I am a 50+ female and I need ideas on how to respond politely to people who disrespect our President by calling him the N word. I get angrier every time I hear it and one of these days I'm going to blow like dynomite. (link)
|
You can always say that "Right now you are inferior because that n***** is the President so I wonder what that makes you". The opposite party should realize that they can't belittle someone that's above them because they are below that person. My advice is not to curse and explode, our current President has a wide enough support in the public so an individual's oppinion doesn't really matter.
I'm glad to see more support for the new administration :)

Ok, I have an HP Laptop with Vista installed. Now when I search for songs (any) on LimeWire nothing appears. Also when I try and download songs from free mp3 sites just half of the song downloads. Is there a problem with my laptop or is it just something else. PS-I can dowload other files normally (like games and stuff). Do you know anywhere I can get free mp3s from? Thanx a bunch. (link)

Try connecting to another network and then downloading. If that doesn't work, try downloading through another browser such as Firefox. If that also doesn't work, try downloading from another website - this whole problem may be coming from the website you're trying to download from. If the problem keeps going on even in other sites, than I suggest that you reinstall the operational system and if you actually decide to do that, you might want to directly downgrade to Windows XP because the fact that you have Vista may also be the problem (trust me, you'll save a lot of grief, rarely anyone likes Vista, google some of the discussions on it and you'll see what I'm talking about).

So two years ago I met this guy who I really liked, and he liked me too. We became really good friends but something happened and we drifted apart. At the beginning of this year we started talking again. He told me he liked me, and I told him I liked him. But he has a girlfriend. (at the time I had a boyfriend but he dumped me after a few weeks) So the guys not any random to me, hes also like, my best friend now. But I didnt know what to do. I didnt want to wait for him because that wasnt fair on me. But I didnt want to make him choose "her or me" because that wasnt fair on him. I also didnt want to get with somebody else because Id always be thinking of THAT GUY and that wouldnt be fair on the person Id be with. So I was extremely confused. We had a few arguments over the subject and the boy would get annoyed when I mentioned other guys, but nothing ever really changed.
I went on holiday for a week and the guy rung me and text me. He told me how it was gonna be nice when Id get back. Then on the last night of holiday I was talking to this older man about him. He told me how no guys worth it, how if this boy really did like me as much as he should he wouldnt be with his girlfriend. It doesnt matter how many problems he has I should make him choose her or me. He also said 'What do you think of yourself?" like, implying that I must have a low opinion of myself to wait around for him, when Im worth so much more than that.
I thought about everything the guy said and the next day when I got back, ye, I suppose I was acting a little differently. And then all the guy was speaking about was his girlfriend. NON STOP. It hurt me, so I decided that we should stop talking all together, that I would erase him from my life. So I deleted every bit of contact I had with him last night. He was a bit upset about it the night before, but last night he didnt seem to give a toss.
It really hurts me because Ive wasted so much time on him, Ive given him the best of me. Ive never told him this, but I love him. I seriously do. Im not one of them girls who say I LOVE YOU to every guy Im in a relationship with, the word actually has meaning to me. Now Ive lost him and Im lost. Its okay for him, hes got his stupid girlfriend to go back to. He told me how he needed me and he didnt know what he'd do without me. Well hes lost me now and last night he acted happy about it, is that how he really feels? All I want to do is cry. Ive lost this guy who meant so much to me. I don't know if I've done the right thing here, I dont want to feel this way anymore, its so heartbreaking, disturbing, confusing, depressing... etc. I want to be happy and I done this to be happy but at the moment Im the total opposite. It just seems like its impossible to be happy without him.
Im only 15 years old so Ive got the rest of my life to find someone else, but Ive never met anyone like him... I dont know what to do. I dont know if Ive made the right choice... was it really for the best?
(Sorry for going on a bit) (link)

Altough the first advice is good, I think that you should also be wary. The way I see it, he didn't really care that you erased him, he was just dissappointed and "a little bit upset". It sounds to me like he was considering you as a fallback. If things don't work between him and his girlfriend, you're always there and he is almost certain that you like him. Now, I am NOT saying I'm right, I do not know you personally to tell, I'm just thinking of a possibility that might be. I wish you good luck!
P.S. From the simple fact that you have so much troubles because of your love for him should push you towards a healthier relationship, because you're young and, I'm certain, really pretty, you shouldn't hurt your heart but look for a relationship that actually makes you happy.

