Other - Society & Culture - 6 January 2007

I hiked today in a large park in Los Angeles. The trail was strewn with beer bottles, a broken trash can, a discarded cooler, an empty anti-freeze bottle and various other trash.

Should people that litter be given public executions?

Well i mean really, think about it, there are cars that cause pollution, factories. YOu might ask, well how can we do something about it. I mean i know there are a lot of people who want to change the environment and help stop pollution. but they think they are the only ones. Or they think that there are only a few of us. But i mean the government would rather spend less money and cause pollution, than spending a little more money and help keep the air clean. I mean pollution can kill us, and it can cut our life time shorter

I am not ignorant of deaf people's abilities and their culture. I know several deaf people. I am not asking about deaf people's ability to use language or read--they can do this perfectly well. What I want to know is how they process thoughts. While a hearing person "speaks" in their head, obviously for the deaf this is not an option. Since sign is (most likely) their main form of communication, do they think in signs, or see thoughts as pictures? I am very interested in deaf culture and am trying to learn more. Any information or experiences with/about the deaf would be helpful!

A friend of mine works in a prison as a Caseworker. He told me a few inmates said to him that they have magazines that has the ads about penpals and meeting women. Many of the inmates send money so they can be posted on websites in order to meet women. My friend told me you will be surprised the responses these inmates receive from women in society. The inmates brags about the woman sending money to them and some women will marry the inmates. My friend says he knows it's true because the inmates will show him pictures of the woman and he has even seen these inmates get money on their accounts from women from the penpal. What I am getting at is, the inmates are saying the women are fed up with men in society. BUT those same women are willing to get involved with someone whose in prison for murder, robbery, rape etc. The sad thing about it, my friend said the inmates told him that they are only using these women for money and to chat with. What is going on?

I've never had any of the experiences that I mentioned.. doesn’t mean I don’t believe that there are other life forms out there.. But I have a friend who claims she was abducted by aliens... and what she tells me actually makes sense. Most people think she's crazy, but I actually believe her... the way I see it just because I've never experienced something doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.. What are your thoughts? Have you had any experiences with aliens... And NO I'm not talking about illegal aliens that work at el wal-mart-o~!

I'm, joyfully so, am 50, and like where I'm at. Some younger seem to think that being 50 + is a curse. I'm peacefully divorced and one here said "Oh, that's your problem...maybe you should to to bowling alleys to meet men".

Another said . . . " Oh, just wait till you're 65 and then come tell me if you still like it ".

Who else here is 50 + ( married or single, no mattter) and what is your attitude with life . . . honestly.

Myself...I have bright outlook and attitude with life, have vibrant and life embracing attentiveness with life. I'm in shape, healthy, positive minded, love people, value myself, and regarding relationships...adore, value and respect men.

Why do others under 50 think that being on this side of 50 is a ' curse ' and vibrance with life is over ?

You here 50 + . . . Enjoying your life and how it's unfolding and playing out or feel it's a bore and sad about your age range ? Open to hear both thoughts.

On yahoo answers I have seen Canada rebuked for celebratting Thanksgiving on a different day then the States.They believe it is to celebrate thier history and the Mayflower.While infact Canadians -Americans did not invent Thanksgiving. It began in Canada. Frobisher's celebration in 1578 was 43 years before the pilgrims gave thanks in 1621 for the bounty that ended a year of hardships and death. Abraham Lincoln established the date for the US as the last Thursday in November. In 1941, US Congress set the National Holiday as the fourth Thursday in November.
I've also seen on yahoo answers them ridiculing Boxing day as something Canadians started instead of it being from Britain .
Most have no clue that Canada in an independant country in the common wealth or that Britain plays a big part in our history.
I also read a yahoo answer just recently that stated Britain and the united stated has similiar history in black slavery .Not sure what they were refering to. Just used for examples

I'm a beer-drinking, sports watching masculine man but I find it offensive when men refer to their wives as their "old lady".

I ask that the term not be used. I get told to "lighten up", not be "anal" or get asked who "pissed in my cornflakes".

I'm nowhere close to "anal" or "uptight". I just don't like the term for its lack of respect.

What do you think?

I just don't understand how people could kill, hurt, steal, lie, cheat, decieve, sin, and just do wrong. As if this world isn't already bad enough, people have to make bad choices and hurt others as well as themselves. I try my best to be a good, kind person who makes good decisions and thnks about the consequenses of my actions before I do something stupid or wrong or something I'll regret later and possibly for the rest of my life....why can't everyone do this? It isn't fair to good people, and it's disapointing to God, who loves all of us. Any insight?
