About HyperactiveMiss
Hello!
Ask away! If you'd like to know me better, check out my websites by clicking here and viewing my collective. I always try to give detailed and helpful advice. Please feel free to ask me for advice and DO give me feedback! Reading good comments and knowing that I helped someone out literally puts a smile on my face.
Please be sure to look at the FAQ on my column. If you ask a question similar to one I've already answered, I will most likely reply with the same answer.
Grammar, Punctuation, etc
I think if Advicenators are going to take the time to answer other peoples' questions and give free and helpful advice, the least people could do is use correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc when they are asking for help. It's unbelievable how some people TyPe LiKe ThIs, or never use periods, or don't have the time to do a "seempl nd quik speel chek".
Pet Peeve
I think that's totally lame when someone rates you down just because they don't want to accept the truth. It's also annoying if they rate you down, just because they didn't like your answer. Advicenators isn't about hearing what you want to hear. It's about finding the truth. People should be thankful that someone gave their time and effort. They should be thankful their question was even answered at all.
Rating & Feedback
Let me just remind you what each number means when you rate someone. These are OFFICIAL.
1- Pretty Bad Advice
2- Not Harmful, But Not Useful Either
3- Decent Enough Advice
4- Good Advice
5- Really Awesome Advice
I think everyone should give feedback, not just a rating. And feedback should include WHY you gave that person that specific rating. If everyone did that, everyone would probably rate more accurately. Also, the advice giver took the time to answer the question. The least the question asker could do is to give feedback! But unfortunately I guess it's too hard and mind boggling for everyone to do.

this is a two part question.
1. i have been thinking of converting to buddism, but i dont really know enough about the religon. i was wonering if anyone can give me information on it or tell me where to get some information on buddism.
2. my mom is a really strict christian. im sure how to tell her that i want to convert.
any advice on either of these questions would be really helpful. i'll rate 5's for good answers.
To be honest, I guess I'm "buddhist" but I've never actually been religious (Neither has my family). So I really don't know enough to tell you much, but I really suggest you look it up. Buddhism is how you spell it, so before you even think about converting at least know how to spell it correctly.
There are SO many websites that could give you lots of information. You just gotta start looking for them. Here are a few websites, I looked them up on google.
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism
- http://www.fwbo.org/buddhism.html
- http://buddhism.about.com
- http://www.buddhanet.net
Don't listen to the other people below telling you not to convert. Your religion and your beliefs are completely up to you. Whether you convert or not should be your choice.
As for your mother, I'm sorry I don't have any ideas on how to tell her. Just tell her this is what you really want to do. Tell her if she loves you she will respect your decision and support you. Perhaps you can show her the good aspects of Buddhism and how it will make you a better person. Tell her it will be pointless anyway if you continue "worshiping" a religion you don't even believe in.
If my answer does not satisfy you...

It's an actual link =b
EDIT: Ugh. Thanks for giving a three...not. You say "thanks" and give me a three? You are very ungrateful. I would have rather gotten no rating from you.
