It really doesnt seem right todays teachers struggle to survive and pay their bills while corporate Fatcats and politicians give themselves huge wage increases whenever the mood arises. Can anyone really support a family on the federal min.wage $5.15?

Here in this question I replied with my honest opinion.
I am a former US soldier that did time on the DMZ in Korea. I was there almost 2 years and got to know a bit about Koreans and thier varying attitudes.
It certainly does to the Koreans.
I honestly believe my answer has in its simplicity some insight into the situation in that area of Asia. Especially given my limited knowledge of history and direct experience. I think I raise a valid point.
Another respondent to this question 'Tiko' the last respodent to the question at hand has fashioned himself as a nemesis of sorts or so it appears and occaisionally haunts me on Yahoo Q&A. Thus, ignoring the point I am making and taking liberty to make jabs at my character.

At my school I get teased a lot. Some kids find it entertaining that I go for girls. They call me carpetmuncher, dyke, freak, sinner, unnatural and say that I must be rape girls, which is rediculous because girls almost never rape other girls or boys for that matter, girls are in much more danger from men and boys than lesbians. Some kids think it is just a riot that my mom is Hispanic and my dad is not. I get called half-blood a lot. Some kids find it very entertaining that I read books that are not childish teen novels. Apparenly prefering Edgar Allen Poe, Lovecraft and Anne Rice to the Princess Diaries is evil. Do you have some advice on how to deal with these fools?

Should we, and because I am one of them, be able (or continue) to just "take from the state" ?

We contribute absolutely nothing to the economy.
We may have contributed in the passed, but how come this a justification for just "taking" now in the present ?

I personally think that it is an abomination - ie "taking" !

Please do not think that this is a sympathy type question .

Should we not just simply be allowed to "depart" in peace and upset nobody ?

So, I love to sleep in the nude, but now that I'm in college, I can't really do it with my roommate sleeping in the bed next to me...

I really want to sleep naked, but what should I do about my roommate who might not appreciate it?!?!?!?!?

ok, so we're all homo sapiens, yet we all look different depending on the part of the world we come from. We all have different coloured skin, but thats to do with the environment our ancestors came from. But why do we have different eyes? Different size noses? Different types of hair? Is this all to do with where we are from? Or once upon a time, were we all different species of homo sapiens ?

...in some respects? Please do not misinterpret this question, of course I realise it was an atrocity and a terrible loss of innocent life that tore families, friends and even entire neighbourhoods apart. For what it is worth I truly do offer out my sympathies to all those directly affected by the horrors of that day.

But, on the other hand, did it not unite a people with a common cause, highlight the dangers in the world and make us realise just how much we take for granted in our day to day lives? Did it not bring us closer together in some respects?

Please do not answer this question if you have not understood my point.

Thanks.

someone stated on youtube that

"Let's just say this there is nothing in the human body that transmits race everyone has the same orgns. Melanin is present in people of color and none in white people. Don't get upset when I say this but white people will no longer exist. Yes I said it. The day will come when your recessive genes meet that of a person of color whose genes are dominant. So just get in your rude comments while you still have time."

Note: this is a halfway serious question. I see a lot of people living more and more of their lives online on places like Myspace (this also goes for folks who spent sixteen hours at a stretch playing world of warcraft) and I can't help but wonder when (and it probably is a when, not an if) someone figures out how to actually plug someone directly into a computer how many people will simply choose to live their lives entirely online in some artificial construct. Thoughts?

Political Correctness
Technology

because neither work !!!

Political correctness is stifling humour - when was the last time you heard a really funny joke like the old Scottish, English & Irish type jokes or some smutty witticism using a double entendre !

There's no discipline anymore - if you smack a child you're almost labelled a peodophile - & then we arrive at the hoody culture where only the other day I heard about a bus having a brick thrown at it and then the driver!

Technology - how many times have you heard on the phone ''I'm afraid I can't do anything sir - the systems down''. It's only down because it wasn't programmed properly in the first place or someone updated the system with new software that wasn't really compatible with the old or there's not enough memory to cope with the work load or, or, etc., ad infinitum.

Does anyone agree with me that THESE are the real issues in the world today and not yet another country wanting respect by gaining nuclear technology ?

What are your professional and personal (please make the distinction in your answer) opinions of vigilantes who carefully orchestrate their actions in order to nullify the threat posed by individual violent criminals within their own communities, without any negative effect upon the innocent population or undue media attention apart from that generated by their deeds?

EG, vigilantes who remain anonymous yet keep to a strict moral code (no collateral damage) and behave as professionally as one in that role can.
