  3. Why do we have to pay taxes on both our income and our spending? Didn't we get taxed already for the money?
  4. Also, why do we pay taxes on money that we pay taxes with? If we never recieve the money, because it goes to taxes before we get it, then it wouldn't count as incom, because we never got it, right?

  10. If men think that lesbians are sexy, why do they bash gays?
  11. How is it that when I'm unemployed, I'm turned down for jobs that I apply for because I'm overqualified? Wouldn't that be a good reason to hire me?

  22. How do surveys manage to report the percentage of persons who fit a category but refuse to admit it?
  23. Why are people universally afraid of cancer? It's almost always curable, and yes, if it's left untreated it can kill you, but so will strep throat, ear infections, food allergies and even bad teeth. Why aren't people so afraid of them?
