Force being used.. Gun pointed to your head.. You have to make up a price to sell yourself... Resonable price .. i.e from $1 - $1 million. How much would you ask for .. and are u really worth that much? as in slavery.
Take care now.

Things I have done:
Told him to shut up.
Told him to shut the **** up.
Told him to get away from me.
Told him to not touch me.
Told him that he was immature.
Told him I didn't like him.
Told him I didn't think he's funny.
Told him that he's rude.
Called him a dumbass.
Told him to wipe that stupid smile off his face.

What he often does:
Smiles like an idiot.
Calls me from three seats away.
Throws things at me.
Calls me "babe" and tells me he wants me. (Who does he think he is? Petruchio? I'M NOT A SHREW. :c )
Whistles at the teacher to get her attention.
Yells "ballleeerrr" over and over again. And then laughs like a dumbass.
Called me stupid because I finally got him angry. Then the next day talks to me again.

No, I'm really bothered enough that it gets me angry. Mostly, I say everything with indifference, so no comments about "oh well maybe if you didn't react so much, he wouldn't bother you." Because now, I totally ignore him, but everytime I laugh, he thinks

Say you have lived in the same city and been around the same people for over 10 years. Your personality has been pretty constant, and everyone knows it very well. Some people like you and some don't like you and that's the way it's always been. Well now you decided you need to get to know some people more, and want to become friends with some of these people who 'didn't really like you' all along. How could you change thier minds about you without seeming fake and without all of a sudden changing the way you are? Or, if first impressions had never been good enough, would this be a futile effort?

I recently took a trip to SubSaharan Africa to hunt Giraffes and Hippos, and to spread the word of our lord to the natives. While there I had unprotected intercourse with several female and male prostitutes. What should I do? I want to be intimate with my wife tonight, how long should I wait?

Well i'm quarter of this and 1/8 of that and 2/3 this, they divide themselves up into little pieces. I don't get it. If someone ask me I say Indian. But only if I'm asked by co-workers, friends. And I never ask somebody their race. I don't care.

I have a history project i'm doing that requires a descriptive paper. My topic is triumphs and tragedies of the civil rights movement in the 60's....I just wanted to know what a good intro sentence would be. I have one that I really like but I don't know if it makes complete sense.....

The topic for my History Day project is : Triumphs and tragedies of the Civil Rights Movement and other events related to the progress of blacks receiving equal treatment from whites during the 1960's.

We hear about all these nonsense stories about people not being able to decorate for christmas because it offends someone somewhere. I am not religious, but I celebrate christmas for the kids, so I roll my eyes everytime too. But if you think about, it is almost always the christian/catholics who butts their nose into everybody elses business. They get in such a huff not only about things like abortion and gays, but violent video games and pornography. I say we give them a taste of their own medicine and take away something they like just cause we feel like it. Who is with me?

I don't think it does.

P.S. I am black. Should a white person have deny this ability to discern black people by their voices because they aren't black?

I am a senor citizen who has long since retired. As a part time job and to keep myself busy, I drive the school bus to pick up the kids in my town. I really like my job and driving the kids around. I have a long white beard and am pretty chubby. During the christmas season, for over 8 years now, I wear a santa hat so I look pretty much just like santa. I think the kids get a kick out of it. Then the principal told me I had to stop wearing my hat and either shave my beard or change it so it looks different because a mother of some kid complained that I was forcing my religious beliefs on them? and she was gonna sue. I guess I will quit, but what do you think?

For example, they type like this: "ii liike iit when iit raiins."

Why have I just noticed this today? I've seen about five people typing like that. How long have they been doing this, and why? How would they spell "Hawaii"?

Me(White) and my buddy(Black) went to a dive bar to grab some beers. We both got drunk and ended up gettng into a brawl with two other guys who were there(Both black). The cops arrested all of us. While we were in the holding cells we sobered up and all four of us agreed that it was just a drunkin bar brawl and nobody was hurt so we would all not press charges on each other. The judge gave the three of them a Disturbing the Peace Fine for $400 each. Since I was white I was charged with a hate crime assualt and now will be fined $6000 and 3 months in jail. What the hell is wrong with this country?

I had a lawyer, and up until the judge decided on his example, we all thought we were just getting a disturbing the peace fine. I'm not even mad at the cops, I mean we all deserved to get arrested but now my life is screwed, I'll have a record. My lawyer is trying to fight it (Which is already costing me a lot more even if he does get it overturned.) The judge was white.

You can read all about Australia in a text book, but you'll never really understand what it's really like.

I'm curious. What are the best things about Australia? What are the worst? What's going on down there? I'm interested about the culture, the people, the ideals, the history, the politics, everything.

I live in the United States.

I am in my late 30's, but I have embraced many of ideas and work ethic of the "Greatest Generation," the people born and raised during the depression. This group laid the foundation of what we cherish today.

Many films, books, and documentaries have recently come out in the last few years showing the determination and resolve of the depression age generation. When I look at this present generation to the mentality of a century ago, I become very depressed. How have we declined so far so fast? Why do we blame others for our own misfortune? What is going to happen to the United States if we continue to decline downward into this lazy, technology dependent, the government owes me mentality instead of truly working for everything that you have or want? THINK ABOUT IT!
