Tyson is a convicted rapist should we be selling his book?
Tyson was convicted and served a prison sentence for a brutal rape. He tortured his victim before brutally raping her. Is it right for his book? Also Tyson recently admitted that he uses and sells cocaine. He has never been convicted of this but he still admitted in the British Press that he uses and pushes cocaine.
I don't think that we should be selling his book, as he will get money from the royalties for each book sold. It is like saying that it is ok to push drugs and be a convicted rapist!
Do you agree that we should NOT sell Tysons book which will "reward" him for what he has done! He may have been a famous boxer but this should not be an excuse for selling the words of a rapist and drug pusher!
5 AnswersOther - Society & Culture7 years agoWhy Does A Woman Have A Hissy Fit If You Dare To Tell The Truth About Her Hair?
A friend asked my opinion about her new hairdo. She had highlights and an expensive tint done. To be honest she looked like a cream puff. When she told me that she paid £100 to have her hairdo, I remarked that my local unisex salon could have done better for £20. After I said this she went ape and threw things at me. Do you think it is wise to tell a woman the truth about her hairdo or should us men lie just to please her? Do you think she over-reacted to my comments?
6 AnswersHair8 years agoI believe I have spotted a black disc like object the other side of the moon is this Nibiru?
While NASA and other space agencies say if the end of the world collision with Nibiru was true we would see this planet by now. BUT I think they have all been looking for a rogue planet that reflects the Sun's light. I think I have spotted this rogue with a surface so dark it is hard to see. It is about 340,056 miles from Earth and just to the right of the moon and appears to be getting closer. Every few hours I see a similar phenomenon to the solar eclipse "Baily's beads" just as the eclipse is ending. It clearly shows the outline of a planet with a near black surface. Do you think that NASA know that Nibiru is going to collide with Earth and have denied its existence to save us all from a mad hysteria? NASA say that all planets reflect light from the Sun, but what they don't say is that objects with a near black composure are not seen, of which there are well over 10,500 of them in the asteroid belt alone. What I want to know is: Am I the only one to have detected Nibiru or has this planet been seen by the boffins at NASA? If this planet has been seen by NASA why do they deny its existence, it is clearly out there!
15 AnswersAstronomy & Space8 years agoAnyone Else Having Access Difficulties On The Channel4.com/Paralympics Site?
I am based in London but when I try to access the Paralympics live video streams the site tells me that the video is unavailable or not available in my territory.
I have spoken to Channel 4 and they say all video streams for the Paralympics are working. I was wondering if there are others who are experiencing difficulties with the Channel 4 site?

3 AnswersOther - General Health Care9 years agoWas I Wrong For Showing That I Care?
My partner was aboard a flight that took off in heavy electrical storms between Singapore and Jakarta. After take off the flight status showed as "Active" About 30 minutes into the flight the status changed to "Unknown" This information was from the airline company's own website. The airline's arrivals information said flight overdue. The arrivals information at Jakarta showed "En Route" It took me nearly two hours to find out the correct information about this flight. Knowing that a Russian plane had crashed in Indonesia only 5 days earlier with the loss of all on board , I became worried and upset and was close to tears. Some hours later I received a sms from my partner saying they were now in home.
I told my partner about the information and the way it made me feel and that I got scared that their plane had come down. My partner said it was not my business to check on the flight and that I had over-reacted. Since then we haven't spoken much.
What I want to know is: Was I wrong for caring whether my partner was alive, injured or even dead? Given that the information I received was from the airline and airport. The correct information was found by chance on another flight status website by chance.
Do you think my partner was correct to chastise me for "over-reacting" Would you have done exactly what I did? I live in the UK, my partner lives in Jakarta and was flying home from a business trip to Singapore.
6 AnswersMarriage & Divorce9 years agoAre there any known issues with Yahoo Messenger?
Just recently I have experienced my messages not getting to the other person despite the other person being "online" Also I wasn't aware of their messages to me. I appeared online to them and was showing on line on my status but yet I didn't get their messages. When I looked in the archive messages the messages my friend had sent were shown there but were not displayed on my screen at the time they were sent.
