i have many acquaintences but sometimes the people i call friends are not really friends. one minute theyre like bffl with you the next, merely even acquaintences. would you rather be independent and alone at school or be around people who are sometimes nice to you but have major, and i mean major mood swings? how do you not act like you are a loner? how do you be more sociable? how do you cope with peer pressure?

I hear people say that there are laws against pay discrimination, so of course, most businesses are following the law. I don't know about that, but if you found out you made less than your co-workers, even though you all had the same education, experience, and skills, what would you do? Would you worry about being fired if you protested? or worry about being black-listed in your field? do you think anyone would believe you? Could you be fired for discussing your salary?

Why is this generation of girls so useless?

Someone earlier posted about the mother that threw gasoline on her children and set them on fire. And here is yet another incident of a mother abusing their children. This mother most likely won child custody of her baby from the father because of the anti-male laws imposed with the help of feminism that gives unfair preference to the mother.

http://www.wbaltv.com/news/14143146/detail.html

Will this woman most likely receive a slap on the wrist, like the countless other abusive and homicidal mothers and wives out there? Are feminists here hoping that she gets a slap on the wrist?

In recent years -

About one third of female murder victims were killed by an intimate.


About 3% of male murder victims were killed by an intimate.


Of all female murder victims, the proportion killed by an intimate has been increasing.

Please do not answer by telling me that males are also victimized as well. I am aware of this but that only serves to cloud the original question. Let's try and stay focused.

we went out for a year, broke up for a year, and got back. while mending we were very open about all of these wild fantasies we had. one of hers was that she'd live a double life, ideal gf with me and party girl tramp once in a while.

she goes out with her freinds about once a month, often enough to dance clubs (but sometimes to bowl, etc). she has freinds that hook up once in a while, but she is very shy and has never hd the guts to do anything like that. i think that little bit of jelousy is part of the fuel for her fantasy.

at any rate, i indulge in her fantasy by talking about it, what a night out for hr could be like, and even role playing. i act like its all for her . . . but more and more i'm getting really into it. The idea blows my mind, and i get crazy hot just thinking about the whole thing. I also think it'd be hot to watch her dance dirty with other guys. And who knows, make her fantasy a reality? I don't know . . . I feel crazy, but good crazy, even though everyone would think bad crazy.

I have a relative ...who repeatedly..doesn't miss a chance to pass SHARP sarcastic and demeaning comments on me n other family members ..especially when we are doing good or celebrating or happy....and they do mean to put you down....and I can't really ignore them or stop talking to them( till now) ...they are relatives and live close by...

Everyone in their family has this habit of putting others down and mock at others' success and also talking foul behind your back , ......on the good side ,they are not entirely bad people , they are helpful and supportive at times when you are down(on face and talk bad behind my back:( ).. but don't miss to put you down when you are doing good. Do they wish us to suffer all the time or what? Their words can be very Sharp and aweful. I hope some of you would understand what I mean.

Till now I was forgiving thinking that its their nature and was avoiding them..but now i have to do something.Enough.

Need your Help !!!How to deal with such people??

I have a dream almost once a week were my teeth shatter inside my mouth in front of all my close friends/family. I can feel my teeth in my mouth, broken and shattered on my tongue and gums. I eventually spit them out on the ground. I What does this mean? It seems so real that when I wake up I have to check to see my teeth are still intact. This may seem strange to some but it's quit scary when first wake up from this kind of dream. Thanks for all your thoughts people..

I've had this recurring dream probably once or twice a week, for months and months now. I'm exploring a hotel or mansion - it looks different every time - and i'm looking for something specific, in cabinets and trapdoors and boxes, and I've never found it yet. Time is always running out - i'm in a video game or soemone is chasing me. I never find what i'm looking for and I never remember what it is either. These dreams happen so often, they're really starting to bother me. I need to figure out what i'm looking for and where to find it! any advice?

Ok.So here it is.If one is neglected and ignored thoroughly and has no friends, isn't it better to die rather that living like an outcast? If one has no familal support to even encourage the person to get up and fight his/her weaknesses,isn't it better to just get rid of the ugly realities of the world? If one is being tortured for a period of over 10 years or if child abuse like social and emotional occured and if the person has no hope to survive at all, isn't it better to wrap yourself around the shadows of death because after all death is very peaceful.The only fear we have to fear is fear itself...right? So, what do you think if a person has no scope to survive at all and absolute zero hope of progress due lack of any kind of support in this world full of misery,narrow domesticated walls of the mind and corruption,isn't it better to just peacefully to swift away form this world of a lost faith?

Moral values used to come from church and were reinforced by men and women... Nowadays activists say:

1. Church is obsolete and the christian/muslim idea of women being wives and mothers is no longer acceptable...
2. Men are not allowed to use any degrading terms for promiscuous women...
3. Women are not allowed to police their own ranks either...

So how are our daughters supposed to make the right choices?

Abuse comes in many forms -- emotional, mental, psychological and, of course, physical. Often, women who find themselves in abusive relationships find it difficult to leave, for various reasons. What can women who find themselves in this type of situation do to find the strength and courage to move on?

and do they believe that the demons have the permission to lead us into temptation and they try to influence our mind?
i ask this because Jung and Freud didn't believe that the demons trouble us..and would result..psychology wouldn't be acknowledged as a science..if they don't acknowledge that God , angels and demons exist and influence our mind..
because the state rules for the name of God..not for the particular ideas of some people....and it would mean psychology shouldn't be acknowledged by state as a science..

"Our government has permanent residency inside a woman's vagina. The government deserves a place inside a woman's uterus according to those advocates that are anti-choice and anti-feminist. If a woman chooses not to sustain alterations to her uterus by a pregnancy, she must comply with state regulations first and then her own free will secondly.

So in the eyes of our legal systems I am a vagina first, a white citizen second and then lastly I am an eligible voter and consumer...."

What are your thoughts?

When I was young I had a liberating lucid dream where I was finally able to defeat a monster that would bug me every night. The dream was a positive thing. Finally after 13 years I had another lucid dream but it was not so positive, in fact it was scary:

For instance, although being completely conscious of dreaming I had to yell commands to make things happen. But eventually they would, so I continued on. Ok here is where the worrisome stuff happens:

I am surrounded by religious friends whom I've known since I was a child. One of them was an extremely attractive girl (sort of the bombshell of a boys childhood). Anyway I make the sexual encounter happen, and after it is over I look again at her face. It's female, but gruesome and unattractive. I try and try but I can't make the face change to hers. The thought consciously goes through my head that I may not actually have as much control over what is happening here as I thought, I freak out and start praying to end the dream.
