Would you expect a stranger on the street to give good advice to your semi-serious issue?
Then what the heck are you doing on here looking for real advice? Go see a professional, don't get advice from a 12 year old kid watching porn on his dad's computer.Why Do People Think This Site Will Yield Good Advice?
Considering you have asked no questions seeking advice or what you may need to know about particular issues you are in no position to ask such a stupid question nor add such childish comments. Get lost and thanks for the 2 points in making me so angry I just had to reply to such a question I do not normally do.Why Do People Think This Site Will Yield Good Advice?
While there are some idiots on here, there are actually people with the necessary skills to be able to advise correctly.
Its just difficult as a questioner to know who is telling the truth.
I am pharmacy dispenser, there are pharmacists who answer on here, doctors, nurses, plumbers, electricians, petrol heads, people with legal expertise etc.
We are all from all different walks of life, reading some of the medical questions I know whose opinion to trust and whose not, but it is difficult to know who is and isnt genuine in most other cases.
Its good to get a variety of opionions about things, though the 'am I pregnant' questions annoy me, as theres no way anyone on here can answer that, only doing a test can answer that. For some reason, seeing that question at least 4 or 5 times a week drives me nuts.
Why do you have to put a capital letter infront of every word in the title?
Why not?
That's depend on what problems that they have.
Luke 9.25,55-56,60
Can a doctor feed a hungry ghost?
When they are not sick?
But hungry?
Luke 4.23
What do you think?
why are you asking this question if you believe you wont receive any good answers? oh the irony of your question
Are you writing a book or something? If you don't like this site you could always stay off of it. I'm sure there are enough people here that no one would miss you. If you are writing a book, try doing your research on a site you prefer more than you do this one.
Just because you don't seem to really need any advice or compassion doesn't mean others don't.
Don't go away mad, just go away.
I wonder why you started each word with a capital?
There are thousands of chat sites on the net, perhaps you should just consider this one of them. No one has to take the advise if they don't want to.
I have actually gotten some very good advice from strangers in the street, you gotta know how to spot which strangers are gonna know what you need to know... and keep an open mind.
As for 12 year old kids watching porn on their dads computer, you'd be amazed at what they can teach you.
while we adults are busy with the struggles of life, they have all the time in the world to keep up on all the latest technology.
I don't know how old he was but someone on here told me how to make a Win89 twain scanner work on XP... something all the ';experts'; said was impossible.. ';buy a new one they're cheap. (give china more of your hard earned money)';
Because the advice I need, is about searching family history.
I am not going to a professional! they charge too much
Sometimes its good to get various ppls opinions.
Then again I would never post anything serious on here, I'll leave that for my friends and family!
Why are you on here then? Didn't get an answer you wanted? It's not the professional answer people want, it's knowing someone has had the same experiance and can understand. Go somehwere else and stop whining
well I don't think people are asking any real serious questions on here..if they are I guess I haven't seen them. (and I hope people are basing the answers on here for a real important dicision..)
but what I though this place was good for was just to get some friendly advice from somebody who might know something about a situation or something that you may not have any idea about or even know anybody who knows something about what you need advice on
(yes that was confusing i know..hopefully you kind of understand what i was saying)
I guess what i'm trying to say is I hope people aren't taking everything on here so dead seriously and letting it totally influence their life....but it is a pretty neat place just to hear about different experiences and stuff
Some people cannot aford professional advice, on here people can talk freely, even without people knowing who they are.
Well you seemed to think it was a good idea, seeing as you've already asked a question:
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/ind鈥?/a>
Here's some good advice- you don't HAVE to use capitals for every word in your question title.
There you go, you actually learnt something useful.

I need some advice, from teachers and reg people?
I wrote a poem:
I think everyone would hear me better if I didn't talk at all,
instead of moans and groans of pain just hear the tear drops fall.
Perhaps if I said nothinig, they'd hear my voice more clearly,
if there were no word to be heard, they'd listen more then merely.
Ear shattering silence, echoing voice so meager,
no matter how quiet, they'll never hear me-so why am I so eager?
My words don't mean a thing, not matter what I don't say,
I don't care how large the cost, for silence I will pay.
I want to yell, I want to scream, I want to let them know,
but I can't find my voice, I wish it'd tell me where to go.
Silence is so loud, when there's nothing there to hear,
serenity and peace, pounding in my ear.
Silence isn't simple, a very complex case,
just keep running to catch up, a marathon sprinter's pace.
Seal your mouth, bite your tongue, keep it very still,
don't want the volcano to explode, a vocabulary spill.I need some advice, from teachers and reg people?
I think it's a nice poem.
If you handed it in to me (I teach ninth-grade English) I would ask to talk to you to be sure you're okay. Everyone gets a little depressed sometimes or feels misunderstood; I'd just want to find out if there was anything more serious you wanted help with.
I'd also be curious about why you feel that you're ';Shattered.'; My nickname, hoptoad, is because Pippi Longstocking was my first literary heroine, and her father's pirate ship was named the Hoptoad. See, that tells you something about me--what does ';Shattered'; tell me about you?
I'd also want to tell you about opportunities at my school for people who like to write--literary magazine, creative writing class, contest to enter, etc.
PS Teacher are ';reg people,'; too--really!I need some advice, from teachers and reg people?
It would depend on what your behavior is like in class. I can certainly remember life as a 13yr old and it isn't easy. Emotionally it can be devastating sometimes.
I wouldn't judge a student who wrote this poem and handed it in to me, but I might keep my eye out to make sure I wasn't seeing any abnormal or different behaviors from this student in class that would signal a red flag.
That's very good writing esp. for someone your age. Story of my life, I can relate to that, I have a low voice and nobody can hear me. When I was a kid I would come home in tears sometimes, I would be so frustrated with trying to be heard.
Word of advice, don't show it to just any teacher, or read it in front of a class. My little sister wrote one poem like that when she was your age and she was thrown in the ';behaviorally challenged'; class. (She got back out of course, but it was an ordeal) They are hyper-sensitive about kids expressing themselves sometimes. Of course if you are seriously depressed or suicidal than you can talk to a counselor, but everybody gets down and needs to express themselves.
Here is somewhere where you can share poetry.
http://www.thepoetsanctuary.net/
From a teacher - excellent poem! Can you talk to the teacher you want to show this to? Do you trust him/her? Some teachers will respect your privacy and not share your work with the class unless you want them to. This poem is yours and it's your choice to share it or not. If you decide not to share the poem, please keep it; you may want to share it at a later date. Good luck and jkeep writing!

Any tips and advice for younger people ?
Hello
What advice or insights about life would like to share with younger people ?
A nice one I picked up from when I volunteered was :
One lade told me she regrets not enjoying her beauty more while she was young . Any tips and advice for younger people ?
You regret the things you didn't do more than the things you do.
I totally agree about enjoying your sleep before you have kids.
Be nice to your parents. They aren't around forever, and they're not the idiots you think they are when you're a teenager.
Pick up the daily exercise habit now. It's easy if you stick with it, hard to ever get back to it by the time you get to middle age, and important for your health and happiness throughout life.
Any adventures you want to take, or travel? Do it now, before you have kids.
It's a lot easier to back out of a marriage than to divorce.
Vote. It gives you a right to complain about the guy you voted against when he screws things up.
Be nice to each other. The world would be a better place if more people followed that one rule. Any tips and advice for younger people ?
I would tell young people to know that they are not a person who has a soul, but a soul that happens to have a body.
I would tell them to know that they should not forget to nurture themselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Eat well, sleep well, be kind to yourself, avoid abusive people, and seek out the spiritual by giving of yourself.
I would assure them that, despite the sorrow and hardships, life is astoundingly beautiful. It really is.
I would advise them to look past the superficial and seek out substance in others: beautiful gifts come in homely packages.

I am not sure of your age but, I will tell you that when you are young you want to grow up but, when you grow up you wish you were young again. Time flies by, ask anyone that is older. I say spend time With your grandparents if you have them. They are a wonderful source of knowledge. I do not know what i would have done without mine. Also, be patient with people because there will be times in life that you want others to be patient with you. Enjoy the little things in life that are free, like friends family and time spent with them. Do not waste your young years getting drunk and making unwise decisions. You will have time for that the rest of your life. Think before you react it can make a world of difference. Thanks for asking i think that was a wise question.
well i would say be proud of who you are and what you are and don't try and be what others want you to be. be proud of what you got cause no matter how little you think you have you have more than others...no matter how bad you think your parents are there is some with worse..be your own person and make the right decisions. stick to you word and say the truth and that is one thing that others will remember you for..as being a person of your word and a person they can trust. and yes lots are ashamed of the way they look..its how you feel about yourself that's how others see you..learn as much as you can..and always use a condom...make no babies before its time.
take advantage of ur school life as all thru u have the right to be in full time education but when it comes to uni u have to compete with loads of other people so take advantage wile u can lol erm.
respect yourself
parents arnt always rite but they try their best lol and in the end ur in their house uve got to do what they say till u leave.
I suggest that all young people get a good education or good solid training in a area that will provide them and their future families with a means to contribute to society.
To enjoy the sleep they get before they have children.