Also in some instances the status of being online or off line doesn't change to show whether my contact is or isn't on line. (This happened this morning) P.S. I am on line on my computer and not through a smart phone/device.
The problem doesn't happen all the time and I was wondering if there are some issues with Messenger. If there are issues how long will it take Yahoo to resolve?
Are there any others experiencing these problems?
The problems seem to occur when one of us is signed in on a smart phone like BlackBerry, but solves itself in some cases after signing out and then signing back in to YIM
Any help would be appreciated - Thanks
3 AnswersOther - Yahoo Messenger9 years agoWhen voting for best answer are you swayed by the number of thumbs up/thumbs down?
When you vote for the best answer do you take into consideration the number of thumbs up and/or the number of thumbs down an answer has received? Or do you read the answers to see if you agree with the response just in case the thumbs up/thumbs down brigade have been through. Secondly are you surprised when an answer you have given has been given a high number of thumbs down but you still get voted "The best answer"?
6 AnswersYahoo Answers9 years agoIs there such a thing as a glass hammer/gavel?
I bumped into a Leprechaun a few days back and he told me that he would give me two crocks of 24 carat gold each weighing 100 kilos and three wishes if I could get him a glass hammer. I have to present him with the glass hammer at exactly 13 O'clock tomorrow 17th March St. Patrick's Day. I am wondering where I might get a glass hammer from?
2 AnswersOther - Social Science9 years agoShould I tell the police everything?
I was seeking revenge on my neighbour when he came out and caught me. While on holiday he said he accidentally used weedkiller on my new lawn. I crept round his place and was in the middle of cutting a big hole in his aviary to let his budgies out when he came outside and caught me. He snatched the wire cutters off me and shoved them into my shoulder. Should I tell the police everything? I am on a 2 year suspended jail sentence for letting my cat into the same aviary last year. My cat ate 8 of his birds. Shall I tell the police why I was cutting a big hole in my neighbours aviary?
8 AnswersLaw Enforcement & Police9 years agoWas this stupid or what? Should I tell my wife what I have done?
I ran out of firewood to light the fire because I was cold, so I took some wooden planks off the back of a nearby beehive. The bees came out an flew straight into my house. Now I am outside shivering while I wait for a bee keeper to fetch the bees. My wife is upstairs having a bath should I tell her about the bees and what I did to get them there or should I not say anything. She is petrified of bees and has an allergy to their stings.
8 AnswersMarriage & Divorce9 years agoMy unicorn lost its horn should I get my money back?
I bought a unicorn from an Irish Leprechaun for €40,000 but earlier today the horn fell off and now my unicorn looks just like a white horse. Funny thing is I didn't realise that unicorn horns were made of steel and look like the top of the railing by my local school. I think I have been cheated, do you think I should try to find the Leprechaun again and ask for my money back?
12 AnswersHorses9 years agoShould Lloyds Banking Group be allowed to go bust?
I want to know should Lloyds Banking Group be allowed to go out of business if sufficient provisions are made to protect the individual savers. This would mean all savers would get their money back. Those holding loans and mortgages should be transferred free to another financier or in certain cases have their debts written off as part of the wind-up deal.
Lloyds Banking Group have a long history of having the most complaints, being in the red (as they are now) and having a poor customer relationship with their customers.
I know that an awful lot of people would lose their jobs and it should be that they receive compensation for this. This compensation should only be paid to those that do not get big bonuses or high wages.
Tax payers money has been spent on this failing bank and I think it is time to let it go (using tax payers money again to help wind it up) I also think that the higher paid earners of the bank should repay their wages and bonuses that they had over a 2 year period. This would provide funds for the bank and would mean less burden on the tax payer!

3 AnswersPersonal Finance9 years agoDo you think PSO's are a waste of time and money?
In the UK we have Police Support Officers who are supposed to be able to support the police by doing some of the jobs that the 'ordinary police' can't usually get to do. They usually patrol the local neighbourhoods and to work with the local communities in tackling crime.
It seems now that the PSO's don't do much and are not interested in anything related to the community. What do you think?
