How many feminist buy their clothes from the mens department? How many feminists let their body hair grow out? How many feminists shave their heads bald? How many feminists sleep on their couch and let their male friends use their bed?

If feminist are against gender roles, why are they willing to follow certain gender roles? No gender roles means no gender roles... right?

When you think about it, there's TV, computers, robots, cell phones, and machines that do things around the house for us. America's child obesity rate has gone op to 15%. They are becoming bigger and lazier. So will they care about thier past? Will they respect the earth? Do they care that global warming is occuring all around us? What is the fate of America?

Can someone give me a "Clear Understanding" of what a person means when they say "You have to think outside the box". I mean as far as applying this to my life. Please who ever answers this question for me, will you give me an example. Also, I need only mature answers. No games please!!! Thank you for your cooperation.

***Please note, this isn't an anti-women question, do don't get upset ladies*****

Anyway

Through out HIStory(even nowadays) us men have done so many great things, we created laws, built civilizations, fight wars to protect our countries, and invented many great things. I mean, it is IMPOSSIBLE to list all the great things that men have done. Without men, there is no world.

Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior was a man.

So i feel it would be a GREAT to have a holiday dedicated to men only. A holiday that celebrate the greatness of men. Your thought?, brothers?

My host mom is in her 50s. She is currently a teacher in Baltimore City Public School. I have been known her for 5 years. She has been struggling with her teaching jobs in the areas for all those years.

She always tells people that her bosses dislike her because she is an African American and has her Master's from John Hopkins University. She believes her bosses are racists or intimidated by her education. the unfortunate truth is every years she has been asked not to come back to work AKA she gets fire.

I know for facts that she is a kind and loving lady. Althought I tend to think she is not the best worker because she likes to talk and does not get her jobs done as fast as others. She is now distress and depressed because she thinks her bosses treat her unfair.

What do you think? What is her issues? How can she improve herself?

P.S. I am only 22. She always talks to me about her problems. I feel obligate to give her my thoughts.

Thank you so much for your kindness

That come up with every excuse as to why they can not go for rehabilitation, counselling, or even tell someone who could guide them in the right direction, are expecting everyone else to change to accomodate them, rather than changing what they don't like about themselves?
Because that is the feeling I get from the thousands of YA posters who are depressed, but not THAT depressed, contemplating suicide, but can't think of a way to do it, and those who are just at the end of their rope, but can't afford to go to a counsellor.
You know, it gets very tiring after a short time when you try and give sound advice to those who are in need of it, and just won't take it, and get mad when you don't tell them what they want to hear - that they are okay, and everyone else needs to change.

My friend and I were riding our bikes through a city that seemed similiar to chicago. It was a perfect day, the water in the harbor was a perfect shade of blue, and there was a clear blue sky. No one was around except me and m friend riding our bikes. We continued throughout the city and ended up at a pier, for some reason, we continued and went off a ramp that was at the end of the pier. We landed on a floating trampoline that was in the water, and after bouncing off that we plunged in. As I resurfaced, the water was pulling me away from the pier, the water was very deep like the ocean and very calm. I tried to swim back to shore, but to no avail. Then, a young girl about 9 appeared and grabbed my hand, she pulled me back to where the trampoline was, and as I climbed up, she went underwater. I opened my eyes to see her resurface as the most beautiful women I had ever seen. She was about 20, tall, asian, had straight black hair, and was wearing a black bikini with strange straps on it.

Is it possible to have a personality where you are quiet and speak your mind? For example, if you don't really talk to people and ur kind of a loner, but is it possible to speak ur mind if someone asks you something or you just blurt it out, or if your standing up for yourself? ...just wondering

Our planet can no longer seem to cope with the human race expanding everywhere. There is no other species so far spread from a single area as we have, and there is no other species environmentally unstable and unsustainable, as we grow, the natural world shrinks because we don't live with wildlife.

If there was a policy that every couple could only have one child, then in the space of about 2 generations, the human population would half. I don't agree with this idea, but if was implemented our level of pollution, consumption, and environmental impact would also approximately half.

And we'd take up so much less space, natural habitats could eventually re-emerge and we would have ample energy resources so that we wouldn't need more industrial development.

So should there be a new global policy, lets call it a license to reproduce. Or selective breeding (terrible but natural). Could such extreme measures be excused in such time of environmental chrisis? For future generations?
