I showed a friend at work the below Yahoo Answers question and her take on it wsa that white people have historically acted better than other people and she wished she wasn't white. She also said she wished she was "her own race". I disagreed and reminded her that throughout history nation has fought against nation and peoples of all races have been discriminated against because of differences, I gave the example of "Irish need not apply". But her reasoning seemed to be that since white Americans were the "last people" to exhibit that behavior, then we are most guilty of it. This person is only 26 years old, is white with a northern European ancestry. Is she exibiting "White Guilt"? And, if so, how can I help my friend get over it?

When you answer a question, and you see that no one has answered yet, do you think that you are going to be the first one to answer?

Only to find out after submitting it in, there is a whole bunch of people that got their answers before you?

Never been able to have because it either doesn't exist (my dream pet doesn't) or it's something like an elephant or tiger, which may be a little hard to take care of.

When I was a little girl, I wanted a Simorgh(a mythical flying creature). It is said to have seen the destruction of the world 3 times and posses the knowledge of all the ages. Just think of the stories it could tell you...

those companies on the radio that state they will negotiate with your creditors to reduce your debt up to 60%, what is it that they negotiate, can i call them up myself and negotiate? how does that work, because currently I am trying to pay off everything, and i want to let my banks know that so that maybe they can try and meet me half ways by lowering my interest rate, because they want there money and I would think they would do whatever to get it? PLEASE ADVISE!

Okay, a few points here. First of all, yes, I am quite secure in my own beliefs, I am asking these questions out of blatant curiosity. Secondly, I am not in the least impartial. I am very specific about what I believe. Third, I believe that faith is very personal and subjective and therefore different for everyone, even those who practice the same religion.

Having said that, here is my next question.

If you can openly admit that you are secure enough in your own faith, enough to believe that your ideas of faith only apply to you and not everyone on the planet, then how can you argue with these two points?

5. People who do not follow my idea of God will not go to my idea of hell.
6. Heaven and hell, if I believe they exist, are there for the followers of my specific faith depending on how they live according to the rules of my specific faith.

While out over the weekend this guy was flirting with me all night. He made several compliments over the evening, thankfully without being crude. He made one somewhat borderline comment, something about the way I was walking across the room in my heels looked sexy. At this point I was right next to him and he looked at me and said "AND you have a tongue ring, you know you're killing me right?" He expanded that he liked the conversations we had earlier, thought I had a cute laugh, thought i looked very nice that night, etc etc. He slid his arm around my waist and asked in my ear if i was enjoying myself, so close I cld feel his lips on my ear. But I was cool and just said, im having a great time & grabbed his arm from around my waist.

When he returned to his group of friends he was cheesing hard & I saw him pop his collar. What does that even mean? He had not gotten my number. In fact I avoided giving him to him. I thought it was some sort of "he got me" move so I was turned off.

i don't carry cash because i have already been robed twice and lost money more then a few times in my life and i have found its just better to use my debit card for everything, it is also a good way to monitor my spending as it is all listed for me on my bank web page. just today i was buying a soda at a convenience store, it was 1.29 and i used my debit card , the Russian cashier thinking i didn't understand his language was on the phone and said "this f%6#$ng jerk is buying a Pepsi with a credit card ,what the f*7%K" first of all it clearly states its a debit card though it can be run as credit, second of all why would it matter? if it costs them extra to process credit/debit cards they can charge a surcharge so it shouldnt be that. i cant be the only person who never uses cash.
