@mic00: the difference is very subtle, I think it has to do with time "por" is un present or past, and "para" is en future,
"por" It's something you should to do for a previous reason
"para" It is something you have to do to achieve something.
example:
- English (US)
- Spanish (Mexico)
Yeah that's right, and "por" maybe is more used as "because" or "why" (por que) and "por" is also used as "by" or "as" It depends on prayer

- Spanish (Mexico)
"Por" ella yo hago eso. Esto es "Para" el.
El lo necesita "Para" hablar .. "Por" eso nunca salgo sin mi celular
- Spanish (Mexico)
"para" es de para que o quien lo haces y "por" es de porque lo haces
- Spanish (Mexico)
Para ----> like "to".
Example: Necesito estudiar más para obtener mejores notas / I want to study more TO obtain best notes.
Por + subject---> like "by".
Example: La ley de gavedad fue descrita por Issac Newton / The gravity law was described by Issac Newton.
Por + time + verb--->"for".
Example: Por ahora quiero estar solo / For the moment I want to be lonely.
Porque ----> like "because".
Example: Ayer llegué mojado a mi casa porque estaba lloviendo / Yesterday I arrived wet to my house, because it was raining.
