I'm just asking because I am a law-abiding citizen, but policemen still scare me. When I think of law officers I think of someone who will give me a speeding ticket if I'm barely going over the speed limit (even though I haven't gotten a ticket in years). I don't ever think of them as protecting me. So, it made me curious about other people -- do you see them as people who protect the public or people who are trying to get law abiding citizens if they mess up.

I feel the need to clarify a few things in response to some of the answers I have received to my question about my ancestry. First of all "First Nations " is a term for Indian like in Native American Indian the only difference is I am Canadian. As for being grateful, I was always told as a child I should be grateful that someone wanted me. I was abused physicaly, emotionaly, mentaly, and sexualy all of my childhood years. I had a baby between grade 6 and 7,I was 12 years old and the father was my adopted parents son. I was told to forget about it and never talk about it. I ended up drinking and using drugs at age 13 for 35 years.I am now clean and sober for 8 years now I felt the need to write this because there is so much more to ones life then meets the eye. So as for being grateful that these people adopted me it is hard to be grateful for being abused although I have to say I did make peace with them.

I am turning 16 in two weeks, and I dunno wut to do. I want to have a party, but the weekend before my birthday, which is on a tuesday, is fall break, and ppl will be on vacation. the weekend after my birthday is our school's homecoming. the weekend after that is the other school's homecoming,and half my friends go to that school. the weekend after that is halloween weekend, and ppl will be having halloween parties and stuff. even though it is my sweet 16, it doesnt feel that special, because i dont get my license or a car, cause i dont drive yet, i havent even learned how, and so nothing special will be occurring. there will be no rite of passage for me on this day. so...
-should i have a party in november?
-should i have one at all?
-should i make it a birthday/halloween party? (even though pink puffy sweet 16 decorations dont mix with witches and pumpkins...)
i have thought a lot about this and now...i am tired of thinking.

How hard is it to drive around them?
A couple of hours ago I saw a squirrel that had been hit in the middle of the road, and it was still alive and moving, but it's probably been run over a dozen more times by now. This wasn't even an extremely busy road, and the speed limit is only 45 there. They could easily have driven around the squirrel. I hope they get run over themselves.

I heard that their is a site for people to stay in a town they are close to as they are traveling and they find online people that will let them stay free for the few nights.
something like couchmates.com but that is not it.

i have a disability, and i'd need something light, little to no 'kickback', yet 'effective'. what would you suggest? i've shot a .22 pistol before and handled it well, but i'm thinking it's not as 'effective' as i'd want. serious answers only, please.

I am interested to know how you would feel if you just found out at age 52 that you were of First Nations ancestry I was adopted and have been told all my life that I am English. I have very fair skin and passed easily as a white person. I have known in my heart and soul that I was First Nations for a very long time, but recently have had it confirmed by a search for by biological parents. I was fortunate to get their names through researching my adoption and Vital Statics. Both my adopted partents are in the spirit world now so I can ask them WHY they never told me. Don't get me wrong I am very PROUD to be who I am. It was hard for all those years not knowng who I was and where I belonged. Do you think it was right to keep my ancestry from me ????

That sounds weird, but i mean, if they are doing it for the animals, the only way it will make a difference is if the demand for meat goes down, and the supply will soon follow. And I dont mean all of them, some do protest and everything.

....you listen to a bunch of sh*t on the radio while waiting for a good song, and then you pull into the driveway just when your favorite is playing?

....you cough and laugh at the same time and you can hardly breath as a result?

.....you look very closely out the window, and then a sudden stop bumps your head against the window

.....you go to a public restroom to use the toilet and you lock the door. And then, the lock is freakin jammed when you try to get out?

....a gust of wind blows a bunch of dust in your face and you stumble blindly for the next six minutes?

Life is interesting. lol

When I was growing up I had nobody to look towards. In my family I had no girls my age to look towards for any sort of guidance and I had no sister so I didn't really learn how to act 'like a girl'. So instead I just sort of grew up into a tomboy instead. When I'm joking around I guess I end up saying hurtful things instead, and because enable to really survive in my school I ended up in a lot of fights so I'm a pretty decent fighter too. I also have a sort of attitude problem, in which when I'm pushed too far I have a 'black out'.

The thing is is now I'm an adult, I can't act like that in society. I've always tried to be fair and nice to everyone but it just doesn't work out, especially with people I'm trying to be nice to. So what do I do? I've tried everything from not talking, not joking around, and trying my hardest to be the 'right kind of person' that would fit in society. I'm so confused, mom always sends mixed messages too. Help me!

I know that there are many middle-class and affluent religious people, but why is it that such a high percentage of poor people so religious? You go in their houses, it's catholic toys everywhere. They refuse to eat their stale bread and canned beans until the whole family holds hands and pray. ((I'm not trying to generalize, it's just a general pattern I've seen with my friends who struggled with poverty)). It's ridiculous. Why would they believe in a god? It doesn't seem like "god"'s really helping them out much. Shouldn't poor people be more realistic and practical (not letting religion restrain them from doing what they have to do to get by, provided that it's legal)? **I KNOW THAT MOST POOR PEOPLE WORK HARD**, but some would rather sit on their busted sofa, praying with a bead necklace in their hands and wait for their welfare check.

Graham Greene wrote this: "There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets in the future."
One of my favorite authors says that as we look back on our lives we can put frames around the things that brought joy and gladness. These are windows to our soul, showing us something about who we are and what we will be doing with our life; where our life is calling us.
My "window" came in 3rd grade. My teacher, Miss Kennedy, would sit on the bench and read aloud during part of recess for any who cared to listen. I used to snuggle up right next to her. She was nurturing and kind. I can still see her face and hear her voice. She read "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." I was captivated and my love for good stories was born. I became a teacher and my favorite activity has always been sharing good books with my students.
What about you? Can you look back and see any windows? When did you know what you wanted to do?
