Open Question: A good clinical anti-perspirant that actually works?

Im a 16 year old girl and I sweat more than anyone else I know. Even guys don't sweat as much as me. I have to wear a jacket in the summer to hide all the sweat under my arms and even in the winter I sweat through my shirt. And the worst part is no matter how hard I try or what deodorant/anti-perspirant i use I still always smell bad because of all the sweat. It's so embarrassing. First I tried Suave Clinical Protection but I barely saw any change. Now I'm using Secret Clinical Strength waterproof and It did pretty good while I was just sitting at home but when I went to school and was moving all day I sweated like a hog like I always do and by the end of 1st period I already started smelling bad. I'm desperate to find a solution. more

Open Question: Help! Virus with computer?

I noticed my computer has been a little slow but I tried to tolerate it for a while. But today, I was searching for an actor in Google because I wanted to see all of his movies, I clicked on 'Videos' in Google and when I chose a video all of a sudden my laptop went haywire. Something keeps popping up that says "Application cannot be executed. The file agent.exe is infected. Do you want to activate your antivirus software now?" so I clicked yes (assuming that would resolve the problem) but when it takes me to the page, I have to purchase the program. I've heard about false anti-virus scans and I wasn't sure if this was one of them. It continuously pops up on my computer no matter how much I click 'No', my internet is infected by it as well. I tried going to Google.com and the page pops up telling me my Internet Explorer is being harmed. It will not stop popping up so now I am pretty sure this "Security Scan" thing is a virus! when I close out IE, it pops up along with the little box about the antivirus, and the page that it pops up is a gross "Porno" site, it doesn't show any images or slackness but its obviously something trying to attack my computer. I run my Norton Security Scan and it shows me that I have Trojan viruses attacking my computer. Even when I run the scan, the viruses continue to pop up. How do I completely CLEAN UP MY ENTIRE COMPUTER! What am I to do? :(EDIT: BY THE WAY, IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO OPEN UP ANY PROGRAMS ON MY COMPUTER! NOT EVEN WORDPADWhen I am in Safe Mode I do not have internet conntection! more

Open Question: Is there a 50% of matter and 50% of antimatter?

Open Question: Do you support Sheriff Joe?

As can only be expected, the Dept. of (anti) Justice (DOJ) and it's racist head, Attorney General Eric Holder, are now threatening to sue America's Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maracopa County, AZ. They have had it out for Sheriff Joe for defying the crazy Obama "hands off" attitude of non-enforcement as the wave of Illegals floods the Southwest and is bankrupting states that border Mexico. PLEASE SEE LINK: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/08/17/AR2010081703637_pf.html Sheriff Joe has repeatedly, over the last three years, announced a policy whereby his troopers WILL ENFORCE THE LAW, no matter how much Obama and Holder want to see the misery for AZ to continue! I think this attitude, on the part of Obama and Holder, is despicable and just plain UN AMERICAN! Sheriff Joe deserves a lot better from all of us for his service to AZ AND THE REST OF THE COUNTRY! But what can we expect out of the Islamo-Socialist Ideologue we are stuck with in the W H? That'smy take! WHAT SAY YOU AMERICA? more

Open Question: Why does my cousin always find some reason to be annoyed with people?

My cousin is in his early 30s and is single. He doesn’t seem to talk much with my family or the people we’re with. However, he does tell things to his mother and his mother tells us EVERYTHING that he tells her. So let me share a little story. My cousin never invites people over his place, but we try to get together with him on special occasions. First, we invited him to my college graduation and after the commencement, we took him out to eat along with my professors (who I find very nice and down to earth). Of course, my cousin was quiet the whole time and barely talked. When we spoke to his mom a week later, she said my cousin was annoyed because the professors were asking him too many questions about the company he works at. Since my cousin is supposedly a successful CPA and my professors are Accounting teachers, I don’t see why that’s a problem. It’s only normal that they ask about the company. Second, we invited him to my graduation party. He was quiet, bored and wouldn’t talk to the people next to him even though they tried so hard to talk to him. A week later, we spoke to his mom and she told us that my cousin was annoyed because even though the food was great, the entertainment was boring and the people around him were weird. He claimed that they were talking too much about their home country and he couldn’t really contribute anything to the conversation. No matter what me and my family try to do, we can never please my cousin. He never invites us even though he only lives 10 minutes away and when WE make the effort to get together with him, he always has some excuse for not having a good time and for being anti-social. Why is this happening? Why is it impossible to please him? more

Resolved Question: Can Somebody Suggest Any Ways Of Me Dealing With This?

i have this strange & horrible behavior where i constantly have to redecorate my bedroom. its gotten so out of hand, that this is disrupting my everyday life. I gather its a form of ocd, but i have no other symptoms, just this one. I just feel like i can't accept my bedroom the way it looks. if i clutter it up, i crave for simplicity, if i simplify it, i want it cluttered again. I'm currently freaking over the fact that my bookshelves are going to fill up, and then where am i suppose to store any future books i may want to buy? i only have another 4 books to go before i won't have any more room for anymore books, and that'll mean i can't buy anymore books, just because i have no room for them. Its the same with my dvds & clothes. Another thing with my room, is that no matter what i add to it, i feel like its not ME. i think this started when i went through this freakish spring cleaning oneday, and got rid of all my childhood/teenage memories, because i was 21, and wanted to update my room & make it 'mature'.. but i am NOT mature. i still feel like i'm 16 (people think i still am, because i look really young). And i still like childlike things, so i figured i'd compromise & turn my bedroom teenage-ISH! i constantly want to change the color of my walls, pieces of furniture & decor. But its NEVER acceptable in my eyes. Its like i'm trying to achieve the impossible. i literally ENVY those who can just buy anything & everything & just scatter it anywhere, and not even remotely care. I just saw some home movies i took of my room when i was around 13, and it was so messy/cluttered, everything was everywhere, photos & posters were strewn up on walls & doors, and nothing was straight or parallel. I just wish i could go back to normal. i wish that whenever i see something in a store that i really wanted, i'd have the freedom in buying it, but i figure i can't have because it won't match the decor of my room. i wish i could go back to a time when i knew nothing about bedroom colors, and color themes (i can't use mixmatch colorings). And i wish i could feel at ease to be surrounded by 'random' objects, rather than 'appropriate' objects. PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME! GIVE ME TIPS/ADVICE IN HOW I SHOULD HAVE MY BEDROOM SO THAT I'LL BE HAPPY & SATISFIED AGAIN. PS. please don't suggest me taking meds (they only prescribe me anti depresents & they screw up my brain & stuff). i also can't go to therapy, because i have NO money.i come from a really small town, and the only therapy here costs $200 an hour. that much would be an extravangance for me unfortunately. i just need to know WHY i'm like, and how to fix it WITHOUT meds & therapy.like this* more

Open Question: How can you Help free an Outstanding young American journalist imprisoned for Reporting on Human rights abuses?