What advice would you give a group of people starting a business?
Formulate your business plan early and research financials! Too many entrepreneurs dont project financials then they end up flying by the seat of their pants for the next 2 years. This is likely a big investment. You would hire a professional to do your taxes, so hire a professional to prepare your business plan!What advice would you give a group of people starting a business?
Have a concrete business plan ready, which should include:
- What exactly do you intend to do?
- Why, only this business, benefits to you, benefits to your users, benefits to society and country
- Why you should do this business, your strengths, level of your capabilities, experience in this field
- What are the threats, how easily can it be copied by the big companies
- How many other companies in or outside your country have already tried this business and what were the consequences, did they succeed if yes why and if they fail why. do you have same capabilities or do you know how to avoid mistakes done by them
- What the revenue projections and profitability pattern expected, what are the expenditure heads
- Would the economy of scale work in your business
- How scalable the business is and upto what extent this business can generate profitable returns to you and what is the maximum limit.
- Would the economical and political system support your business in long run, how will effect the government priorities in your country
- What the capex plans, how will you fund the business
- Diversification options after a certain level or Exit opportunities,.
Once you draft all of this, you will have clarity where you are entering and how to take it forward and in what manner and phases. You would know which all areas are there to be improved.
Good luck.

You will have time for that the rest of your life. Think before you react it can make a world of difference. Thanks for asking i think that was a wise question.
well i would say be proud of who you are and what you are and don't try and be what others want you to be. be proud of what you got cause no matter how little you think you have you have more than others...no matter how bad you think your parents are there is some with worse..be your own person and make the right decisions. stick to you word and say the truth and that is one thing that others will remember you for..as being a person of your word and a person they can trust. and yes lots are ashamed of the way they look..its how you feel about yourself that's how others see you..learn as much as you can..and always use a condom...make no babies before its time.
take advantage of ur school life as all thru u have the right to be in full time education but when it comes to uni u have to compete with loads of other people so take advantage wile u can lol erm.
respect yourself
parents arnt always rite but they try their best lol and in the end ur in their house uve got to do what they say till u leave.
I suggest that all young people get a good education or good solid training in a area that will provide them and their future families with a means to contribute to society.
To enjoy the sleep they get before they have children.
It is what it is....
How do you deal with dumb people? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
I have had a few dumb co-workers who think--they are everything and better than you in every ways.
Most of the time, I just ignore them because I know they are so dumb. Sometimes, they are really get on my last nerve and I want to say the truth to them like--';I have more experiences and much more education than you';.How do you deal with dumb people? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
This is the best advice someone once told me; ';If you have any problems with other people, the problem is you.';
What makes you think that they are dumb? Do they exhibit any stupidity? Why do you think that education or experience equals intelligence?
Education only offers knowledge. It can easily be taught and then just as easily forgotten. All you need to do to graduate is remember that knowledge for just long enough so that you pass your final exams. To think that experience and education puts you higher than *anyone* is very conceited. Not to mention self centered and weak.
You are definitely the problem here, not your co-workers.How do you deal with dumb people? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
Being the educated person that you are; reserve your comments; you don't have to prove anything to anyone; do your work and don't waste another drop of energy on the system that got them there; consider the source; they're ignorant, they know it and you're NOT!
well here in good old blighty he take them outside and beat f*ck out of them
i would tell tehm that way instead of me ignoring them it would be a reciprocal thing so i wouldnt have to deal with them anymore try it haha it works
Ignore them. Rise above it. You are better than they are. The world is full of dumb people, (just look at some of the questions and answers on this site). Unfortunately the world is becoming ever more ';dumbed down';. It appears that the most dumbed down are getting promoted. One day our day will come! Don't stoop down to their level!
I know a few people like that. I just keep it to myself, but once I did let go and told a co-worker that they were a legend in their own mind and left it at that. He didn't speak to me for weeks, which is exactly what I was hoping for.
i would just ignore them! you know their dumb and everyone around them does so there is no point in saying to their face! be the bigger person!
just ignore them and keep things civil. you don't want to cause problems with your co-workers.
you just gotta plan out a good comeback. usually the best are right off the top of your head, but it never hurts to be prepared. if you tell them to eat a bag of *****, they won't know how to come back at that.
I am in the same situation as you and what is even worse was the people at my job use to be my best friends but not anymore. Furthermore, I am no longer their friend because they were quite dumb i.e. they drink too much and just talk about people, which was not what I was about.
Anyways, just ignore them and keep doing what your doing i.e. focus on your job and what you want to do in life i.e. your education. In addition to that, if they do not leave then do something back that annoys them. For example, one of my ex-friends decide to invite someone instead of me to a get together she was having and instead of being mad, I just ignored them and laugh.
Laugh at them.
They don't even deserve as much as hate.
aaahhhh well iff there were no dumb people.. then how could we compare?? anyway, how to deal with dummies:
it depends in the problem... if they are dumb and bullheaded and like to argue, which is what i am assuming considering what you said, ';they are everything and better...'; this what i would do. lets say they have a ';solution'; to a problem which is wrong- give them your solution and if they argue just ask them politely, ';and why makes you think that is correct? please explain to me.'; if they cant, then you win, if they can then maybe you are the dumb one. if what i have written out is not the sam situation you are dealing with maybe you are just overly irritable. good luck and be patient
judgeing people is wrong cos you think you are better and no one is better than no one else.
Do you realy want to be the one eyed king of the blind?
When you are underestimated the advantage will always be yours.
Allow them to walk in to walls, don't tell them to mind their head, afterall unless it is your business, who cares if you get paid.
Watching them fall on their faces is payment enough for their stupiderty.
Manouver yourself in to a better position with your boss's, let them see how you can easily sort out the mess that the stupid can't fix.
If it is your boss who is the stupid one, there are always people higher up.
Stupiderty is everywhere, save your intelligent conversation for your cat.
When you get tired of explaining just walk away. Or say ';your right.'; and walk away.
Just do the big JIT just ignore them. walk pass them like they are not thereexpensive makeup

The only reason people give advice is to feel superior to other people, they don't give a damn about you?
Ain't no such thing as unconditional love?The only reason people give advice is to feel superior to other people, they don't give a damn about you?
Good observation,....truthfull, honest, and well taken,....put a *STAR* by your name! However, notice the skepticism in most of the answers. Perhaps you are too bluntly truthful and too real for the shallow, self serving, majority When a hidden, overlooked, hard, real truth, fact, or reality, no one really wishes to face emerges....the horse sh*t and denial starts. It's almost reminicent of our governments...isn't it?The only reason people give advice is to feel superior to other people, they don't give a damn about you?
I see your point, then again what does one expect from the Inter-net but a remote flaky kind care. That's the reason why people need the real world, not a virtual reality.
It just does not feel ... real. Perhaps it is the lack of details -- realism, or perhaps it is my biased observation...
hm is that a question? or is that statement? If that is a question then my answer would be people come seeking for advices and that is generally when you get them. If you do not seek for them then you don't have to listen to them. Yes!
by the way ask a mother what is unconditional love maybe she can explain to you better dear.
---------------------
If someone came to me for advice I do not feel superior infact I feel the great responsibility of answering to someone else's questions and many a time I ask myself if I have the ability to give the best possible solution......
If you feel superior then I think you need to grow up !
Some but not all. My mother in law gives advice even when no one asks her.
I only give an advice that I myself would follow in similar circumstances. It has to do something with: what goes around comes around. Karma you know. You don't want to incurr the wrong sort.
Do you not have caring parents? I hope you do.
And if so, I sincerely hope you would take a bit of time and really listen to them. Not necessary at what they have to say, but listen for what motives they have.
I give advice here to kill time when work is slow. I don't feel superior doing it, unless someone asks a really really idiotic question then you really can't help it. I give advice to people I know because I want to help them out if I can, and I give advice at work because I'd rather someone do it right than me having to go over their work and fix it. I think human nature gives us enough unconditional love for just a select few. It exists, but it is very reserved.

So whats your problem, do you feel guilty for all your answers, etc., or are you just trying to get a rise out of people.
Unconditional love? A perfect example is that of the love that a dog has for its master or mistress.
Is this a question???
I fear you are wrong in your assumptions. I answer questions because people have asked. True, I don't know any of these people, but I don't feel superior to them. Why do people climb mountains? Because they're there. Why do I answer questions? Because they're there.

