So it has always been on my mind. Why is it that the European, North American and some of the Far Eastern Nations are the most advanced Nations int the world. The Nations of Africa, Latin America, and South Eastern Nations are the poorest Nations in the world. Why is that?, and from your point of expertiese what could the poor countries do say Nigeria or Bhurma do to be with the big economic countries like the US, and all the other developed countries in the world?

i'm a spontaneous person and i am looking for some new cool hobbies
I am open to almost everything, so tell me all your ideas.

i was thinking, maybe painting, but i dont have very steady hands or images in my mind.
is there some other affordable way to speak my mind and express myself through a hobby?

Any ideas?

I am too cool and nice to others and I end up agreeing to anything and I forget about myself . When I finally think about myself and realize that Iam not doing or being nice to myself and others are taking advantage of my coolness, I get angry. When I get angry, I think about myself and do the right thing about myself and I stop being cool to others. How do I balance between being too cool and nice and being angry .

I'm worrying about myself again. What I really need to do is stop fantasizing about this BDSM activity because it's scaring the **** out of me. Ok, I was on this femnization site. There were pictures of women on there each with a message about feminization. Basically they were trying to get men to call for feminization. I started masturbating to one of the pictures of the women. As I felt the *** coming out, I think I accidentally thought while looking at the picture: "I like to suck ****". Now I'm a little worried about myself. I've been heterosexual my whole life. I've always only fantasized about being with women.

When I met him, he was 27 years old living at his dad's house and had just lost a job working as a night auditor at a hotel. We dated for a while then I found out he had an 8 year old son from ex-wife of 4-5 years, which I was attracted to because I wanted to have kids someday and he seemed like a good father and not scared of marriage. He was a nice people person, always helping out and doing romantic things for me. He even started saving up for my engagement ring after only 4 months of us dating then surprised me with it about a year later.

When we met, I was working as a cocktail waitress at bars and drinking couple times a week and he didn’t like it and almost dumped me so I quit drinking to prove I wasn’t an alcoholic (which I wasn’t) and even quit the job so he wouldn’t get jealous and it was just a fun job for me to make extra cash with anyway; I didn’t care about it.

I’m 22, he’s 29 and we’ve been living in MY house for about a year. Now we’re expecting a baby boy next month and I’m not working (I quit my job as a poker dealer because they had no business so it wasn’t worth my time) and he just started a job a month ago as a graveyard cook at a restaurant. Before that, he took his first semester of college and I pretty much did his work for him and tried to explain it to him. I’m not saying I’m a genius but I’ve been to college, tech school and was always head of my class.

He was in the Coast Guard when he was my age, married and taking care of his ex and their son working 2 jobs. He was also in a band doing small bar gigs when I met him. This all sounded good to me but now I’m questioning our relationship. I’ll leave out the other problems we have but my main concern is with money. We both want to start a business and I WILL but I don’t think he has what it takes. Today he told me he wants to quit his job because it’s too much with the 11 hour shifts and he has no time to spend with his son and I, and I would be fine with that but I know he’s not going to help me out as much as I need him to get this business started so we don’t have to worry about money and finding crap jobs.

He doesn’t seem to think long term about things, he gets frustrated, and he’ll enthusiastically help out anyone who asks him which uses up most of his time but when I ask him for help, I get an attitude, it gets done half assed or not at all. He doesn’t have common sense sometimes and I’ll end up having to do what I asked him to do anyway.

When I was on my own, I had plenty of money for my needs, enough space in my house where it wasn’t hard to maintain and it was much easier overall. This guy doesn’t pick up after himself and thinks if he cleans the house once a month I’ll be satisfied. I do almost all housework. He has tons of clothes and the laundry is ridiculous. He’s a packrat and I need an organized clean home to run my business out of.

I’ve always been a generous person and I split everything with him and go out of my way to do things for him. Last week, he told me his paychecks were going to start going into my bank account, then today he grabs all the money and says he’s holding onto it.

We broke up once before because I let his friend stay with us which I thought was for overnight and turned into a month. I finally kicked him out because it was causing problems in our relationship and I’m not supporting an alcoholic grown man 10 years older than me. Fiancé was complaining about how much money he spent on me when I never asked him to do it and I spent just as much, if not more, on him.

Fiancé was offended I asked his friend to leave and one night when I got home from my poker job, both of their stuff was gone and a couple of my things. I actually came home early that night and caught him moving the rest out and he claimed it was an accident and returned my stuff. Two months later he begged for me back and I gave him a chance. I’m sure it’s better living with me than his parents.

I do love this guy and don’t want my baby to grow up without a father, but he’s really holding me back and I can’t take his little toddler temper tantrums when he’s asked to do something. I will have enough of that with my new baby and I need some support by my side, not another kid I have to look after. I’m just writing my thoughts here and wondering if it would be better for me to raise this child alone and work on my business since I doubt he’ll be of much help. I’d never deprive him of seeing his son and hope we could be friends or at least civil with each other.

I might add that I don’t have a family myself except for my grandmother but she will be gone any day now. My mother is a psychotic *****, seriously. She’s even going to mental health court and was on drugs over 10 years. I’m not really allowed to see my younger siblings and they live far. Never met my dad and don’t talk to any other relatives. Will the love of my child be enough to keep me strong to make my dreams come true and our lives better without any other support or help?

a couple of months ago i went to an asperger's clinic because my mum thought i had it. so i went along for an hour, i was asked to sit outside and look at poorly black and white photocopied facial expressions and choose from a list of what they were eg. suprised, shocked, happy. i did this outside while my mum talked to the lady. anyway i went back in and she asked me about my childhood and because from grade 6-8 my best friend was asian (she was australian born - not just some immigrant that couldnt speak english) that that was a sign that i had asperger's and also the fact that i prefer other races to white people (i am white myself). I also suffer from depression. And after years of being bullied at school - (for being 'ugly' not 'different') i find that constantly being scared of people calling me ugly is what makes me hold back in social situations - i haven't told anyone this because im ashamed. however on that basis do you think that my diagnosis was fair?

I've been having dreams at this one place for the last few months. It's just at a few houses down my street. A few days ago I had a dream that I was there at that same place down my street. I walked into a women I know's house were there was about eight other people all of other ages around me. I didn't reconize there faces but I felt really close to all of them. Then there was a big map of a very beautiful looking city. It was built of white stone. As soon as saw the map I felt this huge feeling of peace that I can't even explain. Everyone was congragulating me on my kingdom. Saying it was the best of all time. They all said I would build it in the future. And I would be the last of there kind. And then I woke up.The whole day I felt that great feeling. As you can see it was a very weird dream!! But I don't get any of it. Does anyone get any of it?

Normality for me is a cruse on a person in witch the person gives up their identity to blend in

And also is forced on to those that don't meet that "normal" standard.

One things for sure " normal " people really need to open there minds more and think for themselves

what do you think normality is?