The excellent young American journalist Jake Hess – who is a good friend of mine – has just been imprisoned in Turkey in extremely worrying circumstances. Hess has been factually reporting from Southern Turkey for over a year now on way the Kurdish civilian population is being treated. Here’s a sample of his excellent reporting: “Compared to most internally displaced Kurds in northern Iraq, Shamal Qadir is almost lucky. Since the Turkish army devastated his village, Kuzine, in a bombing raid Jul. 1, he’s been living in a schoolhouse, where room temperatures are comfortable and basic amenities are accessible. “Our family bought land and started building houses in Kuzine in 1996. We did it for our children, so they’d have a place to live in the future,” Qadir tells IPS. “Now, our dreams have been destroyed.” Qadir is one of roughly 6,500 people who have been driven from their homes by Turkish and Iranian bombings of Kurdish border villages in northern Iraq since May 24.” For rigorously and compassionately reporting on a horrifying situation, Hess has been jailed. AOL has the full story here : http://www.aolnews.com/world/article/us-journalist-jake-hess-detained-in-turkey/19592727 The Committee to Protect Journalists and Journalists Without Borders have both issued statements calling for his immediate release. He is a legitimate journalist of extremely high integrity. The idea that he would have any alliance with, or sympathy for, a terror group is utterly absurd. Yet he is currently being held at the Diyarbakir (the main Kurdish city of Turkey) Anti-Terrorism Branch. Please take just a minute to call the Turkish Embassy in Washington DC on +1 202 612 67 00 +or email them at contact@turkishembassy.org and politely explain that you expect this outstanding US citizen to be treated with decency, and released at once. A country that calls itself a democracy should not be imprisoning journalists for telling the truth. Follow Johann Hari on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/johannhari101 Details : http://www.boston.com/news/local/new_hampshire/articles/2010/08/15/nh_journalist_jailed_in_turkey_over_alleged_terrorist_link/ From CNN : "But who is this 25 year old New Hampshirite and why does it matter? Jake Hess was arrested on Wednesday, nearly a week ago, on terrorism charges in Turkey. From Hess’ writings one can see that he is passionate about human rights and critical of the Turkish government, but a terrorist? Not hardly. Still, Hess was interrogated for days by the Turkish police because his name showed up on a list of pro-Kurdish activists linked with the KCK, an umbrella group which includes a number of banned groups including the PKK. According to Hess, the interrogations focused exclusively on his articles, including the one that appeared on Antiwar.com, and he was told he is “harming Turkey’s image” with his writing. When the US offered to intervene on his behalf Hess really did a gutsy thing though, he told them to leave him alone. In a quote he told the diplomats “It would be hypocritical to support an American journalist who is persecuted for human rights journalism while at the same time supporting the Turkish policy of criminalizing Kurdish political activists.” Prosecutors are seeking to have him deported from the country now, and his lawyer says he will likely be expelled in a week to 10 days. In the meantime he remains in custody in Turkey simply for writing analysis pieces that were a little too critical for the Turkish government’s taste. http://www.antiwar.com/blog/2010/08/17/our-man-in-turkey-the-jake-hess-story/ http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/08/16/AR2010081602575.html more

Open Question: Why do Conservatives identify Anarchism as right-wing when it's obviously the opposite?

If one looks up Anarchism on the web, it's ideology sounds anything but right-wing: Anarchism will be created by the class struggle between the vast majority of society (the working class) and the tiny minority that currently rule. A successful revolution will require that anarchist ideas become the leading ideas within the working class. This will not happen spontaneously. Our role is to make anarchist ideas the leading ideas or as it is sometimes expressed to become a 'leadership of ideas'. We work within the trade unions as the major focus of our activity where this is a possibility. We therefore reject views that dismiss activity in the unions. Within them we fight for the democratic structures typical of anarcho - syndicalist unions like the 1930's CNT. However the unions no matter how revolutionary cannot replace the need for anarchist political organisation(s). We also see it as vital to work in struggles that happen outside the unions/workplace. These include struggles against particular oppressions, imperialism and indeed the struggles of the working class for a decent place and environment in which to live. Our general approach to these, like our approach to the unions is to involve ourselves wherever the greatest number are found and within this movement to promote anarchist methods of organisation involving direct democracy. We actively oppose all manifestation of prejudice within the workers movement and identify working alongside those struggling against racism, sexism, [religious] sectarianism and homophobia as a priority. We see the success of a revolution and the success of the elimination of these oppressions after the revolution being determined by the building of such struggles in the pre- revolutionary period. We oppose imperialism but put forward anarchism as an alternative goal to nationalism. We defend grass root anti-imperialist movements while arguing for an anarchist rather then nationalist strategy. http://struggle.ws/anarchism/platform.html more

Open Question: My first day of school is tomorrow, and I need to know how to....?

Keep my hair straight. I straighten it until there isn't a single wavy piece in there. Sometimes, I put mouse or gel in before. I use anti-frizz stuff, and I spray it a little with hairspray. It always tends to curl a little though, no matter what I've done. My haircut isn't meant for curly or wavy hair. What can I do to make it stay straight all day? more

Open Question: Progressives, if you are so enlightened why?

