Recently, I've been getting/feeling annoyed with my school/classes, friends, family, and EVEN my cat has annoying tendencies. I don't think I'm depressed and I don't want to see a shrink.....

Like, when someone comes up to you and calls you a loser or other names, knocks you down when you do good..etc..

Or for even those people who give you dirty looks or talk about you right in front of you?

Kill 'em?

because 'there are plenty of examples of ppl changing their circumstances [ie getting rich] if they want to'?

$500,000/hr is not unjust [dangerous wrong unjust theft extreme overpay democracy-destroying freedom-destroying state-destroying empire-destroying poverty-causing misery-causing extinction-causing war-causing] because more than one get rich?

a number got rich therefore everyone is equally free to get rich? the only reason everyone doesnt get rich is they dont desire to, or they are too 'lazy' to? [theyd rather moan about being poor & begging for handouts instead of 'getting off their ***'?]

we have equal opportunity, because some get rich?

$1/fortnt has equal opp with $1bn/ftnt?

a number get rich, therefore there is no overpay/underpay, overpower/underpower?

the rich get richer & the poor get poorer only because the rich work proportionately harder & the poor work prop.ly less & less?

bill gates is working a billion times harder/hr than the lowest paid?

Today, with so many single mothers, (of all ages) and so many biological fathers living like single men, I wonder where feminism has taken us. Now women still carry and raise the children, but have to work outside the home as well, while men's duties have only decreased. It's as if men have manipulated feminism into giving them what they want. Did we really 'take it to the man', or merely play into his game? Do you agree?

There are many known single-parent families, where the remaining parent had to go out to get a job to support the family, and quite successfully raised children who had a healthy well-being, well rounded, succeeded themselves. And yet, many still fear a woman going out to work if she's married.

After WWII, there were many women who had to go out to work, thus discovered a life outside the home. Some of their children didn't turn out well, and yet we have to admit many did.

I don't beleive it's the women working that turns out people such as murderers, rapists, theives, codependent people, stalkers, insecure people, suicide victims, drug dealers, hookers, pimps, alcoholics, etc. I beleive it's the well-being of the parents, single or married, which determines the outcome of the child.

If the parents, are healthy, open-minded, creative, teachable, goal-oriented, teaches good values, virtues, etc., to their children, their children will grow in to good adults. Why the fear?

With all the interracial mixing happening in the world, I have a strong belief that most humans will have mixed to become a color between white and black.

I've been reading a lot about the "Bell Curve" and all that, and it's really quite distressing.

There are a lot of studies out there that allegedly show that most black people are just naturally and genetically inferior to most other races- as far as intellect goes.

Do you think that's true? Do black people, even when sharing the same culture as your own, strike you as stupid?

I'm black, and honestly, I almost cried when I read about this. I value my grades and my intelligence and make straight A's. I score above average in IQ tests and I really, REALLY have a hard time believing that I'm some type of REALLY rare anomaly.

Most black people that I come in contact with really don't strike me as unintelligent, not even when we're doing school work...but these studies are trying to tell me otherwise.

How do you feel about this, and do you really think it makes a difference? :(

What do you think about your choice of animal says about your personality?

I would choose either a Galapagos Giant Tortoise because they live peaceful sedantry lives and live to nearly 200 years or maybe a giant catfish because they look cool and with there face of whiskers.

It seems like it's the taboo thing to say in public (think Larry Summers of Harvard), but I would say it is pretty obvious that men and women generally good at different things, yet the femmes seem to hate the idea. What are your thoughts?

There is this girl that I share a class with and we have to sit beside each other because there are assigned seats. Every time we're sitting together her legs are apart (in an open posture) and they start shaking up and down and she's always callig to people across the room, calling attention to herself. She doesn't have any kind of mental or physical disorders, I was thinking maybe it was nervousness, what do you think?

It is a fact of life that men are born more powerful than female. With that in mind, it could depend on the sport.

Sports that do not require power could be played against both sexes. But you cannot in power sports, such as, football, tennis and golf.

What do you think? What are the differences between both male and female?

Have you originally had a conversation, thinking that the other person was alright until they started showing annoying habits or mannerisms? What little things drive you crazy?

For me, I'd say:

*Mouth-Breathing (especially combined w/ bad breath)

*Staring too intently

*Overdoing the "yeah"s and "uh huh"s while I'm talking

*Interrupting me mid-sentence and then the person and I have to practically coerce each other to finish what they were saying.

*Too much creepy smiling and nervous laughter

*Talking too loudly or clearing their throat too much

*Being too eager to become my friend

*Swearing excessively, I mean, I don't even know them.


Yes, I'm bored. So post what little things will prevent you from initializing another conversation with somebody you're around a lot.