I am a teacher. Daily I have to advice my students. I don't feel superior. I do it according to them.
i don't believe that...i have read some questions from people that really touched me..and i tried to help them. it doesn't make me feel superior at all..it is a sharing of knowledge...
some people's questions are sad...they obviously need help and i try to give it to them...even with some personal messages not on here....some people are really reaching out here..
The most common mistake in the world is to generalize a group of people that share a common thing. The fact of the matter is that the world consists of amazingly unique individuals, you just need to explore the world more. Some people give advice to others so that others don't go through the same things they went through. Some people give advice to others, because it is their spiritual duty to fight the evils of ignorance in the world by spreading wisdom. Some people give advice to others to make money, so that they can make a living. Some people give advice to others to make friends. Some people give advice to others, because they think they are giving advice to someone special, who will one day have influence over a large number of people, or already does: Aristotle being the personal tutor of Alexander ';the Great';.
i already feel superior, i dont need to give advice to feel that way.
and sometimes people give advice just because they are bored.
What a sad thing to say, I am not so insecure that I feel superior because I can answer a question, just happens to be something I know. And there is such a thing as unconditional love, my mother had an abundance of unconditional love. Lighten up!
Glean the pearls no matter where they come from. Anothers motivation doesn't lessen the gain one could derive. I enjoy engaging my betters, for if done with finesse I walk away with much more than I came with. Love and advice seldom agree, they're a poor fit. Separate each to their own. Let someone elses vanity be your opportunity, listen coolly while they impart; it's amazing what people will just give away when trying to make someone else feel something! It works very well for me, I'm always willing to listen to advice!
neither one of your statements is a question.
The house of cards generally blows away when you accept exceptions to the universal clause.
I have news for you// I do care. Why would I only give answers to someone who asks serious questions. I don't respond to the real silly questions from people who really don't want a serious answer. It is a complete waste of my time.
Wow! You're really cynical, aren't you?
that's life man, advice is asked by someone seeking it, someone provides it, their are two actors in the situation, the conclusion is that stated above.
According to your statements logic, YOU are giving advise, so why should we care?
I am as much as a pessimestic skeptic as anyone yet I think your statements [with question marks] are 88% wrong. Sure 12% or more really don't give a she it %26amp; need to 'feel superior' but the reality is, I already 'feel' superior to 88% [whether I am or not]! It's easy to NOT care, it's part of our survival mechanism, we've got other things to do %26amp; the degree of care is probably portionate to the amount interaction. You are my brother/sister %26amp; you are loved whether you believe it or not, whether we show it or not. It's sad that we don't demonstrate our care better but this type of forum is proof that we're making progress! I relish the opportunity to invite you to shut down your pity party %26amp; finally point out that if love isn't 'unconditional', it isn't love!

I want to be a model... is there any contacts or advice people can give me?
Watch out for scams. Never pay for anything! Legit agents/companies will pay for pictures and other things for you.. you should be the one getting paid! You will run into so many companies that tell you ';purchase these pictures so we can make a book for you and send you on shoots'; its lies. I don't know how many people I've known from high school that did this and 10 years later none of them ever had a modeling job or made any money from it..they lost money! If you can't find an agent I would just suggest sending some pictures to top model scouts and companies. Usually if you live in a big city such as NY or LA you will find it to be a little easier to break into the business. In other states you will find that for most of your work *if you get any* that you will have to travel.I want to be a model... is there any contacts or advice people can give me?
get an agent, otherwise people will try to scam you.I want to be a model... is there any contacts or advice people can give me?
the web
I've never been a model. But I would say get a professional portfolio of pictures taken. Distribute those to reputable modeling agencies. Dont ever pay anyone to see you for an interview...real agencies only get paid if they find you some modeling work. Be very careful before you sign any contract. If you are unsure or under 18...have a parent or respected adult help you.
check out barbrizon modeling.. they are a good agency
do wat u wanna do and dont give up!!
mabey you should post a picture of yourself like a model shot and then put it on myspace..then a agent or something will come and say shes pretty ill hire her
Well it depends how old you are... If you are young at least 11 you can go into the modeling buisness...If you are older I dobut you have chances of getting in, its sort of like the olypics, you must be training when your very young. Also it must be easy for you to loose weight. Modeling wouldnt be my first choise as an aoocupation..... You know why? Well because, they sort of scare me.. On behind the scenes %26amp; stuff you see their ribs and bones, and that is ill. And I've heard about this one model who was so skinny, she ate %26amp; ate during Thanksgiving and she ripped open her stomach...This makes me woozy just thinking about it. But your dreams are your dreams! I can't change that. But I do care, and I think you should say no.

People who give out advice are those who really need to learn it themselves?
I find that when I advise people of something, something rings true in me, but is not yet a part of me.. I don't necessarily understand truly what advice I dish out, and need to slowly understand it. Anyone else know this or think so too?
Also, i know an advice giver who never takes their own advice..
Any advice or opinion ;)? :PPeople who give out advice are those who really need to learn it themselves?
so what, exactly, is the advice you are giving here???
Another piece of bollox is....' people who can.... DO!!! Those who can't .... TEACH!'... Ditto...'people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw f'cking stones!!!!'
You learn something every day, don't you?? Thanks for teaching me F'CK ALL!!!!People who give out advice are those who really need to learn it themselves?
When I feel the most healthy, I do not give advise. I really dont know what is best for someone else....I do know what my own experience has been and I try to share that. I dont like people to give me unsolicited advise because they dont know what is BEST for me. When I hear things like..';you should have..or should not have';, the hair on the back of my neck stands up. I DID what I did based on the information I had at the time so whatever I did was exactly the thing I ';should have done';. I get to live with the consequences of my choices, just as everyone else does. I also want to vomit when I hear people say to someone else..';you shouldn't feel that way';. Well you know what??? I DO feel that way and it is totally OK to feel the way I do. Again, my responsibility is to realize that feelings are NOT FACTS and no matter what I'm feeling, they pass.
I agree that I will learn from my own sharing of experience.
Happy New Year.
I think this is true sometimes, but not all of the time. One of my social work professors told my class that many people who are clinical social workers, are battling a mental disorder themselves.
I often try to live up to the advice that I give. There are some things you learn through experience, however, and many times I find that people do not really follow the advice because they have not learned it, as I did, from experience. After they experience it for themselves, they often tell me that I was right. At that point I say not to take it too hard, they will live through it just as I did, and may be better for it.
Sometimes the advice we give out is the advice we see as best fit that we haven't been able to take on yet, completely, for one reason or another(laziness, obstacles, lengthy project, etc). So I definitely think its true.
However, don't assume that all people who give out advice are like this. That would be a fallacy to assume ALL people are like this.
I also agree, which is why I pretty much don't actively seek personal advice from people I don't know personally. Anybody could just make something up off the top of their head that sounds good or correct, but at the same time have no personal experience or insight whatsoever in what they are talking about. People just love to give advice like that, especially online (we're all guilty). Instead I usually stick with asking questions not so much about life but about sports, music, politics and such. However, if I do come across what appears to be good advice I may take it.
Advice is from people who have had experience of a situation and opinion is only that an opinion, whether advise is taken , understood and acted upon is down to the persons own situation and ability to grasp the significance of it, people always seek advise but rarely heed it. Human nature is that way it seems. When seeking advice we are hoping that the decision will be made in the answers but some advise we can clearly see is false or poor, and given from people who don't have the experiences to have seen the situation from start to its conclusion.
The older I get, I gain more experience of life issues and for me it seems I should have done something differently or listened a bit more, ultimately we must make our own decisions and suffer the consequences with each and everyone of them, trivial or life changing, its a leap into the unknown, but hey thats just my opinion!!
We all have lessons to learn, we all do wrong and nobody is perfect. Usually knowledge is gained from experience so if someone is giving advice they recognize it as part of their liefs lessons that's why they have some info on it. Don't analyze too much just get through your own red tape. I cant say an advice giver is one who never takes it. Take Mum for instance, a wise lady who practices what she preaches. The advice I give is how I live. This is what life has taught me.
I think you're right. Many times if you look at the people who are the finger pointers (like some politicians, for example) blowing about how wrong something is, or what someone has done, etc. you'll find out that they are big time offenders in the same thing they're yelling about. And giving advice can be that way .....we all just need to pay attention to what we are advising and ask ourselves if we are living right too.
Also, i know an advice giver who never takes their own advice..
Any advice or opinion ;)? :PPeople who give out advice are those who really need to learn it themselves?
so what, exactly, is the advice you are giving here???
Another piece of bollox is....' people who can.... DO!!! Those who can't .... TEACH!'... Ditto...'people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw f'cking stones!!!!'
You learn something every day, don't you?? Thanks for teaching me F'CK ALL!!!!People who give out advice are those who really need to learn it themselves?
When I feel the most healthy, I do not give advise. I really dont know what is best for someone else....I do know what my own experience has been and I try to share that. I dont like people to give me unsolicited advise because they dont know what is BEST for me. When I hear things like..';you should have..or should not have';, the hair on the back of my neck stands up. I DID what I did based on the information I had at the time so whatever I did was exactly the thing I ';should have done';. I get to live with the consequences of my choices, just as everyone else does. I also want to vomit when I hear people say to someone else..';you shouldn't feel that way';. Well you know what??? I DO feel that way and it is totally OK to feel the way I do. Again, my responsibility is to realize that feelings are NOT FACTS and no matter what I'm feeling, they pass.
I agree that I will learn from my own sharing of experience.
Happy New Year.
I think this is true sometimes, but not all of the time. One of my social work professors told my class that many people who are clinical social workers, are battling a mental disorder themselves.
I often try to live up to the advice that I give. There are some things you learn through experience, however, and many times I find that people do not really follow the advice because they have not learned it, as I did, from experience. After they experience it for themselves, they often tell me that I was right. At that point I say not to take it too hard, they will live through it just as I did, and may be better for it.
Sometimes the advice we give out is the advice we see as best fit that we haven't been able to take on yet, completely, for one reason or another(laziness, obstacles, lengthy project, etc). So I definitely think its true.
However, don't assume that all people who give out advice are like this. That would be a fallacy to assume ALL people are like this.
I also agree, which is why I pretty much don't actively seek personal advice from people I don't know personally. Anybody could just make something up off the top of their head that sounds good or correct, but at the same time have no personal experience or insight whatsoever in what they are talking about. People just love to give advice like that, especially online (we're all guilty). Instead I usually stick with asking questions not so much about life but about sports, music, politics and such. However, if I do come across what appears to be good advice I may take it.
Advice is from people who have had experience of a situation and opinion is only that an opinion, whether advise is taken , understood and acted upon is down to the persons own situation and ability to grasp the significance of it, people always seek advise but rarely heed it. Human nature is that way it seems. When seeking advice we are hoping that the decision will be made in the answers but some advise we can clearly see is false or poor, and given from people who don't have the experiences to have seen the situation from start to its conclusion.
The older I get, I gain more experience of life issues and for me it seems I should have done something differently or listened a bit more, ultimately we must make our own decisions and suffer the consequences with each and everyone of them, trivial or life changing, its a leap into the unknown, but hey thats just my opinion!!
We all have lessons to learn, we all do wrong and nobody is perfect. Usually knowledge is gained from experience so if someone is giving advice they recognize it as part of their liefs lessons that's why they have some info on it. Don't analyze too much just get through your own red tape. I cant say an advice giver is one who never takes it. Take Mum for instance, a wise lady who practices what she preaches. The advice I give is how I live. This is what life has taught me.

