Its just a preference question. But I'd like to know why you'd choose one over the other.

Hear my story: I have a major problem in my life that I must take. I currently go to high school and the school I am going to is harsh. There are several people who dislike me but there are a few people who do like me but 90% of them are seniors. The people who are harsh are saying i'm gay and overweight and deserve to die and I'm going to hell because I 'came here to take away from all.' I want to transfer out but I know if I do I know I couldn't go back there and my church (which is associated with the school) might banish me. I know it may sound stupid, but it's the truth. The school I want to go to wants me to play football but I know that I won't ever play there. Additionally, they have the option of putting me in a bunch of freshman classes I didn't do in my current school. My two options are this: Talk to my Dean to see if we can work something out in school or transfer and roll the dice at being accepted somewhere else.

if you bought them a designer crystal vase.... would it be wrong to say when they open it and ask, wow, this is beautiful what it this!? and you say....its a very expensive designer vase... would it be wrong to say to them it was "expensive"?

I need to know! is santa real or is it just some guy who breaks in your house and leaves the presents under the tree. Isn't that breaking and entering? My house doesn't have a chimney. How does santa get in? What if someone leaves the fire place on, won't santa get hurt? How does santa make video games. cause they are hard to make. How does santa get the presents? does he steal them? and even if his little elves make the product does the original company that made the toy get any of the profit. Isn't that stealing. he can get sued. If santa "knows when your sleeping, "knows when your awake" isn't that stalking?
What does santa do for a living to pay for his materials? How can he live in the north pole? isn't that impossible?
For some reason i can't understand why people buy a lot of things during this season when you can get it free from santa?

Please tell me the answers to thes questions? My brain hurts.

Arrogant, devious, dirty, dishonest, drug addicts,incompetent, inferior, lazy,self decieved, unintelligent, noisy, passive, poor, primitive, untrustworthy, and violent.

All I hear is "THE MAJORITY OF BLACKS FIT THE STEREOTYPES" or this example "when the "MAJORITY" of people specific to a certain race start behaving like lowlife animals instead of civilized human beings, that is where the stereotypes kick in and the hatred starts to boil."

What is the exact percentage? I also want sources that fit your statistics. People keep on saying the "majority" of blacks fit those stereotypes and more. So how much of a percentage is it?

this probably sounds really stupid but gay guys who haven't come out tend to go for me sometimes. i guess im kind of boyish (short hair and small chested.) but the guy i'm dating right now won't let me give him head but always tries to have anal or sex from behind. so does that mean anything or am i just being stupid?

The Chimney Song
There's something stuck up in the chimney
And I don't know what it is,
But it's been there all night long.
Well, I waited up for Santa all Christmas night
But he never came and it don't seem right.
And there's something in the chimney
And it doesn't make a sound,
But I wish you Merry Christmas.

There's something stuck up in the chimney
And I don't know what it is,
But it's been there all week long.
Well, the dog keeps barking up the chimney flue
And we don't know what we're going to do.
Cause there's something in the chimney
And it doesn't move around,
And it's been a week since Christmas.

There's something stuck up in the chimney
And I don't know what it is,
But it's been there all month long.
Well, it's jammed up tight above the fireplace
Now the house smells funny, such a big disgrace.
That there's something in the chimney
And it doesn't talk at all,
And it's been there since last Christmas.

There's something stuck up in the chimney
And I don't know what it is,
But it's been there all year long.
I'll been waiting up for Santa like I did last year
But my brother says, "He's already here."
And he's stuck up in the chimney
And he doesn't say a word
And he'll be there every Christmas.
And we'll have him every Christmas.

It pains me to see/hear about so many fellow human beings suffering around the world. Sometimes, their only main fault was circumstances. For example, a Rwandan kid in the 90s didn't ask to be born into the Civil War. He just was. I feel bad that so many people have to suffer.

For the most part, our luck of being part of this society is thanks to us being born in this society. The fact that you can even read what I'm typing is a testament to that.

How do I help better the condition of those in unfortunate circumstances?

What happened to the water? Where did it drain off to?
Now I'm not trying to be sarcastic I'm just trying to learn.

Probably not as i would imagine as if anything did land on earth or be discovered (usa is the worlds leading space explorationists & bible bashers) it would quickly be dismissed as religion has the control over most countries to keep them in fear at a certain level.
