I think it's a genetic thing because my Mom, grandma and many of my relatives are loners...Is it a genetic thing since I am a loner???

a top modelling agency turns down the winner of "Make Me A Supermodel" a british tv show. do you think that's right??
i think she's gorgeous, myself. and saying size 12 is "fat" is a bit damaging to young girls, imo.

also, take a look at the size 12 and her competition, the one that the modelling agency says has a "sensational" body. they don't say her size... i'm thinking... maybe a 1 or 2??

i think this is great: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_id=483219&in_page_id=1879
using larger mannequins for their displays.

btw, these women that are a size 12 are within the healthy BMI range (they're around 19 i think). the skinny one is below healthy...

what do you think about this size issue???

Ok, I asked this question before but I wasn't specific enough, I guess. Just so I don't need to re-type the entire question again, http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071001150014AANY1rJ


My idea of a simple life: I would want a small house/apartment. A "small" house/apartment to me is pretty much 1 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom, 1 Kitchen, and my office. Maybe not even a bedroom. I mattress on the floor is good enough for a bedroom. The office would have a lot of books (like my own small library), a lot of maps, and my computer. I don't want to own a car, I'd sooner just walk or take the bus. Therefore, gas is of no importance for me. I don't want to own a TV or DVD Player or anything like that. The BIGGEST I'd want my house/apartment to be is 1200 square feet. I would also like to do a lot of traveling in my life time. The reason why I am asking this is because I think I would really like to be a Cartographer when I am older (I have been trying to find a career I would want to do

We all know that the stereotypical teenage drug addict wasn't "raised right" or "didn't know the consequences" but why do you think that some kids who do have good parents, who do get involved in school activities, who do hang out with the "right group", why do some of these kids get into drugs? what are the reasons behind the kids you would never expect to do such a thing. the kids who knew the consequences, who didn't have esteem issues, why do you think those kids ended up the way they do?

An extraordinary event has just occured -- a father won a child-custody battle against the mother!

Also, the unfit-mother Ms. Spears has to pay child support and is already paying Mr. Federline alimony. Nice to see the roles reversed.

Another victory for Men's Rights! Another defeat for feminism and misandry!

What is your opinion of the father winning custody from an unfit mother?

I hate smoking so much, I think it's selfish and a waste of money. My Dad's smoking caused my Nana's cancer.

This may sound really weird but when I'm angry or sad or stressed out I get cravings for cigarettes.

I use to smoke when I was 14ish because I was naive and 'thought it was cool' blah blah blah! I quit about 6months later because I changed friends and I saw it wasn't cool.

I remember how calm it use to make me feel. I'd never actually go and smoke now, but I'm just wondering why I'm getting these cravings when I hate smoking so much?

In the United States, what would be a comfortable yearly income (i.e. $40, 000 a year, $55, 000 a year, etc.) for a single person? What I mean by comfortable is a small house/apartment living a fairly simple life.

Now, the same question but instead of the United States, what would be a comfortable living in a modern European country (i.e. Iceland, France, Luxembourg, etc.). Use American dollars.

I was doubting my Salvation, awhile back, and I was so worried about it, that I could not go to sleep. One night I had a dream. In the dream, I was in a white room, and all of the females in my family were in the dream. In thw white room there was an opening to a garden, it was so pretty. I look out the garden, and I saw two biblical woman picking some stuff up and putting them into a rice basket. It look like they were harvesting. Then I find out one of them was Mary, the other of Jesus, and she stood face to face with me holding the basket, and she told me"You are a child of God" I woke up from the dream, Christians do you think this is God telling me I should not worry about my Salvation? I know that we should not praise mary, but I wonder why she happen to be chosen to tell me this? Let me know what you think. Please no non Christians and Catholics please, do not answer this question...
Thanks.

Violence is a very complicated topic not only to discuss it but to think about it. People have different concepts of why violence exists and one idea can contradict another. To me violence it’s a signal that we as society are doing something wrong. It was hard for me to conclude what are causes and effects of violence but I believe that media, presence of firearms at home and domestic violence are the three strong roots of violence.


Television programs where violent scenes are present create a violent feeling to its viewers. The parents, on the other hand, with the enormous responsibility of work have left the television and video games as babysitters not giving their children the time and love that they need and instead a time of television they do not need at all.

To have guns at home its a risk. Perhaps the greater error as far as the firearms is the idea that they are useful and indispensable for self-defense. A firearm at home is usually use against a member of the family and in my opinion can increase the possibility of suicide.

Let us not confuse familiar violence with familiar conflicts. The discussions, fights and differences of opinion, are normal in the interpersonal relations, as long as they are not solved violently. The familiar violence can be pronounced of many ways. Most common they are: towards the women, between the spouses, towards the old ones, the minors and the disable people. The members of a family influence in the development of the personality of the children and of whom they cohabit, therefore, a person who lives in a dysfunctional family is going to be violent in all activities. The children normally undergo all the consequences of the problems of their parents, although they are not the direct victims.

In moral matter the violence affects and destroys the values of the family, attempting against the human freedom. To me family is love and in love it is not possible to be mediocre, aggressive or violent.

In my dream we were at a department store I used to work at and my son was in a cart, then my wife, my other son and me were looking at some item. All of a sudden we didn't see our younger son anymore so we looked for him all over the store and didn't find him. Many of my co workers that I had there were helping me to look but still no sign. Can someone tell me what this means?