Why are the least successful people the most generous with their advice and the successful people ...?
... stingy with their advice?
I receive a plethora of advice (whether it be career, financial, or even romantic advice) from people who I do not view as successful; they give me unsolicited advice constantly and this advice is rarely, if ever, useful and NEVER sought by me. However, whenever I seek advice from people I perceive as successful, they either refuse to give me their advice or claim that they do not have any. Why do you think this is? Are the successful simply protective of their secrets? Do they simply not have any secrets? Perhaps their success can be attributed largely to birthright and/or luck?Why are the least successful people the most generous with their advice and the successful people ...?
Because people that are smart enough to succeed are smart enough to know that we would like others to learn from our mistakes but we know that the only way we learned was through our own.Why are the least successful people the most generous with their advice and the successful people ...?
They do not want the responsibility that comes with giving the advice, i.e. they do not want you you coming back every time you need advice.
Or they indeed do not know how to help you.
Having rich parents definitely helps, via better education and proper role models. Luck does not matter so much though; if you actively work toward better life, you will get there - just look at our president.
So basically the advice is:
- Get education: good grades %26amp; SAT make you eligible for college scholarship and work-study position.
- Once in college pick a major that (a) leads to a stable career and (b) that you do not hate.
- Be nice to people and make useful friends. No matter how ingenious you are, it is still people who will offer you a job and decide on your raises.
- Do an honest job. Cheats and shortcuts have a curious way of coming back to haunt you.

What advice would you give a group of people starting a business?
know all the tax breaks possible and keep your costs low. make sure you have a good location picked out and adjust your prices as you continue to grow. ask people for comments and always try to get feedback, make sure all decisions that are made are not all one sided and be open minded.

Hi There - I've just launched a new website where you can buy and download business mailing lists online from $55 for ten postcodes.
MLM can be difficult to find lists for, as your response and conversion rate is generally low, and to purchase targetted data is rather expensive ($300-$600 per 1,000 records).
Mailing Lists Online will let you start in a particular geographical area, so you can tailor and segment your campaigns and you get Business Name, Address, Phone AND Fax Numbers included for unlimited re-use.
The good things about B2B lists for MLM is that they are business owners you are targetting who are obviously interested in opportunities.

Why is it I give great advice to people when it comes to asking people out and I find it so hard myself?
I'm really good at helping people when it comes to relationships, what to do when you want to ask someone out, but when I want to ask someone out, I find it almost impossibleWhy is it I give great advice to people when it comes to asking people out and I find it so hard myself?
Love is something that you have to go out on a limb for. Asking a girl out I know can be so tough because of the rejection, especially if you like the girl. But it's easier to give advice to other people because it's not your heart that gets broken if it doesn't work out, it's theirs. My advice to you, is to heed your own advice.Why is it I give great advice to people when it comes to asking people out and I find it so hard myself?
its normal. Most people give really good advice but suck at it when it comes to them. I find it really easy to ask some one out, but when it comes to fighting about something with someone i just forget about it, and it bothers me, but i just don't argue. What is the point? I wanna but its dumb.
But anyways got off topic, its normal, most people just can't exactly do what they say.

Any advice on how to stop my dog from barking when people are entering our house and yard?
We live on a corner lot ; even if she's in the house she barks maddly when people pass through the yard. She barks at my teen age sons friend when they come in. They are too busy(sarc.) to get to know her and some are afraid. (she's never done anything but bark). As I type this she is on the bed grunting and growling as the neighbourhood children pass through on their way home from school.
How do I get her to ignore people being here that don't want to deal with her?
2yr. old , rescued 2 mths ago. doberman/ger. shepard.
I have tryed having her lay down and stay and feed her treats. This works to a degree,but when boys come or go it's a big ruckouse(sp?) Should I just stick with that? Any other ideas?Any advice on how to stop my dog from barking when people are entering our house and yard?
It will not be easy, and it is not natural for this dog mix. At the same time, the dog is already formed in its ways (notice I did not say set) and mostly an adult. This makes it tougher, but still possible. The key is to establish a ';No bark'; command. This could be ';no bark';, ';no mouth';, ';hush';, ';calm down'; or any other phrase that is natural. What you do is this:
1) Anticipate a time when there will likely be people going by outside. You said the kids usually do it after school, so then is good. Be ready with treats and a squirt bottle
2) The first time your dog barks, shut its moth with your hand and firmly say ';No bark'; (or whatever phrase you chose). You must be firm and forceful, but not mean
3) If the dog stops, treat her. Praise the heck out of her and make her feel like she won the lottery. If she keeps it up, squirt her with the bottle and repeat the ';No bark'; process (mouth shut and command)
4) Repeat this process as much as possible, making sure to be consistent. If your dog ignores you regularly, shut it in a bathroom or other area for a time out. If it barks in there shoot it with the water and close the door back.
5) If this time out does not work, next time it barks after the command startle it with a ';nip';. Pinch it quickly behind the neck and make a loud unusual noise. This will startle your dog and it should stop barking. Assuming it does, treat and praise.
Soon your dog should start learning the no bark command. This is not fool proof, there are times it will bark. But this will help establish a way to get them to stop. They also think they are doing right by barking, sounding the alarm so-to-speak. This will train them that this is actually not desired. If all else fails, you can try the collar that sprays citronella. Please DO NOT get the shock collar. This is so cruel, as it shocks the for doing something that is only natural. It will confuse them, and really is mean. The spray collar works in a similar manner, but instead of shocking it startles them with a citronella smell. They do not like it, and apparently helps curb barking. I have not used one, but hear they work well. Good luck.Any advice on how to stop my dog from barking when people are entering our house and yard?
if you show it a spray gun with water and tell her to stop and she doesn't just give him a little spray and she will stop
Tell people to ignore your dog , no petting , no talking to the dog , no eye contact .
You should do the same thing .
It works !!
All the dog wants to do is get to know the person better that comes into your house , all he will do is sniff and after a while they lose intrest in the person .
I tried it , and it works .
TELL IT TO SHUTUP!!! LOL!!!!
this mix are meant to be guard dogs, but you can put her on a leash every time she barks just give her a little 'pop' with the leash but don't yank so hard that you lift her off her feet. Just as long as you can distract her she won't bark. This sounds like her habit because she's bored.
Firm tap on the nose when she barks and say ';Be quiet'; or something but do it the same each time.
You adopted a breed mix, both of which are bred for GUARDING..Telling her that she can't perform her function, bred in for many generations, will be very frustrating for her..You may be able to curb the action a bit, by getting her out and socialized..a LOT..Otherwise, even if you do get her to quiet down, she will remain alert and really desire to do her job..
Get her out and about often, try to get the boys to have contact with her..You might even make it mandatory for them to give her attention when they come in.(keep a bag of treats at the door)
If you enrol in obedience classes, she will have more contact with people and dogs, and learn how to respond to you..even if distracted by others..
there is probably no way. if she was rescued maybe people have been mean to her in the past. she will not forget what people have done to her. now she has gotten to know you and knows you will not hurt her but she doesnt know that about the people in your neighborhood. she is doing that to protect herself and your family. because she probably thinks that if she growls and barks people will be scared of her and not come up to her and hurt her. hope that helps. it could also be just the way she is.
you cant stop her barking its instinct but you can teach her to stop on command but not stop forever kneel down face to... snout hold her head and say no or other words you use that mean no tell her to sit stay and open the door if that doesnt work youll just have to live with it its normal for dogs to bark and strangers especially if its a particualr breed mine is german sheppard so he always barks you cant teach a dog to stop barking its like a parent teaching a kid to move only on command
This is a pretty simple fix, youll just have to put the effort in. First you need to have a leash handy at all times (this is a pain I know, but this is really what you need to do) Once the dog starts to get going (at the first sign do not let her get all the way riled up) put the leash on her and put her by your side. I find it works best if you put them in a sitting posisiton. Any sign of a growling/barking give her a correction (tug of the leash) and make sure she stays sitting. This will take patience and consistancy but this is basically what you need to do. Over time she will learn not to even begin to start carrying on in these situation and you can gradually phase out the use of the leash. Good luck
Go to the local animal shelter and buy a gift certificate for Spay/Neutering or Frontal Lobotomy with your dog's name on it.
Excitedly show it to your dog and tell her with a straight face, ';this certificate can be redeemed ANY time and NEVER expires. Just let me know when you want to go.... by barking.
Either way, it'll be the best 50 bucks you ever spent.
Hope this helped.

