How is it that the Beatles are ranked above a band like Led Zeppelin when they were much more talented?
Firstly, rankings are bullshit. Anyone can make a top ten list. Its not official or important. So if you like Led Zeppelin more than the Beatles then for you it is.Second. Talented is a loaded word. What do we mean by talent? Writing ability? Ability to play? Live performance? There are many ways to be talented in music and they dont align altogether. Also, keep in mind production. All of these big bands are produced to some extent. Their music isnt always all their own. Speaking of that, Zeppelin were abject Theives that ripped off dozens of artists

What do I do when I'm feeling really boy crazy (16-year-old)?
I'm going to be totally honest. You can't do anything.ud83dude02ud83dude22 I'm almost sixteen and I go so boy crazy sometimes that I literally start to hyperventilate.(that's how hard I laugh when I'm nervous.) I'll be in my bedroom just thinking about boys and start laughing and smiling like an idiot. Now I'm not like this in public. In public I always do my best to maintain my self respect but when I'm alone I go full boy crazy. The worst part is it's often over animated characters. ud83dude02

What was Harry's relationship like with the Weasleys after Fred's death? Did George blame Harry and become distant?
George may need some time to himself, but in the long run he won't be any more distant from Harry:All the Weasleys, including Fred, went into the battle knowing they may be killed. George knew this about Fred.It was a well known fact in the Wizard world that Harry was the main hope. This fact would be better known to the Order, who Dumbledore told.
George knows that Weasley's Wizard Weezes got their startup loan from Harry. George won't forget that.Ron is Harry's close friend, and Ginny would soon marry Harry; George wouldn't go against his family

What do the US and developed countries think about Pakistan? What comes to mind when you hear the word "Pakistan"?
A massive crowd burning a woman in her car cause they think she stepped on a Qur'an.In other parts of the world we have one terrorist trying to kill lots of people. In Pakistan its the general public you need to watch out for.
In islam it forbids murder in this sense, To kill one who is innocent is to kill the world. How the religion views one who is innocent is vastly different than the rest of the world. Page 2 v24 non believers are fuel for the fire of hell.

What is America's biggest weakness?
I would say anti-American sentiment within our own borders. So many people don't realize how good they have it in America. Thousands of men have died for you too opine your ridiculous anti-American views. Your right of freedom of speech. You even have a right to burn our beautiful flag. But I can guarantee you one thing you are not going to do that in front of me. Every time I go on this harangue oh, I'm reminded of That 70's phrase. America love it or leave it. If you don't absolutely love being American just get the hell out

Is it possible for someone to be a narcissist and not know it?
Of course. I was married to one and didnt know it either!Why would they seek an answer to their love bombing, deceit, anger, anxiety, lying, verbal abuse, venting, physical abuse, sabotaging routines, self focused ego, and to top it blaming others for everything that goes wrongbecause when its someone elses fault - there is nothing wrong with them. They know everything, are top dog, entitled etc etctheres no reason for them to discover more about them except maybe when their first million is coming in

Why did the American police kill a black man who, according to the media, was innocent?
American police kill 1000 people annually because they have never been trained to Serve and Protect the way British, Australian and Canadian cops have. Also many thick heads live by propaganda that tells them- We are the greatest country in the world and then perform acts like Chauvin did to prove the exact opposite. They dont realise they are only 5% of world population and that China and many Euro countries are thousands of years in maturing while America is really The New Kid on the Block at age 250. Most American government groups refuse to acknowledge the superior methods of other countries and so they continue to wallow like pigs in the mud

What if a young child (under 5) went up and hugged a queen's guard? Would they still stomp at them or just not react?
After reading an answer from an actual queens guard, you know the answer from a point of view.But the queens guards do have brains, and if they see a child come to hug them or stand next to them, they would smile or not react at all. Its only a kid, not a wanted serial killer.
Say it was an adult that stood next to the queens guard or hug them, they would probably stomp before they go and hug em.Theres no 100% true answer since it never happened before

Why is Mukesh Ambani more successful than Anil Ambani?
Mukesh Ambani has passion for his business. He remembers every single person , he has ever worked with. During the split , he lost some very high potential business like telecom,which he got it back with JIO.
Anil is glamorous and wants to be lime light. He has made several investors , banks , bond holders bleed through his speculative decision making and converted gold into dust. No one is ready to invest money in his new forays , so he goes to corrupt PSU and chinese banks for easy loans.

