Sex crimes, and any mental injury (which is really what sex crimes are ... assaults on the mind) is horrible, and I have an idea of what that sort of pain is like because I'm disabled and tormented from a chemical inbalance in my brain that causes me immense stress. Indeed, being traumatized can make you feel "dead".

But is making someone feel dead worse than offing someone? At least if you're mentally injured you have a chance to get better, and your brain isn't DEAD. Saying a sex crime is worse than killing a person is like saying chopping off someone's hand is worse than taking their head.

I do understand why people tend to see sexual crime as worse than violent crime - more people are victims of sexual crimes than murder, and our culture is soooo damn obsessed with sex. And people are generally horrified of crimes against children in general, and pedophilia is so common. I'd say punching a kid in the face is more "disgusting" than offing an adult to most people.

I have lived as far north in Canada as 53 parallel. I am now still in Canada but not that far north. Yet at this time of year it is usualy cold and we have more snow. No snow here yet...the praries are dry. Not too cold yet either.

If you have noticed a difference in warming, what was it? Where do you live?

If you have noticed a difference...What do you want to do about that?

Hi, I am 5 week pregnant and I was wondering if it will harm my baby if I use bleach to lighten my facial and body hair. I also use henna to color and condition my hair. is it harmful also? I haven't used any of it ever since I found out that I'm pregnant. I would also like to know if I can start walking on trademill for exercise. Althought everybody in my family been telling me to do nothing but sit around and wait till it turns three months so that my pregnany will be settled and I won't have the fear of losing the baby. I would be very greatful if someone could answer my questions.

thanks
mili

My daughters is engaged to a lovley boy but its the age old problem of a interfering mother inlaw I cannot do a thing right she will call and the conversation will be great and then suddenly she will start prying into things and making rude comments. I let my daughter move out of home she is 20 yrs old and she works long hours and somtimes i dont get to see her for a few days The mother in law told me that i dont have a good relationship with my daughter because i let her leave home and said in more ways than one that i am a bad mum. What am i to do i dont want to say anything to my daughter as it will really upset her and if the boyfriend finds out he will most likley tell her. How can i deal with this woman she is so judgemental about everything and of course she is the perfect parent so she tells me!

If not, why??? OR If so, why??

There's a guy that I used to really like a long time ago---(well, more like a year ago)---Anyway, I never really got to have a conversation with him.

One day last week, I had just come from seeing a movie with my sister and her son, when right at the next street corner, I saw this guy walking out of the building where he works (didnt know he worked there until later).

When I saw him, I just said hello and smiled, ---he at first, kept walking on for a second, but then kept looking back repeatedly as though he recognized me. Long story short-----we walked and talked for at least a whole block, until my sister came up behind and he FINALLY realized WHO I was!!! I cant believe he was talking to me without fully realizing who he was talking to. Anyway, it was hilarious. At the end of the "revelation", we hugged on another goodbye and went our separate ways.

Does this make me believe in fate?----Not sure.

WHAT'S YOUR STORY??

I live with my boyfriend. We are kinda disagreeing about who should claim our son, who was born in September. I am not working right now and he is. I only worked about 3 months this enitre year but I did pay in taxes. My aunt called and told me that I should claim the baby because I could get a lot back, more than what I payed in. My bf disagrees with her and says we would get more back if he claimed our son. My aunts daughter payed in less than 500 last year and got back about 3800. Can anyone explain anything to me? My bf says he can claim head of household, but dont you have to be married to do that? Any advice will be great, and only serious responses please.

I give a lyric line, you give the song title AND artist. Get all five, you get ten points.

1. "I'd like a permanent friend..."
2. "We can chase the stars..."
3. "If this is love, it breaks my heart..."
4. "Once upon a time when we were friends..."
5. "it's enough to make you want to lose your mind..."
