What cannotes giving an intimidating stare/ glare?

Would someone with almond shape eyes, slanted eyes, be capable of giving an intimidating glare, esp since the media has construed more slanted eyes as seemingly menacing?

No racist answers.
Thanks

I stole this Str8 guy from his wife and made him Gay. Now she won't stop calling me. This is the 4th time I've stole a guy from other wifes in the last 6 months. Should I change my number or call the police on her?

So basically, I've been friends with this guy for a year now, but I always had this crush on him from the start. He probably knows I'm not the exact paragon of masculinity, but it's cool and he doesn't mind. Problem is though, to him I'm a great friend, but to me, well, that's another story.

So what do I do? A barrel roll?

Background: Every year my mom has a family get-together with all her kids, grandkids, etc. For the last 4 years my brother hasn't gone. He says he'll be there and not shown up. Although it's bugged her, my mom won't say anything to him because she knows he won't tell her the reason he's not going. In the past 11 months, my sis-in-law has lost a daughter and been diagnosed with a disease that has a terrible prognosis.
She told me but made me promise not to tell my mom. The problem is, my mom wants to call sis-in-law and confront her about not coming to the family event. I told her that considering what she's been thru, she doesn't need the added stress. My mom knows she's sick but not full picture.
I have honored my sis-inlaw's request but I'm afraid my mom (who isn't known for her sensitivity) will regret confronting her. She may not even make it to Christmas with the diagnosis she's been given and I'm sure my mom will regret laying this guilt trip on her. Please, no rude answers.

My theory is based on the following
Census stats show that black women have higher obesity rates than white women
Black women have higher disability rates than white women.

Just speaking on personal experience: white women are more passive and supportive.

So that's my theory about why white men and black women don't mix. anybody have any input?

dog fighting has gone on for years but now the media has a black male who they can paint as the creator of all animal abuse. granted i think he did it and i don't approve of it. i think he has made some horrible choices and isn't very smart or enlightened.let the punishment fit the crime, is repeat dwi vehicular manslaughter not worse, how about rape, or spousal abuse. Peta is a rabid group of fanatics who like dogs more than humans.

To me harmony and balance means respect and that we should treat all of our relations as we want to be treated because we are all connected. Of course, I know that we need darkness as well as light and I know that we must learn the positive as well as the negative.

I'm a guy and I'm not really into sports at all. I've poor hand-eye coordination, and I like reading, music, movies and dancing. The problem is, most of my friends who play sports (especially soccer) look down on me for not being athletic. I feel like an outcast since they seem to judge me when they noticed I'm not athletic.

Food stamps are conduit captalism at work. The governemt gives a person a food stamp card, that person then goes and uses the card at wal-mart, who sells them the food for a profit. Why don't we just cut out the middle man and give the money directly to wal-mart

buying junk food...

or getting into an expensive car.....

or pulling their welfare card out of a designer purse...

I cannot believe the responses that said, do not judge...it's none of your business..

Do you not realize it is my taxpayer money paying for these people's food? I have worked hard, sacrificed, saved and done without so that I can support myself and my family. Why must I support you with my taxpayer money, when you have not made the same sacrifices? Why must I support you because you made poor choices. You chose to buy an expensive car, rather than buy food. You chose to buy the expensive clothing. You chose not to go to college, not to pursue a career...

Don't get me wrong. I do not mind giving temporary help to those who help themselves...but, I am tired of people who take advantage of the system.

When you steal from the government, guess what? You are stealing from me and all other taxpayers....