If Erich Von Manstein was given freedom to act as he saw fit, would it have been possible for Germany to have won the war?
The casualties from Sevastapol were too great for Von Manstein to recover a military solution for the entire War by the end of the Summer, 1942. The storming of Sevastapol after Operation Bustard Huntwhich was a stunning successwas in fact a stunning failure on the part of Von Manstein. Simply put he was ultimately a very bad General who never was able to keep Hitler's focus on the Caucuses after the incredibly incompetent Russian Offensives of the Spring of 1942.
His memoirs (Lost Victories) are very self serving

What bands would I like if I listen to Nirvana?
The bands that influenced Nirvana the most, in addition to bands like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Screaming Trees, which were playing around Seattle at the time, were bands like The Raincoats, Beat Happening, Pixies, REM, Hsker D, The Replacements music that grew out of punk, but was separate, and which had kept the connections to folk-rock that other post-punk bands like Joy Division, PiL, or Siouxsie and the Banshees had abandoned in favor of a reggae flavor. In particular, American indie rock bands like Pavement, Hsker D, Dinosaur, Descendants/All are worth checking out

Why was Native America so unadvanced and primitive? What hindered their technological progress pre-1865?
I do not agree with the term primitive. The vast majority of Native Americans lived a semi-nomadic life style but had a well developed social hierarchy, complex art skills, inclusive society and a rich oral history tradition. Their sparse populations in reference to the size of the country with natural geographic barriers limited tribal contact although there were groups that did trade over long distances.Traditional Hopi ceramic crafts are among the finest in the world.
Traditional Lakota beadwork.
I would apply the word primitive as well as barbaric to the way these native peoples were treated by the encroaching white population

Can different species evolve into one?
Its all about DNA. It did not happen by accident. Thats really impossible. The difference between species is about information. DNA has a code. To change species new code must be added. There is no credible mechanism for this to happen. I recommend Lee Strobels book The Case for a Creator. He was an atheist journalist who started investigating spiritual things some years ago. He ended up writing The Case for Christ and that is a book I recommend to my atheist and agnostic friends.

What is wrong with democrats packing the court given what republicans are doing and considering that future demographics favor them?
Theres absolutely nothing wrong with packing the court. The court has had different numbers of justices over the years. Democrats will answer the disgusting reprehensible behavior of Republicans. We arent interested in living in some conservative shit hole led by religious zealots trying to force decent people to accept their filthy fantasies. We arent getting rid of abortion or gay marriage or the ACA. The whole world despises Republicans. They should all be DEPORTED and their property confiscated by the state. Maybe thats what well do.

Can the United States and its allies stand up to the Chinese military in the South China Sea? What can they do?
The Chinese, if necessary, will fight for home and family The US will fight for the wealthy elites and their profit far from home.The US do not stand a chance in an all out fight with China.The US are great bluffers and flag wavers, but when it gets down and dirty they need allies to do the dirty work. Simply study who took all the heat in WWI and WWII. The Johnny Come Latelies got off light compared to even Australia and Canada per capita

Why didn't the Russians hire loads of Vikings to fight off the Mongols?
In battle, Vikings were well-known as raiders and pirates and skilled fighters, but they were never known for massive armies, use of cavalry and tactics (even when they invaded to conquer, they were often outnumbered and not seldom defeated).Vikings would probably not have fared any better than other infantry of the time against superior marksmanship, tactics and numbers of the Mongols. Defeating Mongols was not a matter of prowess in battle, but a change in tactics.
Also, Mongol invasion happened several centuries after the golden age of Vikings

SPOILERS What did people think about the fight between Oberyn Martell and Gregor Clegane? Did people find the outcome disturbing?
...and they said that Harrenhal stomach-eating rats gave most horrific death.Yesterday I was going through a question on Quora- What are some of the most disturbing movies? What made them so disturbing? And henceforth I watched trailers of The Human Centipede and The Human Centipede-2. I somehow overcame the grossness yesterday. But then I saw S04E08 and I was WTF? Give me a break!
Seeing the such horrific things for two consecutive days was too much to bear for me.EDIT-But the pic below made me a feel a little normal after so much mind-tearing shit.

How Trump's legal team was able to battle the Mueller investigation?
They didn't. President Trump and his campaign team did not break any laws. Receiving information from any legal means, which they did, meets campaign laws.A true investigation would have looked into the Democrat's rigging the primaries against Bernie Sanders. Who paid for the Steele dossier? Who paid informants to try and join the Trump campaign?Why have the contributions to the Clinton Global Initiative stopped? What were the pre-election donors buying with their contributions?These answers would have shown the true corruption during and after the 2016 election

Why is Stephen Fry highly respected in Britain?
He isn't. He is one of the people in John Lennons Working class hero. Think they're so clever and classless anf free, but still ing Peasants as far as I can see. The song also applied nicely to Lennon.Fame and fortune carry responsibilities, so pissing around with drugs and believing one's self to be above the law is not going to gain a person respect.
I think he may see himself as a latter day Oscar Wilde. But he dont float my boat