Progressives on here, if you are so enlightened why do you lump every one together, use stereo types, and generally perpetuate hate? For example: All conservatives are either rich white people or trailer trash. All republicans or anyone that doesn't like obama's agenda are racist. Anyone that opposes the mosque is anti first amendment when it is really just a matter of what is in good taste. All christians are self rightous. ETC. If you are all so intelligent and enlightened why do you lump everyone together, much like racists(whom you despise) do with minorities?LMAO at all of the progressives that can only point out that yes I did lump you all together. However I never claimed to be enlightened and superior, as you do. more

Resolved Question: Your opinion El Salvador rejects Florida’s anti-immigrant law?

San Salvador – El Salvador’s foreign minister. Hugo Martinez, today rejected the initiative for an anti-immigrant law in the US state of Florida because of the principle that US federal authority in migratory matters prevails over that of the states. “We are concerned about this tentative anti-immigrant (law) in Florida and deeply regret that they want to include it in election schemes seeking a gubernatorial candidate in the state,” Martinez commented to reporters. The initiative is considered much more aggressive than Arizona’s. http://www.elfinanciero.com.mx/ElFinanciero/Portal/cfpages/contentmgr.cfm?docId=279601&docTipo=1&orderby=docid&sortby=ASC Cambio de Michoacán (Morelia, Michoacán) 8/13/10 Error in US migration strategy Morelia – The signature with which President Barack Obama approved sending more agents and equipment to reinforce the border with Mexico at a cost of 600 million dollars is a sign that there persists an error in the strategy to address the phenomenon of migration and that there is no interest in reaching a compromise for respecting the human rights of our countrymen. This is the view of Clara Ochoa Valdez, head of the Michoacán State Public Council (Coespo). She maintains that President Obama’s immigration policy has not substantially changed from that of his predecessor, in that he is simply using an “evident complex panorama” for the political purpose of winning votes from his reactionary constituents. Ochoa also emphasizes that the Mexican authorities haven’t the capability to treat migration as a phenomenon that goes beyond the undocumented who cross the border in search of a better level of life and who is seen in violation by exercising their right to do so. The abuses of which they are victim cannot be stopped simply through diplomatic channels. She points out that such migration has been going on since before Mexico’s independence and has woven an endless and solid network of families so that now migrants do not only cross the border for money or work, but also in search of their relatives. She feels the present US policy will only cause more unnecessary deaths and contribute to generating xenophobia against her countrymen. She calls for a reestablishment of a clear policy to deal with the problem and considers that Obama is betraying his own ideas. http://www.cambiodemichoacan.com.mx/vernota.php?id=131582 more

Open Question: How is my non-fiction story?

The ending is a bit weak, I need heavy critiques and advice. I’ve always been the girl with the story to tell. For every discussion I have a fact, an opinion, a word, or a truth to pull out of my pocket and place on my lips. Through my voice I am obstinate, powerful, and honest. I am not the timid child, hiding in the corner buried in a pile of books to avoid eye contact that my natural instincts made me. You see, I am not who everyone thinks I am. I am not as bold, not as fearless, not as indomitable as my friends believe. I am an introvert screaming at the top of her lungs, that she is otherwise. I refuse to be reduced to an emotion such as fear, shaking and voiceless. But my new characteristic obstinacy comes from a memory that I’ve regretted everyday, one of those small events that most wouldn’t even remember. It is that regret that has helped shape my voice. I was twelve years old when I heard there was going to be a lecture on the Islamic culture held at our local church, and I begged my mother to go. I saw it as an opportunity to learn some truth, which had been evasive or mixed with anti Muslim rhetoric. Little did I know that this was no lecture. It was going to be spewing hatred, a manipulation of facts skewered upon broken truths by a charismatic man, who given his studies and his intellect had no reason for spreading a hatred that at that time in my life, I had deemed old worldly. Such talk was a thing of books, or back porches in some far away land on the opposite side of Texas. Not Galveston, which to me at the time was a metropolitan city. How foolish I was. At first the speaker seemed charming, educated, intelligent, and charismatic. To my surprise he informed us he was Jewish. (I had expected a Muslim.) but that did not seem to matter. He had this gentle easy manner when he talked, holding an already captivated room hypnotized, I could not help but have confidence in him. However, soon his words began to contrast sharply with the image of the man before me. I could not imagine how they fell from the lips of this sweet little old man, with his rounding beer belly, kind eyes, and receding hairline. Facts itched in my pocket, begging to be taken out, imploring my lips to speak. I could almost hear their individual voices “Only 15% of the Muslim world is Arabic,” one would say, it’s words echoing in my mind, as if the rational of a statistic with a forgotten source would fix everything. I wanted to scream as he cited various terror attacks as proof that Muslims were of the devil. It went on for hours. And I remained bitterly silent, turning my anger inward. The facts that swarmed in my mind turned to vague whispers, realizing that the instinctual introvert in my body was not to be moved. She was captivated by a fear that made me ignore the truths screaming in my body, wishing to be let out. Thus leaving me hauntingly silent, knowing that in some ways I was worse than the adults who surrounded me lost in the haze of their passion. When the meeting dispersed, and the adults wandered through the fog of all that was said and felt trying to find their way back home, their minds swarming excitedly with new passions, new thoughts and permission to hold such ideas, I walked back to our car quickly with tears streaming down my cheeks. It was there I vowed never to be silent again, to defend anyone or people regardless of their presence or not, and to most importantly defend my own beliefs. It is a hollow bitter feeling to know that you have failed once in this respect, but I have never failed again. Now the truths swarming in my pocket are collected at the tip of my tongue, simply waiting for the day they will be in use once more. Because of this man, I try to never let hate spill from my lips into the world. I strive to keep an open mind, for fear of my logic becoming backwards, and I hope that I never allow my pocket of facts to be used to attack a person or a group of people. From his bias I have learned that an argument should be phrased constructively, and that the point of a lecture shouldn’t be to rile the emotions of an audience blindly, but to encourage thoughts, even if they differ widely from each other. more

Open Question: how the hell am I fat?

I weigh 250 lbs and I can honestly say that I eat less than any of my thin friends. Infact I get so sick of being fat that I only eat around 1-2 small meals a day and don't snack at all. I don't drink sodas or eat sweets. I watch carbs too. I also power walk 3 miles a day and I still can't lose a lb. I gained the weight whenever I went on anti-depressants and my doctor won't let me stop them. I don't eat much at all so why am I such a freakin fata**????? My friends eat all the damn time and its always junk food and they eat a lot of it and none of them are fat. This is really starting to get to me because no matter what I do I see no progress. What else can I do to help me lose this weight? more

Open Question: Only 21 and NO sex drive?

