Do you ever get those coworkers who always come by your office or cubicle with daily family or friend drama and you just dont want to hear it? Man! I am sick and tired of people coming to my cubicle and going on and on and on about stupid drama. I even try to make it look like what I'm doing is so important and Im too busy to even listen, I will even sit there and act like Im typing so that they would go away but they dont! aye. Ok sorry had to vent and see if anyone else feels my pain.

There is a muslim girl in my school and nearly everybody hates her. They call her a terrorist and make fun of her and her religion.
She wears a scarf and she is really beautiful. She keeps herself to herself. When people say something to her she smirks and walks off. I dont think she has told anyone about it. Recently a girl pretended she was interested in her religion so she invited her over to her house. The girl got hold of her pic (without the scarf on) somehow and she and her friends got her head and stuck it on a naked womans body and publically humiliated her. Everyone was laughing at her and i could tell she was hurt. People call her ugly, dont know why because she is really pretty. I want to talk to her but i dont know what to say. What should i do? No rude comments please.

Why do people who get out of bed early in the morning get all the kudos and people who stay up late get all the scorn? A person who arrives at work early is percieved as harder working than the person who works late, when they are actually putting in the same hours. Even Benjamin Franklin subscribed to the adage, "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." The truth is 16 hours awake and 8 hours sleep is the human cycle. Why does it matter what time you get up?

Those who do not exist within ever flowing give and take, fail to exist beyond.

Since dawn of our genesis the record of those that remain does not bode well, yet the dusk of these days of assessment descends.

Those, who relentlessly help, only themselves, and their own. While segregating, abusing, and destroying the rest, are not, cast again. All life is indeed part of an evolving stage and most of us have not played an essential role. Most of us do not exist or get along within a balancing interrelationship.

What we profess or preach or whom we claim to follow does not alone reflect worthiness, as even they would tell you. There is no plausible deniability beyond what is done. No matter how old, young, cool, connected, disadvantaged, disabled, alienated, affiliated, afflicted, accomplished, devout, patriotic, traditional, well off, lowly, lofty, frustrated, happy, or destitute. It is time to become commonly grounded because all narrow realms and structures collide and disintegrate.

I have already signed the contract, but I went to a mental hospital this month and I can get a medical discharge. The job sounded cool at first but then I realized its a very dangerous job. Most truck drivers in the Army go to war areas to assist with guns, food, clothing etc. A lot of anti-americans enjoy blowing these types of trucks up. bastards.

Jamie Bulger was killed in a horrific way by two, punk, 10 years old boys who just thought of it a way to have fun. They make me sick and so does anyone who defends them in anyway. They knew what they did to this baby was wrong. Don't make excuses for the little bastards.....just find them and make them pay for hurting a baby, someone who couldn't fight back. They should have all of the pain they inflicted on this little 2 year old boy, inflicted on them, and more. They don't deserve to keep breathing and need to die a very slow and painful death........much like the one they caused little Jamie in 1993. I HATE THEM!!!! I WISH THEM DEATH!!!!!!

I was applying for a job with BoFA and everything indicated I was going to get it, but yesterday they called me to tell me the backgroung check came back "not satisfactory" which was great surprise as I never failed one before. My husband is in the army and I have had tons of backgroung checks done on me before. What is the truth about this damn backgroung checks, can I get a copy? I live in TX.

While I accept that the gap between rich and poor is growing, even the poor are well off in absolute (and global) terms. My father never earned more than £15 per week but we were relatively content...?

Another post on here has me asking, Do people really hate the poor and underpriveledged, and why???? It's interesting because you can have someone who is well off, but cold emotionally and down right mean get more respect than a good hearted person who is struggling. Why is this??? Do people just like to crap on someone else?

How does this mentality help? You have already done it, you can't take it back. And how would any human being be able to predict every out come of an act before hand? IF you beleive that this quote should be used regularly as a way to respond to those in need, please explain why.

Whenever i see teens they always want to learn to play electric guitar. Also, in schools accoustic guitar doesn't seem to be a popular instrument cause bands don't use it. So mostly kids learn Piano, Violin, Flutes, other wind instruments and drums.

Is there a reason kids don't like to learn accoustic guitar and why schools also don't incorporate the instrument into their music programs?

It seems as though kids don't like to learn it cause it's NOT COOL, that's how they see it. They think it's an instrument for the old, and plus MTV and all those things they watch never include it.

They are such a small minority and one that has been persecuted for thousands of years and still are today. Yet a surprising amount of people still love to hate them. What's with all the anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists? Why do so many people blame irrelevant problems on the Jews? Why do some people go so far as to deny the Holocaust? I don't understand anti-Semitism at all. Maybe I'm just naive you tell me.

Why do so many people in the US look down on people still living at home? In other cultures, people save money this way and are way more attached to their extended families. People living at home here are the butt of everyone's jokes, get no respect, and are contstantly made to feel second class. I know a few nice immigrant families who were telling me that they didn't understand why everyone in America were in big empty houses paying mortgages, when they lived in close quarters and were massively ahead of the average joe money wise. Is this "cultural thing" about everyone needing their own place just a bonus for greedy realtors and mortgage companies?????

It seems that when a "well off person"uses their persuasion skills to get what they want they are called "smart" and "repected".(example: asks for money and receives 20,000 dollars towards the charity they want to support)
It also seems that when a "poor" person uses their same persuasion skills they are considered to be "using someone" or "trying to get something for nothing".(example: asks for a ride somewhere or for a little help with an important bill that needs to be paid)
Why is this do you think?
