What is your own personal opinion? Do you think blondes are "dumber" than "brunettes"? Women, what about men? Are blonde men dumber? Add in your answer how many hours of television you watch and your highest degree of education (ex. high school, 1hr)

I sell secondhand books on eBay. How can you tell if it is a First Edition book without it saying so? For example, the book has the same publication and copyright year, would this be a First Edition?

I would like to know why men think blonde women are more attractive, and if they don't why not? (ie, they look like albinos, etc) And from girls why brunettes hate blondes.

I already had a sore throat to begin with, so I maybe I shouldn't have tried to sing, expecially this particular song. It was Nemesis by Arch Enemy. I went through it three times, really pushing myself, and after the third time my throat was really sore, and then I spit up a little bit of blood. I just wondered if this is normal for someone who is just starting to get used to singing this kind of music, or if I just went to far and hurt myself.

People have a million different definitions for love, so I offer this one into contention. When I say love, I mean of one person for another. When I see that in play, the associated behaviors are often protective, possessive and loyal, as if they are afraid that what they covet will be destroyed or taken away. What do you think?

I’m guessing there are a couple of things Americans, no matter what their party affiliation or political ideology, even the Far Left Wing Radical ACLU Adoring Liberal Democrats really don't want to see in a movie.

The assassination of a sitting American president, and the other would be a black man getting pinned for his murder just to make a point about anti-Arab sentiment since Sept. 11.

Reports say that at the Screening There were many African-Americans present, and ALL of them fled the theater enraged!!

When the lights went up, it was mostly people with foreign accents and a few Jewish Liberal American producers in the film business who refused comments as they hurried out of the theatre. There was no applause when the film ended.

What say you???
