Why do a lot of Brits make us Americans out to be stupid in their questions? They always ask why our accents sound so dumb, or why we can't spell? True, we aren't the smartest population, but I don't think it's really fair to generalize the whole nation. Any Americans feel the same way as me? Can any Brits tell me why they think we are stupid?

I am sick of the FAB FIVE saying straight men don't dress well. I do not like the kinky weird way gays dress. Also, who like Cojo on Entertainment Tonight? I quit watching the show when he was on. Imagine HIM giving "style" advice!
Just be normal and don't talk like women.

no, i'm not some anti-child activists,lol. i'm an 19-year-old aunt whose two twenty something sisters that have two children each. yeah they're cute, but they annoy me!! it has made me not want to have any kids. i've concluded there are only two reasons to even have kids:

1: to procreate more of your family(the reason for having a girl)
2: to keep the family name going for generations to come(the reason to have a boy)

instead of picking option 1 or 2 above it seems many people lie and say the following:

we wanted someone to love(isn't that why you are with your spouse?)
i want a big family (go to the olive garden and sit with another family)
it's the right time(yeah right)

all the of the other excuses that old people have come up with can easily be compensated with the following:

start a baseball card collection
adopting a pet
tending to your backyard garden
volunteering at a place on the weekends such as a camp or boy and girls club
watching wonder pets

can you give some reasons why?

No, I'm not trying to create controversy here . . . it's a legitimate question. I'll turn 40 this year, and have never been married. I am a confident, healthy, intelligent, romantic, not boring, and not too nice man. For some reason though, women hate me because of this.

It would be easy to say that I need to just "be myself" and some woman will eventually appreciate me . . . but that's no longer acceptable. My prime dating days are fading quickly. A change needs to be made, NOW.

With this in mind, what is the best way for me to become a bad boy so that women will want me? Should I slap them around? Cheat on them? Verbally abuse them? I'm open to any and all suggestions. Truly is a shame though that I have to sell my soul, just because I don't want to spend the rest of my life alone.

Only serious responses please.

It is now no longer necessary for men to be part of the reproductive process due to scientific advances. Therefore, are men necessary for other reasons? If so what are they> Would the world be a better place without them?

I'm on the East Coast and sometimes, certain people tend to act "funny." Like somehow they feel that they're better than everyone else? Around my way, when we see people who try to act all uppity we call it, "Actin' stank a dank dank." I'm sure you've seen these people. They pee, and poop just like the rest of us! What are your thoughts? And oh, just in case you happen to be one of those uppity types, "Smell ya, shouldn't have to tell ya!" Peace out homie!

ok well first, cuz i know it can be trickey...i have nothing against mixed couples in fact, my daughter is half mexican and half african...but i was thinking one day......wat if EVERYBODY was ok with marrying outside of their own race and so everybody's babies were mixed and then THEIR babies were mixed....wat if eventually (years and years and years from now) there were so many mixed babies that there were no longer any individual races.....everybody was relatively the same...could that be a possiblity (years and years and years from now)? and if so would that be a bad thing???....just a thought......

EXAMPLES
1.) If he wants her to abort,when she will not.
2.) If he would like her to keep the pregnancy,when she is opposed.
Should there be some law in place for him to have equal say?

I am going to be 57 next month and have worn blue jeans since I worked in a factory for 30yrs and live in a small country town in the midwest, where people normally dress casual. Most people my age have gone to sweat pants and shirts and I don't like that look. Should I keep my jeans for around home and get something more dressy for when I go into a Large city, or is it still socially exceptable for someone my age to wear jeans ? What is your opinion, hopefully I will hear from the ones older then eighteen.
