If so, what do you all think about it and where is some good information on it? Thank you
oh for fuck's sakes its not a goddamn bomb. they're taking a probe and smashing it at high velocity (by that I mean speeds measured in kilometers per second) into the moon to see if they can kick up any sign of water, whether it be vapor, ice, whatever they can get. the probe is likely to be no larger than a baseball, but at those speeds its kinetic energy will be on par with an anti-tank sabot round. check out nasa.gov for the full scoop. its not like NASA would waste precious weight margins to bring a few blocks of C4 on the mission for kicks.

I am working on a paper for anthropology and i am confused. Is the species "Homo" its own species or is just sort of the umbrella that Homo erectus, homo sapien, and modern humans fall under?
Thanks so much!
not to be a dick, I agree with the rest of it, but the correct scientific name for humans is "homo sapiens sapiens" there's another species called homo sapiens neanderthal, and I'm sure you've heard of them.

My friend said he saw track marks on his girlfriend's arm... What are track marks?
Thanks.
sounds like somebody's shooting some heroin....
a track mark is the mark that a needle leaves when it goes in a vein. they look like railroad tracks when you are dealing with a real dope-head.

hey i need an idea for a college esssay
i need my essay to STAND OUT
any advice will really help!
I'd suggest listening to this nate fellow. just keep it in proper essay format and let that shit flow, if you've ever heard the phrase "stream of consciousness", use that. your goal in this operation is to not sound like a fuckin robot, and try your best to use big words like "circumlocutions" without making it obvious. the subject isn't as important as how it is conveyed. thats the real indicator of a person's intellect and drive. not their athletic goals or their pet turkey named Hamsterpants.
here's how I imagine it: I've travelled back in time to the early 90's and I have to present the knowledge of future events to washington bigwigs in order to prevent them from happening. I call it the "terminator" scenario. put that fire under your ass, and you'll be on your way to binge drinking and all-night cram sessions.

I have sat and thought many a times about the point of life. When one comes to think about it, life is jsut about the most pointless and meaningless thing there is around. We are born, we are stupid and useless. We work for many many years with minimal enjoyment, then we are again stupid and useless. I really don't get the point of all this s**t and it really is getting to me. I have thought about how we all really jsut WANT to live, we don't really need to live. What does this universe or whatever need with humans? We are a pointless existence. In the end, everything will be gone. When the supernova of our sun happenes, everything will be gone. What really is the point? no matter the little joys you may get out of life, I don't see the point in going on through a long and pointless life, to get to nowhere. Death? that's all you get as a reward. its truly pathetic. Therefore, I don't want to live any longer, and I would like to commit suicide. But I am scared, and I do not want to make a scene. I want to just quickly, silently, and painlessly pass away, and be done with all this bulls**t. Please help me out. thank you
its been said that the greatest philosophical question ever is whether or not to kill yourself. valid points, though the sun will not go supernova, thats reserved for stars much larger than our homely F-type star. you have presented a good argument for doing it, and I respect that. But...(gotta love that word) when you ask "why", I ask "why the fuck not?". looks like somebody's got a bit of depression going on, or, If I am mistaken, a very calculating and completely inhuman thought pattern. either way, I'd suggest sticking around for the rest of the show to at least watch these other jackasses and their incessant antics.
If you heed any of my advice, heed this; change shit up if its boring you to death(pun intended), make your one life worth living, do crazy ass shit that nobody would expect, its good fun for all involved. But if you do decide that shit's not worth it, do your friends and family a favor and either lay down tarps to minimize the mess, or make it look like an accident(ie: trip and fall in front of a car). either way you're going to traumatize the fuck out of your friends and family, but at least they didn't have to scoop your guts off the wall.
good luck with your decision, and trust me, once you're staring down the barrel of that nine millimeter beretta, the choice you make after that is final.

i heard that there are certain schools that require a head shot when you apply and they'll only let you in if you're like pretty enough or whatever... does anyone know if this is true and if so what schools are like this?
if any university was that shallow, its not worth attending. it would probably be used for that bullshit "equal opportunity" program if at all. have no fear, society may be that fucked up, but chances are good that the world's greatest and best educated minds have more important things to worry about than some freshman's crooked teeth or acne.

