I really want to get to the bottom of this, please let me know your opinion.
Somenone asked me a question about my neighbor down the street. I asked them "what neighbor"? They pointed down the street and said "the neighbor a couple of houses down"? I replied by asking "what neighbor"? They said "a couple, you know two"? They asked me "what you don't know what a couple is"? I think a couple of houses down can be 2,3,4,5 houses down.

How come whenever something happens, straight away the blame game begins.

Can’t some people take events as pure ACCIDENTS? Why does everything always need to go straight to the negative?.

Yes, some things can be caused by neglect but some things are purely just accidents and ways of life, why do we need to blame other people?

Somebody dies in a hospital-there is a shocker. We must use tax payers money on an inquiry.

There was a storm- let’s blame the industry sector for ‘increasing the climate change effect’

Children eat small balls from a toy-PARENTS KNOW CHILDREN EAT SMALL THINGS,IF THEY ARE SO STUPID THAY CAN’T MOVE THEM AWAY FROM THE CHILD,THEN WHY DOES THE COMPANY HAVE TO SUFFER?

Children eating fast food makes then fat-DON’T GIVE IT TO THEM, YOU ARE THE PARENT.

Why don’t people either 1.take it as an accident (storms, dying in a hospital etc.) or 2. take some responsibility for themselves(children eating small toys, eating fast
food etc)?

So many times I've seen women who scoff because a man opens her door or pulls out her chair. The little things that us southern women LOVE for a man to do for us other women HATE. I don't get what their trip is. Just because he isn't all over you like a fly on horse poop doesn't mean he isn't attracted to you. It means he respects you. He wants to get to know you for who you are not the body you were given. Why get mad because a man (or butch woman) treats you the way women should be treated. It's not that they feel you are unable to take care of yourself or you're less superior. It means he wants you to see how things should be. Just because you work with jerks don't mean your man should be one. It's just sad cuz the women that do this are ruining what's left of the good men. What's your thoughts on this?

It seems like a lot of people who have a kind, gentle heart are often overlooked and overshadowed by those who are "popular".

I'm 24.. Have been blessed to go to a private school for both H.S and college. My family is NOT rich, they just believed I could do more through private education. I identify with my race, but in ways I feel disconnected. I take offense when i'm told that I come off upity, even though I'm aware of the advantages I've had in life. I'm still african-american, get looked at like every other african american woman, and don't think that i look down on ANYBODY!

So where is this misjudgment coming from? Why am I being misjugded? What can I do?

Thx.

Some actually beg to differ, saying things like school shootings have more to do with stability and things done at home, also that it's about about'self control', but if the darn video games have the subliminal messages that say its alright to be violent, then what the hell?? you know?

I think video games do contribute to at least some the violence that happens alot nowadays. Kids honestly do play too many violent video games.

Do Catholics use the same Bible as Christians do?
Don't they believe basically the same things?
I'm going to be visiting a Catholic friend, so if you could fill me in on the basics, I'd appreciate it. I know a little about Catholicism, but I'm Christian.

Thank you very much! Have a great Christmas, everyone!

Ok I am skinny and I work out and take care of my body. One of the things I do is drink a SlimFast every morning. I do this because I hate breakfast but I am hypoglycemic and need the protein (FYI it has 10 grams of protein :) !!!!!) Also SlimFast will only help you loose weight if you substitute it for two meals a day.

Anyways I usually bring one to work and MIND MY OWN business and I get dirty looks and comments. I had to start putting it in a cup. What makes me mad is I shouldn’t have to put it in a cup but why wont overweight people leave me alone!! Its non stop. I swear for all they know I WAS fat and that’s how i got skinny and they should ask my advise!!!!!

Im venting but come on why do overweight people ridicule it? Surely they are sick of getting dirty looks so why do it to me?

People always say no one can be perfect, but what if what they percieve as an imperfection, is perfect to me.

Like what if a person has all these qualities, and physical features that I think are the best, even if they are bad to someone else. Wouldn't that make the person perfect?

