Say on the Hello Kitty site or whatever site there is a star I want to use to put on my shirt. I blow it up and edit it. Is it okay to wear that around places? I didn't make the star; what should I do and what should I answer to people who asked where I got my shirt?
If the question is in the legality of it, then it is perfectly legal for you to have it, as long as you don't intend to sell this shirt, or make any sort of profit from it. Think of it as free advertising for them.

...even if we give good advice people rate low if it's something they don't want to hear? Too bad we can't add a comment to their rating.
This is why I often have a low rating, and sometimes lose modship. I'm brutally honest, and if I think somebody is dumb, I will tell them.
There's really no cure for this. My original thought was to have some sort of feedback dispute option, where you could send a report to a L2 or L3 if you think you didn't deserve the low feedback you received for a question. But, that's a lot of work, and like everything else on the internet, it would be abused by morons.
It's hard to judge a columnist by their rating. THis is why.

whenever i go on myspace i cant listen to the songs. they will always skip and i dont know why. any one have any clue why and what i can do so i can listen to the myspace songss?
Your connection isn't fast enough to play the music as it buffers. Pause it so it will load, then it will play.
Unless you don't have dial-up or really slow DSL, there's not many other possible reasons.

I met a guy last year, and we started going out. Everything was going okay until I missed my period. I told him, and he seemed cool about it, said that if I were pregnant, he would be there for me and everything. A few months passed by before I found out I really was pregnant.
By that time, he had started talking to another girl, and had almost completely left me alone, knowing that I could be having his child. He never called anymore, and he had started talking to a boy I'll call Wayne. After seeing me try to tell my boyfriend about the situation, Wayne convinced him that I wasn't pregnant, and I was lying. When I started to show and people started asking my boyfriend about it, he would tell them the baby wasn't his.
So I gave up and decided to go through the whole thing on my own. I felt so alone, and became depressed. I needed him but I figured if he didn't care it wouldnt help to have him around. Then, when I was 5 months pregnant, I had a baby boy. He died not long after being born. I told myself I wouldn't tell my boyfriend this either. We had broken up about 2 months ago.
I only went deeper into depression because I had lost something so precious, and I was starting to look forward to having my baby.
When I would see my boyfriend, it would eat at my conscience(sp?) that he should know because it was his child. So I told him. I expected him to help me through this, but I don't think he even believed me. And even if he did, he doesn't seem to care about how I feel. While I'm always home suffering and depressed, he's being so happy with his new girlfriend and everything. And this is the worst pain I've ever felt. I'm so depressed, my grades are falling, and things are obviously just going downhill for me.
I wish I could just make him care. I'm going through this alone and it's really hard. Is there anything I can do to help myself get out of this depression? Anything I can say or do that will show him I'm not lying and I really need him right now? What is your honest opinion on this situation?
Thank you so much in advance.
I'm sure you can receive some sort of document stating the existence and death of this child. Get an offical report from a doctor, which destroys any doubt this guy has that the child ever existed. Send it to him through the mail, as well as a long, handwritten letter explaining exactly what happened and exactly what you think of him for it. You've been taking all this stress yourself; it's about time you made him realize what he has done so he can share it. If, after all this, he still does not seem to care, he is less than a human being, and you should never associate with him again.
Once he realizes the reality of the situation, he will hopefully live up to it. Best of luck to you, and he if doesn't act like a man and admit his fault, I hope he dies in a fire.

i really wanna become wiccian but i don't know how to i wanna know were to go to learn and what to do so please help
If you don't know how to become one, what it is about, or anything like that, why do you want to become one in the first place? Just to be different?
If you truly want to be different, come up with your OWN beliefs. It's rare anyone thinks for themselves anymore.

is there anyway to get music on your column?
I know that it at least used to be a bannable offense. Chances are, it still is. Even if it isn't, it's a horrible idea anyway. This is not Myspace (although I hate the fact that you can put music on that too), this is a place to show your advice column. If someone clicks on your name, there's very little chance they did it to find out your taste in music.
Not only that, but for the people with dial-up, it takes exponentially longer to load up a person's page that has music, moving abckgrounds, or pop-up messages. And, the only person who thinks these things are cool are the people who post them. Everyone else finds them to be an annoyance.
You want your advice column to stand out? Then give good advice. Flashy text and HTML embed tags are not the way to go.