guys why do you like boobs so much? i don't get it, they're just like fat sacs. i asked my boyfriend and he said they were "beautiful" hah but i think they're ugly...idk can anyone answer my question? lol
hahahaha! Excellent. not a big fan of large breasts personally, but breasts are one of the many parts that make up the awesomeness that is a woman. one possible reason is guys see the first thing on a target and focus on that.... its a hunting skill from back in the day when you had to find the perfect prey, like the wildbeast with the limp in the back of the herd. anywho, its also an indicator that the person is most likely female... sometimes thats hard to figure out.
now on the "ugly" subject, that, to me, is a good indicator that you're not into chicks. I think my penis is ugly, doesn't mean the rest of the world does. Women are, as far as I'm concerned, living, breathing, pieces of art. or at least thats my newest bullshit excuse for looking at them every chance I get.
if that didn't work, here's the barney style version: you(girls) are meant for breeding and rearing young. we've got a means of producing, but without breasts, there is no follow-through and the child dies. not like there's always been baby formula at the local seven-eleven....
that went a little off topic for a minute. the point being, if I'm looking for a girl to have kids with, I want to make sure the following criteria are met:
1: not crazy(risk she'll kill the kids)
2: not sick(produce weak offspring)
3: has breasts(feeding, what else?)
4: healthy weight(better chance at producing viable offspring)
hope I shot that dead horse enough.

So I REALLY REALLY would be grateful for some help on this before I go insane myself.
I am doing a research paper about the Vietnam era and my topic is how war drives people insane. It shouldn't be too hard to find sources to prove that, since people in the 60's were pretty insane and im sure it had something to do with the war and something to do with all those new drugs coming out. Well my teacher says i need to find pictures and songs, not books as sources. I have one picture, but i need other types of media other than books that prove people were crazy because of the war...and the hard part is they HAVE to be printed in the 60's to early 70's. They can be songs, pictures, movies, etc. just no books. and it seems easy enough, but i cant find ANYTHING!!!!
"just no books" you just shot most of the best sources down, but I can understand where you're coming from. so I'll paraphrase most of my research and personal experience in order to get you the needed data. This is from a book called "On Killing"
according to some studies conducted over the years, the psychological damage associated with killing can be gauged by the sensitivity of the individual, and proximity to the victim. killing another human being with long range weapons is a hell of a lot easier than doing it with a bayonet in the guys face with his hot breath all over you smelling like the curry he ate last night as you slide the eight inch blade across his throat and listen to the gurgled screams slowly patter off. Killing is such an unnatural thing to do that it fucks you up even when you absolutely have to kill that motherfucker.
thats what some former colonel from the 82nd airborne has to say. this is my take, and my experience.
I've lived around vietnam vets for most of my life, they've told me some really dark shit, the ground pounding combat troopers, some of the ones I know back in the states never came back. they're still up in the woods in western mass fighting the war. The opponent back then was a vicious up close and personal one, highly skilled as a jungle fighter. The battles I've had related to me, I can barely relate with, three hundred jihadis attacking me last year has no comparison to the kinds of numbers they talk about. southeast asia had a lot of cheap drugs available, and just like a few of the guys with me in my last deployment, the GIs back then used them to relieve stress and stem the tide of horror. Unlike my experience, they had been betrayed by the nation they were sworn to protect, and thats just plain awful, how would you feel if people were calling you "babykiller" and spitting on your uniform? exactly. The guilt of killing, the drugs they used to relieve the psychological pain, and the guilt the society forced upon them for their courage, determination, and sacrifice, these combined in a lot of these guys to drive them over the edge.
I've got symptoms of PTSD, controlling emotions and drinking to stop the flashbacks are a serious problem for me, but every time I remember what they went through in 'Nam, I feel like a bitch for even complaining. and so I refuse to get the help that I probably need. welcome to the life of a soldier, My unit and my equipment have a higher priority than any problem I have, and besides, my peers view a trip to the mental health clinic as a sign of weakness and malingering. 'Nam vets had no support compared to what we have today, and I'm ashamed for it.
and tell your teacher that he or she is a bloody nitwit. popular culture in the 60s and 70s cannot be relied upon worth a damn. Those pinko scumbags running the show back then made good men out to be monsters, and don't feel shy about printing this off and showing your teacher an example of my utter distatse for the pinko programming they're trying to sling into the heads of kids these days. Go to a VFW, call the post commander(they're in the phone book) have real live veterans tell their story to your class. Being a warrior isn't all about defending The Constitution and The American People. Its also about teaching kids like you the things you need to be a good citizen. Our mistakes, our triumphs, they'll be all for naught if the next generation can't follow through and use our knowledge and experience to make the world a better place. The VFW will be more than happy to help you.
good luck with the project, kid. hope I helped.

