I get that when you're first starting off you need labels to distribute, promote, and lend legitimacy to the artist. But once an artist gets popular, what's the point of record labels other than stealing the musicians money? Couldn't they just distribute their own music via the internet?

I don't understand how teams can so easily trade huge play makers for low draft picks.

-Brandon Marshall and Darren Sproles were both traded for fifth round picks

I get sometimes you need to unload players because of salary, age, and locker room concerns, but why let these pro-bowlers go for picks you know won't net you a starter?

As in, pretty much every frat/sorority has a message like 'We exist to promote individual growth, service, and blah blah blah' yet all many Greek orgs do is drink and smoke pot (I am a Greek member so I know not all orgs are like that). I just never understood why orgs whose primary purpose is to throw parties insist to the general public that they 'promote human dignity' or some other nicety like that.

I'm trying to find a new MMO to occupy my time. I've seen reviews and some let's plays and like what I saw so far. I ran with DC Online for awhile because I liked the customization and non-target combat, but got bored because of the same-y quests.

- I dislike the standard go here, kill the thing (when I have no context as to why I'm killing the thing)

- I like a good story

- I like character customization

- I dislike MASSIVE hotbars

- PvP isn't important to me

- I like to solo

With this in mind, can you recommend it to me?

Let's say there was a village that was completely disconnected form the outside world. They had never heard of any God and did not have any idea of an afterlife. What happens when the people in the village die?

Not long ago my sister-in-law made a mean, and very hurtful comment. When I spoke to her we had a very heated argument. She claimed that she was only joking and I don't know how to take a joke. I know it wasn't mean as a joke because her "Humor" is always said very bluntly and are usually rude.

Only thing is that I was just told that she has an undiagnosed psychological issue that is supposed to prevent her from thinking straight. I'm not sure if I believe that but I just want to mend the bridge.

How do I do that? Do I apologize? And if so, how?

For you that have either not read the book or have forgotten details I will describe her behavior.

-Bertha is described as an extremely violent individual, evidenced by her nearly killing both her husband as well as her own brother.

-She is described as near feral. Running around on all fours, growling, and snarling.

-However she supposedly was perfectly normal for the first twenty or so years of life

-And finally, it is said that Bertha's family has a long history of similar cases of madness.

So tell me. Is this a real disorder, or is it just for writings sake?

So about two weeks ago this couple started to attend my church. They're fairly normal, no oddities about them. Only thing is that they are a gay couple. And yes they are gay, openly gay.

It's not that I'm saying I mind them coming to church, but I don't understand why they attend when according to the Bible being gay is a sin. Just help me understand.

Ps: I am not a gay basher, nor am I a religious fanatic who goes around picketing that being gay is a sin. I just want to know why they come to church.

It doesn't make any sense to me. Batman doesn't kill people, and as far as I know he doesn't torture criminals. All he does is "happen" to find a crime occurring, and he puts a stop to it. It isn't illegal to stop a thug from stealing a purse, so why is it illegal to stop that thug while wearing a costume?

If you find out your wife is cheating on you can you be charged with assault if you hit him?

Ex) A punch or two to the chin

I am in a keeper league and I have the option to keep ONE of these guys:

Victor Cruz

Kenny Britt

Jamaal Charles

So, who gets to be on my team next year?

Choose 3

Vincent Jackson @ NY

Kevin Walter @ TEN

Steve Breaston @ OAK

Greg Little @ SEA

I give: Matt Stafford, and Deion Branch

I get: Roddy white, and Ray Rice

*I have Tom Brady

I have Give up Matt Stafford

I get Tim Tebow, Julio Jones, and Jordy Nelson

*I have Tom Brady on my team... so yeah.

Help me out!

I have Matt Stafford, and Tom Brady on my roster.

My Wide outs/Running backs are

-Vincent Jackson

-Deion Branch

-Victor Cruz

-Mike Thomas

-Nate Burleson

-Dexter Mccluster

-Darren McFadden

-Mike Tolbert

-DeAngelo Williams

-And Ryan Grant

Should I trade Stafford and try to add some depth to WR/RB?

Victor Cruz

Or Deion Branch

Branch looks like he'll be one-on-one against the Jets because they will focus on Welker, and The Pats TE

But Cruz is going up against Seattle, and that is reason enough to at least earn him the 'sleeper' tag.

Matt Stafford

Or Tom Brady

Thoughts?
