Do you check the profiles of the people who answer your ?s or the people who you answer ?s for?
curious as to how many people check profiles. If you do check them, have you ever invited people as friends to your space ? Added a comment to their page or sent them a message? why or why not?
What do you think of the remarks by the Judge who asked Miss California her opinon on gay mairrage?
I think the judge was wrong for saying hateful things about the model. If he didn’t want her opinion, then why in the world did he ask her?? People should be free to say their opinion without fear of retaliation. It’s called free-speech, and freedom of religion. I say good for [...]
Will the candidates in this election take us closer to or further from this advice..?
"I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that [...]
I am a global warming skeptic: Would you agree that this is a decent reason to question it?
http://www.dailytech.com/Myth+of+Consensus+Explodes+APS+Opens+Global+Warming+Debate/article12403.htmI respect those that disagree as it is seemingly a worthy cause (anyone with half a brain would want to save the planet, it makes sense in that reguard). However, after having wondered as why much of the theory is purported by ‘new’ types of big industry (mass media, ‘green’ companies, lobbyists) I now [...]
Story of President Obama refusing to accept TARP repayment from banks. True or false?
My case for false.All of the stories about President Obama refusing to except TARP repayment can be tracked back to a op-ed the Wall Street Journal by Stuart Varney. In the story Varney states his opinion is based "on a true first reported by my Fox News colleague Andrew Napolitano." Reading the story that Varney [...]

Have we been brainwashed to think that revolving credit is a good thing?
It used to be (ha!) that people waited until they could afford things before they bought them. Then it became commonplace to buy things and pay for them later. Owing money used to have a stigma attached (other than a home/car). They used to be called Second Mortgages and raised eyebrows. Now they’re called Home [...]
Will the Dems move to socialism cause a rash of secessions when the economy collapses?
Capitalism is the reason for prosperity in the United States. Moving to socialism will reduce us to mediocrity or worse. Secession may be the only way to salvage what has made us great up until now. What are your thoughts?

Do you frwd those silly emails that say if you don’t send them to 20 people you will get bad luck?
I’m sure that most of us have received a bizarre chain letter at one point with threats of bad luck unless it’s forwarded to at least 10 or 20 people
My question is pretty straightforward: Do you forward these letters?
I, personally, don’t.
A question about football/soccer.
I know that soccer is really big in England/Europe and the American football vs soccer debate has been hotly debated ad nauseum many times before. My question is if you are not from the States and you watch soccer, does it offend you in any way that we call our sport football? I [...]
Do you think drug addicts can be properly rehabilitated?????
I am not talking about occasional or recreational drug users, I am talking about hard-core drug users that use drugs like cocaine, crack, meth, oxycontin, and other drugs of the like. Do you think they can ever be properly rehabilitated or do you think the addiction is so strong, that they will relapse? [...]
Was George W the worst American president in history?
Everywhere I look, I see another comment on Bush being the worst president we’ve ever had. I’ve even heard die hard Conservative Republicans complain that he was not the best one we ever had to elect. Come on people, surely Nixon has to be up there on the worst presidents list.
Which is the more difficult sport, golf or snooker?
With it being such a nice day, I went for a few frames of snooker! I played shockingly bad and it got me thinking, if you enjoy playing both which do you find the harder game.
After this afternoon snooker is harder to master
How did a blind pilot land an airplane?
I saw this story on the news this morning, but they really didn’t give many details. A man apparently had a stroke while flying a small plane, and went blind due to the stroke. He landed the plane somewhere in the UK from what I heard. How is this even possible, and [...]
How effective is acupuncture?
Seriously, I can’t see how sticking hundreds of little needles in my body will alleviate any sorts of pain, but then again, I have never tried it. Does anyone have any first hand experience with acupuncture and what did you think of it? Did it help?
What do you think about doctor’s prescribing a placebo to patients?
I just got wind of this story, and I think it is sickening that a doctor would knowingly prescribe useless medication to a patient. Link to story below. What do you think about this? Should any action be taken against these doctors?