Why do people give such bad advice like ';the name of the school you attend doesn't matter';?
I was dumb enough to follow this advice. I attended a college that was way below my ability. I graduated at the top, but I didn't really have many opportunities after graduation. It was difficult to find a decent job and none of the top graduate schools would accept me.
*The school I attended is an accredited university that has been around for over 100 years. So, I did not attend some online university.Why do people give such bad advice like ';the name of the school you attend doesn't matter';?
Not everybody gives bad advice. If you follow everybody's advice that you get, you won't get very far in life. I make it a point not to follow anybody else's advice. I make my own choices. That way, the consequences are my own as well.
ps. I really answered this question because I think your profile name is ';entirely inappropriate';. Mr. Obama is not a saviour of any kind and it is very offensive to have to read the profile name in that context in this category. Just putting it out there.Why do people give such bad advice like ';the name of the school you attend doesn't matter';?
sorry, but you said it yourself, ';I was dumb enough to follow advice'; so now you'll reap what you sowed. You know yourself more than anyone, so you should have had better judgement. Don't be so hard on yourself though, i'm sure your a very accomplished person.
Just keep trying. Dont give up!
People who graduated with honers from schools like Harvard have a hard time finding employment right after school this day and age, in this jacked up economy.

How come all the helpful people that give good advice, you wanna ask 4 more help, never allow email :( ?
because there are too many weirdos on hereHow come all the helpful people that give good advice, you wanna ask 4 more help, never allow email :( ?
Are you talking about YA people? I try to give my best advice then again its my choice whether you contact me or not. Same goes for you.
Edit--Im not full of myself however I value my points. Ive been on the verge of loosing my account therefore its not worth loosing it! If you ever need a friend or a contact..email me. ..I will gladly assist you!How come all the helpful people that give good advice, you wanna ask 4 more help, never allow email :( ?
Giving out your email address on the internet is inviting all kinds of crackpots to write you. Unfortunately not everyone has good intentions and it's quite discouraging to get flooded with spam e-mail just because you've tried to be helpful.
it sucks, which is why i allow my email, i can always delete, or if neccessary report, any unwanted emails from idiots
That's a good question. Maybe the better ones will allow it, or show you how to help yourself?
Because sadly, most people don't email to ask for more help. They email to threaten or rant.
Thats the way life is, Ive many times seen good answers and needed more and theres no way of getting it
because they know that once you start the emails will never stop!
idk.....ppl can email me...but i dont think i answered any of urs
aww i dont know lol :P email me if you want lol

Wow Nik, your right... i block my email because you get some really peculiar people on here... not all are normal!

Edit--Im not full of myself however I value my points. Ive been on the verge of loosing my account therefore its not worth loosing it! If you ever need a friend or a contact..email me. ..I will gladly assist you!How come all the helpful people that give good advice, you wanna ask 4 more help, never allow email :( ?
Giving out your email address on the internet is inviting all kinds of crackpots to write you. Unfortunately not everyone has good intentions and it's quite discouraging to get flooded with spam e-mail just because you've tried to be helpful.
it sucks, which is why i allow my email, i can always delete, or if neccessary report, any unwanted emails from idiots
That's a good question. Maybe the better ones will allow it, or show you how to help yourself?
Because sadly, most people don't email to ask for more help. They email to threaten or rant.
Thats the way life is, Ive many times seen good answers and needed more and theres no way of getting it
because they know that once you start the emails will never stop!
idk.....ppl can email me...but i dont think i answered any of urs
aww i dont know lol :P email me if you want lol
=D
Wow Nik, your right... i block my email because you get some really peculiar people on here... not all are normal!
I do. Hit me up if you want to talk.
cause they are smart and dont want ignorant people bugging them.
sounds like you need help
To people asking for tax advice on Yahoo answers?
Are you aware that at least half of the answers to your questions are not accurate? I have been reading the questions and answers for US taxes for several weeks now and I am astounded at the amount of WRONG answers. Most of these tax questions can't be answered properly without more information from the asker. Giving outright wrong answers is irresponsible. I would advise all people seeking tax advice to go to irs.gov or your state website and READ the instructions for the forms you need. Perhaps a better question for askers would be ';What forms do I need for (fill in the blank)';? Or if you really want advice be more specific with your questions or use the ';additional information'; feature to add details to your question.To people asking for tax advice on Yahoo answers?
I've noticed the same thing myself, though there are some correct answers on here. It's like this in any category though, 50-75% incorrect answers. People just answer without doing any research or showing where they get their info from. Without a source, I'd be skeptical of ANY answer I receive on Yahoo! Answers, in this section or any other.To people asking for tax advice on Yahoo answers?
RamsGod complains about 'yoyos that think a link to a googled IRS site qualifies as an answer'. When self proclaimed CPAs say claim X on line Y of form Z and the instructions for form Z say X is not deductible, I'll take the IRS site any day.
I think a good link to an IRS document settles any debate on the issue and lends credence to the answer.
Yes, I realize I may get a lot of far out answers but one might at least lead me in the right direction. That is all I need. Thanks for your concern.
In all seriousness, I really wish people who have no tax experience whatsoever would stop answering questions. I am an EA, there are a slew of CPA's that check here, and some Tax Preparers as well. The rest of you community college Accounting students and general ';I want 2 points for answering a question'; yoyos that think a link to a googled IRS site qualifies as an answer, please stop. Stay on the general categories and answer Ashley Simpson polls or teenage love questions.
I definitely agree, there are far too many wrong answers being given out. I hope the people asking these tax questions take the answers with a grain of salt and go to the irs site to ask questions and do research. I also recommend getting Pub 17, it is very helpful. I am a tax preparer, but I will not give tax advice, to much chance for errors. After all what was law last year, chances are has been changed for this year.
AMEN!!!!! I agree - it's scary how many wrong answers there are - either outdated rules, or just plain wrong. If anyone is really depending on these answers, they could really get messed up on their taxes. It seems about half of the answers are incorrect. I guess it gets pretty obvious, when the question is ';can I....'; and half the answers say no and half say yes.

Why do people turn to Yahoo Answers for medical advice?
What makes you trust strangers on the internet over honest-to-god medical evaluation?
Recent examples - ';How much of a drug should I take?';, ';Do I have cancer?'; and ';What's wrong with me? Here are my symptoms.';
These are all things that I've seen. Please let me know if you have asked these types of questions. Why do people turn to Yahoo Answers for medical advice?
because sadly, what ive found after being very very sick, is that going to doctors doesnt always help. for example. i was sick for months and months. i went to the doctors, and they had no idea whats wrong with me. i went through many tests, but since im so young, the doctors automatically assumed that there could be nothing wrong with me because im so young, and just said that all these symptoms i had were mental, and i was putting them on myself. after weeks of frustration, i eventually asked my peers and other people i knew well (or not so well sometimes) about all the symptoms i had. interestingly, a girl i knew had gotten all the same symptoms as me before, and told me i should get a certain test done. i went back to my doctor, and told her that i wanted that test done. somewhat annoyed, my doctor scheduled me for the test. and my friend was right; i did have what she had before, and my doctor was shocked. the truth is; sometimes its better to talk to someone who has had the same symptoms before, and they can tel you what tests to take. because doctors can be extremely judgmental right off the bat, and depending on your insurance coverage will only suggest CERTAIN tests to you, and leave others out. so i like to get opinions from other people, even ones i might not know, about what i have, cause sadly sometimes they are right more so than the doctors. but you have to be careful what you listen to on here, because alot of times people will just be jerks and say ';your gonna die if you dont go to the doctor'; or some crap, which most of the time isnt true. so i like to ask people what tests they recommend. that is the best thing to do. :P (plus, ive had doctors tell me things that were wrong before. one doctor told me that it was perfectly normal for a woman to have a blood sugar level of 50, which is completely wrong. i eventually went to the hospital because i was having an attack cause my sugar was so low. so doctors arent always right either, sadly.)Why do people turn to Yahoo Answers for medical advice?
Because if other people have experienced these symptoms or issues then they may have good advice to pass on, also I suppose with some questions it may help the person asking the question deal with their problem if they are aware that other people have been through the same thing and they are not alone in what they are feeling..
I would not suggest taking all you hear as gospel though, obviously we have professionals in place for good reason and so answers should not be taken as the final verdict but more advice to get you on your way..

It's a risk you must take here. People will ask questions about things like this for support either because it's free, quick answers they can get to give them an idea of the situation, and it's another way to get help. They take the risk to get true information or fake or stupid immature answers. It'd be much safer to go to a doctor no doubt about it. But sometimes people can't and need to try something else. Or would prefer not to go to a doctor for unknown reasons so they come here. People shouldn't believe 'everything' they hear. I mean if someone asks ';How many pills should I take for...(whatever)';. And the real answer is two pills. But someone says eight pills. Maybe they're being an idiot or joking, although it's not that type of matter. You should try to separate truth from lies. And always have more then once source to compare.
i agree with you 100%..i was about to ask a question on here about how many people on here are doctors...i mean like the people on here aren't qualified to answer such questions..i would be scared to take some one Else's medical advice if they aren't qualified
It's easier to ask personal questions to faceless strangers as opposed to people you actually know.
Well if doctors and medical specialists were doing their job properly, people wouldn't need to come here. .
Some teenagers and women seek medical advice here because their doctor father or doctor husband is unable to help them.
because its easier, to find what could be happening than going to a doctor and asking for a diagnose. less scary.

