It may just be that people are not really that bothered how correct thier spelling is on this site but i cannot help but notice it, it seems to be a lot of Americans too (which by the way is nothing personal) i just wondered if anyone knew the percentages of people with Dyslexia as it is a big problem here in England and one that keeps on being ignored too

Please explain this to me. A man teaches his son how to be a man and his daughter how a woman should be treated. A woman teaches her daughter how to be a lady and her father teaches her how a man should treat a lady. Men and women have different roles in raising a family and each role is important. I have the deepest respect for single women raising a family. I am a married woman raising a family so their job is more difficult than mine. I just disagree that a man just is not needed, as if donating the sperm is enough.

I've already written about gas prices, taxes, the patriot act, and immigration. I don't want to write about the war between Isreal and Hezbollah for several reasons.

Ok I dont easily disown anyone, let alone a family member. But my brother is a drunk, he has screwed me over since i was very young and just recently I asked him to stay at my house with my baby while I went out with my husband. Baby was sleeping and my brother left to get beer!!!!! I immediately disowned him and screamed at him (if u knew me u would be in shock, i have never yelled at anyone before). ANYWAY my family wants me to forgive him and that's out of the question. I found out recently that we will all be in the same house for a week over Christmas. I dont want to affect everyone elses holidays - my husband is super pissed too. I also dont want to ruin my holiday and Im scared Im going to be a mess.

MYTH 1: The US was founded on Christian principles

MYTH 2: US Conservatives tend to be patriotic, ethical Americans; liberals tend to hate America and are immoral.

MYTH 3. The US has a liberal media.

MYTH 4. The US doesn’t need improvement compared to other countries; it is the greatest country in the world.

MYTH 5: The US government loves to help other countries


*Only 18% of Americans own passports and bother to travel outside of the US.
* 85% of US soldiers in Iraq believe that they are there to get revenge for 9/11.
* New international student enrollment in US grad schools has decreased by 6%, because of xenophobic post-9/11 US visa restrictions, jacked-up tuition fees and better educational opportunities in the EU and Asia. So no, not everyone wants to come here anymore, because it's become a land of incredibly limited opportunity, and we've lowered our educational standards.

Okay, abortion is banned. The death chamber is working at fever pitch. Religion is back in the classroom, courtroom and TV room and Darwin is, I dunno, erased? War is big, environment is too old school to matter, civil rights take a back seat...

Am I wrong? What would society be like with no liberals?

Hey all, I am male, 18 years old and I study acting here in Los Angeles since I was 15. It's my dream to become an actor (screen). I am quite good looking, my height is 5'4" 1/2 (without any shoes and about 5'7 at the very most WITH shoes...), would you say I am short? Do I still have the potentiality to grow taller after 18, even few more inches? Do you think my height will influence the opportunities of being able to get acting jobs here in Hollywood? Serious roles, not a Gary Coleman or a Danny DaVito (with no offense to them...lol)

I've studied many years to come to this point and now at the thought that height could influence my future depresses me greatly. What do you people think? Thank you for taking time to read!

so......do you think that white people are being too naive and black people are taking white people's advantage, by bringing up how they were oppressed and the notion of slavery! i am not being racist but it feels like black people are getting more advantages if you notice in media, or employment, etc!

I was watching some show last night about these twins who's mother totally farked up their mind with all kinds of white nationalist bullshite. She had these kids wearing hitler t-shirts and denying the holocaust. These little Goebbels are also home schooled. I think crackpots like this should have their children taken away.

* I remember feeling that way when my dad was killed by a passing car one evening. I had just spoken to him a few moments before he left the house but, I didn't realize it would be the last time I would ever speak to him. Although I had family and loved ones around...I just felt so isolated and empty.......
