Other - Society & Culture - 17 December 2007

Someone recently said to me the following line, "The law clearly states that you must do this ..." well, it wasn't too serious :) but never the less a breach of the law.

This really annoys me about life, do people assume that everyone is born with the full law inscribed in there brain. Ok in most cases common sense fills 75% of the book, attacking someone, theft etc.. is all clearly breaking the law, but there's a few that are less obvious and some that no one can possibly expected to know.

Hi!

A friend of mine who is African-American like me is having trouble accepting her small butt which is not considered beautiful in our culture.... And I wanted to re-assure her that in some cultures, smaller butts like ours are considered beautiful and feminine!! :D

I hope this question doesn't sound too weird, but in what cultures are smaller female butts considered beautiful? I just know they exist lol!

Thanks in advance!

I have a feeling..that the nonreligious christmas was created by corporations to make us buy stuff. I mean even in the christmas songs. It's like a commercial. I heard a piece of a song and it said ".....it's the most wonderful time of the year"....To my ears all the christmas songs about rudolph and presents and santa...they all seem like a commercial. Good advertising message so that we go and shop for gifts. It's like saying "go and shop for gifts and you will find yourself in this wonderful christmas world" "Don't buy and your kids will be disappointed in you"

So people do actually feel like they have to go and buy christmas Gifts to make people happy.

Seriously, I think I need an atomic bomb to protect myself from Russia, China and Earth itself.

How come they don't allow it though?

Surely a gun is just the same as an atomic bomb?

Atomics bombs don't kill people. People kill people.

Seriously, my protection is at stake without it.

And I think because I have one for protection, than all my enemies should have one for protection also. Otherwise how will they protect themselves from me?

(note my sarcasm)

So how come no one cares about my argument, when it is just as reasonable as having a machine gun?

If my reasoning is flawed, so is the reasoning of people who wish not to impose gun restrictions.

Do you think there would be more deaths if atomic bombs were readily available? Yes, some mentally insane people would surely misuse that power.

Isn't that just the same with guns? If there were gun restrictions, there would be less chances of people trying to murder others.

Australia has gun restrictions and less deaths (scaled).

I go into Lowes with a baby in my arms, carrying a large diaper bag and holding a 4 yr old's hand and it's raining outside and ask "Are there any carts?" and the girl snobbishly answers "you have to get them out of the parking lot," so I told her that it's ridiculous and of course she gives me another snobbish look.

What the hell? Isn't she at least supposed to say sorry for the inconvenience....I'm tired of looking like a biatch all the time because I feel like I am BOTHERING the employees with my questions!!

Doesn't the training process include customer service or do they skip now?

stricken, homeless kids?

Don't get me wrong, I think that those three issues are problems no matter what country you're in. I suppose I shouldn't limit it to just America, but since thats where I live, I have. I don't care about the rest of the world's problems. Not when the problems that the country I live in continue to go unsolved while America tries to save the rest of the world. Maybe America as a country should heal from within before we try to heal the world.

Ok, when i go to school, people think im really weird, and i hate it. One thing is, my voice kinda sounds like a girl, and people make fun of me for that all the time. And just today, i got in trouble for tying strings to paper, and then hanging them out the school window, and i have a feeling i did it just so that people thought that i was cool, and they liked me more. I have friends, but really not many. Please help, i really don't want to just go see a counselor, because all they will do is make it even more embarrassing by talking to the people who make fun of me, and that will just make it worse, because they know who it is that they make fun of, so yeah... I'm coming here for advice.

P.S. I've talked to my parents, but they don't really know what to do.