What does this quote by Benjamin Franklin mean?
"Without freedom of thought there can be no such thing as wisdom, and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech, which is the right of every man as far as by it he does not hurt or control the right of another; and this is the only check it outght to suffer, and the only bounds it ought to know."
I think I have a general idea, but just thought I'd double check.
Also, what are some controversial, memorable topics that this quote applies to? The more the topic stands out, the better. Specifics cases and stuff would be helpful, if possible.
Thanks!
ahhh, an intelligent question. man, this is a treat.
here's how I interpret it;
freedom of thought is paramount, unless you're willing to address every topic of discussion with an open mind, you're going to restrict the knowledge gained from such endeavors. for example, social norms in The United States will not let a person politely address issues of race with any degree of openness. If, for example, I have an opinion contrary to the one put out by the ACLU and the rest of those jokers, like "I believe that affirmative action runs against everything that the country stands for", then people would immediately declare me a racist and automatically shout down any legitimate debate or discussion. similar to the behavior seen in the healthcare debate of the last few months.
The freedom of speech portion as I interpret it of course means that I can say whatever I please, as long as it is not doing nasty things like inciting riots and other such things that would cause harm to others, as well as impeding another's right to the same free speech that I enjoy.
This quote applies to nearly every event of the past year or so in some way or another, for example: some democrats and former president Jimmy Carter accusing people opposed to anything that the President says are racist simply because he is half-black. I could care less about the color of a man's skin, its the character of the man, and his actions, that I abhor. Unless a person is waving a skinhead flag and declaring something along the lines of "Skin that Nigger!" I am going to listen to his side of the debate. This is not happening on either side in the most recent events. The American people are losing grip on the very Bill of Rights that they claim to be so steadfastly defending, many would do well to take this Quote to heart, and if so done these yelling matches would return to a semblance of sanity and reason. I disagree with The President on universal Healthcare, but I will give the man this; he appears to be listening to people who oppose him, and as long as he doesn't lower himself and his office to the level of irreverent yelling and name-calling, I will still respect him. This is an incredibly relevant quote, thanks for giving me the opportunity to answer this, and on that note, I shall leave you a few quotes from others about ammendments and constitutional logic.
"A standing army is the bane of all liberty"
-George Washington
"A free people ought to be armed"
-forgot who said it
and another, one of my personal favorites
"Molon Labe"(old greek for "come and get them")
-Leonidas

I know this isn't about sex but i didn't no what to put it under lol.
So I think Obama should have never became president
I think hi is an idiot.
So i want to know people who did vote for him why you did what were your reasons?
Cause if you think hes ganna pay for your bills and provide for you hes not.
I just wanna know everyones reason for why they voted for him or why you didn't vote for him.
Also a lot of people including me, Think he manly won cause he is black and i think if that is true witch i think it is i think thats wrong.
My resons are because I think racism is wrong and if people vote for him only because he's black just means your being racist. Now you might note be but your basing your decision on the color of his skin i and i think thats horriable.
I bet if he was a white man he would not of one or he wouldn't of one for the reasons he did.
PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS OVENSIVLY IM JUST SPREEDING MY OPINION ON WHAT I BELIEVIE AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT PEOPLE BELIEVE OR THINK.
"offensively" here's a solution for that; type your question in microsoft word, spell-check it, then paste it on. eliminates comments relating to ignorance.
I voted for McCain, for simple reasons:
first off, I like knowing that there's a tough son of a bitch running things, and to survive a stay at the hanoi hilton, you have to be one hell of a badass. Second, I saw obama's speech at the 2004 convention and considered him immediately as a possible 2012 presidential candidate. it was too soon for him to take office in 08, you don't put young pups in a dogfight with rottweilers.
Third, what just happened in afghanistan? I doubt any of you are tracking this, he replaced my old commander, an experienced combat leader, with somebody Chairman mullen is quoted describing as "more in touch with the sensitivities of washington"
you do not replace generals based on their political reliability in the United States military. Thats wrong, and we're pissed. I knew he was going to pull shit like that. now our Rules Of Engagement have changed so drastically, some guys died because that fruitcake you people voted for would not allow them adequate fire support because we might hurt some of the "poor little Afghans" Newsflash: Fuck the Afghans, I will go to prison for the rest of my life if I have to in order to ensure the survival of my fellow soldiers. pussies make rules like that, and real men will pay the price, both ways, without hesitation.
After this deployment, I will not return home. home doesn't even exist anymore, because as I type this, the institutions that I have spent years defending are being torn apart. You americans will wake up one day, and tell your grandchildren how great freedom was, until YOU let it slip down the gradual slope of history, and gladly walked into bondage, all for the sake of "Change"

Hi. 17/M. Im studying american history, and one topic is the vietnam war. I do not understand why John F. Kennedy is considered a hero, when in reality, his actions worsened the state of the USA in vietnam. Maybe im missing something? anyone help me out?
thanks.
funny thing about that.... people naturally revere the dead, its like when my troop lost guys in afghanistan, we all talked shit about them when they were alive, but the second they died, all you heard from every single motherfucker was "how awesome they were" and shit like that. look at lincoln, same thing, he was despised by everybody until he was martyred. same damn thing, any jackass can be a jackass, but a dead jackass is a fucking hero.

