I live with my 3 sisters and mom.We have completely different interests and ideas.They are always opposing me. My mom and sister r always critisizing me.It's brining me down.I don't know how to draw anymore because I lack confidence in myself.I lost a job that I loved because of this. I feel like I hate them..I dont want to be in the same room with them.
I also don't have much friends. Although I believe I am a generally nice person.We've moved around alot so I havent been able to create bonds with anyone.I am a generally secretive person. It's difficult for me to open up to anyone. I finally managed to open up to a guy..we were together for two and a half years.. he proposed and we got engaged in the last year.Then he broke up telling me he wasnt ready for commitment.

Ive lost the only person I ever confided in. I don't know how to deal with my family.. I lost my job..and I dont have friends. I lost me.
How do I get out of this phase? I cry all the time. I'm desperate for help.

It came out many years ago and caused a big stir. It was about 900 pages long and essentially claimed that people can be ranked in order of intelligence by race. The authors claimed that overall, in terms of "smarts" folks could be ranked : #1 Asian #2 white #3 black.
Let me say at the outset I think their theory was ridiculous.
But something I noticed - in all the zillions of angry rebuttals, reviews, interviews, etc., not ONE I read even mentioned the main claim of the book - that Asians are naturally smarter than all others. Not a single person mentioned it or complained. The vast majority felt the book/theory was anti-black. Nothing was said about the claim of Asian superiority.
Isn't it just as bad (and racist) to claim that Asians are smarter as it is to claim that blacks are not as smart? Or is it because some people think it's ok to accept a stereotype that is positive? Seems to me a racist sterotype/theory is bad no matter who it's aimed at.
Any takers?

You know those funny photos you get emailed from your friends, usually people doing something odd or strange. Can I compile those in a book? I am assuming that there are some sort of copyright or license infringement. How do you find out where it originated? And how do websites get away publishing these photos?

What, exactly, is the difference between "people" and "persons"? I read in another post that "the" cannot be used before "persons." This particular person said that "the" implies singularity; I, um, didn't know that. So, saying "the persons in this room" would be incorrect?

I would like to buy one....it was a cassette tape when I listened to it. But I would not mind having a cd of it. We used to decorate our christmas tree and listen to that tape every year. I'd like to carry on that tradition with my daughter. (some songs on the tape were: Little drummer boy, Chip and Dale singing all I want for Christmas...) I believe the cover was red, but it's been a while since I've seen it.
Any help in locating a copy of this is appreciated.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City police are investigating a 20-year-old woman who allegedly tried to flush her newborn son down the toilet at a McDonald's restaurant after giving birth in the restroom.

Both the baby and the mother, a Kansas City resident who works at the McDonald's, were being treated Tuesday at a Kansas City hospital. Police said the child is expected to survive.

"Fortunately, the baby's fine," Capt. Rich Lockhart said. "The baby's at the hospital getting treatment. The mother's at the hospital getting treatment. We're investigating it."

I'm an a, although I'm popping out of my bra. Finally it looks like I actually have breasts so I'm happy with my bra, but I sleep in it because I am always in so much pain. It has been that way for a while. I thought it was cause it was growing. Does it have anything to do with the fact that I wear a bra everywhere except in the shower, cause I can't even go down the stairs without them hurting. Don't say there is something wrong, cause my best friend is the same way. PS if it helps at all I do have my period and stuff so its not like its coming they always hurt.

A man who shot his drinking buddy to death was too drunk to mean it, a Lexington jury concluded. The attorney who swayed the jury, colorful Kentucky politican Gatewood Galbraith, spoke exclusively to WLKY.com after the verdict.

"I thought it was a fair verdict. It’s certainly in accordance with the law, as the jury was instructed," Galbraith said. "There’s no evidence that there was murder. There was all kinds of evidence that it was exactly what they found him guilty of: second-degree manslaughter. It was a tragedy. But it was dealt with, I thought, at the proper level. I thought the father of the deceased was a class act, a class gentleman.”
