Here is my addition to unanswerable questions. This isn't a series of questions, rather a look at some common findings we deal with on a daily basis, that puzzle most everyone.

These views are from a comedian, George Carlin, and if you ponder for a second you will see how much sense this makes.


First topic: Freedom of Choice
Do we really have freedom of choice? Why does it seem that the really important things in life have limited choices and the not so important, many choices. For example:
only:
2 political parties
3 oil companies, soon to be 2
about 3 commubications companies
31 flavors of Ice cream
114 different kinds of cereal

Personal Stuff:
why is your sh@t STUFF and someone else's stuff SH@T?
"I need a place for my stuff"
"I wish he'd get his sh@t out of here

Ever walked into a room and forgot why you went in?


Are these words really necessary? think about these:

OXYMORONS:
mandatory options
mutual differences
nondairy creamer
open secret
resident alien
silent alarm
sports sedan
wireless cable
mercy killing
lethal assistance [Contra aid]
business ethics
friendly fire
death benefits
holy war
near miss
assistant supervisor
new tradition
original copy
uninvited guest


Unnecessary Words
There is a tendency these days to complicate speech by adding unnecessary words. The following phrases all contain at least one word too many.

emergency situation
fear factor
peace process
shower activity
free of charge
intensity level
surgical procedure
knowledge base
belief system
boarding process
forest setting
seating area
floatation device
beverage items
sting operation
hospital environment
prison setting
facial area

What do ya think people?

O.K. I gotta question...

Why are some foods acceptable to eat and others are "gross"? Who made the rule that we could eat cow flesh and call it wonderful, but positively gag at the thought of eating dogs? Of course this is only true if you are not Hindu, because cows are sacred to them. What about shrimp and crawfish? Aren't they basically sea bugs? If we can eat them, why not grasshoppers or roaches? Think about it, if roaches were on the list of "good to eat" do you think they would volunteer to come into your house?!?! Two problems solved in one!!

I tell ya...I crack me up sometimes.... LOL

You know what , I swear that they understand each other.
When my son was one and my nephew was two. I actually watched the two of them talk to each other and calcualate how to open the screen door together.....and they did it....it was hilarious

MMB,
I KNOW RIGHT. WE ARE BASICALLY JUST BEING SILLY, NOT TO OFFEND ANYONE AT ALL. IF WE ACTUALLY TOOK THE TIME TO THINK ANY OF THESE THROUGH THEN, THESE WOULDN'T BE UNANSWERABLE QUESTIONS WOULD IT.
I'M NOT SCREAMING, IT'S JUST EASIER TO TYPE.

So then would you say that "sound" is ONLY interpretted as by the human ear, or other ways as well?
Okay, your smart.

And Why can I sit on this computer for hours at a time with you guys on GC? Don't answer that
