all seperate incidences, Ive lived in Greece for over 18 years, I dont want to sound like an old granny ( im 41) but I can honestly say, the most violent thing that happend on a saturday night out in my day was a bit of a fisty cuffs on the dance floor.
what is going on? what will happen in 20 years from now, I dread to think. I'm very proud to be british, yet I am SO glad I dont have to live in such a violent country.

I was just curious if someone jumps off Golden Gate Bridge and then changes his mind mid-air and then trying to land into the water with a bullet like shape body. Will that person have a big chance to survive ? I've heard that over 90 feet and up,water is simply a patch of concrete.Please,clarify this. Thank you

For example,male shoplifters tend to sell back the items they stole and the money that they received wiil be used to help their family,pay up the bills,debt etc in other words,male shoplifters do shoplifting just for a matter of life and death but female shoplifters tend to keep all the good they steal as a 'private collections".It's all about 'me','myself' and 'i' for them.No wonder some women become so addicted to such behaviour.Why?

What do you think the key element is that attracts the oppisite sex to each other? Like for example a boy attracted to a girl who is in a bikini. What is it that we find so attractive to the oppisite sex. I know this may sound weird but just think about it. Dont get me wrong, I am a total straight dude, I love girls. But am just wondering what exactly is it that we find so attractive to the oppisite sex. What do you think?

I saw this heading

Three thousand year-old mummy discovered in Egypt
And then tis pissed me off

The 18th Dynasty mummy of Sennefer was UNEARTHED in a tomb in the Valley of the Kings

What is it with these people, don't they have any respect? What would happen if I went and dug up George Washington's grave? Why isn't anyone going around Europe digging up graves and opening tombs....... O yeah they don't have any! I'm a little to upset right now to be articulate, but how do you feel about opening up the Egyptian tombs? We know they're old, we know how it's done, we know why, What is the reason to keep desecrating these graves?

Due to circumstance unknown you are in the centre of a courtyard. There are many exits you can leave by but each exit is covered by a gang each gang is defined by race.

Which exit would you choose to leave by?
And what race are you?

I thought racism could get to me. But it did days ago. I went to a not so popular video website, and there were 2 racist people there commenting on videos on where only black people appeared and said comments like"Blacks are the s*** of the earth" and "That white girl is so fat and ugly only a black person will bang her cause they are desperate and blacks dont care about STD's". It just pissed me off so much. And one of the racists claimed to be a nurse. And I always thought hatred to blacks has almost completely vanished. What do you think of those guys? I am aware of Kramer and his n word tirade and Don Imus and there are still KKK.

It's gateway drug: Actually, there is no evidence that Marijuana is a gateway drug. It's simply the easiest and most affordable drug to get. Research has not shown that the majority of those who smoke dope move on the bigger/harder drugs.

If it were legal/decriminalized EVERYONE would be on dope: This is probably the most stupid arguement to have. Making something legal does not cause people to do buy/use things. Like when women were were given the right to walk around topless in my town... I haven't seen any woman topless. But it's legal!

It causes brain damage/cell damage : No proof of this. We have THC receptors in our brain. Instead of destroying these cells, it simply alters them.

Makes you lose your memory : Only short term while you are high.

Everyone who tokes is a loser : No, the losers who toke were losers BEFORE pot.

To overdose on marijuana, you have to smoke your body weight. You'd pass out long before you could even try. 0 deaths caused by Marijuana alone.

I am just some guy who came from a small town in Illinois back in 1962 and I must tell you, I have seen and heard this word used from time-to-time and I was just wondering if someone could define it for me.

I tend to become a little irritated when I hear people say to someone, whether it be online or in the real world, 'get a life.'

Is it society that determines what a life should be? Is there someplace we vote on what are the acceptable standards for living?

If someone is happy living as a hobbit, I say let them. Some of the greatest artists and composers of all time,. whether it be from an actually social disorder, or by choice, had little social contact with the public at all, they lived through their art, and they lived well.

This especially perturbs me as the norm for college aged kids is to spend their free time as mindless zombies getting wasted.

I'm a musician, and I spend most of my time with my art. I don't relate to many of my peers, but I do go out for the occasional social occasion with those I do hold deer to me, though living through my deepest hours of depression I can understand those who can not.


What are your insights, should anyone be able to judge a life?

Everyone has some job, or occupation that they consider completely off limits. Whether it be for the money, or for it being discusting. I want to know what everyone's pick for worse job would be, and your reasoning behind it.

My hubby and I don't necessarily have to coordinate with each other, but it would be cool if we had a duo idea. I am looking for originality. Already passed up superheroes (too common) and other generic ideas. Any input will be very helpful, thanks!

hearing the word "Hitler" or "nazi" within seconds? Isn't this kind of ... bigoted? There's a lot more to German history than that, you know; not to mention, most German people alive today weren't even born yet during that era...

(I'm not German, by the way, I just noticed this lately.)
