Instead they use questions for a reply. Do they belong to a certain category of character. What I mean,are they arrogant people or is there any other title we can give to them.

over the aisles about 4 aisles apart, they were comparing prices on things they wanted to buy, you could hear them through out the whole store, why do people feel the need to yell like that? wouldnt it be better to talk to each other vis a vis?

Further to this, they are usually eastern europeans who can't speak english. What do they hope to achieve - the're not gonna get jumped in the street, and we're not gonna go back to their place, and we're certainly not going to return the compliment.
By the way, it's not a compliment, not the way they say it!!

At times. Example: This may be cultural (?). People from Mexico & western Africa tend to stare intrusively at strangers. It makes me uncomfy. Like when I'm walking into my apt. & I glance around. People (always of other cultures) are staring at me like they are watching television! Unflinching stares that last for several minutes. This occurs in grocery stores, malls, etc. I find it offensive. It makes me want to go OFF. I've noticed they sometimes do it to each other also yet, I'm usually to busy to see how most immigrants respond to being on the receiving end of this. Once I saw a black American say to a West African "WTF do you want?! Stop staring at me dumbazz!" LOL the WA person looked sheepish and stopped. Maybe they aren't even aware they're doing it? Maybe it’s the price we pay for shabby immigration law/immigrants who come here with no interest in our culture or in any kind of assimilation. How would you handle this uncomfortable situation, confront, ignore or something else?

Someone just asked the cost of a 'bear' in Egypt! Now if this is a big furry beast, non-native to Egypt, it's rather distracting. If on the other hand, it's a 'beer', that's making it difficult for genuinely helpful people to respond sensibly. So to all those who say we're pedantic or small-minded, how do you answer this one?

I'm curious. Do you mind it if a member of the opposite sex uses a public restroom dedicated to your own sex in an emergency? (women going to the mens room or men going to the ladies room when they can't hold it). Please state your reasons and be honest.

When Muslims enter a free society should they accept that those freedoms are deeply cherished by the indiginous population.If they can't accept our freedoms is this country really the place for them.Should they consider moving on to a place that meets their standards.

I left it at the cash register. Later, I called the store but it was closed. One hour later they called me & said I could pick it up tomorrow. It only had a few dollars in it, but much info that I need. Should I tip the store manager who called me to report finding it?

Or the police in England, and tried to make them say phrases from Monty Pythons Flying Circus ?
It's pretty fun, especially if they don't know what you're talking about.
I once got an Inspector from ScotlandYard to say "tungsten carbide drill bits"

Why doesn't anyone take the time to actually write out a word, or sentence , without using shorthand, incorrect spelling, and improper grammar? Don't they teach you how to do this in school anymore? Or are people just lazy? I mean for crying out loud, Yahoo Answers provides spell check, and I still read questions that are about impossible to read. Don't people own dictionaries anymore?

Suppose a woman is seirously attacking a man (for example, she's hitting him with a baseball bat, or she's grabbing his private parts and won't let go, or she's trying to bite a chunk out of him, etc. Why isn't it ok for a man to hit her back to prevent serious injury to himself? If he doesn't, he (an innocent man) gets seriously injured. If he does, a violent woman (who chose to seriously attack the man) gets hit. Why is the former option better than the latter?

Personally, I think it's better for the violent woman to get hit than it is for the innocent man to be injured, since the man didn't attack anyone and doesn't deserve to be hurt.

For the women who believe the man has no right to hit back, how can you demand that he not protect himself? If a man was attacking you, wouldn't you have the right to fight back to stop the man's attack? Why isn't it OK for a man to do the same thing if it's necessary?
