Humans are mammalian animals. What are their other options? Vegetable or mineral? Hey, they can choose... animal, vegetable or mineral. I'd rather be an animal instead of a vegetable or mineral.

I'm currently writing a story and one of my character's parents are very rich. However, I'm not sure what I should say they did for a living to become that way. What are some jobs that can make you rich, but not famous?

So just two days ago, I met this guy named Paul who was a cousin of a friend of mine. Paul was visiting my home town temporarily and he would always flirt with me and try to get touchy with me and although I don't really find him attractive, I was somewhat drawn towards him. Even friends would notice he would flirt with me but the first day he was here, he met my friend named Theresa and according to his cousin, my friend, "I guess he likes talking to her or something because he's always like oh is Theresa coming? " and he called her up and said we (the gang) should hang out. I think he has something for her. What is funny is that I found out all this stuff about Theresa today and now I'm just so sad because I felt like all the attention he gave me was nothing and that me being drawn to him is useless. I feel inferior now. I mean he would still call me too but it doesn't seem to be the same way he called Theresa.

Can someone analyze this for me?
Btw, he went back to Canada today..

for example, you don't have to do anything in particular to gain weitht, i.e. eating any specific foods. All you might ultimately have to do is just like eat normally and excercize/live your life normally, and in doing so you could gain weight. But even if you did not gain weight you would not lose weight, either unless you altered what you ate/how you excercized. In essence, you were not even trying to gain weight, and yet you did anyway, without even trying. When it comes to LOSING weight, however, you actually have to do certain things, i.e. eating certain foods which are almost always impossible to come by and expensive, and excercizing regularily to even lose any weight at all. And in order to maintain your weight loss you have to continue to eat the expensive foods and excercize like that, like you can't just eat normal inexpensive foods and live your life normally or else you will gain the weight back and/or you will not lose any more.

Can anyone help me with my history?

I understand that when the Slave Trade happend, We were torn apart from our families. I heard their was a battle to save us but we lost.

This is for anyone that is Black in Africa today, Here's your chance to provide any information about our history that we in America have lost.

Were our ancestors Egyptian?
What did we use on our hair?

Anything about our culture you can provide is great!

Oh and if you are going to have disrespectful answers, I will be glad to report abuse.

This is serious business and those of you who are not Black should respect others diferences as people should respect you.

I quit drinking alcohol a few weeks ago, but still would like to go to bars for the social scene (since I'm single). Without going off my diet (lost 15 lbs while not drinking alcohol), how is the best way for someone to spend time at a bar and not come off as being cheap nor a prude?

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — James Ford Seale, a reputed Ku Klux Klansman, was sentenced Friday to three life terms in prison for his role in the 1964 abduction and murder of two black teenagers in southwest Mississippi.

Seale, 72, was convicted in June on federal charges of kidnapping and conspiracy in the deaths of Charles Moore and Henry Hezekiah Dee, two 19-year-olds who disappeared from Franklin County on May 2, 1964.

The young men's bodies were found two months later in the Mississippi River.

The prosecution's star witness against Seale was Charles Marcus Edwards, a confessed Klansman, who received immunity from prosecution for his admitted role in the abductions and his testimony.

As far as I'm concerned, they should have jailed that last klanner boy, Charles Marcus Edwards because he shouldn't have gotten off scott free just because he turned state's evidence. Why hasn't anyone destroyed the monkey's before now? Why were they left roaming the earth in their own waste?

When I was in first grade, we'd get in trouble for saying "shut up" to each other. No lie.If you said 'hell', it was instant time-out.

I graduated high school last year. First graders now, at my old school, are dropping f-bombs on each other frequently, while the teachers (the SAME teachers) look the other way.

What the hell is going on? This is the crap that makes me think the media, the rap, the video games, are a really, really bad influence.