Your thoughts

I'm not sure if I am one or not. I have nothing against them but I don't want to be a lesbo! It's like, some of my teachers, all I want to do is please them. Nothing sexual or gross, I just want to do better in that subject or something. There's a girl in my class who I didn't really know very well, I got invited to a sleepover which she was going to as well. We got on REALLY well, even though we've never really spoken before. All the other people got annoyed because we were chatting amoungst ourselves. Another thing, we always get almost exactly the same mark in every subject at school. We're both really competetive, it was the same at the party, we both won most of the games or came second to each other. We hugged when it was time to go home even though we weren't very close before that weekend. Now I can't wait for the summer holidays to end to see her at school again, like I said, nothing sexual, I just really want to be her friend. Help? Am I a lesbian because of this?

all of these women are beautiful and they are all different races, which shows that anyone can be beautiful, no matter what race. so why do so many people on here claim that only their race has beautiful people. if i can find more pics to prove my point then i will add them later

And among their groceries are junk food.

Or, they leave the store and get in an expensive car.

Isn't welfare designed as a temporary assistance, to help people get back on their feet....and shouldn't welfare be a last resort.

If you are having financial problems, wouldn't the responsible thing be to sell the expensive car, get an affordable one. Only by groceries that are needed to sustain you and your family?

Are you upset that your taxpayer dollars go to support people who are making such poor choices?

Or African, or *****, or whatever you want to call it.

And it seems to be working. many Black people assume that they have white or indian in them. Im not saying that there are no mixed Blacks. But Segregation was law until the 1960's and the Black population has been pretty much isolated.

My point is, I have noticed a lot of people saying that Blacks in America are "not really Black." How Black do we have to be?

Black people have already abandoned the idea of Africa as our motherland, are now going to abondon being black altogether?

Hey all. I’m a 22-year old guy. I’m gay, and I’ve known I’m since I was very young. I never had any attraction towards females, and I’m closeted. So far nothing new or different. What’s different is the culture I live in. I live in the Middle East, where basically, gays & lesbians are considered mentally sick by the vast majority of people, and in need for medical and religious intervention. I’ve been born and raised in a religious, Islamic family. They have provided me with love, money, education and much of what parents give their children. But unfortunately, as everybody around, they have the same view about homosexuality. So are my friends, and so is everyone I know, even the media. It’s very hard for me to keep hiding who I’m, and what adds insult to the injury is that I’m considered the “White sheep” of my family. I’ve been always the smartest in school, the most “moral” and religious. Even I didn’t accept the fact that being gay is OK, and used to think it’s against God, and that I’ll go to hell because of it. It took me over 5 years to finally accept myself, as I only understood what being gay meant very late, when I was about 15 . And only until last year that I accepted that I cannot change who I am, and that I’m normal. But As I said, it’s practically impossible for me to tell my family about who I really am. The least they would do is send me to a psychiatrist or make me get married sooner than I’m expected (Yeah I’m expected to marry a girl and have kids...Etc). To give you one incident that explains what I mean:
There was this once when my little brother suspected I watch gay things on my computer because he found links in it. He told me that he’ll never speak to me again, and then he told my mum that when he gets married, he doesn’t want me showing up. But of course, no one believed him, and I managed to convince him that I’m not gay or anything.

I thought of moving away, but I’m helpless. I still don’t have my degree (Medicine, takes sometime), and I never held a job or earned my own money, besides I need a visa to get to many European or North American countries. And believe me, I sometimes cry over myself. I never had the chance even to fall in love with a guy, or hug him romantically or anything, on top of my closet status. I sometimes feel like dying from the inside. I’m even afraid to write down what I feel in a diary in fear that someone could find and see it. It’s so depressing. No one to come out to and expecting them to say “That’s OK”.
I just wanted to share this with people who are like me, or at least see me as normal. I’m not expecting you to magically find solutions for me…Just opening up to you guys & girls.

SICK??? I mean, regarding the homophobia/whatever thing....the mentality of "I'm not going to like you because of how you have sex" thing even though you'll never see me doing it (I hope) but basing a judgement upon your imagination is WARPED. "Oh, I can be your friend, Helen, you only screw guys so what if its a new guy every week, thats normal."

"Oh, I hate you Rodney, you're morally wrong because you sleep exclusively with Henry and thats a sin."

Know what I mean?
