I think the reason people dont want to help others MOSTE of the time is because a lack of trust. My question is, if you see a dollar bill would you pick it up for keeps or give it to some one you first see on the streets. Another words are you a giver or a taker?

I have answered a few of his questions, and wanted to show a friend my (what I think are funny!) answers. None of them are there! Why? I had noticed that he always changes his date of joining to that very week, why would that be?

I'm black as you can see. It seems that on myspace, in particular, a large number of the pages by black women under 30 have a tagline that is beyond arrogance. Stuff like, "Stop Hatin!", "If I wanted your man, U'd be single." "Don't hate me because i'm beautiful, hate me because your man thinks I am." Etc.

Am I the only one that finds this worthy of vomit? I mean, seriously, when have we been given the green light to be presumptuous biatches? When has arrogance become cute?

And what's funny is that these are the same females that complain about not being able to keep friends.

With this global village we live in now, and people of all differing cultures inter-marrying/mixing, do you think eventually we will all become one single race of people. Although I enjoy having friends of all races and creeds, I wonder what it would be like if everyone in the world were the same race. Would there be as much conflict in the world? Or would yet another form of bigotry arise to take the place of racism (or any other discrimination)? What do you think is the last 'acceptable' group of people to discriminate against? (I am not endorsing discrimination, just curious on your thoughts. And trying to ask a question that has not yet been asked on Yahoo! Answers.)

If someone works and spends their money on themselves and their loved ones, but its not considered selfish to cry poor me and expect everyone else to take care of you?

It is selfish for me to think of myself and spend my time and money on my self, my family and my friends, BUT it is not selfish for someone to sit on their azz all day, not do anything except stick their hand out and expect others to take care of them?

I recently saw a movie that talked about the Month of the Hungry Ghosts (Oben). It briefly touched on some of the customs of this special time of the year. I was curious as to what the customs were (since the movie, made in Singapore, expected the audience to already know the rules).

Some of the rules they did touch on were things like, don't sweep the ashes from the offerings, don't eat the food left out, don't sit in the front row of the traditional dancing (it's reserved for the dead) and don't turn if someone calls your name at night.

I was wondering what the actual customs were and if they differed depending on where you lived (like China, Japan, Tibet, etc).

Thank you.

Whenever there's a discussion on politics, the whole world understandably comes down on America. But more recently it seems whenever _any_ topic comes up, people are quick to attack Americans regardless of how irrelevant nationality is to the subject.

I'm wondering if Canadians truly feel superior to Americans, or if politics is clouding everything. I haven't visited Canada recently, but a friend of mine who recently visited said he was actually accosted by the natives on a recent trip once they found out he was an American.

Last time I did visit I was shocked to find that, if anything, their quality of life is higher than ours. I find it somewhat amusing that they feel the need to bash common Americans, based solely on that single identifier, when they are almost totally dependent on their relationship with us (as we are them -- we're mutually biggest trading partners).

I know this probably sounds like an underhanded insult, but I really want to know if this is how they feel.

I was intrigued by an earlier post about the number of female respondents saying they prefer a strong man who is physically built and confident because:
1.) Muscles on men are sexy
2.) They prefer a man who can protect a woman
3.) A man who is a provider is considered a turn on... whether it be physically, financially, or emotionally.

Now my question is this... isn't that plain sexist? Is this how society and the mass media have fabricated our views on what men or women should be? THink of thin, beautiful women and women who don't fit in that category.

Do some of you think this is natural instincts or society's way of molding our lives?

I don't like Phoenix at all. I moved here from Louisiana and I am used to nicer people. I don't like the weather. The summer is too hot and in the winter there is too much smog. Can someone in Louisville please give me information. GOOD OR BAD. We do not go to clubs. We don't have any kids. We like the Arts, Outdoors, Walking, and Biking. We are just looking for a place to live that we can call home for a couple of years. Thanks

...do you wish for if you have the choice and how old do you wish to die?

I ponder about this since I was kid; I grew up surrounded by death and people dying for different reasons at different ages. Many people think of death as a morbid thing, I grew up thinking it was my best ally, it made me look at the world as a "transit bus" where at some point, each one of us will reach our destiny and get off.
I see people racing their cars on the city streets 100 m/h, skateboarding down the hills into incoming traffic with not hamlet, I saw a guy with sharp pointy scissors trimming his beard while changing lanes on the highway… I call these people the IMMORTALS; I am convinced that they think they are. I’ve known many; I have accompanied them to the cemetery, I’ve seen at the cold morgue and funeral homes and on the streets surrounded by ambulances and fire trucks and curious people like me, and "Death" presenting them to me as an example of my own end.
Is it strange to think that way?

Support slavery in China?

Walmart's vendors in China either pay unlivable wages or don't pay their workers at all and they keep their workers in squalor. How many Americans support that?

More than once I've thought of something funny when I'm walking alone down a street, or I'm at some solemn function or other, and I can't quite stop myself from laughing. Though I think I get in the most trouble for laughing when things go wrong.

I needed a max unit (it's a hand-held computer thingy you scan barcodes with) at work the other day to get my job done. Two were taken, one was broken and one was missing. The check-out manager said she didn't have one, then about ten minutes later, one of the check-out girls said, 'oh, here it is. It's been beside me all along, and I didn't realise'. I laughed, and my manager cracked a bit of a spaz at me for it.

But really, I'm so used to things going wrong (like when I dumped my ex, then I ran out of money, I got a parking fine, my grades at uni started slipping, and then my car got stolen), that I just laugh at it. After all, it's better than crying or going off at the people around you, like most people do. Are there others like me?
