How Many of You Want Narendra Modi As the next PM?

This is a presumptive question & its answer will also be a mere assumption.I would like to presume that most people do wish to see Mr. Modi to continue as the PM beyond 2019.As he has taken upon the daunting task of nation building with immense vitality & commendable disregard to votebank trappings.

What caliber of tragedy would have to take place for gun advocates to change their mind about gun control?

I hate to do this, butAdolf Hitler was voted into power. Should this cause us to change our minds about democracy?Free speech has led to the rise of many awful dictators. Should we change our mind about that?The inability of police to do warrantless searches allows countless criminals to go free. Should we change that?The costs of freedom are steep.And it is far cheaper than the alternative

Do scientists believe that prehistoric dogs evolved into whales? If not, then what mammal do they think did?

I'm sure most atheists have no idea (or interest in knowing) what animal evolved into a whale, but a quick Google search for "evolution of whales" brought up this:

The evolution of whalesWhales seem to have evolved from something which looked quite similar to a dog, though of course it was not actually a dog. In fact the chart shows that hippos are the land animals that share the closest common ancestor with whales.

Why is it so wrong for Donald Trump to defend himself by telling the entire truth regarding the attack by Hillary Clinton regarding Miss Universe?

Whole truth? Yeah it would be great if he told he whole truth but trump hasn't been able to tell the truth about anything so far so.I do find it interesting that you want to claim he is telling the full truth. I highly suggest that you look further into the facts regarding the majority of what he says.

Why is Tripura not part of Bangladesh?

The king of Tripura Maharaja Bir Bikram Manikya Bahadur's wish was to join India. In late 1940s Regent Kanchan Prabha Debi signed the treaty of accession of Tripura in India. However we lost regions like Cox's Bazar to Bangladesh ( erstwhile Pakistan). There are many localities/districts/places in BANGLADESH which were ruled by the Monarch of Tripura

Why is Jimmy Carter's presidency so reviled by so many Americans?

For the most part, because some conservatives see all Democrat presidents as the enemy, who must be demonized.That means that all failures must be magnified, all motives must be made suspect, and the character of the given president himself (speaking historically) must be assassinated.Simple as that, really.See: Very similar reviling of Clinton and Obama administrations.

What is something you are grateful for that most people take for granted or donu2019t seem to notice at all?

The ability to sustain life, it's quite obvious. But once one has had such thing taken away from them. (Due to a medical, after a major back surgery). I am more grateful to be here, understanding the workings of just living is very educational. Such as walking without thinking to digestion and breathing

What's the dumbest question you've seen on school homework?

Spell polynomial.This was a fun algebra teacher. Were all familiar with bonus questions, where , if you get it wrong, you dont lose anything, but if you get it right, you win extra points.This was the opposite: a bogus question. You dont get any points for getting it right, but, because its so easy, you can lose points for getting it wrong.

Spell polynomial. How van you get it wrong? Its right there!

Do you expect the current looting, rioting, and vandalism in the United States will subside under a Joe Biden led administration?

Of course, these are planed by the left terrorists to create chaos and try to undermine Trump. Just one of their dirty tricks! In fact, with Biden's son working for Communist China, we will be going back to rely on China for everything, and keep lossing our job to china if Biden is elected!

How do you explain homosexuality to a young child?

Incredibly my whole family is catholic, and homophobic, yet Im neither. How happy to live in an era where we are capable of questioning familys ideals and refuse to follow them.I would tell him/her that love is love and its okay to have romantic interest in someone of your same gender, just as normal as showing interest in opposite sex.

As a teacher or a student, what is the saddest thing you've ever seen a student go through?

A pizza-shop coworker whod missed the math requirement to get into the local university by 2% explaining to me (I was finishing up my degree) in detail for _a year_ why she should have gotten into the University, how it was unfair, she could get tutors, blah blah blah every shift, every morale event, every ing day. Completely fixated on the past, not trying AT ALL to improve

I'm 23. I lack experience and general knowledge, and I'm a superficial, naive person and lack depth. How do I become a "deeper" person or "a person of depth"? Is reading books a good first step?

You can take the voyage of the outside world, traveling. You can take the voyage of experience, by talking to a lot of people, getting to know them on a deep level. Or, you could just go on a voyage inside yourself. Meditate, think, dream, fantasize, write, and confront your inner demons. All of that together will make you deep, whereas I doubt one of them alone will be able to do that

What if Israel had attempted to capture Damascus during the Yom Kippur War?

Would have sparked a major international crises, the worst since the Cuban missile crisis. There was no way the USSR was going see its most loyal Arab client state humiliated like that. We realized that, and wisely did not try to do it. Could we have, sure, but why go looking for a shitload of problems

Why did the writing in Star Trek: The Next Generation improve after the first season?

I would not take it as a given that the series improved after series 1. Yes that is the consensus, and yes I personally agree with the consensus.More pertinent questions would be How has the writing changed after series 1? and why do people prefer the writing to later series than series 1?The question itself assumes that Series 1s writing being the weakest is a fact. It is a judgement, neither true or untrue

Why isn't Canada as respected worldwide as the USA?

