Disco didn't die. It mutated, somewhat, and is now called many things, such as House, Garage, Techno, Trance, Eurodance and hundreds of other names.
The thing that connects all these "flavours", is the beat. The beat is at the root of Disco and this beat is the rhythm of all our hearts.
So Disco will never die whilst there is at least one person alive on this planet.

Thus, he will find out.

Answer to:
What do you think about rap?
Even if there are good things underneath the surface, as Intellegensia claims there is, the majority of people who don't like this type of music can't get past the loud, aggressive, egotistical maniacs and downright "in your face" style & mannerisms that characterises this music. Treating women like dirt and disrespectfully doesn't help endear us to this culture...

What is your Achilles' heel?
Indignation at;
The way modern life has taken people downhill.
Rude, inconsiderate people.
Poor spelling/use of language (and the public's disinterested response to it), plus the insidious creep of abbreviated/SMS/junk words into everyday life.
...And why we can't run a mild electrical current with our car and burglar alarms?....seems so unfair.
The complex and ever...

Answer to:
Do you think that Answerbag 4.0 has less of a 'community' feeling than AB 2.0?
I think its too early to say, especially for hatchlings like myself.
I think in future upgrades, I would like to see something like a slowly scrolling list of unanswered questions on one side of the screen (or top/bottom), plus the top questions slowly scrolling on the opposite side.
I don't know what kind of overhead this would put on the system, but perhaps a computing expert could...

Answer to:
What are good things to put on your resume?
I wouldn't view things on your resume/CV as "good" things, because in many employment professional's view, a resume is ONLY designed to get you an interview - nothing more nothing less - because most resumes get less than 1 minute's worth of attention from the employer and you have to make a quick-ish impact.
Personally, I paid for my resume to be designed and...

Answer to:
Does cheating affect a marriage badly even though it happened 2-3 times with same woman and the wife doesn't know about it? Are wives usually that blind that they can't tell if the husband is having an affair? Do husbands' attitude change?
Cheating is a one-way road - there's no going back. Once you cheat in your mind, the cheating is done. Any male that behaves in this way has no honour, integrity or a spine. Why such males can't end a relationship that isn't working first, before looking elsewhere, is something I will never understand.
And, for any women seeing married men, if he's cheating with you,...

Answer to:
Why is there so much negativity on Earth if all religions preach peace and love?
Because Religion is a made-up pile of nonsense, explicitly and carefully designed and intended to divide up all the people of the world, to confuse them with double-speak and multiple-interpretationalism, to encourage everyone to argue about everything and to bestow upon people the license to judge and issue opinions of superiority to others.
If you think independently and freely, you never...

Answer to:
Why can't I tear myself away from this bloody computer and go shopping for food?
Because somewhere along the line, your involvement with the computer fills a psychological/emotional need greater than the need for food, which is easier to find than what the computer is feeding you.
However, it could be more serious than that.
Answer to:
What is the most effective way to quit smoking?
I stopped "cold turkey" in 1980 after smoking for about 5/6 years. It was hard for about 2-3 weeks, but afterwards the habit and addiction was gone.
I would now recommend "Allen Carr's Easy Way To Stop Smoking". He sadly died recently, but his method was as close to 100% successful as makes no difference. He brought a book out too.
Try it - you've only got...

Answer to:
When someone gets on your bad side (unintentionally or otherwise), are they more likely to stay on your bad side indefinitely or do you generally allow them opportunities to get back on your good side?
Clinically speaking, if the other person did or said something quite unacceptable/heavy/wrong without any provocation, I wouldn't waste my time on giving them another chance - because they just had their chance and if they chose to behave in the way they did, that's their look-out.
However, such a stance doesn't apply to everyone all of the time. It would depend on how long...

Why is the Bible so hard to read?
Because it is, essentially, a bunch of bunkum, made-up stories, fantasies, dreams and wishes of power-hungry and very clever and crafty people, who have re-written it over and over, perhaps hundreds or thousands of times, but who have also carefully designed it to ensure that it confuses, misleads, mis-communicates and double-speaks to any one reader, aswell as providing multiple and...

How do I get the willpower to not eat junk food?
Lady Fuschia hits the nail on the head, once again.
I agree with the 3-weeks plan bit - in fact, I tried something for 2 weeks and by the end of 2 weeks, it had become the norm for me - and I'm quite a foodie.
You'll be surpised at what you can achieve in such a short time.
I used to be mad for all sorts of food and now those temptations and addictions don't come into mind...

Even if you think you can't stop drinking the stuff, you can.
Answer to:
I hear people saying they cannot eat certain veggies or fruits because of the sugar content. If a diabetic is encouraged to eat fruits and veggies, then how come a person who is on a weight-loss diet cannot eat fruit or veggies?
What you need to consider, primarily, is the SPEED with which the body can get at the sugar (energy) that is in every food. If the process is quick and/or you eat a large quantity, the body responds with an appropriate surge in insulin to cope with the inceased sugar level. Afterwards, your blood sugar then drops quickly, making you feel hungry again, which then risks you repeating the same...

Answer to:
How much impact will not smoking, being a vegetarian, and not drinking tea, coffee or alcohol have on an individual's health in the future?
By all means, stop drinking & smoking but from the food side, I would say that you would end up a very sick person.
Our diets are the most underated, under investigated element of our health and yet it is vital to our understanding of what is REALLY going on in our bodies when we consume food and more importantly, what we choose to consume.
Carbohydrates and more specifically, starch...

What's up with quiet people? What are they thinking?
The premise of "what's up with quiet people?", suggests that there is something wrong or abnormal with them. But you could also make the argument of "Noisy people, what's up with them?".
There is nothing inherently wrong or a problem with being either quiet or noisy, it's how you are made up. If you don't like quiet people, that's personal...

Which fruits have the lowest sugar content?
If you go by glycemic index measures, the following fruit have the lowest readings (out of 100).
Cherries (22), Grapefruit (25), dried apricots (31).
Always eat real fruit, rather than fruit juice. The body has to work harder to get at the juice in real fruit and the longer it takes to get the sugar inside the fruit into your body, the more constant will be your blood sugar levels and your...

What are the advantages of drinking soy milk rather than cow's milk?
Most humans can't digest cow's milk - a basic fact that has been omitted from the public's knowledge of this alleged-staple food.
Cow's milk can also give rise to growth of mucous/slime and it can also contribute to stomach candida, from its sugar (lactose) content.
Being non-dairy, soya milk is a great alternative to cow's milk and you won't notice much if...
