Dude, doesn't it sound totally weird when a chick says it?

They should get their own word.

I've heard lots of stories about people committing suicide on webcam but I can't seem to find any videos on the net. Is it ILLEGAL to watch them or something?

I am giving a presentation and the only material I have so far is from the Red Cross participant's manual (4th ed). I have 13 slides on the presentation so far but most of them are pictures; any input with sources would be appreciated.

I was taught that if I ever think about killing myself I should tell someone immediately, but if I tell someone I'll have to go into therapy or something, and that's expensive. Or else, they'll stick me on pills which- to me- is worse than dying. At least if I kill myself I know its me doing it. If I'm on drugs I could never know if I was the one doing or thinking my thoughts or if it was the drugs they put me on.

Atoms? Protons? Neutrons? Electrons? Quarks? Gluons? Photons? Anything I haven't heard of yet?

I found this article and have no idea what its talking about.

The website says that the cash game is $3-$6 blinds, but doesn't say what the minimum buy-in is. Does anyone know?

Try and follow me on this one- you're in the future where Douglas Adams' vision of the infinite improbability drive has become a reality. There is a device which, when activated, allows you to pass through every point in space-time simultaneously and can therefore go anywhere and any when.

Now look where you are now. You're sitting in front of your computer thinking about the future. It stands to reason that- if you were to activate this infinite improbability drive- it would be here, at this moment, in this place as well. But what would it look like? Would you know it if you saw it? Did you accidentally drink it? Is it that little rock bouncing around in your shoe that has no logical reason for being there?

The problem isn't inventing the IID then, its about being able to recognize and utilize it since- if its ever going to exist and is ever going to be used- then it is here right now.

If you accelerate to the speed of light your mass is supposed to become infinite (or so says the Einstein)

But if your mass was infinite you wouldn't be "you" would you? A hydrogen atom, for example, would cease to be a hydrogen atom and would just be light or radiation right? So how can you say the atom ever accelerated to light speed? It never got there because once it WAS at light speed it wasn't what it was anymore!

I imagine that when you accelerate a hydrogen atom to light speed it has such force behind it (F = MA) that it collides with the very fabric of space-time (ie superstrings) then ceases to exist in this plane. It gets ripped into another dimension, and is replaced- via some kind of interdimensional vaccuum process- with energy.

Please, begin pointing out all the logical flaws in my thinking.

If he rose out of a hole in the ground in front of you all like "Whazzap!?!? It's me, Satan!"

Recently, California assemblyman Tom Ammiano proposed his bill AB390 which would legalize marijuana for commercial sale for persons over the age of 21. Since its proposal in the assembly I have not heard any other assemblyman's opinion on the matter nor has anyone called for a vote on the bill. What is keeping this bill tangled up? What hasn't a vote happened?

I'm getting laid off from my job at a liquor store because the owners (who by the way own 2 other businesses and didn't offer me a job at either one) sold the store and the new owners want to hire on their own staff. As a result, I am left jobless. There's not really anything I can do about it, since I would never want to work for these people ever again anyway. That is why I need an idea of something big to go out on so I can at least be legendary.

What's the minimum raise I should recieve?

After a 1 year evaluation, I was given a 6% raise, which ultimately amounts to me netting ten more dollars at the end of each week.

I'm wondering if I should consider this acceptible... I work the closing shift alone at a liquor store near an onramp in a city and I'm making only 50 cents more per hour versus when this was a two person job. Should I be complaining to someone about this?

has anyone seen this video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6215606935...

and if so, how could you possibly disagree with his final statement (about both possibilities as equally feasible)?

I guess this isn't the place to have an opinion, because every time someone disagrees with my perspective on the world or on religions I suddenly get a onslaught of thumbs downs.

Why must you have a problem with someone thinking differently than you? So I say the Catholic church is elitist, or I say that a lot of Atheists are snobby, or that God is a Flying Spaghetti Monster... Why does that warrant negative energy? Haven't you ever heard of agreeing to disagree?

A lot of Theists get flak for "Not thinking for themselves" by Atheists. I would like to put forth the question: How many of you out there are thinking for yourselves?

To you Yahwists: Do you read the Bible and interpret it for yourself, or do you base your faith on what someone else tells you the book says?

Atheists: Are you really considering alternate theories of the functions of the universe, or do you simply have a grudge with religions?

How many people out there are trying to explain the universe for themselves, and how many of you are accepting someone else's explanation?
