my name is love and i look like thoughtful chimpanzee
My co-worker shakes his head at the TV in the break-room every time a homosexual it on it?
He doesn't just shake his head. He almost shakes his entire upper torso.
He's one of those Christian home-schoolers. He's home-schooled five kids. He made sure to give them 100% male and 100% female Biblical names.
I just ignored him, but he could tell. When he and another co-worker we're talking - making generalities about blacks and gays, I just stood there quiet - and he could tell.
It got to the point that he actually came over and sat down next to me in the break-room and asked - looking at me kind of sideways - about those "funny" people or however he put it - getting right in my business - and I just ignored him.
He still kept doing the head wagging thing when gays are on the TV.
I finally told him about how I was gay-bashed when I was ten years old. He said something defensive about how he's not doing that. (He's being Christian, and he doesn't agree with that lifestyle, morally.)
He's a fun one.

1 AnswerJamaica8 years agoMy teaparty uncle says, "The smallest minority group is the individual."?
What's he really trying to do besides annoy me? What's he getting at, and how do I respond to this please?
It seems to me to just be an individualist intellectualism - and seems to imply the civil rights movement should be nullified and considered finished (or something)...
HELP!!!
9 AnswersPhilosophy8 years agoMy wealthy Teaparty uncle says, "The smallest minority group is the individual."?
My uncle is full of all kind of opinions and insight - and the truth is that he can be very incisive, but I come from a bi-racial family, and I think he's being intellectually dishonest somehow... and just trying to piss me off.
How do I come up with a direct answer to this, please? It's not as easy as it might look.
3 AnswersPolitics8 years agoDoes anybody know who did this painting and its name please?
I know there's this famous painting done by someone famous. It's based on this scripture:
6 The wolf will live with the lamb,
the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling[a] together;
and a little child will lead them.
7 The cow will feed with the bear,
their young will lie down together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox.
8 The infant will play near the cobra’s den,
and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest.
9 They will neither harm nor destroy
on all my holy mountain,
for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD
as the waters cover the sea.
Do you know this famous painting where all the animals that should be tearing each other apart are living in peace and harmony just long enough to "strike a pose" for this painter's imagination, please?
I found this passage reassuring, lately. <3
3 AnswersPainting8 years agoIs using an Yahoo! for political discussion blind folly and perhaps a form of intellectual incest?
Lots of major corporations like WalMart etc. have been breaking ties with the politically perverse corporate bill mill known as ALEC - the American Legislative Exchange Council of which - YOU GUESSED IT -- Yahoo! is a member!
So is Yahoo! making us freer or more enslaved? or does that even matter...
4 AnswersGovernment8 years agohow well does Ambien work? What about Trazodone 100-150-300mg?
I usually can't get to sleep until 2 am and usually wake up too early in the morning - without getting my deep REM sleep. -- so I need help on both ends...
I currently take klonapin and an anti-depressant that together usually keep me in bed too late in the morning for years now, and I'm gettting sick of it. I've been taking meds like a "good little trooper" but am tired of waking up at 10 am. (I work second shift -- 3pm to 11:30pm)
I know about how much klonapin and the anti-depressant I need to get the sleep I need - and I can juggle those a bit more than I am right now... but otherwise I just take them all at 9:45pm so I can still drive home from work and all...
Please anyone?? Thanks in advance to all who answer...

6 AnswersPolitics9 years agoDoes anyone else think the advertisements are in poor taste or at least off-color?
Has anyone seen the "Force Factor" ads to the right of the screen when you're on Yahoo! Answers with the pictures of gross-looking guys and think they're at least a bit tacky? I don't mean to be snotty or arrogant.

1 AnswerOther - Health9 years agoMy co-worker says, "The Koch brothers are your friends."?
The Koch brothers are nefarious ultra-conservative multi-multi-mega billionaires second only to Warren Buffet. They are also very quietly funding everything conservative as much as possible - including the Super PAC "ALEC" that WalMart and Amazon.com just dropped out of... for (let's hope) ethical reasons.
To me, this is the equivalent of saying: "Big Brother loves you."
He also talks about fearing "The New World Order". He said something about monied people from outside the US (I guess) essentially trying to be in control of us (I guess). I know there is an element of truth in most things, but I have been repeatedly taught to NOT buy into conspiracy theories.
Here are some links about the Koch brothers:

Would anyone please comment? Are the billionaire Koch brothers my friends?
8 AnswersOther - Politics & Government9 years agoWhy is ANYONE for de-regulation of our economy in America? Ever heard of the Great Depression?
Isn't the stopping of regulating the, I don't know, perhaps, ENTIRE financial sector pretty much what accounts entirely for the current downfall of the American economy? Was the Internet "bubble" a GOOD thing?? Was the Real Estate "bubble" a GOOD thing? Is the current farm land "bubble" a GOOD thing?? Are Americans going to re-live the Great Depression???
Ever heard stories of people eating "dandelion" salad?
1 AnswerOther - Politics & Government9 years agoDoes anyone on Yahoo! Answers think the U.S. is "asking for it"?
If ANYONE of any part of the entire universe EVER flew a Drone over the U.S.A. to kill a suspected terrorist and killed say around twenty people in general, would you consider them to be a friend, enemy, or "fren-emy"?
5 AnswersMilitary9 years agoWhat would happen if the U.S. bombs Iran? Would anyone possibly support Iran militarily?
Might the war be a little bigger than just the U.S. dropping a few bombs here and there on some Iranian targets (never mind the "collateral damage", as usual)?
Hint, hint: Anyone on Yahoo! Answers ever heard of a country called "Russia" or "China"?
8 AnswersMilitary9 years agoDoes anyone agree with me that the deaths of women and children by U.S. Drone strikes are murder?
Women and children are being killed in verifiable quantities while the U.S. government covers up the real numbers. Any adult male near a suspected terrorist is considered "fair" game. Are we not justifiably galvanizing enemies every time we murder people with Drones???
