Africa is a continent rich with such natural resources from oil to diamonds to gold that if they could band together into a European Union like continent and hinder corruption (a long shot, but who knows)- they would be able to gain control of the global economy easily. I've even heard of a movie in which this actually is portrayed and Americans and Europeans flock to Africa in roder to find work, but are turned away (due to racism and payback)- anyone else agree or disagree with my statement?

Does ability to laugh at ourselves make life easier or it just covers up the coplexes inside us?

8 Trillion Dollars- and daily it increases by nearly 2 billion dollars since 2006. So each US citizens' share (out of 301 million citizens even those babies) is nearly $30,000 (if they paid today...) I just find it ridiculous that the national debt is astoundingly high and we complain when third world nations are incapable of paying their debts.

Sometimes, when I'm having a dream, I'll realize I'm asleep and in a dream. When I do, I am able to fly and do all kinds of stuff that's a total blast. Usually I fly around which is so fun but I almost always wake up shortly after that. Is that weird though - to be asleep and know it? Has that happened to anyone else?

A woman does not want the truth; what is truth to women? From the beginning, nothing has been more alien, repugnant, and hostile to woman than the truth - her great art is the lie, her highest concern is mere appearance and beauty.

why is it that some at church associate a single person who happens to smile at someone in order to be curteous, as flirtatious behavior? they act asthough you must be having a sinful thought just because your single and therfore needy or something.

I just checked recently in wikipedia that Spain is now the 8th largest economy in the world(They're now richer than Canada and expect to surpass Italy this year) and in 3 or 4 more years analyst expect Spain to surpass Germany (The Spanish president himself said this). And I've been wondering how they're managing to do so well so fast?. One thing I found out is that the biggest companies in latin america are own by spaniards.

Here's a link so you can find out more:

Do you think there's another factor why Spain is becoming richer and richer?

I have a follow up question about your answer to my last question http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlJJ9IEya05.bsjcwYzlf_rAFQx.?qid=20070318172347AA2Q3OZ , but you don't allow emails. Of course, I welcome anyone else's insights as well.

"equality is great, but tryannical women who try to make women out to be better then men is wrong. they are without a doubt different, but the differences are neccessery and equal in value. feminists deny there is such thing as gender and try to act as men themselves."

Alright, I can agree that there are differences in gender, and that none of those differences makes anyone less. Even that there is value in some of those differences.

My question is in your very last comment. In what way do feminists offend you by acting like men? How exactly does a man act, that should not be copied by a woman?

Thanks, if you choose to answer!

I need to write a report for my english class. It can be a modern woman, or someone historical. I'd especially be interested in women who influenced the film and television industries. Thanks!

What makes you tick? What makes you so mad that tears start streaming down your face? What makes you want to rip heads off of the shoulders of people? What makes you want to shout so loud that the world can hear only you?

Now, what do you do when your at your emotional breaking point? Do you punch things? Do you cry? Do you write? Etc.

Why?

Sorry if I'm being nosy, I'm just curious.
