This is not a racist question but a multicultural one. I have met many people from various backgrounds. indo-europeans, italian americans, afro americans, chino europeans etc. however i have never met a black japanese person. I am lead to believe that the japanese are not very multi cultural and therefore it is hard to be accepted into their families. therefore as there are no endogenous black people to the islands of japan, does this cultural group exist?

"hump"?

Many a times I have had females with fine posteriors back up into me on accident, sometimes even bend down, in front of me a few inches short of my pelvis.

I always move away to give them space, but I feel if I was not conscious or drunk(loss of judgement), I would "hit it", so to speak. ;p

Is it a natural instinct?

Let's face it, there are days when we don't feel like being our usual self, when we wanna do something different for a change. Let your hair down, let everything hang out, be the devil for a while.

What do you normally do when you're the devil, and isn't it just absolutely fun, fun, fun? Or do you feel guilty afterwards?

I've forgiven several people in my life (sometimes it was very difficult), but it felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I wonder if anyone else had the same experience. Thanks!

All the time I worry for something...that might never happen....even though I'm very attractive, smart, good person, I have good moral values....I don't appreciate my self so much...instead I always stay very calm and sad...even when I'm out with friends...I used to be very open and easy going...know i'm so mature, so normal...I just can't get this feeling. What to do to change this attitude? I really don't have a reason to feel sad...exept the fact that I'm single...but there a lot single people who live their lifes...and don't wait someone else to make them happy.
any advice, thanks.

I started about June, July last year, and since then I haven't been able to stop. Usually maybe three times a week, sometimes less if I try to stop, sometimes more if there are alot of "influences" around. I want to stop it so my conscience can be clear, and I can forget about it. I know it's not bad for your health, but for my own inner self I want to stop. How can I do it? How do I avoid things, like movies or pictures, that make me more prone to do it? I want to REALLY break this habit, but it's so hard. Please help!

I know the definition of disability - basically something that hinders function - but I'm looking for opinions of 'real' people and not specifically those involved with psychiatry, psychology, or social security. If you are involved with these feilds, I still welcome a response. I just don't want those who aren't to discredit their own opinion and not respond.

1 - Would you consider someone who has depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, constant suicidal ideations, or a personality disorder as a person with a disability?

2 - Would your opinion change knowing that the person either can or cannot function adequately independently, either with activities of daily living like showering, preparing a meal, or running errands, or with larger scale responsibilities such as finding and maintaining employment or tending to finances.

3 - What is the social stigma of mental illness and what contributes to this (besides the media, tv, movies, music)?

Do you think that the government should change American currency to make it easier for the blind to distinguish? This could cost the country up to 200 mil. dollars. Should that amount of money be spent in other areas?
