I'm going to sing the National Anthem at a military ball and you can tell that my voice is shaky like I'm nervous, but I'm really not.

Is military might or economic strength more vital for a nation to be a superpower?

The United States is currently "the" superpower. China is quickly making its way to being a superpower. Would China be where it is today if it had been as miliaristic as the Soviet Union or the United States. Yes, they have a huge military but they seem to do a good job of not threatening other countries. I think economic strength comes first.

That Hispanic men are infatuated with white women because over the course of centuries, it was Hispanic women who spurred Hispanic men and actively seeked white men? This led young men to believe that white is ultimate and therefore white women are.

The school that I go to, there a lot of wealthy people (the majority) and I am not very wealthy, you could say just regualar people. But I always tend to fall for the guys with a lot of money and we are fine at first but then they act different when we get to know eachother. They always go for the rich stuck-up girls and I dont know what to do. I cant help liking who I like and they are nice people but what do I do?

I'm a very proud virgin and it definitely boosts my ego and makes me feel cool and sexy inside and out. I think it's just plain gross to give it up to someone that's not your spouse. (Granted people's past mistakes doesn't mean they can't change and put it behind). How could someone possibly think it's something to be ashamed of? And I hear some people say "Oh yeah I've only been with 6 people?" and I'm thinking "ONLY 6 people?! WTF?!?"

And men, I speak for many chicks when I say that you're not going to impress me by being promiscuous but quite the opposite. You lose my respect and you turn me off. And you wanna impress the ladies, right? A guy is a dork if he's involuntarily a virgin but if he's VOLUNTARILY a virgin then he's cool and sexy.

OK, what happened was in 7th period, my stupid teacher made me soooooooooooooooooooooooooo embarrassed ON PURPOSE. She knew what she was doing, she just wouldn't shut up. So, I started talking back to her and she still wouldn't stop. By the end of the day, i cried. ( i waited til i got home though...) Anyway, i really don't wanna go back to school on monday. What do i do to get over this? I know it seems really bitchy but i am really sensitive and she knows that. So what do i do to just face Monday? Please take me seriously.

Lately, I have been lonely and have been alone more than I like (I am a person that feels a need to be around people). And I think I am being put in situations to have to overcome this need, but I don't make good use of my time when I am alone and find myself getting depressed and wasting time trying to motivate myself to do things on my own.
Do you guys have any suggestions of how to make best use of my time when I am not around people?

I see it in hockey fights, everyone cheers when two players get in a fight. Then everyone cheers more when even more players get involved. Why do we like violence on TV and in sports?? Is it the adrenaline?

Sometimes family members just do not give you the support you need, what's the best way to deal with it?

I carry a gun everywhere I go so I can kill anyone who may kill me. I actually do not care if I die as long as I am able to kill the person who killed me. Like if I was shot and dying I would not mind having to die if I was able to get off a shot and kill my attacker. What kind of brain do I have? Is this kind of thinking indicative of a certain type of personality disorder?

I had a lady at a college look at it. It appears to be from Chert and she thought from the end era of the dinosaures. It resembles being partially carved like an eagle head. The crown has a crystal like quartz shell in it. An old Indian gent said it probably belonged to a medicine man and that it was lost, as he would probably used it a lot in healing. Then I took it to another guy at a college and he said oh just limestone, nothing......I wonder? Whata ya think? junk or treasurer?

I have a teenage son who is going to turn 17 soon. He is a very nice and lovable young man, loved by his friends and his teachers.
He is an American-Russian kid, into music -metal/rock-, doing great at school and having good time here in the US.
However, Mexican kids and their friends keep trying to start fights with him for no reason. Sometimes they make fun of his English accent. My son keeps avoiding them not because he is weak - He is a well built kid - but because he does not want to get in any kind of violent act.
Do not get me wrong people. I have nothing against Mexicans or any other Hispanic people, they are nice and decent. However, what is going on with some kids there.
Me myself I am an American-Russian woman. However, some of us were born somewhere else and have accents.
Again, my friends don’t get me wrong just answer me: what is going on?
Many thanks for your kind answers.

My best friend has a tough life and mine is really easy; I want to help her out but really can't do anything but listen, and I feel like this is driving us apart.

For example, she battles an eating disorder and self injury, issues of past abuse (in several manners), is worried about maintaining her employment status, isn't sure she can afford to go to college, can't afford the medicine that she needs to take, and has to help her family through financial troubles even though they waste a lot of their own money on themselves and she has hardly any.

In contrast, I've never been employed and I'm going to college through a combination of scholarship programmes and my parents' financial foresight (they were fortunate enough to set up a low-tuition programme for me). Plus I generally get along with my family, haven't ever been abused or suffered from an ED, and generally lead a great life.

What should I do?
