Why do you live here? You can move to another country that better suits your lifestyle and mind set. You want to live here, but want to complain about living here too. And make statements about how you don't fly the flag because you don't agree with what it stands for. WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO LIVE IN THE USA - if it makes you so darn negative?

Programmes like Hells Kitchen highlight the processes involved in slaughtering and preparing meat for the dinner table. We are so far removed from the actual preparation of meat in this day and age (and much of this has only occured in the last century or so with the introduction of pre-packaged meat in supermarkets), that people are shocked by cute Bambi dying.

In turn, as we only normally now see animals in a cute sense (in the farm or zoo), some people think it is morally wrong to kill one for food. I know people who, although they are meat eaters, disagree with the killing of animals and would never kill an animal themselves. One word springs to mind- hypocritical!

I have no qualms with vegetarians or vegans who stick by their guns and do not eat meat. What does annoy me though, is those who assume they hold the moral high ground and preach to us omnivores as if we are the baddies! All I can say to those people is: 100,000 years of human history can't be wrong!

Any thoughts?

I personally think every home in America should have one. If you choose to live here, you should be proud of being an American, and own a flag. I used to see flags out when I was a kid, on every holiday. We always put ours up. As I got older, it seems people just don't care anymore - can't be bothered to buy or put out their flag.

Do you own a flag? If not, why not?

So I took off running, me in my heels and crazy muu muu. I was so embarrassed, I ducked down on the side of another car and watch that mean-a$sed owner come over there looking all around to see who was messin with his car. I was not messing with it, ******, I just accidentally bumped it. What would y'all have done???

Are you flying your flag? I am. I find it scary that in the weeks following 9/11, stores were running out of American flags, as everyone had one hanging on their house, car, or apartment balcony! Now, you hardly see any on this day. It's shameful. I am also wearing red, white, and blue today. Later tonight, I will light a hoodoo candle and ask that the dead rest in peace.

Okay, so, say theres a family dog who has cancer or any other disease, and he is certain to die. If it is okay, and kinder, to put a dog to sleep, to save the suffering, and to let it die an unpainful dignified death without suffering and pain, why is human voluntary euthanasia illegal?? It really doesnt make sense to me that what is fair and right and legal for a dog is not legal for a human, and a human who actually wants it. The human who craves a dignified unpainful death is forced to suffer and die months later in absolute agony, while the dog got the better deal. Of course i wouldnt want dogs to suffer, but i dont want humans to suffer either. I think its ludicrous. Who agrees or disagrees with me? And why?

We have all of these shows about fat people like "Biggest Loser" and that new show where fat people walk 500 miles...and they are rewarded with prizes. A couple of months my mother told me about an Opera episode where this fat guy always wanted a Porsche, but he was so fat that he couldn't fit into one! So he lost a ton of weight, and Oprah bought him a Porsche. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that these people are losing weight, but why should they be rewarded for allowing themselves to get morbidly obese in the first place? I've never been fat, because I bust my butt in the gym 4 nights a week...Where's my freakin Porsche? Do you think that fat people being rewarded for being fat is right or wrong? Your thoughts please.

Why do people join an answer forum and then ask questions and lie like crazy. I just don't understand that. Just one example here...they will ask questions saying they are a virgin and you look on their profile and there are questions from them stating they are pregnant and looking for baby names. I could just go on and on with examples but I will spare you that. Sometimes it makes me feel foolish when I have honestly answered a question and then I find out it was just a bogus question. It just makes no sense at all to me...does it to you?

I hate my nose, it causes me a lot of anxiety. It just looks terrible. But I keep thinking to myself "what are you complaining about, there is so much to be grateful for in your life, and ok, you look bad from the side, but from the front you look fine"....

And anyway if I did go ahead and get a 'new' nose, how would I explain it to my parents, sisters, brother, friends... i'd just be labeled as vain and shallow forever in their minds... I can see it coming up in arguments.. "well you changed your nose!"... and it's as if i'd lose my dignity... i've given in to the world in which we live... but damn it i hate my nose... maybe it's better to be ugly then beautiful anyway...

So has anyone had a 'nose job', any advice etc? Thanks

It's one of my pet peeves, but I cannot abide people using the verb "Pop".
Why can't they just say put (or go))?
Women use it much more than men, to my hearing.
-I'll just pop into this shop-Pop it into the oven! etc.
Yes I know I'm an old moan, but I do believe other people must share my gripe.

This is part of the reason I am against interracial marriage, I dont want this beauty to die. Its not just about "skin color" as you all will probably chime right before reporting me. Also, to address that point, there are more differences then physical ones, I just happen to think blond hair and blue/green eyes are really cool and it would be sad if they were bred out of existence because of all of the propaganda that subliminally influences european women to hate european men...... :(

Doesn't everyone know that ANYONE from anywhere can edit a posting? That doesn't make it 100% true. I've seen so many people here claim their only source as wiki. And act as if it is the absolute truth.

What can we do to help people to do more reaserch on any given subject? Other that just Wiki?

Some examples include:

- 9/11 (paying more attention to Muslims who feel "victimized" instead of focusing on the victims)

- VA Tech shooting (putting all the limelight on the shooter, but ignoring the victims)
