How do you stop from breaking up with your girlfriend?

A breakup usually involves one or more partner's dissatisfaction with the relationship. It is normal to loose the flame after some time in a relationship and it all depends on how you handle the situation that will determine if you break up or not. At a certain point you may get so comfortable with your partner that you are perhaps too open about your feelings and your partner may feel like they are required to reciprocate more than they like. Your partner may start asking himself/herself questions such as: is this the person I want to be with for the rest of my life? Do I want to do anything else before I settle down with this person? Then your partner will feel suffocated, will try to go out more, and will spend less time with you. In my opinion, they key is not to let yourself get too comfortable (for guys only); don't let your girlfriend get so comfortable that she has to start questioning such things. Have her spend mroe time wondering about you and how much you really love her. For those of you that have already made the mistake of being too open, it's never too late to cut back on your "love output" and let her ponder what a great guy she is loosing. Once her interest level in your beings to rise, your relationship may stabilize again and she will start to love you more.

Did Smithers shoot mr burns?

Yeah,and it's REALLY obvious...

-He fantasizes about Mr.Burns ( Sees him coming out of a cake naked, dreams of him flying in from the window onto his bed, etc...)

-He does everything for Mr.Burns

-He kissed him once, when everyone thought the apocalypse was coming

-He declared his love for him once too, when they thought the nuclear plant would blow up

-He has a giant portrait of Mr.Burns in his house and when his computer turns on, a naked Mr.Burns appears and says: ''Hello Smithers, you're quite good at turning me on''

There are other proofs, but the main ones are here :)

Da!

Yes. Mr Smithers is a "Burns Sexual". Neither straight nor gay he REALLY REALLY "likes" Mr Burns.

How can you make your ex wife want you again?

My life became devastated when my husband sent me packing, after 8 years that we have been together. I was lost and helpless after trying so many ways to make my husband take me back. One day at work, i was absent minded not knowing that my boss was calling me, so he sat and asked me what its was all about i told him and he smiled and said that it was not a problem. I never understand what he meant by it wasn't a problem getting my husband back, he said he used a spell to get his wife back when she left him for another man and now they are together till date and at first i was shocked hearing such thing from my boss. He gave me an email address of the great spell caster who helped him get his wife back, i never believed this would work but i had no choice that to get in contact with the spell caster which i did, and he requested for my information and that of my husband to enable him cast the spell and i sent him the details, but after two days, my mom called me that my husband came pleading that he wants me back, i never believed it because it was just like a dream and i had to rush down to my mothers place and to my greatest surprise, my husband was kneeling before me pleading for forgiveness that he wants me and the kid back home, then i gave Happy a call regarding sudden change of my husband and he made it clear to me that my husband will love me till the end of the world, that he will never leave my sight. Now me and my husband is back together again and has started doing pleasant things he hasn't done before, he makes me happy and do what he is suppose to do as a man without nagging. Please if you need help of any kind, kindly contact Happy for help and you can reach him via email: happylovespell2@gmail.com

What do computers have now that didn't have back then?

Well, it depends on what you are referring to as "back then". Are you referring to the computers that were the size of a large room and every function was controlled by a punch card? Or do you mean early 80s and 90s when the Tandy 2000SL was a hot item, or the Apple IIe, and Oregon Trail? Computers never ran like they do no, that is for sure. Now they have all the sound, video, and internet that you could possibly need. Back on original PCs, you never had internet, let alone all the video capabilities we have now.

How do you get over someone who you don't want to get over?

Answer

There comes a time in everyone's life when we have to do things that we really don't want to do. You have to get over him and move on, be with friends, go to movies, do anything except think of the past, even start to look for another guy, maybe not on a full time basis, but as a guy friend, who can take you out and you can get over the other guy.

Person whose desires are never fulfilled?

Opinion only: Most people have several desires and in general, at least some of these desires are fulfilled. You should assess what you already have that others may not. Here are some examples: 1. Are you in good health? If you are in good health, then having good heath will not be one of your desires; however, for a people who are not in good health; this would more than likely be one of their most important desires. 2. Do you have shelter and enough food to eat every day? 3. Do you have sincere friends? 4. Etc… If there are certain desires that remain unfulfilled, are they realistic desires? If they are, then you really have to examine why they are not being fulfilled. In life, there's always a reason or reasons for things that go well in your life just as there's always a reason or reasons for things that don't go well or at least, well enough. I will provide one example. A close friend of mine was unhappy due to a situation whereby he wanted to have a relationship with a woman who wasn't interested in him. Having sought my advice, I told him that despite this setback, there were thousands of women in the world who would more than be happy to meet a person such as him. Sometimes, you have to take a step backwards and view a given situation from outside the box. To make a long story short, he ultimately met the right woman and has never looked back since. Sometimes we have to adjust our demeanor or expectations to achieve what we want. It is only a fool who believes that he/she is perfect the way he/she already is.