Hi I'm from the UK.
I have a 9 year old daughter who is very distressed and upset and i'm hoping you can help me help her!!
I moved away from her dad in 1999 (before she was born) due to domestic violence and gained an interdict to stop him coming near us. Since we weren't safe in the area we lived in after my split with him i moved to Edinburgh in 2002 and have been safe and living life normally ever since, that is until May last year when he managed to locate us.
Within a week we had to be placed in a Womans Aid refuge for our safety and he believes we live down in London now.
Ever since though he set up websites in search of us using videos and information from my daughters health problems to try and locate us. Now the first two websites we managed to get taken down as it pertained to a minors safety but the 3rd (which my daughter stumbled on last night) has only been up for a couple of days.
I've spoken to the police who confirmed this is a source of harassment yet won't do anything about it as its online. My solicitor reakons since he doesnt know where our new address is we should simply ignore it but its easier said than done!!
He is definately abusing my daughters right to safety and privacy. He has invaded both me and my daughters privacy by making this site and has caused us great annoyance and anxiety. The very fact he used her name as his web address shows he is abusing her right to privacy. If it was more about him it should have been called JohnMackie.co.uk not http://www.Shannoncassidy.co.uk
My daughter deserves the right to live life normally and safely - she does NOT deserve her privacy violated in such a manner and certainly not be hounded by him. Please for the safety of my daughter help me get him stopped for good!!
I need help! This is affecting my daughter greatly!! She has only JUST started relaxing after the last spate of websites and now shes back to sitting in her room crying - She doesn't understand why someone would ignore her requests to take it down and leave her alone as she wants nothing to do with him at the moment.
In light of this i would appreciate it if you could help!!
this is freakin classic! I bet you couldn't be shocked any more if I shoved a cattleprod down your throat and hit you with ten milligrams of epinephrine...... now that would be a helluva time. congratulations kids, you just won the space race for "week's worst people" by a long shot. ta-da! tell us what they won shannon,
"the alienation of their daughter"
thats correct! but wait, theres more! with this comes three hundred pounds of your daughter's emotional baggage ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!!

I didn't know I was going to have to take a pee test immeadiately when I started my new job. I drank Wednesday night and I will be taking the test around 1-2pm today (Friday). That'll be around 37 hours since I last drank. That's enough time right? I've been drinking good ammounts of cranberry juice/water and taking cranberry pills to flush out my system. Also, I don't smoke weed but I'm around it occasionally and was on Wednesday. I didn't get close enough to inhale any smoke but I was in the room as someone was smoking. Could just being around it cause there to be traces of it in my pee? jw. Thanks.
yeah, I had a piss test after hanging around a bunch of dope smoking heathens a while back, came back fine. you have to be smoking for it to show up. they're not concerned about alcohol if thats also what you're asking. by the way, eating mushrooms shows up as food poisoning...just so you know...

anyone have a good book?
i dont like anything dealing with murder unless its like awesome!
something like adventurous and funny and keeps you on your feet.
thank you!
ahh.... number 800. such a momentous occasion...
anyways, on to your question.
anything by Tim dorsey is outstanding. his books "stingray shuffle" "hammerhead ranch motel" "florida roadkill" are classic adventure stories about a complete whacko with tweaked out sidekicks and his travels around the state of florida...and the hilarious encounters he has with normal floridians. a lot of people die, but not only do they have it coming, they also die in the most bizarre and awesome ways.
get them and enjoy.

my boyfriend is looking to buy the new kawasaki ninja 250R for his first motorcycle .. do you think its a good idea? or is there a better option?
have fun identifying him at the morgue if he does something stupid. Ninjas tend to make people stupid. had a buddy of mine fly through a red light and into the side of a minivan about two months ago on one of those corpsemakers. tell him to get something used and not fast.
If you come back with "STFU my boyfriend would never do that, he's really resposible..."...
then remember this as they scrape him out from around the engine block of an eighteen wheeler: getting dumb on a fast bike is not hard, but walls, cars, and trucks most certainly are.

ok so i lift weights and stuff so i have good muscles cause my cousin is 20 and kind of like a role model to me, he does body building and i have started doing it so i have more muscles..right haha
so when i was about 11 i broke my left arm twice in the same year so i had to wear this cast up to just past my elbow and my right arm was used heaps more and now, when they are showing, my right arm has about 15 veins going up from about my wrist up to my elbow, and one going up to my shoulder and a few more going around.. ok so on my left arm there is only one or two veins going up from my wrist to my shoulder so how can i get as much veins in that arm
like what kind of exercises can i do
and i have two 5 kg weights and two 2kg weights
that i can use with this weight bench i think they are called, that i can lie down on and i have a pullup bar. its actually called perfect pullup just if you need to know. so should i do one handed pull ups but grab around my wrist with my right hand so i can actually do them
ok sorry if i didnt explain it well
thanks
you can keep working your left arm a little more, and see results eventually, but your dominant arm gets used more often during your daily life anyways. it won't ever be totally even, because nothing in the human body is ever perfectly symmetrical.
