Answer to:
In what subject do you think people (as a whole) are most hypocritical, if any? I don't believe hypocrisy can be categorized into subjects. Hypocrisy is professing to others how to behave, then not behaving that way yourself. That kind of behavior spans all categories. Hypocrites are hypocrites. It's not something that can be isolated to a single category.

In your opinion, what constitutes "a poem"? What criteria does a piece of writing have to fulfil in order to be considered poetry? Poetry is about the artistic use of language. Poems do NOT have to have rhythm, or rhyme. Poetry doesn't even have to make sense. It can have both, but does not have to have either. Poetry is painting a mental picture with words. It doesn't have to be a visual picture either. The real art of poetry is using precise words, and as few as possible, to paint a vivid picture of a view, an...

After cats are fixed, do they get the urge to mate? i was just wondering because my neighbors cat likes to mount my girl cat, the neighbors cat is a girl too, just wondering if this is causeing them to fight to the point of making each other squeal. Any cat that isn't fixed BEFORE they begin spraying (males), or going into heat (females), can continue spraying, or continue the same periodic behavior of being in heat. If they ARE fixed before heat, or spraying they are far less likely to develop the behaviors. Females mounting however, has nothing to do with being fixed, or sexual behavior. This is a display of dominance, nothing more.

If you bought a new boat with it, and you are keeping it, that counts toward your capital gain which would amount to $100,000. If you used it to improve the house, it counts toward the value of the home, and not as income, or gain, because you get no benefit from it in the end, so your gain would be $20,000. You...

Why don't we have the ability to keep some of our question submissions anonymous, therefore, save ourselves the embarrassment of asking certain questions? Somebody correct me if I am wrong. I believe the only way to ask an anonomous question without it ever showing up in your primary profile, is to open a new account. On the set-up screen that asks for your username, there is an option to render yourself anonomous. You will likely need a separate email account for that username. Just get a free Yahoo, or Hotmail (if you use Outlook, you can put...

If you were to remove one book from our history forever, what book would it be and why? Perryman made a very serious point. Everyone should read 451 at least once in their life.

If I don't want to hire a real estate agent, how can I find information on homes for sale in my area? While it may seem that the seller pays commission, where does the seller get the money? From the buyer! Other than that point, I agree with abbeyguy. The fact is that the commission doesn't change in most areas even if you have a buyers agent. Selling agents would rather you didn't hire a buyer's agent, because they have to split their commission with him. That's what can...

It should be expected that those who don't agree are going to respond. Debating is not against the AB terms. Rudeness is a little different. Rudeness isn't a direct violation either because defining the rudeness is subjective. At times we may feel that someons has been rude when they didn't mean to be.

I've sold my soul to the cable company.. Is there a way to get it back?

Only then may you have your soul back.

Parisian style breads are nothing but water, salt, yeast and flour. Large batches of twenty or more loaves are mixed for around twenty minutes. The reason for this is because it is this long mixing that produces the chewy consistancy and thick hard crust. This is what you don't want with...

How does one go about becoming gay? I'm told I can do this, but everything I've tried has failed. Perhaps you don't really "want" to be gay.

While I don't argue that we may have desires that we don't understand, or can't explain (I have a few myself), I still hold that we are not prisoners to these...

When did liberals take over the American network news media? Rflagg is right. Liberals do not control the media. Money does, and that's about as conservative as it gets. The "liberal slant" (if there even is a liberal slant) is only there just enough to get people watching, and not enough to irritate the advertisers.

Why do they call the races "white" and "black" if people are really tan and brown? It's simply a perception. A matter of interpretation. A darker skinned person when first seen by a caucasion, probably seemed black, simply because he had never seen anyone so dark before. The opposite may be true for the first black man who saw a white. I'm just guessing. The truth is that we are all different shades of the same color.

As for the hair, it just doesn't seem practical to me for a carpenter to have long hair. There is no way to know exactly what he looked...

If you could change your name to anything you wanted, what would it be? But don't try to pronounce it. If you do, your tongue will twist itself into this shape and never come undone. Then every word you speak will be smokeyshroomese, which no one can understand, unless they have ears shaped like this. (And, no, I did NOT get this idea from Prince! I have been drawing this doodle for thirty-five years.)

When the young boy asked which one wins, the old chief replied,...

The calculation you are using (I have seen this before) is akin to using a Metric scale to determine how many inches are in a foot, without doing the necessary conversion from metrics to inches/feet.

Why do so many act as if the differences between women and men have to be a negative source of contention rather than a positive source of complimenting each other's traits?

If the court of appeals in NY passes a law for westchester county does that decision carry over to any other part of the state? Courts do not pass laws, legislators do. Courts only interpret how laws can or cannot be applied in given, specific circumstances. They interpret and apply the law, but they do not propose, write, or pass any laws. A decision on how a law is applied, can indeed carry over to the rest of the state.

Why do some people take things so seriously? I think people who lack humor are overdosing on fear. They are afraid that to "lighten up" is to lose control and who knows what sort of chaos would ensue then? They are the type that need to control every moment of their lives. They need order, and hilarity is not part of order. It's a sad way to live. Serious has it's place, for sure, but it's just plain healthy...

When you played in boxes as a child, what would you pretend the box was? Without fail, I would have my father cut two U shaped indents out of the edge of each end for my feet and hands to stick out of, and a round hole in the middle of an end for my head. I would then get under the box with my head out the hole, and feet and hands sticking out. Crawl into the kitchen and holler "Look Mom! I'm a turtle!"

My cat is 12 (female) and she will not pee or poop in her cat litter box. She is indoors and there are no other animals around. What do I do? Try putting a little bit of ammonia in the litter.

More important though: WHEREVER your cat has pooped, or peed must be cleaned up to the point there is no trace of the odor anywhere else. Your local pet supply should have some good enzyme based cleaners that will get the job done. It's best if they...

Is it ok to keep real butter (not margarine) unrefrigerated? Our family has always kept our butter refrigerated. It can be left out at room temperature for short periods, but during the heat of the summer, it becomes rancid if left out for too long.

We never had a problem with that because we always ate whole...

If a child this age is exposed to porn by himself, and only a few times then it MAY not have an effect on his sexual developement. But the question implies that the child is viewing it repeatedly. This means he is fascinated with it. A ten year old's body and mind are not fully developed enough for that kind of repeated stimulation...
