My husband's ex is on welfare and has been for 5 years. He has shared parenting of his 2 children with her, but he still has to pay her child support. Even though he pays little, $45 a week, that is all she has lived on for 5 years along with her welfare. She owns 2 computers, with internet, makes paymenst on a 98 Durango, and smokes 2 packs of cigarettes a day. How has the system gone wrong??

What would your reaction be? The person of authority fortunately did not believe the other person, but I felt a strong urge to get back at her. I'm pretty upset because I do not use that word and that this person knows I did nothing wrong so she had to make something up because she doesn't like me. I have done nothing bad - in fact, I left her a note saying I wanted to call a truce. If she made up a false story about me using that word, do you think it's because deep down inside her she thinks I am a racist? Or do you think it's just the worst thing she could say about me to get me in trouble? I don't really know how I should feel about this.

you know, remember when everything wasn't so modern and technological. And neighbors actually talked to eachother over the fence. The neighborhood kids played outside until they were called in for dinner. And people didn't hide in their houses locked with ADT. And they didn't need the t.v to tell them what the weather was. instead you could just go outside and watch the sunset. And kids walked to school without clutching their precious cell phones. and they didn't have to worry about any maniac rapist pediphile's. It's just not the same........and I have the feeling it will only get worse. But those days were the best.

It's ridiculous! Isn't it? Chinese people have totally different features from one another. I mean, just because they all have the same color of hair and eyes doesn't they all look the same. You know?

Hi, I have been smoking weed for a few years now. I don't need the criticism, I know it is bad or whatever but so are a lot of things........ MY QUESTION IS...... I don't seem to get that high any more. When I first started smoking, I got stupid high, now I struggle to even feel any thing other than tired. Are there any tricks or what is my problem? I usually smoke a joint but sometimes I use my bong or pipe.

Don't you love when you get a wide range of answers and they all make sense in different ways? When they all speak from the heart with intelligence and experience?

When my Gran made a mistake or she was cross with someone she would say
'Silly a***'
I always remember laughing at that as a small boy.

The other was
'If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all'

After being single for almost 2 years i would like to start dating again to find a partner, but i'm rather shy around men when it comes to dating. I'm 28 and i think these days lots of people think it's weird to be shy around members of the other sex. What can i do about this? Is this a turn off?

i had a lock smith come to my house and i never have cash he was able to run my card in his van and get an authorization. To me that is great i never have more than 5 dollars on me. If I loose my wallet (which i have) i am not resposible for the charges that people put on my cards. But if you have cash it is just gone. i know people who still walk around with wads of cash i can't stand to have money on me. Do you think now that you can use your card almost everywhere that cash will become absoulte or at least used less

Were humans meant to pair up for life?
Some animals like penguins and king fishers do.
But most animals that are similar to humans such as apes and monkeys do not have monogomous relationships.
Where do we fall?
