Answer to:
Do you speak with an Accent according to your culture,or do you have a more "Induvidual" Style of speaking? What accent do you like to listen to?*
I speak with a slight British accent, mind you I am a Brit, but the problem is when we speak several languages we get them all mixed up and begin to loose the essence of our own trade mark. All accents are interesting and allow us to tell where our friends and others are from. I love the Southern US and French accents.

Do you believe that a person's accent is defined by the socialbility of that person,or what do you believe?*
I believe our individual accents are based on our educational background and language. If we are from the UK, I am, we will have a solid British accent but if we are from the Southern US we will have a nice and warm accent which is very enjoyable.

When you notice one AB member being disrespectful/sarcastic to another AB member, do you jump in to defend, jump in to pile on or just walk on by because it's not your fight?
It depends. If the person being attacked is a friend who I know would never offend or insult, I become quite annoyed specially when ladies are attacked by rude men. I immediately answer the same question and give the offender a lesson without being rude.
.
If it is a small disagreement I move on but keep an eye on the threat.

It is useless to jump in the pile.

If a corporation deliberately chooses to reduce expenses by either doing something that kills people or willfully neglecting to do something which leads to deaths, and this was avoidable, is this murder? Should the business be dissolved for its crime?
1] Willful neglect that causes death = Murder
1.1] If 1] is avoidable = 1st. degree murder
2]Business dissolved = Not necessarily, if the owner is condemned for murder and there is no one else to take over then yes is must be dissolved.
If there is someone else not involved in the murder who can take over, then no the courts will not decide to dissolve it.

How could women get pregnant after their husbands had vasectomies? If a woman accidentally got pregnant but never wanted kids, what would they most likely do? Get an abortion or put it up for adoption?
If the vasectomy is not well done or should the lady get pregnant because of an auto reconstruction then if she also does not want children the best thing is to allow the child to live and as soon as born give it up for a closed adoption. Abortion is not recommendable due to future psychological effects on the mother.

Is it normal to hate a decent amount of people because they don't fit your criteria? I'm kidfree and I personally despise the opposite because they're a threat to my dating pool.
I don't understand how you can say "hate a decent amount of people"? How can you measure a decent amount of people when what you are going to apply is the most horrible, indecent and hurtful attitude which is hatred.
When you hate others or who ever, hatred corrodes your character, feelings and mind and you become a bitter person who will not have friends not even pets. If you...

I am a dog breeder, that is the correct term for such an activity. I am a married man who had two boys, one passed and the other is fine. When you use the term breeder you are indirectly talking about a litter full of puppies. I had two boys thus I am not a breeder. I don't like the term used on my wife and me.

How much does dark matter weigh?
The astronomers used the lens images, as well as the distances to each galaxy, to calculate the nearer galaxies' masses.

So the higher mass-to-light ratio appears to be the right answer.

Answer to:
Recently, I heard that Russian scientists have proved that a man's soul is actually a mass of negatively charged particle, though they were not able to capture it with a positive charge. What do you think? Where is science heading to?
They must be trying to make it to the media and they must have a lot of imagination but it is a pity they would discredit science like this.
The soul has not been able to be traced not even when scanning the brain of a dying person which was tried but there was no positive answer.

To reverse inflation: Control of government spending, increase production of exportable goods and increase interest rates.
