Why do some white people dislike black people?
For the same reason some black people dislike white people.
It greatly depends upon the amount (and type) of exposure that a person experienced while growing up from childhood to adulthood. Most people are not inherently racist, even if someone had racist parents growing up, they could still become individuals that despise racism and are not racist themselves. Most white people that are racist are ignorant to the culture and backgrounds that other people have. Typically these white people don't even like other white people for various reasons (example, a Southern White Person hates Northern White people and calls them "Yankees", the Northern White Person hates Southern White people and calls them "Red Necks"). They are scared of new and different things and they feel that makes them superior to black people. Thankfully, most white people don't think this way, unfortunately enough of them do that it makes many black people believe that we are all racist. (I promise WE are not!)
Ask yourself (or a white person) this question the next time that anyone makes a racial comment to you or one of your friends/loved ones. Why are you better then me? We are both human beings, and if you are so ignorant that you believe the color of your skin makes you more superior then myself, then why did God create so much diversity on the planet? Every race, culture and civilization on Earth has contributed a tremendous amount of knowledge, wisdom, and innovation to our current way of life. Without all of this diversity, the world be a very boring place.
Why people sleep during meetings?
One possibility is that they may be hypoglycemic. Most people think that a good breakfast is one high in carbohydrates, like oatmeal, toast, pop tarts, doughnuts, etc. But this only leads to insulin shock a couple of hours later and low blood sugar. Also, when people are working, especially in the early part of the day before lunch, they tend to not feel the effects of this insulin surge and the low blood sugar that results because they are too busy. Now take those same people and put them in chairs in a room where they only sit and listen and you've got the perfect ingredients for nap time, because most meetings take place in the morning. My suggestion: Have them all eat a high protein breakfast instead. A good one would be yogurt with nuts and berries. That's real brain food and should help reduce the nodding heads and the eventual nap that results from a high carbohydrate breakfast. First off Oatmeal is a good source of energy and has been linked to help reduce high cholesterol along with apples. Many people skip the most important meal of the day 'breakfast' or as the other poster said they eat junk food (eating on the run.) MacDonalds is great for advertising their egg/ham and cheese buns. Not good! Some employees simply may be working too hard or, they may not be getting enough sleep at night or have personal problems which drain their energy before they even get to work. My husband runs a crew of over 30 men and I help him with his crew and the one thing we do is treat them as people first, then employees and it's worked out well. Oh yes, there is always the 'deadwood' but we are quick to pick those people out and kick butt and three strikes and you're out. Missing work on Mondays from a hangover is not an option! If an employee is off more than 2 days they are required to bring in a doctor's note. The other problem may be the meeting is simply boring!
Yes, perception can be measured through various techniques such as psychophysical tests, neuroimaging, and behavioral experiments. These methods allow researchers to quantify how the brain interprets sensory information and how individuals perceive the world around them.
What is Muslim principle that it is ok to lie to infidels?
I believe if they capture you for example prisoners of war and they tell you to leave Islam or else they kill you.. you need to lie or else you would agree to your own death(suicide) which is forbidden in Islam. Or you have to lie to save yourself or family members from killing.
The answers above are perfect examples of choosing 'the lesser of two evils.'

Well if your Fiance is Conceeded controling person, that doesn't listen to anyone, and you feel in love with him before he was like that, he probably thinks that since your already engaged to him, that you won't back out, and is showing you his true colors. If you don't like him this way, then yes back out of it. He might just be trying to make you break up with him. Talk about it with him. You'll find out all you need to know. Bet you were mad when you wrote this, weren't you? ;) People like this are damn near impossible to live with, and who would want to live with them? Just a word of advice--don't marry the man thinking that he'll change, because if this is truly what he's like, he won't change, and he will probably become worse over time.
Do today's youth have too much freedom?
