Guys seem to have there little PMS moments too. For instance my guy friend at work has a little attitude sometimes when I come in, which is tolerable but its like dang he must be PMSING (in a guy way)! One day he seemed to be in a bad mood and I asked him whats wrong he said I don't want to talk about it. I told him Ok Im sorry and just left him alone! I'm sorry guys but that drives me nuts when men do that! Never want to talk about anything bothering them just let there emotions go to the back and not express it which is not good. If you keep letting anger build up your going to explode and it might not be for the best.

Why can't men express their feelings? It is very annoying!

Cigarettes are much more harmful then pot is and Ill explain why. Just follow my logic for a min. A regular sized bowl of weed is equal to 20 cigarettes. I get high about 2-3 times a month, so thats 60 cigarettes a month. My dad smokes 2 packs of cigarettes a day. Since a pack contains 20 cigarettes his smoking 40 cigarettes a day. If you times that by the number of days in a year which is 14,600 cigarettes a year, vs my 720 cigarettes in a year.
My mom smokes about a pack a day. 20*365=7,300.
Lets say you smoke five a day, you would be smoking 1,825 a year to my 720 cigarettes, which is my 3 bowls a month. Someone that smokes 3 cigarette's a day is still smoking 1,095 cigarette's a year, which is still more then I smoke. I smoke equivalent two 2 cigirettes a day. 2*365-730.

I had a "friend" who I felt was very fake to me (Used me for rides/connections/etc., put me down whenever other people were around, constantly tried to embarrass me). Several months ago though I was stupidly trying to prove myself to her to make a point. I stupidly sent the dumbest "apology" letter to her and revealed things I had kept hidden from her during our "friendship" (dealing with my health and my past). I wanted to end the friendship in a way that proved a point (that when she joked around about me being "anorexic" she was hitting a deep spot in my heart because I once actually almost died from anorexia, and that we weren't very good friends anyway because I hid things from her because I never felt like I could share them, (and stupid me shared them to her in the email because I was stressed and pissed) I think in reality I made it sound like I was confessing that I was being fake and lying to her the whole time, and though I don't care to establish a friendship with her

I have a genuine desire to help other people. Sometimes I cry because I see so much suffering. However its hard and I encountered some problems so far:

1) A few months ago a girl dropped her teddy. I got down, gave it to her and smiled. Her mother said a quick "Thanks" and got walked quickly. I assume she might think I was pedophile or something. I dont blame her. You might be reading this and be thinking Im lying to you.

2) Money issues. I made a promise to myself that if I ever win the lottery, I will give 95% of it to charity.

Sometimes I wish I were Batman, I know its inmature but like I said I really want to help people. What can I do?

I went to band camp today thinking I was going to play bass drum like I wanted to, because I wanted to stay away from keyboard percussion because it quite literally drives me insane. I always feel like dying when all the high school kids around me are perfect at playing all these exercises and scales and I CANNOT do it. I have tried being patient. It failed. But I was put back in the pit (marching band) and have to play keyboard percussion again. So I was trying really hard and in the middle of it, I just completely broke down and cried. And I never cry in public, especially in front of fifteen percussionists and a hot bass player. I hate intimidation, and that's why I wanted bass drum so badly because I thought I was good at it, but apparently I'm "not ready for it." I've never been a strong person. I'm unbelievably weak, actually. I also suffer from serious depression, so I think I'm going to go literally insane soon if I don't figure something out. Does anyone know what I should do?

In my school there is a debate around this topic. So I would like to know what everyone else thinks... Do you think that we shouldn't/should remember our past?

I don't mean just a dream where you are crying. I mean a dream where you cry and you wake up crying. I have had several poignant dreams as of late and when I cry in the dream I wake up and discover that I have been crying for real. And not just a few tears. I mean really crying. I am not even sad in real life when I have these dreams! They don't scare me but I wonder if anyone else shares this experience.

