| 1 | Starving yourself is a lousy way to lose weight. If you restrict calories too much, your metabolism will slow down and you'll be fighting yourself on losing weight.
The best way doesn't involve extremes. Have a reasonable plan for what you eat, get exercise, eat fewer calories than you need to maintain your weight, and you'll lose weight. It won't be fun and it won't be quick. | What do you think is the best way to lose weight? |
| 2 | Television. Almost anything I'd want from it I can have via computer anyway. | If you had to get rid of ONE of the following four things, what would it be? |
| 3 | I'm ashamed that this survey passed as-is! | are you ashamed of being gay? |
| 4 | No. | Is the phrase "That is as may be", something you might say? |
| 5 | Yes, I had a very good education. | Do you think you got or are getting a really good, solid education at school? If not, what was/is missing? |
| 6 | Two. | How many cats do you own? |
| 7 | I'm tall, 6'4". Mostly I feel bad for them as it seems like I'm right at the limit of what people design for normally. It must be difficult being even taller than that. | How do people of the same sex as you but taller than yourself make you feel? |
| 8 | It's really a very complicated issue.
If it were just a matter of "should we save companies that invested in very high risk debt instruments", then the answer would be no. If it were just a matter of "should we save homeowners who knew that they were taking on loans that were more than they could afford", then the answer would be no. People behaved badly at every level of this situation. Some homeowners took on more debt than they should have, and they knew it. Some homeowners were lied to about what they could afford. Some mortgage companies were lied to about what the people taking out loans could afford. Some financial companies were lied to about the riskiness of the debt they were trading. Some financial companies took on more risk than they were legally allowed to because the SEC waived regulations that they should have enforced. There are liars and victims at every level of the problem. You might want to help out the victims. You might want to punish the people who took advantage or lied. The bigger question is, what happens if you let these businesses fail? What happens if you left the homeowners lose their homes? The belief is that sources of credit are drying up because, as a result of this situation, loaners are no longer trusting that they'll be paid back. And when I say credit, I'm not talking about people buying plasma TVs on their credit cards, or even people taking out mortgages. I'm talking about all credit. There are a lot of businesses that utilize credit in a very healthy manner. Credit allows new businesses to start up, and allows current businesses to keep operating. The concern is that if credit becomes simply unavailable that many businesses - healthy businesses - will no longer be able to operate and will go under, putting more people out of work and making an even bigger mess of things. And these businesses may be things like energy companies, food companies, supermarkets. Things people really depend on. Despite it being called a "bailout", I believe that the focus of it is to try to restore confidence in the credit markets so that those scenarios don't play out. Because unless you really want a lot of Americans to suffer, you don't want credit to just dry up today. And I hope that the next time McCain or Obama goes on a rant about earmarks, someone will shove the bailout legislation up their nose. | Do you think we should bail out Wall Street, the Banks, Corporations? |
| 9 | Do you have the loan papers, or can you get access to them? It would be a really good idea to know what the terms are. You probably get a monthly bill for the loan. Is the payment all interest or is part of it called equity or principal? If it's all interest then it's a "teaser" style loan where you don't have to pay off any of the amount you borrowed for a few years but you end up paying more interest overall. Also, if you can afford to pay a little more equity or principal every month, in the long term you'll save yourself some money.
If you call your mortgage company they should be able to simply describe the terms of your loan - most likely a 30 year loan at whatever percent, or a 5 year adjustable at whatever percent, and to start adjusting on a certain date. If it's adjustable then on that date you may be in for a bad surprise. | Do you think we should bail out Wall Street, the Banks, Corporations? |
| 10 | No. | Do you collect business cards? |
