Check out this guy. Apparently he's got more lives than a cat, and he did survive (he was knocked out by debris after being indirectly hit by lightning!)

I know there are many words for "stupid."

In my freshman German class, I was told by my teacher that if you are calling someone stupid (so a person), then you are supposed to use "dumm."

I.E.
Du bist dumm.
Not
Du bist blöd.

So today in my sophomore German class, the sentence was "He is stupid."
My teacher wrote "Er ist blöd."
So I asked about whether or not you can use blöd to describe a person.

So basically, what's proper? Does it not matter? Was my first teacher right?

Hi,
I'm a 16 year old female who's parents recently split up. Grade 9 i was a perfect student, then i began to party and get into drugs when my parents split up. I continue to do drugs and party. However, I feel like I can have the best day in my life and come home and be extremely angry all of the sudden. I have So much hate towards my family it is unreal. I dont really stay at my moms, she has a boyfriend in the states which she left my dad for so she isn't home often, and when we do speak she takes complete advantage of me. I dont know what is wrong with me? Why can't i get over my parents not being together? Many people go through it and get over it, and I just can't seem to, it is always on my mind and makes me cry at least 3-5 times a week. Whats the problem?

rightly or wrongly, hitler had the guts to make a stand for what he believed in, so did the IRA. im ex army, and did two tours of ulster, so dont accuse me of sympathising. so did many more people in history. people with courage, as i say right or wrong. why then in the so called GREAT britain today, we have no one. we let the country be overrun and crippled by immigration, were oppressed by our leaders, we have no freedome of speech, our rights are eroding daily, and us so called GREAT british people, who once ruled half the world, sit and take it. we used to have an empire, now all we have is a dustbin, and were just holding the lid down instead of being brave. why????

My bf and I are both in our late 20s and very independant. Before we met, I had a job in Eastern Europe. I really miss working overseas. We plan to marry in a year or two. I never knew love could be like this - he's amazing. I still travel a lot by myself as well as with him, but the trips are shorter. (His job doesn't give him much travel time; mine does.)

I now have a dream opportunity to work in Africa for three months next year. He would meet me there at the end to travel for 5 weeks together. He trusts me 100% and says if this is what I want, he supports me fully. My parents say I should go and really, what's 3 months of our lives?

However, we've had comments from a few friends. He tells them our relationship is none of their business, which is great. But it made me think - is it wrong of me to want to take this job even when he can't join me? Does a relationship mean I should give up my dreams? These comments are upsetting me! Any opinions are appreciated. Thank you!

Are we not to stand strong in Faith? And if so then why aren't you? It is not that far to walk, are you just afraid. Not saying I have not had a lot of weak moments. But we are to be what we are. We are Strong. Let our Strength show in our Faith. God is not failing us, so therefore lets not fail Him

The agency is called gc services and they said they are willing to get rid of my finance charges and late fees if i pay half of the debt i owe. I originally owed them $3000 but they said if i pay 800 now and pay them back the rest within three months that it will clear up the debt owed to citi bank. This is my first time doing something like this so i accepted the deal and i have until two days to pay them the 800 but i got a statement today saying that i will be making the payment for eight hundred and they still have my original balance i owe them the 3000 and no mention of the deal we made on the phone so i got scared and went and took all my money out of the account. Are they trying to screw me?

I have a 2006 325xi and it has one serious problem that negates all of the other good things it has.

When you demand sudden acceleration, the car hesitates for about 3 seconds and then goes. The dealer can't do anything about it, not even the factory rep. I think the car is dangerous to have that, what happens when you try to pass, or left turn with on coming traffic? This is not good engineering.

If you go over a 2 inch bump, the suspension will bottom out.

I personlly think they are over-rated.
