How are parallel circuits different from short circuits

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-04-09] [Hit: ]
-Even a short circuit doesnt have zero resistance (though it might be only a few milliohms), unless its a superconducting material.The vast majority of current goes an ordinary short circuit, but a small amount still goes through the other parallel paths.in a parallel circuit,or the power supply shuts down.......
Was just thinking about it and wondered why current splits across both/all paths of a parallel circuit when the extra path is essentially a short circuit, and what is the difference between them?

you question doesn't really make sense

in a parallel circuit, if one path is a short then all current will go through that untill a fuse blows
or the power supply shuts down.