There is a guy I really like (who also has the slight potential of liking me back). He's very funny and actually very polite and nice. However, he doesn't seem to be a very devout Christian, because he cusses. Even though I cuss sometimes, I feel like he may have a bad influence on me in that way, and I know from Bible study that I'm supposed to surround myself with people who share my beliefs and are going to be a good influence. But there seems to be something wrong with that, because if I cuss now and then, I may be a kind of bad influence on others too, and they wouldn't want to be around ME either. I guess what I'm trying to ask is...would it be okay to continue to flirt with this guy and (if it works out right) date him? Sorry, this was kind of long and confusing... btw, I'm almost 16, if that helps any.
"I know from Bible study that I'm supposed to surround myself with people who share my beliefs and are going to be a good influence."
Let me start off by saying that I simply cannot agree with this statement at all. Only associating yourself with people exactly like you makes you close-minded, and people with different beliefs will be shut out by you. There will be a lot of people you will refuse to get to know, and I would certainly be offended if I was pushed away by someone just because I didn't think they way they did. How would you feel if someone was your friend, and then broke all contact once they found out you were Christian? That would be what you would be doing, if you stop associating with this guy. Not only that, but you'll never have the option of questioning your beliefs, or learning about others. This is the best way to appreciate your own beliefs more, and reshape them into what YOU think is correct.
Getting away from that.
If he's a nice guy, then go for it. Don't outcast him for that reason.

ok my dad wasnt home so i snuck a reeses peanut butter cup, even though i wasnt supposed to have one and i dropped it and my dog ate it...is he going to die? please help me i am so scared right now...hes a wire fox terrior, 1 year old and weighs about 18-20 pounds if that helps...please help me danielle
No, your dog won't die. There's a good chance he won't even be sick. Yeah, chocolate isn't good for dogs, but a peanut butter cup certainly isn't fatal.

I am glad these kids have a place to go where they may get some logical advice about sex (and some bad advice too which is sad)
I am just wondering how many of you "adults" think that too many are having sex too early? To me, they know very little about the consequences--most questions are asked after the fact. Perhaps this shows that sex education is not done early enough and it is not effective enough. What do you think?
Sex education is a joke, and isn't taken seriously. The kids take nothing from it other than free condoms and a few childish jokes. The real problem at hand is the parents who rely solely on the schools to teach their kids about sex. These are the same kind of parents who use TV as a babysitter, and let the kids make Easy Mac and fend for themselves.
We can't individually beat these parents senseless (which I would LOVE to do), and there isn't a whole lot we as a society can do. There's only so many times we can say "I told you so". I think that after this generation, the children now who will become parents will not become pregnant at 14 as often, as they themselves had to experience what life like that is like, and won't wish it upon their own children. Teen pregnancy rates will drop, and at one point will rise again, as a cycle.
My advice to anyone out there is to accept the fact that sex = children, and if you are willing to do the first part, you need to be willing to face the consequences of the second. If you do not have the financial and emotional ability to support a child, don't have sex.

my name is venesa and i dont like it.
i want to change it to something else so random and unique like echo or something
so please. any suggestions?
If you change your name (legally) on a random impulse, people are going to make fun of you. If you don't like your name, have your friends come up with a nickname for you. Despite popular belief, my real name is NOT K', but I highly prefer it. I didn't decide one day that I will rename myself and everyone will go along with it, because it just doesn't happen that way.
Bob: "Hey guys, what's going on?"
John: "Hey Mike!"
Bob: "No no, see, my name is Bob now. I changed it!"
John: "Fuck you, Mike. You're dumb. I'm going to sleep with your wife now."
Bob: "I am sad."
DO YOU WANT THAT TO BE YOU?
Anyway, you can't just change your name. There is a legal process you must follow, and at your age, you can't do it without parental consent. My guess is, you won't get it.

