* a petty thought just struck me... being Buddhist, i was wondering would I rather have 10 mean and nasty Buddhist in my community or 10 kindly and noble Non-believers of my faith? After a bit of consideration I think I prefer to have the latter.

1. What about you guys and girls of various faiths in the R+S... would you rather have 10 nasty believers of your faith ( christians, taoists, buddhists, muslim, catholics, hindu etc etc ) or 10 kindly non-believers ( atheists or individuals of other faiths and belief systems?) living in and around your community?

2. I understand that this is just at best a hypothetical question, as no one is either all good nor all bad... but my question here is based on the general norm and mean. Say... 10 Mother Teresa-like people or 10 Hitler-like people for example...

thx for entertaining my curiousity.

I have an old desktop Comp that uses a Pentium Celeron processor and does not have USB. The mouse and stuff are also non-USB. I was about to trade it in, but a children's home requested to have and I will be donating it to them

1. Is there a way to copy out the files I need from my old comp to an external HD when it doesn't have a USB port? My external drive uses USB

2. Is it better for me to format the drive and install everything new after I back up my files? ( I would like to give the home a good running comp and not a fuzzy-buzzy one )

Thanks Everyone for your help

p/s: My knowledge in computers are at best retarded... so I hope you can reply me as if I was 6 years old. :) ( ah youth...wishful thinking hehe )

As i am not Hindu... whats the proper decorum when visiting a Hindu temple or a Festival Ceremony like the DUrga Puja?

My car battery is about 2 years old, how often does one need to change it?

My car is a tiny car about the size of Mr. Bean's Mini

... Or does it have to be a regular cd-r in order for the burner to burn a vcd? and a dvd-r to burn dvds?

Thank you everyone

I have often heard of White Wine sauce for Pasta or Chicken Medallions...

Is there such a thing as a Red Wine Sauce or Dip?

He has teary eyes on only one eye, no puss, no redness on the eye itself but the outer eye area looks a little pink, he is able to eat and go poopie regularly. And he will allow me to wipe his eye with a damp cotton to clean off some of the tears

I am unable to bring him to the vet yet for another 2 days, in the meantime I hope i can do something to help him as I was told cats usually don't make noises when they are in pain unless its severe...

I hope someone can give some temp tips... Thanks a million for your help

Very Worried

Tia

I am a little concerned, one of my close friends and colleagues is on a dietar/weight loss meds that is called Phentermine or branded Duramin. As it sounded a bit like Meth, the dangerous party drug I am concerned if my friend is moving herself onto a dangerous road.

1. Is Phentermine the same as Methamphetamine or Amphetamine?

2. Is it an addictive, hallucigenic drug?

Any added info would be MUCH appreciated.

Thank you all for your time and info.

I saw on National Geographic Channel yesterday the above mentioned prog, and it opened my eyes to many many many aspects of Islam that i never really thought of, especially the prophet's last and final sermon where he encouraged his people to be good to each other and especially the part about forgetting vengence.

Question: Why is the teachings of so many extremist groups so different from the Prophet's message of peace?

2. Isn't Brother Muslim killing Brother Muslim equal to blaspheme of the porphet's words? ( eg. Shitte, Sunni conflict)

3. If the Prophet and ancient muslims were so forgiving of the Meccans when he had entered... how come our modern ones are so cruel?

Thank you.

p/s: for those muslims who havent watched this documentary, it is worth a watch, very inspiring program about your great Prophet ( I am not muslim though )

There is a form of Tara that is called the Victory Tara... I forgot the name of that Tara anyone knows?

I had recently loaned one of my costumes to a colleague of mine, but unfortunately for me, she sweats a lot and now my costume has as smell that i cannot get rid of even after laundering.

Help please? Thanks y'all

I came across some pasta at an italian restaurant near my place and also some bread at a bakery that uses squid ink in its recipe/preparation... Question:

1. Does Squid Ink have any medicinal or nutritional value?

2. If yes, what are they?

Thank you

I love passing pet shops and looking at the pups and kitties at the window... but today an alarming thought came to me. What happens to them when they get a little too "old" to attract young kids with their "cuteness". Any present or previous pet shop owners/employees out there have any idea? Thanks

There was news on Yahoo that there was a male rape case being investigated, I did a quick search and it made me wonder, why are male rape cases usually brushed aside, ignored or put on lowest priority?

Are the criminals of such cases always men or are both possible?

Diwali is the festival of lights, what is Thaipusam?

I am still using one of those traditional heavy weight metallic irons, but I find ironing stains on the flat iron part kinda "ironed in", whats the best way to remove those stains that it doesnt transfer to my clothes?

1. Why not egg whites?

2. Do they get a cholestoral problem if fed too much eggs? ( coz was told egg yolks nourishes cats to have a beautiful shiny coat )

3. Can they eat Cheese? ( my kitty likes to pillage my cheddar slices when I am not looking, I usually laugh so hard at his cleverness and antics that I just cannot bring myself to scold him :))

- without resorting to toxic chemicals and sprays.

- or at least minimise the use of chemicals

a few muslim friends celebrating this...
