of a surgery type of deal. You don't have anything to worry about- I doubt it will hurt more than a few hours.
how do you hold hands with a girl you are sitting next to in the movies that you love but you dont know if they love you back...im not going out with the girl but i really like her but i dont know if she likes me us and a couple of friends are going to the movies on the weekend and im not sure wether to make a move or not....btw(by the way) i am 13 years old so is she but we are in separate classes we both have msn
Go with the flow... it may be harder since your friends will be there though. Pay attention to her body language- for example, if you try to scoot closer to her or lean toward her in the theater, and she leans toward you, go for it. But if she seems hesitant, there's always next time.
my best friend drives a GMC Envoy, i think it's a 2001. her radio is made to where she can set a low volume, and then as she goes faster, the music gets louder. so as her speed keeps increasing, so does the volume, as long as its not already set to really loud. i was just wondering, is this something thats made into all newer envoys or GMCs, or is it like a program thing that someone bought and put on there to make it do that? if so, what is it?
It comes with most cars that have been built after like 2000. I had a Chevrolet that did that, and now I have a Nissan that does that. It increases the volume to cancel out road noise- the road noise gets louder when you go faster, so when you go faster the volume goes up. It's pretty cool. I think it's called "speed-controlled volume."
Im not sure if this is the right category for this question but hey whatever, ok yesterday was the first time i used a tampon i checked like 50 time to make sure I had it in right but all day it hurt like crud every time i moved i wanted to kill myself whats wrong with me ??
It normally feels weird the first few times, but it's not supposed to outright hurt. So if it ever hurts like that again, just take it out and then try to put a new one in. You may have put it in at the wrong angle, so you might have to experiment a few times before you get it just right. Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with you- you just need a little practice :)

Next year I'll be on the tennis team for my high school. This summer I'm planning on practicing my tennis at least 3-4 times a week for about 1.5- 2 hours each time outside at a local tennis court. I'll be practicing with an experienced friend of mine, so he'll be able to challenge me as far as the practice goes. I want to hopefully get rid of a little fat on my legs and arms and build some healthy muscle. I'm going to try and eat better, but judging just from the exercise I'll be doing, is it practical that I'll be able to gain some muscle by the end of the summer?
Also, how long would it take to see results if I'm about 5' 7" and 135 pounds doing this kind of exercise.
Should I incorporate running into my exercise to gain some endurance for my game for the season starting in the fall?
Wow, that sounds like a great workout for tennis! Yes, you'll definitely be able to gain some muscle. I have a friend who plays tennis as much as you do, and she has really defined leg muscles (plus upper-body strength). I would guess that you would see results in a few weeks, but everybody is different. And yes, running will definitely help endurance, but with as much exercise as you're doing, I don't know that it's entirely necessary. Since you're going to be playing so much outside, make sure you stay hydrated and eat enough carbohydrates to keep you going.
how do you tan with babyoil?
Baby oil won't protect you from the sun at all- so if you normally burn (when you don't put sunscreen or anything on) then it most likely won't work for you. It would be kind of like putting Crisco on something and throwing it in a frying pan. It would really just help you burn faster unless you use a tanning oil too. So before you go out in the sun, check out some tanning oils with SPFs on the label. Banana Boat makes a really good tanning oil, it's in a brown bottle.
Okay i got my toenails removed due to ingrown toenails. It kept occuring so the doctor's removed them completely. This is only on my two big toes. My highschool prom is on thursday and i want to wear toeless shoes but am too scared to show off my toes. Is there anything anyone knows of that i can buy, i know you can get fake toenails but they are all put on by glue and are for nail to nail contact it says nothing about skin.
any ideas?
It sounds like you should be able to use fake nails and just glue it to your toe. You could also use something like Scotch double-stick tape if the glue doesn't work. Or, depending on how your toes look, you could even just paint the skin.
I got sunburnt yesterday, its fairly pink and I want to know whats the quickest way of getting rid of the pink colour because Ive got a photoshoot tomorrow for my birthday.
Cheers in advance
Drink LOTS of water, and use aloe vera. It sounds like it will go away pretty quick because it's not a bad sunburn.
I have Windows Movie Maker. I liked it for awhile.. but it crashes ALL.THE.TIME. It's so frusturating. And you can only add ONE sound file into your movie. So if I want to add in my voice, I can't put a song too. Anybody know of another FREE program like windows movie maker that I can download? FOR FREE. :)
Try going to download.com and searching for another movie maker. Their stuff is free (most of the time), and it has reviews for the software.
I have to make a cd for class with 6 songs on it that have something to do with the European Enlightment. They have to be contemporary songs that relate to the Enlightment. If possible, explain how the songs relate. Thank you!
We're not supposed to do your homework for you, but try to think of songs that reflect an optimistic tone. The Enlightenment was all about discovering new things. If I had to think of a few songs that were close to that, I would consider something similar to "Everybody Wake Up" by Dave Matthews because it says:
Everybody wake up
If you're living with your eyes closed
However, the rest of the song doesn't really have anything to do with it. Sorry I can't help more but I don't want to get in trouble with Advicenators.
do a lot of people die from smoking pot their first time?
No, I've never heard of anyone dying from smoking pot.
Smoking is bad for you anyway.