Just can't ever love him enough...told him for years that I AM happy...but I can't MAKE him happy. Emotional abuse...foulest degradation and disrespect but then LOVES me and is sorry. 15 years of this...maybe length of 6months at a time when things seem ok...but then he can't hold it in anymore that I haven't given him enough attention or enough sex or whatever it will be. He's never gotten over birth of our 13 y/o son (original source of ongoing abuse) and during our recent 2 yr separation had sex numerous times with my married step-sister. Denied it when I told him I didn't think I could take him back if he had...now after 6 months back together admitted it. Has a problem with me not wanting much to do with him (being happy despite him and cordial)...acting out because I won't have sex with him and its been an WHOLE 3 WEEKS!! She's well-known to be one of "try to f** your man kinda gal"...we've known she's slept with many skanks like her and then he did this? I'm disgusted...

Don't we live in a free nation? If we do, shouldn't a person be allowed to hire any man or woman he wants, for whatever reason? Shoudn't a man be allowed not to accept an applicant because the applicant has a nose ring, or a tatoo? And, because this is a free nation, shouldn't he be allowed not to hire someone because the applicant has blonde hair, and he doesn't like people with blonde hair?

People should be allowed to hire whomever they wish, for whatever reasons. After all, they are the ones paying their employees.

If you don't agree, I want a good, reasonable, sensible explanation showing why people should not be allowed to exercise their freedom of thought and action, formulate their own opinions, and hire whoever they want, regardless of race, color, gender, or even hair color.

Please, no name calling, no diatribes, no irrational thoughts. Please, let's keep this calm, cool and rational. If you can't be these, don't bother answering.

I want solid evidence. Specefic occurrences. I don't want graphs showing how men make more than women. I want cold proof that a woman does not make as much money as men do for the sole reason that they are not men, the SOLE reason. I don't want to find out that the women in your examples refused to do a certain thing that the men would do. I want specefic events and evidence of discrimination. No opinion. No discussions of sentiment. I want to make this perfectly clear:

Give me some, unaltered, unabridged, credible, true evidence of a woman being discriminated against in the past 5 years for the sole reason that they were female. Cases involving people who were later punished (for it is a violation of the law) don't count.

This act encompasses a wide range of issues that affect the life of women and children. This is verbatim:
Our Mission
The Family Violence Prevention Fund works to prevent violence within the home, and in the community, to help those whose lives are devastated by violence because everyone has the right to live free of violence.

What We Do

For more than two decades, the Family Violence Prevention Fund (FVPF) has worked to end violence against women and children around the world. Instrumental in developing the landmark Violence Against Women Act passed by Congress in 1994, the FVPF has continued to break new ground by reaching new audiences including men and youth, promoting leadership within communities to ensure that violence prevention efforts become self-sustaining, and transforming the way health care providers, police, judges, employers and others address violence.
If men have a problem with this act why don't they lobby for their own interest group and become proactive?

Women are better with children than men are. Little children prefer women over men. Women are anatomically structured to nourish children. If you believe in evolution, note that the majority of female animals care for their young while the male hunts. Women are more comfortable at home than anywhere else. And, furthermore, children benefit more when mothers stay at home and care for them rather than having the father do it, or putting them in a day-care center.

Soooo... if women are better at caring for children, if it is proven that they prefer a home over other locations, if they're designed to care for a child, and it is best for the child for the mother to stay home, then why is it wrong for a woman to stay at home and care for her children? Why shouldn't she? Is this really a display of chauvist, sexist idealogy?

Please answer rationally, with proven facts. And before you accuse me of being sexist, consider what I have to say and disprove it with scientific facts, if you can

IS this annoying and lacking tact?
I recently bought a used BMW, new to me but a fun sporty car that I can now have with a successful new job. I had a short list of five cars but chose this one. A couple weeks later I received this email from my mom asking me for information about the exact same cars on my list but one year newer than my car. Isn't that a bit lacking in tact? My mom has always been jealous and competative of me. I thought she had grown up but I guess not?
