Should there be a law against bogans naming their own children? The greatest example of Bogans and their kids names, was in Neighbours, where a delightful child called Brie came onto the scene. Now, I happen to like cheese, so I have no objection to having a family of small cheeses - Brie, Camembert, Cheddar, and Stilton. Maybe I would name one Boursin if I wanted to go for something really classy....

It is right to be able to say what we want (well except on Answerbag, where there are things one is not allowed to say) but we must consider the needs of others. Personally I think it is wrong to insult families particularly at funerals, and I have the freedom to say...

Gordan brown just called a labour voter "a Bigot". Would you vote for labour now? Yes - the labour party is made up of more than one man - Gordon Brown is not standing in my constituency, so I could not vote for him anyway. Under our current electoral system, we sadly have to vote for a person, not a party

Answer to:
Does Gordon Brown look scarier when he smiles? poor Gordon - he is a good economist - just not a people person

Those who see humor in the discomfort of others are probably lacking in empathy,sympathy,kindness or the ability to relate to others? I disagree, they probably do have all those things but also like that lovely big word: Schadenfreude. To be able to see that someone is feeling pain shows that they do have empathy, otherwise they would not recognise that the person was in pain. But to laugh about it is another matter.

Answer to:
Is it true that in england when you get fish and chips it comes wrapped in newspaper? The paper used is the kind of paper used in the newspaper industry - but these days it is blank - has not been printed on. There are advantages in using paper - the fish and chips stay crisper than when placed in a polystyrene box - the steam stays in the polystyrene, and so the chips become limp when you carry them home. My local chip shop sometimes puts my packet of chips (wrapped in paper)...

Answer to:
Why does fish and chips always taste better when wrapped in newspaper? well it depends on the newspaper - they have different built in flavourings - for example, the Sun is saucy! (especially page 3), The Independent is a little dry, and the Daily Mail is for white fish only. And of course, because of its colour, you should only use the Financial Times for eating salmon!

New year's eve is the countdown to midnight, when the new year begins. So the celebrations are in preparation for...

knowing that 85% of paedophiles are gay men would you let a gay man babysit your young boys Actually, I did not know that 85% of paedophiles were gay men!

However, there are reports which suggest that the largest percentage of child abuse cases occur in the home with a close relative - so would you be worried about letting a father babysit his own children?

If my uncle gets me pregnant, what are the risks of having an abnormal pregnancy? Will the baby be healthy? It all depends on whether the uncle is a blood relative (ie, brother or your mother or father) or an uncle by marriage (ie, brother-in-law of your mother or father). The danger or ill-health through inter-familial marriage is due to sharing of a limited gene pool. But if your uncle is an uncle by marriage, then there is no sharing of genes. It is, however, not a desirable situation.

Do college exams take priority over spending time with my GF? Or is she just being needy? Ok, so you have college exams coming up, a girlfriend who wants to spend time with you, and here you are on AB. Maybe if you cut out the time spent here and divided it equally between the exams and the g/f then you might end up with a good job and someone to share your success with!

Anyone up for a nice colonoscopy today? Last time I had one of those, the doctor who was about to perform the procedure, came out to introduce himself - and extended his hand for me to shake. I am still wondering if he noticed that moment when time seemed to stand still for ages, and all i could do was stare at his hand, and think to myself: "Uh-oh - I know where that has been"

Does being on this site cure your loneliness, or does it make it worse, knowing your Friends on Answerbag, might not Really be your Friends in real life nothing cures loneliness - this site can help, but what i hate about it is that when you are having a really bad day, and ask a question about being lonely, there is always some little (insert rude word here) who will take the opportunity to make it worse, by adding hurtful comments etc. It is on days like that, that this site can be the worst place in the world to be - there is no way of...

Answer to:
I just registered on fluther out of curiosity and my first three questions were rejected. What's up with that? I asked a couple - and they were not rejected - I think you just have to accept that they have a different mind set about what constitutes a question - the purpose of asking etc. The majority of questions here would be rejected - either because they are too frivolous, or because they have a spelling mistake in them, or because they have been asked already.

Does anyone else feel sympathy for the CL's who have to try & defend the new AB site? Why do they "have to try & defend" the site? Have they been advised to do that? If the site was worthy, then it would not be necessary to defend it - the site should be able to stand up on its own merits. Does it? And... er... notice the "related" tags - how on earth is this question related to 'get well e cards'??????? Defend that!

But... look at it from their angle - they have had the rug pulled out from underneath them. And went to a different site, which welcomed them, set up a chat room for them, and had 8 moderators at a time, sitting...

I'm 15 and very much contemplating suicide. I know asking for quick methods gets no answers, so instead what are good reasons to live? The bad things in my life outweigh the good things and I don't want to fight through them to see how worse life will get I am not going to answer your question, because you have already had so many good answers. I just want to point out that your question appears to be related to money, make money, earn money on line, and life - look at the related tags just under your question. Isn't that bizarre?

Answer to:
Can we please get that Islam promoting violence thing off the front page? The opening paragraph is annoyingly Americentric. The whole site is annoyingly Americentric!!!!!

Answer to:
Is this question, posted by Answerbag, biased and offensive: "Does Islam Promote Violence?" No other religions are mentioned. There have been earlier polls, debates etc featured which focus ONLY on religions... I do not think it is biased against muslims, but it is definitely biased pro religion, and pro USA - all polls debates etc that I have seen so far have represented ONLY the interests of USA, which is very disappointing - I thought that the world had grown out of narrow mindedness

Do the whiners on here remind you of the old people who think everything should go their way just because they are old? Not at all. But I can see that it must be difficult to be ignored, and have your opinions tossed aside. I was looking at a question earlier - the answer was given by the "professionally researched" crew - well, with them on board none of us are needed. Even the non whiners will whine when they see they are surplus to requirements

Will you avoid AB's advertisement banners in protest to their new, substandard design? I avoided them in the old format too! I never go to advertising sites - especially when that advertising is unsolicited, as in this case. The advertising is frankly annoying - but is even more annoying in the new site than the old, as it crops up in the MIDDLE of answer threads!!!! However, ironically, the first one I noticed was advertising a site which answers questions *LOL*

Answer to:
With Answerbag's own debates and questions, I've noticed that there are many topics applicable only to Americans. Is this a good idea? this site is a business - it needs to decide who its target audience is. Those of us who are not in USA are marginalised due to the overwhelming american content of the site. If AB seems to pay so little regard to its "customers", then it will fail, as has been demonstrated in the recent mass exodus - so AB start to pay attention to the needs of your customers!

Anything is better than the French number system. everything is fine until 69, then it goes.... 60-10, 60-11, 60-12 etc, then after 60-19, we switch to 4 20s!

I would prefer to think of Kim as a woman. It would be nice if these questions were not gender stereotyped. Ok, now imagine Kim is a woman, then think about the answer - the answer would be Kim would have 20 feet of moulding left over, as she would wait until her husband got home, so he could work out how to frame the doorway.

I learned to knit when my grandmother taught me - I was only three at the time, but I still remember how she taught me.
