  1. Franco, what do you actually want to do? Thats what these things tend to boil down to in the end. Only ususally alot of fu*king about with other things in the mean time. Just ask yourself what is the absolute perfect end to this plight you find yourself in. Now make it happen.

    Whatever it may be, stay, leave, either way. Ask yourself because whatever you decide your the only person who you have to live with for the rest of your life. I think that you realy want to stay with your family but also want the emotional connection you get with this other women from your wife. Is your wife too embrassesed to go to a councillor? I would have thought that she would be more embrassesed to know that her husband needs to go to another women to be emotionaly fulfilled. In the end you already know what you want to do and will one way or another end up doing, so i guess what I'm saying is just do it and get it over with.

  2. well, if u aske me id say theres one type of iron- Fe element. Are the "two types of iron" iron compounds or iron mixed with something?

    My guess would be two different crystalline stuctures. Seeing as he's looking for patterns?

  3. Just a note, Fe3O4 (magnetite) will not form under atmospheric conditions. It need high temperatures to form eg hydrothermal ore deposits

    I thought that it could be created by a flint.

  4. It's solidifying only very slowly. This happens with my Gallium as well it was liquid at room temperature for a week (if I remeber correctly) before it solidified. Either that or your Gallium is realy pure and has become a super fluid :) which is not likely.

  5. Ok I can only remeber the answer to this one but the question will have all the improtant parts in it. Also the original rhymed so i'll have to imbelish it a bit there also :embarass:

     

    At the begining of the night, four men sit down to play.

    And into the wee hours they will stay,

    But when it comes time to count the cash,

    All the players, have increased their stash*

     

    Question is 'How did they all gain money from playing?' Trust me all the info you need is right there. Have fun.

    * (Stash means money can you think of a word for money that rhymes with cash?)

  6. I don't see how we can morally respond with nukes, but I do worry about what military people think about. (That "you" by the way, was not you)

    I don't think the US can moraly respond with nukes under any circumstance. But morals don't come into this, unfortunatly, if past behaviour is any prediction of future behaviour.

    No...I can't say that all the people in the mideast are uncivilized, but there are so many that are. Many.

    All I know is that I'm 17 and want to be around a radiation free world when I'm 30. But when I look, I don't see it.

    I agree with you that there are many uncivilised people in those countries maybe even the majority but I still think the terminology is wrong. How about uncivilised people? or uncivilised factions? but to label a whole country like that poor, poor form.

    I too am 17, but guess what, we already don't live in a radiation free world :-(

  7. Hurting innocent people is nothing to be proud of. Thats what makes you uncivilized.
    Umm..where did I make a personal dig. I would not have done that to you. Your ok in my book. I made a general statement but if I did somehow, it was unintended.

    Must have been a typo maybe you ment 'them'? Thats fine then if no harm no fowl :)

    If you feel the US is the real nuke danger, then your worrying for nothing. Those days and presidents are gone. It's the religious extremists getting one that is the realdanger. They will use it because they believe there god allah allows its use. Not political. Not civilized.

    All I'm saying is that if provoked with nuclear weapons even as wimpy as a dirty bomb then I think the US will respond in kind. Only not with one dirty bomb but a fleet of nuclear weapons. I think it is unlikely that the US will strike with nuclear weaponds first, but when they do the damge will be much greater then that done by terrorists.

    I can't stop using the word "uncivilized", because if fits perfectly with the people I'm describing. Also, our constitution separated church and state right from the beginning because our forfathers knew what religion could do. I agree there is some mixing in politics, but nowhere near what the mideast countries have done.

    "Uncivilized factions", using your own words, are the majority rule in some countries. Remember the Taliban, the opression of women, the beheadings, the stoning to death of pregnant women, cutting off a persons hands, are almost a daily occurence. The utter lack of respect for life makes these people uncivilized in my book.

     

    Hope were still ok....

    Alright can you say that everysingle person who is a citizen is mid-east countries is uncivilised? I hope you can see that labeling everybody in these countries as 'uncivilised' is poor form. I totally agree with you that all the practises you have mentioned are 'uncivilised' but can you say with any authority that every single person in the mid-east is guilty of such practises?

    Of course were still ok :)

  8. Seeing 5614's last puzzle reminded me of this one, It took me about 20-30mins (I know way too long but hey i'm not great at these)

    The question is:

    Make the following numbers and symbols into a correct equation you can use each numder and symbol only once.

