I've been unemployed for 3 months now, I voluntarily left my position due to some ethical behavior that was going on. Just to make the story short. I had put in my two weeks because of this unethical behavior but than was asked to work another position and I would be salaried. I was also told that things would change and this coworker would probably be gone when they got more people. They hired more people but this coworker was still there and it didn't seem like there were any changes for the better so I just left. I wrote a letter to the president but am not sure if it had an impact on this person getting discharged which I found out later on through a credible source. I'm not a loser but this experience with the last company just tore me apart, I've been depressed and get really sad thinking about what I went through, the place that I worked at before that ripped me off by making me pay their taxes and the other one before that didn't care about their employees (highly stressful)

true story. one day i found a twenty dollar bill stuck to the underside of a paper towel dispenser in a bathroom at a resturant. on the bill it said "do NOT turn this into the manager. use it yourself, but then remember to pay it forward as soon as you get it a chance." then it said (heart) JB. i thought it was differant and a unique way of paying it forward so i went out and bought a cd i had wanted but didnt have the money i for....a few months later an opportunity presented itself for me to pay it forward, i took $20 and donated it to a charity for cancer research, and i put the initals JB on the little thing they give you to sign.

thats the most recent time i have ever payed it forward. so have you payed it forward recently? if so, what did you do, and what inspired you to do it in the first place?

I think the country needs to make an effort and send their contestants. I heard that the cost for sponsoring the girl is too much, so the countries that cant afford it don't participate. But it would be nice to have Armenia represented... my personal favorite: http://www.armenians.hu/html/armenia/2006_1/082.jpg


What are your opinions?

Recently, I could to know others countries like France, Italy and Spain. This tour through those places was very important to me because changed my impression and feeling about my country Brazil.
Now, I’m sure: Here is the best place to live. Brazil is the biggest mainland South America country. Else, I think that it is bigger than whole Europe (except Russia)
Our economics, compared with the rest of world is among the ten more developed countries. Our politics system is perfect but the politicians are very bad. Unfornately, someone work for theyself to work for our country instead.
The Brazilian people are very nice. They are formed to a lot of different races. Principaly the girls are beautiful
The change that have happened here and a think important is about Brazilian justice. Sometime ago I’ve seem on TV news the judicial proceedings to judgement of forty corrupts politicians. For me, this look like a enormous end very good change!!

Hi, ive been clean for only two days now. Today will be the third. Ive been smoking everyday, none stop for about 5yrs now. Thats just non stop. In all i've been smoking for 12yrs. Im really trying to clean my life up and get my act together. Marijuana hasn't stopped me from doing normal things like having a good job and school. Anyway, Its really hard for me right now that im going through withdrawal. I can tell im more depressed and irritable i also don't eat as much "go figure". I dont want to go out or do anything. Its ironic because thats what people say weed does to you when you intake. Im really not asking a question rather trying to get some words of encouragement or wisdom even some advice on some things that i can do from those who UNDERSTAND and ignored will be the ones who just want to criticize just to get some points so feel free to do whatever but im only in attention to those who understand so...type on.

Two weeks ago a person I consider to be a gifted psychic gave me a reading and she told me about my death. She gave me a very detailed description. I don't believe in going to one psychic and getting a reading; rather a couple, say two or three, for a confirmation. Are there any gifted psychics reading this question who is willing to give me a free reading on the topic (my death), so that I may please have a confirmation. If you don't see anything, please don't answer this question or e-mail me.

Anyone else reading this question, please refrain from posting sarcastic comments, pretending to be psychic and so forth. If you have nothing to say that can help me, rather say nothing at all. Thank you very much.

I presume I don't have to give any details about myself, as a true psychic would probably know things about me without me having to tell. If you do on the other hand need info about me (something that may help), please ask. I would appreciate any help given on the topic.

I'm pro-choice. I have been with my boyfriend for six years (since I was16) and we don't use protection. When I get pregnant I have an abortion.I personally believe there is nothing wrong with this, as all my abortions (there have been 7 in total) have been before the first month of pregnancy(i.e when there is only a mass of cells). If I had found out I was pregnant at three months I would have a more difficult decision to make.
I am intitled to my views on abortion and other people,althought they may disagree,must accept that they are my views and there should be no need for anything nasty.
Howvever my parents have abandoned me and say they want nothing more to do with me as a result of my actions.Why can't they just accept that I am my own person now? Would they disown me because I don't like Hotpot and they do? When does this end and why can't people understand all humans are different?

I work in a college residence office at the moment (its only temporary).

As we get closer to the school year, I'm starting to notice a disturbing pattern.

You have no idea how many parents have called us asking if there's a maid service we could recommend because their child doesn't know how to wash dishes, wash clothes, clean the bathroom, etc.

Not only that but the number of parents that call us to find out their childrens room number (we can't give it to them, its against the law. The student is an adult, that means we can only give it to the student) is staggering.

Do parents no longer believe in raising their children to be able to take care of themselves when they're an adult? No child should ever graduate high school without knowing how to turn on the washing machine.

I was reading the story about the "Jena Six", a group of 6 black students in Jena, LA who attacked a white boy in the schoolyard and the media's attention to the story. I was wondering what everyone's opinions are.......

(If that link doesn't work, go to Msn.com and read the article entitled "Whitlock: The Long Road to Justice")

I think the writer of this article is 100% correct in his final opinions, but I wanted to know what other people think.

Or do you think that it is impossible, will there always be people who will naturally dominate others?

I would love to hear all opinions
