I keep getting calls from telemarketers and next time they phone, I want to use the Judge Judge soundboard to prank them. So how do I connect my phone to my computer?

To all atheists and agnostics: Don't you just HATE the atheists and agnostics that go around on Yahoo Answers attacking the beliefs of religious people? It makes all the other atheists and agnostics look bad! It's like, don't you people have anything better to do with your time than tell other people what they're doing with their time is a waste of time? Just makes all the rest look bad is all I'm saying. It's like me telling a head chef of a restaurant that he's wasting his life doing what he loves OR just plain making dishes for patrons of his restaurant. I have a suggestion: spend your time on here answering and asking questions without having to attack other people. Otherwise, it makes all the civilized atheists and agnostics look like they have nothing else better to do than slander other people. Where is the love, man? Hehe. And look at me, I've resorted to attacking the atheists and agnostics that attack non-atheists and non-agnostics. What a pity.

What i mean is if there was a head government ruleing the entire planet, creating the same laws for every country. Idealy the other world leaders would still exist, but no laws would be actually passed unless the Global Government agreed with them. And any two countries going to war with one another would be against the law.

Could this work?

I’m a Mexican guy; I never get any complaints about my English. The other day in San Antonio, Texas, I went to Church’s Chicken. I was alone, so I hadn’t even opened my mouth, I wasn’t talking to anyone. I was approaching the counter, and this Black woman pops up her frog-ugly eyes at me, and abruptly turns around before I could say anything. She yells out “I don’t have time for translations, you take care of this”. Immediately this White girl comes to take my order in English since that’s the way I was going to order anyway.

I was so shocked, I just ordered and left. What should’ve I done?

surely the female mind is better suited to reading recipes for baking fairy cakes and sewing their husbands socks rather than tackling difficult and complex issues like world and social affairs? i dont mean this in a nasty way toward the good ladies as i love em every chance i get ,but they should leave these complex issues to us men and get on with making a bit of dinner.

I have to write an essay for my MBA application. The full question reads: "What social cause or global issue do you think deserves greater attention in order to make the world a better place? And what steps might be taken to further that cause or address the issue?"

I would like some ideas of what to talk about, preferably things that are really "off the radar". I'm trying to avoid using global warming, poverty, or any other cliche things. Also, any information to learn about it and ways to address/solve it would be great.

Ok so...im trying to figure out proper ways to act in the working enviroment. Let me just tell the story real quick...I work in a small office.it is a law office.I am also a college student. I pretty much just do the reception work and then I leave a little early to go to school. I pretty much work here bc my step dad is one of the lawyers,the office I wrk at is a small office with just me..the attorney and 2 paralegals. We are pretty close bc we are small and are around eachother all day..our attorney is young and hes fun. we can all joke around...not what you would expect but whatever. I really hate it when people tell me what to do..I mean I really hate it. Always have..I understand it part of my job but a little while ago he was closer to the fax machine than I was and asked if I could fax something for him...he had it in his hand and instead of walking 4 feet he asked me to do it..so I got up and did it..it made me mad. Why couldnt he just do it..I just get so mad

Last year abortion was on the ballet in my state, so I have seen first hand how nasty this debate can be. Pro-lifers went for “low blows” when debating this issue. Instead of using facts they used dead fetus on signage and unfactual propaganda. There was even a vehicle with 10foot dead fetus attached to it. (even if I was pro-life, I wouldn’t want to see that!) I would be interested to know how many of these protesters do anything to HELP lower abortion stats? How many of these “protesters” go out and volunteer their time to teach young women about abortion and the ill effects it can have. How many start support groups to help women with this heavy decision they are making? How many open their home to children abandoned (foster home). But this would take a kind hearted, unjudmental person!

And before someone asks me if I would want my daughter, sister, etc. to be a prostitute, let me point out that there are many legal professions I wouldn't want them to be. Pornstar, or stripper for example.
Do you think it would be safer if it were legal, regulated and taxed?
And please, no answers based on religion. I'm not asking if it's moral, I'm asking if it should be legal.
Thanks.

Please, PLEASE, PLEASE dont go off on me and tell me to grow up, because if you only clicked on this to back me for believing in God then you need to spend your time a little better.

Here are ALL of my questions.
Why is it so wrong to have faith in something?
Why am I such a awesul person because I believe something will actually happen to me when I die?
Why do MOST atheists judge me by their other experiences??
Why have you chosen to believe nothing?
Did you just choose it? Or did something happen to you?

And for christains...I believe in god but I need to know:
Why do most people try and shove religion down peoples throats?
Why do you call atheists stupid? Its not going to make them like us even more!
Why do I feel like the two groups are at war with eachother?
Why cant you just acdept that other people dont believe what you believe?

And advice for BOTH...
Christains and Atheists...Dont try and convice one another that they are wrong, its a waste of time.

This year I decided to become more informed. So I started reading a daily local newspaper and getting magazines that talk about world issues. I'm glad I have a better understanding of what's going on in the world, but I also feel completely discouraged by all the negativity and scary stuff. I vote and give to charities and do "what I'm supposed to do" to try to improve things, but still feel overwhelmed. I'm about to have a baby and I have such a bad feeling about the world I'm going to bring him up in. How can I be more optimistic?

Isn't this a simple act of citizenship?...

Being a US foreigner i just feel compelled to ask you to press your "democratic representants" and use the democratic means for the truth.

I've seen a few 9/11 documentaries but this doesn't seem to be very debatable:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3865048042993700360&q=press+for+truth&total=720&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0

I don't know how many of you are aware of these movements but i was impressed to see that they date back 2002 and little has changed since then (at least that i'm aware). However the awareness of people seems to be expanding...including my one.

Manifest!
This might be the best thing you can do to make this a better place... do it for all the world citizens, not only for your country!

Why is christianity such a popular religion? I understand that jesus had some good messages and metaphors, but it has been taken to the extreme.

Why was a book written over 1000 years ago still held as truth even though science has disproved it. Can anyone explain why the masses blindly believe in the book without even reading it? Why do leaders twist it for their own sadistic gains?

Can anyone answer these questions?
