Other - Society & Culture - 17 September 2007

I want to know so I can make plans to die at that age. So I can plan everything on time. I mean everybody is asking what is the best age to have kids, get married, etc etc. death is also part of our lives. Why people don't ask why haven't you die yet? The way they ask ; why haven't you married yet? or have kids? etc etc. there is always pressure to do things the way society thinks is the right time to do it.

I am from UK but live in Ireland. I like it here because it's friendly, I found a job here, it's English speaking and I can pop back to UK anytime for 20 euros and people can visit me easily. The Guiness is better here as well...

I would understand if they were complaining in July, but in September? It's supposed to be a bit chilly. Why does everyone want a perpetual summer? I love the changing seasons... summer can be nice but I don't want summer in September.

First of all, I would prefer to receive answers from open minded people. No mocking is necessary. I am talking seriously, as I have come to believe that there is more truth in this "law of attraction" thing than I initially thought. If there are any of you who have managed to implement this unique manner of positive thinking into your lives, I would love to hear your stories and receive some tips.

Situation: You are driving along a stormy night. You pass by a bus stop were you see 3 people waiting...

1. an elderly woman who was about to die
2. an old friend who once saved your life
3. the perfect mate you've been dreaming about

Who would you choose knowing there could only be 1 passenger in your car?


Who could guess of the answer of the 1 who was hired?

If they were a couple living on a council estate and she was a cleaner and he was a builder, for example, and Maddy went missing, do you think Richard Branson would have still dished out the money to help them with the fees? Or is it a case of upper class people sticking together? We have had a discussion about this at work and I just wondered what people's opinions were.

Is my friend Tom gay? Sometimes when people are hanging out just out of nowhere someone will be like Tom is gay. One time some friends and I met up for some drinks at this bar and a buddy of mine wore a t-shirt that said Tom is gay and Tom got really pissed. Is Tom gay?

The government get a big revenue from the sale of alcohol and will never prohibit its sale.
Meanwhile the most disadvantged people in our society will keep suffering and make others suffer as well.
The government is never concerned with the wellbeing of its citizens.

I need to understand something. Besides the fact that this has been going on for nearly a year, why has it taken so long for a majority of the country to hear about it. Slowly word is seeping through communities. But yet Britney Spears spent 65% of 2007 in the headlines. what is wrong with this picture? Racsim once again shows it ugliness. Many people think racism is dead and buried. But if you haven't had a wake up call yet just goggle Jena 6, or go to NAACP website and learn more. People need to understand just because you may feel people are equal there are way so many people whos views are twisted and distorted and if you are not the same skin color as them they want harm to come to you. No matter how good of a person you may be. These boys had nothing more then a high school fight. No matter what color you are, what sex you are, you more then likely had a fight in high school. If all high schoolers who had a fight went to jail for life, there would be more people in jai

I mean I am guessing it doesn't have the same meaning there, but why do they do it? Like whenever I see Japanese tourists and they pose for pictures they always make that little sign with their fingers, and even Asians who aren't tourists and live here. Anyone know what the reason is for this? I'm just curious cause it's so popular. ^_^

Ok lets say an Indian guy comes to the US, has a long term relationship with a girl, gets her pregnant, then tries to kill her and the child. The child comes out with all sorts of disabilities because of physical abuse endured during pregnancy. The man is such an idiot, claims to love this child, but is totally self serving and abusive. Now his parents (from whom he learned pure evil- they wanted to kill the baby after she was born, and actually tried, but they live in India.)

Now I have come to know that his parents have lied to some poor girl and her family, and married this monster off to her. She's only 4'11, so no way she can defend herself against this horrible excuse for a human being. It was a totally arranged marriage, so they didn't even get a chance to know each other. I am certain this girl could and would get out of this, with her parents help (what parent would agree to such a marriage??)

So I want to ask, should I find her and tell her everything by way of warning?

If there were no guns in the country, there would be few gun murders.
Two - Some guns would be smuggled into the country, but MOST criminals would not have guns. It is much harder to kill people with knives or your hands.
Three - If you have a gun, you are more likely to be killed by a gun. The criminal has to protect himself from you. The criminal will usually catch you by surprise, and your gun will not protect you.
Four - Jesus Christ would never carry a gun. Don't tell me someone wants to argue that pointl. How can Christians pretend to follow Jesus and own guns?
Five - Jesus suggested turning the other cheek, not blasting the other person with a gun.
Six - Shooting someone with a gun is cowardly. Why do Christians want to be cowards?
Seven - The second amendment was written by a human who had some fears after the war with the British. Why should we want to live in fear today? A gun is like alcohol, false courage, because the criminal shoots first!

For instance, I always wondered why the human race have this common form of mentality where they often hesitate to accept changes or differences. For example: when blacks and irish people were slaves in the past for years, why did it takes years for the execution of Jews to stop. However, the most recent is the on going confortation between the Palestians and the Isrealies for years. Seemly, it seems that many people believe that is it alright to follow crowd; therefore, I always wondered why it has been like this since the beginning of time. However, all of these factors mentioned, does this worry you and how often?

I am 16 years old and have pondered this question for a very long time... What am I going to do with my life?

Most of the questions on here are asked by people concerned with themselves which is a good thing, people need guidance but right now I need guidance so I can do something better

So I bet you are wondering what this purpose of my life is well here you go... I am saving up a bunch of money, going to Africa and bringing food, clothing, clean water, and a safe place to live. You may think this is rediculous and completely out of reach but I don't. I am completely ambitious and I have finally realized that if I don't do this I will never be happy. I have to make others happy before I can feel good about myself. I am also planning on doing some photo journalizm on the area to bring people to more awareness about the issue.

So the actual question is where do I start and what do I do?? I can't just march off the airplane to the closest villiage and start handing stuff out.