My fiance and I have been together for a little over three years. Most of the time we were dating, we were long distance. He recently moved to my town and we now live together and have been for about a month. Probably since March of this year, I have hardly had any sex drive. At that time, we were still long distance and I think the problem then was that it was hard for me to go without seeing him for so long then be physical with him right away. I felt like I needed to "start over" to feel okay with having sex with him. Also, I was used to suppressing any sexual feelings since I could only take care of it myself when we were apart... Now that we are living together and engaged, it is more of a problem. I still do not feel like I want sex. I have explained to him that it isn't that I think he's unattractive, because he is very handsome, but I just don't want it as much as he does! He's ready to go all the time. I'm okay with not doing it. I don't feel like I need it. I am rarely in the mood. But it's hurting his feelings and I want to fix this. I'm only 21! Why am I having problems with this NOW? Isn't this a problem older women have? Or a problem people who have been married 30 years have? I am on birth control. I also have depression and anxiety, but I do not take meds for these things as I can't afford them. I had to choose between birth control or anti-depressants from a financial standpoint and I'd rather not have kids. But I guess it doesn't matter anyway because we hardly ever do it. Help! How do I fix this?The reason I don't think it is my birth control is because I wasn't on it until this month. I had taken a few month break but even then I still wasn't feeling like I wanted sex. more

Open Question: I f*ckin hate my mom?

My mom has always been over protective of me, and I hate it with a passion, but this takes the cake. Anyways, I'll tell you all the sh*t she gives me first. I have a curfew at 7:30, and at this time, there's still a lot of sunlight out, so i fail to find a reason for this. She tells me I could be raped or beaten up, but I'm a 16 year old male, and my neighborhood is really safe in a town in Canada. Back on topic, I recently made new friends in my neighborhood, and I invite them over to play Wii (chillz system lol), but my mom told me that there were to much people coming into the house so she limited it to 4 people at once only, which was reasonable. Then, she tells me that they can only stay until 8:30, and the reason is because it's to dangerous, but i fail to see how friends after 8:30 is dangerous? I was furious with her but I didn't say anything, so whatever. Just today, my mom and dad wern't home so I invited my friends, and only 4 of them, and when my mom got home she got mad and said to not invite friends over if they're not home, because its too dangerous, and if something bad happens, who will help? These rules are getting a little too over exaggerated.. But ok, no friends over when they're not home. Then after, she asks me why I have friends over all the time, and I explain to her that due to my 7:30 curfew, if I can't talk to my friends after 7:30, I bring the friends to me, and she said "ONE THING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OTHER". I think she's stupid because it doesn't take a scientist to figure out the correlation between the two. My friends asked me to go to their house, after my curfew, but I would think she'd reason with me since his house is only 20 meters away from mine, but she said that it was past my curfew.. She is very shy, and prefers not to talk to strangers, and has no friends in our neighborhood, or in Canada for that matter. The only people she talk too is family, so I guess this can be the reason for why her rules are so strict, because in her point of view, it's probably, 'WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING, ISN'T 7:30 ENOUGH, WHO WANTS TO HANG OUT WITH PEOPLE ANYWAYS". Any way to convince someone who's anti-social that all these rules are ridiculous? This is like trying to change a vegetarians opinion on meat.I'm 16, I will not leave home, my relatives don't speak English, and we never talk to each other, she only lets me out after 7:30 if someone can give me a ride home but that's BS, I WILL NOT ASK MY FRIENDS WHO RESIDE 20 METERS TO GIVE ME A RIDE HOME. more

Open Question: what do i do if my boyfriend goes out with friends but already has plans w/me beforehand?

for a few days now before all of this, he has been giving his attention more to other things than me & i know i shouldn't be THIS unhappy about this but i am & i can't help the way that i am. i live w/how he gives me lil attention & i don't want him to leave me if he knows i want more attention. i wanna know that i catch his attention more than anything else. (ok back on track here lol) we're in a long distance relationship for 1 1/2 months now. our states are next to each other so we see each other every now & then when $$ is good. lately, his nose has been buried in reading books, playing video games & barely says much to me on the phone (I HAFTA BE the one who holds up the convo cause he is sick & tired of being the only one talking - i'm very shy & anti-social so i hafta work on my socializing skills). anyway, the fact of the matter is this wkd he had work on saturday & worked late so we didn't talk much that day. today he worked 5pm-8pm & before he went to work today, i told him i wanted to talk until we go to bed cause i miss him & he said yes we will. almost an hour ago, he calls me up after work saying that i'm gonna get mad & i'm like oh shit what now. he told me he is going out w/his friend & his older brother. i felt like i was less of importance to him & that he would want me unhappy & thinking i'd be ok w/it. the point that he went out w/his friend & bro & knew in my tone of voice that i was upset (i let him know i was upset & unhappy about this situation) so it was obvious he knew i was let down.. i don't know how to handle the situation when he gets back. i've been crying, feeling like upset & don't know how to go about this & he told me the other day because i was wanting more attention from him, he said something like he won't give me 100% of his attention but some of it or something like that. i have a bad memory lol. i just want advice on how to handle this. i'm 23 yrs old & i should know but i'm too upset to come up w/a solution. i don't got much friends around here so i came to yahoo answers & hoping i can get some answers.. hope everyone is doing great, ty in advance for helping.i will be seeing him this wkd & staying w/him for a wk. should i get him to make it up to me in person? lol. if yes, then what? more

Resolved Question: To much rules, I hate my mom?

