Why do people continue doing things that are bad for them even when there is clear evidence that these activities are harmful?

Answer

There is always some deeper reason as to why people do things that will only hurt themselves in the end. Maybe they are suffering inside. Maybe they are trying to be accepted. Maybe they're just plain not thinking. No one truly knows what's going on inside that person's head... except for that person.

Answer

I've thought about this for many years, since I, like most people, do things that are bad for me. To start with, we are human with all of the usual human weaknesses. Next, all our lives are fraught with danger on a daily basis. I'm not talking about being hit by a bus or by lightening, but even the dangers that we know nothing about. I for one, used an asbestos lined hair dryer for about twenty years. Not on purpose of course. What other simple everyday things are we doing that one day we'll find out are very dangerous. We as a society, try to do better about pollution, wise water usage, traffic safety, safe sex, etc. If you make a list of all of the everyday things that can be a hazard to ourselves or others, the list will be so long that an individual can't follow every caution on the list. A bit oversimplified, but as humans, we're aware of dangers all around us, then we pick a few that suit our own personality and hope for the best. Since we are human beings, we can't be perfect even if we try, we settle for doing the best we can. Now I'll finish my soft drink.

How would you walk like a pimp?

Walking like a pimp means to step forward with one leg, then the other leg you bring half-way forward and let your knee "break"[to flex forward suddenly as if you have stepped on a stone], then without straightening the leg,, drag it level to the first leg with the toes turned under, dragging them forward without the foot leaving the ground.

Some people thinks this looks cool. If you do it long enough, you will likely cause some permanent damage that may not become apparent til old age. If you think it's worth the risk, go ahead. Remember , the majority of people think this looks ridiculous and laughs to see people "pimping" down the street.

Sentence that dosnot have a AEIOU?

The words I was bothered to think about that do not have a vowel is 'why', 'sly', 'try' and 'fry'. And 'why' could be a sentence in its own right? Although many would argue against that I believe 'Why?' is a sentence even though it is said that all sentences must have a verb. All these words end in 'y' because 'y' can have the vowel sound 'i' but it is not a vowel.
To conclude I would say that there a words and sentence(s) that do not possess a vowel.
