I am sure we were all shocked today to see that no one on this right wing site decided to talk about the number one political topic today: Todd Akin's comments about "legitimate rape". While the vast majority of conservatives...

Quetzhal I wouldn't say I'm against or for abortion. I'm against careless abortion- simply aborting a child for no reason other than wanting to do so- but I wouldn't deny a woman the right to abort in traumatic situations, especially since in abortions the zygote...

Quetzhal Debra, you're missing the point that I'm trying to make. My point is that his argument, true or otherwise, doesn't matter- The fact is that there ARE people out there who get raped and are pregnant as a result of that rape. You cannot simply deny them...

Just silly mistakes or strange things that you do without really realising it. Personally speaking, there have been times I wanted to refill my cup and walked into the toilet instead of the kitchen... or walked to the fridge...

Quetzhal Haha, ouch. That... actually reminds me. As a kid, I drank this strange mixture of water and black things- This was after I started to lose my vision but before I got glasses, I think. That or I was really tired. Anyway, I thought someone had just spilled...

Quetzhal You won't, really, unless you intend to culture your bacteria, perform gram staining, then look at them under a microscope. Even then you couldn't really be sure. XD I was just giving an example! Although Bacillus cereus is a relatively common cause of food...

Quetzhal No. When you get sick, your body produces antibodies to fight against the disease- And for the most part, boiling /should/ work. Generally speaking, you should be immune for a time after you catch an illness (provided you finish your course of antibiotics, of...

Quetzhal Oh- No, not at all! The test they did was for a project, but it wasn't really a very extensive test. I suspect the alcohol (which is what kills the bacteria) managed to evaporate, rather than diffuse through the agar and create an inhibition zone. It's...

We often consider whether or not we're wasting money when we spend it on a certain product, or people may tell us that we're wasting money when we buy something that seems superfluous. At what point do you consider buying...

Quetzhal I agree with that. I heard that there was an iPhone app that had nothing but a little red button on it- It cost $999 (or something to that effect) and had no purpose other than to show off their wealth. Some people actually bought it. Talk about a waste of...

Quetzhal I understand. When you do meet up, you're going to have to make up for lost time- And if you think feelings might fade over time, make sure they don't! I haven't had any contact save for the occasional SMS with one of my best friends now, and whenever I meet...

Quetzhal Haha, I don't really use a -lot- of hot water- My baths tend to be rather short! The temperature of the water is another matter, but I've never burnt my skin (I never do it to the point of pain, but I do have a higher heat tolerance than most, I suppose). I...

Quetzhal Ugh, definitely those. Unless you're talking about medicine, drugs just... harm you. I still don't understand why people buy them. I can understand why they keep buying because of the sheer addictive properties, but they really should go for rehab.

Quetzhal Haha, I agree with that. Have to be careful with online purchases, though- I keep getting caught by the shipping price because I'm usually ordering international shipping. More often than not I see an awesome $10 product, get all excited... then I look at the...

Quetzhal Funny thing, one of my classmates did a project where they tested Listerine on some bacteria. I can't remember the exact results, but I think Listerine was the one mouthwash that failed completely at killing bacteria. That might've been a diffusion/evaporation...

Quetzhal Boiling will help unless the bacteria is one like a Bacillus species, which form endospores when under stress and can tolerate extremely high heat (above boiling point). Endospores do take quite a while to form, though, so it depends how immediately you do it....

Quetzhal I'm a member of ProTypers as well. It's effectively the same as megatypers; you enter captcha codes. Depending on the time of the day, you earn different amounts at different times. I think right now you can earn anywhere from $0.60 per 1000 images to $1.05...

Quetzhal Talk to her! Tell her how you feel, and tell her that she should have a little bit more faith in you. She can express her fears and/or worries, of course, but open it up for discussion, I guess? Just be understanding of where each of you is coming from;...

Quetzhal It takes time! I think the first step is to usually just realise the fact that you're angry- many times when I lose my temper I just lose it without really thinking "oh hey, I'm actually losing my temper right now". You could try that, I suppose. xD Not saying...

Quetzhal Yep! Two or three years now, at least. We still Skype every so often, but these days we're usually busy typing and talking distracts us, so we stick to text chat more. You wouldn't believe how many times I've started to talk and ended up typing out what I was...
