I lived there for about 15 years and if they are not flashing the new gadgett, they are showing up the new car or house they got. At work most middle and upper management would not even look at the people who work under them or people who they are not doing business with, About five years ago I moved to a southern state and it is different, I even get to meet the CEO of the company where I work and about 99% of the upper mangement, which I continue to talk to, they are friendly and make you feel welcome at most company sponsored events and even outside of work. I just don't understand why the 360^ change?

Okay, let's face it. Some people are smart and some people are dumb. Does a person's actions in his or her life and their own personal ambition to educate themselves determine how intelligent they are? Or, is intelligence merely something that someone is born with?

Remember that scene where George Bailey is dancing with his soon to be wife in the high school gym and the floor opens up to reveal a swimming pool? Is that a fabrication? Was that the cutting edge technology at the time then they realized the wood floor warped from the pool water so that it wasn't a good idea? Any examples still in existance?

I think that some of the countires in Africa which have very high birthrates could reduce their poverty by reducing the number of children they have. Even if they don't have access to contraception they could just stop having sex after 1 or 2 children. The men are just as much to blame as the women, maybe even more so because i heard in some cultures men expect sex from women when ever they want. If these attitudes continue how much more overpopulated are some places going to become?

More and more, I see obnoxious "questions" from fellow users whose only reason for being here is to proliferate their shallow ideological agendas. And it's always atheists, too. What is with this? Trust me, the world would be a better place without atheists. Did you know that 99.9% of genocides in the last year have been caused by atheists? Make no mistake about it, Hitler was an atheist, too. I mean, when will people stop force-feeding their agenda down people's throats, with absolutely no intention whatsoever of getting responses that might give them further knowledge? Puh, screw Bush. He's such a screw-up, and so is everyone who disagrees with me. There's SO many people on this site who disagree with me. What's with that? Either come here to ask a real question, or don't come here at all. No one wants to have your ideology shoved down their mouths. Man, I hate Christians.

I just turned 18 but I'm still in high school. Nobody knows, not even my best friends. I feel so lonely and depressed all the time about it and I need someone to talk to but I'm afraid my parents would be dissappointed in me. I've heard them say stuff sometimes about gays and lesbians that wasn't very nice. Does anybody out there have any suggestions?

that we are all essentially Africans?
There was a programme on Channel 4 that tested people's DNA and showed that a lot of British caucasion people had Middle Eastern DNA. It was really funny because these people despised "foreigners"!

Armed with this knowledge, shouldn't we all embrace the knowledge that there are no RACES just one RACE?

I realize this needs A LOT of editing, but what do you think so far? Does it have a good message?Title: Where is my life heading?

Typical question.....That pertains to anyone of any age. When you're 12 you might wonder, "What's highschool gonna be like?", when you're 15 you might wonder, "Where does my future lie, what's my career going to be, what college will I attend?", when you're 22 you might wonder, "Wow, so this is life after college...The REAL world.. What will I make of it? Will I succeed?",

27: "I've got a career...But am I really happy with it?"

29: "Oh God, I'm almost 30.....What's become of me?"

37: "Only a few years until...Soon, I will be heading into 'middle-aged'.... Sigh...Have I done everything I wanted to do before I turn 40?"

46: "I must learn to appreciate things for what they are... Will I be able to? I'm aging quickly...Is it truly inner beauty that matters?"

54: "Retirement is just around the corner...Do I have everything I need to continue living a comfortable life?"

67: "Those youngins and their fast ways...Need to learn to accept things and stop with all that high-tech nonsense.... My life, have I made my mark? Will I be remembered?"

79: "I'm blessed to have lived to this age... My family, my friends, I love them... But, being so worn and tired, what will they want with me now?"

88: "I see the light.... Am I forgiven? Will Christ take me into his Glorious Kingdom?"


So tell the 12 year old everything will sort itself out. Highschool can be great, but is also filled with temptations.. As they say, "Live Above The Influence" Not only the influence of drugs and of sex, but above the influence of letting someone control you, above the influence of doing "what's cool" just because you can, etc...

Tell the 15 year old their whole life is ahead of them... Tell them you support their choices.. Help them, support them, but don't make major decisions for them..Be beside them, set an example, this is the age they need it most...Even though they go through their stages of emotions and rebellion and acceptance, etc....Know it will pass and remember what it was like when you were their age.

Tell the 22 year old to get involved, make friends, be themselves. Tell them to chose a path in life they love, not one others have set out for them.

The the 27 year old to take a good look at themselves and to reflect upon their life.

Tell the 29 year old 30 is a "bench-mark in society", but they shouldn't think this is the end of things. Tell them one day when they're 50 they'll look back and wonder why they were so oblivious and how much wiser they are now then they were at 30.

Tell the 37 year old, if they need to do something crazy, then do it, just so long as you're not putting your life in danger...Tell them time will pass, and one day, hopefully they'll be able to say, "Well, all right then. I am 47, I might look 57, feel 77 somedays, but my heart and my mind tell me I'm 20 again. I love my age and I'm happy with it."

Tell the 45 year old what you told the one who is 37.... ;)

Tell the 54 year old that yes, they should make sure things are in order, but not to become overwhelmed or overtaken by it. Life's too short to live worrying about material posessions.

Tell the 67 year old, if you have loved and been loved, then you will be remembered. No life is a mistake or a waste, but some are more meaningful then others.

Tell the 79 year old you want to hear about them. Ask them to tell you stories of their life. Tell them how much you care and wish you could've been around during "their time".

As for the one who is near death...Pray for them...Pray that they will be delivered into God's hands...
