First off - I am so unsure of myself and mentally unstable I have no guts to talk to anyone (anymore). My husband has made me so self conscience, and afraid no one will take me seriously and I don't want to break down in front of someone, because my issues are about as emotional as they can be for a woman. I don't speak of them to anyone, not even a couselor because I'm afraid they will laugh at me and agree secretly in their head.

This is the major part why I am stuck in this situation. I am ashamed and embarrassed to the point of not talking to anyone about it, and my husband can turn this issue around on me. And people will agree with him...

I know I'm going to be told to get over and speak what is on my mind but I can't.... it's trying to tell God you are sleeping with his son... or something as terrible.

Can They make him leave? Can they put him in the dorms? I'm a mess and dont feel anything will be solved. I'm in Japan. If we were station in the US it wouldn't be so bad

I am ashamed to say I am not really up on politics. I am going to be voting in the new election. I would like this country to have a woman president but I always hear people saying she is not good for the job.

Why is this?

With nearly 47 million Americans, or 16 percent of the population without health insurance and that number continuing to rise every year as health care becomes more expensive, what are your issues against universal health care?

Countries that do have universal health care like Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Sweden, and the UK all have higher life exectancies and lower infant mortality rates. As well, they all have lower per capita expenditures on health care (several thousand dollars less per person), lower healthcare costs as a percent of GDP, and less money as a % or government revenuse spent on health care.

My feelings is that universal health care will be very hard to implement in the US as Insurance Companies and the Pharmaceutical Industry all have a great influence on our politcal parties.

Say you were getting attacked and you fight back and you end up killing the person that attacks you. Should u be charged with murder or just self defense. Do you think that self defense should be considered as murder. How does anyone know that it was self defense, you would be the only witness….

Find me interesting???? give me a star!!!

In school (for the last week or so) we've had to give a moment of silence after each pledge of allegiance each day, and I began wondering exactly what are we having a moment of silence each day for and is it really a law that requires it to be done. (in my honest opinion i would like to know what i'm giving a moment of silence to.)

I've asked many people in my school and it seems like no one really knows 100%.

I know they were arson if you look at the way they are spaced on the map and the places they started were all out in the desert where there was nothing else to set them off. I was warned on the internet that Al Quida would set fires all over the west this yr. do you think this could be the work of Al Quida?

I mean really.

As long as you look at it as entertainment it's fine. Don't use an important yahoo account with your email and you'll be fine. Expect to be suspended and move on.

Some at yahoo have some dumb idea that these things can be used for "discussion" and then they delete posts at the whim of some wilting daisy of the day. It's ridiculous.

"You can have a discussion but only use the words we like, the language we like, the attitutde we like, the inflections we like, the spelling and grammar we like. Any questions?"

This was built for one reason only, to keep you addicted and clicking for their advertising revenue only. They only make up this whole "community" garbage to lure in the ignorant.

My ex husband and I have a court order saying for my ex to have supervised visits (Teachers watching him but doesn't say that in court order just says "Supervised" he can visit from 2-5 at the daycare (where i WAS working) with a call from him 24 hours before he wanted to visit. We did that for about 8 months, then my oldest started Kinder, and he wasn't gettting out of school till 2:30. I had to leave work at 2, *VERY HARD TIME GETTING OUT* and then I had to come back and both my kid's were there in daycare till 5:30. My boss gave me a really hard time so she said it would be better if I change my hours till 2:00. So I was like um okay. So, I sent him a proposal to visit at mc donalds from 3-5 due to my scheudle change and oldest kid being in school, and for me to supervise him or someone I can find that might want to. He SIGNED IT AND I SIGNED IT, both have copies. He has done so for a year, no problems. He only comes 1-2 times a month though. Wasn't this a good proposal?

Call me naive, but why would his choices be any more news-worthy than anyone elses? Should I learn to karate chop and wear a bad toupee and then the world will listen to me?
I am a conservative and I do like Huckabee (not voting for him in the primaries though), but who gives a cr*p about what Chuck Norris thinks?
If he can't choose a decent toupee, what makes anyone think he can choose a Pres.?
Maybe I'm just being mean-spirited, and to all Chuck fans I apologize if it sounds that way.

Last night, I asked a question regarding your opinions about consumer rights to refuse search by the store. Shoplifting costs this nation $13 billion annually. I recognize the right for shopkeepers to limit shoplifting losses and see several methods to reducing shoplifting. One is to remove the incentive of shoplifting; however, as long as we live in a free nation with people who want what others have, there will always be an inventive to steal. Another possibility is removing the ability to shoplift. This could (unreasonably, but for an example) be accomplished by creating a physical barrier between the shopper and the merchandise. The third, and my favored punishment, is harsher penalties for shoplifters. In any case, even for 10 cent candy bars, jail time should be a distinct possibility. I can even go as far as making repeat offenses felonies (6 month prison terms per offense, perhaps). I’m tired of a few bad apples ruining my shopping experience by increasing prices.

Last night someone threw something about the size of a bowling ball at my husband's windshield. We called the police, a report was made and our insurance company is going to send someone out to replace the windshield. I had to drive my husband in to work today and I asked my daughter if the kid across the street bowls.(He's in middle school) She didn't know, but said that his elderly neighbor has bowling balls in her back yard. This of course raised a flag with me because we had a previous incident where rocks were thrown at our house and they came from the same kid's yard. I suspect things are happening because of my son being openly gay and he also has mental health problems, though he did move out about a month ago. I contacted the head of our board and am waiting for a reply from him, but I was just wondering what you would do in a situation like this. Would you casually approach the parents? I don't want to cause any problems, but I do want this to stop.

The last time he ran in South Carolina he told the people he was a supporter of the Confederate flag after the vote he told a different story. He said he was against everything the confederate flag stood for and only said he supported it because he said that was the only way he could win the primary vote now is this the man that anyone especially from the south would want to be their president. I am surprised that the other republican frontrunners such as Romney havent brought this up in their debates whats your opinion?
