A man wearing a black trench coat approaches you in a park, shows you a small box with a happy face button. He tells you if you press the happy face, someone that you don't know somewhere will disappear and you will receive $1 million dollars. You wonder if you accept, will he make the same offer to someone else, and you disappear. He assures you that this box is one of a kind and will be destroyed once you press it, no one will be the wiser and you walk a way with a million. But if you don't press it, he'll make this same offer to someone else, and you might disappear, unless the next person doesn't press it either. What do you do?

Don't just skip right to "both." Really think about it. It is certainly possible to say racist things when under the influence of rage without actually believing what you said. It goes back to that old childhood phrase, "Sometimes adults say things they don't mean when they're angry." Is that the case with Mr. Richards? I'd like to know what you have to say.

I don't drink personally, and don't have beef with anybody that does for the most part, but there were a couple instances where I tried talking to a couple girls on occasion and as soon as they found out I didn't drink, they suddenly seemed all standoffish and what not. Apparantly some of them feel that I'd be all high and mighty or might consider them lushes or whatever. On the flip side, I know people that don't drink that won't even attempt to go out with anyone that does. Both of those extremes are ridiculous to be honest, but that's how people work. As long as you ain't running people down in your car after your glass of Hypnotic, I'm cool with you. Could date someone that does or doesn't drink, depending on what you do?

This was inspired by the Oprah question that's featured about how you would help a stranger if you had a thousand dollars to spend on them. Realistically, the vast majority of us don't have and likely will never have a thousand dollars to spend on a stranger, so my question is: What can you do right now, for free of for a small amount of money, to help someone else?

It can be something like shoveling a friend's driveway or clearing snow off a neighbor's car, or donating old blankets to a shelter, or calling someone you haven't talked to in a long time. It can be a stranger, but it doesn't have to be.

So, what would you do? And if you have the chance, go do it!

I've been noticing fair bit of people on here with user names like Alyssa G., Rob G., Candy G., etc. Is there a coincidental possible abundance of people with last names that begin with G on here, or is there some kind of fad having to do with some pop culture thing?

Several weeks ago, while I was walking home from the local park I was attacked by a rather large two-legged dog like creature. I managed to somehow fend it off, but after that I lossed alot of blood and I was covered with bite marks and scratches. The hospital was too far for me to go to on foot, so I ran to my apartment to call 911, but before I could even reach the phone I blacked out. The next day I awoke to find that all my wounds were healed up as if nothing happened. My clothes were still in the same state as yesterday so I guess it wasn't a dream. I decided to just go about my business and forget this ever happened. A couple of weeks later I found myself naked lying behind a couple of boxes near the nearbye ally. My mouth dripped with blood and my body felt all tingly. I'm not sure whats going on, but I don't want this to happen again so please, help me find a cure

I know animals don't have individual souls, but what if there is an oversoul, say one for cats, one for elephants, etc., from which which animal comes and to which each returns?

A few decades ago, white folks show white pride by lyncnging and burning those who were different.

Since then, it seems that the only way White folks show white pride as a group is through hate and shaming other cultures.

BET for example, you wouldn't believe, is now own by MTV. Sure the majority of the people on BET are black, but there are countless white people on BET every second. Anyone can subscribe to BET, anyone can watch, attend recorded shows and even work there, hell, even purchase it.

My family and friends show Black pride by barbecuing, not lynching and burning. Sure there are countless white folks who aren't violent.

But you would have to blame their ancestors, a few bad apples, for making white pride seem like a horrible thing to say and partake in.

Are there any etiquette guidelines Americans should follow when in England? I am moving to Luton, Bedfordshire, and having never been abroad, I am nervous about offending anyone. Is there anything the Americans do that the English find particularly annoying?

Also, I have been looking for UK etiquette books and have found several, but is there a single one you would recommend above all the rest?

Do you think there is a high or low possibility that the focus on Sean Bell as a father and husband to be before his death will overly prejudice any jury pool, should there be any prosecutions levied against the officers involved in his death and the wounding of the passengers in the car they were in?

I am more immediately worried that some people may be taking Bell's status and confusing it for possible motive, or contending that the shooting must have been unjustly motivated solely on the basis of Bell's supposedly benign character.

What do you think? Is this story being covered fairly?

...from TV's, Computers and the like, returning to a seemingly more old fashioned existence?

Let me clarify. I am not suggesting society return to the dark ages, or live in the past, nor am I suggesting any form of sensorship.

However, the vast majority of people I have known, met, and current know and work with, to include myself at times, seem overly dependent on the Internet, TV and other visual media for virtually all needs, desires and whims.

So, in your opinion, would Society at large be a better place if we all just unplugged, limited ourselves to so much visual media and developed some self-reliance instead of letting other people have so much influence in our lives who don't even know us and who don't really care?

Would Society be a better place if we all had more balance, learned to have conversations with other people in real time, face to face?

To unplug or not to unplug?

Do you think it is really justified in some cases? Is the government saving on money by not paying health costs or rehabilitation. I just dont mean "only" the US govt. but whereever this is practised. Note singapore sends people to the gallows for possession of a certain quantity of drugs. Is this justified?
