For instance, exactly how many mental wounds would I inflict if I were to put a Snow White costume onto my 2 year old son and then take him to a children's Halloween party?

Would he be unable to function later in life if he found out? Would he hate himself? Would he suffer from severe gender confusion?

Because that's what a TON of people are telling me. Personally I think they're off their rockers... just trying to get a few more perspectives.

Seriously, we all know that men are superior to women. Women are only good at cooking and taking care of kids. Women are only a source of entertainment for men and serve no other purpose. Why is it that god didn't make women as smart as men so they can atleast achieve something?

If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven’t you told them yet?

Men kill each other for it...

Women prostitute their bodies for it...

Children squabble over it on the school playground...

It drives people to dishonesty, theft, greed and malice...

...that thing is called "MONEY." Everybody loves it, everybody wants more of it, and few if any earn what they feel they deserve.

Hey, I love money just much as the next person, and I'll be the first to jump through a flaming hoop for it if the price is right. ;-)

But why are folks so hostile or fearful towards any suggestion that they might be materialistic?

When a professional athlete signs a $100 million/6 year deal, why do they launch into some speech about how they did it for world peace or to rediscover their inner beauty?

When a Playboy centerfold poses nude, why do they give some nonsensical diatribe about how they did it to promote art and free expression?

Why can't people just admit the simple truth: that's "it's all about the money"? = )

the general target audience is boys or girls under 19, yet i found this disturbing.

The ones that the target audience is boys was men doing stupid stunts or men caught being stupid like

Balls Of Steel
Dirty Sanchez
Wild Boyz
Jackass
Still Standing
Yes Dear
The Simpsons
Family Guy
Beavis And Butthead
South Park
Viva La Bam
Funniest Home Videos (yes there was a 4 year old naked urinating in the pool and you could see him all)

All these shows are men being stupid and running publicly naked or are the stupid husband/brother/uncle etc.

I could go on but i need to get to my question. So i found shows that target girls under 19 and it all seems to be encouraging them:

Hannah Montanna
Lizzie Mcquire
H20 Just add Water
Blue Water High

What effect do you think these shows have on boys and girls? I think it's to teach girls to be strong and boys to make a living being dumb as dog sh!t. It seems as the years go on it gets worse...

thought id really feel special and have more friends by being successful....im still socially inept...it frustrates me that there are some people who like 'me,' but i keep distance because im afraid theyll find out im socially awkward...

and this person i admire and want to impress doesnt have the personality i wish she had, so theres no way i can connect with her or be friends with her.....

ive made commitments which stress me out, but its too late to back out...

what can i do to get out of my whirlpool....

there was this guy I was in love with for a whole year. I suppose I'm still not totally over him, but even when he used to hold me or kiss my neck I wouldn't move, I was so... petrified? disgusted? I don't think there's a word for it. but very uncomfortable.

and that's how I've always been, I guess. I just can't stand it. and I really want to know, what's wrong with me? I always push people away because of this. But I don't want to be like this!

And most important, what yardstick are using to measure those accomplishments. For this question please use tangible accomplishments. (things that can be materially compared, like a PHD in genetics compared to "Professor of Internal Medicine and Pharmacology")
If you say "she made her family happy", that is great but difficult to evaluate.

Well, it begins this way. I am currently failing chemistry, even though I try, and go tutoring after school. I also just failed my driver's license test, and whenever somebody asks me to do something for them (like running an errand or getting something for them), I get nervous and mess things up. Sometimes, it seems that I can't even do basic, simple tasks. My mom constantly asks me to help her with something, and often I don't understand and mess things up. As a result, she calls me "stupid" or "idiot". Am I stupid or have something wrong with my brain?

fire hydrant! Five hours later, you wake up in a hospital room and a nurse is standing by your bedside, and she tells you that she was not able to contact any of your family because you happened to not have any I.D. on you at the time of your unfortunate accident. All she could find was a journal in the bag you were carrying, but did not want to infringe on your privacy by reading it.

Here's the thing: YOU HAVE AMNESIA! You have no memory of your life up to now, and you are very confused about what you should do next.

You take the time to read your journal and it contains enough information for you to piece together who you are and what kind of life you've lived. This includes who your family, kids, spouse are, and your occupation, religion, spiritual beliefs, and your happiness with your life thus far. Now you have a choice to make...

What would you do? Would you go back to your life or start a new one? If you'd start a new life, how so?
