I was born in the early 80's, but I love 70's music and style of clothes. I'm thinking of embrassing that part of me and possiby start wearing bell bottoms. Is there something wrong with that?

my parents weren't married at the time I was born? I am tired of asking why everything is so much harder for me.
Every, single, minute aspect of my life is difficult and sometimes I just want to die.
I have to work twice as hard as everyone around me for things that are just GIVEN to them effortlessly.
I hate waking up everyday knowing what I have to live with.
I hate watching other people live their normal little, perfect happy lives, then they get mad at me for being sad all the time because they are always happy.
Even physically, every part of my body has disgusting flaws, I AM SICK OF NEVER GETTING TO BE HAPPY!
Someone please help, and I don't need to hear the old "think of the positive things in your life" because THERE ARE NONE, AT ALL, I'd rather have never been born at all, anyway.
It's been like this for almost 11 years, I've had a horrible life since before I was 6 years old, but that's when I first noticed it.
PLEASE HELP

And I gotta say, black people sure are racist. And they only seem to direct their hate at white people. Stop blaming society people! If you hate America so much go back to Africa!

What do you think? Check out the video also

I was walking down the street with a friend while out shopping. We weren't bothering anybody, and were minding our own business. Then a car came screeching up to us and a man rolled down the window. He called us all manner of vulgar names. We'd done absolutely nothing to bring this upon ourselves. We were definitely not wearing short-cut or provocative clothing (because someone will probably suggest that as the cause, but it was a cool day, and we were both wearing full jackets). As we walked, the driver kept up with us for a bit, and the passenger just kept screaming abusive names at us. Why would somebody do this? It would never even occur to me to insult random strangers in this way. The part that strikes me as the most peculiar is that it took two adult males to do this: the driver and the passenger. In other words, it wasn't just a single deranged person, but a team effort.

Do you consider yourself to be 100% completely Honest?.......................................................

(ex:)
1. If you knew your best friend (who was soon to be married's) man/woman was cheating, would you tell?.....

2. If you found a wallet, loaded with cash, no ID, no one saw you find it, ..would you turn it in?.....
3. If you found the perfect job, the one you've wanted all your life, but to mark (convicted of a crime) on your application would guarantee you WOULDN'T be hired, would you mark it?..............................................................................


*** I would consider myself to be about 85% Honest. (wish it was more)

Thanks for answering.

Today a Dear Abby letter used the story of a pregnant teen being beaten by her abusive father as a veiled attempt to encourage readers to vote against parental notification laws like California’s Prop 85. A search for a news article or police report to corroborate the letter was unsuccessful.

It’s important to note that Prop 85 would NOT prevent a teen from having an abortion. Prop 85 is about a parent’s right to know that their underage daughter has already had an abortion. Also there is not one, not two, but THREE ways that Prop 85 provides for at-risk teens to avoid having their parents notified about their decision to abort their unborn baby. I believe this is why people against Prop 85 avoid these facts and instead play on people’s emotions by relying on horrific stories of incest and abuse that may or may not even be true.

The truth is that teens make mistakes and need the love and guidance of their parents when they do. Who could take a position against that?

My mom's of African american, Native american, and Irish descent. My father's of Irish, British, Russian and Polish descent.

I look like some fair skin black girl. [Besides the option of 'other'] Does it seem neglectful, obvious, that I check the african american box on an application?

First let me discribe myself:

I'm short for your average black guy, 5'5". I'm light skinned, & I speak normal English at my jobs, not ghetto slang. &I try to treat everyone with respect.

Now here's the discrimination I recieve:

1) People always think I'm trying to be white because I speak normal English at work instead of speaking ghetto slang like the media's stereotypical view on black guys. So they basically think I'm fake and don't know how to be myself when I'm simply being professional & know I'm not getting a job speaking slang.

2) People usually think I'm gay. I think it's because I don't look or act like the media's stereotypical tall dark black guy with an attitude. I don't act like a flaming gay guy, so I see no other reason why they would think this.

3) People think I look angry all the time even when I'm calm & relaxed. I suspect it's because they're not used to working with black people.

It's always the white guys who think this. What do you think?

steady escalation of war & weaponry for 1000s of years, from fists to 60x kill-everything capability

pay/hour from 1000th to million times average, causing extreme violence, hate, disturbance, misery, danger

topsoil all gone in 100 years [see encyclopedia of gaia]

unlimited fortunes giving unlimited power to foment wars for profit & use millions of people as cannonfodder

when justice would give peace & plenty [US$75,000 per family working average hard]

1% getting 90% of world income, ie US$70,000,000,000,000 [trillion] a year, ie US$70,000 for every family in the world, while doing 1% of the work

could we be governing ourselves with less success, with less awareness, with more destructiveness? no

why isnt it in the media? because it wouldnt sell well, people think they can afford the luxury of being unreal