     

    2 3 4 5 + =

     

    Good luck :)

  9. I have read about Hiroshima for example and I detest my country for doing that. I imagined young mothers pushing a baby carriage down a street, or getting their kids ready for school when the blast hit. I saw photos of things like watches, hospitals, playgrounds, and people. I am not proud of having the Enola Gay hung up on a ceiling as a display of victory and I shook my head when I first saw it. I never watch "Pearl Harbor" movies because its a slap in the face to the present Japanese population.

    Good for you :) A political boycot is always good for your health ;) (no sarcasim intended)

    With that said, I don't throw stones at other countries without throwing them at mine. Hurting innocent people is nothing to be proud of. Thats what makes you uncivilized.

    I'm glad your not a die hard patriot and that you can see the flaws in your country. That being said, I don't know what gave you the inpression that hurting innocent people was something I was proud of :confused:. From my posts I though it was fairly obvious that I oppose war and that i am anti-nuclear weapons. Personal attacks are not nice escpechialy when they are toatly unfounded. I may be a hippocrit in saying this as I have dolded out personal digs before, but thay were always for a reason.

    I don't feel safe in my country either, for the reasons listed by Enski, only he forgot to add rapists and child molesters to it too and I don't agree with my president on anything either....Yes Benson, I worry about a few thousand people and as far as having the nuclear capability to destroy the world, I cannot argue that either.

    I'm glad that you don't support nukes too (Looks like we have a few things in common) But can you see which has the propensity to do more damage and therefore the real danger.

    The point I was trying to make, is that religious fanatics and nuclear weapons don't mix. What do you think would have happended to New York on 9/11 if the Taliban had a nuke and could deliver it. Our secretary of defense made a statement that keeps ringing true in my ears. "If these people get their hands on a nuclear weapon they won't hesitate to use it". I believe him and it scares me to death.

    Agreed :)

    I don't worry about China, US, Russia, or other "civilized" countries having nukes. I worry about "uncivlilized" countries who force their women to wear Burkas, and/or have "religious ideologies" as there constitution driving them to develop dirty bombs to use against "infidels"...or giving death to those who grab the koran without gloves on....and please don't insult me by saying these things are "customs", there not.

    Your still using those inclusive terms 'civilised' and 'uncivilised', could you please stop. Just because these countries may have uncivilised factions i think it is unfair to label them all as 'uncivilised' and makes you sound ignorant which I think your not. Also about having religious idelologies in constitutions well I think you should look a little closer to home before you label this practice as 'uncivilised'.

  10. I wasn't speaking of the uncivilised middle east countrys waging a full scale nuclear war. I was referring to uncivilized religious fanatics detonating a nuclear weapon like a "dirty bomb" on a civilized country. That is the real danger, much less than the US using nukes. I am not worried about North Korea because though not free, they are still civilized. However, I am really worried about Iran. They are uncivilized, overly religious, fanatical, unlikely to be converted to civility, and will nuke us for just looking crosseyed at the Quran.

    That is the real danger? to who, a few thousand people? the US has the capacity to kill the world 10 times over and the real danger is a dirty bomb?

    Not free? I detest America trying to bring democracy to the world its not like other countries are pushing their systems on America. I think the whole argument about you using the terms 'uncivilised' ect has stemed from the fact that you are condeming the whole country as uncivilised shows a lack of reasoning.

    I was not being blatent. By my profile, you can see where I come from. I have nothing to hide. But I do read the news.

    I'm glad you read the news but I would suggest that you sample many scources that have different opinions. I didn't say you had something to hide rather that you should just say what you mean rather then sugar coat it with euphemisms.

    Edit I don't want you to think I'm just shitcanning America and that i hate Americans. I lived in America for two years its a great country and most of the perople a good people. I just can't agree with the politics.

  11. I had quoted BIDMAS I say the M and D should be the other way around hence BIMDAS, escentialy the same thing. Jeez it was just a joke grimey. :)

     

    ~Scott

  12. mean using BODMAS as I was taught in class, the `O` part is OF. so it`s LIKE Division but specificly for Fractions, that covers the BO part.

    then next we encounter normal division (the D part) and the rest is easy.

    Yeah thats right you got it now :)

    btw, I`m seconds away from regreting that I asked about it :(
    Why? This is like the first time I've been able to help you with something :) Glad to return the help

     

    ~Scott

  13. You agree that fractions are like division.... so one half is 1 divided by 2.

     

    So you cant have division in two places like you do in BODMAS, even if you do call it something.... just use BIDMAS

    Your almost right

    :mad:ITS BIMDAS !!! :mad:

     

    ....Ok maybe i need the blue pills :D....
