Who Owns The Internet Questions asked

Open Question: What kind of punishment is appropriate for a teen who smoked pot?

Hello, I am wondering how to deal with a teen who has been smoking pot. The child was afraid to tell her mother (my daughter) so talked to her church counselor. She told him that she had tried it for a month or so and that she didn't want to do it again. She had made some new friends that were smoking and tried it to fit in. He mother found out by checking up on her activity on the internet. Her mother has grounded her for 4 months and took away her phone, computer and friends. The kid is going to be 16 next month, she is a junior in school and also taking college classes. She is a great kid, very smart (school wise that is!) She loves school and church. I would have loved to have a child like this!! Her mother has 2 other children is divorced and has always worked at night clubs.She loves the night life and will never give it up. She missed most, if not all, of her kids birthday parties, school activities, plays..everything! (always had an excuse, have to work later, tired,etc. but will take time off work for her own pleasures). My mother has kept all the children for my daughter when she works and play's. This has been going on for over 15 years! I have seen my mother with the kids for days at a time and my daughter nevers even calls to check on them!! She sleeps all day.Great Granny has them day and night. She also ditches them when her boyfriend comes into town on the weekends, so granny has them again! I have tried talking to her about her behavior, which she denies, and of'course gets very angry and walks out. I have fought with my mother about her always letting my daughter walk all over her. My mother is worried that if she doesn't keep the children, my daughter would leave them alone without food, etc. This has been a major battle between all of us!!!! I believe if mom had not been such a pushover, my daughter may have learned that the kid's are her responsibility and that she has to care for them!! I could go on and on. This whole situation is awful!! Worst of all the kids think their own mother doesn't want them!! Sad thing is that it is probably true!! I just had to get this off my chest, I don't know how to remedy this situation. I don't know if anything can be done at this point. My mom has been a good to them and she has been to and planned all of their parties, goes to all of their plays, put them through several years of private school etc.. I didn't have the money to take on three kids! Also I thought it was my daughter's job. I have been an outcast for not sharing the responsibilty of raising them. I have been just a normal loving grandmother to them. Which is the way it should be, or at least I think it should! Now I am very worried about my oldest granddaughter ( the one I started writing about to begin with) This kind of punishment for her is extreem in my opinion. This is where your help comes in. I am to close to the situation. I will tell you that this child has been through a lot this past year. She revealed to us last year that she had been molested by one of her mother's boyfriends when she was 9 years old. There was a trial last year and the guy got to walk, (not enough evidence) and to top it off her favorite person in the world died, her great grandfather, my father! Can someone out there help!!! Thanks!! more

Open Question: Years of crap has led me to be really screwed up. I am constantly depressed and unable to communicate with ppl?

