I am a very, very ethical person. (Skip all that perspective stuff, I know, thats true, but aside from that) This is a case where I am kinda iffy on something. See, here is what happened. Long story short, some guy was making fun of another smaller guy for being Jewish, picking on him, etc. I stood up for him, and confronted the other guy. Well, he wasn't pleased. So now he and his group like hate me, and he does things like throw rocks at me when teachers aren't looking, stuff like that. I basically plan on waiting for the right moment, situation and such to arise, and to in short beat the living sh-it out of him. What do you think. I'm not one to fight at all, I've never been in a fight my life except when someone stole and I tackled them to stop them.

Thesis Title: "The effects of the male student's to the interpersonal skills of the female students"

Our school was known to be an exclusive school (college level) for girls but it started accepting male applicants last year, and I would like to discuss the advantage and disadvantage and how it would affect the interpersonal/human/social skills of the female students.
Please give me a theory/model that would help support my thesis. Thank you.

My Crush emailed me this message. I'm having a hard time figure out what his true feelings are towards me. He emailed me this message after I told him that I'm only his friend nothing more. What is he saying in Guy Language? Does he still like me?

There won't be any awkwardness from my end when you come visit. I just thought that a couple of the messages seemed like we were more than friends, b/c afriend wouldn't tell me not to hook up w/any girls, ya know? I'm looking forward to seeing u and meeting your friends when u come out. My buddies from the East Coast will be there too, and its one of my friends 21st b-day, so its sure to be a great time. No hard feelings on my end, just had a bad day when u sent that message, so i went off. i'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.

See ya soon!

My dad died of cancer when I was 8...(I've basically dealt with it) and my mother died last year after a really hard battle with cancer. I'm 19, on my own, and scared. Christmas is coming up and all my friends are with their families and I feel left out. Tomorrow I'm going to my boyfriend's family's house and I'm mad at him! I hate the fact that they have something I can't ever have again. Is this wrong? Should I still be feeling this way? It seems like I should be doing better by now. For the most part I'm ok. But sometimes this stuff just eats away at me. I miss my mom so much and I don't think I've coped properly. Is there anyone that can shed some light on the subject? I feel lost.

then why do a lot of them continue to keep having child after child, ignoring their financial situation? Tax payers should not have to support people who can have 8 kids but too lazy to get jobs.

I have a horrendous time talking to just one person as I stutter and forget everything I want to say, or have HUGE trouble thinking of how to say what I want to say.

However, I am good and normally complimented when having to speak to a group of people.

Why is this?

Why do you think that way? Alone meaning you have only minimal day to day interaction with people, such as a transaction at the bank or buying groceries, but nothing outside of that. I'm interested to hear what people have to say.

I know they're second-hand goods, and as such, the sale does not increase GDP. This makes sense to me, since GDP measures production during the current period, and the paintings were not produced in the current period.

But what's bothering me is that GDP is also said to measure income during the period, and when the paintings are sold, they count as income for somebody.

So how do those rascally varmints explain this away?

GE has developed a method to evaluate job performance that is being implemented in other companies and in the hospital where I work. The system requires that 10% of the employees be given a "0" for job perfermance each quarter. This translates into no pay increase. 5% may be given a "5" which translates into a 5% pay increase. 5% may be given a "4" which translates into a 4% pay increase. 75% may be given a "3" which translates into a 3% pay increase. There are no "2" or "1" categories. The only mandatory category that supervisors are required to assign is the "0" category. Personally, I find this system very unfair. In a department where everyone is doing their best, some will receive a "0" for their efforts, and only a few will really be rewarded for their hard work. What are your thoughts on this. Are mandatory zeros legal? I would certainly like to hear the opinion of a lawyer

I recently got an office job in an expanding company. Although I was hired soley for the position, another coworker has been assigned to work with me temporarily until her actual dept gets up and running. Thing is, she has taken it upon herself to attack me verbally, misrepresent me to management, be the center of every conversation to the point of talking right over the top of me, and speak condescendingly to me (name calling). Why should this be happening when ultimately I'm no competition for her?? What should I do about her until she finally moves on??

I am a young teenage girl who gets kidnapped by five men. However, right when I get pulled into the car an older man, in his mid-30's, comes to help me.

These men run over him, but are afraid so they kidnap him as well. I get scared, and the man comforts me.

The five kidnappers drive to a boat near the shores of Florida, and push myself and this man onto it. Suddenly, we are trapped, and the men declare that I am the only important thing on the boat.

So they stick the man in a tiny room while I am molested and beaten. When they are done, they stick me into the same room with the man, who again comforts me and tells me all is well.
I am scared, but I am also attracted to the older man.

He treats me as a father would treat a daughter, and we are on the boat for over 3 months.

My dreams are never finished, however, and I never find out whether or not we are rescued.

Is there a way to make my unconcious mind finish the dream? What do you think it means?
