this guy had date me this evening where we are not a couple yet. it have also double confirm again today but two hour later, he sms to say he have to help a friend to do something and say sorry and cant meet up. He didnt even bother to call.. this is consider first time he stood me up.. but there are few times he annoy me whichi felt he did it on purpose...

But i think he dont even think i am important enough to him and friend is more important to him rite? I call him and he just reply nonchantly and dont care at all.. i feel played and maybe he wasnt really interested at all and just want me to get angry and say goodbye. what you think? i feel so hurt and cheated...

We don't stop thinking, thats why we create problems, war, and ideals to live by. If we only thought when we needed to or wanted to, would our lives be simpler?

Every single male I know is not worth the time of day.

My father left us when I was 3.
My step dad was an alcoholic, gambling addict and left our family and stole all our money.
My brother is the rudest person I know. He has no manners, he expects everyone to drop everything for him.
I was raped when I was 15 by someone I thought I could trust.
I was sexually abused by a family friend.
My Grandfather is rude and so grumpy all the time.
The boys at my school only talk about their penises.
And now, the only descent male I thought was left in my life has just thrown it all back in my face. I needed someone to talk to and he told me to go away.

Are there actually any males out there that aren't complete jerks? Because I'm having serious trouble finding one.

I know some people get PhDs and stuff, but I'm wondering about before that.

I'm planning to get a bachelors of science in psychology, but is there some kind of degree that only clinical psychologists pursue or one that I should be pursuing or considering for the future?

I posed a question explaining that I am a crossdresser and just want to dress up in something that will make me feel feminine and somewhat preety. I realize that wont every look as beautiful as a normal woman would, but I was just looking for tips and I got some very rude answers.

The United States has a gross domestic product of roughly 11 trillion dollars. As a guess, the total worth of all assets in the United States is rough 110 trillion, and that of the entire world roughly 1 quadrillion dollars. In other words, if an alien race came and offered to buy Earth piecewise, would 1 quadrillion dollars be a reasonable total for everything, if nobody knew that they were going to buy the entire planet? Can you find a way to estimate the true total worth of all assets on Earth, as owned privately and publicly?

Here are a few famous quotes:

"I have too many fantasies to be a housewife.... I guess I am a fantasy."

"Some people have been unkind. If I say I want to grow as an actress, they look at my figure. If I say I want to develop, to learn my craft, they laugh. Somehow they don't expect me to be serious about my work."

"In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hairdo. You're judged by how you look, not by what you are. Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty."

Pretty insightful quotes. Is it because of these sorts of quotes that many feminists, such as Gloria Steinem, have been attracted to Monroe as a sort of feminist figure (or perhaps just a symbol of oppression)? What do you think? Why does Monroe, despite her status as a sex symbol, appeal to some feminists more so than other bombshells?

I was watching tv when suddenly when the phone rang, i left the room to answer the phone. On coming back after 5 minutes I found the tv disconnected. On checking it closely i found out that the plug is stuck between the tv and the table. This cant happen by its own and very near to the room was our maid whom when asked abt it gets angry n denies. She asks me why she would do it. But she should have done it but she is not accepting. Previous experience shows that she tells a lot of lies n denies boldly. She was not seen to unplug the tv, even there was no one else to do so. I dont know y the hell she did it and it was in the morning so there is no chance for ghosts to do it. Neither is there any chance for anyone else to do. Even on coming back, i saw her walking along the coridor near the tv room when as she tells, she was just closing a bathroom door near the tv room. How do i make sure who did it and make her admit the truth?

I can't fall asleep because I dread going to work in a few hours. I hate the environment I work in.

Is it possible that the story in novels is depicted from reality thus giving the life and personality of the characters a touch of reality, even though writers sometimes exaggerate for dramatic purposes?

It seems to me that most words with the suffix ism, like racism, capitalism, nationalism, indicate a belief of supremacy associated with the root word. It also seems that many female feminists that I have met aren't really after equality but are instead after positions of domination over males. Many male feminists seem like supplicants and sycophants to females, and perhaps this does bring some level of equality since it parallels male chauvinism so well.

I mean, why they let pass 20, 25+ years? Couldn't realize before something was wrong? Just stayed together for the sake of the children?




(PD.: If you're a grown, life-hardened person and want to mock my "naive" question, well feel free, but you can trash people classily, did you know that?)