Question for people with sleep apnea.
I have been using a cpap machine for almost 2 years now and I have never slept better. If you have sleep apnea and use a cpap machine, how long have you used it and do you dare to try and sleep a night without it? I am not looking for ‘medical advice’ [...]
Why does Gen. Colin Powell’s endorsement of Obama bother Republicans much more than those of others?
Why does former Secretary of State, Gen. Colin Powell’s endorsement of Democratic Senator Barack Obama anger Republicans so much, when there were so many other endorsements given to Sen. Barack Obama by prominent white Republicans in the weeks prior to Powell’s endorsement and absolutely nothing was said about it, not even a whisper? Does the [...]
Is it possible to impeach congress?
How much longer do we as a nation have to put up with all the idiots in congress that are dragging us farther into a hole, rather than building the ladder out? GET DEMOCRATS OUT OF CONGRESS NOW!!!!
Is liver really healthy?
I was pondering this question last night as I was digging into a very nice plate of liver and onions, which quite honestly, was probably not the right time to be thinking about this. The liver is a filter for the body which is responsible for detoxification of the body, among the other functions [...]
Are you kidding me?
Pro Bowl NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson has legally changed his name to Chad Ocho Cinco because he wears the number 85 on his jersey. Ocho Cinco obviously being Spanish for 85. What do you think of this? Why would a judge allow this obvious farcical attempt at attention and self-promotion to [...]
Are you glad the world cup is almost over?
After a month of non-stop Football are you glad to see the back of it or will you miss it?
Me, I’m looking forward to the final but will be happy when it’s all over.
How do you feel about…….
people begging for money. Does it annoy you, repulse you, make you feel sorry for them, or do you actually give them money? If they were holding a sign up like my friend here, would you give him money based on his honesty? Don’t know about over in [...]
Why do Cats like to Chase and Catch Birds?
Do they think it is a plaything or just their nature.? I was watching a cat in my backyard today now he was really into those flying birds. Maybe its their flapping wingsThanks:)
"What do you mean it is not on sale anymore"?
This is what I said after my wife took something up to the counter last night and was told that the marked sale price, was no longer in effect. Shouldn’t a place of business be obligated to sell a piece of merchandise for what it is marked for? IMO, it is not our [...]
Opinion Time!
Which of these celebrities creeps you out more?
Michael Jackson, and his hideous silly putty shaped nose and pasty white complexion. Not to mention his notable attempt at personally having his child bungee jump off the balcony of a hotel.
Pee Wee Herman, and his public masturbation rituals.
Ernest Borgnine, who in a recent interview, said that [...]
Romantic man?
When you personally hear the term romantic man, what comes to your mind? What would you consider a romantic gesture from a man? After almost 10 years of marriage, what new and different romantic things could a man do for his woman? I am asking for a friend, not for me! (wink [...]
Since no one else will ask the question , are you sickened at the sight of those little children
singing to and for Obama. These were songs of praise. When these children are older they will need counseling. I’ve only ever seen this in dictatorships.
One more day to go until we find out…..
who will be the one to dig this country out of the hole that we are currently in. The news said this morning that with 25 states using the early voting procedures for the last week or so, my state included as I have already voted, a record number of voters have already made [...]

Why do so many users fail to follow up and comment on the answers to their questions?
I really don’t understand, if someone asks a question that has at least some importance to them the failure to keep the question and answers alive by responding with comments. I most often find more information contained within the comments than in the question or the answers. Please explain
Is childhood obesity the result of our society’s shift in Mothers working full time?
I was reading this article today, spurred by a recent "debate" I’ve had with a friend: Has childhood obesity risen directly due to Mothers working more? http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2007/nov/22/children.health I did a search and found the above article. I wonder if it is applicable here in America; Do children in families that have a working mother instead [...]
Women versus Men.
Is there a double standard as it relates to common courtesies among men and women? Men are expected to hold the door open for a woman, which I am always happy to do so when the need arises. But why is it that as I am walking up to the door at our [...]

