Sitting in the bar one evening, it was my turn to get the drinks in, I was short of cash, A quick dash outside to the ATM put my card in and requested £50 > £70 popped out with a reciept showing I had withdrawn £50, a £20 profit!!! Great, I thought I'll have some more of that......Card in again requested £50 out popped £30 with a reciept showing £50 withdrawn!!!! I was back to square one. During the evening I also lost £50 cash some where along the line!!! Not a good night out and all very very frustrating, have you ever had 'one of those nights'?

I believe the problem is that people are ashamed or even humiliated to be kind to people who are around them. Do you share this same belief? If not, what do you feel is wrong with people of today and how people in the world presidents and people in everyday life can make a strong long-term if not even permenant difference in the world? This is by a 15 year old girl, AKA me, btw.

They say the average American woman is a size 12-14 and around 5'4"....what do you think a size 12-14 looks like do you think it is beautiful or not...what about a size 8 or even a 5...or simply what is your preference? if you do not know what the size looks like what size body say in celebrity or model (names so I have an Idea do you think is beautiful.

Be honest I don't care if the answers are purely physical that is what I am looking for.

Like I said I am asking the question purely for what physical attraction is for you. Just curious what people have to say.

I'm 3/4 Asian and 1/4 Caucasian while my boyfriend is 3/4 Caucasian and 1/4 Brazilian. I"m American and he's English.
Post-college (in 1 year, woo hoo) I'm considering moving to England. However, when we're together there I swear we get looks all the time. It's annoying. When we're in America together,people don't stare as much.

My boyfriend had a convo with his mom the other day that if we got married and had a kid together, people would be racist towards him/her, esp. if we lived in England.

What do you think?

Is it the cashiers always asking if you are interested in some offer they are promoting at the till, or the guy at the front door handing out leaflets, maybe its queues?

Well, I read that male sharks gang up on females to hold them still, so they can mate. Does that mean rape is okay too?

why is it that the one who administers the toxin first cleans the skin with alcohol like they do when giving shots or taking blood? It's not as if there are any concerns about getting an infection. I know this is a bit of a morbid question, but I'm curious to hear your opinions.

I've noticed on a lot of my questions and answers that people seem to be from all around the globe. I wanted people to tell me where they are from, and what they like about where they live. Me? I live in Portland, OR, USA. I love the mountains and coast being so close. I love the rain and everything being so green. I want to travel someday, but for now I'll live through you!

How many people agree with me?
I live in Iran and I'm a Muslem.Girls are the most complete creatures.They're intelligent, good-hearted, beautiful like angles, wise, hard-working, polite, kind, sensitive, much more clever then boys, always successful whereever they go and whatever they do, they look at the world with an open-mind unlike men and the list could go on and on.I've chatted to so many Americans and found that American Women/Girls are angles unlike men.So I can generalize it.About the divorce: In Iran, 90% of the times women are the winners.Even if she's the guilty one the court will accuse the husband and will make him to pay her too much money untill he's poor.That's why I'm so afraid of getting married.
I wish I were a girl.At least in Iran, all rights are reserved for them.they're always the winner: in study,getting into the best universities, at work, they do their jobs very well, all men love them (contarary to common belief, Iran is made for girls).Maybe 30 years ago men were the rulers of Iran, but now everything has changed.What can I say to describe girls better?Lucky them

are we all being dumbed down by the media and the goverment?

do all the chemicals added to our foods keep us doped up/ or sedated, so that we do not challange what they tell us,

is it benefical to the goverment to actully have divisions in society e.g racism, drug problems, terroism so that when the need arises for them to do something they need to get away with, they highlight something else and we fall for it evey time

is there a higher power/secret society which us "mere mortals" will never gain acess to and it is only, nearly exposed when a member from that society is about to reveal too much information e.g Dr David Kelly

does it seem that an increased number of people who work
for the government killed thenselves before the war in iraq

have the goverment killed its own poeple to get their own way

Then there is another mail that states one of my "relatives" based in Nigeria has died, leaving me $30 million dollars in inheritance which I have to go and claim.

There is another mail that comes from Charles Oboyo, son of Prime Minister of Nigeria about transferring excess funds from exchaneg rates in a US petrochemical project in Nigeria.

Obviously, they need my BANK ACCOUNT and CREDIT CARD details.

How seriously should we take these emails - of course I know they are hoax, but aren't they supposed to be illegal. Shouldn't we report to some authorities and law enforcement.

I am serious about making a complaint against such organizations. Whom to contact?