I think that the words "too much freedom" really should not be put together in that order. I believe the real question is "Are parents skilled enough for todays youth?" That answer is, for the most part, a big collective NO. They do not modernize as necessary to support a shift in culture. Childhood freedom is the best part of living in the here and now. No more patriarchial (What dad say goes!) crap of the 50's. Children are now unhindered by parents who have major insecurity issues. Children are able to point out their parents mistake (Which I fell is a grand thing. For, if I'm screwing up I want one of my three children to let me know. I sure as hell would have wanted the same when I was growing up!) However, the freedom means parents need to get their buts in gear and either network with parents who know what their doing or read up on books (Not the ones that say "YOU ARE THE PARENT!". Those titles are destructive to otherwise constructive parenting. Freedom is a good thing for youth to have. They can make healthier choices (having learned the hard way will instill in them their lesson quicker than ludicrous rules and regulations).
So, in short, I believe that the amount of freedom some kids have is far to less for a growing mind and spirit (not the religious kind of spirit). Just because they have not turned 18 does not mean they couldn't be fully autonomous if given the chance. That is a good skill to have. Give them the love you can give them, listen, be there, help (WHEN THEY ASK FOR IT) but you want them to be able to 'make it' without you. Just in case something would ever happen to you.
Parenting!
Having raised six children - and all of them now parents themselves and less then seventy miles away - I would disagree with the previous answer. The dilemma of the 1960's, really a revolt against too much parental control, resulted, like any other revolt, in overcompensation and allowing too much freedom. Like Aristotle proposed nearly 2500 years ago, we need to find the "Golden Mean." At time we need to exercise control and, at other times, we need to let go.
So now, when do we control and when do we let go? Yes, of course, this is more difficult than to take the simpler, one course route. This is where your judgment as parent comes into play. And, that judgment has to do with the child and its maturity.
I just answered a query as to whether a 10-13 year old child should be allowed to go to the shopping mall alone. Most likely not, but this depends on the child. How well can the child make a good decision? This is the ultimate question! As parents you must ask your child specific questions! Would you go with a stranger who wants to buy you an ice cream? Would you join your friends when they decide to go into a store and steal merchandise?
Parenting is a full-time job. There are no easy answers. Each situation must be judged independently and be based on the maturity of the child and their ability to make good decisions. Some children mature earlier than others. But most want some direction.
Because most likely he has plans with HER....
It's important to stay calm and not take their behavior personally. Consider having a calm and honest conversation with them to address any misunderstandings or ask for clarification on their criticisms. If the situation does not improve, it may be best to limit your interactions with them to maintain your emotional well-being.
Why would a shy girl congratulate her crush for getting his permit but not his license?
She may have lost her nerve, or maybe she didn't think of it.
What are the right way of helping other people?
By not adding a problem to them,you can't help anyway.Mind your own bussinesssss... ___________________________________________________________________________ The best way to help people is by giving them a hand-up and not a hand-out. You should teach them how to help themselves; by making themselves helpful and not helpless.
Why do people hate their bosses?
Probably because nobody actually enjoys being told what to do and how to do it. Even if the boss is generally nice there has always been that image of a slave-driving psycho boss that maybe also takes part in reasons why people dislike their bosses
Do women have better verbal ability than men do?
Women have always been more verbal and overtly expressive than men as a general rule. Men are more introverted, and less expressive about feelings.
Additional informationThe above is absolutely correct. Men were the hunters of ancient times. As such they needed the skills to cover great distances and find their way home. The male spacial perception skills are superior to females because of that need.Females tended to remain "back at the village", meaning that they remained in the company of other females. To generate the bonds and cultivate the cooperative working environment necessary to maintain a social system, females tended to be more communicative.
Do emotions effect on if someone kill someone?
your English sucks
Is this a serious question?Maybe you mean to ask something else and just expressed the question wrong.But otherwise I can't see how you can't answer yourself by just using logical commonsense.It sure would be interesting to know how you came up with this question.Whether something of external stimuli triggered a chain of thought,or whether the stimuli was from internal origin,cause this question is insane.

What are the consequences of a socipath for hurting other people and walking away?
Sociopaths have no consequences. They have no real emotion or regret for their actions. They are detached from their own soul. The only consequence that keeps reoccurring is the fact that they are abandoned by anyone who is patient enough to put up with their manipulative tactics. They are lost hopeless souls.
They taste squishy, and sometimes have a little texture like sand.
