Trump is helping Ed McMahon save his six bedroom Beverly Hills mansion from foreclosure. McMahon has made a fortune during his career but took 1st & 2nd mortgages plus other liens on his home! Should Trump save his home- what about the rest of America? I don't feel sorry for McMahon in the the least. He can just sell his mansion and live in a perfectly nice smaller home somewhere else. So, no I don't think Trump should bail him out. I don't think anyone who chooses such an ostentatious and elaborate lifestyle should be bailed out. They just need to scale down and live like the rest of us. And that's a pretty decent life.

I have a coworker that is cheating on his wife. If I tell on him, it will screw up his life hugely - and maybe get him fired - and I'll get his job (more money). Should I tell for my personal gain? Absolutely not. Live by the sword, die by the sword, know what I mean? These things always come back to haunt you (as they should). And besides, you'll have a reputation as being meddlesome and untrustworthy. It's not worth it.

Answer to:
Is happiness relative; are you happier when people around you are miserable? It's relative in the sense that you judge your well being and how good your life is compared to those around you. I don't think people are happier when those around them are unhappy. If that were true than we'd surround ourselves with miserable people all the time. In reality, most of us seek the company of happy, optimistic people.

How much detail would you provide your family and friends if you were faced with something that some might consider to be "unpleasant"? I tend to avoid discussing unpleasant things I'm going through with my family. But that's mainly because I'm a very private person and also because they (especially my mother) tend to be overly sympathetic. And when I need to be strong and tough, the last thing I need is to have people feeling sorry for me.

What is all too common is the smug, superiority displayed in your attitude. Just because someone is unaware of Handel's Messiah hardly makes them ignorant.

Since atheists tend to be very practical people, most would not be in favor of going through the enormous and unnecessary hassle of ditching the system that has worked just fine for almost 2,000 years.

It's the only movie I've ever seen him in where I thought he actually made the movie worse. I wanted to like it so much, but it's just not a very good movie. Maybe you should check out There Will Be Blood. It's not really a traditional western...

Why did the U.S. congratulate itself on issuing "the first") triangle-shaped stamps (for the US) in 1997 when practically every country had done so before? I never heard of this before, so I had to google. All I found was one mention about "the first triangle stamp issued by the USPS". I think the USPS would know if they'd ever issued a triangle stamp before so I'll take them at their word. Obviously, they are not claiming it to be the first in the world and the tone was not self-congratulatory anyway. (why would it be......

Should voting be made compulsory in the U.S. as it is in other countries around the world? You are throwing around false information, Buxtonite. You have repeatedly stated in this thread that U.S. voter turn-out is 20%. Where on Earth did you get such a figure? Did you completely make it up? Voter turn-out in the last Presidential election was 64%! In 2000 it was 60%. Even in years when there is low public interest it is at least 50%. This is a decent question but you spoil...

A lot more than the false 20% statistic that you were throwing around as fact in your other voting thread. (I can't believe no one called you on that.) In the 2004 presidential election, voter turnout was 64% with some states having close to 80%. The voter turnout for 2000 was 60%.

How am I expected to meet men if Christians aren't supposed to go to any of the places the guys are? Are you a part of some seriously strict Christian sect or something? Because I've never heard that you can't go to "places the guys are" from mainstream Christians. And yes, such a rule would make it very difficult to meet people of the opposite sex.

Giuliani now has an endorsement from Pat Robertson. Does this help or hurt his campaign? It doesn't help at all.

Have you ever gotten stitches? When I was twelve, I had my appendix out. They cut a fairly deep, two inch hole in me and left it open for a few days. I was fascinated with my gaping wound and was actually excited about getting my first stitches. Bummer when they decided to tape it instead. So, no. Never had stitches. : (

Do you think Women should breastfeed in public places...i.e. walmart? I see plenty of women nursing in public and, for the most part, unless you stop yourself, strain your neck and make a deliberate attempt to see nipple, you're not going to see anything. Every nursing woman I've ever seen has been discreet about it and usually had plenty of coverage with a blanket or shirt. It's not like you see babies hanging off bare boobs in the check out line.

Whenever ny hubby is in pain & he gets irritated, he calls me a "little f-ing bitch". He does this in front of my 3 y/o daughter frequently. I told him that the next time he says that, I am going to slap him in the face. Should I? I agree with Saboteur. This is not only a terrible way to treat you, but think about your daughter witnessing this and "learning" that this is the way women should be treated. This is verbal and emotional abuse which will escalate to physical abuse eventually. Verbal abuse is bad enough. By putting up with it you are teaching your daughter that this is acceptable. Most girls who...

No. That was before my time. I do think it's interesting that people who listened to the debate on the radio thought Nixon won. But those who saw it on television thought Kennedy won. It just shows how we are so taken in by a candidates looks and image.

Why, at the supermarket, are there always flowers, fruit and veg in the first aisle? They go in the trolley first and then get squashed and bruised by all the tins and bottles then thrown in, and the alcohol in the last aisle crushes everything! In my supermarkets, they're usually on one of the side aisles. I know there is a reasoning behind how things are arranged though. For example, in American grocery stores, the milk is always at the very back of the supermarket, because everybody needs milk and that causes you to wander through and see other things that you weren't planning on buying and pick them up as well.

I only correct that when it involves documents or something important.

As you get older does the choice of a partner get smaller? Yep! I'm 41 and finally ready to settle down. I was always commitment phobic....mainly I was just waiting for perfection in a mate. Now, when I look back at my twenties and thirties, I can think of about 10 great guys that could have been "the one", but I never even gave them a chance. The pool of suitable men is definitely smaller for someone my age. Back then it was a...

