I'm more of a wall flower I guess. I just am not a people person and don't like to get out and socailize. I can do small talk, ie."Hi, how are you ect. But that's all I want! My therapist said if I was ok with it, that's what matters. That all people are NOT created equal. LOL!
Are you comfy?

Now before you launch into a fit about how materialistic you think I am, I want you to consider something. As you sit there in your outrage, thinking 'I don't go out with people because of their money!' ask yourself when you last went out with a homeless, smelly or unkempt person. Never? Well, let me tell you why. Soap costs money. Shampoo costs money. Deodorant costs money. Haircuts cost money. Clothes cost money. Food costs money. A house or flat (even a crappy rental) costs money. Getting the picture? Now, not that many of us are running around singing 'Material Girl' as our anthems, but let's face it - money may not the be all and end all, but it's not irrelevant, either.

How does culture explain Billy Budd's and Socrates' death? They are the victims of unaccepted death obviously, but i want to make a connection between culture and their death. Is it possible to make a connection and if so, how?

I just want ot know why a large majority people seem to be closed minded and act like they lost there freedom to be individual. Everyday the same just like the next, like sheep in a giant herd we call the human race, dare we stray and express ourselves and really say whats on our minds or just couwer and deal with it. I not saying get in big trouble, but would it hurt to ask why and keep doing it to get a straght awnser and the truth. I just want to say look around and see whats going on maybe then you may see my point. For those who already do great but now what limits can we go to, to get freedom indivduality and creativity back. The 60's are gone but really whats going on ?

How is this a challenge? Tolerance, is a big aspect of this, such as accepting others opinions or tolerating smoking in public. Do you have any other ideas or opinions about this, in any way, shape or form?

People find the need to answer these questions with the unsumption that they're correct, with/without doing research. Which, by all means, is fine. However, why do some people find the need to assume some questions are either so stupid or outrages, that they find it there "duty" to answer them in a negative way???

I think they do it because (answer after q&a)

-k- last night, me and my friend Amber were playing with a ouija board and I swear to God it was moving and spelled out actual words. Amber is insisting (even today) that she wasn't pushing it. I've known Amber since I was 5 years old, and she would've told me by now if she was just messing with me. And I know that I was not deliberately pushing it.

What are your thoughts?
Have any of you been freaked out by ouija boards before?

Something doesn't seem right about people who have superior authority with inferior intelligence. I know that if Chicago police acted more prudently, the city would save millions of dollars every year on court settlements.

I know that police are heroes and work hard and put their lives on the line and blah blah blah. But wouldn't it make sense to require a college degree? I mean, they have a lot of responsibility!

I've seen a cop sleeping in his car in a parking lot, and another charge full speed, sirens and lights blaring, blowing traffic lights, and pull into a 7-11...for a pack of smokes. Come on!
