Question: Why do communist countries always devolve into authoritarian dictatorships? There are endless examples of this, the USSR, China, North Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, etc. Why do they so quickly abandoned their idealistic goal of establishing a classless, stateless society based on common ownership of the means of production? Instead they make a society that's quite the opposite. Is it because that communism has some good ideas on paper, but it can't be implement on a large scale?

Answer: Why does the bear, etc, etc, in the woods ? Hey, bubbles, did you fall asleep at the beginning of the last century ?

Question: Could have Thatcher's "Excessive Individualism" be the reason there is Family breakdown in British society? With Margaret Thatcher and a lot of Thatcherites, could the strong belief in "Individualism" be the reason why there is large scale family breakdown in modern british society? The article suggests that Family break up, unprincipled advertising, much competition in education and income equality are the main contributing factors. As Thatcherites believe in "as little state regulation as possible", "competition" and encouraging "people to look out for their own objectives rather than looking for others to help them" be the reason why more kids nowadays are more "troubled and anxious"? Read this article from the BBC and discuss: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/7861762.stm

Question: Has anyone here escaped their society and fled to another culture? tell me about it.? whether you've left mainland europe or north america for Japan, India, Africa, Latin America, or another country in the developing world, tell me about it and your experience and why you decided to relocate! whether you left large scale North America for antique Europe, or old town europe for the high life in New York or Los Angeles. I want to know why, when, and how you relocated, and whether it was worth it. thanks

Answer: Hmmm....well I relocated from Scotland to California for a year. I was in 2nd year at university, and had been having a pretty rubbish year, so was a bit down and I heard about applications for an exchange year where you go abroad...so I decided to apply and was accepted. I don;t know why I picked California...I suppose it looks good and sounds good. I didn't really fit in, as at the time I was kind of 'alternative' and I went to Santa Barbara which was full of bleach blonde, tanned people who all kind of looked the same! I had a good year, and it helped me get back on track. Now I'm back in good old Blighty, but I travel to East Africa for work a few times a year, which really makes me grateful for everything that I have, and it has made me realise that the UK really is a good place to live!

Question: Why do liberals deny that Hitler was a socialist when he claimed to be himself? Seriously, can I have one liberal prove that he was not a socialist? ************************************************************************* Hitler, spoken to Otto Strasser, Berlin, May 21, 1930: I am a Socialist, and a very different kind of Socialist from your rich friend, Count Reventlow. . . . What you understand by Socialism is nothing more than Marxism "We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions" From his writings. In 1919-20 and also in 1921 I attended some of the bourgeois [capitalist] meetings. Invariably I had the same feeling towards these as towards the compulsory dose of castor oil in my boyhood days. . . . And so it is not surprising that the sane and unspoiled masses shun these ‘bourgeois mass meetings’ as the devil shuns holy water. And a little about his bio He championed the rights of workers, regarded capitalist society as brutal and unjust, and sought a third way between communism and the free market. In this regard, he and his associates greatly admired the strong steps taken by President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal to take large-scale economic decision-making out of private hands and put it into those of government planning agencies. His aim was to institute a brand of socialism that avoided the inefficiencies that plagued the Soviet variety, and many former communists found his program highly congenial. He deplored the selfish individualism he took to be endemic to modern Western society, and wanted to replace it with an ethic of self-sacrifice more quotes Why nationalize industry when you can nationalize the people? It is thus necessary that the individual should finally come to realize that his own ego is of no importance in comparison with the existence of the nation, that the position of the individual is conditioned solely by the interests of the nation as a whole. Society's needs come before the individual's needs. In relation to the political decontamination of our public life, the government will embark upon a systematic campaign to restore the nation’s moral and material health. The whole educational system, theater, film, literature, the press and broadcasting – all these will be used as a means to this end. National Socialism will use its own revolution for establishing a new world order. All propaganda must be so popular and on such an intellectual level, that even the most stupid of those toward whom it is directed will understand it... Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way around, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise. Boss, Hitler was an athiest...