My mom has always been over protective of me, and I hate it with a passion, but this takes the cake. Anyways, I'll tell you all the sh*t she gives me. I have a curfew of 7:30, and at this time, there's still a lot of sunlight out, so i fail to find a reason for this. She tells me I could be raped or beaten up, but I'm a 16 year old male, and my neighborhood is really safe in a town in Canada. to the point, I recently made new friends in my neighborhood, and I invite them over to play Wii (chillz system lol), but my mom told me that there were to much people coming into the house so she limited it to 4 people at once only, which was reasonable. Then, she tells me that they can only stay until 8:30, and the reason is because it's to dangerous, but i fail to see how friends after 8:30 is dangerous? I was furious with her but I didn't say anything, whatever. Just today, my mom and dad wern't home so I invited my friends, and only 4 of them, and when my mom got home she got mad and said to not invite friends over if they're not home, because its too dangerous, and if something bad happens, who will help? Isn't this getting a little too over exaggerated? She asks me why I have friends over all the time, and I explain to her that due to my 7:30 curfew, if I can't talk to my friends, I bring the friends to me, and she said "ONE THING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OTHER". Hmm, I can clearly see the correlation between the two... My friends then invited me over to their house, right now, but it's 7:30, but I would think she'd reason with me since his house is only 20 meters away from mine, but she said that it was past my curfew.. She is very shy, and anti-social, and has no friends in our neighborhood, or in Canada for that matter. The only people she talk too is family, so I guess this can be the reason for why her rules are so strict, because in her point of view, it's probably, 'WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING, ISN'T 7:30 ENOUGH, WHO WANTS TO HANG OUT WITH PEOPLE ANYWAYS". Any way to convince someone who's anti-social that all these rules are ridiculous? This is like trying to change a vegetarians opinion on meat.And I am not trying to make my mom seem like a freak, I love her, and maybe using the word Anti-social is a little to much, but she is very shy, and prefers not to socialize with people, other then family. I just want to be a normal teenager.Thanks Toggle for that emotional response on how mothers are sentimental, but that's not what I was looking for, and Hamza, you fail to put yourself in my position. I am a teenager looking to socialize with people. SHE is the wall that seperates me from my friends. SHE is what gives me no choice that the only way i pass the time is through games. This is not what i expected or want my summer to be, and I'm very sad that it has to be like this. social-less and bored.MandiRee, this might sound stupid and typical for a teen to say but, she does make rules for no reason. She's at home at 7:30, and the whole day unless she is getting the groceries. Believe me, there are no reasons AT ALL. no SCHEDULE no nothing.MARC- aha you think I havn't done it before Marc?I went all out once, thinking screw this, and she ended up screaming so loud, my friends from outside heard it, and she wold just ground me more, i loved the fact that I got her mad and angry, because I just hate her personality. It didn't help though, she just punished me even more. more

Open Question: I don't know what to do anymore. Nothing is ever good enough. Please help?

Hi. I'm Kayla. I'm 14, female. I started high school last week as a 9th grader. I have a little brother who has multiple developmental issues including Downs Syndrome. He is 10. His name is Danny. I have a sister who I am pretty close with. She uses hard drugs a lot. Lately it's been mostly cocaine. She is 15. Her name is jenna. I have another sister who I'm not very close with. She is very smart and very pretty but very materialistic and semi-anti social. She is in college and 19. Her name is Brittney. Jenna has a big group (about 7) of really really close friends who she has known for basically all her life. They're like the party kids at my shcool and they are pretty damn popular. When I was little I use to always want to play with them and stuff just like every other little sister. Sometimes they would let me and sometimes not. As I got older I kinda realized I had to find my own friends but no one seemed as easy to talk to and as fun to be with as my sister and her friends. No one else seemed to like me for me either. So, I changed myself a lot. I acted like all the other girls in my grade and I made friends. I became really popular but it was more like they worshiped me at school but when I was home no one really called or wanted to hang out, you know? So I still felt pretty alone. Then I started middle school and I started getting into drugs and partying. I made some friends and I was well- known at my school. I hung out with people but no one really knew me. They just knew my reputation. I went back to being with my sister and her friends more. Over the summer I decided I need to try to create my own person and stop going with my reputation so I stopped hanging out with my 'friends'. I became closer with my sister and her friends too. They were really getting into some hard drugs this summer and it kinda was starting to bother me. I used too but not everything they did and not as much. Then school started... It was a shock at how awful life can be when you have no friends. No one to sit by at lunch. No one to talk to during class. No one at all. Some people will say hello and stuff but none of them seem to act my age. They all act so much younger and so annoying and judgmental and awkward. I honestly can not enjoy socializing with them. Some people even say things like "wow you smell like weed" when I haven't even smoked or anything. They all just don't get me. Nothing I do can make them get me either. It's like no matter what it's never good enough for me. None of my new 'friends' could ever really be my friends the way Jenna's friends are to her. I feel like I'm not even my own person. I don't know what to do. Stuff with Danny is really hard because he is starting to get to the age where what he does isn't cute anymore. He has a lot of issues that embarrass me and make me feel like everything is so wrong. For example, at night we have to lock his door and put a bucket in there so he came go to the bathroom. If we didn't he would run away in the middle of the night. If he has to poop at night he always smears it everywhere and stuff and it just isn't how things are suppose to be. I hate it. I really just don't know what to do anymore. I feel so damn alone and wrong and it feels like nothing is ever going to get better. I know I don't have it that bad or anything but I just can't take the way I feel. I really don't want to be me anymore. Don't tell me I need therapy because I had therapy for a year and it doesn't help me at all. I can't admit stuff to people. I don't even know what I have to admit. God, I'm sorry I don't make any sense... If you understood anything I said above it would mean a lot to me if you could give some advice or something? Thank you so much. I hope you find all that you are looking for in our world. Hakuna Matata. more

Resolved Question: Would you object to construction of a Christian church near Centennial Park in Atlanta? Why not?

....if you also object to the construction of a mosque near Ground Zero? Muslim extremists committed a terrorist act. They believed their terrorist act was justified by their relgion. Committed anti-abortionist, anti-gay Christian activist Eric Rudolph committed a terrorist act by bombing the 1996 Olympics in the middle of a party. He believed his terrorist act was justified by his religion. Suppose someone decided to build a Christian church within two blocks of the Centennial Park bombing site.

Open Question: Allods FPS lag every 5 minutes or more.?

