I spent a year in Los Angeles back in 1999 and was surprised that hardly anyone knew what I meant when I would say that.

Here in New York, as kids we used odds and evens. I always assumed it was universal but I was wrong.

What I want to know is, What state or city were you raised in, and did you use odds and evens growing up. I'm curious to see if this is an east coast thing.

By the way, the folks I met in Cali all said they used rock, paper, scissors.

I envision a world in which everyone is happy. This world however won't ever become as real the one you live in now. This world consist of to many people that don't care and to many people that care. This means there are people in the world in which don't care about the world and everything in it. These people are that do things as little as littering all the way up to the terrorist. The other group of people are those who use the system to benifit themselfs. Why would I say this is caring to much? I say that because they care to much about themselves. Who has the world's answer. Well I'm sure its not Dr.Phil. What do you think?

I see people everyday who are impatient and can't seem to wait their turn. This applies to all ecomomic backgrounds and races. They can't seem to under that I am only one person and can't assist everyone at once. They get mad at me if they have to wait and I have nothing to do with it as I can only go so fast. I watch how people stand at the door when it is pouring down rain because they don't want to get wet on the short walk to their car. I had to walk several blocks in the pouring rain and in water and got my shoes and feet really wet but I survived. Why does everyone think they are so special when they are no better to get wet than I am. I work as hard or harder than alot of them but cannot afford a car and have to do things the hard way but I think I'm just as good of a person as they are. I'm looking forward to the day the oil runs out and everyone is out walking, that will be hillarious and it will happen someday.

Many people are offended by public breastfeeding because so many of us whip it out in the restaurant or the mall for everyone to get a good look. I can't understand this because I know many people who bf in public and they are very discrete. I've been to many public places and anytime I've seen someone nursing her shirt was up just enough to allow the baby to latch and all I ever see is the baby's head and a wrinkled shirt. I'm sure there were many other times that I have been around nursing mothers and I just didn't notice.
So tell me - why are you looking so intently if you are so uncomfortable with it?

I was watching something on tv about polygamy and it just astounds me that they get away with so much. They should be prosecuted for all the sexual abuse they are involved in. I know not all are like that, but there are alot of children being harmed and nothing is being done to help them. The fathers and husbands hide behind their mask of religion.

Here in Australia it has worked and worked well, with one exception - that is the Muslim community.

They put their religion before the law of the land and I find this unacceptable.

If I was to live in another country, no matter what religion I was, the law of the land is for the benefit of the country and I would abide by that.

Also, if I was to visit an Islamic country, I would cover my head, not wear revealing clothes and abide by their laws.

Why cant they abide by our laws, our culture, etc., and if they choose not to - send them home to their own country, no matter what their circumstances are back home, just give them the choice, then its up to them.

for instance if somebody does something wrong lets say cheat on you or steal something from you why do they feel the right to get mad or upset at you when you call them on it or if your driving and somebody cuts you off or runs through the traffic light and almost causes an accident another good one is when they 100 yards or so down the road and the light turns yellow and they have plenty of time to stop they just keep going and blow through the red light which has clearly been red for a couple of seconds you throw your hands up in the air as to say what the hell and they flip you off like you did something wrong why do they feel justified in being angry dont they know what they did was wrong?
