Open Question: Will Al Gore ever tell the truth again? and more... Open Question: Will Al Gore ever tell the truth again?Once, again Al Gore is caught in a lie. This time, he said "These figures are fresh. Some of the models suggest to Dr [Wieslav] Maslowski that there is a 75 per cent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during the summer months, could be completely ice-free within five to seven years." The problem is, not only is this data not fresh, even the scientist attributed with saying it says he is factually wrong, "It's unclear to me how this figure was arrived at," Dr Maslowski said. "I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this." http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/copenhagen/article6956783.ece This story follows close on the heals of his previous lies. He recently said in an interview that the earth's core is "several millions degrees" (not even close), and that the climate gate e-mails were all from 10 years ago (e-mails in climate gate are dated as of Nov 2009). http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/11/16/gore-has-no-clue-a-few-million-degrees-here-and-there-and-pretty-soon-were-talking-about-real-temperature/ http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/12/08/al-gore-cant-tell-time-thinks-most-recent-climategate-email-is-more-than-10-years-old/ So the real question is, is Al Gore a habitual liar, or just plain stupid? And the final question, who would be dumb enough to listen to this guy? Open Question: Need Advice....Please Help!?ok so this guy and I really really like each other. the problem is, I'm not allowed to date until i'm 15. so what should we do? is it a bad idea to date behind my parents backs? please help! thanks (im 14 right now and he's 15) Open Question: Advice Please..........?ok so this guy and I really really like each other. the problem is, I'm not allowed to date until i'm 15. so what should we do? is it a bad idea to date behind my parents backs? please help! thanks (im 14 right now and he's 15) Open Question: What crimes are you guilty of?Peter B, a most curious though observant character, had long had suspicions that the reading public was becoming simple-minded, indeed that their attention spans had become so constricted, their vision so limited, that they were unable to hold within their consciousnesses sentences of more than a few lines, a distressing phenomenon that he had come to associate with the baleful influence of Hemingway, whom he otherwise adored, and though his worldview was pedantic, perhaps some might say antiquated, it did not seem, at least to him, akin to legal transgression, and so he was thunderstruck, as if by a bolt from the blue, when, waking one morning, he found himself yanked unceremoniously from his nightly slumbers by the local constables, who now deemed, apparently unable to cope with his excesses any longer, that the regular pattern of cumulative syntax into which he had fallen of late, the habit of piling one free modifier upon another, and of appending to every coordinate clause an interminable accordion-like construction of subordinate clauses that even the most devoted admirer of Palin-speak couldn't fathom, much less diagram, had now become something more serious than a mere misdemeanor, a simple violation, but rather constituted a form of violence, albeit a restrained a humorously purposeful one, and so it was deemed that in the public interest, and because these Postmodern excesses of verbiage perhaps constituted a peculiar form of aggression, at least against the ear, that swift and decisive punitive action must be taken against the offender to bring him back into line, and yet in a way that would seem reasonable to the reading public, and so the decision was made that he should, it goes without saying, first be granted all the liberties of a trial by a jury of his peers — which presented problems enough! —and then punished regardless of the outcome of the aforesaid proceedings, and so the date was set and the 'offender' was remanded into the State's custody, where he waited for the swift justice that his State's constitution proclaimed was his inalienable right, until one day, after he had spent what seemed to be years in prison engaged in the writing of massively parallel and ramblingly discursive essays, he was brought before the aforesaid jury of his peers (finally and miraculously assembled), and was treated to the sight of a spectacle seldom known since the days of the Roman Coliseum, as one legal lion after another was released to do battle against him, against his seemingly imperishable word, and as the charges against him were laid out, like surgical instruments in an operating room, his mind slowly began to grasp the enormity of the complaints arrayed against him, he began to grasp that what he stood accused of — his unpardonable sin — was that of composing monumentally complex syntactical structures, byzantine in their complexity and rococo in their sensibilities, with so many free modifiers, so many rhetorical figures, so many words, that they amounted to a form of generalized aggression against both society and ear, aggression against the whole concept of concision, indeed aggression against all that the practiced grammarian holds most dear, and so little leniency was granted in sentencing him for his verbal transgressions, for his studied habit of taking what is most holy in our ever more self-defeating society which mistakes verbal economy for clarity and disregards expressiveness altogether, and the maximum punitive power of an outraged community was brought to bear on this rambling fellow, indeed a punishment at once draconian and yet ironically appropriate in light of the charges originally brought against him, and so no one as much as flinched when the judge ordered what was for the defendant to a be a not so undesirable punishment: a long sentence! Open Question: Me and my bestfriend like the same guy ?! HELP PLEASE!?kso me and one of my bestfriends like the same guy. the only thing is, she doesnt know i like him. I couldn't help but fall for this guy, hes soo great! Also, he found out I liked him and he said he likes me to. So thats another problem! But he said we can't go out because hes bad with relationships, & he wouldn't want it to be a bad relationship for me, I know we wont ever date. But I still really like him!

Open Question: I have a problem, with one of my friends.?Okay so in 11th grade i had this best friend and he is gay and he was dating this guy and I knew the guy he was dating before he did and after they sort of "broke up" the guy he was dating got my number some how and started texting me alot and like being really cute and nice and i gave in. I knew they didn't really do anything together so and it was kind of a quick thing i didn't really think it would of hurt my friend that bad. So after that in May he found out then we stopped talking for like a year cause he was so mad at me. But now we are really close again and hangout and see each other alot.& Today some one told me he was telling people that he is still upset about what happened. Which doesn't make sence cause if he is hurt why would he still be talking to me ? I'm so confused, should I ask him about what he told the person in his gym class or no? Like it was a mistake and he still tells people that he is hurt idk what to do.
