I wasn't sure what to put this in so I'm puttin it in bunches of places... But I need help really bad. I was chatting with a friend on yahoo, and she jokingly said she was going to kill me, so I said I'd bring the knife for her to do it... so as a joke i brought a pocketknife to school (bad joke, I'm getting that now) and showed it to her (blade closed). of course she laughed, but anyways... another friend took it and put it in his pocket (I had a hard time explaining to the office why I let him, but he's a good friend & i knew he would return it anyways). But anyways he got the knife, and then a couple hours later another friend in our little circle kicked him in the balls... and he drew the knife on him, in class, blade still closed though. whether it was an accident or not is open to interpretation, but anyways another student saw it and got scared and told the principle... and one way or another they figured out it was my knife.will continue w/ an add-on.

There are less women in high political positions and economic positions as men and they tend to be underpaid but aren't men equally discriminated on a whole.
1. Men are required to sign up for selective service.
2. Women receive lighter sentences than males and are less likely to be sentenced to the death penalty for the same crime.
3. Child custody and divorce laws tend to favor women more than men.

So as a whole arent men and women equally discriminated?

you to feel as though you need to have tons of personal space? Especially from your spouse? I used to love being around him, near him, touching him...now I cringe when he touches me, I pull away from his embrace. I have been diagnosed with depression, but I'm not in a depression right now. He's noticed this, and it makes him feel unloved. I don't want him to feel that way, so I make an effort, but it's a huge effort. When it comes to my daughter I want to cuddle with her all the time, I can't get enough affection from her. With any other people, my parents, friends, I don't like them in my personal space. What's wrong with me?

I keep having pre cognitive dreams and it's starting to worry me a bit. This is happeneing more often now and I am writing them down. I have the dream but the event dosen't take place for a good few months or even a year. It's just random everyday stuff, they are not really warning me of anything. Has this happened to you or do you have an explanation for it?

Imperial capitalists must killed off tribal people for the fact tribal people would not be dependent on a social market place as they can sustain themself. Not to mention they would not believe in property tax and such.

Sure there is more to the picture, but Ill omit the essay.

What is your thinking?

One of my family members has had CT quite a while ago. The problem is not the incident itself, but what happened afterwards: while there was not much physical or mental damage, it would be OK withlots of exercises and healthy food. So we tried to be very supportive and put our own work aside to help the family member with whatever the doctors and specialists ordered us to do, changed eating habits, etc. But despite all the efforts, refusal kicks in. Exercises have come to a complete stop, nothing seems interesting any more. Everything is boring/asks too much effort, quiting/running away from it (going to sleep) is the solution. We keep pouring energy in it, it's frustrating, but what I hate the most is the plain arrogance and egoism that... the member started developing a deep habit of "me me me, all for me!" and "you do it!". Teaching, saying how you feel, asking to listen/to keep focused, etc. is useless because is BORING...
How do I keep coping with this???

Describe three ways in which the Federal Reserve can change the money supply.
If the Federal Reserve is going to adjust all of these tools during an economy that is growing too quickly, what changes would they make?
If the Federal Reserve is going to adjust all of these tools during an economic recession, what changes would they make?
What changes, if any, to the current condition of these tools would you make at the next meeting of the Federal Reserve? Explain why and the benefits/drawbacks of this strategy.

They tell you you're the perfect guy, that normally they can find something wrong with the guy but you're different. And they say they like you ALOT, but they still go after the guy who is dating someone else, who they still have feelings for. The way I see it that makes the decision rather simple. If the guy you like is dating someone else, and there is another guy who you think is perfect right in front of you, what's there to question? I personally think it was a cop-out of the relationship, but who am I to know for sure.

I have a disability and live in chronic pain. I am so frustrated by how those of us with 'unseen' problems are treated.

Most disabilities are NOT obvious. It seems people expect them to be; be in a wheelchair, or one's mobility so impared it's obvious; then they 'approve'. How arrogant! I have only so much activity I can tolerate a day, so I have to conserve this.

A person's medical condition is b/n them and their Dr. I get dirty looks when I park in the handicap space, and ugly comments. 'It doesn't look like anything's wrong with you!',or 'You don't look handicapped to me'.

I couldn't walk a year ago. After intense treatment, I get about with strict limitations.Though I still live in chronic pain, it's worse when walking. I didn't care about my apprearance and was very depressed.
I finally improved on this, and appear 'normal'.I guess I should appear on death's door to qualifty to park here. (I use my hc tag)
All due respect, most in w.c.'s aren't in pain, so curb access

In other words, my grandparents had a great social life even in poverty and had to have guts to meet eachother and have kids and all. and then to raise kids ( my father, uncles, etc) who are so talkative and outgoing.

And me, the grandson is nothing but a quiet shy person who wil have no family ever cause he doesn't even have a gf or meet anyone. My social life doesn't exist. i'm 27 now.

Anyways, the question is.. why is it that my parents and grandparents have a healthy social life but i'm just a nobody. I would think genes have a n influence on offspring, but apparently not on me.

I don't have friends, never had. no gfriend, no nothing. I rarely opened my mouth when i was a kid and i'm soo bad at speaking even now at 27. I'm just aloner.

What do you really gain? After all, you can't take it with you!

Personally I think that you make a bigger impact on society by raising your children to be productive citizens.

They had a good show( finally) in mtv. well they have that True life and stuff, which is great. About the only good thing they have. ANyways it was a show about Autistic teens. One of them was Autistic but he didn't have any of the symptoms other autistics have. Like, he could talk well and everything, all that was strange was he kind of talked like a robot. and sometimes he would be stuck and couldn't think of what to say. But he was a kid who wanted to be a comedian, and even had some shows. So that's awesome . He is better than me at speaking and in his social life.

I'm quiet, i have trouble speaking, pronouncing sounds.. and i can't think fast. Sometimes i get stuck trying to think things. But everyone says i'm normal.

I'm shy and quiet yes.. and i've been like this since 5 years old. I'm 27 now. But still, i fail to see the difference between me and that MTV true life Autistic kid who was a comedian and talked well, had a large vocabulary and all. I'm even worse than him.

Women rightfully point out that they are not paid equally as men in the corporate world.

However, when will it be pointed out that women have to meet easier standards to be in the military, police force, or in a firefighter.

I don't mind men bashing when it is deserved (i.e. unequal pay), but a lot of men are losing jobs involving physical strength (i.e. cops, firefighters) to women who are less qualified simply b/c women have demanded a certain percentage of these jobs even though they are less qualified than the men.

These are the double standards that make men bitter toward women.

According to the endocrinologist, my son (7 years old) is destined to be 5' 0" tall (at best), and 4' 9" most likely.

Growth hormone will not have any effect on him because his body simply does not respond to growth hormone.

****

I love my son unconditionally, but the life and life experience will not be as kind or fair...

It is because of his extremely small size that he is destined to be regarded as a "FREAK", by his peers, but most especially by women.

He will have the life-long experience of having his human worth discounted simply because of his extremely small size, in this society obsessed with vanity, looks and physique

He will be discounted as a man, as a human being by women simply because of something he had absolutely no control over...in spite of his internal qualities.

I simply don't know how to prepare my son for the level of unfairness and devaluation this society has in store for him,..I literally have no idea how to cushion the blow.