It will be long, because there are a lot of things that I feel have contributed to the way I am now. 1) My mother was/is a recluse, and because of that, while I lived with her (till I was 14), she did not let me do anything but go to school (she drove me) and come home. I couldn't play baseball because she wouldn't take me, I couldn't go to friends houses because she wouldn't let me. There was never a reason to it, besides the fact that she was a recluse and wanted me to be the same way. 2) I remember, one day, one of the girls in my middle school class, put a "i like you not" in my desk. I didn't see it, and it was the day of the parent teacher conference. My mother found it in my desk, and made fun of me for it. She put it on the fridge, and made me feel like I did something wrong. - I moved out of my moms house to stay with my father when I was 14. 3) My father immediately made it clear he didn't want me. Claiming, "I don't have the time to deal with you". He was more focused on himself (still is) than me. He is a wealthy man, and did nothing to "raise" me, but provide me with a room. In fact, he refused to take the time to buy me a bed, so for at least 2 years, I slept on the carpet floor. I had to walk to the high school on my own to register myself. I was 14. He did nothing but throw money at me and demand I wasn't home when he was. (He would constantly bring home dates). At this point, because of the way my mother raised me, I was terrible in social situations. I had no practice. I had one friend in my freshmen year in high school, and the only thing I remember about him, relating to the only girl I had ever asked out in high school. It was because of my friend saying "just do it". I still remember her face, clearly thinking I was a joke. She said no. That was the year before I moved in with my father. I kept in contact with my friend for a little while over the internet. The thing I remember was, the girl I had asked out, asked him for his camera, and took naked pictures of herself and sent them to him. He got all the girls. I was clearly the weird friend. I was depressed, and almost killed myself. Now at this new high school, (sophmore year), a few people befriended me, but then turned out to just do it as a joke. I made one friend over the entire next 3 years in that new high school, it was a girl. I some how, got her to go out with me. She was my first kiss. A day or so after that, she called me, and said "i am sorry" and long story short, one of those guys who "Befriended me", went up to the girl, asked her out, and did everything with her, just to make me look stupid and bad. He succeeded. She apologized to me, after realizing why the other guy did what he did. I immediately hung up and never talked to her again. I remember walking by her in the hall ways, and she would try to talk to me, and I couldn't look at her, or say a word. I even remember her crying because I wouldn't even talk to her. I met her my sophomore year in high school. I didn't talk to another person at that school in any context but something to do with class ever since. All I did was study, praying I could get away from those people, my father and mother. I got into a out of state college, (Ohio state) with a full ride. My father didn't even come to my graduation. My mother wouldn't leave to make the 4 hour long drive. The only person who came was my brother. At college, I kind of felt like I could start over, and it worked. I made a few friends and had one girl friend. For some reason, (Probably lack of social training), I screwed it up with the girl by saying something that pissed her off, and I ended up just drifting apart from the friends. I remember on several occasions they would jokingly tell me "we thought you died" because for months at a time, I wouldn't leave me room for anything but class and I ate nothing but chips in my room. I transferred from Ohio state to go to USC (this time I had to pay), and didn't talk to a single person for the entire time I was there. I went 2 years without getting a single persons phone number. The only person I ever called was my brother. I gained around 70 pounds over that time, and did nothing but study and eat. I took the last year off, and lost all the weight. I also made it into medical school, and that is were I am now. A few people here have kind of befriended me, but I already feel myself drifting apart. I know, years of bad/neglectful parents and bad memories of every friend I ever made had led me to be really socially inept. I fear I am either going to just go back to being antisocial, or piss these people off to the point where I don't have a choice but to be antisocial. How can I get over 22 years of terrible background. more

Open Question: Should I get a Macbook Pro for my needs?!?

Okay. So i am a college student who has purchased a Macbook Pro 15 inch the new one that costed ($1699, with the new college deal). The thing is i havent opened it and i dont know if i should keep it yet. I mean i was looking into some pc's and there are good toshibas that are more bang for the buck! But the question is is the Mac actually worth it for my need, i dont know because ive never owned one so thats why i am asking you guys! Okay so i go to DeVry and I am Majoring in game design. I am thinking i will have to use programs such as Adobe flash and illustrator and maybe Maya as well in the future. I will also use the computer to browse the internet and do my homework in maybe office or something. MAybe if i have the chance i will play with the mac applications because they are there but that is not my main concern at all. I need to know if this is worth the price. SO i will be going into that major and maybe also use it to play starcraft 2 for a little but just to play it because i heard it is good. here is a link to the laptop http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MC371LL/A?mco=MTc0Njg1OTY . Let me know your opinions and experiences especially if you are in this major. Im not sure what to do so i need as much help as possible because i am completely indecisive. I also looked at some Asus' but i dont know any for a good price or what to look for in them. But if the macbook is worth it then im going to open it and use it if its going to be great and last me for my college years. more

Open Question: I feel like my life is wasting away?

