Other - Society & Culture - 28 February 2007

Whenever I need to make a public speech, I end up talking really really fast! Last time I started my speech, it was great, then my legs started shaking. Everyone made fun of the other people who shook during their speeches, so I didn't want them to see it, so I started talking fast to get through it. In the next few days, if I make another good speech, I will get some extra credit points which I really need. I can practice hour after hour, but I still end up talking fast. Then nobody can even understand me except my best friends. I am naturally a fast talker, and sometimes I just slam words together.

Any helpful ideas?

If I stand at 5'8 and I wear a size 9 pant does that make me sound voluptuous or curvy? You know plus size? I don't want to say my weight. I wanna know what your answer is based on that info. Is size 9 even considered big anymore?

Why are there different skin colors? Im not looking for the Bible response, because I already know of that one. But more of a biological reason...

It seems to me that the depression rate in American teens/children is getting higher, the crime and drug rate for teens/children is getting higher, the suicide rate is getting higher. Children today seem to have so much more than they did generations ago. And especially more than children in parts of Latin America, Asia, and Africa do. Yet it seems that the American children do not appreciate what they have and are still unhappy. I watched Oprah's program about the school she built in South Africa and after hearing the issues that those girls have to deal with ( being orphaned, rape, Aids, poverty) and yet they still have drive to succeed and appreciate their life but then I look around at American children including my own who have everything and yet want more and are never satisfied or happy. I think back on my childhood and having to eat ketchup sandwiches because that was all that we had but we appreciated it nonetheless. So why are our children, who have it all, still unhappy?

My parents are both irish. My mother and fathers family tree goes way back to the 1600's. My parents spent a few years in England - where I was born. We moved back to ireland when I was 5. I was never accepted here as Irish. Im obviously not accepted as English either. I have an irish passport. My familys history is irish. My blood is irish. I have an irish accent. Does my place of birth define me as English? If a dog is born in a stable, does that make it a horse? Ive been listening to digs and jibs about this my whole life. ( Well 20 years of it anyway im 25) What do you think?

It is beginning to annoy me.... you ask a question, you elaborate, you make observations. Then some little people with chips on their shoulders start answering and taking words and twisting what you asked especially if its about forbidden subjects like minorities etc. I reckon you should be able to ban these people from answering one of your questions again. That'd be cool!

Has a p imp ever tried to turn you out? What was your reaction? I was in NYC with my family and in the hotel there was a p imp and he was holding like at least a hundred grand in cash. I saw him pay off the hotel to let him operate rooms there. I was shocked but at the same time was like hmmmm...so that's how that works...and really.. me?? It was interesting to say the least.

Well, these three immensely influencial guys are the ones and they are really good friends with every guy in my class. And the leader is despising me for some reason. I already stopped being in their group a short while before because I realized how voilent and how much of a bad influence they were. Now I have to be with the girls, although im not saying that they're not a great group(they are) to be with I have to take control of the situation and it's really really hard to find somebody who's willing to give up being with them so that they could help me.

Why are we so easily victims? Things that "scar" us for life, are things my wife said were no big deal in Korea. A flasher came to her school as a kid, and her teacher just screamed offensive things at him till he ran away blushing. No grief counselors were called, no one was "scarred for life". Are parents raising weak kids?

Ayn Rand said that the ego is the Fountainhead of all great achievement. Why is this so hard to swallow? If we all take care of ourselves, we don't have to drain others and vice versa
