my step-dad made me download mozilla firefox because it is supposed to be better than microsoft internet explorer.. so my question is.. is it really better? and i also am having a problem seeing my mail on optium online

Well considering that fact that its much less likely to get any spyware on it. And that it has tab functions. I would say Firefox is much better than IE.

I have this job, it's pretty stupid, but I hold a sign that says "Hot-N-Ready $5" for a pizza place. Anyways, I'm starting to think that the people I work with don't really respect me enough.
For example, on Good Friday, I get a phonecall from them asking me if I can work from 4-6. I say okay, and I change my easter dinner plans with my family. Well, fifteen minutes before my shift starts, I got a phonecall from them telling me I don't need to come in. The fact that they don't respect me enough to let me know earlier or to just let me come in and work the two stupid hours like I planned really pissed me off.
I had been looking for reasons to quit, because after working there for two months, I was still always working outside, and I had expected to be working inside with more hours. So, the other day, I went in, and asked if my manager would be coming in today, and the other lady was like "No, why?" and I just said "well, I need to talk to her." The other woman kept on insisting that I tell her what I need to talk to her about, so I did, and I told her I was really pissed off, and so was my family. So, she went ahead and told me all this crap about how they love me there and think I'm a "great team member". So, I didn't end up quitting, and I'm waiting until my manager comes back. They kind of go through workers pretty quickly, but I've had it.

Do you think I should quit or what? Should I just forget about it and move on and hope things get better?

Well you should of just said that you cant come in.
Its that simple, if you let them treat you like shit, then they will treat you like shit.

When I'm out buying blank CDs to burn on my CD burner, is there any real difference between plain ol' blank CDs and those "music" CDs? I mean, they have "Music" on the labels and they're more expensive, but I was wondering if that was all just marketing or if music CDs were really different.

No diffrence whatsoever, they're just made to make idiots buy more cds than they need.

Hi, what I will address won't mainly be asking for advice, but for the input of the columnists on advicenators on a very controversial issue of morals against faith in the latter of sex.

I know that among some religions that premarital sex is sinful and highly prohibited without any exceptions, but what are your opinions?

I myself am a Catholic-Christan, and believed in the "sex until marriage" thing when I was together with my boyfriend. But as we got to know each other over the years, we got into intellectual conversations about this topic and if it's argument is valid and reasonable. I'm not saying that our relationship prompted a shift in mindset on this issue, but knowing him and being with him for so many years along with witnessing other married couples made me think about this a little more thoroughly.

I started to think about it as I grew older, and I began to feel differently. The divorce rate in the U.S. is at an amazingly high rate, and more couples are breaking it off even after saving the sex until marriage "policy". On some occasions I even think that these breakoffs are due to the quality of the sex. If the sex isn't good, usually lovers leave and commit infidelity. Unless the couple is really committed to one another, they will keep trying to make the sex work out.

The way I think about this scenario now is that I believe that it is acceptable to have sex before marriage, under certain circumstances. Because a couple must establish that intellectual intimate bond with commitment, devotion, loyalty, etc. Even then does that take years to accomplish, and the time spent shows respect to each other that both partners are willing to stick it out this long and wait for each other to take action that is of great importance. Also after all that is done, the relationship goes to the next level in the stage of sex. Having sex before marriage lets the couple know how how much they really love each other and how much they are willing to commit to each other. In a sense it tests us on how much we value sex and what factor it plays in our life. And if we don't pass the test in avoiding adultery, it was never meant to be with that person, so how can a couple get married if sex and passion got the best of them to steer them toward someone else?

To conclude, although you could say I'm going against my religion, it doesn't mean that I don't have faith. A lot of the "rules" that we have to abide by sometimes do seem unreasonable, in order to understand love and all the goodness that it brings, I really don't think marriage is enough to keep someone faithful.