Hey I'm 18 now and I can now say that I have never really 'lived'. I hope to study biomedical science/medicine w/ foundation yr nexy year I've kind of hit rock botton over the last month. I got my A-level results BCC (in Bio,Chem, and Eng Lit though i'm getting Eng remarked). I was quite sad but what made it worse was the constant happiness of others who got into the uni's they wanted, and got good if not amazing grades; and clearing..all the uni's I wanted to go to didn't want me as they said they only pick the 'best candidates' It almost made me feel like less of a human and made be feel that I 'made myself better than I actually was' because I am a good student, I work hard but never seem to get the grades I deserve. My main regret with A-level was picking IT instead of art, not to blow my own trumpet but I was gifted at it, It would a been an easy A/A* and my other grades might have gone up and I definitely would be going to uni... ICT killed my grades tbh Too time consuming, pointless, and a waste of time.. what's worse is that people warned me about picking I am currently taking a gap year; maybe this was God's plan for me not to go to uni this year so I could really find myself..I dunno :/ They say 'live life to the fulliest' and 'live every day as if it was your last' but I don't know how to. I mainly now stay at home sitting around, on the internet/watcing tv waiting for the hours to go by until I come to turns with the fact that i'm actually on a gap year..life is like a boring routine for me now. Without money (which i don't have) and friends (who are going to uni and will forget about me) What do I really have? I had plans for myself to be something great make it difference in a world and sitting on my **** all day doesn't do me any favours :/ And YES before you ask this is depressing (maybe it's a faze?) more

Open Question: Credit Card Fraud Framed?

hello, today i got in the mail a brand new hp laptop computer from best buy, i am out of town but my dad called me and told me i had received it and it was under my name. My dad signed for it since i told him i was gonna receive about 4 shipments from china while i was away. Now what concerns me is that if they bought it with a stolen credit card or used their own credit card and then blame me how will i prove it wasn't me who ordered it? i mean i dont think anyone is that stupid to buy something online and ship it to their house. "Like the saying goes dont sh1t where you eat" so i think someone was just f-ing around and shipped it to my house to f-with me and get me in trouble. I know that they can trace the ip address to the house where they used the card so i know i am clear of that, but what keeps the cops from telling me i could have gone to a local internet wifi place and buy it? This is just ridiculous and i hope the person who did this goes to jail for mail fraud and credit card fraud and spends life in prison for wasting my time. this is childish and i really hope the scammer used his house computer and not a public computer so he can get caught!! Now what i am worried about is that the cops in my city suck, they are a bunch of dutch bags and wont belive me lol. So can i take a lie detector test to prove my inosence? or they only use that in murder cases? thanks a lot im going to call best buy and ups tomorrow when i arrive back in town or the following day depends on what time i get home and i will file a police report. or do you guys think i should just wait to see what happens?? my dad went into best buy and said the value of the laptop was $600 dollars so its pretty expensive. BTW i think it might have been someone of my hater friends, i mean i do pretty good and i am only 20 years old and some of my friends envy me so it has to be someone i know or my gf's parents thats the only people that i think would do this. anyways i hope they get at least a year in jail :D waste of time, but in the end when they get caught it would all be worth it seeing the look on their face!!!!! please tell me any suggestions or things you think i should do to get this problem out of the way. more

Open Question: state and Commonwealth legislation and industry standards (australia)?

I just got a job in IT and with all the information i got given there where there are case studies and so on to get us thinking about what we can do legally and so on. Once i start the boss will sit down and talk to me about them and answer any questions i have on them. But i really want to make a good impression so i have been looking around trying to find all the information i can get. this is one of the case studies and i was wondering if you know of any sites that relate to this or if you could help me out in any way that would be great. thankyou. Alice works in the IT Department of a NSW medical centre, and is a member of the Australian Computer Society (ACS). Her friend, Jason, who owns an Internet café, is disputing employee Neil’s claim of work-related injury from faulty equipment. Jason believes Neil deliberately misused the equipment so he could claim workers compensation for a pre-existing sports injury. Jason asks Alice to access Neil’s computer files to confirm his suspicion. Consider that Alice has strong views against medical fraud, and Jason is a good friend in a bad situation. Does their friendship justify Alice helping Jason out? What are Jason’s and Alice’s obligations under state and Commonwealth legislation and industry standards? more

Resolved Question: 10 wedding rules you can break. What do you think?

