This is a very general question and it can be about anything and everything, though I am not referring to one's outward appearances.

Beautiful is the sight of a newborn baby nestled in his/her mother's arms.

Beautiful is the friendship forged between two friends who are geographically apart but whose shared interests, shared traits make the distance inconsequential.

What is beautiful to you?

Sure, they're pretty faces and they represent the brand and all, but why are they being paid SO high? Why does a woman who just sits in front of the camera get paid more than a lawyer working their butt off, in some cases? What about their profession warrants their high salaries? What is it that they do that's so special? Are they just paid to be "beautiful"? I think that's utterly ridiculous, if not discriminatory.

Like, Suzy Parker being the first model to make $100 a day and $100,000 a year. And Linda Evangelista saying she doesn't get out of bed for less than $10,000. Why do they get multi-million dollar contracts with brands just to pose? They're not doing anything productive for society.

A friend of mine suffered abuse from the age of 5 until he was 14 (he is now 22) his abuser was his step father. He says he forgives his step father, but would never trust him again not even if he was cured. To be frank neither would I trust a paedophile no matter what they had done to be cured. The question is could you? Because ot the extra senative nature of this question i will report all those who leave abusive answers. Please only sensible answers for this sensative subject.

Truthfully, I have been so caught up in the 911 coverup that I've not lived my life for at least two solid years. I didn't get to live my life for 13 years before that because of marriage. I want to live now. What would be the first thing I should do to make a life change?

Recently, me and my workmates went to a clay pigeon shooting range, it was one of the many activities which we participated in there. One I took the loaded gun in hand, and aimed my shootgun at the disks zooming off into the air, I could familiarize myself with alot of 1st Person Shooter games and think like I was playing a game. In the end I managed 8/10 clay pigeons, taking into account I have never even held a gun in my life let alone fire one. So do you think this was pot luck? Or do you believe playing games does have advantages that can be taken into real life circumstances. And have you had any familiar experiances?

Thank You.

Both suicide bombers and money hungry working families have no or fewer children. Will their genes eventually be eliminated by the process of evolution?

Does anyone else have the ability to rewind their dreams and make it come out the way they like it? e.g. you got killed in your dream, rewind, change some stuff in the dream and you win in the end. As far as I can remember I've been doing this to my dreams and I just found out my dad can do this too!

each time I hear accounts of the students involved they are always honor roll students, always ones every one like. but never are they spoken of as hell raisers, bulleys, ones that have been suspended often, rebellious to authority. It seems that only these well liked scholarly ones are the only ones that be involved in car accidents wearing no seatbelts. For once I like to hear of some that fit that type involved in such accidents.

I didn't have many friends, and I was a shy, quiet kid. I guess i didn't have enough social skills. Many kids kinda snubbed me. They must have found me kinda boring. And many of them thought I wasn't smart enough to go to the university I got acceptance to. However, can I be different in college? I wanna be more confident, outspoken, sociable, and academically successful in college. The last 4 years of my life were pain in the butt, but I want the rest of my life to be so much happier. I need some guidance. Thank you.