In no ways am I encouraging premarital sex, especially on advicenators with teeny-boppers running around having sex with their semi-erect penises, but what I am saying is that before sex comes commitment, loyalty, devotion, understanding, civility, and vice versa. But I do believe that before marriage comes sex. Why because marriage is the highest level that a couple can go through to show their love toward one another for all of eternity, and how can you reach the highest level without sharing everything of yourself to your soulmate, including your most prized possession?

I apologize if I come off a little bias, but that isn't my intention at all. I'm not promoting anything, nor am I objectifying "sex before marriage." Those couples who are able to succeed through this lifestyle, I admire you, I really do. Especially in a society that is centered around sex nowadays. But I would like to know the opinions of others to better understand this controversial subject.

Thanks and sorry for the long read! I hope to hear a lot of responses!

Why should you have to follow a set of rules set down by somebody else. You should believe what you believe and not what some book or a priest tells you. Marriage is just a word, and other than the tax write-offs it gives you these days it is pretty meaningless. If you love somebody marriage should not have to be an issue on you deciding wheter you should have sex or not.
I dont believe in god, but from what I understand, its your body and not his and you use it to make your own mistakes and expiriences. You should not be ruled by some really old mistranslated book.
As for protection, god says "be fruitful and multiply" so that could mean that protection is not allowed.

i am a 6 ft 15 yr old female and i was just wondering, is being tall a turn off? i have a thin frame and get called 'hot' sometimes, so excluding looks is being tall a bad thing? through a mutual friend i have with my brother i found out what my brothers mates were saying about me 'imagine having sex with bozzas sister what a tall freak forget that I'd rather have sex with bozza' (LOL, note: that was the cleaned up version)

Some guys feel intimidated when their girlfriends are taller than them.

every time i try to burn my music onto a blank cd-r cd using windows media player, when i click copy it says "insert blank cd-r" and i DID insert a BLANK CD-R, and it IS in the right drive, but it still doesnt recognize it. why, and what can i do?

Well your first problem is using media player.
Next, maybe you dont have a cd burner???
Finally maybe the disk has something on it or, the amount you want to burn on to the disk is too big.

Hey, sorry if this is confusing. But yeah, since it's lent, I have to go to confession today. And I know I've sinned, everyone does, but I just can't think of anything to say. Can someone help me? Is there anything I should tell him? I just can't think of anything. Thanks!

Why do you HAVE TO go???
Are you saying that the church is so pessimistic that they believe everybody must have sinned within the last x amount of days.
Impure thoughts is usually an easy one, people get those a lot.

Hi, i love going on the computer and making nicknames but i always need to use an e-mail adress. My aunt has one but i hate using hers on things that she doesnt know abuot cuz she doesnt like me to. And she wont let me have my own, is making up fake ones bad? Can i get arrested or anything ?

Yes, you can get thrown to jail for 100000000 years.
Usually they dont even check if the email is real or not, and why is it illegal? You dont want spam so you dont give them your real email, you dont have to if you do want to.

I purchased a pair of jeans off ebay on February 19, 2005. When they arrived, I was dissatisfied with them and requested a refund. On March 6, the person emailed me back saying they recieved the jeans and would send me a refund the next morning. After a week later, I emailed them back asking where the refund was. They said they never recieved the jeans. I emailed back saying I did send them the jeans. Today, I got an email from ebay saying I never sent payment! How is this possible if I recieved the jeans and requested a refund??? It's almost a month since I purchased these jeans and the refund isn't here! What do I do?

Complain to ebay.
Send them all the paperwork you have.

Ok, say I have a friend who I can't see anymore and they want to see how my band is coming and even want to see it on video. I thought it would be easy if I just uploaded a video from a camera to my comp and put it on some hosting site or sent it to them, but..... one tihng is I dont have a camera, nor know what kind to use, and then if I could borrow one, I don't know how to upload it to my computer and send it? Any computer know-alls out there?

If the camera borrowed is digital, then it should be really simple, and you should be able to connect it to a usb cord.
Then ofcourse you need to convert it to avi (or wmv/asf or rm depending on how fast your connection is). And send. Find a friend with some computer skills because this is a bit advanced for novices.
