Question: PeOPLE !!!!!!!? okay my lil bro was outside fixing his bike, when the women next door yelled at him from her yard, saying, YOU NEED TO SHUT YOUR F****** DOGS UP! the dogs wern't barking at all, then i came out telling her to wait 4 my parents to come home, i was very polite about it, but then she said she was calling the cops on me cuz i came into her yard, the prob with that i was in the middle of my yard, well anyways i don't care about her yelling at me, its just that she waited 4 my parents to leave b4 starting the fight, well i told her she can if she wanted to, but i don't have to open the door 4 them, well she called me an @SS HOLE!, so i called her a few names of my own. and walked away. do u think she was chicken 4 my parents 2 leave b4starting a fight or bored with her meth life? and also r u sick of ppl like that?!

Answer: Is not about her being afraid or anything like that...who cares, the problem is if she is an adult and verbally abused you kids then she's pretty screwed.; No adult can just go and tell a minor off. She can get arrested. So her stupid ass would have been the one in trouble if she called the cops if you kids were to say she was verbally abusing you guys. get it?

Question: How come European people are so beautiful? I am Swedish and we are so beautiful. I have noticed that Europeans like Swedish people, Italian people, Polish people, Swiss people, Spanish people, Greek people, Russian people and Irish people are so attractive and beautiful when Americans are mostly ugly. Other than some of the celebrities you all don't seem to be as beautiful as the people I see where I live. And why do you all eat unhealthy and get fat? Here in sweden we all have slender bodies and are healthy, as well as in most of Europe.

Answer: Spiritually, Europeans lack grace. Physically...thats debatable even. I'd say Vietnamese, South American, and Indian women are much more beautiful than Swedish women--they win beauty contests easily. Physical traits are temporary and impertinent anyways. Like I said, spiritual/mental aspects of a person is more important.

Question: Why do people ask people from the INTERNET important medical questions concerning themselves? Why do people ask people from the INTERNET important medical questions concerning themselves? I am baffled at some of the medical questions I see people asking about themselves on here, especially when they have already been given an answer from there doctor which they have visited on the issue. Why do they not ask there doctor these questions, or get a second opinion from another doctor. I am amazed that people would turn to people from the internet, who they do not know, to answer a question concerning there health, and welfare. What are your views on this?

Answer: Some people are asking out of curiosity, maybe someone can give them some insight, or maybe someone has experience the same thing, or things to think about before going to the doctor. But when some people come on here and ask what shall I do my baby has had fever for days now, or questions like that .. is beyond me. Those people are just stupid. Common sense would tell anyone with brains when to ask and when to call or head to the doctor.

Question: How do people judge the personalities of attractive people? I heard that people generally assume that people who are "obviously attractive" have bland personalities. This of course is before people actually get to know them. Do you feel this way? Why or why not? I'll answer, too (for once). I will say that when I see people who I believe society considers "obviously attractive" my first assumption is that they're more outgoing and extroverted, which may or may not be a good thing depending on my mood. Discuss.

Answer: I'm guilty of this assumption, and to be honest, in most cases I'm right. They tend to be more self-centered than most, and their values are different from mine. Yeah they can be charismatic and social, but it still says nothing about their true personality. Although, I try to veer from making such judgments before knowing the person.

Question: Why can't certain people resist the urge to try to convert other people to their worldview? This goes for people of EVERY spiritual following, faith, creed, whatever, atheists and agnostics included. Not to say that very many people do this, but it seems like there are quite a few people who don't know when to f**k the hell off and let people, especially children, make their own observations, form their own thoughts and opinions and choose what to believe for themselves. Why do people want to meddle so much in what are some of the most personal matters? Why can't people just let other people think differently?

Answer: All blather & philosophy aside, humans generally tend do dislike _any_ implication that the ideas they find important are incorrect. Whether we consciously realize it or not, when we find that a significant number of people hold a view that challenges ours, it is in some measure a threat to our foundations. It is a threat.