I was reading on The Knot website about outdated wedding rules. How do you feel about them? http://wedding.theknot.com/wedding-planning/planning-a-wedding/articles/10-wedding-rules-you-can-break.aspx?cm_ven=Responsys&cm_cat=KnotNews&cm_ite=September%2007,%202010&MsdVisit=1 Old School Rule #1: The bride's parents pay for the wedding. New Rule: Every couple funds the festivities in different ways. Maybe your mom and dad want to pay for every single thing, but, unlike in the past where the bride's family was expected to foot the whole bill, they're in no way obligated to now. Grooms' parents and the couples themselves chip in nearly as often as brides' parents do. It just depends on your family's situation. If you'd like your fiancé's parents' help, your husband-to-be will need to ask for it -- not you, and certainly not your parents. Just remember: Whoever pays gets a say. If you know your mother-in-law will insist on an in-church ceremony if she contributes and you've got your heart set on exchanging vows on a sandy beach, you may be happier cutting your guest list than asking her to contribute anything. Old School Rule #2: You must invite everyone with a guest. New Rule: If they'll know others, skip the plus-one. It's still polite (and very appreciated!) to invite guests' significant others, but if you're inviting a group of coworkers, for instance, and two or more of them are single, they should have no problem attending solo. Only when guests won't know anyone aside from the couple is it mandatory to let them bring a date. It's kind to invite attendants with guests too (they are shelling out big bucks for their attire!). Old School Rule #3: Your registry should consist entirely of housewares for your new home. New Rule: You can register for anything from honeymoon hotel accommodations to skiing equipment. Guess what, Grandma? Lots of couples live together before they get married and may have all of the towels and blenders they'll ever want. You can request upgraded versions of home items you already own, but nothing should stop you from creating a honeymoon or otherwise "untraditional" registry. These are your gifts, and you need to be happy with them! If you're inviting a few Internet-less guests, including items from a brick-and-mortar store they can actually get to will help prevent a buildup of unwanted presents. But you should feel free to include a ping-pong table for your basement or the complete Sex and the City DVD collection on your wish list if you can't use yet another kitchen appliance. A word of caution: Some of the older folks think that they know what brides and grooms really need, so they may get you an iron even if you haven't requested one. Old School Rule #4: You must wear a long, white gown. New Rule: Wear whatever you want! Sure, most brides go the long white or ivory route, but for your wedding day attire, anything goes: from a retro short dress to a silver, slinky sheath to a (gasp!) black pantsuit. As long as you feel fabulous in your outfit, it can be any color or style. You can even skip the veil! Warning: Your fashion choices may wind up shocking your older guests, especially the ones who equate wearing white with "purity." If you'd prefer that your look pleases the crowd but aren't willing to go totally traditional, try working in a hint of color via a dress sash, your shoes, jewelry or a hair accessory or opting for a tea-length dress. Old School Rule #5: Your mom can't throw your shower. New Rule: Anyone can throw your shower! People used to think it was rude for the bride's mother to host a party where the sole purpose was for her daughter to get gifts. Other close family members, like sisters, were similarly forbidden from hosting. We didn't get this then, and we don't get it now, and luckily, today's mothers of the bride are ignoring the passé etiquette. In some cultures and regions of the US, like Italians in the Northeast, the mother always hosted her daughter's shower. So encourage your mom to throw yours if you think that she wants to! Your bridesmaids may be itching to throw a shower for you too, so make sure that they coordinate with your mom before they make any definite plans. **You can see the rest on the website.** more

Open Question: Why do we have a 2 party system?

