No racist comments.
It seems that generally it is white people who get the most benifits in terms of single parents teenagers and so on, but theres are just ask many or maybe more non white people living in the uk nowadays that get benifits left right and center.

Not that it matters which race gets the most or least, but there must be a cultural reason behidn why they wont work, or why they choose to live of tax payers.

I can't be the only one who is sick of the media making it seem just fine to dwell on the most superficial things. Most people don't even realize how rude or disrespectful they can be. I feel like we could all be more caring and kind towards others. It's really not that hard. It just makes me sad that we are hurting ourselves by hurting others, but we are not even aware.

If someone was mostly honest and kind to others and has good morals would he/she ever turn into one of the worst villains ever? If you read Macbeth, it shows that a hero becomes corrupt because he is tempted. Some people I've known in the past were good before but then changed into something totally different. DO you think love issues could have cause this?

Do you think it was because they were betrayed by their friends? What makes a good person go bad? Also why is the good person who goes bad seems stronger when they are bad?

Thank you for reading.

I live in Indianapolis, IN. This week a 3 year old child was brutally abused and murdered by her mother and moms fiancee. She had been taken away from her mother twice already in her short 3 years. She had just been given back to her mother days before her murder.
A hanger was placed in her shirt and she was hung on a door and beaten with a belt until she died, only because she wet her pants.
What has got to be done to stop child abuse in the USA?
Is it the governments place to step in? The state?
Should CPS be held accountable or are they underfunded and understaffed?
Here is the story if you are interested:

There are other links posted with new developments also.

What are your opinions. Please only answer if you have given this great thought. Of course we would all like to throw them in jail for life or do more brutal activity to the offenders, but that isnt a realistic goal as of now. Please provide realistic answers.

Everyone is born with Natural rights (John Lock) and women had these taken away in the past then fought to be respected on equal terms like they should have been in the first place means that to be respected in intellect and the right to vote and own property and etc that we need to be drafted just like men?

We did fight, We faught for our rights that we were supposed too have in the first place.

Just because women ask to have an equal education and voting rights doesn't mean they are scientifically as able to fight as men. To force women to go to war because we said we want to be able to vote, hold job, and have equal educational opportunity to then say "well if you want natural rights that you are born with fight for them."

In medicine, investing, international relations, etc. it seems like everyone is constantly criticizing people who have spent their entire lives honing skills pertinent to those disciplines. "The doctor might be wrong about that diagnosis." "The Real Estate agent's advice might be wrong." Etc. Why?

That this would fit ok on a guy who wears size 30 pants? My guy lost a bet to me and now he has to wear a womans thong under his pants for a few hours at home one night this week when I have some of the ladies over for cocktails that he of course will be serving. Nobody but him and I will know (but I know its going to be hard to resist telling my firends!). I picked this one from VS. What do you think ? Any suggestions on the color to go with?

I work in a health care setting. Teamwork is required to accomplish the day's duties. On the out patient care setting in which I work. We are paired to perform treatments. This one co worker has consistently traded his assignment on days we are paired. He has told me the reason why, is because my perfume is too strong. Fine! I purposely did not wear cologne on the days I have to work in that area around him. I've noticed him staring at me from a distance. He stll trades out his assignment to have another person work with me. My immediate supervisor has even asked me to exchange rooms to grant his wishes. Another supervisor asked if I thought this coworker was predjudiced. I really do not know, he doesen't talk to me nor do I ever say anything to him. It has gotten to the point now , that I do not want to even work anywhere near him.
I really do not feel very comfortable around him.
Should I report this to our HR dept. What should I do?

They are harmless and most of them can't fight back physically. I mean, how twisted could you be to rape a helpless woman? Or a child? They are so much weaker than you, it barely involves any effort to overpower a woman or child. They are also harmless.

My theory is that people like these should be shot dead on the spot so that they do not spread their genes. Do you think this is a good idea? Well, I don't really care because I would do that anyway if I ever saw someone taking advantage of a woman or a child.

REAL men confront men of their own size or bigger. Men who don't do this are nothing but a bunch of (*whatever derogratory term you want put here*)

Finally, please note that I said SOME men. This is not a sexist question.

At the end of the day THEY have done NOTHING wrong, THEY are just following the law of THEIR land? Let's put this into perspective folks, a school teacher who didn't do HER homework ignorantly moved to a foreign country obviously expecting THEY would follow HER rights. Well, frankly that's just not good enough, especially for a 57 year old teacher who should know better. She, and remember ignorance is no defense in any court, is the culprit. Not you, not me, and not Teddy. If she did the crime I think she should do the time.

End of.

(And before all you self-righteous tossers reply just remember how liberally teachers handed out the belt at school for you not doing your homework.)

Forgive me but I find a lot of depressed people on here so I had to ask ..........20 years ago I started with 2 sets of cards they are not for telling the future, but for studying self. You work through each card in the deck which comes with a book. They are called "Medicine Cards" & "Sacred Path Cards...they really helped me to learn who I was at a most difficult time in my life..........The Creator can be found & the spirit fed in some mighty tight places.........if you will just learn to look & do so.