We have to do a project in English about what we think best represents America or the "American spirit." I decided that I am going to do it on the soldiers in Iraq because they are fighting for what is right for our country. We have to right about a page and a half paper and have some kind of visual.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I can write or what my visual can be? I love being creative with posters. (link)

You can use that song "Citizen Soldier" from the group 3 Doors Down. Look it up in youtube. If not, the sentences you see in the video that keep popping up are actual quotes from letters written by soldiers, you might consider using those. It's like showing their dedication and loyalty to the US.

my graduation from 8th grade is coming up and so is my birthday. I have a good cellphone camera and ipod. i cant think of anything I might want . not clothes money or gift cards. whats some cool stuff out now? any ideas are appreciated. thanks. (link)

You might want to think about asking your parents for a laptop. It doesn't have to be too expensive. On TigerDirect, there are good laptops for around $600, as long as you know what you're looking at. Also, if your parents aren't too keen on the idea, you can tell them that it's the present for both your graduation and birthday. When you get to highschool, you're gonna have to write a lot more papers on the computer and do a lot more research so you cramping up the computer in your house might reduce their time on it. There are a lot of highschoolers in my city that have laptops and study in a cafe somewhere where they are abe to connect to the internet. Studying home is usually dull and boring. You can make study groups outside while having a drink and having access to a laptop. Hope I helped!
Otherwise, When asking what "some cool stuff are now", I think that mostly, technical appliances (ipods, cell phones, blueberries and all that) are considered to be the coolest.

I need some help on math. I have made the sketches already. I need up setting up the integrals, mainly. I can solve the math from there.
Disk and Washer Method Unit
Make a sketch and show integral.
1. Find the area bounded by the curves: http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/3852/number1oi6.png
a. Rotate this area around the x-axis (means find volume of solid formed)
2. Find area bounded by the curves: http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/8542/number2ms5.png
a. Rotate this area about x-axis (means find volume of solid formed)
b. Rotate this area about the y-axis (means find volume of solid formed)
The integrals have limits and u-substitution can be used.
Thank you! (link)

For the first one, it's kinda self explanatory, although it would have been easier if I could show it to you on a piece of paper. The integral when rotating around whichever axis is always multiplied by a pie (that 3.14 thingy,sorry, don't have it on the keyboard). The main formula is (pie)*S(r)^2dx. The bing "S" is the integral. Your r is always the function already given to you. So that would make it: 3.14*S(e^(x/2)+e^(-x/2))dx and you're integrating it in the interval (-1;2) because they tell you that there are two vertical lines cutting the graph into only one piece that you can rotate around the x-axis. My keyboard doesn't really allow me to put the (-1;2) on the "S" but as you know, -1 goes under the S and 2 goes above the S. From there, you can do it alone (as you already said)
Now, whoa!!!, the second one is a pretty big one, so take a deep breath:
a) If you have a calculator, graph all five of the graphs and you'll see a figure bounded by all five of them that looks like a chair, kinda, at least to me, so what you'll have to do is set up 3 integrals for part a) of the problem but first we'll find the interval at which you'll be integrating. It's different for every integral. Our first integral will be 3.14*S(-x+6)^2dx and you integrate it from x=0 to x=2 because that's where it tells you it exists. The second integral will be 3.14*S(4)^2dx and you integrate it from 2 to 4 (you're tracing the chair now if you can see that), the last integral will 3.14*S(-(x-4)^2+4)^2dx and you integrate it from 4 to 6. Now add all three results you got and you have the volume.
b) Now around the y-axis means you have to turn around the picture of the graph 90 degrees to make it more comfortable.Your first integral will be y=0 to y=4 (this time we're looking at y because we're rotating around the y-axis). You can of course see the graph of y=-(x-4)^2+4 but you have to turn it in terms of x, meaning that in terms of x, the equation would be x=(4-y)^(1/2)+4. Now you first integral is 3.14*S((4-y)^(1/2)+4)^2dy and you integrate from 0 to 4. Your second integral will be integrated in the interval from 4 to 6. The equation (y=-x+6) again has to be in terms of x, meaning x=6-y.
So you second integral would be 3.14*S(6-y)^2dy and you integrate it from 4 to 6. Add the two results together and that should be your answer. I really do hope you managed to get something from all of this, cause without a piece of paper and me actually showing it to you there, I think that in your place, I would never have gotten it through the net. Hope I helped, if you have any questions, ask me :)

