I have asked this sort of thing before, but this time it is for a term paper.

I was forced to raise a learning challenged little brother when I was too young to deal with that sort of thing. I was done parenting when I was about 10 years old. I sought, and succeeded in getting a vasectomy when I was 21.

Since then, I have been asked why I never had children, thousands of times. I have been accused of being “gay”, “communist”, "baby hater", "pervert" and so on, in the name of not wanting children around. This has been the case, even though I have dated at least a dozen women that have children over the last 20 years (since I had my vasectomy).

Of the people that know I have no children, I think I can count the number that didn’t “challenge” me (with rude questions) on my fingers. Why do you think they ask me in some “rude” manor, or label me?

The number of "challenges" have reduced in recent years. Do you think this is becuse the world has changed since 9-11?

...are we just there by chance, because of the process of evolution and countless fortuities? And if there was no purpose in the beginning, should there be a purpose anyway? What should this purpose be? Or is the main purpose in the end, as for all other things alive, just to survive? But why? For what?

Think about it and write your comment.

Would you raise your kids the way your parents raised you?
I mean would you follow the same parenting philosophy that your parents did?

Thank you for your time.

I have an old friend who's really nice n sweet but lately he's been acting differently and tried to hug and kiss often...I try to resist but at the same time try not to offend or hurt him...but i'm confused how to react. I'm not adverse to his approach but I don't think there's a future to this relationship!

About men,

What do men and mascara have in common?
They both run at the first sign of emotion.

What has eight arms and an IQ of 60?
Four guys watching a football game.

How do men exercise on the beach?
By sucking in their stomachs every time they see a bikini.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST.

How To Ask A Man To Do Something :
Always remember these six important rules when asking a man to do something:

Make sure the man is conscious.

Crash the hard drive on his computer and line the bird cage with the sports section.

Be brief! Limit your nagging harangue to two, three hours, max.

Reward him for cooperative behavior. Offer to cook him something that doesn't have a peel-back cover.

Punish him when he refuses to cooperate. Microwave his remote on high power for 55 minutes. Rotate 1/4 turn, and microwave again for another 35 minutes.

Use "would you" or "will you" instead of "you'd better" or "do as I say NOW"

I know he wont be happy with the idea at all, as he is in the Navy and will think we will never see each other. He also has a very low opinion of women in the forces thinking that they sleep around, how do i convince him i wouldn't do this???

Thanks in advance.

P.s. I've been to the Careers office, discussed with them, and know that i want to do this as a career so no answers saying 'have i thought this through' please.

Have any of you heard of the Epic of Gilgamesh.The Sumerian legend predates Noah’s story by at least one thousand years in the written form and at least five hundred years for the setting.It is remarkably similar(to the point of being identical) to the story in genesis.Could it be that this story in the bible was actually another copy?No,surely not....?

When I log on to the net my window is small and I have to click the "restore up" button to maximize it. I cannot for the life of me figure out where the setting option is to change this. I want my window to be full screen as soon as I log on.
