Well the government has been tossing subsidies on oil for a long time now, and almost none for new perpetual energy such as wind or biofuels. As the next 50 years roll around oil reserves will no longer meet the demand of the world,and the cost of extracting will exceed that of the yield. So what are we to do? The argument that we cannot support alternative fuel source programs currently due to lack of money is bogus. Why not shift out subsidies of fossil fuels which will depelte and put them into the alternative fuel sources, viola, it's been payed for. Which alternative fuel sources will meet the similar demand oild has. Hydrogen? Solar? How about coal burning and electiricity? We have plenty of it, but how much longer is the atmosphere going to take a beating? Do we implement wind? Wind turbines destroy the landscape view for people i think is a popular argument. We can build those out at sea too :). So how will we face this crisis. Food for thought.

Don't think I am 'gross' or any of that...I am just young and life is coming at me fast. So girls, what does sex feel like for you the first time? I imagine it's rather painful. Is there like...any pleasure the first time...or pretty much just pain?
If you are just going to answer this question and say "perv!" or something, go to the next question please. I am just curious.
Thanks!

Surely if you love someone you don't need a contract. It's not a ring and piece of paper that keeps people together - as can be seen by the high rates of divorce.

I can understand the reasons for it though - tradition, the idea of being symbolically attached to someone, a public celebration, tax breaks etc. Certainly, if I meet a girl and we want to start a family, I'd be happy to oblige in marrying her if that was important to HER. Personally, it doesn't matter to me - it's the relationship itself that counts.

I'm only asking in this section because I fear being preached at if I ask it somewhere else. I'm not interested in biblical reasons or "one man, one woman" or any of that bollocks. If marriage IS to mean anything then it can't be as an exclusive, heterosexual club.

I expect people to pronounce words correctly, write using standard English, read fine literature, listen to cultured music (although the other stuff is also fine) and I like certain drinks that are enjoyed by urbane persons. I don't like most of the books that are published by modern authors. I much prefer Homer, Virgil, Shakespeare, Dante or Plato. I read literature in a number of foreign languages and like to think abstractly. Am I expecting too much of my fellow humans? Am I a snob? Why does the confusion between "there" and "their" bother me so much? Why does a lack of subject-verb agreement by writers or speakers drive me crazy?

I mean seriously, do you ladies want some fugly anti-feminist slob that only wants you to work in the kitchen and be submissive to him? That's a "real man" there, isn't it?

Or do you want a sensitive, caring guy that doesn't mind doing the dishes and cuddling when its starts thundering outside.

I know other guys don;t like macho men cause they try to beat us up all the time. I think they're jealous. But after all, guys have an Y and an X chromosone. Shouldn't we embrace our "feminine" side and not be so caught up about being manly?

So, I have always been sensitive (letting things get to me). I am deeply bothered (sensitive) by injustices and feel unsettled by them, in turn I analyze the heck out of things.

People in my life often tell me that I am too sensitive and that I over analyze things. How am I supposed to be any other way? Any suggestions? Surely there are other people out there in this situation, any advice?

When I am in a relationship, or casually dating someone, I find I get insecure about where we are going relationship-wise. I either am scared to be totally committed or I'm anxious that I like them more than they like me. I don't want to and hate bringing it up with my bf because I don't want him to know how insecure I am. The result is that it festers and instead I end up detaching myself from them thus we stop talking therefore, no more relationship. I hate acting that way because it seems desperate to me if I bring up "do you like me?" type of things. I'm not needy, I just don't ever feel comfortable, or I guess, confident enough that they like me.

Other than this I am the laid-back, funny girl who can talk to anyone. I don't know how to fix this problem, I'm scared it will stay with me forever.

Ok, so I know there are many similar questions like this on here, but I am over the age of 20. Too often, I have based my self-worth on my relationships with guys and the way I look. It's a nasty cycle. I'd like to feel good about myself for something that I've earned that's actually commendable and from within, not shallow. Sometimes, I will feel this way and the disgusted feeling I have about being too much comes over me and then I am repulsed again. Usuallt this spurred on by any type of negative comment or when I compare myself to other girls. I want and need to get out of it?

Sorry im confused i know some handicap people like to be called hani-capable. But then how is mentally handicap = mentally handi-capable. I like to call a spade a spade and a retard is a retard. I never use this word in a bad way. I think retards are great people. They appear happier than you and me, there something i can learn from them, and that is not to overthink things and to be happy. What do you think?>

In response to my babysitting flyer, he called. The first thing he asked was how old I was. He said he needed me to do an "all night" job. Told me he had three kids, and that I could meet them in his home. When I asked to meet him and his kids in public, he acted weird and said he couldn't "pack them all up" and he'd look for someone else.
There was some other weird stuff but I'll leave it at that for now.
He said his name was Andre Kerman, or Carmen.
I called the police but they said they couldn't even warrant an investigation.
I find it very disturbing. What can I do?
I have thought of partnering up with some other people, and have some trained person go in there pretending to be me and see what happens to her, with us waiting nearby in case something happened... I know this sounds crazy, but if it were true wouldn't it be worth it to prevent a real victim?

For the last couple of years, I have found it hard to make direct eye contact with other people while talking to them because when I make direct eye contact with them while talking, I feel like they are harshly judging me and I get kind of nervous. Is this bad? Is this some sort of disorder? It seems to be getting worse, and I used to never be like this, EVER.....
Help?!