I'm independent and I strongly believe in preventing laws that take away my rights. Over the years it seems to me that Republicans generally talk about less government regulations, yet they try to pass laws the prevent people from making their own decisions (i.e. abortion, gay marriage). Meanwhile, you have democrats who, to me, talk a good talk about helping each other (i.e. healthcare, wellfare), but that's just giving my money to others. I can understand why a party was important back before we had computers and the internet. But now? Why can't we disolve the parties and force the candidates to sign up to a government run website? Each candidate can post their thoughts on each of the issues listed on the website. Then people could visit the site. they could answer questions about the different candidates and the candidates would then be listed in order of most relevent for that person. The person could then simply browse the candidates and choose who they like most. In this way, people would be voting for a candidate who has answered the issues to match that individual the best, instead of saying, "oh, my parents were republican and have brainwashed me into being a good christian, which also means I have to vote republican, or "my parents were hippies and always believe in giving away everything they had, so that means I have vote democrat." The current way we vote (most people vote by party and nothing else), is just rediculous. OH, and if people have a problem with the internet due to security, there has been plenty of cheating recorded for past elections without the internet, so using it can't get any worse. And for those who don't currently owna computer, on election day, you'll be able to go to your polling place and vote on one set up there, in the meantime, go to your library or a friends house. more

Resolved Question: Do you think this guy just paid the girls for the most part? Is it easy to get laid on sex chat rooms?

I read this on some adult website Personal Information My name is Rick and like most of normal straight males out there, I've always fantasized about being with lots of hot girls. In fact, I kept a diary with the number of girls I had sex with, the girls I got BJs from, the girls I made out with, etc. My lifetime goal, which I set when I was in my teens, was to reach 100 girls (not including working girls). So I tried hard at getting to that number by going to bars, clubs, etc. with a fair amount of success. But then one day I discovered the internet and this has turned out to be the best tool for getting laid EVER invented. I remember the first time I logged on, I found myself in a sex chat room after 30 minutes on being on the net and was talking with some girl 2000 miles away about sex. Then I started going for girls that were closer to me and next thing you know, I started to get laid a lot with these online hook ups. I thought to myself this net thing was just so much easier and efficient than going out to look for girls. After all, I used to spend a lot of time and money, go thru a lot of bullshit and maybe get laid. So I decided to spend more time on the net to look for girls to fuck. And since I was working my way to my 100 girl goal, I decided to put an ad for models on the local paper and pitch them a modeling assignment on the net so I could maybe meet more girls to fuck. And although I had no clue on how to build a website, I started to take pictures of them with my cheap 35mm camera. After few months of being online, I started swinging and eventually met some girls who had their own websites who needed guys to perform for them. I thought getting laid would not get easier than this.. just show up, fuck the girl and then leave. What better than that?? and I eventually became good friends with some of the girls and within few months, I started thinking of actually doing a site myself. At that point I had the enough knowledge and connections. So I taught myself how to do a website and the rest is history. Today, I have surpassed my "goal" and I am just having a great time doing this. Here is some basic information about me: Name: Rick Age: 30's Profession: Financial Advisor, Webmaster/Actor/Fucker Location: California, Florida, Canada, Europe, and wherever beautiful girls take me Experience: I had zero experience in taking pictures, video, or building a website when I started in late 2000.

Open Question: Do komondors in short coats really not shed?

I was looking into getting a komondor, but just needed to know this answer. Yes, I have looked up tons of info about personality, etc. and I know they'd be a good fit for my husband and I. The one thing I can't get a straight answer on is, do they shed or not?! lol A lot of websites say no, a lot say yes. Even the Komondor club WEBSITE on two different pages say a different answer! Also please keep in mind I'm asking if their coat was kept short. OBVIOUSLY they don't shed their cords(though I know they can lose them due to certain reasons, so don't worry about telling me about that.). Also please I only wants answers from people who own or know people that own these dogs. If you're gonna just look it up on the internet that doesn't help me much since that's what I've already done huh? ;) Please respond, I'd greatly appreciate it! ^_^ more

I can't find a specific ENJOI bag- Sold out everywhere. Anyone know where I can get one/will someone sell me? I'm looking for this 'Enjoi Skateboards Totely Tote Bag' in Purple or Sky Blue.