Simple. Allods laggs. It takes long time for the lag to dissapear, but the smooth gameplay only lasts for 5 minutes. Ping is ok, its green, but performance is red always. At start, I play it smooth, even though the FPS light is still red and ping is green. Then after a short time I start lagging. The lag makes it unplayable. I looked at the tast manager when the game doesnt lagg, it takes about 40 percent of my CPU ( I have 3 GB) then when it lags, it jumps from 50 to 80 or more. There are NO other programs that take my CPU away. It just happens randomly without any reason. It just starts taking all my Ram. Its NOT dependant on how big is the place or how many players are there either. Things I tried : Game booster, Set high priority , lowering graffics to minimum , defrag , checked if it was blocked my anti virus - not blocked , checked for viruses - no viruses , I have 280 GB of space left if that matters too... My video card is Nvidia geforce 9500 GT .... Ram is 3 gb.... the cpu speed is good enough ... umm, I can run crysis no lag with low graffics? On high it lags a bit.... Anyone knows how to make the lag go away? Just incase, the lag never happens in other games. Exept A.V.A but after some days it never appeared again. Its not a problem with my Internet either. I tried it on low, it runs smooth but then lags again as I said. Tried on maximum, smooth but then lag again. Thank you. more

Open Question: Can you get prosecuted for weed videos on youtube?

I've seen plenty of them, but what I never understood was "can you get prosecuted/arrested for videos of you smoking weed on youtube", like if it shows your face. Or could you get by with false location claims or something? Please no pointless "anti-weed" comments. That has nothing to do with what im asking and you people need to realize that your opinion doesn't matter when your just trying to bug someone for something that's none of your business; thank you. more

Resolved Question: Why do you think America is hated?

Well, personally i was born here so i don't hate America at ALL but here are some reasons why "Most" people would hate America. 1.America wants to rule over the world,( because we are always finding a country to invade without thinking of the consequences for our actions) 2.interfering other countries internal matters, 3.using UNO for dominating ones power, 4.indirect support to anti national activist of other countries prior to 9/11 5.destroying USSR, Iraq, Vietnam,Afghanistan etc. The USA has also supported numerous regimes which have carried out extreme violations against human rights including: General Suharto's regime in Indonesian, the invasion of East Timor, Saddam Hussian while he commited murder on the Kurdish people as well as Turkeys attacks on the Kurdish people, Israels illegal occupation , as stated by the UN, of the west bank and gaza which led to the 9-11 attacks. In 1985 a bomb was planted outside a mosque in Beirut which killed 88 people and was later traced back to the CIA and America gives or gave arms to these nations of tyranny. The CIA also supported fascism throughout south america because America made money from it while hundreds of thousands died - some bodies have never been found. America also put Nelson Mandela on the terrorist list, because he fought against racism, and didn't take him off til about 4 years ago. Europe never needed a civils rights period to have racial equality but America did and white people still moan about it in some quarters. I sometimes wonder why we elect these people into office, people who promise us something then go back on their words. more

Open Question: My mom is so stressed out.. what can she do?

My mom takes care of EVERYONE'S problem. She takes care of her parents, and it costs her a lot. And her sister's problems, because her sisters dont have jobs. And I hate it because they're all depending on her because she's the successful one. She's a doctor, and she also worries about her patients. Other than that, my little brother is such a brat towards my mom! No matter what you tell him, he''ll always answer her back, and he's just very rude. My mom is 50 already, and she does NOTHING for herself. No makeup, no anti-aging products.. NOTHING. Her hair is a mess, her skin is a mess.. and she's always tired. What can she do?

Open Question: I feel bad because i'm sad all the time?

I'm pretty sure i have depression (although i haven't been diagnosed, so it's not 100% certain), because i can't stop it you know?

Open Question: I think I have ADHD, Severe Anxiety and Depression?

I think I have ADHD, severe anxiety and depression. I have PTSD, but am not currently medicated. My mind feels like a pinball machine; I can feel the thoughts, the nerves, running through my body and exploding into anxiety. I keep myself captive, disallowing myself to effectively communicate with others in person. I don't like to leave my house, and I especially hate having to go anywhere alone. It strikes me with fear. I no longer know how to have a decent time with people. I'm too afraid of looking wrong, saying the wrong thing, sounding wrong, until when I talk I can feel every motion my mouth and tongue and eyes and face makes, until I turn red or want to cry. I get jittery and bounce my leg, or feet, or play with my hands because it stimulates me, it helps my anxiety. I had so many aspirations and wants and likes and now they don't seem to matter, the joy has been lost out of them, because when I try to excel at them and realize I can't, it becomes frustrating. Like you can see a beautiful picture, or hear a beautiful song inside your head but you can't get it out onto paper, or you can't write the notes – its stuck, charging itself through your body until you get so panicked and angry and depressed that you feel worthless and want to scream. I'm tired of feeling worthless, unable to change the thoughts I think or the words I say. I'm impulsive when I think of things, or doing things, to the point of getting so excited that it is an anti-climax and turns out to not be how I originally expected it. I get angry that I can't find a way to release my feelings, and I get angry that people tell me to seek therapy and speak to someone but the thought of doing so makes me even more full of anxiety. I know how I feel, I know there are reasons behind why I feel as such. I just want to feel better, a cure, a release. Does anyone else feel this way? How long did you wait to say something? Were you prescribed something? How did the prescription make you feel?I have hardly begun to go into my 'problems' I am simply looking to see if others have common symptoms and have been diagnosed with the aforementioned. more

Money degrades all the gods of man – and turns them into commodities…. The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange….

Voting Question: LGBT only: What would you do in my situation?