Whats some advice for people who are learning to scream like lacey from flyleaf?
haha. the tokio hotel guy with the big hair. thats bill kaulitz, if you (the question-pster) didnt know, but he doesnt scream. although he does have a voice coach.
voice coach sounds good to me...or if you know any famous rock stars who are willing to help you. but honestly, i doubt you do (although we all wish we did), so hiring a voice coach just for a few lessons is a good idea. but ask around for teachers who are willing to give you two or three trial lessons, and you can see whether its worth the time and money.
EDIT: and you may want to put this into a different sub-category than 'magazines' ..maybe 'music %26gt; rock and pop' or something.Whats some advice for people who are learning to scream like lacey from flyleaf?
Find yourself a voice teacher. Screaming incorrectly can lead to serious health problems, including burst blood vessels in your throat, torn vocal chords, and polyps. Most singers who scream have had to see doctors and have voice coaches (example: Ryan from Envy on the Coast, the Tokio Hotel guy with the big hair)

What advice would you give someone who is afraid of talking to people for fear of regection?
Lets say you've been rejected all your life by people and when it's time to go to work, you have to work around people. So, how would someone who is afraid of people and speaking to them go about making it in the work place. How can they recover and cope. Yes I know see a therapist but in the meantime what can they do?What advice would you give someone who is afraid of talking to people for fear of regection?
Bite the bullet and just speak up. It will probably be necessary for you to talk at work, and most of the conversation will be related to work, so it's doubtful that anyone will reject you. I think your fear of rejection is making your life miserable and holding you back from what you really want to do. A therapist can help, but you have to make the effort yourself. Just tell yourself that you are as good as, or even better, than other people, and there is no reason to feel rejected. I think your own worse enemy is yourself, dear. Get those demons out of you and let your true self emerge, just like a beautiful butterfly.What advice would you give someone who is afraid of talking to people for fear of regection?
No you don't need a therapist.
The easiest way to overcome a fear of talking is to talk to strangers on a subway for about an hour after that your fear of talking to people will be gone. The only way to overcome a fear is to confront it directly. Used to be shy then i was talkative and then i was shy again but now it depends on the situation.
This fear of rejection you have you need to realize is not real. The worse the person you talk to can say is don't talk to me. Thats it. It will not hurt you or kill you, there is nothing to fear.
You are close to the answer. Wait for them to come to you and decide if they are players or outsiders. Don't treat them as the same personality. You will need to develop a list of signs to separate the two groups.
great question and i agree with fresh jeff, he is 100 percent correct about this.
smile
they'll talk to you instead.

Why do people rarely give enough information when they as dog breed advice?
I don't mind giving tips on what breed might fit someones lifestyle, but I hate when people go: ';I want a small dog, which should I get'; or ';I have a cat, which dog should I get?';
I get really annoyed by this, because one needs details to give an informative answer, do you find it annoying too?Why do people rarely give enough information when they as dog breed advice?
Yes, but I find that forgivable.
I find it more annoying when someone says, ';I'm looking for a dog, what should I get'; and everyone says ';My favorite breed is the Longhaired Norkelhound. You should definitely get one of those.';
People asking questions are acknowledging that they don't know what they're doing or are short of facts.
People answering questions should be intelligent enough to realize that their own favorite breed is not a good fit for everyone. If you're going to put yourself out as an expert (i.e., answer a question) at least know what you're talking about first.Why do people rarely give enough information when they as dog breed advice?
They don't realize all the personality and maitenence differences between breeds.
Yes, very.
I also hate it when people say, ';I have ------. I love it, you should get one';.

I find it extreamly annoying! you might accidentally sugest a jack russel for someone who lives in a small apartment who works alot. not a good match.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>
actually no people with small kids may need a small dog and are looking for a smal dog that is good with kids. Others may be looking for a bigger dog that is used as a watch dog. It just helps people find the right pet.
I find it annoying. But keep in mind a lot of people on here are kids and they don't really know what they're doing/getting into.
I don't find it half as annoying as ';How do I convince my mom to get me a dog?!'; or ';I want to mate my chihuahua and my pit bull to make teacup pitchis!';

i would like them all to know that we are not pedophiles/rapists/creeps/etc as a whole. we are all the individual people we work up to be.What is one piece of advice every straight man and woman should know about gay people?

They don't have to instantly make it obvious that they're straight, and start talking about their gf/bf.
I'm not horny for everybody.
That I'm not out to make them uncomfortable, so if they just get over it it will be fine.
That they don't have to start discussing their opinion on my sexuality.
-Alika613
Oh, that was more than one piece of advice, wasn't it? Sorry, XD
I would love it if straight men realized that 90% of them are gross, and we'd never think twice of doing anything with them. Talk about self delusion.
But I would like it even more if they understood that we can't become straight -- don't they think that I would have tried a thousand times already while hiding in the closet??
Whateva... Sometimes I feel like being gay is a great filter... it keeps the stupidest members of society at bay.
Common misconceptions that must be corrected include, but are not limited to:
1) Not all LGBT men want to suck you up.
2) Not all LGBT people are fem males or butch females, it only seems that way because they are the ones that are obvious. but most actually could not be detected.
Men-great, you have a penis, that doesn't mean that I'm going to ignore the fact that you smell bad and have yellow teeth and rape you while you're not looking....
Gay people are gay. Mind your own business.
That would pretty much end 100% of the conflicts between gay and straight people.
gay men are still REAL MEN
lesbian women are still REAL WOMEN
so cut out those saying that ';be areal men/women'; you are real whatever fashion you are living.
that we do not find every straight person attractive and we dont want to have sex with them n oh yeah...being gay isnt a disease you cant catch it by sitting next to us or talking to us
That they are just as often racists, pedophiles, creeps as straight people.
That we deserve the same respect and rights as everybody else because just like them (believe it or not) we are HUMAN.
That we can love, hate, feel, laugh, cry and bleed like any human.
That just because I'm gay doesn't mean I'm going to hit on you %26amp; that I am the same person I was before I said that I am a lesbian.
xoxo sweetie
That we don't want sex from EVERY straight person. Theres plenty of gay people for booty calls!! :@)
I'd want them to know that regardless of my sexuality IM THE SAME PERSON AS B4
to get over our sexual orientation.. who really cares?
were all people right?? :)
That we are still the same person we always were
and we're not all obsessed with sex
that...to all the straight guys....just because im gay doesnt mean i like you.. i mean i have standards lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!expensive makeup

Why do people give such crappy advice?
Some people who answer questions on here give the WORST advice. Seriously, you'd think they were just making it up on the spot.
ESPECIALLY when it comes to answering credit questions.
The ones answering the ';Help I'm in debt'; questions are probably the ones drowning in debt themselves.
Any one else ever notice this?Why do people give such crappy advice?
We actually have some excellent posters here. People like Echo, Studly, Slimick, Bryan, Sgt Big Red, Spifiman, BDancer (when she's not thinking like a collection agent), Celeste, Dave, Lisa S...all these people come here and give great answers to help people out.
We also have quite a few ';up and comers'; who really are putting forth an effort to learn about credit law and give good answers.
But on a whole I agree with your take. God knows I spend enough time here correcting people who give incorrect information.Why do people give such crappy advice?
yes i notice this...but most people need to realize that the people who are always on the answers dont have lives....
these are people who think that they know something, but really have no idea...
i mean there are the few who come on every once in a while, and know something, but there are still the people who dont have lives who think that by answering questions that they can fulfill an empty area within themselfs.
people need to look at the history of the people who give advice to really understand what the person answering knows
And a lot of the responses provide good information. Unfortunately, it ain't what the person asking the question wants to hear, especially people who have dug themselves into debt.
But the ones that really irritate me are the folks who claim to be professionals in the field and give out really bad info.
Well, look at who the people are that are answering these questions. People from all walks of life, all ages, all everything....
Really, do you want advice from strangers?????????
Most questions on ';Answers'; could be answered easily if the people use Google and not Answers....If they called the Company they are having trouble with, if they did their own personal ';homework';...
You get what you pay for :)
Iceman obviously has not been to http://www.creditboards.com/forums
Some of the best on the net. People with tons of experience, some professional business people are giving good, educated advice.
Yes, good advice can be found on the net.
Yanswers however, is just a mix of people, some who have experience, others who just have opinions!
I have seen someone desperate for help, only to have an idiot answer them in a very ugly way. That's what the little thumbs down button is for.
I still find some really great answers here. Just have to weed through the trash.
Easy, they want points. They don't think thoroughly when giving advice because they don't actually care.

