I have noticed this with people in the banking and investing proffessions mostly. You could be talking about something totally off topic and they start talking about interest rates or something. You feel like telling them to shut up. What do you think might be their problem?

I know this is a sensitive question as it is only just over 5 years ago - BUT the world trade center was a civillian target and US citizens are understandably upset about it, my thought as someone from the UK that has been brought up with terrorist bombings affecting civillians is - if it had just been MILITARY sites within the USA would there have been as much outrage by the people because it was an attack within the US boundaries

I know this is very stupid, but serious answers please:
What does the sign with your hand where the first finger (thumb) and second finger and fifth finger are up,
and the third and fourth fingers are down (closed to your palm).
I see people mostly doing it in concerts.....

Is it clear what I'm talking about?

THANKS A LOT

There are these lakes near my house, I like going by them when I go horseback riding, they are so peaceful, out in the middle of no where. It's beautiful.

There is a bill for internet neutrality. No republicans are supporting this bill. Big bussiness is trying to get those who can pay big bucks to get preferintial treatment ON THE NET. Rs are in a tough position and do not want this to be a major issue. We are many write your local R and demand he support it or he will lose your support. It can be an issue If we the many make it one. Later it will cost big bucks in legal fees to fight but now it is election time. Make it an issue while it is free. WE ARE MANY MAKE IT AN ISSUE
go to savetheinternet.com

Note I have posted this b4 and the Republicans have really objected strenuously I figure this must be an area they know they can lose over. The net currently has neutrality, republicans have bills that will favor money we do not want that we want to keep our neutrality, keep the net it belongs to us save the net

This has to be undeniable proof, not biased opinions with no leg to stand on.

I haven't seen proof of this yet. If no one can actually prove this without a doubt, then it's a fallacy that people find comfort in believing. The only proof I've seen is that men and woman are both equally mature and immature depending on the individual and circumstances. I can't think otherwise without actual, unarguable proof. I'd be lying to myself if I just believed what people say, over what I've actually experienced.

And I don't mean who has the most knowledge on, say, like women have on babies and most men have on cars. Knowledge and maturity are two different things. I'm talking about people with highly developed minds and thoughts, and know how to logically handle most life's situations in a mature manner.

Bring on the proof.

I have 2 roommates. One is an Afghan that literally has a pistol and a rifle in his room and he seems to be a belligerant person. My other roommate seems to be flagrantly gay and i seriously think he has a thing for me. The other day i could not find any of my boxers. The only advantage to living here is that the rent is very low and i have a free parking space. Do you think i should find a different place to live?

Honestly for the past 8 years I have been married to a stoner. I turned into one after a few years and now I am a full on addict. Funny thing is, that I quit once a week, trying to sober myself up because I know it is wrong. Well I am in the middle of another sobering up try and I hate life right now. I hate my man for turning me down this path and I hate myself for going along with it. I live with him and my 2 wonderful straight A kids, (amaxing huh)_ yes my kids always meant the world to me. Now that my kids are school age I am trapped with this druggie and every time I try to sober up he is dragging me back and cannot get quality work Someone rescue me. Help me live while I go to school and make something of myself. Sure some of you will be unsympathetic but someone out there knows where I am. HELP ME!!! My only talent in the whole world is being a good mom.

I am 55 years old, married with one son, aged 25, employed and living separately.

I wake up at 6 in the morning. At 6:30, I am out with my bicycle for a 45 minutes vigorous ride to the beach and back home.

At 8, I have the second cup of tea of the day and go through two newspapers.

I have my shower at 8:45 and breakfast at 9:00.

I work from home, and I am at my desk at 9:15

At 1:00 I have my lunch and lie down for 30 minutes reading news paper. A short while later, I doze off.

After a half hour siesta, I have my tea and am back at my desk at 3:00 PM.

I work until 6:00 and then I go to a near by swimming pool for a 45 minute vigorous swim.

At 7:30 in the evening, I begin to have my whisky on my bedroom balcony. My wife and I talk about the day during that time. I also make a few phone calls to my friends.

By 10:00, I have had 240 ml of whisky, I am reasonably tipsy and have my dinner. At 10.30 I am off to sleep. Thanks to the whisky, the moment I put my head on the pillow, I go off to sleep.

I seldom watch TV.

On Wednesdays, I go to my Rotary Club meeting. After the meeting, I drink with my fellow Rotarians and discuss mainly politics.

Once a week, I meet my friends – one is a doctor and other is a professor - over a drink and come back home in time to go to sleep.

I used to go to my club twice a week, but now I don’t go much because I do not find the conversation there interesting. I find being with my wife more enjoyable.

I do not like travelling.

I have a beautiful garden, and gardening is my hobby. It gives me great happiness.

I enjoy good health.

Now, what would you call this sort of lifestyle, boring or interesting?

asking a question directed to women (and gasp! gay guys) what male celebrity they'd most like to come home and find laying naked in their bed. I've seen much more sexually explicit, racist, hateful and nasty questions and comments on here and never reported anyone. Should I start reporting every question or comment that I don't like?