Open Question: what is the punishment for this?

making erotic drawings of children (as art, or for your own viewing pleasure) note: drawings are not to be distributed on the internet or otherwise, they're for someone's own viewing pleasure or "art" I'm wondering because I recently saw a book about an artist named Henry Darger who made literally thousands upon thousands of erotic drawings of children, they were discovered in his apartment after his death and published. Would this guy be thrown in jail if somebody came to inspect his home while he was still alive? here is a link to a Wikipedia article about the man (nope no porn here, don't freak out) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Darger There is another artist who also did semi-erotic drawings of children, Balthus de Rola, here's the wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balthus Would possession of their art work be illegal in America? more

Open Question: Why is it common to celebrate birthdays?

Today my father asked me to sign a birthday card for my mother. After I did, he asked me, "Do you know when her birthday is?" I said no, and he went into this thing about how she gave birth to me, and that I should really know that date. Here's how I feel: 1.I've never thought about or wondered about my mother's birthdate. Aside from using the Internet, or asking her or someone else, I wouldn't know. 2.It's really just an anniversary. It's nice to still be living, and live for many more years, but it's not a holiday. Yes, she's my mother who carried me for almost one year, raised me for several more, and still continues to care for me, but a birthday is no more special than any other day. The baby's day or birth, yes, every anniversary of the day, not-so-much. 3.I help around the house often and help bring in groceries, etc. If not her birthday, I can do it the day before or after, so it's not like she's always cleaning up the house on her own, (even though my parents and sister always did so before I was born). 4.I don't know of any religions/philosophies that started or have this tradition. I know I sound cynical, but I feel the same about my birthday. Sure, on my birthday, I think, "I wonder what will happen today/what I will get?" but if I were never exposed to the tradition, I probably wouldn't give a second thought or even the first thought. If you offer, then I'll ask for something, but it shouldn't be an expectation. Not even if it just so happened that someone discovered a cure for some disease on their birthday, or came up with some plan that achieved world peace, that wouldn't warrant a gift, but an award, something that marks the accomplishment, not something for them. more

Open Question: Help with choosing internet provider?

I'm a student moving into my own house with some friends next year and I need some help selecting an internet provider (UK). Can someone help? Imagine you're talking to a five year old who doesn't understand technical jargon and so on. We want high speed, wi-fi, and the ability to download things quickly. Obviously we want usage each month to be unlimited as there are four of us and we use the internet every day. We don't need to make phone calls from a landline as it'll probably cost extra and we all have extra minutes on mobile contracts. Obviously it needs to be affordable, as we're students. We know the house has had a phoneline and internet before, but we have no idea how to set up a new one or transfer companies. What companies are the best according to our needs? How do we go about selecting a package that's right for us? Help! more

Open Question: What's wrong with me and what should I do?