What do you expect?
When you want the best advice you dont get it off an internet message board. Only a fool would actually trust everything that is said on here.
most people just want the points and some just like to give stupid answers to be jerks. i think you should only answer a question if you know what your talking about or have had a similar experience to what is being asked.
because it is you and not them and so they don't care. I honestly do , I come on here to answer the questions i do know so that i can help someone who doesn't. =)
Have you ever noticed how some people come on here expecting great advice? As though a bunch of strangers with nothing better to do would actually have the best advice to give sometimes.
If you think the people giving answers in the credit section are bad, check out the tax section! I have no idea why people answer questions when they don't have a clue.
ya, I notice this, its because most ppl on here are retards that cant pass the 5th grade.
yup sadly people dont allways have a clue when giving advice or just bored and want points
because sum ppl are just plain idiots lol and have no clue wut they are talkin about
I think they just want points
Cause most of them don't know crap
i understand your argument. they do it for points only
ESPECIALLY when it comes to answering credit questions.
The ones answering the ';Help I'm in debt'; questions are probably the ones drowning in debt themselves.
Any one else ever notice this?Why do people give such crappy advice?
We actually have some excellent posters here. People like Echo, Studly, Slimick, Bryan, Sgt Big Red, Spifiman, BDancer (when she's not thinking like a collection agent), Celeste, Dave, Lisa S...all these people come here and give great answers to help people out.
We also have quite a few ';up and comers'; who really are putting forth an effort to learn about credit law and give good answers.
But on a whole I agree with your take. God knows I spend enough time here correcting people who give incorrect information.Why do people give such crappy advice?
yes i notice this...but most people need to realize that the people who are always on the answers dont have lives....
these are people who think that they know something, but really have no idea...
i mean there are the few who come on every once in a while, and know something, but there are still the people who dont have lives who think that by answering questions that they can fulfill an empty area within themselfs.
people need to look at the history of the people who give advice to really understand what the person answering knows
And a lot of the responses provide good information. Unfortunately, it ain't what the person asking the question wants to hear, especially people who have dug themselves into debt.
But the ones that really irritate me are the folks who claim to be professionals in the field and give out really bad info.
Well, look at who the people are that are answering these questions. People from all walks of life, all ages, all everything....
Really, do you want advice from strangers?????????
Most questions on ';Answers'; could be answered easily if the people use Google and not Answers....If they called the Company they are having trouble with, if they did their own personal ';homework';...
You get what you pay for :)
Iceman obviously has not been to http://www.creditboards.com/forums
Some of the best on the net. People with tons of experience, some professional business people are giving good, educated advice.
Yes, good advice can be found on the net.
Yanswers however, is just a mix of people, some who have experience, others who just have opinions!
I have seen someone desperate for help, only to have an idiot answer them in a very ugly way. That's what the little thumbs down button is for.
I still find some really great answers here. Just have to weed through the trash.

I have a new team of people who I need to revitalise and motivate, any advice or ideas?
I have a group of four people who have worked together for the passed two years. They are stuck in a boring routine at the office and never see or work in the rest of the company. I want to motivate them and revitalise what we do as a department. But I'm worried they may be resistant to change. I've dealt with change management before but this is proving to be more difficult! Any advice or ideas are greatly welcomed!I have a new team of people who I need to revitalise and motivate, any advice or ideas?
Team day away from the office doing some sort of challenges such as a ';Get out of that'; type scenarios to build up different ways of thinking, then arrange to visit other departments and work with them for a day or so.
Without knowing the actual business type you are in cannot go further with ideas, but developing teamwork and different ways of thinking by challenges and rewards is a step forward.
There are plenty of these type challenges on the web under team challenges or go to a specialist company who provide these things if work are willing to pay. It does improve relationships and reduce stress etc.I have a new team of people who I need to revitalise and motivate, any advice or ideas?
Offer incentives - work outings, BBQ's or bonuses.
A few ideas: 1) Could you arrange for members of your team (one at a time) to shadow other people in the company. Then arrange for a feedback session where each person cascades info on what they've done. That would give them a better insight into how the company operates and how each part fits into the overall structure of the company.
2) Organise some away-days. Often, time spent out of the office can be time well spent if you structure it properly - maybe get somone from another section of the company to join you.
3) Where are you based? If in the UK or Western Europe I can suggest and vouch for the team-building benefits of a Murder Mystery dinner where members of the team get to be detectives. Only problem is, one team of just four isn't really an option. Could you link with other sections of the company perhaps to make it a more of an ';event';? Cost wise it'll depend on whether you take a plot ';off the peg';, partly customised, or have one especially written (the latter will be more expensive).
The best thing to do is ask them how they think things could be improved %26amp; what they would like to see happen around the office. Make sure they know they will be listened to %26amp; be taken seriously. People always feel more confident if they know they can raise issues %26amp; collectively find a way forward. In my experience they come up with perfect solutions %26amp; feel more valued. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain. Good luck. You sound like a good boss 'cos you have taken the time to approach a potentially diffcult situation.
set them goals,then have awards when the goals are reached?

Can people please give me advice on moving out of home?
I'm 18 and want to move out to get more independence.
What is a reasonable budget that I would need for each month?
What bills would I have to pay?
Thank you guys!Can people please give me advice on moving out of home?
My advice is - don't. Depending on where you live, it could be anywhere between $2000 - $4000 per month to get by if you don't have a car and car payments. You must pay all the bills, food, clothes, and you won't have independence since you will not be able to afford to do anything but sit at home and go to work.Can people please give me advice on moving out of home?
Given the cost of living alone, I'd really suggest finding someone who's looking for a roommate. See roommates.com or Craigs List
Rent, Power, water, cable, phone or cell phone, food, car payment? or gas for the car. If you finance furniture you would have that payment, and so on. Its really hard to calculate that because we don't know how much rent and what necessities you have or will need, you may also need some deposits for like power and water. Call around and get some housing prices and take it from there.

WHY DO PEOPLE ASK FOR ADVICE AND NOT TAKE WHEN IS GIVEN?
I am the biggest offender.WHY DO PEOPLE ASK FOR ADVICE AND NOT TAKE WHEN IS GIVEN?
Haha, I know. I always think that. Whenever I feel I'm giving someone five star advice, I think in the back of my head, ';Whatever...not like they're even gonna listen to me.'; This is why. People ask questions, looking for advice, but in their own mind they already know what they're going to do. They're just seeking validation from the people who happen to agree with them (if any). They disregard the answers that go against their thinking, and then feel justified when they do what they originally intended to do. I am also a big offender.WHY DO PEOPLE ASK FOR ADVICE AND NOT TAKE WHEN IS GIVEN?
There are several reasons. Some people just need to vent about whatever is bothering them and the best ';starter'; is to ask for advice. Secondly, sometimes people don't agree with the advice thats given regardless of how much it makes sense, would work, or is clear. Sometimes communication is unclear and the person doesn't understand what you mean or thinks you mean something other than what you meant (mostly happens with language barriers). In any case, all you can do is offer your best advice and let the person make the final decision about how to handle it and if they will use all or some of your advice. Don't take it personally if they don't use it, instead just be thankful they felt they could come to you for advice to begin with.
Best of luck to you...
Perhaps the people do not like the advise that is given or they are scared to do the right thing. I give a lot of advice here in hopes that people will make the right decisions where I might not have in the past, but ultimately all it is is advice. It is up to the person receiving to use it or not.
because naturally when others ask for advice its just to compare it to what they think and in the end they end up doing wht they wanted from the beginning they just want some justification and to feel like they included someone else when really in the end they arent going to use ur advice they are going to go with what they want to do
I always tell my friends when they come to me for advice,';I don't want you to go out and do this without thinking. I want you to think about it first and then decide to do what I advised you or whatever you want. I don't want you to think that you have to follow everything I say.';
They ask for advice already knowing what to do. They want someone to tell them exactly what they're thinking, and then they will follow through with what ever it is. If someone tells them to do something that's not what they're thinking, then they just ignore it. Hope I helped! = ]
Sometimes when people ask questions they already have an answer in their head and what they want to hear. So they are really just making sure they are not crazy and making sure someone else thinks its a good idea too. Only some people do that.
They do it to help formulate a decesion. People like to talk about their problems -- no really they do. Plus...the majority of people are usually wrong. Always go with the minority.
People usually know what they are supposed to do but dont wanna do it, they just wanna hear something different to justify not doing the right thing
They are not really asking a question but rather venting a frustration to which they already know the eventual outcome. And besides if you only have 0% best answer no one will trust your advice anyway.
Because sometimes it's not what they think would be best. Yes, they ask for it, but sometimes others have better advise that they dish out for that situation.
its hard to override our natural desire to do what we WANT to do.
However, doing whats best for ourselves....thats hard
because the advice that was given isn't the advice they were looking for
mostly because the advice isn't what you wanted to hear...i do it too
because they know the answer or what to do already.

Why is Mchenryeddie the only person with Good Advice? And why do people follow the bad ones?
Mchenryeddie is the only person here (other than of course, my arrogant self :P) giving good solid advice to people, so why are people agreeing with stupid advice?
Do you want to find a way that makes you lose weight in a week and magically keeps it away forever?
Because it doesn't exist.
Diet pills don't work
Eating one meal a day and starving yourself makes you GAIN WEIGHT
Atkins sucks
So why!?Why is Mchenryeddie the only person with Good Advice? And why do people follow the bad ones?
Thanks ZipLock...
I think there's a ton of misconceptions about dieting and health... I urge everyone who is concerned about their health and fitness is to educate themselves.
That means reading. I subscribe to about 7 different health magazines and people consistently throw me scientific articles on nutrition.
I've learned a lot about health and fitness over the years and hopefully I can help a few people get over their weight /fitness issues.
Thanks again, Ziplock, I've read some of your stuff and found it on line with my beliefs too.Why is Mchenryeddie the only person with Good Advice? And why do people follow the bad ones?

