I apparently look like an infant or something, even though I'm 22, and I get asked if my mom or dad is around by salespeople and it really makes me mad. I have a kind of childlike voice as well. Can you relate? Anybody have any good retalitations for those people?

I live in a fairly rural area just south of Indianapolis, Indiana. My town of about 40,000 is getting its SECOND Supercenter.

This will be 8 Supercenters within an hour's drive of my home, NOT including any in Indianapolis. The current one in my town is only about 5 yrs old, and proponents of the second one say that this current one has already exceeded its design as far as the number of customers go.

I say, hire more cashiers at the first one to run all the empty registers so that customers don't have to worry about their ice cream melting before they even get out of the damn store!

In addition, hire a few more highschoolers to corral the shopping carts in the parking lot!

There's no need to build all these new eyesores, taking up increasingly rare open land. Just put those profits into increasing salaries so that they can retain workers and reduce the infuriating lines.

I feel this would be among the best Public Relations moves they could do.

How do you feel?

the other day i visited a senior care center and was depressed for many many days seeing many of the older people's state there. Some of these folks kept of hollering for medicines, someone needed a bedpan, somene else was crying out loud with some sort of pain, somone else just sat there with that blank, lost look in their eyes it made your stomach churn! These folks who once nurtured their sons and daughters all their lives, provided them with everything 'possible' to enrich their kids' lives ( notice i said 'possible' because every parent conceivable tries to do the best for his or her child) and made them capable of living on their own. But now that the parents are old, they are left in 'nursing homes' where someone else - a stranger - could take care of them in their time of need. At least that's what the assumption is. But if we cannot take care of our own parents, how can we expect a stranger to take good care of them? and what about the love and care? can the nursing home employees provide them the love and care that they "deserve"? anyone has ideas about a different setting than the existing structure of nursing homes?

i mean the aging problem.men are mostly into young girls,why?because thats the freaking nature, because human being is nothing more than an animal basically, it will be attracted by whatever its instincts choose and those instincts will choose the younger and so healthier and more productive females. so you should be able to see that there is no point to call them sickos just because they prefer 13-18 teenagers to olders. this is a sick world what can you do...

People have valued and wanted gold for a long time. Is the reason the people in the past valued it so much was because it was shiny (and heavy i guess)? and because it was shiny and heavy (if that's the reason) they valued it and we continued the idea that it's worth so much?

i have some idea why it's worth a lot now, making things out of gold. But what about in the past?

hope this makes sense

I don't go around all prideful because I'm straight. I am often oppressed because of my religious beliefs...should we have a parade for that too? Any other ideas for pointless parades we could have?

Or tell you that you are a sinner? In your mind they're just dope heads any way right? Why does it offend you to the point that you would not want Christianity in your society? I know there are some butt heads out there preaching and throwing the Bible at people, but I've met ALOT of Christians that are actually good people who all they care about is helping people. Unfortunately, they all left the country to help clean up poverty in other areas of the world, leaving behind all the backwoods, extremist Bible thumpers behind to portray a terrible image for Christianity. I'm sorry about that.

But why do they offend you so much anyway if you don't believe in anything they talk about? No hell, no God, no sin--everything that makes you mad about them has to do with those three things, right? When they insult you, calling you wicked, saying you are going to hell, why does it really matter if there is no hell?

Please don't answer if you're going to crack jokes or if you're not an Atheist.
