Why is Trump winning in the polls when the online community professes to despise him?
I don't support him and despise his tactics. In all my years I haven't seen a person who is worst suited for the position. When I see comments in the media and online, I assume I and the majority of the community despise him. However, this doesn't translate into votes. He is winning the GOP race by a landslide.
15 AnswersElections5 years agoWhy am I so unaffected by watching human atrocities on the news?
For example I am seeing every day that Islamic lunatics are butchering people and I am unaffected and desensitized. However when I saw the news report of them destroy archaeological sites, ancient cities, and artifacts, I was furious and outraged. I know that people will die and repopulate, but remnants of past civilizations are priceless. Have I lost my humanity?
13 AnswersOther - Society & Culture5 years agoI have 2 homes and travel for work, is ALL my travel tax deductible?
For example: I live in San Diego and have a second home in Florida. I periodically travel for work to New York. After a week in New York I return to my second home in Florida. After a month or so, I will travel again to New York for a week, then return to my home in San Diego. Is travel to/from both homes to New York tax deductible? I always go to New York and spend a week there for work.
3 AnswersUnited States5 years agoWhy don't scientists modify the species of certain dogs due to selective breeding?
Due to selective breeding, dog breeds are so dissimilar they no longer even look like the same species. I understand the ability to breed is one indicator. But, really, can a 150lb bull mastif male impregnate a 3lb chihuahua female and she carry to term? Perhaps religious reasons we don't reclassify them?
5 AnswersDogs5 years agoIs yahoo answers administered by chimpanzees?
Some random troll user asks: "Why did THIS happen?" with no additional context or details. I foolishly took the bait and answered: "Please add additional supporting details to your question so I can update my answer more appropriately." The user reports me to yahoo. They deduct 10 points and warn me. I appeal: "User asks a rediculous question, I encourage the question to be improved to make yahoo answers a more valuable resource. I request you return my 10 points, and delete the question." Yahoo admin: Appeal denied! Subtract 10 more points. Hence, my question.

4 AnswersMathematics6 years agoAm I alone in thinking that the problem with the American government is actually the apathy of the American people?
Americans are completely disengaged. We are more interested in hearing about Justin Beber's drunk driving charges then we are in learning about the implications of new laws being enacted in support of NSA monitoring.