Answer: I'm a conservative and Hitler was not a socialist, he was right wing! In Nazi Germany, private capitalist individuals owned the means of production, and they in turn were frequently controlled by the Nazi party and state. True socialism does not advocate such economic dictatorship -- it can only be democratic. Hitler's other political beliefs place him almost always on the far right. He advocated racism over racial tolerance, eugenics over freedom of reproduction, merit over equality, competition over cooperation, power politics and militarism over pacifism, dictatorship over democracy, capitalism over Marxism, realism over idealism, nationalism over internationalism, exclusiveness over inclusiveness, common sense over theory or science, pragmatism over principle, and even held friendly relations with the Church, even though he was an atheist.

Question: What happens if I know someone who is a drug dealer but they're a nice person? I know this guy who sells drugs on a large scale. He's nice, but really he's a dealer. Part of me wants to tell the cops about him to help Society and the neighborhood? Part of me would be on a guilt trip for ratting him out. If I get the law enforcement know about his whereabouts, what do they do? Would karma somehow find it's way back to me haha?

Answer: No bad karma would come your way, if anything you'd get some good karma. Have you ever known any real drug addicts? It ruins peoples lives, plus their children and families lives. They also steal, rob, kill to get money to pay the guy for the drugs. Also I'm not a crazy anti-drug person but chances are somewhere along the line a good number of people got murdered for the s*** he's selling. ie Mexican girls getting shot by the gangs that bring pot into the US, the Taliban killing US soldiers or random Afghan kids using weapons/bombs they paid for by selling opium/heroin, Colombian druglords killing/torturing peasants who won't grow cocaine, etc. I did a lot of drugs in high school,etc so I'm not really innocent either but the reality is- drugs are evil business. He may be a nice guy in some ways but he knows the risks and the reality of what he's doing. Just call the police and tell them whats going on- you can report anonymously which is what I recommend.

Question: What can we do to inspire change in people today? I tend to think the majority of the people in our society are so preoccupied with doing whatever it takes to keep their minds off of the real issues of the world and human race.Too busy eating, drinking & working themselves to death to conciously say, there are issues in this world that will affect my children, grandchildren and the future of the human race and earth we live on if I don't wake up and choose to change the way I live. Maybe they think that they are too small or insignificant to make a difference. Maybe the thought doesn't even cross their minds b/c they are too selfishly wrapped up into their own existence. Maybe they have never looked at it in a broad perspective, seeing the whole human race as a dormant being of the universe, non-productive and virtually non existent on the grand scheme of things due our destructive nature-we are destroying the planet we live on, killing each other, fighting over things that really don't matter in the end with no large scale plan in sight that will save us when all of our resources on earth are used. Why can't people put their brainpower together to be productive and work on advancing us forward technologically so we can be productive and start initiating serious plans of seeking other places to inhabit (and hopefully not destroy!) We need a goal as a human race to work toward that can provoke us to make that change to excite us and entice us to want to live better and create a better future for our offspring and the rest of the human race. Is it that we just don't see a better future? Is it that we have been reaching for these ultimate world goals that have set us up for disaster and failure? We've been trying to attain world peace yet it's unattainable unless another goal has been met first or another goal has been presented to inspire people to strive for world peace? What would the ultimate universal goal of humans be if we were able to obtain world peace? Maybe humans need a direction as a whole to move toward. What can we do with the universe that would inspire people to want to change?

Answer: show them the film RANG DE BASANTI a flim from INDIA thats got a nomination to Oscars this years.

Question: Why does American society glorify serial killers? What is America's obsession with people who kill on a large scale? Is middle class suburbia so restless? I have yet to see this kind of phenomenon anywhere else in the world. There are even people who consider them "cool."

Answer: Not so really. The tabloids in the UK are just as obsessed. To say nothing of our very own home grown species in Canada!! Perhaps it is interesting press because we cannot believe the inhumanity of one person...Kind of like the old fashioned Side-Show in the Carnival... Too much to comprehend! I would like to think of it as such, rather than the odd person(and I do mean odd) that seems to think it is a benchmark.