Question: Why do people make fun of others when walking down the street? Why do people find the need to laugh at someone who's just minding their own business walking down the street? I'm talking about snickering, giving dirty looks, whispering and pointing to their friends to laugh too or making sure that the person sees them laugh. I can't understand why people would do this since the person is not bothering anybody... Why would people do this, since I've seen this rude behavior coming from multiple people? Some people say its because of a lack of self-esteem but isnt that being kind of nice about it? To me it seems just really mean and spiteful.

Answer: Where do you live?! I have never witnessed anything like that in my life. If someone did that to me i'd punch them in the face. I don't know why anyone would do this, but I think you just need to be a man and assert dominance over them. I wouldn't let anyone do that to me..

Question: Why do people who are a victim of prejudice turn around and act prejudiced against others? My son Britney was tormented and picked on all through middle and high school for being a tranny, but the strange thing is he turns around and picks on black people on the internet. I have also seen instances where black people who have got picked on by white people turn around and pick on asians. Why is it that people who are victim of these things victimize others when they know how it feels? Do they believe that 2 wrongs make a right or why exactly is it that people do this?

Answer: Same reason you get mad at someone who yells at you. We tend to react without thinking, we humans, pushed around by our emotions like a sailboat without a tiller.

Question: What's the difference between People to People and People to People International? I recently searched "People to People" on Google and it came up with 2 main organizations: People to People International and People to People. What is the difference between these 2 organizations? Thanks for any answers:)

Answer: People to People International (PTPI), with World Headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri USA, was established by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on September 11, 1956 to enhance international understanding and friendship through educational, cultural and humanitarian activities involving the exchange of ideas and experiences directly among peoples of different countries and diverse cultures.

Question: How do black people think about white people fighting for their rights? I have been wondering lately, after watching a Theroux documentary about black nationalists about how do black people feel about white people fighting for black rights. I can imagine some being offended as it really shows that white people have enough rights to fight for somebody else and other black people liking it because it might give them more chance in life. This may sound weird, but I am directing this to question to black people as I would just like to hear your opinion on this. Thanks.

Answer: I am a proud African American, member of the human family, and a daughter of Civil Rights and Black Power people. 1. I think that it is fine that other people want to help us out. I think that all people should help other people who aren't like them. 2. I think we should celebrate the people who helped us. Ebony magazine always had all the "martyrs" on the Civil Rights movement in a few special issues each year and many of them were White. 3. Now, as nice as outside help is, our people should always be self-directed and not depend on the help of others. The "dependent' mentality is a hold-over from slavery and many of our people still have it. And other people don't always want to help us. Those points are the major contention of Black nationalists, separtists, and militants in general and actually they are right. How can anyone respect you or your people if you won't defend your cause and rights? What do you do in times, like now, when Black people really need tremendous help (tutoring, values, relationship counseling - not money) and other people think we don't need any? 4. We Black people need to be careful to be helpful to others, as others were helpful to us. People in my parent's generation were quite helpful toward other groups of people and many young people feel affinity with other groups of people. But it pains me when I see other Black people be negative towards homosexuals, Latinos, Arabs, and other people with their struggles. 5. In keeping with point 4, we need to check our own habits and racism. My father was a militant and even he will tell you this. The C word, N word, K words, D word, W word, etc. (if you don't know what any of those are, then good) need to NEVER be in our vocabulary about other people. We need to take care not to be hateful to others even if they have been to us. We need to honor our own people, who fought and/or died in the struggle and remember that these people wanted love and peace and humanity, not chaos and evil. We need to police our own behavior.

Question: How do people color cartoon pictures with computer? Hey people, I am just wondering how do people color cartoon pictures with computer? I am trying to color this cartoon picture I drew. I've already scanned it into the computer but do not have any idea how people can clean the scanned image and color it. Is it photoshop? If yes, any recommended sites that teach people how to color? Thanks people.

