Why do people ask people from the INTERNET important medical questions concerning themselves?
Q. Why do people ask people from the internet important medical questions concerning themselves? I am baffled at some of the medical questions I see people asking about themselves on here, especially when they have already been given an answer from there doctor which they have visited on the issue. Why do they not ask there doctor these questions, or get a second opinion from another doctor. I am amazed that people would turn to people from the internet, who they do not know, to answer a question concerning there health, and welfare. What are your views on this?
Asked by rpryor4 - Mon Oct 27 11:39:41 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Some people are asking out of curiosity, maybe someone can give them some insight, or maybe someone has experience the same thing, or things to think about before going to the doctor. But when some people come on here and ask what shall I do my baby has had fever for days now, or questions like that .. is beyond me. Those people are just stupid. Common sense would tell anyone with brains when to ask and when to call or head to the doctor.

Why do people make fun of others when walking down the street?
Q. Why do people find the need to laugh at someone who's just minding their own business walking down the street? I'm talking about snickering, giving dirty looks, whispering and pointing to their friends to laugh too or making sure that the person sees them laugh. I can't understand why people would do this since the person is not bothering anybody... Why would people do this, since I've seen this rude behavior coming from multiple people? Some people say its because of a lack of self-esteem but isnt that being kind of nice about it? To me it seems just really mean and spiteful.

How can people be so ignorant and beleive negative lies the media says about muslims?
Q. I find alot of people judge islam and muslim people when they don't even know what islam is. The media sends out negative messages of islam being a violent faith how can people judge when they don't know what the islamic teaching is. And they don't realise that islam is probably the only religion that is most anti-war and anti-crime. Its very irritating knowing thatso many people have fallen for the media's lies.
Asked by eee - Sun Sep 6 08:45:46 2009 - - 14 Answers - 0 Comments

A. *Sighs* Sorry, but the media doesn't paint all Muslims as violent; it points out that the extremists are a minority. However, claiming it to be the most anti-war is borderline fallacious; claiming it to be the most anti-crime is a flat-out falsehood. Islamic nations are home to some extreme examples of human rights abuse, especially as regards women's rights.

Why some people start to giggle when they see people of opposite sex naked?
Q. This never happened to me. Since I was a kid I have seen people of the opposite sex naked of all ages but never happened to me to giggle or to laugh because of that. Are people who laugh when they see people of opposite sex naked possesed of a demon? Or why do they do that?

A. It's a nervous response -- a way to react when the proper way is unknown to the giggler. Most will improve with patient instruction and the opportunity to become comfortable with whatever had previously caused the giggling.

What do people often forget to consider when choosing a breed?
Q. What should people consider why starting to choose a breed? What is often overlooked when people fall in love with a breed? Does this generally happen because people don't consider it at all, or because they think they can make the dog adapt to it because they really want the breed even though it isn't a good fit? What were some of the worst breed choices you have seen people make?
Asked by sciencechick - Mon Nov 17 17:23:29 2008 - - 15 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The most overlooked would be the dog's energy level, grooming needs and basic breed characteristics. It's appalling to me that people think they can keep a breed like a german shepherd or border collie in an apartment. Or think a dog like a lab is good with a half hour walk a day. My pet peeve is people who buy a gorgeous, long-haired breed (afghans come to mind!), then keep their hair cut short because they're too bloody lazy to groom the dog. Then there's those who are dismayed because their terriers dig and bark, their beagles bay, etc. Too many people in this world of instant gratification are lacking the common sense to research a breed before getting it - then when they find they can't groom, train or exercise it, the dog ends… [cont.]

How many people die in an average hospital in one day?
Q. I am going to be volunteering on Saturday nights in the ER at a fairly large hospital. For any ER doctors/nurses or hospital administrators, on *average*, how many people would you say die in a normal ER at one hospital in a single day? How about in the entire hospital (including failed operations and just really sick people)? I guess I just want to know what to expect - are there really several people dying every day (like on TV), or is it more like a handful of people every week?

A. Business is business. Figure out what you need to make in order to make a sufficient profit and stick to it. "Nice" should not be in a business vocabulary. "Friendly, good service, good product, timely", these are business words. People will always take what they can get. It's up to you to present your business in an attractive way and still make a profit. Figure out what your true investment is, decide on a price, and have the confidence to be firm about it. Find other reasons why people will want what you have,i.e. quality, style, exclusivity, speed, etc. Sell those points.

Philosophy and Theology once had a debate about the cause of evil in the world like hypothesizing whether it s a metaphysical nature (which competes with goodness) or because of the free will of humankind; simply free will vs. determinism. Many religious beliefs also state that it s because of a devil and his fault; uhh.. Hellooo, is it God s fault then for creating the devil?!

How do religious people like the secular humanitarian organizations like Rotary and the Lions Club?
Q. These are organizations dedicated to charity and volunteer work they do good stuff in communities all over the world and, unlike religious people, they do it without trying to trick vulnerable people into believing a bunch of contrived superstitious nonsense and joining some cult of irrational crackpots.

A. Rotary is not a secular humanist club. Many, if not most Rotarians have deep religious beliefs, are active in their respective churches and have the utmost respect for other believers. Every Rotary meeting I've been too, has always included a short prayer or benediction as part of the program. Rotary however, is a secular service organization and has both believers and non-believers. No particular faith is promoted or required and as I understand it, selling your business or religious beliefs to others at a Rotary event, is considered to be very bad taste and contrary to the open and accepting nature of the organization. Rotary is about meeting friends in your hometown and working together with them to help others, even those in far… [cont.]

How does spirituality help people understand the universe in which we live?
Q. I don t think it does at all; I think spirituality is really just a coping mechanism that people have invented and that is not based on any evidence or rational thought process. Spirituality is the sand in which people stick their heads like ostriches when the truth gets too hard for them to accept. But religious people (especially Catholics for some reason) keep telling me that science and spirituality are two methods of understanding the universe.
