I've always had a problem with assertiveness. At times though, it's not really a matter of being assertive, but noticing moments when I should be assertive. At my job I let people get away with talking down to me, or trying to control me when they are just co-workers. I'm already laid back, but I'd like to be able to put my foot down, kind of like the Godfather would. Not getting mad, angry, or anything like that, but still powerful. I think it would help my professional and interpersonal relationships greatly.

Do you notice that we woman change to whatever standards men find to be attractive?

Look at how many eras we went thru..compared to how much men went thru..?

And as the yrs go by, the looks of a woman for a man has become UNREACHABLE without plastic surgery. The problem is ALOT of men don't knwo its surgery..and think that woman can NORMALLY look like that..

Do other females see that or is it just me?

Some People say females are more dominant..but it seems men still hold power in that aspect because we accomodate to a mans fantasy..while they stay the way the are..

We still enjoy hating others, because we need someone to blame for our self-induced misery. We are still the same type of people that had slaves and hated black people for so long, the same type that killed innocent people as witches, the same type that, in Germany, blamed the Jews for our problems.

The only difference between then and now is that the social pressure of a few has slowly pushed us forward on our path toward enlightenment. The rest of us are mindless, hate-filled, droans.

every now and then i can guess things really good.
like sometimes i can look at someone and tell them their b-day.
and wen i talk to my friends online they will say something like " what color of shirt am i wearing" and i will tell them the color
when i was little the guessing b-day thing was stronger...i had a baby sitter and i guessed 6 of her friends b-days(4 with the month and 2 with the date & month)

and i often will have a dream, and within the next week it will happen, when it happens i have almost an out of body experience...


if anyone here know what it means,,, i am open to all answers.

just nothing mean.

aha.

This happens to me a lot, though I've never shop-lifted in my life. Maybe I just look dodgy??? I'd be interested to know if there are many people for whom it has never happened.

Incidentally it's pretty funny when it happens, it's like a game of peek-a-boo as they appear from round the aisle.

What can be done so today's child that has your childhood dreams, doesn't end up homeless?
How did you get to this point?
Does your family know that you are homeless?
Can your family help?
What's keeping you on the street?
Do you have any health issues?
Do you believe in God?
Have you turned down any help?
How do your family/friends communicate with you?
Who was your hero as a child?
Were your parents married?
What would it take for you to no longer be homeless?
If there is one, what is the best part about being homeless?
Do you have any children?
Have you ever held a "homeless" sign while you actually were living in a place that most of us would consider a home?
How far do you travel to be at this corner?
What's the worst & best things that have happened to you while homeless?

I'm so overwhelmed with the violence of the 21st century: bullying, crime, war, etc.

DOES ANYBODY BELIEVE IN PEACE ANYMORE???

I get frequent headaches just thinking about it. I also get nasueous. I also tend to cry. So far I'm convinced the world is chock-full of bad people. How can I be convinced that there are still good people in the majority. I hear it, but I don't believe it.


P.S. And I'm so angry with the president that I take it out on the wrong people: my loved ones. He caused this war and he's about as smart as a brick can get. He cheated his way to presidency! He was a b@$t*** drunk!!!!

How can I release my anger in a healthy way?

I heard it suggested from a male friend that often times he is treated differently because her is a short man. I am a tall woman and so I found this to be interesting. He said in the wokplace, going out and even with dating, he feels as though he is treated unequally.

You think he is paranoid?

I live in America and their are thousands and thousands of children that need homes here. It is absolutely sad. But people continue to go outside of the country and adopt. I know that there are issues outside, but this is our country! We should support it and help us get out of poverty before moving on somewhere else. It would also be cheaper to adopt here right?? Opinions?

I've heard some people justify hunting and fishing by claiming that they help control the animal population. For some reason, though, these same people don't seem to be concerned about human overpopulation. There are now over 6 BILLION people in the world, many of whom live in abject poverty. Our natural resources are being sucked dry enough as it is, and the current population trends certainly aren't helping matters.
