Just curious since it seems so many people favor those on welfare to hard working contributing members of society.

why should I give a flying flip about non-contributing members of society?

Why are welfare recipients seen as the epidomy of our society, they are untouchable it seems.

I'm not talking about a needy, clingy man who sends you flowers every day and calls every 15 minutes. I'm talking about a true gentleman . . . confident, honest, healthy, respectful, successful, and romantic. Men like that have been all but banished in American society, because most women see them as being "boring", and go out of their way to hurt them and take them for granted.

Chivalry? Forget about it. If you open a door for a woman, she'll slap your face. Grab a woman that you don't even know and slap her on the backside? She'll think you're the sexiest bad boy alive.

Then women whine about how they can't find a good man. A bit hypocritical, don't you think?

In some survey by some big magazine, a majority (sixty percent?) said that they wouldn't elect a Mormon for president. Why? Someone here must be amont that sixty percent. I've lived with many a Mormon, and they're not a cult, just very much living in a bubble of Mormonism. So, why would you not elect a Mormon for president?

Only morons who give smarmy answers because they haven't read the question properly and people just trying to get points. And those idiots who go to wikipaedia and cut and paste to make poeple think they're smart.

The other day, someone at a store in Scobeyland Montana read that a
methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining
county on the Reservation and he asked me a rhetorical question,
''Why didn't we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?''
I replied: I DID have a drug problem when I was young:
I was drug to church on Sunday morning. I was drug to church for
weddings and funerals.
I was drug to family reunions and community socials no matter the
weather.
I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults.
I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told a
lie, brought home a bad report card, did not speak with respect, spoke ill
of the teacher or the preacher, or if I didn't put forth my best effort
in everything that was asked of me.
I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if
I uttered a profane four-letter word.
I was drug out to pull weeds in mom's garden

Read the above story... What is going on w/ these girls? When my Aunt entered this for Miss New Jersey way back in the 80's it was a pretigious (sp?)thing and an honor. Now it's like one big joke. What are you thoughts on this?

I would like to hear sayings from your country and what they mean.
Please tell me what country you are from.
for example:
I"m from America
My saying is "monkey see monkey do"
that's when someone sees someone else doing something and that person proceeds to do the same, like monkeys.
Sorry I couldn't think of a better one.

We all know that smoking causes lung cancer. We all know how much this costs the health service. Obesity can give rise to diabetes, respitory problems, asthma, heart disease, kidney disease, liver failure, infertility, stomach cancer, colon cancer, weakening of the joints, stress and chronic fatigue amongst other things. All of which cost the NHS vast amounts more than smoking related illness both in terms of bed space as well as financial concerns.

Therefore my question is this. Why is it socially acceptable to ask a smoker, in public, normally using offensive language and a raised voice, to stop smoking. Yet it is considered offensive to ask salad dodgers to stop eating?

Anyone for a media boycott, where we stop being glued to the "spoon fed" info and start talking to eachother face to face. Scarry isn't it, xcept for a two second conversation with a stranger. Can we engage a stranger in a conversation?

Why not implement a "fat tax" to penalize fat people. Smokers and drinkers get taxed heavily. Part of these tax revenues are used to pay for the health problems caused by their addictions.
I'm tired of my tax dollars being spent on taking care of diebetics and liver patients whose organs are failing because they can't stop eating.

I'm 16 and me and my mom moved out of the trailer park where we used to live and into a "mobile home community". I had quite a few teeth missing in 7th grade and I lost the rest of my teeth when I was in 8th grade. My mom hasn't had any teeth since before I was born. Does the move mean we have to get some teeth now? Or are we OK like we been with no teeth?
