No matter what people say, do, money and fame and fortune seem to be the only things that matter. We rear our kids to be sucessful, we kill ourselves to pay for that new car, we'll ravage our bodies and souls to be models or actors/actresses. We will walk with the devil (figuratively) to get what we want. Yet, in the end, the question that is puzzling me, is why? What makes a piece of paper or a nice car better than happiness? I hear it all the time, if I had a million dollars, but why? If you had a million dollars are you better than me? Do you feel better? If you are a celebrity are you better? I know the answer, I pose the question because the other day I saw a man in a Bentley pass someone by who was asking for a handout, he smirked, told him to get a job, then drove away while speaking on his cell. Is this the world we live in? Money and fame or nothing..... sad isn't it.

I know you can leave your dead body to medical science for research & also in India/Nepal Buddhists leave bodies to be eaten by vultures. You can also be 'buried at sea'. What else is there?

when some one is hungry ,stopping his fooding is a crime.
when some one is feeling sleepy ,stopping him to sleep is a crime.
So,
if some one need sex, stopping him from it ( is it not a crime)

sex is basic need , GOD never stopped anyone ,then why you ?

Loads of places I have gone and found people didn't like England or English people, in america when i went over there last year they kept making fun of that we all have bad teeth, a lot of people were insulting me for being english! even accross europe (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium etc..) where as a tourist the locals are not warm to english people! they don't smile or anything when they find out you are english! Are we english really so bad or something? :(

For instance if i say anything about lazy, ignorant, irresponsibly breeding people with a poor work ethic and speak in an improper manner blacks automatically assume I am talking about them and report me to the yahoo opinion police. I hate these traits in whites too.

Could it be they are saying we act this way because we are of a certain color and have no free will over our own actions and act purely without thought or consideration for others.

What is the point of locking away petty criminals when they view it as a badge of honour? At the end of their prison term they usually end up being seen as the hard boys they always wanted to be by fellow yobs!

What if instead of being given useless cautions and little jail terms they were forced to clean up streets, dig up roads in little pink dresses with dafodils in their hairs! They wouldn't feel so hard and tuff!

What's more ? At the end of each days, honest hard working citizens will be allowed to "stone" them with rotten tomatos. That would be a good stress relief.

Let's bring back the power to the people!

I went shopping and parked my car, I had opened my door and was just getting my bag off the front seat when the wind blew my door open hard into the car parked next to me.
I got out and there was a DINT on the car.
I panicked but closed my door and went into the shops .. 5 mins later I freaked out, went back to my car and drove off.
I feel really terrible and its playing on my mind for not leaving my details but I just worried that I would be shafted and made to pay heaps when I dont have much money as I live alone and barely make do with my payments etc.

I always try to be an honest and good person and I give what I can to others less fortunate but I cant stop thinking about what happened.

What would you have done?
AND .. how can I right a wrong?
Do you think Karma will come back to bite coz i believe in things like this

:( i feel soo terrible and its nearly xmas