Question: How can a company's environmental/social impact be markettable? In today's free market society, companies can become extremely powerful and wealthy. But what do they do with that wealth? I'm curious if the influential, innovative nature of capitalism can or should be bent toward a social benefit on a large scale. Should we hold companies to a higher standard than just the lowest prices or the best product? Should we also assess them on what impact they have on society?

Answer: Use your PR depatrment or skills to get placement in periodicals or on the news so people are aware of your work for others. There are many organizations that only buy from socially concious companies. You can find them on the web. I think there is one that i read about in regarad to a Walmart article i was reading recently. These organizations are full of shoppers who literally vote their purse strings by only buying from companies who share their values.

Question: does society depend on religion to keep people in order? no doubt MORALITY is what keeps society running as smoothly as it is, no police force in world could prevent a million dissenters from going crazy and destroying a city or town if they so chose to, and most cities have more than a million people these days. the question is, where does morality come from? is it innate? if so, religion is not necessary, at least in a social harmony sense, because the majority of people would do good anyway. but if morality and a sense of ethics is LEARNED, something acquired through teachings like religion and history, then is it not imperitive to the stability of the entire world to keep the structures that dispense such information to a willing public (children) going as long as possible? you might call it brainwashing, but look at the bigger picture. even on yahoo answers atheists, who are generally free thinkers and unlikely to accept the established way just because it is the established way, argue more and create more conflicts than their pious counterparts. read the forums for a few days if you don't believe me! atheists rile people up. and while on a small scale this can prove encouraging and even revolutionary, on a large scale it equates to a large group of people unable to get along. so from a social harmony point of view, does religion keep people in check? and is that really such a bad thing?

Answer: No, you do not need religion to instill morals in a person. Religion can be (and is) used for some very immoral purposes (think of the spanish inquisition, crusades, and more recently Jihadists using religion as a means to do things that were and are immoral). I think of religion as a good tool for giving peace of mind for when bad things happen, or about what happens when a person dies. Do you really think if there was no religion people would be out in the streets killing and screwing?

Question: How can I make a lesbian relationship work with Christianity? alright so, I'm a lesbian. I've know about it for a few years how. I'm also a strong Christian. Have been my whole life. I found a girl that I like who is also a Christian. But we fight a lot. More than I did while I was in a straight relationship. It seems lots of stuff gets in the way and tears us apart. Could it be that God is telling me that this is wrong? If it's wrong, why would he make me this way?

Answer: Homosexuality is not wrong. And some people claim that the bible only mentions homosexual men, nothing about women, therefore it must be ok. But the truth is that those scriptures mentioning homosexuality were translated wrong. Go back to the original Greek and Hebrew texts and you'll see very different messages. Here's a website that sums it up very well, I recommend you read it, and pass it on to this girl if you can, though she probably won't bother to listen. http://www.hoperemains.webs.com/ Edit: Oh gosh joe o, minutes 2-4 of the clip from Prayers For Bobby makes me burst into tears every time!

Question: What is the difference between lesbian and bisexual? Im a little confused. I am a lesbian (single), but dont no wat bi means so im stuck!

Answer: Let's put it this way.. You're lesbian, so you would only date/have sex with girls. I'm bi, so I would date/have sex with guys and girls. That's the simple answer. I could give you the detailed one if you want?

Question: I want to write a lesbian love story. How do you start a love story? One based in France, where it's legal to get married to someone of the same sex. I want to base it off my own lesbian experiences, but don't know how to start. How does someone developed a love story?

Answer: Wow, that sounds really interesting. If you are basing it off of your own experiences, then you should start it however your love life began, you should have it being told as the person and begin it with just like them in their normal scene, or where you would be having most of the action happen. Have it start off really slow but leading into the ation quickly to pull the reader into the story automatically. Like she could be in her bedroom looking out her window waiting for her best friend to come over, or something. But i hope it goes well, and you come up with something you like. It sounds like a really good idea for a story.