What percentage of people do you think are actually seeking sound advice when asking Yahoo questions?
I have tried to give well thought out answers to help people solve their problems only to have them choose the least intellegent answer from the pack. Its not that I think mine are the very best but it looks like in many cases the asker never intended to choose a decent answer. Are you guys running into this? Am I mistaken and this forum is largely for pure fun? Maybe this forum should be divided in two parts? Your thoughts and observations will be appreciated.What percentage of people do you think are actually seeking sound advice when asking Yahoo questions?
I know its flipping annoying isn't it? I spend a long time thinking out helpful answers and then a best answer is picked when it is totally stupid. I think this form is a mix of people trying to help (like you and me) and people who are just taking the p**s.
Still we keep trying don't we?! If I help at least one person then it is worth it.What percentage of people do you think are actually seeking sound advice when asking Yahoo questions?
i have noticed that too. i think more than half the people are just killing time.
I would think it's rather a small percentage, most questions can be answered easily with a search engine.
I think most people just want to post for fun, get opinions etc.
About 1.5% of the questions actually seem to have serious or pertinent intent to anything. The forum seems to be what it is by whom participates. To me most apparently serious questions are usually someones agenda and most of the over 50% questions and answers are just playing around waste of time below the second grade level of competence. Recommendation: Since it easy to waste time here be careful, because your time is worth allot more than just to be trivialized and your painstaking answers to be spat and stomped on like you are an idiot. Good luck with Yahoo! answers.expensive makeup

4x4 relay advice with second and third people?
OK, I am on my school's 4x4 relay team, and I am the starter. When I start, I get my team in first by 50+ meters. Yet somehow our second and third people always lose that lead. What can I do to help them keep that lead?4x4 relay advice with second and third people?
To qualify my experience - I have two state championships in the 4x100, two 2nd place finishes in state in the 4x100, and one 2nd place finish in state in the 4x400. 44 seconds in the 4x100 and 3:35 in the 4x400. My personal bests were 12.0 in the open 100 and 53.5 in the open 400.
First, I have no idea how old you are. Next, I have no idea what everyone's splits are or what your overall time is the event. That would help a lot. But I'll give it a shot.
YOU need to focus on training your 2nd and 3rd legs. Not sure how the anchor leg is, but you should all train together as a team. Take it upon yourself to work with them and better their times. And train with them, don't just bark orders at them.
I highly recommend training for the 400 by running 500s. A good workout is running four 500s. The last 100 meters is the worst part, but struggling through it will do wonders for everyone's endurance. You need to focus on maintaining form throughout, especially when the lactic acid kicks in. Consciously remember to overextend your arms when you tire, this will help somewhat with keeping your stride from shortening too much. If you are in high school, I recommend targeting a time 80 seconds for every 500 you run (if running 4 500s as a workout).
For the workout, run one 500, walk 300. Repeat 3 more times. Do not walk too fast. You want about 5 minutes rest in between. If you are much faster than the others, then let them start first. It does you no good to run slow to stay with them and it will discourage them if they see you out so far ahead. Instead, you let them start ahead of you enough so that you will catch them with 100 meters to go. This way you all will be struggling together and you can try to push each other and you can also view their running form when the real pain sets in. Explain this to them, this is not showboating. This is about the team getting better.
I'll now discuss the 400 by each 100 meters. I am offering my thoughts on the race, but there are numerous ways to approach this race. However, I believe that my discussions on the first 100 meters and last 100 meters are absolute. The middle two can vary.
FIRST 100 (BUILD SPEED)
Run at 90-95% top speed. Stay relaxed. Run on your toes, not your heels.
SECOND 100 (COAST AND CONSERVE ENERGY)
As you begin the second 100, just coast, no more accelerating. Allow yourself to slow just a bit over the first 50 meters to where you may now actually strike your heel to the ground at the 50 meter mark. But do not slow to under under 85-90% top speed. Maintain this and remember to stay relaxed and to breath.
THIRD 100 (COAST/CONSERVE AND MOVE)
Coast again for the first 50 meters, maybe even slow a bit more to 80-85% top speed. Stay relaxed and breath. Let's retrace our steps. You have accelerated for 100 meters and now basically coasted the next 150 meters. Time to begin to try to accelerate again. Accelerate out of the curve for the next 50 meters. Focus on a point on someone's back in front of you and try to catch them. Stay relaxed and breath.
FINAL 100 (PRAY)
When running the 400, your last 100 meters is going to be your worst 100 meters of the race. If it isn't, then that means you had too much left at the end of the race and could have run a faster overall time. So for the last 100 meters, focusing on your running form, staying relaxed, focusing on your breathing, trying to build endurance (500s), and praying are the best thing to do. Guts, determination, will power, and even being crazy helps.
Strangely, for all of this effort, the end result is to attempt to have close to even splits for each 100 meters over the entire race. Your last split should be your worst.
Examples:
Say your time in the 400 is 56 seconds. If your splits are 14,14,14,14 or 13,14,14,15 then you are currently running the best time you can for the current shape you are in. But if your splits are 13,15,15,13 or 11,13,15,17 or 12,14,14,16, then your overall time could be faster if you just changed how you were running each 100 of the race.
It might not be a bad idea to time each of your people in 400 and just let each person run it his own way and get their splits. This could also give some insight as to how to lower someone's overall time.
Don't forget to mix in workouts for sprinting. Also, plyometric drills/ high knee drills will help with sprinting and maintaining stride length.
Don't get caught up with splits too much. Focus on the training. Use the splits as a guide to measure progress.
As always.
Practice does NOT make perfect.
PERFECT practice makes perfect.
CRAPPY practice makes crap.

This is about the team getting better.
I'll now discuss the 400 by each 100 meters. I am offering my thoughts on the race, but there are numerous ways to approach this race. However, I believe that my discussions on the first 100 meters and last 100 meters are absolute. The middle two can vary.
FIRST 100 (BUILD SPEED)
Run at 90-95% top speed. Stay relaxed. Run on your toes, not your heels.
SECOND 100 (COAST AND CONSERVE ENERGY)
As you begin the second 100, just coast, no more accelerating. Allow yourself to slow just a bit over the first 50 meters to where you may now actually strike your heel to the ground at the 50 meter mark. But do not slow to under under 85-90% top speed. Maintain this and remember to stay relaxed and to breath.
THIRD 100 (COAST/CONSERVE AND MOVE)
Coast again for the first 50 meters, maybe even slow a bit more to 80-85% top speed. Stay relaxed and breath. Let's retrace our steps. You have accelerated for 100 meters and now basically coasted the next 150 meters. Time to begin to try to accelerate again. Accelerate out of the curve for the next 50 meters. Focus on a point on someone's back in front of you and try to catch them. Stay relaxed and breath.
FINAL 100 (PRAY)
When running the 400, your last 100 meters is going to be your worst 100 meters of the race. If it isn't, then that means you had too much left at the end of the race and could have run a faster overall time. So for the last 100 meters, focusing on your running form, staying relaxed, focusing on your breathing, trying to build endurance (500s), and praying are the best thing to do. Guts, determination, will power, and even being crazy helps.
Strangely, for all of this effort, the end result is to attempt to have close to even splits for each 100 meters over the entire race. Your last split should be your worst.
Examples:
Say your time in the 400 is 56 seconds. If your splits are 14,14,14,14 or 13,14,14,15 then you are currently running the best time you can for the current shape you are in. But if your splits are 13,15,15,13 or 11,13,15,17 or 12,14,14,16, then your overall time could be faster if you just changed how you were running each 100 of the race.
It might not be a bad idea to time each of your people in 400 and just let each person run it his own way and get their splits. This could also give some insight as to how to lower someone's overall time.
Don't forget to mix in workouts for sprinting. Also, plyometric drills/ high knee drills will help with sprinting and maintaining stride length.
Don't get caught up with splits too much. Focus on the training. Use the splits as a guide to measure progress.
As always.
Practice does NOT make perfect.
PERFECT practice makes perfect.
CRAPPY practice makes crap.
4x4 relay advice with second and third people?
OK, I am on my school's 4x4 relay team, and I am the starter. When I start, I get my team in first by 50+ meters. Yet somehow our second and third people always lose that lead. What can I do to help them keep that lead?4x4 relay advice with second and third people?
To qualify my experience - I have two state championships in the 4x100, two 2nd place finishes in state in the 4x100, and one 2nd place finish in state in the 4x400. 44 seconds in the 4x100 and 3:35 in the 4x400. My personal bests were 12.0 in the open 100 and 53.5 in the open 400.
First, I have no idea how old you are. Next, I have no idea what everyone's splits are or what your overall time is the event. That would help a lot. But I'll give it a shot.
YOU need to focus on training your 2nd and 3rd legs. Not sure how the anchor leg is, but you should all train together as a team. Take it upon yourself to work with them and better their times. And train with them, don't just bark orders at them.
I highly recommend training for the 400 by running 500s. A good workout is running four 500s. The last 100 meters is the worst part, but struggling through it will do wonders for everyone's endurance. You need to focus on maintaining form throughout, especially when the lactic acid kicks in. Consciously remember to overextend your arms when you tire, this will help somewhat with keeping your stride from shortening too much. If you are in high school, I recommend targeting a time 80 seconds for every 500 you run (if running 4 500s as a workout).
For the workout, run one 500, walk 300. Repeat 3 more times. Do not walk too fast. You want about 5 minutes rest in between. If you are much faster than the others, then let them start first. It does you no good to run slow to stay with them and it will discourage them if they see you out so far ahead. Instead, you let them start ahead of you enough so that you will catch them with 100 meters to go. This way you all will be struggling together and you can try to push each other and you can also view their running form when the real pain sets in. Explain this to them, this is not showboating.
