Other - Society & Culture - 6 February 2007

What is going on? Everywhere I look, the UK (an island that used to be proud and great) is exporting the most shameful and cringe-worthy people across the globe.

We have the pathetic, grovelling weasel Blair as a 'leader' who does whatever he is told and never fails to lick the boots of people who control him while making the UK look like a subservient state who bow down to the US..

We have Westwood 'repping the UK' on Radio 1 with his hideously embarrassing attempts to be a gangster even though he looks like someone's Dad.

(see my other question about HIM : http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnyeaV4dcRHqSkpufwTjeVggBgx.?qid=20070206143759AAJ4VIO)

We have Jade Goody, a fat slob chav celebrity. Jamie Oliver, Hugh Grant.. it goes on, and on...

Exactly what the **** is going on? Is there one big conspiracy going on to make the UK the laughing stock of the world? Why can we not export anyone remotely respectable?

What must the rest of the world think of us?

I am about to graduate from University and have absolutely no idea what I want to do or become- it is quite daunting to be going out in to the real world with no idea of what I should do.

I get really in to something for say a fortnight, really read up on it, then just as soon develop another obsession with something entirely unrelated- this carries on in a never-ending cycle, so please don't say I need to find something new to really interest me!

What can I do to give my life focus? Thanks!

and in the line up at the cashier, you see a senior citizen ahead of you. Would you stay in line and wait or move to another cashier..and why?

As the media changes its reach to cover the events of the world do we percieve it to be getting worse or is it just that its the same old stuff on a different day. Not to be deatached but the stories stay the same and the faces seem a blur but only the names change. Or could it be that as the population increases the sins stay the same but the number of sinners change resulting in an increased sense of corruption and violence?

1-Yahoo! Answers keeps telling me (In edit your info): Get a Yahoo! 360 now, although I already have one (And it used to show the link to my 360 but now it doesn't).
2-Sharing photos ALWAYS sets itself to be shown by "Private" although I set it to public, HELP!

If you're homophobic or offended by homosexual things, please do NOT answer.
-So my question: Have you ever fantasized yourself with a person from the same sex? I know it might be hard to admit it, but come on this is a forum, and I don't know any of you ;-P For me, I'm a homosexual guy,I did think of it, but was very brief. (That makes me 99.9% gay :-D)

if someone is starting trouble they always want to start on me first. if i'm out with my friends and trouble starts i somehow end up involved, even when i'm out of the way saying nothing. its as if people look out for me in a crowd. i think i might have a face that people want to hit. i've never started a fight but have ended up in a few over the years, and won them.

Genticists claim that 90% of human social attributes are genetic and not learned. if so, and if the science of genetics can identify these genes that make a human be anti social, extremely aggressive, etc, should a prenatal inspection of embryos be included in the mandatory inspections of pregnant women, and any possible genetic malfunction in these areas cause the recommendation to abort these future possible hazards to society?

Many of my asian brothers and sisters know what I am talking about. You are trying to go on your fav kpop singer's site but they wont let you in the site unless you have the citizenship number. And your own SSN won't do; you have to be a freaking S. Korean citizen. It's just unfair. It's just some music site, why'd they have to ask for such important infomation? It's not like we are gonna open a bank account or something.

What are your guys thoughts of this situation?

Alright folks, before I get nailed to the cross as some white racist kkk let me at least explain. Many black people have hair that's very different in texture from everyone else. So they tend to use allot of hair products compared to other people. When it comes to hair care products blacks in North America spend more then any other group. Plus to anyone who has ever dated a black person they would know most black people do not shampoo their hair as often as other people. It dries their hair out. So maybe that sterotype of black people smelling came from the assumption that because they don't shampoo their hair as often they must smell. See where I'm going with this?
Where do you think this specific racist line of thought that all black people smell came from?
