Okay lets say that you are working for Donald Trump and you just failed a major assignment. He calls you into the boardroom and has to fire someone (You are the one that overlooked the project and it wasn't really your fault). He asks you who you would fire.Your best friend was the weakest link on this assignment. So what would your answer be to donal trump?

I was always interested in what a right answer would be in response to this question. I really am looking for a good answer to this question.

I have often thought of this and I am stumped as to what I would say.

So would you take the intellectual answer and rat out your best friend, or would you take the emotional answer and not rat him out?

I saw a little blip on TV a while back.. just a poll really
but it said the majority of Americans Believe at some unknown point in the future Americans will have an armed conflict with the government.
Oh sure I hear a lot of talk about it but I don't know of any group or real reason for folks to do this.
so my question is simply do you think people will take up arms at some unknown point?
and if so what would need to happen to trigger it?

This condition was never heard of or categorised years ago, why the sudden increase in awareness now?

I don't believe it's a medical condition more a product of devolution. The kid's are just plain bad, probably due to a cr@p diet of turkey twizzlers, crisps and sunny delight and equally bad parenting. Is this the reason for a huge rise in "sufferers" (I really hate to use the word sufferer for such a thing)?

Beyond the normal average to great benefits many companies provide, as a worker, what type of benefits would you appriciate the most? Gym membership, once a month spa treatment, comedy night etc.

If you really wanted to make your employees feel appriciated, how would you reward them beyond bonuses, compliments or promotions?

I have been asking questions on here with no interest in the answers. I am interested in the reasons why the people answered. I deal with 100s of people each week in person. I find that they are all basically good people. I have been asking religious questions but I'm not religious. I just find that religious people are generally close minded. I am asking the questions to force close minded people to think. My logic is that if I ask a question those who are curious will be intrigued welcome the mental stimulation and that the close minded will flame me and fume over the answer there by giving it more consideration out of irritation that they would in an even tempered debate. Is this a waste of time even though I enjoy it?

If heaven is the mind of god and hell is the mind of satan. Then when you die and you lived a bad life, you die with those lies and actions still heavy on your mind. If you live a good life and have no illusions about your belief then you die in peace. the bible is a collection of events told and retold for many years. Is the real truth about heaven and hell that when you die you decompose and go now where but if you have lived a good decent life then you live forever in the stories and memories of man kind. If you die lying to yourself then you will be forgotten. Essentially, the difference between heaven and hell is the foot print you leave behind. Will it still be there a thousand years later? Just tired and asking. I'm agnostic and am just musing.

Evolution vs. Creation, Muslim vs. Christian, Oprah vs. Dr. Drew

These just seem like stupid and pointless debates that do nothing but cause division. Division over nothing, it seems.

Why don't they shift their focus to something more tangible. Like auto mechanics, or gardening?

In christianity, God cast Satan out. I am agnostic to demonstrate my position. If God cast Satan out then it stands to reason that God still had a purpose for Satan otherwise God would have destroyed him. Is heaven a place or and ideal. Like Jesus is the son of God and he is also god. The duplicious nature could be extended to say that the Location of heaven is also God. Heaven is the mind of god and to do his bidding is to enter into the mind of god. What was unknown becomes known. If heaven is god, it stands to reason that when god cast satan out then god created a second place--Hell which in like fashion is the mind of Satan. It was taught to me in college and in Math classes (none advanced) that there are no absolutes. Allow me to explain my thoughts. If you eradicate all that is considered evil in the world you are left with only good. After achievement of this state it is logical that the definition of evil will be redefined. Does each exist only to define the other?

I am going to have to say no. Based on the "text book" definition of racism, it is not possible. I am not talking about just being - prejudice, hateful, biast or a biggot. I mean covert and overt racsim and subordinating an entire ethnic group.

Can somebody tell me how working in a casino is like? I heard that many casinos are affilated the mobs, triads, and hoodlums.

If I work in a casino, will I get to work only in the job I am employed in or will I have to do something illegal as well, like selling drugs to innocent patrons? If my boss is linked to the mob, will he send some of his cronies to terrorise me if my job is not up to expectation?

Will my family be safe from the mob?

Hey, no offence intended. Just asking. Need to know my next move. Can someone just give me an insight into how working life in a casino is like?

There is reservation for the govt. jobs, in educational institutions and even for promotions, for certain castes. This is not based on economic criteria, but purely on caste. Do your country such a thing? This is causing the efficiency to suffer? Please indicate your nationality.

(well, I don't have much space to explain this, so here's what i'll give you:)

It is apparent to me that America has become highly populated with ingorant fools. Now before anyone is quick to get offended, just take a moment to yourself and think how many stupid people you know or have encountered.
Quite a few, eh?

Well I don't have anything specifically against stupid people, some of them can't help it. I just think that less intelligent people need to realize their position, and that they can not go around acting out as they please.

As an alternative to extermination or deportation (my other solutions to this problem), should we create a seperate defined social class for the less intelligent people?
Now before I go into a long rant about this, I would just like you to set aside the American law system and the Bill of Rights for now, and instead give me your personal opinion.
What do you think?

Why can you not ask a curious question without people taking you seriously.
I find yahoo answers fun because you can ask anything but I've been annoyed lately because people assume because you ask something that your that type of person.
For example you can ask how long would it take to walk to california from dc ... and you don't get answers you get ignorant comments like... why would you walk to cali, or why not take a plane, or your crazy to want to walk... Well duh... it's a question, I wasn't seriously considering this..

That'd be one example...

So why is everyone so serious on here and why is it so hard just to answer what was asked???????
