Newbia's definitions
A form of government in which the head of goverment (a King or Queen) inherits the title.
Absolute Monarchy is where the King or Queen has absolute power and can do what he wants.
Constituitonal monarchy is when the King shares power with Parliament and must follow the rules of the constituition.
Originally, thousands of years ago, monarchy was so that one guy could control all and everyone would know who succeeded him. This way, there were no fights between people over things like laws or taxes because only one person decided that, and no fights over who would succeed him because it was his child. Unfortunately in many cases (I won't say most because that is an opinion) the ruler wasn't suited for the job and there were fights anyway. Because of this many countries either changed to Democracy or changed to Constitutional Monarchy.

Get the monarchy mug.A straight male who has a feminine side (especially caring about appearances). It used to be that when a man acted like this, people thought he was homosexual.
I used to find it sad that any man with some nice traits like dressing well or being able to cook was considered homosexual, but now I know he's metrosexual.

Get the metrosexual mug.A movie produced by Pixar that came out in American theaters November 5th, 2004. It was directed by Brad Bird and voiced by Craig T. Nelson and Holly Hunter. The main characters are Bob Parr and Helen Parr (also known as Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl) and their children Violet Parr, Dash Parr, and Jack Jack. They are all superheroes.
The Incredibles recieved rave reviews due to it's beautiful animation and action sequences, wonderful plot, better characterization than many adult films, humor, and general awesomeness. Some people say that it's not as good as Pixar's previous movie, Finding Nemo, but I think it is the best animated movie I have ever seen.

Get the hella mug.A city in California, famous for Hollywood.
My Opinion:
I have only spent a few days in Los Angeles in my life, so I don't pretend to have an opinion on it (and you shouldn't pretend you know so much either unless you have lived there), but a lot of people hate this city. I find this sad because they assume the rest of California is also bad, and California is a wonderful state which I lived in for years.

Get the Los Angeles mug.Someone who believes that abortion should be legalized.
There is a differance between pro-life and pro-choice. Pro-life people want to stop abortion because they think it is wrong. Pro-choice people may think abortion is a good or bad thing, but they want women to have the right to do it even if it's not a good choice to make.

Josephine is pro-choice, because even though she thinks abortion is wrong she believes in womens rights.