Do you think books and novels should be turned into movies, why or why not? Definitely. Some of my favorite movies were books which I'd never even heard of before. I'm sure the movies help introduce the books to a whole new audience the author would never have found.

But other than that, I would not even consider sueing. It wasn't their fault but still they will live with the guilt forever. (which I wouldn't wish upon them either, but that is life).

I have a receptionist that insist that it is proper when asking who is calling to say "who am I speaking to". I feel like the proper way is "may I ask who is calling". Can some one one recommend an etiquette resource i.e. book, web "who am I speaking to" is impolite and cold (and it sounds nosy). The caller will feel your receptionist is judging whether he or she is important enough to be transferred to you. It's a real turn-off in my opinion. Have her say "Who may I say is calling?" Your preferred way is fine too.

I don't know what the weirdest museum is, but when I was in high school in Panama, I recall a school sponsored zoo trip. The zoo contained various breeds of dogs, cats, possom, skunks, raccoons. Very bizarre field trip. (I do believe they had a three legged coyote though).

Answer to:
Are cliques detrimental to user groups? I don't count AB in this, but I have been to many where 3 or 4 participants rule the roost, and can bully other users. They are always detrimental. Some people will always get along with certain others better. But it's not an open forum if people's views are automatically shut-out because they are not part of the in-crowd. (the idea of an internet "in-crowd" is quite laughable I know). I also think there are definitely cliques at AB. I could name them, but I won't. For instance, the...

Answer to:
Why would an Atheist spend so much time and energy talking about "God", when they don't believe that "God" exists in the first place? That is one of the best questions I've seen on this board. I think they mainly like to antagonize believers, which is just spiteful. I don't believe in a lot of things, but I don't go out of my way to badger and pick fights with those who do. Live and let Live. More people should live by that rule. also, notice Christianity is the only religion that is fair game when it...

Answer to:
I'm 27 years old, male, and I like to be alone. I make excuses to avoid hanging out with my friends or going to parties. Is this normal? If you always crave aloneness and have an aversion of crowds, the outdoors etc., you might be agoraphobic and there is treatment for that. There are various degrees of this condition. From the total hermit with a fear of crowds to the reluctant and uncomfortable person in certain social situations. Maybe you should look into it.

Answer to:
Do you like newbies on AB I actually prefer some of them (and I've only been here a few weeks myself) to the "oldies", who so often come off as smug and pretentious (and some are definitely very cliquish). Also, some, because of their "higher primate status" (LOL), seem to actually believe that their answers are more intellectually sound and valid and THAT frankly is a joke. Their answers...

"The internet will eventually herald the death of free speech, due to the ability to monitor and censor." How much would you agree or disagree with this sentence? Totally disagree. This is the same paranoia that fear mongers have perpetuated since Orwell's 1984.

Why give any points for someone to tell you where you are from in the first place...especially when they just type in a one word answer? And why are those who expand a little on where they're from, or would like to be from barely getting any ratings? The rating system...

Do you think it is more vain for a man to get a good toupee or hair plugs when he is going bald or to shave his head entirely, so the balding doesn't show? Are you vain if you dress nicely, pay more for a good haircut or use moisterizer? Sorry, your question assumes that all of these things you mention are vain (you're just asking which is the worst. ) I don't agree that all or any of these things makes a man vain. Everyone wants to feel good about the way they look. So let them do their best without the mockery. And for me...

I love reading autobiographies. Can you recommend one? This might not be to your liking, but I recommend "Who's afraid of a Large Black Man" by Charles Barkley. It's poignant, serious, and funny (as Sir Charles always is ! ) For a biography, I recommend "Lincoln's Melancholy" - amazing stuff in there. Most people don't know the severe depressions Lincoln struggled with all his life and how they worsened...

I was just a pain in the ass teenager, but I could tell how much it hurt her) That, and how I treated my mother in general, is one thing I wish I could go back and change. Kids, never be cocky and treat your parents with such disdain. Sometimes we think they are immune to hurtful comments. They are not and some of the...

What is your biggest grammar pet peeve? (mine is your/you're) your/you're doesn't bother me much, since it's an easy typo to make, especially on the internet.

Those of you who watch "Lost", who do you think is the best actor ("best" not "cutest") My answer is Terry O'Quinn (John Locke). I think he blows the others away, even though it's an excellent cast.

"We are never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy"- Seal. How do you feel about this statement? Totally disagree. Check out the scenes we see everyday in the middle east. Those people are getting seriously crazy and they are NOT surviving. What they need is to get a little calm not crazy. I can't get anyone to agree with me on this, but I think when we drop bombs over there, we should not use destructive ones, but instead have bombs that scatter valium, xanax, tranquilers, and a...

What are some ways to surprise a bf who's coming home from the service? Well, I have many, many, MANY stories of quite the opposite to tell. and this sentence "Americans did and do support the IRA and subfactions/splinter groups there of." needs validation. It implies that Americans in general support the IRA, which they do not. You will probably find more Americans supporting polygamy than you would find supporting the IRA. "Americans" is...

We absolutely refused and he would set this head in the middle of the table...

Why do we not eat Horse meat? I think as a basic rule, we only eat things we don't consider particularly attractive. Most people think horses are beautiful. Dogs, Cats etc. fall into the same category. They're too cute and they live with us. Of course, there are more reasons.
