im an asian and always wonder why philippines is in a poor state.
I will mention the fact that rich are corrupt and selfish and hypocrites and the poor are lazy and irresponsible for having too many kids that they can not support. I wonder why it is socially accepted for kids to turn to prostitution or nude shows for survival.... these are the facts of life in philippines and i want to information about the real roots of these problems. i dont' want to hear to generic response blaming a corrupt government. What is going on in the minds of filipinos???? AND WHEN I RAISE THIS QUESTION, WHY DO FILIPINOS ACCUSE ME OF RACISM???

ARE ALL FILIPINOS HAVE THEIR HEAD IN THE SAND OR REACT ONLY EMOTIONALLY TO THEIR PROBLEMS RATHER THAN RATIONALLY TO FIX THEM.

It seems like every time I ask a question criticizing Yahoo's haphazard question-removing methods or careless account suspending, THAT question gets deleted.

Is going out of your dorm room to the restroom(in the college dorms) in a tight undershirt(show cleavage which you don't normally do) and jeans or go to talk to a guy about a class assignment because you can't find a girl? You like sleeping in undershirt and jeans because it helps you stay cool, Is that disrespectful to self?

I normally wear modest clothes but since it's the dorms I don't care I'm just in a hurry lol and I don't do it for attention or anything.

For life to occur the conditions of a planet have to be just right. Think about it. Think of earth and then all the other lifeless planets we know of.

-Some planets are far too hot or cold (too cold means no liquid water)
-Most planets have no air, or poisonous atmospheres
-Some planets have crushing pressures

In a way the conditions on Earth are almost 'just right', is this too lucky to be a coincidence?

I bought the wrong shampoo from Whole Foods and the store is closed right now so I can't call them and ask if they take returns. I'm sure they do on some thing but what about shampoo and conditioner?

Whenever my parents disagree with something I like, they shake their head and tell me "that isn't normal", and i'm sure throughout ppls lives they heard that as well. You have a special gift, "no i don't want to see spirits, i want to be normal". My question to the world is..what is normal defined as-on a whole? (in your opinion)...and...why?

I say its not fast food restuarants. I say, its people so used to getting everything so easy and this comes back to how they were raised. Don't you think we live in a society where we blame our past but never take responsiblility of how we handle our future? Do you think we live in a" Point the finger at everyone else for our problems" and never take the time to point the finger at ourselves? I say its people not taking more action at the way the Government offices should investigate people who claim disablility, yet out raking the lawn and playing basketball per say. Claiming they have limited mobility. Free loading has got to stop!!!!!!!!! No wonder we are all getting fat. Back in the good ole days, they didn't worry about obesity, they worried about making a living and getting off thier butts to do just that. They had no government to sponge off then. How, did we get to this I ask?

Without that event happening 65 million years ago, humans would not be here. At least, not yet. If that event happened, a few million years later, we would still be evolving today. Or what about if that asteroid hit Earth 100 million years ago. We might have far exceeded our current stage of evolution.

That extinction event was the last of several major events that caused the extinction of most of the life on the planet over the life of the planet, about 4.5 billion years. Of all the life that has ever existed on this planet, only 1% has survived. "Extinction is the Rule, Survival is the exception." as Carl Sagan once said.

Why couldn't god just create humans right out of gate, Instead of going though the amazing amount of time, chance and luck in order for life on our planet, humans included, to evolve. Evolution is a fact, it really happen. To me, natural selection and evolution does not speak of a creator. Or maybe he is in hiding, it seems doubtful though.
