A friend of my who I have been in involved with many types of business has asked me if I want to invest into buying homes in Mexico. Now how it would work he told me that he loans money to the people who are financially strapped for cash that ONLY have a home and property and own it themselves/ What he has done is to loan them money at up to 35% interest with a title of their land/house as a way to secure the loan. Most can never pay back the loan as he loans them more than many are capable of earning. After a period of time he takes the house and has been selling them for a profit. The laws in Mexico are very loose on loans and there is a huge market and a LOT of $$ to be made. My question is should I invest in this? He has been making over $100K ONLY off this business and it is just a side business.

Why do I hear that short girls want a guy who's tall so their kids would be tall?

Though genetics, height is PASSED DOWN THROUGH THE MOTHERS SIDE. My dad is 5'10" and my mom is 5'1". I'm a 5'5" 23 yr old male Stanford psychology student. I have remained a virgin, never had a girlfriend, and had to suffer my mothers repugnant genetic sins and live life as a 5'5" cripple.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/human_heigh...

The second paragraph of "Determinants of growth and height" says:

"Genetically speaking, the heights of mother and son and of father and daughter correlate, suggesting that a short mother will more likely bear a shorter son, and tall fathers will have tall daughters."

I know some of you will say "not true!," but cases where a mother is short and her sons are tall are only if that mothers father is tall. If you're a short women with short parents your son WILL be short.

I encourage tall men NOT TO reproduce with short women to avoid atrocities like myself.

Respecting somebodys different point of view seems more nobel than totally disagreeing and taking away from the idea.

I can not accepy a family member's significant other because I do not respect him. I am constantly being accused of "... always hated him..." I have complete apathy - it is analagous to walking down a street and seeing a pile of feces - I simply side-step or walk over it. I do not stop and yell "I hate you feces" - I don't run to get a shovel to destroy it. Feces is a fact of life but it shall never be something to embrace and accept.
I can not like this person because I have no respect for him -he's a user. Is it possible to honestly like a person for whom you have no respect

Here are list of things I can think of that people tend to obsess over such as: favorite band, favorite team or professional athlete, boyfriend or girlfriend, sex, drugs or alcohol or gambling, or maybe even being religious?

Simple question. Why don't people just say bathroom. A bathroom is called it because there is usually a bath in that room. Or when they started naming things, there would have been a bath. Why restroom? Why not getaloadoffroom?

one would you pick? As I said, the two people were identical in every way--their only difference was eye color. Which one would you choose?

I have to add the following disclaimer because when I posted a similar question in another category, everyone thought I was asking for help in choosing a life mate and that I was basing that choice on eye color. THIS IS A HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION. I am not talking about twins or anything like that. You have two people whose personalities and looks are identical except that one has brown eyes and one has blue eyes. You can only be with one, and each one would make you equally happy.
