and attacking another country for religious purposes and then taking away all of our constitutional rights and freedoms based on a so called war on terrorism? Can we really approve of that and did we actually capture any of the so called terrorist or are they getting stronger and stronger behind our backs and still in hiding? So where is the President where is the leadership of America? Should we continue to even call this America since it does not seem to respect its own constitution any longer? I wonder? How can we win under these circumstances what is it that we are winning? If we lose in Iraq why can't they can blame Bush? How can we win, but if we win why will they will look like pansy's, and who are the pansy's is this just some so called right wing christian fundamental propagandic stand?

What if I don't believe the labels that psychologists have given me?
To sum up, apparently:
- I have ADHD (Inattentive type, not Hyperactivity)
- I am gifted ("Very Superior" intelligence)
- I have a learning disability (memory, processing shite)
- I have clinical depression.

By a simple multiple choice Internet-quiz-like test, my psychologist said I had ADHD. What?!? how does that work?

Mostly I don't believe the learning disability (LD) bit.
Did the psychologist even consider the other problems as being the causes of those wonky results, not simply some weird genetic flaw?

What do you think?!

The first time my daughther saw me change my son's diaper she asked me why his bladder is on the outside. i said it's not his bladder it's the sac that holds his seed that when he grows up will go into the mommies egg and make a baby. It just confused her and Now she calls it his egg sac. It was super embarrassing one day when she told another kid "my brother has an egg sac" LOL like he's a spider or something. What funny or embarrasing things have your kids done or said?

On Page 1691 of the Oxford English Dictionary the word Magick appears. The first use they list in literature is John Milton's Comus. Since I don't have an e-text of Comus, I went looking at some modern text. In the version being published now, they have changed Magick to Magic.

The reason I was looking in the first place is that I'm sick of the--Never do research just be negative about anything Pagans write--Christians. I was going to use the OED cite and an excerpt from Milton to prove Crowley did not insert Magick into Paganism. It's been in use since much earlier times.

An aside, Chaucer uses the spelling Magicke in the 14th century.

Senator Kucinich has proposed a Department of Peace... to study ways of interacting globally with diplomacy. We already spend trillions of dollars on the War Department.. and nobody's saying we'd dismantle our defenses.. tell me what is so stupid about trying to plan for peace? Maybe its time we grow up, leave the cave behind, and stop hitting each other with sticks and stones. We live in a very small, very fragile world and war takes our youngest and best hope for the future

So I'm 13, and i was in Kindergarten, 1st grade, 6th and 7th in the same school. For 8th grade I'm going to a different school. My old school (the one I want to file the suit against), is a Catholic private school in Chicago.

I'm not trying to be vain, but I know that I have a beautiful voice. I do professional singing at a very prestigeous classical vocal studio. I sing at a college level and numerous adults and children say I have a beautiful voice. That of equal to, and greater than an adult.

So anyways, the reason I want to file a law suit against the school, is racism and prejudice. I am East Indian, and a Hindu.

Two years in a row, I did not make it in the school musical. Producer: Middle School religion teacher (from my school)
Conductor: Middle School music teacher (from my school)
Coreographer: 2nd grade boy's teacher (from my school)
Director: An actor friend of the rest of those people

All of those people are white Christians.

The first time, in 6th grade, when I was not selected, I didn't have my mom call and ask why I didn't get a role. I just had to deal with it, but I was depressed for two weeks straight.

The second time, I'd had enough. I did make my mom call the director. The director said I wasn't funny enough and I did not act well. That cannot be true because at all my other schools, I had always gotten the lead role because I've been taking drama classes since I was 5 years old. She even said herself that my voice is better than her own, and she does have a great voice. And honestly, my voice is better than hers. She also heard me sing during religion class when I sang "Ave Maria".

The annoying this is, that everyone expects me to get the lead role because I sing and act so wonderfully. People always have a smile on their face when I walk out of the results room because they are confident that I got a great role...and they are disappointed when I don't. I'm talking about my classmates.

All of the people who got lead rolls, usually either have their parents bribe the musical comittee into giving them a lead roll. Or they're just really "popular" kids, or they have other generations of their family go to that school, donate a lot of money to the school, or are the children of faculty/staff of the school. Mostly, they're all white Christians.

The only non white, non Christian girl who got the role of Elsa in the Sound of Music, was an East Indian Hindu. But there were some differences. She was super super popular, and nice, and she was the vice president on the student council. She also would never admit a whole lot that she was Hindu...like she was ashamed of it. She would never tell anyone unless they seriously asked, and all the teachers liked her. Like, in religion class, if a teacher put down my religion, I would stand up for my religion. This girl would not.


So I'm seriously guessing it's racism or/and prejudice.

And I'm not overrating myself. I do have a beautiful voice, and I can act. People are always stunned and speechless after I sing and act. And they're always MUSICALS, so you'd think music is the key thing there. I also have a TON more experience than the other kids. I sing in English, Italian, Russian, German and Latin. I have nearly 30 songs in my portfolio, and in just two years of classical training, I've come a LONG way. I'm the youngest person in the studio. All the rest of the people are just out of college.

So what do you think?

Could I possible file a law suit against that school for alleged racism or something like that?

Please, only serious answers!

Sorry this took so long!

I don't think i'm too old. Of course i don't like getting spanked, but i don't see how it's any worse than other forms of punishment, and whenever i get spanked i always behave well for a while afterwards! But anyway, i got spanked recently, and i mentioned it to my friend, and he freaked! He said i was way too old to get spanked, and how it's sexual abuse at my age. He told me to call the police on my parents, and he said that spanking is primitive and barbaric and that it's a terrible form of violence, and that my parents must be living in the dark ages if they still spank. He said that my parents ahve no right to discipline me, and i shouldn't have to listen to them. He's never been spanked (and as far as i know never disciplined at all!) but sometimes i think he could use it, he's always been spoiled rotten, he never listens to his parents, and he even smokes and drinks alcohol! I don't see why spanking is inappropriate at my age, but most people seem to. What do you think?