How did they write in the Middle Ages?

Why does your mate want to see other people?

Honestly, that is just a whimpy way to break up with you. If seeing other people is not on your itinerary, tell them. Then make a decision. If you're okay with it, fine. That means you can see other people as well. It also means, they think they can call you up and see you when it's convenient. If it were me, I'd say fine, and never talk to them again. Find someone else, it's worth it. anyway they probably get bored going out with the same person shaggin them all the time!

What are two good reasons to exercise your right to vote?

This answer is subject to varied opinions. Here are a few opinions of Answers.com contributors:

Two reasons to vote

  1. If you do not like who is in office or who is running then by voting, and if you live in the U.S. by voting you may be able to get those you least desire out of office and add more seats in senate for a balance. Soldiers died to keep America and Canada free although that freedom seems to be waning little by little we should vote even if it means voting between the lesser of two evils
  2. The right to complain. Many people feel that if you do not make your voice be heard when it matters, you do not have the right to complain later. If you feel strongly on certain issues, such as social security or abortion, than you need to look for the candidate that best fits your views.

Another view

I wish this was true. Politicians are put there to give you the illusion you have a choice, you don't. Banks and corporations own and run this world, and they own us. Your system of elections illustrates this. How many senators are from poor backgrounds? To even run for the office of president requires substantial financial backing. Voting only perpetuates this myth of democracy.

A rebuttal

Not to be too strong here, but the last paragraph above is one of the major reasons why the current system has serious problems.

Failure to vote results in the system being dominated only by those who are strongly motivated by some idea (and thus, tend to be single-issue voters), and thus, extremism (of all forms) holds much larger influence than belief in those issues actually has.

In essence, since by giving up on the existing system as bent, corrupt, or otherwise "not perfect", you actual reinforce the system's tendency to be all of those negatives. The system BECOMES corrupted because people refuse to take responsibility for fixing it; by abdicating the responsibility to vote (and, be informed about the vote you are casting), you, the citizen, are DIRECTLY responsible for the lack of "quality" politicians. That is, people get EXACTLY the kind of representative they are asking for, and if you, the citizen don't ask (by voting) for anything, then how are they (politicians) supposed to know what you want? Public opinion polls? Door to door canvasing? Prayer?

Voting is the only sure-fire way to indicate to politicians what you, the citizen, actually want and desire.

To put is succinctly, the two major reasons why you absolutely, positively MUST vote if you want a functional representative democracy are:

  1. If everyone (or at least, the very large majority) votes, then politicians know exactly what the electorate as a whole wants, and which ideas/opinions are merely those of who like to scream loud, but which have little actual popularity. That is, by voting, marginal ideas and groups are given exactly the amount of attention they deserve: very little.
  2. While money can buy influence (and media time), in the very end analysis, it can't buy an election. Votes are what actually elect people, and while money can sway people's minds, having virtually everyone vote means that it becomes much harder for that money to influence everyone, and it can no longer be effective by only buying the loyalty of small groups. In the end, this means that politicians will (by necessity) become more interested in finding out which ideas are truly popular with everyone, not just those ideas which have some money backing them.

Change does not come overnight; if more people vote, then, slowly, we will get better quality politicians. Frankly, it is the fault of the people who don't vote for why the current generation of politicians are so miserable, not the fault of the people who voted those people in; to put it even more bluntly, if only 10% of the TOTAL ELECTORATE bothers to vote in an election, how is it NOT the fault of those other 90% that the elected person doesn't properly represent the entire population's views? And, yes, we get less than 10% voting in many elections; even in hugely contested elections (such as the 2008 Presidential election), the US had barely 62% of all eligible votes bother to vote.

And you wonder why politicians are crap. We get exactlythe kind of politician we deserve.

What is a true love?

See 1st Corinthians 13:1 - 13. another answer (the above paragraphs are quite beautiful);

true love for me is deeply caring for the other person, how they feel, helping them out, sharing tasks...letting them know they're loved, never trying to hurt them on purpose, giving them space if they need it or are tired, sharing their interests, having fun and joking around, listening to their stories with attention, sharing hard times, being very affectionate, independent, telling them by actions and words they are cherished, listening during disagreements, both sides trying to change if necessary...you feel uplifted when you're around the other person, can't wait to see them, want to do little things for each other (ie: make them breakfast in bed or do some small task as a present once in a while), enjoy their company, want to share by just being together and hugging while watching a show, or having a good talk...planning enjoyable things for the future...letting down your guard and really feeling...taking an interest in them...knowing some day neither of you will exist, holding them in your heart.
