Apparently Islam is growing rapidly in Latin America both by immigration and conversion. Has anybody had experience with this? How do the muslims relate to the surrounding culture; do they integrate or separate themselves? Do they follow local customs or customs from the middle east or elsewhere?

Why is correlation not a proof that one thing causes another? How would this apply to the statement alot of kids who are violent watch violent video games therefore the video games are causing the violence.

I have three cousins, and their mother was born in Africa and their father is "white". They are neither black or white. So I don´t want no racist comments. I hate these names: Black, White, Red, Yellow... When/ if you are talking about China, do you say the "yellow" people??? It´s just sick!!!

And please, something besides the ol' "hormones" excuse, since when to hormones excuse the behavior? Hormones also give people the urge to be violent but there's a difference between feeling and acting. How the hell does anyone think they're gonna get respect by being a manwhore. I mean shoot, I'm a guy and I don't get it. I mean I love women and if there's any urges I'll just beat em off, because I'd rather respect my woman by giving myself to her and not someone else. I mean, if I was a woman I couldn't handle the thought my husband sleeping with other women. We owe women the same respect that we demand from them. I don't think children should have to be sentenced to fatherless homes and STDs either.

November 10th is the anniversary of the death of my first born son 4 years ago. He died in our (my wife and I) arms. His passing was roughly a year after I lost my best friend in a tragic accident. I witnessed this from 50 feet away but could not save him. He passed in my arms on the way to the emergency room. My heart is broken and I feel real pain there. Thier deaths replay in my mind and I often wonder what I could have done different. I wonder...why me. How do I learn to live with this? How do I let go.

Sincere replies only. Thank you in advance for your thoughts

How far do you agree or disagree with the following statement: women's brains works in a different way from men's, so it follows naturally that men and women have different inherent skills and abilities.

PLEASE answer more than such these things " it's more than obvious ………"

Some of these people on yahoo answers have over 50,000 points and are like level 7. Do they do nothing but answer questions all day? Do their employers actually know that they are wasting company time adding their two cents on every question? Or my guess is that they don't have jobs to begin with. Get a life people.

say you won 10 GBP and you had the option to delay the win for 1, 2, 3, 5 or 10 years. How much would you like in those respective years? I need this data for an economic experiment.

An example:
1 year: 11 GBP
2 years: 13 GBP
3 years: 15 GBP
5 years: 20 GBP
10 years: 50 GBP

As a former social worker, I have witnessed many families in these situations. People have children as an afterthought and continue to keep it that way after they are born. Sometimes they pop out kids like popcorn, continuing to ignore or care for them. These poor children never seem to get enough to eat nor proper care and attention. The social service agencies are so overwhelmed with the high number of these cases, they can only take a few of the worst cases away from these "parents." No places to put them any how. What to do ? How do you get through to them? I am afraid of making them too angry as they may take it out on those poor babies.
(By the way, I was just accused of being rude by confronting one of these idiots online. After bragging about how many kids they poped out, the usual response when you ask how they could possibly care for that many is it is none of your busniness. Of course it is all of our business. Do you think I should have done that? )
