I've been reading a lot of posts on Yahoo Answers and it seems as though most people cannot spell. The spelling of most of the posts I've seen is truly terrible. The posts where the person can spell properly are a very small percentage compared to the posts where the spelling is terrible. Why is that? Has the education system in our country become that bad? Any thoughts? Thanks

Many people point fingers at others who seem to have done something wrong, & say they were in control of their actions so they are the blame for something. But is that always true?

An example of the physical aspect: We humans must urinate. We can control to a degree when we urinate, & where, but we have no control over the action of urinating. It is apart of our genetics.

An example of the mental aspect: We all desire sex/love, it's in our genetics, which is why every single human being at some point in their lives seek it out or accept when the opportuity is there the way you like it. This is why teaching abstinance in school to protect those from stds doesn't work. We're animals who crave sex.

Example 3: A child raised poorly will behave poorly if he/she doesn't know any better, & doesn't know the society rules.

Question is, how can people always use the "you're in control of you" excuse when things go wrong, when that is not always true?

Okay, before you totally slam me as being racist or judgmental or stereotypical... I am currently a college student attending Washington D.C., and there are alot of black people working here in Washington who don a bad attitude and treat white customers like they are worthless pieces of crap. That cold, disinterested stare, the slow movements, the "oh great, I have to help you, what a drag it is for me" vibe. Now, not ALL black people within D.C. are like that, and there ARE white people there who have bad attitudes, too, but the majority lies within... so my question is, why do most inter city (Washington DC) black people have bad attitudes towards white people? Why are they slower and more apathatic, and why are they intimidating?

AGAIN, please do NOT think I'm being racist. It's just that, it seems like nobody had the guts to ask this, so I'm asking. Thanks for your respect...and fyi, I know some very nice and awesome black people.

remember the sound of a truck hood slamming, the kind on springs that you had to open with both hands and possibly another person because they were so heavy. lava lamps that were made from metal and didnt look cheap. those of you who grew up from the 20's to the 70's know what i'm talking about. what do you miss? or anything else, like vinyl albums, 8 track tapes, just anything that isnt around now. or is made cheaply now and sold for an outrageous price.

When will women realise that we are endowed with only one mouth and tongue but ears are two. Why? because we must listen more than we speak. They women, even forget they have ears.

Ok I know Im going to hear some crap about..if they dont want to be treated bad they should loose weight, thats not the info Im looking for here.
It boggles my mind to hear the things people say to larger size people such as myself. You wouldnt us ethe N word or make fun of a guy with no legs so why do some people think its ok to insult and demean larger size people?

Does it matter how windy it is and the length of the skirt as well as the type of underwear worn at the time? For example would you rather wear a thong, panties or go commando on the way to work or school where you would have to pass several air vents on the way knowing you can't hold your skirt down all day. Then having your skirt pinned up so everybody can see at school/work, or would you not care because you can't stop it anyway and let whoever see what they want to see?

They both have control over their habits. Don't even say its a lot harder for a fat person to become skinny than a drug addict to become sober, breaking a hardcore heroin addiction is known as one of the hardest things a human can do.

Being obese is defiantly worse than most drugs out there.

The only thing obese people have on drug addicts is what there doing isn’t illegal.

BTW not all drug addicts are liars stealers murders ECT... a drug addict is just that... someone who is addicted to drugs. If this question was about stealing, murdering or lying I would of said so.

This isn’t meant to offend any Obese people out there just raise a question as to why America is so bias against drug use and they don’t even know it. I am simply saying we shouldent look down on anyone.

I can predict the future as well… watch how many negative responses I get… little do they know the more negative they are the more they back my point.

LOL It's everything I have been worrying about for the future. I am a conservative and I'm sure that some of the material is directed against conservatives but it can be applied both ways. At any rate it is quite frightening stuff. I thought I was the only one that noticed things were heading this way.

Like reely smart peples shood com togither and like make this stuff not hapin.

The skinny girls seemed to be the most self consious about being thin. One girl I knew didn't like wearing shorts because she thought her legs were too skinny. I wasn't in high school that long ago either. I graduated in 2006 and I'm 18.

Why does the character in Eddie Murphy's new movie, get so many overweight black women upset. No one said anything about Big Momma's House, or Mideeah. Is it that this character reminds them of themselves, and how obnoxious they are? Let me know.