I'm an 18 year old male and I'm going to be a senior in high school this year. I don't smoke, I don't drink and I'm still a virgin. I masturbate a lot, watch porn/fetish videos and draw artwork featuring anime/cartoon characters in fetish situations that I post on the internet. I've had to deal with a lot of bullying and harassment from other kids at school. I'd cry a lot, cut myself and contemplate suicide. Near the end of last year, I had to go to a psychiatric hospital for a week where I was diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder. I was given special medication to take, I see a therapist every few weeks and things have gotten a lot better. One of my big issues is that I feel alone in the world a lot... I don't have many friends and I have lots of issues with my parents and family... I like to write and I've been working on writing my own fantasy story that focuses on a relationship between a teenage boy and his adopted younger sister, who is based off the late child actress Heather O'Rourke from the Poltergeist films.... I work as a lifeguard at a local sports club. There's a girl there, about 10 years old now, with blond hair and blue eyes, who reminds me of Heather O'Rourke for some reason... She's really perky and outgoing. I don't know why, but I have this messed up obsession with this girl. Last summer, while I was working at the pool and had to watch the tennis kids play water polo, she talked to me and we ended up in a conversation for a little while. Later, she was waiting with her brothers at the pool for her parents to pick them up. She was playing with a ball and it kept going into the pool and I had to fish it out for her. I was visiting my friend at his new house, I saw her playing outside on the neighbors lawn with some other kids. I asked my friend about this because I was curious about whether that was her or not and it turned out her cousins live there. Later, this summer, after my whole depression episode, when she and the other kids were playing in the pool, she took off this green ribbon thingy she had in her hair and left it by the pool. I found it after she left and she even came back to the pool for a second and I tried to give it to her, but she couldn't hear me from where she was. I wanted to give it back to her the next time I saw her but I somehow ripped it accidentally. The next time I worked there I actually placed it around the pool, like on chairs, thinking she might pick it up or ask for it back. I saw her looking at it for a while but she didn't do anything, so I've been holding onto it this whole time. When one of the tennis coaches left their clipboard alone, I looked at it and found out her full name. The club I work at has a facebook page and I found a lot of pictures of her on it. I also discovered that her family was featured on an Internet Web Show where their house was remodeled and discovered she lives like 20 minutes from where I live. I download the episode and all the youtube videos as well as the photos I found of her because I'm afraid I might not ever see her again. So... I'm thinking I've got some sort of behavioral/obsession problem. Nobody knows about this but me. I don't know if I'm sick in the head, if it's because this girl reminds me Heather O'Rourke, or because she reminds me also of a character I'm trying to write for a book and I'm basing her off this actual person... Maybe it's all of both. Maybe I'm just thinking too much or my minds all messed up from the stuff I've been through... But for some reason I just really wish I could see this girl more and talk to her like I did before. I wish she was like my cousin or something. Anyway, I'm sorry for what I've done and I want to know what to do about this situation... And what should I do if I see this girl in the future? more

Open Question: Are you a wrestling fan? or are you a internet fan? see description.?

If something doesn't happen on a wrestling event such as say... SummerSlam 2010 or WWE's Raw 900th episode that has been "rumoured" on the internet to take place by people who watch it, and it doesn't happen, would you say the event was awful, boring, rubbish? When you bash it do you talk about anything that happened on the event? Or do you just talk about what didn't happen and "what should have happened because people had been talking about it happening on the internet". Or are you a wrestling fan who enjoys what actually does happen, or be dissapointed, gutted, mad, angry that your favourite lost? I know there are those still around, but being completely honest, critisism of wrestling events only evolve around rumoured dissapointments. Correct? Reason I'm asking is because I would like as many of you as possible to be honest and say how you judge a wrestling show. BQ) Do you really think that rumoured stuff on the net by those who watch it is automatically gospel to what will really happen? Reasons why some didn't like SummerSlam 2010 AND I QUOTE.... "SummerSlam sucked because Cena didn't turn heel" "We all knew that Taker was coming back, it was predictable and boring" Is that a contradiction? in your own opinion..... Reasons why many some didn't like the Raw 900th AND I QUOTE... "The Rock didn't even show up" "There was no Trish or Lita even tho they were supposed to be there" Your thoughts? Please feel free to comment, bash me if I have offended you. Please answer the question to back up your statement to either one. Many thanks! more

Open Question: High-Quality iPad Case?

