LadyBarbossa Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 That question would be far too strange for anyone to know. And one most people wouldn't get; people would think me a complete nut case. But it has something to do with a past life. Just haven't had the time nor money to do a past life regression. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

Raphael Misson Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 How much of the difference between the human sexes is learned and how much is natural? What is the optimal societal governing strategy?

Raphael Misson Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) Did Mission help Oswald kill JFK?Why is Ed Foxe? Ed Foxe is because someone must be Ed Foxe and it may as well be...Ed Foxe. Mission wasn't alive when JFK was shot, so probably not. But who knows? Perhaps he was in the grassy hole on the grassy knoll. There has to be better governing strategy. Or, I'll agree that it is entirely possible, that the optimal governing strategy involves contentious and upsetting shifts in governing strategies. But I doubt that. I really don't know, so that's why I'd like an answer. See? Edited July 3, 2009 by Raphael Misson “We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong.

Ransom Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 What created the Big Bang? (Or do we know that already?) Are men really from Mars and women from Venus?

Raphael Misson Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) Will I ever be able to win the lottery? Yes, you are able to win it now. However the odds are so stacked against your winning that you can barely comprehend the numbers. So if your question were changed to "Will I win the lottery in my lifetime?" the answer is "Almost certainly not." (Sorry.)

However the odds are so stacked against your winning that you can barely comprehend the numbers. So if your question were changed to "Will I win the lottery in my lifetime?" the answer is "Almost certainly not." (Sorry.) I disagree. You can almost positively win the lottery. Here's how. Buy $10,000 worth ot tickets. I can gurantee at least one will be a $5 winner! Now, winning the grand prize or significant prize be another story. Good point. You have to define "lottery" better. I was thinking of the local Lotto which has one prize. “We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong.

Tartan Jack Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 What was Edward Teach like if you met him in person, and he wasn't taking your ship at the time? Did the MacNeils' regularly wear belted plaids as the took ships in the North Atlantic? Or did they wear something else? If so, what? Why aren't more pirate reenactment groups based in the primary places they operated (I'm thinking of "Brit" pirates, as found in Johnson's book), notably Caribbean and Carolinas.

Raphael Misson Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) Why aren't more pirate reenactment groups based in the primary places they operated (I'm thinking of "Brit" pirates, as found in Johnson's book), notably Caribbean and Carolinas. Probably because they don't have quite as much disposable income as people located in England and America do. Also, from my experience many of the people living in the Caribbean are descended from slaves. So I suspect their view of history is a little different than ours...they may not consider themselves potential past pirates - and thus have no reason to re-enact that. They might have a more solemn perspective about history. (Well, that's how I perceive I would feel in their shoes, anyhow. I certainly wouldn't want to re-enact being a slave. Respect the fact and keep it in mind, but re-enact...no.) Edited July 4, 2009 by Raphael Misson “We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong.

Christine Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Why does having a pet cause so much heartache when they die? I just had to put my cat Toby of almost 15 years down in the wee hours of Monday the 6th. He had kidney problems, it happened so quickly. I was taking care of him since Friday the 3rd, with meds from my vet. He started showing signs that maybe he'd be okay, but then around midnight on Monday he was crying out and having trouble breathing. I rushed him to the animal urgent care. They did what they could, but he was failing so fast. It was so painful to watch him suffer so I gave the okay to put him down. I had done this before with my dog who was dying of cancer years ago, it's so damn painful. I've cried so much my eyes were swollen. It's also sad to see the other cat, Jasmine, look around for him. I'm sure she knows what's going on, she was laying down next to him and hanging around him when he was sick. Ugh, so much pain over our furry children......