Question: Why are lesbians and gays with a transsexual past are mostly not accepted in a gay/lesbian community? As a lesbian woman with transsexual past, it is my personal experience in Germany and other countries, that we are mostly not accepted as friends, lovers and/or partners. Why?

Answer: For transwomen, many lesbians see us as really being men because we did not experience growing up as a girl. We grew up with "male privilege" and therefore did not have the life experiences as a girl. Thus, we cannot be "real women". Many gays see us as guys that are trying to mutilate the male parts that they love. For transmen, some lesbians see them as traitors to all women. This is mainly the radical lesbians that tend to hate all males. Many gays view transmen as still being women that are guy want-to-bes. Within the LGBT group that I worship with, some of the women will not give me the time of day and some of the guys are visibly uncomfortable talking with me. Then there are others that are very accepting and supportive of me and other trans people. As Radgal said, we still have a long way to go on educating people.

Question: How do i tell my family i am lesbian without causing a fight? I am lesbian and only a couple of family members know i am lesbian. How dod i tell the rest without causing a fight?

Answer: If they're uber religious freaks then do the following 1. Walk into the house 2. Give them a walkie talkie 3. Tell them to turn on the walkie talkie 4. The another walkie talkie and get about 5 miles away 5. In a high pitched tone say "Haaai Guuuuuuys..." *Awkward silence for 2 minutes* I'm a lesbian! Bai!

Question: How to meet a lesbian in a not so lesbian community? I have a young firend who is about 14 years old and she is 100% lesbian. She has always been attracted to girls. the only problem is that she lives ina community were lesbians and bi's aren't popular. can you help my friend with some advice?

Answer: tell her to just pay attention. There are probably a lot more gay people than she thinks, they just aren't as out as in other communities. There are LGBT groups she can probably join, which are really helpful in finding other people who are definitely gay. And if you just remain open to friendship with anyone you'll eventually find one. we're not as rare as people think. And if she stays out to her friends, one of them might know someone. It's all about connections and paying attention to the people you know. She probably already knows another lesbian, they're just not out yet. It gets easier, you just gotta develope your skills GOOD LUCK!!! =)

Question: What is the point of being a butch lesbian and not changing into a straight man? I find these butch haircut ladies in lesbian bars annoying. If I had to date a manly girl, I would rather date a man and be straight girl. Why would these manly women stay in lesbian bars? Can't they change into man and live as straight men if they really are so interested in imitating men?

Answer: just because they dress or look "butch" doesn't mean they are not comfortable being woman... it just means they are more confident dressed like that...

Question: How should a 13 year old lesbian come out of the closet? I am 13 and I am obviously a lesbian. I have told a couple of socially challenged friends but I don't think that will cause word to get around? I want people to know without telling EVERYONE. And it still kind of freaks me out that people will know. I am butch and have recently gotten a mullet.

Answer: Who are you worried about telling? Your parents? Your peers? There's probably a group of people that bother you more than others. Focus on your strategy for telling that group. Who cares what other people think! You don't know this because you're only 13 but life is SHORT! You've got to live it in a way that makes YOU happy, not other people. The sooner you subscribe to that the happier your life is going to be! Be proud of who you are! : )

Question: What are some characteristics associated with lesbian women? How can you tell if someone is a lesbian? Do they act or talk in a distinct manner?

Answer: The only thing out there to compair with are stereotypes. And as we all know sometimes that can be misleading. Take each person individually. I know many women who are strong, assertive, agressive and built solidly, not petite. However on saturday night they throw on a dress, do up the make up and want to be paid some serious man attention. Likewise, I have met and known women who are the opposite of that last example. If it's not too awkward, simply ask the person in a serious and non-accusitory way, in private. And, unless they're ready for you to know, you might not get the answer you expected. When they want you to know, they'll make it known. I didn't find out my ex wife preferred women until after we were married with two kids. Go figgure.
