.......do people make such a big fuss when they find out that a girl is not a virgin and make her go through hell, yet men are just left alone, just because "they're men"??? I'm referring to most African cultures who value virginity and strongly emphasise on "no sexual relations before marriage." It makes it seem as if that phrase is only referring to the females. Men and women are the same. A friend called me and said he wasn't happy and i asked him why, and he says he found out on his honeymoon with his new wife that she wasn't a virgin, and i asked if HE was one before the engagement and he say, "....no, and it doesn't really matter, because I'M A MAN......." think about it people, sex before marriage DOES refer to both male and female, why the pressure on the ladies ALL THE TIME.....i'm mainly referring to the African cultures.

Why do people say I use my disability as an excuse, handicap, or crutch for my downfalls?

Are they just ignorant? I have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Tourette Syndrome, & Generalized Anxiety Disorder. My family falsely accuse me of being schizophrenic & crazy because they do not understand. They also tell me that no one is going to cater to me, and that I have to conform to society, and that I use my disability as an excuse for my symptoms of the disorders. The symptoms of the disorders are the behaviors. This is really getting to me. Also, many people are telling me that no one is going to hire me on the job. If my family feel like I'm crazy, then why do they get upset when I do what's not normal? Ex: washing my hands 50 times/day. Why do I deserve to be excluded from society because of my personality?

I'm a very good person, and I'm the 1st person in my family to get a college degree. I don't expect to live off of low income & be dependent all my life. I want to be an INDEPENDENT woman and do things for myself. I'm tired of being on SSI & Social Security.

why are people letting their kids get so fat?!?!?

I was at a public pool this past weekend and I was noticing how fat everyone is!! I don't think when I was young that people were so grossly fat.. the worse of it is, is that the kids are so fat!

Why do parents do that to kids and let kids do that to themselves?? Its depressing!!

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

I know this philosophical question has been asked a million or more times, but I'd still like people's opinions. Here's mine. If the egg referred to is a chicken egg, then I don't know the answer. However, the egg is never specified. The question isn't "Which came first, the chicken or the chicken egg?" I take the evolutionary, as opposed to the biblical, side. Dinosaurs laid eggs (even though they didn't look like the eggs we know) long before chickens even evolved. So that's my answer. Please don't tell me I'm wrong if my opinion doesn't match yours. I'd like to know what everyone else thinks, please. Thanks.

Why does everyone hate drug dealers?

I mean yes, pretty much all of the drugs they sell are illegal and killing people, but they aren't FORCING people to buy these drugs, or DO them!
For that matter, I could boycott the Liquor Stores or Beer Stores.
They don't force people either but I've had 3 FAMILY members die from getting hit by a drunk driver.
When are people going to realize that marijuana is NOT a problem, and is NOT going to go away!
They should be targeting Crack-cocaine and E and Heroine, things that acually **** people up.
Leave the pot-heads alone, target the crack-heads!
Oh, and for those of you who still think that weed is a "gateway" drug, obviously have never experienced it for themselves.
It's not the DRUG that makes people try new and more drugs, It's the PERSON.
If your weak, you'll give in.

Everyone is brown. Whether you like it or not. Your either really light brown, light brown, brown, dark brown, or blackish brown. So blacks have no right calling whites crackers or white trash and whites have no right calling blacks the n word.