I read your profile thing and I'm trying to do the same thing (move into an apartment with my girlfriend and 2 other people). A few questions though..
1. How do you have sex with your girlfriend with 2 other people in the apartment?
2. What do you do if you break up?
3. How do you split up the rent evenly?
4. How do you work out food (like if I buy milk or whatever does everyone use it..?)
Sorry if I seem stupid.
1. Silently. It's best if you have a lock on your door, but if you don't, put up a sign that says "HAY GUYZ WERE DOING IT LOL". Well, ok, maybe not that, but your roommates will appreciate knowing that they should always knock before entering. My roommate never walks in without warning because he knows my girlfriend and I just don't like wearing clothes.
2. If you break up, you pretty much just have to deal with each other until the lease has ended, if all your names are on it. If her name is not on the lease and you break up, she can legally leave and not have to pay rent. If her name is on the lease however, she is still obligated to pay rent, even if she moves out. If you're not sure you will last for the lease period, you may want to consider finding another roommate who would be more reliable.
3. Add up the total of rent, groceries, and any other bills your apartment complex doesn't cover, and divide it by 4. Keep track of all expenses to make sure that you don't end up paying more than anyone else. Most complexes take any form of payment other than cash, so you can go in separately and write a check or use a debit card for your fourth of the bills.
4. Find out a time when all 4 of you aren't busy, and go grocery shopping together. Only buy the things that all 4 of you will use, and then divide up the cost at the register. That way, you've all paid for the things you will all share. Then you can all go and buy the things you only want for yourself; if only one of you will eat cereal, why should all of you pay for it? Keep that kind of stuff in your own separate stash, so it won't get mixed in with the other food that is free reign.
These are the tips that have worked fine for us, so hopefully they will be of the same use to you.

I'm in high school. I heard something about a GED that gets you out sooner..what is that? How does it work, does it look good or bad for colleges, is it free, everything. :)
I'm feeling generous with ratings btw.
GED stands for Good Enough Diploma (not really, but Chris Rock has a nice segment on it.) It is normally considered inferior to a normal diploma, as it is usually received by dropouts who couldn't handle high school the first time, or had to leave for other reasons (pregnancy, cannibalism, death, chronic masturbation, these are not real reasons). Although most HR departments in a business are required to say that a GED is an acceptable equivalent for a diploma, it usually is not. Don't get one with the hopes that it will get you out of school faster; it takes the same amount of work anyhow. It may come back to haunt you when you try to get a decent job, or apply to anything other than a community college. In short=
GED = Dumb
High School Diploma = Less dumb, but probably still dumb

I am looking for a good RPG for PS2 and can't seem to find one. Its like all the other good RPGs are for the Xbox. I don't want Final Fantasy. What I am looking for in my game is for it to have your basic attack and magic. Also there has to be ALOT of replay value and I can play this game over and over without getting bored.
Not real big on PS2 RPGs. Bad selection. But, you can pick up lots of good PS1 RPGs to play on your PS2. I suggest Breath of Fire III, Xenogears, Suikoden (I or II), Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (kind of an RPG, anyway), and Thousand Arms. However, most of these games are fairly rare, and may be hard to find. When you find them, they might also be above your price range.

