Society & Culture - 7 July 2006

Yahoo! Answers is testing a theory that us, Yahoo! Answerers, outperform computers when it comes to solving complex human problems. All the Yahoo! Save the Planet questions are being processed to determine whether or not real solutions can be derrived by all of our ramblings. At any rate, I'm composing a term paper for my grad school organizational management course, 15 pages and due Sunday, and I want to work this theory into my paper. If you have any info, theory names, links, anything that I could read about how communities of blabberers are efficient at solving complex problems, it would be much appreciated! Thanks, Allen.

Man saw the world, He thought, hmm there's water for me, food for me, so the world was MADE for me.. Then his kids asked questions and he had no answer, so he made sh*t up. THAT'S your bible. Right?

Hey, I'm Muslim and i heard something that my Christian friend tell me about Christianity...
If everyone will back to a 'better place' why you do good things? If you do a sin and you still get a 'better place', why don't you sinning around?
Then after sinning around, the world will cause a real CHAOS!
So, I think Christianity is a real CHAOS!
What d'ya think about my thoughts?

And some addition explainings. I dont want you blame Islam because of some false Muslims that blow themself near innocent people because of some misunderstandings about jihad. Islam really really hate killings. And y'know in Islam: The punisment for killing is death.

The question is in the first paragraph.

Every Tueday morning i walk to my local cemetery and leave flowers and gifts for the dead. There are severals grave sites that I visit regularly and have a connection to. I was just wondering what sort of gifts you would leave? Or possibly something that maybe I could leave.

Please do not give me any stupid answers such as : "thongs!" or anything sexualy related for that matter.

This is a serious question that I would like thoughtful and serious answers for.

Thanks.

A woman that her husband was happy now and felt no pain. The woman was amazed. Asking "How could the ( very large) medium know her husband felt pain" ? Isn't it obvious that old ppl feel pain? Arthritis and stuff? Why are these ppl so gullible?

There is a lot to be said for the roles they've played as rebels against an imposing Empire--just a thought.

The world is a big place and we spread all over it. But is there more yahoo.answers participants from a certain part of the States than others? Maybe we'll find out! What State are you from? I'm from Florida.

Typically it is Prodistants that seem to have a question as to whether or not I am really a Christian. Well let me put your minds at ease I am a Christian. Jesus is the way, the turth and the Life. I believe in Christ how can I put it any plainer than that?

What is the misunderstanding Protestants have with Roman Catholics? How serious is this problem? How is it related to the Virigin Mary? Has it got to do with evolution?