I honestly don't think any of those people who are saying he(Vick) should be killed like those dogs or given more jail time really give 2 cents. He did a crime, then he deserves those months given to him. If they want to fight a cause, how about the dogs that are killed everyday in pounds b/c nobody wants them. Until then don't try to act all self righteous. Its fake. What are your thoughts?

One time when he was drunk at a family party he followed me upstairs, backed me up against the wall and started saying things like "I give really good backrubs, you know" (while he was rubbing my shoulders) and "your cousin doesn't really love me". He was pretty drunk though when he said all of this so that probably had a lot to do with it. He tells me he thinks I'm smart and that his mom loves me and he's super nice to me but then again he's nice to everyone. He also looks right into my eyes sometimes and smiles and holds his gaze for quite an uncomfortably long time. Is he just being friendly or what? I'm not going to steal her fiance from her or anything I'd just like to know if I'm reading too much into it or not.

Whatever Johnny Fairplay ever did, is was so embarassing what happened to him. All of us who are laughing at him should think about what it must be like in his shoes at the Really Awards in Oct.

Danny B says that a producer told him to go up on stage and say that stuff, Fairplay tried to change the focus off him because it was hurting his feelings and Bonaduce threw him off hurting him while people were laughing. Regardless if Danny was defending himself or not, he didn't seem to turn around in self defense much to make sure Fairplay wasn't back up on his feet after him, while posing like he was invincible.

Think about Fairplay, and how he was smiling one minute with his feelings under attack and falling mouth first on stage, I'm surprised how it wasn't as graphic on camera what happened to him but no matter what that's one less smile in our world. Inside he was probably crying in pain. Imagine that happening to you before you act to unsympathetic about him.

Of course I would never know for sure, but he was wearing an orange dress-shirt - not exactly a dark orange but lighter in color and another guy says to him "nice orange shirt" he's like "oh I wasn't sure what color it was" and the other guy says "well what color did you think it was?" he answers back "I don't know - Magenta?" (which is a dark pink)

Is it possible for him to actually see dark pink and not orange? I never heard of something like that before and dark pink isn't the same tone as the light orange shirt he was wearing. I figure it might be possible but all the color-blind people I know that wouldn't see magenta (which is made from red), would also not see orange (which is made from red). Unless it's yellow that he cannot see which I'm not sure of. I don't know - it seemed kind of odd to me

Why do people ask so odd from the ages of junior high through college? Why do they do dumb stuff? Like getting pregnant, dropping out, getting drunk/high, too much porn, fights, and so on.

Is it because our brains aren't fully developed yet? Because we still act on impulse? Because we are curious about new things (sometimes morbidly so)? Because we are inexperienced with being independent and in life experiences? Peep pressure? Are the parents to blame?

Why do you think young people make so many mistakes? I personally think all the above are valid. The most influential of the above are human curiosity, peer pressure and inexperienced.

My mother in law has the misfortune of having the biggest witch in the word for a DIL. She moved up north and refuses to ever come back to Alabama and even let my MIL see her grandkids. My MIL works as a manager of a convienence store and there is no way in the world she could ever have off enough time to go up there to see them. She hasn't seen them in 8 years. If I won the lottery the first thing I would do is to go buy a black Escalade with leather seats and drive my MIL up there to see her grandkids. and maybe btch slap the DIL while i'm there.

I'm 14 (almost 15) and I am dying. I am trying to plan my funeral because I really don't want my parents to have to do it after I croak. This way they get to feel they have done it exactly as I wanted (but to be honest, I couldn't really care - funerals are for the benefit of those left behind).

Hymns for the service:
- Nearer My God to thee
- Be still my soul
- I also like Turn Turn Turn but even though it is taken from the bible it is might be seen as a 'pop song'

Songs for after the service
- You'll never walk alone
- The Parting Glass

Do you think these would be OK, out of place, or too morbid?

Also, I can't decide whether to be buried or burned.

And is it too outrageous to ask for everyone, including the coffin carriers, to wear celtic football shirts instead of black suits? Black suits just make people feel even worse!