I have a friend who is a very nice person. I almost feel bad for writing this, but it's been an ongoing issue.
The problem is that she calls me WAY too much. She phones me on average about 6 or 7 times a day. She also is one of those people that phones and wants to talk for an hour even though she has absolutely nothing to talk about. If I wasnt the one to always end the conversation she would probably talk all day. I do have other friends and interests and I really feel she is monopolizing my time.
She doesnt have a job or go to school and I know is always bored. But I DO have a job. Other times I'll be expecting an important call, and she will phone me twice within the hour. A lot of times I'll tell her that I'll phone her later because my favorite soap is on, and she will phone me 20 minutes later even though she knows the show is still on. She phones me early in the morning, and late at night. She'll phone as late as 11 pm. Sometimes I don't answer the phone at all. Then when I finally answer it she says she had been trying me all day.
How can I tell her nicely that she needs to stop phoning me so ofter without hurting her feelings? I would prefer if she just called my once a day.
If you continue answering the phone and not saying anything to her about how often she calls, she'll assume that you enjoy all of her calls and have absolutely no problem with the amount of calls you receive. You need to tell her, in person (maybe over coffee or something) that you have a very strenuous schedule and you just can't handle the volume of phone calls she sends your way. Or, you can be very blunt, and say "STOP CALLING ME SO GODDAMNED OFTEN", which is what I would do, which is why I have very few friends. But I would suggest against that.
Perhaps you can introduce her to the concept of text messaging. Faster, easier, and also easier to ignore.

I just found out that a distant relative who passed away has left me an 800 dollar inheritance. It may not sound like a lot but to me it is. I should be getting the money within the next month.
I would like to purchase something with the money. I don't want to blow it on clothing or CD's or DVD's. What would be something that I could buy that would be a wise purchase? I already have a DVD player and a computer.
Keep it and refuse to spend it. I doubt they would have left the money to you if they knew you were going to spend it on some material item. If you are to spend it, spend it on something you NEED. Pay the rent with it or something.

Hey, ok so i recently just got a boyfriend and i love him! but i feel like he likes me more in a sexual way than he does emotionally. should i do something?
Deny him sex, or anything sexual, straight up when he wants it. If he leaves you, that is all he wanted.

SCARED.
AIM conversation with a female friend:
Me: well i know the siptums of gonneriea( sorry if i spelt it rong) and its burned like 3 times while i was going to the bathroom. and my urine smells really strong. could this be gonneria? i know this question sounds nasty but im really scared.
i rate 5's
SCARED.
Me: HELP THIS WOMAN
Her: so she knows the siptums... but still doesnt know?
Me: SHE IS SCARED
Me: She fears the reaper.
Her: i think she has a urinary tract infection
Her: but then again, she IS a fucking slut
Me: I think she has a 3rd grade education.
Her: so it is hard to tell
And there you have it! Not only could you have a urinary tract infection, you also have a 3rd grade education and you're a slut. Did I help?
Edit: You said you rated 5's. So, not only are you a dumb slut, you're also a liar.

Im 13, And Im female. I just kinda have a odd questions. You know how people say (While i heard it on tv once, & once on here..) When boys at school when they get hard, they try to stop it and cover it with the books in front of it..
Will honestly, do they REALLY DO THAT?
& doesnt it hurt, trying to make it not so noticeable...
I mean im a girl, and i just see it as pain, or something. hah.. Thanks i rate high.
Not pain; irritation. Having a penis is often a giant inconvienence, what with random erections. Also because it's nearly impossible to pee in a straight line. Yeah, we can stand up to pee, but we have little control over where it goes!
I shift positions when I'm sitting and usually put a hand in my pocket, to make it look like my hand is causing that bulge (no you ass, I'm not touching myself.)

i think i might have general anxiety disorder (GAD). i get really anxious and nervous a lot. sometimes for no reason. i also cant sleep, but i dont know if thats related. does anyone know signs that mean you might have it or how this is usually treated?
First of all, try to avoid diagnosing yourself. Despite whatever symptoms you may show, you cannot diagnose yourself just by reading them and thinking you have it.
Your best bet is to discuss it with your counselor at school. Not only will you get a professional opinion, but no teacher gets mad at you for not being in class if you were at the counselor.
