When there were no regulations and rotting meat was coated with borax and dairy products mixed with formaldehyde? It must have been so much better though, because it was sold at markets by local farmers and small businesses instead of big bad Walmart.

12 AnswersEtiquette5 years agoHow many of the people "boycotting" Target even shopped there in the first place?
Target stores - at least where I live - are usually located in cities and urban areas. Seems like most of the boycotters don't even live near one.
5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality5 years agoInstead of fighting over gender in bathrooms, why not change them to separate bathrooms for #1 and #2?
Personally I'm more offended when I go into a bathroom to pee and it smells like a horse barn than if a man was in there.
5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality5 years agoWhat should you do with your child's college fund if they end up not needing it?
For example, if they get a full ride scholarship or if they decide to go to work right away instead of college. Would you give it to them or keep it yourself, or get them something else they could use like a car or computer?
When I went to college I chose a school that offered me a full ride and my parents bought me a used car. This was a deal we had from the beginning of high school though, which motivated me to keep my grades up and apply for scholarships.
2 AnswersFinancial Aid5 years agoIs cracker barrel brand cheese related to the Cracker Barrel restaurants in any way?
I don't support Cracker Barrel restaurants for political reasons. Are the cheese products and mac and cheese dinners from the same company or does Cracker Barrel restaurant make any money from them?
9 AnswersChicago5 years agoDo hotels in India usually deny rooms to unmarried couples if they are foreigners visiting?
I have heard that many hotels there don't allow unmarried couples to stay, but is this their policy only for Indian guests or do they also deny if you are visiting from the US?

6 AnswersCooking & Recipes5 years agoDoes being quiet amount to being rude?
I saw this post on facebook where this lady threw her children's ice cream away because they were quiet when it was handed to them at DQ, rather than expressing exuberant thanks. The children were ages 8, 7 and 5. Do you think this was right or not? Here is the entirety of the post:
Took the kids to Dairy Queen after dinner. They ordered their dessert choices and we waited about 5 minutes for them to call out our number. The young lady (maybe 17) handed each child their ice cream. Not one looked her in the eye. Not one said thank you. Not to her, not to me... So I waited. I counted to 10
in my head as they dug into their ice cream and the young lady just looked at me (probably because she thought I was hearing voices) and I watched as my children strolled out the door. I followed them outside where I calmly collected their ice creams and my kids watched in horror as I deposited them into the nearby garbage can. All 3 launched into mass hysteria. I waited. Quiet. Calm. When they realized I had something to say, they quieted down.
I explained that one day, if they were lucky, they would work a job like that young lady. And I would hope that people would see them. Really see them. Look them in the eye and say thank you. We are too old at 8/7/5 to move through our days without exercising manners and honestly basic human decency.

7 AnswersEtiquette5 years agoHow do kids manage to eat those detergent pods?
I can see putting it in their mouth but wouldn't they spit it out and cry as soon as the taste hit them? They're too big to swallow and they have to taste disgusting.
3 AnswersOther - Food & Drink5 years agoIf that bathroom law passes, how exactly are they going to enforce it?
Will people have to carry their birth certificate around just in case they need to use the bathroom? Will old ladies with hormone issues be ran out of the bathroom due to their chin stubble?
8 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender5 years agoDo holiness Christian women (the ones that wear dresses and long hair) judge other women who don't dress that way?
There is a situation at work where a supervisor who is holiness (not sure the exact religion - she's Christian and wears dresses and long hair and so do the other women in her church) keeps writing up her subordinate employee for her wardrobe being supposedly inappropriate. There's nothing wrong with the woman's wardrobe as far as I can see - pants and blouses. The supervisor says the clothes show her figure too much but she's quite curvy with a small waist and she can't really help that. Unless she wears a potato sack it's going to show her figure. Do you think the supervisor is judging her unfairly due to her own religious beliefs?
4 AnswersReligion & Spirituality5 years agoWhy are Evangelical Christians so sexist?
I swear this is the most ridiculous thing I've read in awhile - http://entrustedministries.com/blog/look-away-my-s...
These women are teaching their sons that they are dirty if they look at a woman in a bikini or a picture of a model in underwear. Women wear bikinis to swim, to stay cool, to get a tan, whatever. I guarantee it's not for the purposes of corrupting your son, lady. And if you don't like the underwear store ads then don't take your kids into the underwear store. If people are buying clothes they usually like to see pictures of it on a model. That way I know how those VS panties might look on my @ss instead of just on the rack.
I mean, this isn't reality how these people are thinking! Why not teach your sons that women are PEOPLE who have the right to wear whatever they want as long as it's not violating the law. Maybe teach your sons that women wear swim suits because they want to go swimming not because they want to corrupt your purity? This is like how they think in radical Islamic nations that we're freaking fighting against.

5 AnswersOther - Food & Drink5 years agoWhat do 18-24 year olds do if they want to attend college but their parents won't provide FAFSA information?
Besides just paying on their own, waiting until they turn 24 or getting other resources? You can't even get government backed student loans without FAFSA, and private loans are a rip off. Is there a work-around for kids who were disowned or have deadbeat parents, but are still considered dependent students?
