• (3 votes) I know this is alittle gross for guys,
  

  Just to let you know. I am a guy reading this. I commend women for dealing with it every month.
  
  Funny story: One of my good girl friends and prior roomate, was always SO embarrassed to carry tampons around and go to the register with them. I always offered to carry/purchase them for her. I never had any problem walking through the store and up to the register. All women know what it means; men are stupid anyway. So carry your tampons/pads with pride. You give life.
  
  
  Anyway, my hat’s off to you!

• (1 vote) Why did nintendo name it the Wii?
  

  I was curious myself, here you go:
  
  
  Name
  The console was known by the code name of “Revolution” until April 27, 2006, immediately prior to E3.[9] According to the Nintendo Style Guide, the name “is simply Wii, not Nintendo Wii.” This means it is the first home console Nintendo has marketed outside of Japan without the company name featured in its trademark. While “Wiis” is a commonly used pluralization of the console, Nintendo has stated that the official plural form is “Wii systems” or “Wii consoles.”[10] Nintendo’s spelling of “Wii” with two lower-case “i” characters is meant to resemble two people standing side by side, representing players gathering together, as well as to represent the console’s controllers.[11] The company has given many reasons for this choice of name since the announcement; however, the best known is:
  “ Wii sounds like ‘we’, which emphasizes that the console is for everyone. Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.[11] ”
  Despite Nintendo’s justification for the name, some video game developers and members of the press initially reacted negatively towards the change. They preferred “Revolution” over “Wii”[12] and expressed fear “that the name would convey a continued sense of ‘kidiness’[sic] to the console.”[13] The BBC reported the day after the name was announced that “a long list of puerile jokes, based on the name,” had appeared on the Internet.[14] Nintendo of America’s president Reggie Fils-Aime acknowledged the initial reaction and further explained the change:
  “ Revolution as a name is not ideal; it’s long, and in some cultures, it’s hard to pronounce. So we wanted something that was short, to the point, easy to pronounce, and distinctive. That’s how ‘Wii,’ as a console name, was created.[15] ”
  Nintendo of America’s VP of Corporate Affairs Perrin Kaplan defended its choice of “Wii” over “Revolution” and responded to critics of the name by stating: “Live with it, sleep with it, eat with it, move along with it and hopefully they’ll arrive at the same place.”[16]

• (1 vote) My lill brother
  

  There have been studies on mental health that links animal abuse to future abuse/violence. I would pressure your parents into seeking mental help for your lil bro.
  
  If a child does not link remorse, sadness or fear with physicaly taking the life of a pet, that could be a sign of future problems.

• (1 vote) THIS IS HOW WE CELEBRATE OUR EID WHAT ABOUT YOUR CHRISTMAS?
  

  Thanks for that MorningDew.. so many of us out west don’t know much of your traditions! I hope you have a great Eid.
  
  Christmas is a celebration for us as well. Usually starting anytime in December, many people start decorating their homes and workplaces. We decorate with lights, ornaments, candies, popcorn strings and much more. It is traditional to have a tall Christmas tree that is decorated as well. Presents bought and recieved are placed under the tree and opened on either Christmas Eve, or Christmas day.
  
  Family/friends are very important for Christmas, and many people will travel to friends/family homes for a feast. Food is usually ham or turkey with dressing or a combination of things. Ethnicity takes part in it as well. I am from a hispanic family and a traditional dish for my family is tamales. (Corn meal wrapped meat in red chili puree.)
  
  Christmas historicaly is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Many churches have a service that focuses on the miracles of the Emmaculate Conception (when God gave the virgin Mary a child in womb) and birth. Churches sing praises and preach of happiness and peace. Many congregations have pageants (plays/musicals) about Christ.
  
  Many people focus on charity this time of year. Many people volunteer time, or money and gifts to people less fortunate.
  
  A big part of the holiday is gift giving. People exchange gifts to each other, to show kindness. Children especially are given gifts. The legendary Santa Claus who wears red and brings gifts to children late Christmas eve comes from the Turkish born Saint Nicolas. St. Nicolas was a bishop who was cheritable throughout his life. Stories of his giving spread through Europe and evolved from place to place. Santa Claus wears red as the bishop Nicolas wore red as well.
  
  Christianity of course stretches out among many countries so Christmas is slightly different from area to area. Food is different, music and tradition as well. I hope I have represented at least to main aspects of Christmas.
  
  Again thank you for sharing your festivities! It is nice to know that we aren’t too different. We all love a good party.

• (1 vote) Is there any one that can explain about Wicca.
  

  Wicca in a nutshell..
  
  Wicca stems from the old beliefs in spirituality. Before the organization of the Christian church.
  
  Typically the belief held that many gods and goddesses were present. (Polythiesm)
  
  Around the 60’s, “Wicca” was half-hazardly organized into an idea. I say half-hazardly because it is unorganized and non-corforming as other religious beliefs.
  
  Wicca now typicaly is the belief in your choice of god/gods/goddesses. There is a real emphasis on nature, and respect for all aspects of life. A tenant of the wiccan belief is “An it harm none, do as thou wilt” similar to “Do unto others as you will have done unto you”.
  
  Wicca also goes under the name of Witchcraft, as many wiccans believe in “spell work”. When I studied wicca, I saw spells as more of a prayer in action. Some people claim to be able to do metaphysical things through spell work, but in general I didn’t feel that was possible.
  
  True wiccan belief is something I found very comforting, it valued respect for everyone and everything. A lot of bad connotation has been given to the idea due to Hollywood portrayals, and many people’s lack of understanding of it. Many people think that it is “Satan worship”. But to argue against that, the wiccan belief does not typically include Satan.
  
  Good luck with arguing with the parents of your friend though. My advice is for your friend to be weary of the information he/she recieves, but at the same time look into forms of spirituality. As long as she has good intentions, she could find a lot of good in all walks of life.

• help me i have an 5 year old brother going on 6 he
  

  [quote justbehuma]If you tell him it’s wrong you will make him feel there is something wrong with him.
  Just leave him alone. He is an innocent little child expressing his likes. What is your problem with that? The question is why are you so insecure that you find your your brother to be an embarrassment to you. If any of your friends says something critical about your brother you should stick up for him.[/quote]
  
  
  
  Exactly.
  
  So he likes girl things.. is that going to end the world? He is not the first and won’t be the last. What is more important to you, that you love your little bro, or that you want to force him into being someone he is not?

• I need some artist and song help!
  

  I can never hear the lyrics but others looking for the same song say it is something along the line of “running out of time” however it is not anything that I have googled. (not: Simple Plan, HOT HOT Heat, Muse)
  
  The big thing is that it sounds almost exactly like Chris Martin.

• Mother says I’ll never get over my first love.
  

  I don’t know if your question was rhetoric, but I can say that yes you do think of your first love often throughout life. Though not always in a longing sense. Sometimes I think of mine in a “wonder what would have happened” thought or “they liked that” kind of way. As time passes those thoughts cease to be painful, but more nostalgic. I still think of my first love, but can no longer relate to them and or see myself together with them. Does it make me love them less? Not really. My emotion for them evolved into something like a scar. No longer painful, forever altering, sometimes un-noticed, but forever there.
