There are no instruments involved, only a computer to make noise while someone speaks very fast with the computer noises. I don't see where any talent is needed to make it.

When I was a kid in Scotland, we went round people's houses at Halloween, but it wasn't called Trick or Treat, it was called geising. (Not sure of the spelling - can you enlighten me?). We didn't just stand in costume demanding sweets, we actually *earned* our sweets by doing a wee performance.

Did anyone else do this? Do kids still do this sometimes or is it only "trick or treat"? Is it exclusive to Scotland? Cos when Lorain Kerry told Janet Street-Porter about it this morning, JSP knew nothing about it.

Dec 25th was recognized as the winter solstice day. The day attributed to Mithras' birth LONG before Jesus was said to have been born on that day. So either suck it up and give up on claiming Halloween is evil or admit your hypocrisy that Christmas isn't evil as well.

This is a semi-serious question. Now I know that it doesn't take beliefs to walk around and take candy from strangers, but how do they justify the overtones of evil, spirits and so on?

I waitressed for years in Florida, and I dreaded waiting on Canadians. No matter what the bill was, if you were lucky you would get 50 cents. Most times nothing. And, it wasn't just me. All the waitresses said the same thing. In fact, if you got stiffed on a table, and they came in again, it was almost a guarantee that they were from Canada. Do they not tip in Canada, or do they have something against Americans?

Why is it people who do not believe in a religion or in a God ask so many questions in the Religion and Spirituality section? And by ask I mean insult religions (Christianity for the most part)? Is it simply to provoke a reaction or to gain insight on something you don't understand? I'm not trying to come off as condescending, I just don't understand.

I remember Tom Cruise telling Matt Lauer, "You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do!" Oh, really? Are we supposed to believe that he spent hours studying psychiatry texts and journals while he wasn't filming movies or jumping on Oprah's couch? Also, there was a feature on "48 Hours" about a young schizophrenic man who killed his mother while he was in a psychotic state. His parents were Scientologists who didn't believe that he needed meds or counseling, and for that reason, they didn't get him the help he so desperately needed and now his mother is dead as a result.

I have seem allot of questions that are mostly whining about the question or answer being pulled... Do these people not know the rules. Have they not read the TOS.
I do NOT report things because I am mean, vindictive or any of the other nonsense they claim. I only report the things that turn my stomach and make me need a barf bag...the guilty know what vile junk they post and they are just baiting the censor so why do they pretend to be the victim in this.
Are they really so immature and selfish.? Do they think they are above the rules.? Do they really not get how deeply offensive they are?
whenever they post an example of what was pulled it is obvious what they did.... I do not understand why anyone would be so blatently rude, selfindulgent and inconsiderate...

Now at some point in our lives we have all been rejected by someone. So why is that when ask me to "*&!k them and I say that I'm not interested, I suddenly am a *****? And if the guy is of a different ethnicity than myself I'm always called a racist. Not that I really care what they think. I was just curious to know what's up? Can't a girl just not be interested in someone? And am I really a ***** because I don't want to hook-up with someone? I'm normally polite until I feel like they are being too pushy about it. Then I usually walk away.

*!* I know this is Yahoo Answers and some people will say I'm a ***** for it. And that's fine. Sometimes it's funny. But I would like an honest opinion please.*!*

Suppose this power is real, how would one go about avoiding harming others? Heck, how would one be sure it's not a poltergeist, assuming they are real? What about sexual fantasies? You could end up psychically raping someone.
