What happened to your ability to communicate? I mean, why can't you type out 'you', or put in commas, or just look over the sentence to see if it makes any sense at all. Some of these questions look like someone just smashing their face against the keyboard. If you really want an answer, why can't you type it in a reasonable, mature manner? This is not cybersex-answer-talk, is it?

I've seen several people do that. I didn't get the point of it though.

I have a 9 month old son. I wonder sometimes if I handle compliments regarding him properly. If someone says directly to me "Oh, he's so cute" I, of course, respond by saying "Thank You." But what if they are looking at/talking to him and say "Oh, you are just so cute!" Should I say thank you? Sometimes it just seems inappropriate. Obviously he can't reply so what is the right thing to do? Looking for serious suggestions only please...

There is a high school in metro Indianapolis that showed pictures of high school students drinking wine, playing beer pong, and smoking marijuana in the yearbook. Should this be banned from being produced in the yearbook or should first amendment rights protect the students from censorship in their yearbook?

When someone calls something that they think is stupid "retarded" they are, at the same time, calling retarded people stupid. And they're not. Do people just not think before they speak or do they need mental evaluations themselves?

I have never, nor will I ever, purchase anything from a telemarketer -- the fact is, they are *intruding* on my personal space in their attempts to sell me something, and their sloppy attempts at pronouncing my name *really* rubs me the wrong way - basically, they're all take and no give.

What do you think might be the best way to handle these calls without making my blood pressure go up, and in the process, ruining another person's day - just because I don't like the nature of their job or the way they go about doing it, doesn't mean I deserve to lose my equilibrium over them.

Any ingenious ideas?

I went to a family reunion this past Saturday. I had noticed that my children were the only children there who waited thier turn and said please and thank you. My brother had made the comment he wished his kids were as polite as mine but said nothing when his daughter said " GET ME A DRINK" ...I think it's pretty important for children to talk to others with repect!!! Don't you? And do you think it should be taught more in school?

When people used to judge me first, and pass bad comments like, she's pretty-so she's conceited, or cuuss me out and call me a bia before I even talked to them, I would usually give them a smile, and say have a nice day or something. But lately I can't just do that. It's getting to me. What should I do?

If I call someone's cell phone and we get cut off...who is supposed to make the call back. Do you wait for the person who is apparently out of range or whatever to call you (me) back or do I make the call again.

I personally thought the best tips were the ones that dealt with bathroom etiquette. It was really interesting, especially since Billy Bob wrote that section.

We react to the same thing, or the same situation differently. Yet, I still would like to ask people out there what bothers them most. People being insensitive? People cutting you short all the time? Or people being loud?