I can only give you advice for your lips cause I think that everything else is perfect. Of course, you can use eye liner and shadows on your eyes but be careful not to overexaggerate it. Now lips, use a lipgloss that provides more volume. Something that's not really colorful cause you already have colored lips, something transparent but glossy that says on the label that it adds volume. Hope I helped :)

another girl asked this question and she described the movie so well, i was interested in seeing it. so what is this movie called?
"Okay i really need to know the name of this movie. I probably saw it like 5 years ago. Ive already tried to search it. All i remember is that used to be friends with this girl but than the girl saw her boyfriend having sex with the other girl in this barn. but really she was getting rape. So the group of friends decide now to get back at her. They attack her in the movies parking lot and hurt her pretty badly.The girl decides to go back and live wiht her dad and get away from all of it.One of the last scenes is when her mom gets called into work but its really the group of friends pretending to be her boss. After her mom leaves they break into the house and strangle her and kill her. The mom goes to work and finds out she hasn;t been called in and rushes home to find her daughter lying on the ground dying. Her mom asks her who did it and she says "Danielle." the girl is than convicted of murder. Thats all i know pretty much and i really need to know the name of the movie. No websites to help me look for it. Thanks for reading this too! :)" (link)

The movie you're talking about is a short story based on a true event. We saw it during health class. It's called "The Stalking of Laurie Show" so you might want to google it or check it on YouTube. Honestly, I hope I got your answer right. :)

Ive tried putting drops in my eyes for my contacts.
Thanks so much!

Same happened to me but it tunred out that I was allergic to the place I was at - different nature, air and all that. My eyes were irritated.
When I went to the doctor's it turned out that because from where I'm coming from, I lived in the big city where there wasn't much nature so I never was allergic during the spring. Now, in the USA, I live in Bethesda, where the air is really pure and there are a lot of trees and flowers growing around. During the spring, they start flowering and the trees let off this green dusty thing (don't know what it is) and you can barely see it but it's killing me. My eyes start burning and it's like I haven't slept for days. They're just highly sensitive. What I was told, is that because I have lived my whole life in a different place where EVERYIONE is a smoker and it's more polluted ,my immune system never had to deal with the greeny thingy. They told me that because I'm going to be staying here, I'll just have to deal with it or something (take pills probably) and wait it out. Who knows, maybe after a couple of years I wouldn't be reacting to it that badly. Overall, it's just the change of the surroundings, you never know. Maybe you're reacting to something that you've never experienced where you live. It doesn't have to be that green dusty thingy I told you about. Hope you get better though :)

I sometimes get cat calls, or get honked at or looked at. i was wondering, what is the best way to react to it? I always just keep walking, pretending i didn't hear it. I don't get flattered by any of this because i know guys would do this to any girl they see pass by...right? how do you usually react when this happens to you? am i reacting the way they want me to? (link)
| |
This is very interesting,I get honked at all the time. What I do is complete ignorance and/or say that I'm a lesbian and all that if I want to avoid someone. I always carry a knife with me but I don't suggest you do that cause you're 15 and I'm 18 and there's a difference in that. No, don't be flattered.Be flattered when someone of stance or someone important to you honks at you and says you're pretty. If you get honked at all the time than that means that you dress and/or act easy. If you get honked at not so much than that means you're fine. And what do you mean "am i reacting the way they want me to?" Do you really care that much of their opinion cause if you really wanted to react the way they wanted you to than you would have looong lost your purity... if you have it now I mean.

Is it possible for two people to be 100% honest with each other?I mean,to be able to tell each other EVERYTHING(and I really mean everything),and to trust each other unconditionally? I would really like any opinions on this. Thanks =] (link)

Think about this - you're not specifying about the two people being a boyfriend and girlfriend. If we're not limiting the answer to only them, than consider twins. That should say a lot. I have one and honestly we don't hide anything from each other. We tell ourselves our flaws, good and bad points. Because we know we would never be mad at each other for anything the other says, we don't care how harsh the truth is and are completely honest to each other. There are times when we spend so much time together and have almost nothing to say to each other so we just tell what we did that same day, who we met and how we felt. It's like retelling my whole life so she knows everything that I did. I've even asked her a couple of times, "Do we even have secrets from each other?" and she always says toughtfully "I don't think so, If I remember something you don't know, I'll tell you what it is". But keep in mind, not all twins are like that. What I learned when I came to the USA is that when twins arrive at elementary school, the teachers purposfully seperate them into different classes so they almost never interact. They consider it unhealthy to be so close to someone because than they wouldn't be socially active with the other kids. So it's rare to meet a set of twins that close. Me, I'm not from the USA originaly and Europe doesn't care about stuff like that so when they wanted not to see us together in the same classes and doing the proects in the same group, I was 16, and completely pissed at them. Anyways, they couldn't do anything because we were just a little bit too old for them to impose whatever kind of control. It is possible for two people to have a completely honest relationship, but it would be most likely met between siblings. Friendships never do last long and there's always going to be at least one little secret.

