I've asked a few questions on Yahoo Answers regarding people or things in "general" and a lot times both on here and in real life I get response like but I don't do that or that's not me or they know someone who isn't like that. My question is why do people consider that a good rebuttal when the question is regarding a general population or action. There always are people who don't fit the norm but for a general population, what being said is true. So for people who do that, why do you feel that bringing up ONE example against what someone says is sufficient to counter a "general" question?

While attendind the HIV/AIDS conference in Toronto, I attended a presetation by a Kenyan man who teaches gender equality to Kenyan men. Yet, when this man was offstage he siad that "Kenyan woman enjoy a good beating once in awhile. They like it cause it shows their men are strong and virile. And if they don't get beat they are dissapointed". This is not an exageration in any way. This made me sick to my stomach that this man is an "educator" to help men learn to respect women. And if he's the best there is there is really no hope for women to ever be equal. Are there any Kenyans who could address this? I just can't beleive in my heart that any woman wants to be beat. I am so tormented by this and just looking for some feedback.

Do people do drugs because they're poor as a form of escapism, or become poor from doing drugs? There's no single right answer, but generally, which is more true?

At one time, hard work and a good education could take you almost anywhere. But with outsourcing, public schools closing, vanishing jobs and an unproportionately high number of unemployed (or underemployed) people holding degrees, education is NOT the final answer. Comments on this?

I met a woman while shopping a week ago, we really hit it off; did the Cafe, and back to my place for lunch. It was great, we made love three times, the third time I had her ankles by my ears while I was pounding away, she’s moaning, starts to tremble then shake and then convulsing, nearly tearing my unit off. Her eyes roll back in her head and she starts shooting liquid everywhere, and then blacks out. I thought she was dead; she opened her eyes a few minutes later, said “hi” then fell asleep for almost three hours. I was totally freaked, she wouldn't wake up, I was covered in this liquid, it wasn't pee either, and I had to get ready for work. She finally wakes up, but she can't walk, and barely made it to the bathroom. She was so embarrassed, and said "it never happened before."

The thing is; I really had a good time with her, I was cracking up, but I don't want this chick dieing on me, is this normal? Has it happen to anyone else before? Does she need to see a Neurologist?

I love walking my dogs and being on my own (I have my own place) but sometimes I get a little paranoid from watching the news all the time and hearing about all these horrible attacks on women. So girls, what do you do to feel safe? I have pepper spray and I'm thinking about buying a tazer gun and of course my dogs help me feel protected. What do you do to protect yourself and have you ever felt unsafe?? No nasty remarks by women haters, thank you.

My wonderful fiance works extremely hard, in addition to helping our friends and neighbors with various problems. He is a giving wonderful human being with a great sense of humor and a staggering intellect. Everyone adores him, as do I. The problem, and what no one else sees, is that he is constantly angry and down in the dumps. He lets small inconveniences ruin his day and blows things way out of proportion. Example: he threw a fit last week because it was raining on a day that we had planned to BBQ with the neighbors. "Why does this sh!t always happen to me!!?" He screamed. Now, our life is pretty darn good in comparison to others, but I don't want to belittle his feelings or make him feel like he doesn't have a right to feel stressed out. But all the screaming and bitterness are really getting to me. I'm concerned about having children with a man who can't seem to find any joy in life. How can I help him appreciate life? Any serious advice would be appreciated.

Why do some people seem to be so upset about Pluto not being considered a planet? I know many of them don't understand the context or reasoning for the decision, but many reactions I see aren't just confusion, they seem positively resentful.
