I have been in the labor force for 40 years, and noone ever approached me to organize or join a union. I would have joined. This is why unions atr losing their influence. Also, if you are a Teamster, why did you support Rona;d Reagan, George HW Bush and George W Bush, when they have been the union busting presidents?

Hi there,hope i'm not bothering you.You won't believe what happened! i wrote so well it seemed like a miracle.It was evrything we discussed in the class,you don't know how excited i am to be relieved at last,only one subject left.

I've been thinking about what you said last time.I need to tell you something.The pic that i sent is not me,i honestly didn't have a pic of myself then.I look nothing like that.I'm new to this chat thing so i was a bit sceptical about it at first.Evrything is true about me except for that.Eish i feel so bad for doing that to you,pls forgive me.The other thing i'm not sure about you coming here,it doesn't seem right.Let's give it some time.You see i only wanted a friend,i don want us to rush.

If you want us not to continue anymore ,it doesn't matter(that will be fine with me).As much as i wanted to be your friend so much(i enjoyed chatting to u so much & i felt so relieved after chatting to you,your honesty & sweet msgs) it's gonna be a problem for me.I'm very sorry for wasting your time.Bye


San to Jwaly

Hi, I'm glad that you wrote well, i knew you were gonna do it, one more exam and you are home free, keep up the good work and continue studying hard.

I understand that you only want a friend and i honestly respect that, i don't want to pressure you into anything, you should do something because you want to do it, not because someone tells you to. But what i don't understand is why you lied about your picture, i mean you could have told me that you are not ready to show me how you look like, I think that's better than lying, the problem i have is a lot of people have lied to me time and time again, including my ex-girlfriend, she also took advantage of me by lying to me, and when someone lies to me, then it means that that person is taking me for granted and doesn't respect me. I liked you because i though you were a genuine person, i'm not so sure anymore. You have to understand that i value trust and honesty very highly.

Your last sentance "As much as i wanted to be your friend so much it's gonna be a problem for me", i'm not sure if you are saying its gonna be a problem if you are my friend or if it's gonna be a problem if you are not my friend. And it seems to me that you don't want us to continue chatting anymore "that will be fine with me".

I know that you only want a friend and i can be that friend, what i want is an honest person, that's all. I hope we can still chat tomorrow so we can discuss this further.

Good luck with your last exam tomorrow, you are gonna do great.

Till next time.

Polar bears have black skin to aid in keeping it warm.
Now if a polar bear is an animal that has adapted to cold climates but has black skin to aid in keeping it warm, then how have white people adapted to cold climate--with white skin?

Thanks. This isn't an attempt at racism. Just a mature discussion to be had.

I try SO hard, not to be so shy. I just don't understand how people can just start talking about things to anyone. I can't do it. I try to make myself not worry about others, and say whatever comes to my mind when I'm around them, I want to talk to people! But when I'm with people besides my friends absoluelty nothing comes to my mind to say. I feel like I've tried everything, I've even tried not trying and that just makes things worse. How do you just talk to random people? Like say at the register. Please help, I'm willing to take any advice!

I cared for this old lady 92 years old that had a son 60 years old.

She and her son are together on her keychain. She is with her son in other pictures when most husbands and wives posed together. She even has her hand on his lap. When I slept over her home, she would always call for her son, and wake me up and ask if he was around. They even went on trips around the world together.
They look so lovingly at each other when they are together, and she even gets her hair done, and make up on before he comes home from work! Tell me is this normal?

it seems to me sex is a very natural part of being human however many act as if it is worse then watching death. Our television shows regularly consist of graphic, evil and even cruel violence yet graphic un-violent sex is considered taboo. Hypocrisy? What are your opinions on this?

My grandpa hated his wife and his OWN sisters saying it out loud, and treating them badly. My uncle hated his own daughter and wife, and treated the sons better than the women. My cousin also hates women and treated guys better with more respect.
No. These men are not gay, or bi, but does hating women or sisters or nieces run in the blood or is this a mental illness?

I used to get grounded a lot and for long periods of time. I developed a reputation for never being able to go anywhere, and so now on most weekends I just sit at home. I desperately want to go out on the weekends, but whenever I get the chance, I get incredibly scared and sort of dread going out. I even sort of dread being seen by more popular people because I think they'll think I don't look good. Is it possible that I've developed social anxiety?

I witnessed a young man yelling and hitting a litte girl in the park. I confronted him. He called me many obscene things (I didn't care, I was worried about the girl). He took off with her in his car. I got his make, approx model and license plate number & reported it to the cops. I went to the station for three days. The cop didn't follow up. I reported it to CPS-nothing!
What else can I do?
