			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question</i>: Question about the movie &#8220;Pulp Fiction&#8221;?</strong><br />
Ok, I&#8217;ve had a lot of friends recommend this movie to me because I like movies like Memento, The Machinist, Donnie Darko, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, 11:14, etc.  I&#8217;m actually watching this movie at the moment and am about half way in, and I have to admit that I&#8217;m bored to death.  My question is&#8230;..If I don&#8217;t like it by this far, should I keep watching?  I mean some movies I&#8217;ve seen are pretty boring in the beginning, but they do redeem themselves by the end.  Is this one of those or do you think I probably just won&#8217;t like it?</p>
<p><strong>Answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by rlc_60504</i><br/>It all comes together in the last 10 minutes or so.  Keep watching.</p>

<p><strong><i>Question</i>: To Bash or Not to Bash That is the Question- A musing (or rant) on Twilight?</strong><br />
Okay recently there have been a lot of questions along the lines of why do you twihaters pick on us&#8230; yadda yadda yadda.  Oftentimes the asker states that none of us have even read the book then ask to be left alone.<br />
Is anyone else seeing a bit of irony in this?  Being a bored college kid, I actually take my time to read some of the posts on here.  Oftentimes the people who don&#8217;t like Twilight are the ones who actually explain why they don&#8217;t.  &#8220;Twilight is a boring read because I feel asleep reading it&#8221; &#8220;Bella is a weak character whose narration is whinny and unappealing&#8221; &#8220;There is no character development; Bella and Edward remain stagnate&#8221; &#8220;Bella is spoiled and in the end gets everything she wants. Where&#8217;s the plot in that, it just doesn&#8217;t work out that way&#8221;  Heck many people even note the fact that its not the books but the fanatics that are being bashed.  I&#8217;ve also notice that nearly all of the time the answer that usually gets picked as best are along the lines of &#8220;I know; they are so mean&#8221;<br />
On the verse side when is see people explaining why it is the best book ever written its usually something like &#8220;because edward is hot&#8221; &#8220;because of the romance&#8221; &#8220;because of the great writing&#8221;  The answers tend to be vaguer and less&#8230;well convincing.<br />
The other thing I am noticing is many people who are use to this board are stuck typing don&#8217;t suggest twilight for book reccomendations even with subjects such as &#8220;suggest some good non-fiction&#8221; and &#8220;what&#8217;s a book like angels and demons&#8221; and still it rarely fails that twilight is among the answers.</p>
<p>In the end I am left with a set of questions<br />
-Why do Twilighters always assume that people who give a negative review of the book or are fustrated with the endless twilight postings automatically assume that they haven&#8217;t read the book?<br />
-Why can I never get a full answer as to the redeaming qualities of Twilight? (ie why twilight is a good literary work)<br />
-Do those who are merclessly labeled &#8220;twihaters&#8221; really out number twilighters on this board?<br />
-Even I admit that the searchbar doesn&#8217;t work the greatest but why do we keep seeing &#8220;when is MS going to be released&#8221;?<br />
-Why do people ask for opinions on the book and then get upset when they read a negative post?<br />
-Why are people labeled twilhaters for making even one negative statement about the book?<br />
-Why do people keep suggesting twilight to people who obviously aren&#8217;t interested in it?<br />
-What is the most original Twilight question you have seen asked recently? (okay I&#8217;m mixing things up with a poll question).</p>
<p>I know this post favors more toward those who dislike the books because of my own biases, but I&#8217;m interested in answers from both sides.<br />
a) how the heck does yadda yadda yadda make me old? I wasn&#8217;t even out of junior high ten years ago.<br />
b.) ya i know it was long that&#8217;s why its a rant<br />
c.) what else do you expect from a college brit lit major<br />
d.)there is at least one college course at my school that has twilight as required reading (i had it)<br />
e.)ya I did genralize a bit, but that was my impressions reading the back and forth posts between &#8220;lovers&#8221;/&#8221;haters&#8221;<br />
f.) it&#8217;s a mark of maturity to be able to fairly answer a question about something you don&#8217;t like</p>
<p><strong>Answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by cla ro</i><br/>someone asked a while ago &#8216;how far back has stephenie meyer sent feminism&#8217;  that was a good question.</p>
<p>personally i hate twlight.  it&#8217;s badly written,  boring,  and a terrible example to women.  it actually alarms me the opiniosn that meyer seems to have about relationships.  it&#8217;s unhealthy.</p>
<p>i also hate that most of the questions are the same,  and that no one likes to hear bad things.  it&#8217;s a public question,  so why do they ask if they don&#8217;t want to know.</p>
<p>i am personally very pleased to be considered a twihater. i think i will eve get a teeshirt with it one it.</p>

<p><strong><i>Question</i>: VB.NET For loop question?</strong><br />
I don&#8217;t really understand loops very well and I suck at using VB.NET. I&#8217;m trying to get text in a label to loop through different &#8220;tips&#8221; for a program I&#8217;m just messing around with. There&#8217;s a command button and every time you hit the button, I want it to cycle through the different texts. For some reason it was adding 2 instead of one to each section but I really have no idea what I&#8217;m doing exactly. Can you give me some help? This is my code. intNextTip = 1 in the form load.</p>
<p>        For Me.intNextTip = 1 To intNextTip + 1</p>
<p>            If intNextTip = 1 Then<br />
                lblTips.Text = &#8220;Never pipet by mouth.&#8221;<br />
            ElseIf intNextTip = 2 Then<br />
                lblTips.Text = &#8220;You can&#8217;t unburn fire with fire. It just doesn&#8217;t happen.&#8221;<br />
            ElseIf intNextTip = 3 Then<br />
                lblTips.Text = &#8220;Don&#8217;t eat stuff in class.&#8221;<br />
            ElseIf intNextTip = 4 Then<br />
                lblTips.Text = &#8220;AP Chem is hard, but always keep an open mind about it.&#8221;<br />
            ElseIf intNextTip = 5 Then<br />
                lblTips.Text = &#8220;The hardest thing to do in Chem is writing a lab report and that was done in academics.&#8221;<br />
            ElseIf intNextTip = 6 Then<br />
                lblTips.Text = &#8220;At the end of the semester, a 10th-grade chemistry teacher asked his students what was the most important thing that they learned in lab. A student promptly raised his hand and said, &#8216;Never lick the spoon.&#8217; &#8221;<br />
            ElseIf intNextTip = 7 Then<br />
                lblTips.Text = &#8220;Q: Why do chemists call helium, curium and barium the medical elements?&#8221; &#038; Chr(10) &#038; &#8220;A: Because if you can&#8217;t helium or curium, you barium! &#8221;<br />
            End If</p>
<p>        Next intNextTip</p>
<p><strong>Answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by Moavia</i><br/>dim totalTips as integer = 7<br />
for tip as integer=1 to totaltips</p>
<p>&#8216;write your code here<br />
