What's wrong with us, and particularly my race, that makes so many of us hurt innocent children. This is one of so many stories i've read and seen where innocent children are being murdered, raped and tortured.

The facts are there. Whites commit more crimes against children than any other race here in America. What is wrong here?

Aaargh it seems like I can't leave my house without getting asked for money at least 2-3 times within 3mins of leaving! 6 months ago the charity muggers (who are sooo hard to avoid as they've been trained on how to get you to talk to them) arrived, so you have to run the gaunlet of the 3 of them, then just this week 3 beggars arrived!!
One is outside the library holding fake copies of the Irish issue, another is across the street outside tutorial rooms, and the other sounds really posh and sits with his starbucks cup near where ppl queue for the bus. On the way to class today I was asked for money 3 times, and I live 3 mins walk away!
The local shop is also 3 mins walk in the other direction and I have to pass 2 beggars to get to it! I'm not a very confident person so to me it feels like I'm always being hassled for money, don't they know students r stingey?
I'd rather give to a homeless charity so I know the money is used wisely, what can I do to stop being hassled?

I've been told my pet peeves are a little unreasonable. I have OCD but my friends don't agree that my pet peeves are legitimate things to get annoyed over. Here are a few examples::

The fitted sheet of a bed coming up
Stacks not being straight
Folding the corners in a book
People tapping fingers LOUDLY and for an extended period of time
The way people say certain words
Melk=Milk
Nekkid=Naked
When people TyPe LiKe ThIs!
Things not being alphabetized.

etc. etc.

What are some of your quirky pet peeves?!

Would you consider me a conservative or liberal based on my beliefs:

-I do not believe in the Bible or Christianity, though I do believe in God (raised Catholic) and I'm very open minded (reincarnation, karma) to various beliefs both in and outside my own
-I believe people have to work for what they get and there is no "oppressed" race in America
-I am okay with gay/bisexual relationships and civil unions, but against gay marriage and unsure about gay adoption/families
-I am pro-interracial relationships (when its out of love and love only) and mixed race children/world
-I am against abortion but I'm for birth control/condoms
-I am very strongly against illegal immigration and I believe people should learn English before they come here and speak English in public
-I am against war for any reason
-I am a vegetarian and pro-environment


So would you consider me a moderate, conservative or a liberal and why?

I heard on the news this morning that the football player Sean Taylor passed away as a result of his injuries occured from a home invasion. Although he was in the NFL, this is just another sad reminder of how young black men are continuing to be killed over senseless violence. What can be done to stop this unfortunate trend?

Serious replies only!!!

I should be happy... I'm supposedly better off materially than most other middle easterners and 70% of the rest of the world... but I'm still so unhappy...

I've been a foreigner all my life - I'm a foreigner in my home country, and I'm a foreigner in America... I'm a foreigner to everybody.

What to do, what to do? Why are people everywhere just so miserable?
