I say to myself as I drive past "Please be a middle-aged white man" Unfortunately, statistically speaking, 8 out of 10 are Asian drivers. I even did an experiment where I kept track of every crazy thing I saw happen on the road, as well as the ethnicity of the driver. I'm sad to report that approx. 80% were Asians. Just to make sure I wasn't coincidentally in a highly dense Asian area, I took track of 100 randomly selected cars passing by on two separate occasions. Only about 20% of the randomly selected group were Asian! I wish that my experience on the road didn't feed by stereotype.
Notice that I didn't say "All Asians are bad drivers" or "The only bad drivers on the road are Asians". That would be stupid to say so please no comments like “You’re a racist”, “Don’t stereotype”, etc. Take it as a hypothetical question if you like. If it were proven in multiple scientific studies that 80% of unsafe/inconsiderate driving was done by Asians would it be racism? Would it be a stereotype? Additionally, I’m not interested in how many accidents are caused by Asians. I already know that the statistics on actual accidents do not support my theory.

A teacher started talking aboutthe final exam for the next day. He said there would be no excuses for not showing up tomorrow, barring a dire medical condition or an immediate family member's death.

One male student said, "What about extreme sexual exhaustion?" and the whole classroom burst into laughter.

After the laughter had subsided, the teacher glared at the student, and said, "Not an excuse, you can use your other hand to write."

I would like to do those tests like "When will I die"
and "What was I in my previous life".
May sound strange but I would like to see what those things say.

Help me please???what do i do??
my ex broke up with me about 9 months ago and i still have feelings for him. recently he has come back into my life 'as a friend' he said. he said nothing has changed in my life since he last seen me. he is trying to get me to get another job and he is emailing me all these jobs to apply for and sending me his resume to use as a template and then he wants me to sent it back to him to review. he also called me three times at work and send me faxes. the first phone call was to see if i got to work safely as i had a car accident and had to get the train. my question is why would he go to so much trouble to help me? is this a normal thing that friends do for each other to this extent thjat he has gone to? is he wanting me to change for us to get back together?? is he wanting to see if we arent going to fight anymore?? what can i do do we can get back together??

I'm a stay-at-home mom with 2 kids.My eldest daugther is 11 and my son is 3 1/2 y/o. I'm having kind of problem with my son who seems to be afraid or just too shy with other people.He clings to me like velcro whenever we visit my in-laws,but I'm not having this kind of problem whenever we visit my parents.my in-laws tends to teaSE him constantly but when I tell him he's not in the mood they stop but still,our son seems to distant himself.I try to expose him to other people,I also notice that he has hard time expressing himself,he converse with us in english and not in our native tongue although and I think he is having a hard time absorbing everything because he's bi-lingual (not intentionally) he learned english from watching children show but I talk to him in our native tongue.I don't see anything wrong with his development just his behavior with my in laws.I need suggest on how to develop his behavior and about his ability to express his feelings

caught the boyfriend cheating. I kicked him out and told him to go back to the b$%#@ house. He's sitting out in the car. I also broke his cell phone. I'm really angry and would like to vent since he's very materialistic. He almost had a heart attack when he thought I was about to bust his t.v. should I cut up his clothes? And what really pisses me off is that I work full time and I'm going to school full time. I'm very attractive and meet people every day. And you know how I find out. I've been asking him every day where he's going even though he never knew I had his password for his cell phone. And then I kept seeing his car parked and every night I'd ask him where he'd go and he kept lying. And I kept smiling and telling him I hope he had fun, even though I knew he was lying. Like 2 days ago he said he was at a club, and I was like that's funny you don't smell like smoke. and he told me one of his friends loaned him a shirt. I was thinking of cutting all his shirts in half.

Hi,
I really like this girl at work, but she is a 3-4 yrs older than me... have not told her yet,,, but have given her hints by helping her in whatever way I can,, I just want to convey her that I like her & do not expect her to reciprocrate that. Thing is, I really really just want to see her happy, & if that person who will get an opportunity to make her happy can be me, than I would be really fortunate. I wish to tell her so many things, but really get nervous to realise what if she gets hurt by this.
Moreover, my friend, to whom I have told that I like her,always discourages me to talk to her, dont know why, & these days I have seen him being too friendly with her, which is really hurting me a lot. I know I might be wrong in getting hurt, but he even sometimes bumps into us when I have an opportunity to talk her. To me he keeps on telling that he does not like her, but when she is around, he becomes over friendly, which I really hate.
Really do not know how to handle this.
