  • What happens if you delete system 32? or Local Disk C? Or 'My computer'?

    I know this is a terrible idea but I am curious as to what happens. Does it actually delete your computer or your entire hard drive? Wouldn't this violate the conservation laws of matter/energy?

  • What do feminists, atheists and gay activists have in common?

    What is it about them that makes their style of getting their point across so confrontational, aggressive and annoying?

    I am not here to debate the validity of their opinions, but a lot of people have agreed that they are very bigoted in their speech and behaviour. I was wondering what it is they all have in common that causes or describes this.

  • Why can rappers sing explicitly about doing drugs, killing people and committing crimes, without repurcussion?

    And furthermore how can bodybuilders admit to using illegal steroids during interviews and still be protected? And by the way there was a lyrics where tupac basically says "And this isn't just rapping, I'm actually going to kill yo ***".

    Any relevant statutes/precedents, as well as the rationalisation behind them?

  • Can dogs smile? Does anyone have proof?

    Can dogs smile? The other week my wife was out shopping and I took a sick day from work.

    Since the wife was out I took advantage of the situation to watch some adult movies on the wide screen with surround sound on. So I was doing my thing and in walks our Golden retriever (I won't say his name for privacy reasons), who then just barks and sits on the carpet with his face alternating between me and the tv screen. (do dogs have faces? do you call it that when it's on a dog?)

    Anyway he seemed to look different than usual, and I was wondering if he was actually smiling? Can dogs even smile? Now whenever my wife isn't around and I'm watching regular tv, my dog comes in and starts barking and hassling me unless there is something sensual on the screen. Does this also mean my dog might be gay/a pervert? Should I be concerned for his soul? Are there special clergy who specialise in absolving a canine of their sins? I've never been that religious but since we got him as a puppy he has shown certain religious inclinations that I am willing to respect as part of his individuality.

    Please help!!!

  • Is it bad to masturbate a dog?

    So the other week I caught my 8 year old son playing with our dog. He is pretty innocent but when I saw him he was tugging on the dog's you-know-what and there was sticky stuff in its fur. I explained to him that he shouldn't do this but when he asked why I couldn't really think of a reason. Is it bad for my dog/son's health? Also is it illegal and could my son get sent to juvenile detention?

    Please I need advice

  • Always adjusting my crotch, no-one else seems to do it (I'm a guy). How do I get comfortable?

    A few people have commented that they frequently witness the unsightly act of me 'adjusting my crotch'. It's kind of like fixing a front wedgie, except it's usually just that everything gets moved to one side. It happens often and is pretty uncomfortable; and I'd like to stop needing to adjust myself in public.

    Im not sure whether it's the undies I wear, they generally have enough room and I can't recall if I also have this issue when I walk around without pants on. One of my balls is a bit larger than the other, Im thinking this might have something to do with it.

    Anyway, I wanna know how many other people have this same problem, and if anyone knows how to fix it. Thanks.

  • What is nice to mix with Bacchus 'Cowboy Smoothie'?

    I've got a full bottle. On it's own it makes me feel sick after awhile. It's nice with icecream, but I'm looking for something fairly easy to mix it with so I can finish it.

  • How do I get my hair to look good?

    I have been trying to grow my hair out a bit, it's probably medium length now. The problem is it looks silly if I have shampooed and conditioned it that day, but looks pretty good and a bit textured 1 or 2 days after. This sucks because my scalp gets itchy and a bit dandruffy, so Im asking if any of you know a way to wash my hair and get that same effect. I've tried using soap before but it made my hair dry and abrasive to touch.

  • Does Australia have any equivalent to USA's Police Blotters? Can they be found online?

    A police blotter from my understanding is basically a summary of the police force's daily activities, such as arrests that were made and stuff like that. They are usually found in newspapers, but I don't read the paper so I was wondering if there was an online equivalent for NSW, Australia, or even one in the papers.

  • Highest standard drinks per dollar?

    Hi. I'm on holidays with my girlfriend's family and need to plan a party. There will be a lot of people and we are supplying the drinks (and checking ID). I was wondering what alcohol has the highest volume of alcohol proportional to it's price (i.e. 12 standard drinks - $13.99). It needs to be something I can find at just about any store.

    Please include:

    - The name of the drink

    - The taste

    - The price

    - Amount of standard drinks

    - Where it can be found (and if possible, a link to the product's page on the website)

  • What part of a guy's body do girls pay most attention to?

    I was just wondering what parts girls pay most attention to, or judge a guy's appearance by on first meeting them. Im talking about the face, and this is when they are wearing clothes (or at least pants).

    The reason I am asking is because I have what I think is a big bum, and I know most girls are supposed to prefer guys with small (but not flat) bums.

    Also I've started doing squats recently build my leg muscles, and I know running/cycling is great for the shape of your bum, but are there any other excercises that help?

  • My throat has been bleeding for around 12 hours, am I in danger?

    Last night at about 10:30pm I vomited due to excessive drinking the previous night. It was thick and chunky, so it wasn't easy. Shortly after-wards i noticed that when I spit in the sink there was some blood. I assumed this was due to the violent vomiting, however it is now the next day at 2:30pm, and i still see blood in my spit.

    Could this be something serious? How long can I expect this to continue for?

    ...and no i did not do anything of a sexual nature that night.

  • How can you persuade a friend to quit smoking purely for the social convenience?

    I've met a lot of teenagers who smoke and have confessed (some reluctantly) that they smoke because it assists them socially. This is usually either hanging out with acquaintances or even total strangers, or to pick up girls at clubs etc.

    It shows they are probably using it as a crutch for a lack of confidence or some sort of insecurity. In the past with friends enduring similar issues, and I have tried encouraging their belief in their own ability, and in my most frustrated times even ridiculing them for needing to poison themselves to make friends.

    NOTE:

    - I am not interested in debating the health issues arising from smoking, it is somewhat irrelevant to today's apathetic and cynical teens.

    - Do not tell me "MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS IT'S THEIR CHOICE" or "Bro, just let them deal with the consequences, it's not your fault", or anything along those lines. I am not interested, i care about these people probably more than they care about their own health. When people make mistakes, they often don't realise until the consequences set in.