I am 24 years old. My father left the family home in a pursuit of work, leaving my Mother (a disabled person) alone. When I left University, I returned home (initially because of a financial situation) and later because I was effectively caring for her. The onus of looking after my Mother has fallen on me (which I don't mind), if only my Parents would stop treating me as if i'm 13. In any event, my Father frequently returns home and causes mayhem. He argues with me and is the most racist, chauvenistic person I have ever known and he is a homophobe. They both only recently discovered that I was gay (so, I was mindful it would take a bit of time to adapt to) but my Father erased what I told him from his mind and my Mother (although initially supportive) is very anti-homosexuality (despite saying she is not). To give you an idea of what I mean she will watch soap opera's and walk out the minute two gay people are embracing (or even if their not). So my Father returned home this week and immediately adopted the moral high ground. I do not raise the issue of homosexuality in any way as I feel it is a private thing to me, but my Father cannot keep his opinions to himself and my Mother agrees with everything he says (no matter how ludicrous). So after a few bottles of wine (and typically as we're watching a soap opera) a gay couple come on the television and they weren't even touching one another (just talking) and Dad starts talking about how he was talking to a group of people at the gym about how "abhorrent" gay people were and how it had nothing to do with hormones and was a life choice. I tried to bite my tounge but he went on and on and my Mother just sat there and actually agreed knowing I was sat in the room. I walked out of the room and Dad asked me what was wrong and I said "abhorrent? Are you suggesting that I am abhorrent?".. Dad immediately turned around and said "sorry. I forgot!". To which I replied "how can you just forget about something that took me years to tell you?". Now I can take the "I don't like seeing it on telly" kind of thing but what I can't take is knowing that every time I bring a boyfriend home or God forbid I ever enter a Civil partnership, that my Parents will be sitting there thinking "this is abhorrent! It's sick". My sister is just as bad. She takes the moral high ground when she visits and treats me like an amoeba. I on the other hand have a tendency to bottle things up as my feelings are my own affair, but in so doing, she sides with my Parents, gets cross with me and generally treats me like I am nothing but a silly child, who's having a tantrum. What she doesn't know is why my Father and I don't get along. She's so judgemental and harsh towards me, but seems intent on making my life a misery knowing that I can't get away because I live with them. Incidentally, she couldn't wait to get away either. Now.. I have two options which are obvious move out and just forget about the lot of them because they won't respect me as a person no matter what I do or stay and just forget about what he said and live my life knowing he thinks i'm "abhorrent" and my Mum agrees. What my Father doesn't realize is one day my Sister and I WILL stop speaking. We have gone more than half way down that route and there is animosity. He is breaking our family together (whilst blaming me!) and the biggest problem I ever had in my life will be the cause of an irrepairable Family rift (and it wasn't even my choice). I sometimes wonder whether it would be better all around if I just cut myself out of the equation and let them live their life pretending I never existed. That's not me indulging in self pity but I firmly believe that my Father would have preferred that he either had a straight son or no son. What would you do in my situation?This was asked twice, because it didn't show for like an hour. Sorry! more

Resolved Question: Why does Obama makes clear support for ground zero mosque From Yahoo home page?

WASHINGTON – After skirting the controversy for weeks, President Barack Obama is weighing in forcefully on the mosque near ground zero, saying a nation built on religious freedom must allow it. "As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country," Obama told an intently listening crowd gathered at the White House Friday evening to observe the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. "That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances," he said. "This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable." The White House had not previously taken a stand on the mosque, which would be part of a $100 million Islamic community center two blocks from where nearly 3,000 people perished when hijacked jetliners slammed into the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11, 2001. Press secretary Robert Gibbs had insisted it was a local matter. It was already much more than that, sparking debate around the country as top Republicans including Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich announced their opposition. So did the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish civil rights group. more

Resolved Question: Do you agree with the Mosque near Ground Zero?

Let me tell you what I think... I am not Muslim. The 9/11 attacks were conducted by people who had morphed Islam. While they are still referred to as "Islamic" or "Muslims"...they were not. They were lying to themselves. Because they were masking their actions in the name of their religion, it has caused this great stereotype that Islam is evil. However, the Muslims must realise that no matter how hard they argue, they won't convince the millions of people who believe they were Muslims, that they were not. You have to accept that. I believe that people should be entitled to practise their religion freely. I do however disagree with the Mosque near Ground Zero...not because I'm anti-Muslim...but because I think it will cause more problems than it will solve. Why don't the Muslim community realise how much hassle they are going to get? New York is a humongous place...yet for some reason they opted for a site in Lower Manhattan, very close to Ground Zero... Where was the thinking? Ok, the Mosque will provide for many Muslims, but don't they recognise how it will anger and hurt so many Americans? Won't it be better for everyone to build it elsewhere? Still in New York, but away from Ground Zero. That way, the non-Muslim community won't be upset. The families of those who died on that tragic day won't feel humiliated...and the Muslim community will not risk vandalism and distress. Muslim might refuse to believe it, but that is what will happen. Angry people will what to express themselves and it will just hurt the Muslim community.I think the Muslims need to see the bigger picture...and think of others. Americans will feel this will disrespect those who died on 9/11. They need to compromise. more

Voting Question: Can you continue hobbies in Heaven?

This question has been asked many a time on Yahoo. It has had many an answer but all like this: Christian answer: "You can worship God forever and that's enough. Also there's a great feeling of love." Nice answer but I don't want to loose the interests that make me unique and individual. Atheist answer: "There's no Heaven." Again, nice answer. Y'know, you've got a point and are probably right. But for the sake of my question I'm assuming there's a Heaven for a mo... Thing is, I really love the idea of eternal bliss. But I really would want the factors that make me me: like the fact I like fictional werewolves* and love writing silly songs (stupid, seemingly unimportant stuff like that). They are the things that make the person I am. Kill those things, even if you leave me in a state of bliss, and you destroy me. So, those of you who are religious, please tell me what you think ( and please be open minded and understanding. Though it sounds like a ridicules concern I'm owed due respect). I'm young (almost 20) and have lead an blameless and love-filled life so far and look forward to much more of the same! Just need this question answered please. Of course, atheists, if Heaven ain't real anyway it shan't be a problem and my question won't matter a jot. *I do not like real villians or acts of violence (I'm very, very anti conflict and war) but think it's fine to enjoy stories of pretend monsters. I'm sure you'll agree there's a difference. more

Resolved Question: What do you think Arizona Border Town Home to New Illegal Immigration Tactics?

