If someone were to say, "Your mom smokes crack", "Your mom smokes pole", or anything else diragatory about my mother, I fail to understand why someone would get angry.

Who cares what anyone thinks about your mother (or anyone else in your family). Just because loser nitwit says something about your mother doesn't mean it's true...getting angry just validates what the person said...

So what's the deal? Why do certain ethnic groups get so offended when you make fun of mothers. To be truthful, the more they get angry, the more I just want to do it...'Cause it makes me laugh!!

**Lots of people might get offended, but certain ethnic groups are notorious...for instance, go to Mexico and answer, "yer' mom" to any question and you will get your @ss kicked...or Bolivia...or Chile...

selfdestruction, selfhate, unchristian, ie antichrist, hellbent?

was jesus wrong or right? had he seen something that we hav [great] difficulty seeing?

we hav defied jesus's opinion for 2000 yrs, and for 2000 yrs we hav seen increasing violence war crime and weaponry - war and weaponry hav not been getting smaller - and now we stand on the brink of extinction - injustice & violence are still increasing, we face a century with disappearing soil, rapid population growth, shift of wealth-dominance to the third world - what does it take to make us alarmed, thoughtful, inclined to review our beliefs, seek out the error buried amongst our accepted ideas?

a 60th of the bombs we hav now can block out the sun forever [put enough smoke above the rain washout level] - perpetual global snowstorm

'the state built on injustice cannot stand' roman
'equality breeds no strife' athenian - ie, inequality breeds strife - we hav strife -
the founding fathers tried to limit fortunes

I was mommaof3 but I am now expecting a 4th kiddo in the spring. I am exercising, eating well and not drinking (or other stuff I never did anyway). For those of you who are pro-choice, does all this not matter how I treat my body since my baby isn't a baby yet (just "tissue")? I'm pro-life/anti-abortion. I was just wondering what you thought about a fetus that is wanted and will survive? Is it a valid baby just because I care about it and will not get rid of it? Really, I don't mean to be nasty, (it's hard to read tone in a written message) I really am curious where you stand.

We all know that women are less aggressive and violent than men on the average(for instance, women commit murder at eight times less the rate than men in the U.S.). In addition, men who are incarcerated for violent crimes have higher levels of testosterone than other prisoners, indicating that this hormone may play a role in male violence. So, in theory, at least, we could genetically modify our men in the future to be less aggressive and violent, and maybe our women as well. Also, in a world run by women, would there be less violence and aggression, or would women simply replace men as the aggressors? Does society need aggressors in order to function well?

Why does society view spanking children as taboo or abusive? Has it not been an effective child rearing tool for centuries?

than $2 million is not earned, is not fair, is theft, is injustice, which is evergrowing, which is misery [war, crime, violence, tyranny, slavery, destruction of the state, and now, thanks to e=mc2, nuclear winter, frozen planet, triple iceage]?

[pls answer the question, seriously, sincerely soberly, or not at all - ie, try to resist the temptation to give a silly useless pointless jokey reply, which makes me despair]

It seems these days people go emo to fit in to a certain group of people. So why do you want to fit in like that. Has the teens' crave for popularity gone to far?

Lately i've been going through a bad breakup with my boyfriend [or ex] but we're still getting back together possibly. Meanwhile I have a close friend who has liked me more than a friend for awhile and we're best friends. So last night I had a dream that I met my ex before class, and when we were saying bye he went in to kiss me, and after we kissed and he pulled back it wasn't him anymore but had turned into my close friend. What does this mean?

Does it mean I need to replace my ex with him? Or should I still keep working things out with my ex? Or what...

( I wasn't sure where to put this question )

Lets say the Martians finally decide to invade earth. I think ninjas are the only entities that could step forward to stop the alien threat. But the thing is, Martians have ray guns that desintegrate you, and they have big brains that allow them to think really fast. So they could form a good strategy really quick.
Ninjas are speedy creatures and could probably dodge the ray guns but may have a tough time keeping up with the Martian superior intellect.
Still, I think once the Ninjas discover they can crack the alien glass helmets its all over. Advantage ninja... opinions?

This employee acts as an administrative asistant to me and my partner. He seems to share a lot of time out of office with her on weekends. In most cases they are with spouses. For example go on trips together with spouses. But, sometimes go to lunch or dinner without spouses. Doesnt it jeopardize the professional relationship and does it jeopardize our partnership? Information about the company and possibly the employee performance is shared outside of the office (i.e. employee review status)

In europe they have a shorter work day, longer breakes and lunches. Yet they still seem to acomplish more in a work day than there distant cousins the americans.

Why is this? Are americans lazy? Is this a leftover effect of the poor american Scool Syestems?

When you're on the phone and someone asks you a question, do you 'click' and 'cluck' your tongue before answering? Do you think that sounds intriguing?
