Shouldn't we be sticking together? There are some real bad guys out there and we won't defeat them by falling out with each other. I get really tired of seeing questions slagging off the US and equally tired of seeing pathetic anti UK comments of the 'if it wasn't for us you'd be speaking German' mentality. The UK stood alone and bankrupted itself in WWII before the US joined, but thank goodness they did join in in the end, if they hadn't it would have been more likely that the whole of continental Europe would have been speaking Russian not German. Both countries have a lot to be proud of, both have contributed vastly to the modern democratic western world, and both should stand together to defeat the cowardly scum that are threatening our peace and security now.

What are the differences you see between then and now in their socially defined roles and "fixed gender identities" ( identities determined by gender and social roles)

I just got back from a party, and this guy, who knows absolutely nothing about me, asks me bluntly: "Are You An Airhead?"

And I chuckle, and say: "Far from it."

And he spent the the rest of the evening quiet. I know this is an immature scenario, but even after getting home, it lingers in my mind.... why do we let stuff like this bother us? I feel like a fuc#$ing 13 year old for pondering this ...

But is our self-perception formed by the opinions of others?
If so, I absolutely refuse it.

...just a thought.

If someone were to come along with OVERWHELMING scientific evidence that contradicted your beliefs? What if someone could offer the most overwhelming HARD scientific argument ever produced, that could...

1) show how life originated on this planet
2) show that all life as we know it (the DNA world) was "created" by a biochemical process that is ongoing today
3) provide a means by which speciation (macroevolution) occurs (something that no current theory can do)
4) explain why we have two sexes (something current science cannot explain)
5) provide a mechanism for the aging process (i.e. explain why we age and die)
6) explain what happens to us (in a biological sense) when we die
7) provide a Designer, which created all (DNA) life on this planet, to which we return (biochemically) when we die
8) show (under a microscope) how this process is happening all the time, right under our noses... life being created...

Would you still be too closed-minded to alter your views?

I know that sex feels good, but have you noticed that some people can just have sex for just the physical pleasure of having sex....and others will have sex and will read loads into it. So what I'm really asking is, can you ever just have sex with no emotion attached to it, or when you sleep with someone is there always some sort of emotional attachments? I mean obviously having sex with someone (anyone) is because a person wants physical contact.
I know people can have one night stands (personally never had a one night stand).....but are they ever left wanting more than just sex?

Why do you think there is no peace in the world? What do you think we should do as people to make this place a little better? Stop crimes, hate, indiference, jealousy, all these negative feelings and replace them with love, compassion, acceptance, respect and serenity.... Let's bring peace to our hearts and consequently to the world and people around us...

I'm 16 years old.

I got a neighbor who's kid is also 16 years old with a 12 year old companion and other teenagers who hang out with him.

Me and my family have a car sitting on our lawn, and our neighbors shoot at it and destroy the windows with a bb/airgun. I couldn't prove it was them until tonight when i caught him in the act. He ran inside.

What should i do?
The police won't do anything without proof.
I have 2 air rifles, 1 airsoft pistol and 1 pellet pistol. Should i shoot at their windows?

I'm really wanting to shoot back, but i wanna know what my other options are first.

And yes i have thought about the consequences. Each one. So don't remind me of them.

How can I talk myself into letting me back in? Will I even listen to me? Should I ask myself for forgiveness, or play hard to get with myself? I love me, but lately I've been acting weirdly with myself. Do you think I'm seeing another me on the side?

It doesn't matter what you believe the fact is. I didn't ask to be here. I've grown tired of living and there is no one left that truly cares. Only people with some type of liberal outlook that dictates their reaction to say please don't do it some of us do care. All I do is wake up with less and less everyday going to a job I don't like hanging out with friends I don't like and coming back to my house alone to leave screwed up questions on here. So why not just end my life?

I have posted a couple of other questions that lead me up to this final one, and I've got to say-I'm SO surprised that many religious centered individuals regard world peace, or some common ground, to be a catastrophe that will bring upon the Anti Christ.

So....what exactly does world peace mean to you?

Why is it that some of you "Christian" ladys out there find it necessary to post Pic's or avatars that are a bit suggestive? or shoud I say provocative?

Am I sayin this right? I mean am I being PC about this? Do you really believe that men need to see "sexy air brush artist renditions" of your girls out there?

So many of us men are doing our best to not objectify you all and yet you seem to objectify yourselves.

Can I Get A Witness?????

can some of you "blessed women" out there give a brother a break? or am I asking too much?

Any thought?

PS: I can assure you I don't need any help in the fantasy department most of us guys struggle with that all the time. (consider the longerie catalogues and the adds on TV victoria secret, even weight loss comercials, the male enhancement ads [how stupid since the only male enhancement we need is The Lord Jesus Christ] mmmm did I miss any?) Hence the need for my question.

thanks B

I know this is very funny in hindsight, but my rather good looking neighbour saw me naked from my window- no, he wasn't being a voyeur; it just happened; probably my fault.

This is very awkward for me, especially since I'm a month 1/2 pregnant and my breasts are HUGE.

Has this happened to anyone? How do you keep it cool with you neighbour?
