There's no button for minimize. There's just an X to close iTunes and a box to switch back to regular mode. Nothing happens when I left click iTunes in the task bar. When I right click it, there's no option to minimize.

I'm using Windows 7 Professional.

When I was 14 years old I met a girl online named Kara. We became friends playing a video game and chatting through MSN. I liked everything about her. I wanted to be everything for her, but I couldn't. I hated myself and all that I was, so I lied. About my name, my personality, my appearance when we traded pictures. Eventually when she found out she was devastated, and still I was reluctant to give up the facade I had created. I continued to lie, perhaps to an even greater extent. I don't know if I can ever overcome my deceitful nature. I've lost the real me and I wonder if I've ever been true in my life. I am empty and I'm not okay. I don't deserve your forgiveness, I guess I just want to say, I'm sorry for the way I am.

I know that War = Sensou, and God = Kami.

How do you say "War of Gods" or "Gods of War"?

I am wondering if entomologists (or anyone else knowledgeable in this area) can explain to me how and why thousands of cicadas sing and stop singing all at once like an orchestra. I don't believe they have a leader, so I suspect it is an instance of emergence.

I've been somewhat bothered by this since I was a kid. Does free will really exist? And if it does, what exactly is it?

An example would be history. If we rewinded to some point in time, say, 10 years ago, and let things play out again, would everything happen the exact same way? Would the bombing of 911 still have occurred? If the answer to this is yes, then destiny would be proven and free will would be false. It would imply that everything plays in exactly one way and everyone is destined to be... whatever they are in the future.

In that sense, it feels like we are simply experiencing a movie of our own lives, given the false sense of freedom, but in actuality, our fates are already written in stone...

I was just wondering, are murderers, thieves, and in general, evil-doers going to hell?

If they are, why? Most psychotic criminals were simply programmed to commit evil by their brain, they can't help it. Some have mental problems, others suffered from trauma, some simply lack all sympathy for other beings because of the way their brains function. All these details aren't exactly their own faults, in fact, such imperfections were designed by the Lord.

If they are going to Hell, I don't understand. Why would God punish people for the way he made them? That seems ridiculous and unfair.
