Were you really surprised about the "revelation" that the NSA is watching you?
I've been puzzled about this ever since the story broke. People were so surprised and outraged, I guess I just assumed everyone already figured this was going on - people have been talking about Project Echelon (a way for the government to listen in on any phone conversation and look for keywords) for DECADES. I guess I just don't understand why people are surprised, did any of you not suspect this was going on?
5 AnswersGovernment8 years agoThe Sims - Once you stop playing do you feel like you've abandoned them?
Haven't played The Sims in a while, and I was just thinking - is my Sim sitting, huddled in a corner, alone and hungry? Maybe dead in a pool of blue urine? Anyone else consider their abandoned Sims?

5 AnswersParenting8 years agoI'm finally rich - now what?
I've spent all this time working 80 hour work weeks, dealing with co-workers and bosses I despise and now I've finally made my personal goal. What the heck do I do now? I'm already set to tell my boss off but what comes after? I have no friends, I wanted a relationship but they never understood that I wanted to get work out of the way while I was still young and physically able to enjoy life! Now I'm alone and I don't know what I want. I'm not a mean guy I've just found it hard to be in social situations. What do people usually want? I've never done a lot of things, never even played a video game. Any suggestions? And how can I get back to dating? Through new friends? The idea of speed dating terrifies me btw so none of that please. :)

2 AnswersPolls & Surveys8 years agoDo you think anyone has changed their religion (or lack thereof) because of this site?
I see a lot of troll-like posts on here, Athiests vs Christians - I've got to wonder if either side really thinks they're swaying anyone. What say you, has it happened before? Is it even possible, and if so are the people in question the sort to change their outlook by reading the right fortune cookie?
16 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoHow could someone become a "fan" of a real life serial killer?
I'm not trying to push my views on anyone I simply don't understand why people would ever make a fan club for a homicidal maniac- a person who, if given the chance might just kill them too. Why? What's the point? Do they admire them for doing what they would like to do?
3 AnswersOther - Society & Culture8 years agoHave you ever heard of a three way relationship that worked out?
Every time I hear about three people in a loveing relationship it always seemed to collapse leaving all parties upset and or hating eachother. Has this ever really worked out for anyone you know or have heard of? Not interested in it myself I'm just curious.
3 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agoMy mother drugged my drink so I would fail a drug test. How can I prove it?
I had my suspicions of her doing it before, now I'm sure. We were in a Starbucks in Barnes and noble, she offered to get me a drink, first asking if I was testing again. I got a video of her doing it but the cops said it wouldn't prove anything- I called them right after she did it and tried to get them to test the drink- they said even if they did find anything there wouldn't be any proof that she put it in there.
There were no witnesses and no video. I saw it with my own eyes. She's dangerous and no one will believe me. Is there anything I can do at this point? I've already scheduled a lie detector test, but that only helps my family believe me, it won't help my case against her. Now that the cops talked to her I know she won't try it again, I don't live with her so I don't need to worry about her poisoning my food or anything. Any ideas would be helpful.
4 AnswersMedicine8 years agoIf you could have any superpower but at the cost of changing your personality would you do it?
Lets say you could have any superpower - but the catch is one single aspect of your personality would change and you have no way of knowing what part of your personality would be effected, nor would you know how radical the change would be. Could be a positive change, could be very negative, you wouldn't know until it was done. Would you still go for it? Why or why not?

4 AnswersCommunity Service1 decade agoEver had a person in a dream become self-aware?
This happened to me last night. It was a lucid dream, so I was changing things at will, and this woman saw what I was doing and realized who I was. She started to cry, because she knew as soon as I woke up she would "die" or cease to exist.
Is there a precedent for that kind of thing? Could the person have represented a dormant or ignored aspect of my subconscious?
4 AnswersDream Interpretation1 decade agoDo you think Yahoo Answers is replacing parents for some kids?
I keep seeing question after question of things kids should be asking their parents. Do you think this is a good idea? Do you think this offers them the opportunity to ask questions without worrying about the consequences of asking on a particular subject matter? Why or why not?
I'm not writing an essay or anything, I'm just curious what you all think.