Answer: You can save it in .bmp format and open it in paint then color it easily.

Question: Why people continue to spend as if money is printed directly from a home printer? People keep on talking about the economy is bad blahblahblah, but I don't see them saving any money. I see people buying luxury cars, gadgets and etc all the time. The reason why the country has so much debt is that people's spending habits are not changing. When are people going to learn? Do they just hope that the government will find a way to make everyone happy?

Answer: The bill will come due,,,and that's when you'll hear some real crying.

Question: What happens to people when their unemployment benefits run out? This is happening all over the country. Where are these people supposed to go to get help? Yes, I have already heard some suggestions. For instance, the churches, and the Salvation Army. But their resources are also limited!! Places like these, could provide a hot meal and clothing, but I am quite sure they can't pay for the peoples rent, and utilities! Can these people apply for Welfare and food stamps now, just to be able to keep a roof over their heads and be able to feed their families? Aren't these people just as eligible to receive Government aid as the people who ARE on Welfare and never actually worked a day in their lives? The monthly Index of the newly unemployed seems to be holding just a little under 10%. Has the Government created an Index for those who have run out of benefits altogether, and any hope of finding work anytime soon? The Government says there ARE jobs available such as these census takers, which of course, are temporary. So THEY are NOT a permanent solution to the problem. Then the Gov, talks about these great paying Government jobs! OK! Who wouldn't like to snag one of those! BUT! WHERE are they? and how do you go about applying for one!?? Does a person have to KNOW someone in the Government to be privy to that information, or what??? The thing is, where would these jobs BE located? We all don't live in DC!! Oh! and last but NOT least, what qualifications must a person have in order to be considered for the positions? CarolO - I checked out that site you kindly gave me!! WOW!! The job postings!! You are right,, even a painter would have to hold a master's degree to use a paint brush and a minor in basket weaving! What is the Gov. aiming for? Hiring the cream of the crop, and the rest of us just fade off into the sunset, never to be seen again!! I took the 62 option years ago, and I am glad I did. I feel sorry for those who still have ten years or more, before they can claim the money they worked for so hard, and might very well find out the pot is empty. God Bless and Good luck.

Answer: I honestly don't know how people survive after UI benefits run out. Not that most people can do more than survive on UI benefits to begin with. The link below is where you can find information on government jobs. If you are not already employed by the Federal government, you need a college degree plus advanced education to qualify for a job as a secretary earning $43,000 a year. Jobs are located all over the country, but I doubt that the "average" citizen can get one because of the education requirements. You really really need to be already employed by the government. Entry level positions? No clue. I lucked out in a way because I was 64 1/2 when my company was bought out and about 400 of us were laid off across the country. My UI benefits will run out just a few months before I'm eligible for Social Security. If I can avoid some kind of crisis, I'll make it. But if I were young with children, I don't know what I'd do. I volunteer at a senior center now and there are a number of social workers at the site. They handle cases for people of all ages. Some of the people who come in for help would break your heart. All the social workers can do is refer them to various agencies which can help them, if they qualify under all sorts of rules and regulations. They also hand out bags of food for emergencies. The agency I volunteer at has free food distribution centers around the city and they are constantly running out of food because the number of people lining up has doubled or tripled in the past 2 years. It's scary.

Question: What kind of people typically fall prey to predatory cults like Scientology, JW’s and the Mormons? It seems like they target people who think they are different from other people. From what I know of Scientology, it uses tactics designed to exploit people who think they have some kind of hidden ability inside themselves. JW’s and the Mormons have made dogma designed to appeal to people who think they are holier, more pious and more virtuous than other people, right? What do you think?

Answer: Wrong. Predatory cult? Put up or shut up, my dear. The people whose lives are blessed by Jesus within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints do not hate you. If anything, we love you and pity you for the distress we seem to be causing you, however inadvertently. I think you should definitely get professional help for your eschatohierophobia. You'll be much happier, and you might even become a Christian. "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another."
