thanks for your answers. i'm Malawian, the rapes and canibalism is new to me. of course to some of you its everyday news, but its scarying the crap out of me! but my once peaceful world has turned. now instead of fighting poverty we are wasting money jailing perverts and murders and we cant even protect our children.
what would you do?

... wearing the clothes they do.
why is it that so many women and young women dress like hokers or just plain trashy? what happened to people respecting themselves and others? i know people have dressed like this for awhile, but there used to be alot less of them and they were teenagers. now i see older women setting this example also.
there are so many girls wearing skin tight pants and shirts (if you can call them that)
i just don't get it.
what do you think?

I know what most would say. Of course not. But consider this: The strive of modern technology is to keep people alive longer. Due to this, we have an overpopulation dilemma. When someone gets a disease, we cure the disease, more people are alive to populate the Earth and destroy the environment. We consume our resources at an alarming rate, until our planet is barren. In this light, technology is a cancer. As horrible as it sounds, without technology, people would have shorter lifespans, more people would die and we would solve our population problem. I know the irony of me typing this on Yahoo, but bear with me. Just a theory.

It sounds like you guys have fun with your costume planning, etc - I've seen a lot of questions pertaining to this.

In Oz we "do" halloween, but nowhere near to the level that you guys do.....wonder why not?

I moved all the way across the country to be closer to my boyfriend of a year. He went on Spring Break to Mexico while I stayed back. I really did not feel comfortable with him going for I know what goes on during Spring Break. He did call me every day though and promised me he would not do anything to hurt me while he was away. While he was away I had been asked to model at the Maxim party in Boston and had found a new job. So he came back and I was doing well, but he could not sleep at night. Turns out he had cheated on me on Spring Break, the dumbass left his e-mail account open and the girl had written to him. She did not even know he had a girlfriend. I called him out on cheating and he said he wasn't going to tell me since he did not want to hurt me. What really sucked is he slept with me right when he got home, that really was not cool and I made him get tested. Anyways, he said he could not give me a reason why he did it. Why would someone cheat on someone they love?

What is your opinion. Should illegals stay or go? I think they should become legal or go.

Too much spying on US. Citizens & invasions of privacy going on.

1. Tracking chips are put in our clothing
2. Cameras in schools, gas stations, stores, fitting rooms, bathrooms, stop lights,etc
3. Strip searches & x rated x-ray machines in airports
4. Homeland security listens to our phone calls
5. Strip searches in High Schools
6. cameras in fast food places
7. The Government monitors our spending habits.

Why does our Government spy on Americans?

To be frank, I just cannot be bothered with people, I find them uninteresting and boring.

All I want to do is play computer games, and when I'm with people I would rather not be there. So much effort to talk that just doesn't seem worth it.

I have friends but I'm gradually phasing them out because I feel it's completely pointless spending time with them, it pretty much feels like I'm wasting time. They have to convince me to go out.. offering me incentives and stuff. I have to try and make excuses. I really would rather stay in, but I feel some kind of pressure to go out, wtf is this? Why should I have to do something I don't want to do? Why can't I be happy? When I'm at home I feel happy, relaxed, and I play computer games on my PC, surf the web, research business ideas, I have NEVER felt lonely when I'm on my own, so I don't have a need for social interaction. When I'm alone I feel in a positive and constructive state, I can get things done quickly, and I can think deeply, people

It was said by a white "English" girl on the opposing team. So I could see why she would be offended because it would be like calling somebody a racial slur.

But what are the main differences between Pakistan and India people. I know that religion is one, but not sure of the religions involved. If two were of different religions would this prevent two people from friendship? Like in college?

I love people from India, I work with a lot of them and go to school with them, but I do not understand their cultural differences...I do not want to offend anyone with my ignorance, so if I come across as mean spirited it is only my lack of knowlege. And I am sorry.

One study of 122 men between the ages of 17 and 25 years old rated women described as independent and assertive as less physically attractive than women described as affectionate and compassionate.

So my question is, if you're a guy, do you prefer women who are independent and assertive OR women who are affectionate and compassionate? And pls don't answer both. Choose one only.

I'm looking for someone who became famous because their sibling invented something, or discovered something, or was a great leader (military, government, etc), or along these lines, not an actor or singer.

Relative= something having, or standing in, some relation to something else.

In short, is the concept of what is good and evil dependent on circumsatnce, people, environment, etc?
If time is relative, is it that far off to say ideas are too?
I want to hear what you PERSONALLY think and why.