Can you explain why the holy Quran says this?
I am not quite sure what these verses mean, can you please give me your interpretation?
Quran 8:12 "I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His Apostle."
Quran 33:26 "Allah made the Jews leave their homes by terrorizing them so that you killed some and made many [...]

What are the pros and cons of putting an 8 year old girl in a martial arts training class?
I have seriously been thinking of putting my little WF in a karate class that opens in a few weeks. I think it will be good for her attitude as it teaches respect and good for her mentally as it teaches discipline. Not to mention the obvious physical benefits it offers. She [...]
What are some alternative ideas for punishing a child?
For short term immediate punishment, we put our daughter in the corner for anywhere from 5 minutes up to 30 minutes depending upon the severity of the infraction, which seems to work pretty good. For longer term infractions, I have been grounding her to her room where the only thing that I will allow [...]
I have a question about my 7 year old daughter. Can you please help me????
I am going to give you some background first so you know where I am coming from. I am 31 and my wife is 28 and our 7 year old daughter is adopted. She lived with us for 2 years before our adoption was finalized and we have had her for 2 years [...]
When throwing a party with a lot of guests and an openly accessible bar….
would you make all of your alcohol accessible or would you keep ‘the good stuff’ under lock and key? The reason that I ask is I have a few bottles of absinthe, which cost a good bit, and I don’t want it all swilled down by my friends. Or should I let people [...]
Big party on Saturday…need some help!
We are having a tiki/caribbean island type theme for my weekly social soiree, and I was wondering if anyone could help me with some good drink recipes using dark rum? The only think that I usually mix with rum is coke. It seems a bit bland and boring for an island party. [...]
Why Sarah Palin?
Why do you think John McCain chose a relatively unknown and inexperienced Sarah Palin to be his running mate during the upcoming US election? My personal feelings are that Barack Obama had a sizable lead as far as public opinion went and McCain felt he needed to do something out of the ordinary to [...]
Why does the U.S. think that we…….
are the protector and moral governors of the rest of the free world? Who in the hell appointed us moderators for the rest of the world? Why doesn’t the U.S. let everyone else worry about themselves and then maybe they can start to actually worry about their own country and try to fix [...]
A question about the upcoming presidential election in the US.
I need some opinions on this subject and I am pretty sure I am going to get some very heated comments, but I am fully prepared this time! As everyone knows, the presidential election is upcoming in a few months. The Republican nominee is John McCain and the Democratic nominee is Barack Obama. [...]
About political mudslinging.
How do you feel about political mudslinging during an election year? Would you not rather listen to what a politician will actually do as opposed to dragging the opponent under the bus? Sarah Palin, who is running as the Vice-President elect with Republican presidential nominee John McCain, has a teenage daughter who is [...]
What was your opinion of the election last night?
As you expected or not? What did you think of McCain’s speech conceding the election? What about Obama’s acceptance speech? Anything else that you would like to add, would be most welcome.
I get the strange feeling by reading a lot of your comments that Gordon Brown…..
is just as despised as George Bush is. Are there any specific incidents that one can give me to explain the indifference towards him, or is it like Bush in that there isn’t enough room to type a list of his buffoonery?
What is your opinion of the electoral college being the deciding factor in an election, even if the popular vote says different?
This is how we got stuck with Bush for another 4 years in the last election. Al Gore had the popular vote, but the electoral college overrode the popular vote and put Bush back in office. That worked out well for everyone involved. What do you think about this?
Barack Obama’s grandmother has just passed away from cancer. Do you think that based upon the sympathy factor alone, that this will sway unsure voters in his direction?
This is horrible news for Barack Obama and his family obviously, but it got me thinking if people on the fence would be sympathetic towards Obama and maybe throw their vote his way because they felt bad for him. Do you think this is plausible?
