I am not the donor of the year, nor the most righteous but i normally contribute @least $10.00 here and there to Care , chrstian children fund, wrld food prgmm, Darfur ; whatever the name they come up with......... and my biggest question is if these NGO's are trully committed/ dedicated to eliminating poverty why do they keep on running the same ADs to make us empathize, guilty and prick our souls year in year out but they never run ads to show us what they have accomplished since they started asking for donations? I am not a very smart guy nor has a solution to this world wide epidemic, but i know something to do with the multiplier effect= that if this 1million charitable Org. do their job right we would have done away with poverty 100yrs ago.
Just give me a break... and pliz dont misunderstand my interest in the subject i know they contributetowards the needy; but why exploit the situations without the much needed results

I want to be more sociable, but sometimes I am really unsure what to say or what questions to ask. I was one very friendly and outgoing, but the older I get the more quite I have become. Any ideas for becoming more friendly with coworkers? I would like to develop some friends at work and I have tried to organize happy hour type events, but so far to no avail.

I've been looking for information on hemophobia (the fear of blood), but the only websites I can find only give me about two parargaphs worth of information. I need detailed information because a character in my novel is supposed to have an extreme case of hemophobia, and I want to write it properly. Can anyone please give me more info, or is the little bit of info I've found on websites all there is to this phobia?

My math proffesor told me if I get a haircut he would give me .5 points in the exam of tomorrow he told me " you decide it´s your choice" when I step out from that horrible place I felt that I didn´t have no hair I didn´t cut my hair since 9 months ago I liked my hair a lot and I know the only choice I have is to make a crown style hair I think I may pass the exam with 6.5 or 7.0 and he told me " well if you don´t cut your hair I will not help you on your exam you will suffer " I´m kind of sad of losing my hair also the director punish me in kind of joke on cutting my hair I´m semiprepared for that exam and it´s i called in my country an extraordinary exam ( when you fail a subject on the semester you go to an extraordinary exam I don´t know if in America too but whatever did I made a good choice ???

Remember, please, this is very hypothetical, don't ask me if I'm in such situation because trust me, I'm not. =) Just wondering cause I know people that have gone and are still going through it.

I admit that I don't like sarcasm and I cannot understand why so many people here write sarcastic and non-informative answers even to perfectly normal questions. Is it really that necessary to offend someone and/so as to sound superior? Serious answers please. Thank you.

I know we all have those intuitive moments in life. But I can't help but feel a little freaked out when random things that I think or dream about come true. When I was a kid this used to happen all the time but it was just little things that I never really paid attention to. But here lately they have been becoming crazier. I wont go into detail but I once had a dream with two young children and an abusive father I was trying to help the deceased girl to let go. A couple days later on the news was a story about a father who killed his two children coinicidence maybe but my gut says no. Then a couple days ago I thought I might have to take a random drug test soon. (if you play a sport at my school you can be selected to take the drug test) this seemed really silly to me at the time cus the tennis season is over but then out of nowhere I got the slip in 1st hour to go to the clinic and give a sample! If these arent coincidences how can I become more in tune with these phsycic feelings?

I walk down the street unconsciously
listening to sounds of life.

In this city I'm a stranger and in
mine I'm uninvented guest.

For so long, I have a flower of this existence
afraid to plant it
strange land this is you ask
years of walking on a 2 left no heart
like a ghost

like a phantom
I gave the people what they wanted
Learning for any self a mask and a
paper heart

And i'm tired
I'm tired wanting answers to questions not asked of

So i walk without turning back I wonder
Do only tops of a mountain deserve to be warned by the sun.

Do only birds have rights of the blue sky

I am not a birds nor do i have wings

but who said I don't want to fly?

i have a dream that this nation will stop w/ the steriotype.
I have a dream that ppl will not see white ppl as racist, or the asians as smart ppl, or see the black ppl as gangsters. i have a dream that ppl will realize that just because of someone's race does not make them like everybodyelse in that one race.
i have a dream that ppl will come to their senses and notice that they can be prejudice, and change their ways. i have a dream today.
i have a dream that ppl will stop being pressured from being expected to be something they are not, depending on race/ethnic.

I read that usually your born with your IQ and it stays in that range. But does it ever grow over time? For example, would your IQ be higher after you finish college than before college?

I do not understand while the majority of black youth find the urban/hiphop cultue cool. I feel that that it reprisents the everything gone wrong or bad in black america. And its not a racist thing i guess whites have the same thing on a certain level like jeff foxworthy and larry the cableguy(both are complete tools) But the majoraty of white people dont like them. But this so called hip hop culture(thug) is disgusting to me as i would think it would be to anyone with any sense of community.
