Voice of reason

I would like to hear from all sides. This question pertains to all political parties out there. Why do Americans have to be so stupid on issues such as religion, abortion, health care, criminal justice and other kinds of stuff? Most of the people just seem way to uneducated on these topics. Fell free to add more topics if you would like.

But keep in mind, "Why are Americans so dumb?' Or if you disagree with me what makes you think that Americans are so intelligent?! Please post that as well!

Please no hate speech. Keep it clean.

I never see it around anymore. It seems like there is no need for roller skating rinks so they close. There is only a handful left in nj. Are figure roller skating clubs some kind of secret society?j/k

But if you are part of a club or competitively figure roller skate, what state? Have you tried figure skating? Is it harder than ice figure skating? What made you to figure roller skate?

I wash my hair 3 times a week, but I hate to do this cause I use so much product. Every time I wash I use a high end deep conditioner like Fredric Fakkai, L'Orel Expert and a hot oil treatment every time I shampoo.

I went to the stylist today and she that that my hair is in good condition (and believe me it can take the abuse) and soft despite the fact it has some frizz.

I do straighten my hair every now and than, but it's one of those pricey strait irons thats actually good for you hair (so they say) It does still dry my hair out regardless.

I just want to be able to let my hair dry naturally and have it be nice (not frizzy)

So will I be able to relax it with out chopping my hair off? I have been trying to grow it long for the past year.

My hair type is Caucasian, medium in thickness and density. It's REALLY wavy and frizzy but can take lots of abuse. It's light brown but can turn blonde in a matter of minutes.

Can this work? Can you recommend a relaxer that will help me??

The reason why I'm asking (trust me its a good one) Is that I loaned a "friend"money to bail him self out of jail, thinking that he would go to court and have my bail money returned. But the jerk missed his court date and my bail was forfeited. I know he still has a warrant out, but I want to make sure. I am thinking about turning his butt in so he learns a lesson.

Please give only real answers, if you do not know don't answer. I am not looking to be ripped apart by you people.Thank you.

I have always wondered this. You can live with only 10-25% of your liver and it regenerates. Why is this?

Wouldn't it be great if we evolved and all out internal organs regenerates?

Educated guesses/answers only please. :-)

I'm not talking about the sensible vegans who respect a carnivore's natural diet. I am talking about the hardcore peta vegans who think killing any animal for any reason is cruel.

Would it make them feel better if they saw a snake trying to swallow a tree? Or a lion munching on a bed of flowers?

I know some vegans make their pets go vegan too, despite the fact that some animals are obligatory animals, like ferrets. I have done some research on vegan pet foods and don't really agree with it. And I know some vegans skip having pets all together.

So, I was just wondering what they think about animals in their natural habitat. Are other animals "cruel" because they eat other animals?

What are your opinions? Do they think nature is cruel? Do they think that adopting animals, taking care of them, and loving them is cruel? Where does the line of animal cruelty stop?

the reason why I'm asking is because, IMO, I feel that Native Americans have been screwed out of their land and still are being screwed over, but they say nothing about it. On the other hand people are still racist against African Americans but they are VERY angry over something that happened 160 years ago.

The reason why I'm asking this is because, I want to hear you opinion. They both have equal rights on being angry,

Europeans chose to enslave African Americans and kill and segregate Native Americans.

Give me honest opinions, no nonsense, please.

I see jack in the box commercials all the time but the closest jack in the box fast food chain is in North Carolina. I am just wondering why they would advertise it here in New Jersey when there are none near by.

As in being forced psycotropic medication. If so, what is the law on this? I have done some reading on the internet but never found any yes or no answers. All I found were law suits trying to force medicate or people suing for being forced medicated.

When I was in the hospital I had to sign a paper saying I had a right to refuse medications but my dr said that if I did not comply with medications that I would be commited and not be allowed visitors (which is also my right to have visitors)

Long story short, I bailed a friend out of jail for the amount of 1000$. I told him he could pay me back when he went to court cause the bail money would be returned.

I got court papers telling me when he had to go to court since i signed the bail. I could not baby sit him and go to court with him as i have other things to do and i trust him. Well, I got a notice in the mail saying that he forfeited bail. He was lying to me the whole time saying the check is in the mail ect ect ect. When I confronted him about it he said there was a mistake untill i called the court myself and found out the truth. I always gave him the benefet of a doubt dispite his known coke problem.

Well anyways, I took him to court he never showed up. He's offered to pay me back but when ever the day comes he never has the money or it's like 20$ out of a promised 150$

So the crime stoppers in my area offer a cash reward for reporting people with out standing warrents. And I NEED that money back

My car was the victim of a hit and run. It was parked in a parking lot and the other party hit my car and ran off. Luckily I has a witness record the make and model and the license plat number of the car. the cops were called and a police report was filed. The other party was called and made a statement.

The damage to my car is minor just dents but the paint hasn't chipped. Money is really tight and could use it to pay bills, food and property taxes. I was wondering if I can file a claim and keep the money and not get it fixed. Is this legal?

I mean, I am being compensated for damages to my car but the money is going to other uses.

Serious answers only please. Please keep your answers relevant to the queston.

Someone told me that every time your credit card gets declined, it goes against gainst your credit. How true is this?

Why or why not?

Yes or no answers will not suffice. Please give sources if you can.

I need new clothes, badly, but I hate all the fashions that are out. All of the clothes look like they came right out of the 60's/70's. It's disgusting. When will this phase be over and what can buy to hold me over till than.

My boyfriends couches are giving me a head ache! My boyfriend just moved his old but new couches in. They are new in the sence that they were hardly used but old in the sence that they have been sitting in a gargae for 5 years.

They look nice and everything and we got them steamed cleaned today but when I sit on them they are giving me a massive headache and my nose starts to get stuffy.

Now I have a feeling that it's cause they have been sitting in a garage for so long. But what is causing the head ache? Will it stop? what can I do about this? Will I have to get rid of them?

Please answer your question fully. No yes or no questions will be accepted.

I am moving down to mexico in a few months and I have a lot of pets. I have 6 ferrets and 2 cats.

I was wondering if I can bring this many anmals down with me. What the requirements for doing so? Is it ok to bring ferrets?

I just read a whole article on skin cancer and they showed what some types of skin cancer may look like. My boyfriend has many moles on his body (over 50) and I am concerned that some may be cancerous.

Some of his moles did look funny to me. He says that he has no health insurance and just brushes me off when I bring the topic up. I even offered to pay for the dr. appointment and he just responded "whatever"

Also, how long would it take for skin cancer to progress till he realizes he feel crappy enough that he needs to see a doctor? He thinks skin cancer is a joke and he is invincible to it. I am even thinking about telling his dad. Even though he's 26. At least his dad will care.

Just so you guys know I am checking his moles periodically for changes in shape and color.