My best friend has been dating a guy for almost two months now. Most of her friends, including myself, get a "creep" vibe from him. He comes off as a guy who just wants to get in her pants. Plus, he's really controlling over her. Sometimes I do think he genuinely cares for her but I'm not sold on it.
So, he told her that he'd quit smoking pot when they first started going out, but one day he came to pick her up (she was too drunk to really function).. AND THE DUDE WAS HIGH!!! after he told her he quit smoking! my friend told her about it, and now he hates the girl! For telling on him..
Anyways, I saw him yesterday and he was stoned off his ass again.
My question is: SHOULD I TELL HER OR NOT???
I'm concerned because if he's lying about this and can't keep a promise, who knows what else he could be keeping from her? I don't want to be a tattle-tale because she will tell him that I saw. then he'll hate me. ugh. Plus, it's not my business, but I care about her. The last guy she was with screwed her over too. She's a really naive girl.
My concern is that we'll be roommates next year and I don't want her bf and I to have problems. That could compromise our friendship.
So.. should I tell her or not? (link)
|
Really depends on the friend. Think about it, how much do you know her? If you honestly believe by knowing her behaviour that she wouldn't get mad at you, than tell her eye to eye. I would always want my friend to tell me if my boyfriend was lying to me. If you think that she would start hating you or something than send her an anonymous e-mail or letter written by somebody else with the fewest sentences possible. That may not make her believe it but it would at least open her eyes a little and make her doubtful so she could pay more attention to what's going on around her.
Here's what I would do, but that's me. If she was going to be my roommate and I knew that she could get mad at me for telling her about her cheating boyfriend than I wouldn't care and dump the bitc* (no offense, that's only me). My philosophy is this - no matter what happens, friends just come and go, you can't stop it. Life can rarely keep a friendship intact. But right now this is YOUR life and you should be spending your young years happily. I wouldn't want my life to go downhill and for me to be stressed just because someone else has a problem with his/her relationship and he/she doesn't want to accept the truth. I just don't deal with naive people. I also wouldn't want to live with someone if that would make me unhappy (the boyfriend coming over). But that's only me, and sometimes I'm considered to be a really bitc*y and mean person. I just don't float into clouds.
Anyways, I hope I helped a little.

Ok This is my first year of high school. In my old school, I was the top and was almsot a perfect student and now that i'm in high school, there's just so many smart people that i feel average and stupid! All my new friends that i've made have averages in their classes in the 90's while I'm struggling to stay at my 81 average in my classes or stay at the 80's!
There's this REALLY blond girl in one of my classes. And i know that it sounds stereotyping but she's like how it is in the movies when they exxagerate things with bimbos: blond, hip clothes, make up, high voice, dumb personality. But i found out that the only person in that class that has a 90 average is HER!
I am shocked beyond compare! She barely tries her work and if it's something big, she'll remember it at the last minute but doesn't try that hard on it and gets in her 90s while i try hard, go straight home after school, and focuse my life all around school and I'm trying to keep my grades at the 80s!
Is there any tips or advice you can give me to get into the 90s without so much hard work like how she's doing it? I even focuss in class and recheck my work before I hand them in, I just don't get how my average isn't as high as i want it and hers is so high beyond imagine! (link)

Some people are just better at studying than others. If she's not even giving that much time on studies than it means that she's just better at remembering. You can't really do anything about that. But here's what helped me. Be observant. Every teacher has a pattern. If your teachers constistently stay the same and you don't change them, you would be able to understand what really counts for them and what not. Every teacher has a different grading system and for every teacher, different assignments have different importance. For example, my spanish teacher always gives us homework but when the homework is a text and questions on this text than I know that on the next day we would have a small quiz on it. If the homework's not a text but anything else, she won't give us a quiz. She never says if there's going to be a quiz and she never said that she always gives quizes after a text for a homework but the pattern continues. Also, look at what is graded as a completion grade and what is not. For example, I know that my chemistry teacher grades the written labs based on completion although she has never said it. Now, writing a lab takes a lot of time if you want it to be good, but I don't spend that much time on it, because I know she won't even read it. Instead, I spend the time on studying something else.
