What're your questions for the world?

EXTRA INFO ABOUT THE SITE:

Hey! This blog is about asking questions that're on my mind or that people may ask me. These are not little questions really and they can have multiple answers so feel free to answer them as you see fit. The whole point of the site is to have people think about the world and the way things are. If you don't agree with something I've said tell me why with a comment (you have to have a google account), but please don't use that as a way to be obnoxious. Everything is pretty much up in the air when it comes to what you think and how you feel about something so I can't really set down any guidelines other than don't be too judgmental of another comment or of something I may have said.

Stay open-minded and hear people out. =]

Hope you enjoy and don't criticize what I'm trying to say too harshly. Although of course I'm open to criticism and debates. =]

Also...Email me @: tomiahayes@yahoo.com if you have a question you'd like to have posted on the site. Remember they have to be versatile and have many possible answers and they can't be...child-ish.

Why: Are Women Considered To Be Beneath Men?

       Now, I am not just asking this question because I'm a female. I'm asking because when you think about it, it makes no sense. Men are no better than women. We're all (for the most part) made the same. Yet, because men are slightly stronger, they feel they have more power than us women. But, I beg to differ!
       Women can do EVERYTHING. I'm not making an exaggeration when I say that at all. The only thing we really need men for is reproduction. Other than that, they aren't needed. They're more of a kind of want. I'm not trying to offend anyone of the opposite sex here. That's not my intention at all. All I'm saying is, if it weren't for the fact that without you we wouldn't have anymore people, we wouldn't use you.
       A lot of arguments for this subject will come from the fact that God made men first and women come from men. -__- really? Is that all you've got? If it weren't for men we probably wouldn't have had so many wars. If it weren't for men we wouldn't have anywhere near this many rapes. The list can continue to go on.
       For the longest time women weren't allowed to learn, we weren't allowed to vote, men pretty much didn't let us think. Now, sure we can vote, we can go to school, we can think...for the most part..., but are we treated equally? A lot  of people will say that there are double standards...And there are! Men usually get paid more than women. Men can't hit women. Yet, we're equal? I'm not saying that hitting a female is right! We're still a lot more fragile than men...But that's the only argument a man can throw at this situation. "If women really want equal rights they'll learn how to take a hit or two"...Do we really want to go there?!
       No women are not treated like men in my opinion. We're steadily placed beneath them in all means and I don't believe that's fair. They really have no reason to think of us as less to them. Especially, when they're so weak in will power when it comes to the opposite sex....We could make them do whatever we pleased. Yea, think about that.
       So someone give me a valid reason...Why?

Why: Do People Kill People That Kill People To Show That Killing Is Wrong? (Asked By Kathryn)

       That is such a good question. I mean, of all the double standards in the world...
       When someone murders someone else (and they're actually caught), they're sentenced with either life in jail or death. Now, I totally get that the murder victims loved ones are gonna be pretty pissed and distraught. They'll all want revenge and whatnot. It's just that...If we're trying to tell people that killing other people is bad...What sense does it make to kill someone to prove that point? 
       "If you kill someone we're just gonna kill you"...really? 
        As people, we all have emotions and our instinct is to get rid of the problem, in this case that's always the killer. I guess I see the logic when it comes to say a serial killer, kill one person save a lot of lives...But when you look at it from the view point of "We're teaching the world a lesson" I don't really see how they expect us to listen when they're killing people. I could see maybe torturing somebody and locking them up for the rest of their lives, but when a person kills, say, an entire family, and you repay them but injecting them with some drug that let's them feel no pain...what is that really saying? "You kill someone and let them hurt, and we'll kill you nice and easy." I don't see the logic there. 
       All-in-all it's a pretty stupid system. If we don't want people to be killed...Why are we just gonna kill people? I mean that could anger a lot of people and make them go out and kill more people. Am I the only one who thinks like that?
       Well...You tell me...Why? Does that make sense?

Why: Is It That The People Who You Think Are Happiest Usually Aren't? (Asked By Meghan)

       Reading this question made me think of the saying "You can't judge a book by it's cover".  People can say how happy they are, say what a good life they're having...And they can be lying right to your face. Sometimes the best actors/actresses are those who have to put on a show for people every single day of their lives.
       You see this more in young people (teenagers). They can go to school and seem like the happiest person in the world. They can have all of the friends in the world, be so popular, and still be close to dying on the inside. You'd never think it was them though, 'cause they know how to hide the pain they're in. You can't point them out like you can the people who LOOK down and hurt all the time. You can't say "They must be going through it" because you would never know. They hide it that well.
       I don't know everyone's story though..So you can tell me why...