MCNEAL, Ariz. (KGUN9 –TV) – While the entire nation is talking about illegal immigration, the residents of McNeal, Arizona are impacted by the smuggling activity on a daily basis. McNeal is a community located less than thirty miles from the United States and Mexican border. Illegal immigration is a big time problem in McNeal, and all three hundred residents (some say that number is inflated) seem to have a personal story about illegal immigrants and drug or human smugglers. "Just last week, three of them showed up at my back gate. It was three young men...they were from Mexico City," shared Richard Humphries. Stephanie Langham added, "We're dealing with drug wars, human trafficking wars...we're dealing with smuggling...all of this stuff!" "We probably see 30-40 (illegal immigrants) a day between Davis Road and here!" said John Brya, adding, "At least the ones you can see!" Ones you can see? KGUN9 On Your Side didn't know exactly what the local store owner meant. But, we started to figure it all out when McNeal residents Sean and Stephanie Langham took us for a little walk. The couple met our KGUN9 reporter weeks prior at an anti-SB1070 protest in Tucson and invited us to see first hand what they say really goes on in their border town. "In this area this is where the coyotes are, the drop vehicles ... This is where you see the beginning of the drug smuggling. This isn't just about people trying to find jobs," said S&S Auto owner Sean Langham. A few steps further into the desert and under some desert brush we saw what everyone in town meant when they talked about the illegal immigrants and smugglers you could not see. That's because a lot hide in what appears to be a hole right in middle of the desert landscape. But, the hole we were gaping into wasn't any natural hole, it was an man-made underground stash house. A stash house that wasn't discovered by local cops or Border Patrol. "This was found by our children. That's who found it. I know there are a lot of mine shafts around here, but this is not a mine shaft," said Sean Langham. Our guide scouted the stash house for any occupants finding only a lone red racer snake taking up residence down below. "I've never seen anything like this. This underground stash house has its own running water, its own electric box over here, and even its own address, # 475," recounted KGUN9 reporter Joel Waldman. In the back, next to the local reptile resident, were dirty buckets that we're told double as toilets. There were plenty of buckets for plenty of people who use it to hide out. "Just two weeks ago, 70 illegal immigrants were found in this three room stash house. The people here in McNeal called Border and Customs Protection, and all 70 were detained. But this is something the people around here deal with on a daily basis," noted Waldman. Back above ground Stephanie Langham wanted to ground us in reality, "Understand you're protesting for one reason, but we're protesting for another!" This mother of four led us to another stash house, this one in plain sight, an abandoned house for sale. And, then, a moment of genuine concern, "Even now doing this interview, we don't know the repercussion!" Fear and loathing reflects how people in McNeal are feeling these days, especially toward the federal government who they say has been lax in dealing with immigration issues. "Obama wouldn't learn a damn thing he doesn't already know if he came to the border, he doesn't care," said Humphries, a retired narcotics officer. "Do you think it's a matter of time before there's another Robert Krentz (a local rancher murdered by a suspected illegal immigrant back on March 27th)?" KGUN9 asked. "I think it is only a matter of time. Yeah, I do," said Humphries. http://www.kgun9.com/Global/story.asp?S=12973520 more

Resolved Question: "Firewall Not On" Warning At Startup?

Hello, for the last two weeks I am getting a little bubble that says "Your firewall is not turned on" at startup. However, I immediately check the security section and it is on (I never take it off!). My feelings are that this is just a glitch. Our PC (running XPsp3) is getting up in age, bloated-going to do some cleaning later today w/deleting temp files etc.-so it's not surprising that it might be showing its age. I do download things but always check them before opening using my anti-malware programs. Also, regular scans are performed to ensure there are no "baddies" lurking around. There are no problems with using the internet or anything else, for that matter. One suspicious thing though. This little pop up began appearing around the time that my McAfee Security renewal came up. Being that my PC already is well protected with other programs, I did not renew McAfee. Even though the pop up bears the Windows shield, I'm wondering if McAfee is unintentionally warning (or trying to scare) me into renewing their products. Any thoughts would be most appreciated. A good day to all. more

Voting Question: PLEASE HELP, I LIVE WITH MY EX AND WANT HER BACK!!!!!!!!?

We just broke up like two months after getting our own 1 bedroom apt. We lived together for two and a half years. She is already seeing a guy but they both said they were just going to be friends. Is what she told me. She was getting sick of me not working for the last year and we've both been depressed. I promised her I would start working once I get on anti-deppressants and I am on them now. I most likely will be getting hired at Ramada. If not I will keep looking. I'm also a very talented artist and want to sell my paintings. I don't want us to get back together unless I can be the man she needs me to be, is what I told her. I asked if she would let me take her out on a date once I'm working and she said maybe. I know she likes this guy but I don't think he wants a girlfriend. My ex is very pretty even more so now that I can't kiss her and love her. I admit I've been being resentful towards her because she was so quick to go bang someone else. I've been an asshole to her because I'm so hurt inside. She is curvey and has long dark hair, her butt is thick which I like but apparently I'm not the only one who likes it. She's perfect in my eyes and it won't be hard for her to replace me even though I'm good looking aswell. A month ago she was texting me how she wants me to change and that she loves me so much and now she's acting like I don't even matter. It's really driving me crazy at this point. We sleep in the same bed still. I've been doing all the chores cause she works alot, but she still has time for meeting this guy who she had sex with and going out with her friends. Could it be that she is doing this to teach me a lesson. She says in the future I may have a chance when I win her trust back, but she doesn't want to get my hopes up. She said it will take awhile for me to prove my love for her is real through my actions. I know I should start acting like I'm not bothered, though it's so hard. I need advice from women. more

Resolved Question: Why do people buy into their own stereotypes about Obama...?

completely by-passing and ignoring what he says and then end up disappointed? Left wing stereotype of Obama: He's one of us, just trying to appease the masses. Then:-invites Rick Warren to give a speech ( gays stunned) -tries to work with Repubs ( angry liberals say: You won! act like it!) -Laughs off a pot question ( stoners can't believe it) -Not that reaaaalllyy angry at Wall street -believes in regulated capitalism ( Krugman can't get over it, he wants the banks NATIONALIZED NOW!) Right wing stereotypes: He's a muslim, communist, socialist, radical, foreign, dangerous hitler like individual who will take your guns, your bible, your money and your mommas...RUUUUNNNN!!! Then: -He really does want to capture Bin Laden -He's not as anti war as we thought ( He's always said he wants to focus on Afghanistan but no one believed him) -His bank strategy wants input from the markets and private sector oh...and he has not turned the country over to a Pot smoking Gay Kenyan Che Guevara with a Robin Hood complex...not matter what Glenn Beck says. I see him as a cautious moderate still operating in a conservative paradigm... more
