Just a survey. You can state your reasons if you would like to. I just want to get the actual figures. I am not in anyway connected to the problem. I am happily married. Just wanted to know your inputs . Thanks.

Have you been disappointed, because of the outcome of something you had been looking forward to turnout differently than you had expected? 1)What were you expecting? 2) what did you get (what was the outcome) 3) what did you learn from the experiance.

I am white first off but i never felt any hate or disrespect for any culture or race.

But i CANT stand uncontrolled immigration, i think it is a terrible thing in the USA, and i do mean this to about mexicans mostly but really anyone too
There are many reasons why i think its bad, i will list a couple so you know a little of how i view it

Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare
The cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was, (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay), a NET $70 BILLION/ year, [Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University ].
40% of all workers in L.A. County (L.A.County has 10.2million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This was because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card.

these facts can be found anywhere, in fact i believe the LA times had a huge article on it a bit ago
My best friend is half bolivian half mexican, both his parents came to the US legally

If it's so important to learn/know how to get along with other races, how come there's no (or only few) racial realted classes in college?
How and where do the children learn how to treat other race people fair as well as to learn how to protect himself from being hurt by unfair racial discremination?

why do you think these kids (i mean i'm pretty young myself) ask these blanket questions about what do guys like, what do girls like? Broader questions have never been asked. When i was younger i knew better then to ask a "dumb impossible to get a REAL answer to" question. Do you think kids are getting dumber and they really have no clue about other people? I only ask because I was not like that, neither were the kids I hung around.

What I mean is, what do you think of its meaning ('Exhistance' in Hebrew and 'Hazelnut' in French), its origin, and the way it sounds. I know everyone has their own opinions, but I am hoping to find a good name for a character of a story for my English class.

Heres the senerio: Someone is going to hurt/abuse/kill someone else, and they have them in their grip, how do you stop them, how do you convince them to stop. And worse, if you know they will go on to hurt abuse kill others, are you responsible for not stopping them?
And last so we have no confusion here, this person, is someone you love.
This is totally hypothetical, it is a philosophical question I would like to see better worded.
Also I would love to hear your answers.

Lets say you had a crush on a girl you thought was really pretty, and sweet, and funny, and charming, but you didn't talk to her that much, so you didn’t really know that much about her, for example what she likes to do for fun, who her friends are, what she does on the weekend, stuff like that.

What if you found out that she had to wear a wig because of a medical issue? If the wig was glued on to her head, and looked real, was made out of real human hair, would you be freaked out still? Would you stop liking her? Would she seem less attractive to you?

Would it be hard for you to like her since you didn’t really know her, you were just attracted to her and you found that out? Would you date her?

Please be honest! This is very important to me. Don't sugar coat your answers, just be honest.

Now I know that the person who hit her didn't wake up this morning and intentionally want to hit a 16 year old girl, but crap....this poor teenager is being flown to a trauma center right now.....why can't people just pay the F_ ck attention the the road??? Is what you are doing in the car MORE important than somebodies life??

Anyone from Mexico, a question about coffee...?
When My hubby and I were in the Yucatan (2000) for our honeymoon, I noticed that the coffee (BLACK!) was rather sweet. In fact, it's the only time in my life when I preferred to drink it black. Is this a particular brand of coffee, or is it brewed with sugar, or ...? I would love to try to make it like this at home.
I posted this earlier and got no response, so any help would be awesome!

i.e. do many fantasize about sexual encounters with other men, or would partake in same sex encounters?

It was also suggested to me that the more lesbian a porno is, the straighter the guy watching is. what do you think.

I used to think that most men were straight, but now I have a sneaking suspicion that most men have gay tendencies and thoughts. In other words, all men are gay but on any level from 0 to full blown.

I think it's just sexual objectification of woman, since men seem to not care if they're actually lesbian or not; just as long as they hook up with each other. But I'm interested in what fellow Yahoos! have to say.

Please, no ignorant, testosterone-intoxicated responses.

Let me count the ways, I thank thee to the height, and depth, and breadth my soul can reach." Thank you, Yahoo Answers Community for giving me all the help you could in becoming a level 3!
For appreciating my answers when you liked them, putting up with them when you don't. Even those who didn't like some of them still helped. Constructive criticism!

I take my bows now. And I hear the applause. Oh, but please, hold the applause, I am a very humble person!

I pledge to answer as many questions as possible to the best of my ability. But I am not sure they are homework worthy! Just a precaution!

And now back to the lesser important things in life than Yahoo Answers. Like getting an apartment, cause' I need a place to live, a job, a car, and a new bank account.
Thank you! Thank you!