I disagree with your premise - anything that I have seen shows Canada as being more respected. For example:Canada Named Most Reputable Country In Time For 150th BirthdayThe Reputation Institutes last report (Country RepTrak | Reputation Institute) says that Canada is #7 in the world with respect to reputation, and the USA is #34. (see screenshots below)The latest Corruption Index shows Canada as #9 most trustworthy country and the USA as #22 ( Corruption Perceptions Index 2018)I am not sure where you got your information from.

Yes we probably had superstitions like don't bang on that gong three times or the giant king kong will run up out here and get mad at you for wakeing him up out of his monkey nap and hes gonna throw an ape fit and it will knock all our mud huts down dude. Resulting in don't make too.much noise

Is Stephen Fry an atheist?

According to Wiki, Fry's mother is Jewish, but he was not brought up in a religious family. His maternal grandparents, Martin and Rosa Neumann, were Hungarian Jews who emigrated from urany (now Slovakia) to Britain in 1927. Based on his words and deeds, I doubt Mr. Fry is a believer. But he seems obsessed with the idea of belief. So there is hope. Sometimes, those that seek do find

First God was his creator.not his father. Lucifer was the most beautiful of all the angels and it went to his head. He rebelled against God when he couldnt share the same place and power as God our creator, so he got his pink slip, and has had it in for God ever since

How do you trust your partner after he cheated?

You can't. They took part in the worst, most cruel kind of personal betrayal that one can be part of. They have proven themselves not to be deserving of your trust.Take it from someone who has gone through it; you will never fully trust them again. It will never be the way it was before.

They do. They have some incredibly respectable, world-class universities.Namely:St Andrews, where a member of royalty, Prince William, studied.Edinburgh University, which had an incredible breakthrough during the COVID-19 pandemic. Look up some more of their efforts during the pandemic - they are not to be underestimated.Glasgow University.If you dont like Scots, thats very different to claiming they are unable to produce incredible universities

What is the strangest archaeological discovery of ancient technology?

When I studied Chinese history at UCLA, a professor told us that a general from about 200 BCE was excavated, and they found an elaborate belt buckle in the tomb. They filed off a small sample and found it was 85% aluminum. There is NO known process by which anyone could have made an aluminum alloy in china back then.

How different would WWII have been if Lenin was alive and led the Soviets?

Most likely he would agree to surrender the USSR as far as the Ural Mountains and retreat to the east, leaving the western population behind. Then, similarly to his previous exploits, receive German assistance to get the other half of the USSR ready should Hitler need that as well. Lenins love for Russia and the people living there is well documented. His mother made sure that her boys had nothing but good intentions for its people, culture and leaders

As an investor, how do you respond to a venture whose pitch for investment is not led nor presented by the venture's CEO or leader?

Negative signals abound here.CEO is incapable of doing the pitch?CEO doesn't think raising money is important enough to do the pitch?There is a weird team dynamic where CEO needs to let someone else do the pitch to appease someone?Of course if there is something like illness or emergency that requires the CEO to be absent from a previously scheduled pitch that is understood.Other than that, I'm marking it down as a big negative

Do you know anyone who didn't vaccinate their kid(s) and came to regret it?

I met a mother, in the Emergency Room, whose child had whooping cough. The physcian explained to her, in a very diplomatic way, that her childs illness was a direct result of her refusal to have her child vaccinated. Her child was intubated and barely clinging to life.

Whooping cough was essentially eradicated twenty years ago but has made a significant comeback in the last ten years. According to the CDC, over 167,000 people die per year from the infection

My teacher kicked me out of his class, attempted to throw a chair at me and yelled at me for talking in class. Do you think this is fair?

Sounds like you were the final straw that broke the camels back. You probably dont appreciate how stressfull teaching can be especially to people who are rudely ignoring them! Chair throwing sounds a little excessive but I question why you ask if it was fair .. were you fair to interrupt him and show such contempt for his efforts to teach you and the other students?.

Why did John Bonham quit Led Zeppelin right at the peak of their success?

Is this a serious question? I hope so, because if it isnu2019t, itu2019s in poor taste. John Bonham died on September 25, 1980 by asphyxiating on his own vomit, brought on by excessive alcohol consumption. I would not say that Led Zeppelin were at the peak of their success, though they were still very popular and were preparing for a tour of North America.

Is it wrong for Americans to criticize the President when weu2019re on the brink of war? Why or why not?

It is our first amendment right to criticize loud and clear if we feel like an impending war is unjust or against our national interest. We the citizen and our armed forces would be the one bleeding and dying. Do we really want them to die just so a meglomaniac can win a reelection?.

If Neanderthals were so similar to modern humans, why havenu2019t they developed their own civilization?

They were gone as a separate distinct race before civilization existed. Civilization is just the ability to live in cities, no cities, no need for civilization.There is nothing in the archaeological record to suggest that they could not develop this skill, as far as i know, they just stay around long enough.
