Cultures & Groups - 6 October 2007

We are born surrounded by people in families, or even as orphans there are people around us.
With our life and bodies we do everything smoke,drink,grow fat,flunk school or succeed despite what we do everyone say: "it's your life". But a friend came to me and said that "your life is not yours to take (he did not understand people who were suicidal for personal,political reasons or Faith).Your life belongs to these 35 people that have known you for better or worst your whole life, friends and foes your existence is interdependent with theirs. Hence commiting suicide is a selfish and immoral act which is not your call in the first place".

Do you think he is right that at a certain extent our lives are not really ours?

I don't like noisy crowded places, pubs or clubs, and don't smoke.

My interests seem to be either solo and home based, or don't involve crowds, eg the countryside.

I lack confidence, and rediculously shy, except with animals and birds, and been stuck in a rut over the last few years.

Any helpful suggestions please?

I was wondering if Japan had the same problem we did. We just discovered tainted meat in Walmart and Sam's and that's in US. What is our country doing to protect us?

Did he have help to kill the matador? maybe 4-5 bulls ganged up on the human and then they stabbed him with slow acting poison-whilst one of the bulls minced around with a cape and a funny hat.

I have no problem finding men to be with but why does it feel so good when I wear sexy panties and stockings and why do my men enjoy seeing me in them so much?

I am thinking of giving it a try. My friend looks like she stepped out of a department store everyday and she shops for all her things at goodwill. It also serves a good purpose or 2. You can get rid of things you dont need that are still good. The money goes to a good cause.

It angers me quite often when I remember things that I had to put up with on some really bad jobs or situations. On the other hand, I figure that I should just give the world the big finger and laugh, because I made it through life, and did alright, in spite of all the sh*t I was handed.
If I had a glass of wine to raise, I would say, "Here's to all you unfriendly and abusive people that I had to work with on some of the worst jobs that I've ever worked on, and my wish to you all is that you had to spend the rest of your working days on that same crappy job that I left in good time."

I know, I know, I sound a little bitter, but I'm working on it and trying to get over it. Growing up with abuse, then discovering much later in life that I probably had ADHD as a child, still have it I suppose, doesn't make for a life of ease, but I did alright. I'm retired now, and live with my wife in a very close and loving relationship. So that ain't so bad.

What happened to respect? I think people dont respect our elderly people because we as Americans has lost control of our children? We stopped teaching our children how to love and how to listen and respect eachother....Our Elders have so much wisdom to give to us if only we would give them our time,love and respect. they are the foundation of this once great country..whom we have taken out our Heavenly Father, and the love of God, and our Elders.....

Why does it seem like there's two forms of EMO audiences: 1)the nerdy-guitar-strumming-black-rimmed-glasses-wearing-messenger-bag-carrying retard (think Dashboard Confessional) and 2) the wannabe-facepainting-eyeliner-abusing-goth-whore (think Good Charlotte)......since when did Goth and accoustic guitar get lumped together into EMO?

i'm not saying all, but certain groups have a distinctive sound. I know you can change it, but is the sound that comes out of their mouth genetic or culturally shaped? how are the different groups different? do they have something physically different? what's different? like the physical scientific reason? do they have longer or shorter something in their throats or vocal chords.

i sound like emperor palpatine from starwars. but you wouldn't ever figure that by the way i look.

Why do you think we should NOT build a wall between USA and Mexico?
i'm making a speech that shows pityy/sympathy appeal. therefore, i'm searching for some information that i can use to make my speech sound pity/ sympathy for the latinos. any help?

So far what i got down is:
we shouldn't build a wall between usa and mexcio because latino parents cannot visit their children in America.

I was because my dad was on the Civil Defense council and the talk was all about building bomb shelters and how long we would have to remain in them after the bomb, and what supplies you would need, and what would happen to the animals outside and what the fallout would do to us.
Now it is probably more of a reality but I was more afraid as a child.

My grandpa was a freemason until he "saw its evils" and went to become a Christian minister. He keeps my grandma in fear about it saying that if he tells anyone anything about it, the masons will kill him. I know this to not be true, based on alot of research and my brother who is in the fraternity. I got into an argument with my grandpa over the fraternity and the oath you take. How do I convince my grandma, possibly my grandpa, that freemasonry isn't a cult, or against Christian values. (I am 100% for Freemasonry, and firmly believe in its tenets. My problem is, my grandparents don't understand Masonry and why it has to have secrets. Again, This is in no way disrespecting Masons, I'm simply trying to alleviate their fears. NO ANTI-MASONIC REPLIES PLEASE!!!!!!!)