I recently purchased an iPad, and I have had difficulty finding a quality case for it. I've tried many different types, from several different companies, but in the end I've returned each one within a week, mostly because of poor build. Each time, no matter how much care is used in handling, each has started deteriorating within the first 2 days of owning the particular case. I've checked on the internet, and I have found one I'm interested in. The Dodo Case seems to be pretty high-quality to me, and I'm planning on purchasing one. So, this part of my question is directed towards people who either own a Dodo Case, or those who have tried them out. How safe is the iPad within the case? When watching the videos on the site, the demonstration shows that it can fall out quite easily if the case is turned upside down while an iPad is inside. I'm not planning on taking my iPad for a joy ride or anything like that, but I'd like to know that the chances of having to shell out money to have the device fixed is low, or non-existent. What about the build quality? Many of the cases I've tried have either been leather or faux-leather, and they started falling apart quickly. The faux-leather on the Dodo Case looks sturdier than anything I've come across yet, but I thought that with my last attempt at finding a home for the iPad, too. For those who have had the case for a longer period of time, does the elastic band used to keep the case shut weather quickly? I know typically any time of elastic like that stretches and becomes virtually useless pretty fast, which is a huge downside if you can't even keep it closed after owning it for more than a few months. Also, with the inside being made of bamboo, with only the pieces of foam protecting the corners of the device, is it possible for the rest of the device to get scratched within the case? Or does the iPad never actually touch the bamboo? I would hate to be stuck in a situation of ironic proportions. And as for part two, for anyone who owns an iPad and a case for their iPad, other than the Dodo case, what would you recommend? My personal fiances are not unlimited, so it would need to be within the $60 price range. I'm looking for something sturdy and dependable. Something that will last, so I won't need to take it back or have to buy another one in the future. I'm not the type to own 10 different cases, I just want one case that I can use often without worrying about it falling apart. Thanks. more

Open Question: Wireless Router Internet History..?

My friend who's a guy linked me to a porn video for a joke and I fell for it and I clicked the link. Anyway, I am worried my parents will see this and think I look at porn. I have my own laptop, but can they access the router to see everything I have been on? It's just a regular router plugged into the wall. I am 18 by the way, but it would still be embarassing. They aren't very technical or anything.What I mean is, can it be done easily. Thanks. more

Open Question: Who is the owner of this house ?

Ok here goes. I was surfing the internet looking at houses and I out of the blue, looked up my Fathers house. Now let me give you some insight on the history of my family here. My dad 31 and mother 17 married in 1974 had 3 kids 1975,1977,1979. They got divorced in 1983. He then remarried in late 1989 to a lady a little older than him. Anyways she had a son who was 27 at the time they got married. Well my father ended up passing away in 1991. Prior to him passing away, he and his new wife had purchased a house. Well her son " my stepbrother" lived there with them. So when he passed away he didnt have his "will" done. Unexpected death, Well it was a whole legal battle between my siblings/mother and my stepmother. So all and all she obviously got all she wanted out of the deal, concidering we were 14,12,10 when he passed away. Well 6 years later my stepmother passes away. So I was wondering how this could be, I looked at the house that they owned together, and it still is under both of there names. If they are both deceased how can they still have a mortgage under their name. I now my stepbrother still lives in the home, but wouldnt he have to sign it over to him or something.. You see when this all went down after my fathers death, we grew very distant from them, So can someone shed some insight on this. more

Resolved Question: I'm really getting anxious over not being able to home some cats?

I'm visiting a foreign city that has no animal shelters, absolutely none. It has no humane societies for animals either, and sometimes even vets look down upon stray animals. So my brother brought this cat off the street, but he refused to spay her, and she had kittens, who had kittens of their own and so on. So right now there are 6 cats here, and I'd like to home them. I've tried everything, ads on the internet, posters, calling vet offices, going to the local park, calling day care centers, and absolutely nothing. I gave only two cats away. The rest of the people who called were just plain weird. They would just call and say where do you live, and when can I pick up the cat? They didn't ask about the cat, about it's personality, they didn't reveal anything about themselves, their past history, nothing. So the cats are 3 months old, and I'm really getting anxiety attacks that I will never give these cats away. I get even panic attacks now, although I am prone to anxiety just on my own. What do I do? Should I call embassies around here, and ask if they want cats? Because some of the locals here treat animals like objects, once they get past a certain age, they just give them away....Please help... Thanks. more

Resolved Question: Reinstalling Windows Vista...big mistake?

I own a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop with Windows Vista. My brother somehow got a virus on it and I asked my friend who knows a lot about computers to come over and help. He tried just about everything and the last resort was to wipe everything on my computer including Windows Vista. We didn't think it would work until I found a reinstallation CD for Windows Vista home premium 32bit sp1 that came with my laptop. So we wiped my computer and reinstalled Vista. I noticed when I logged on that everything looked bigger like in safe mode and I didn't have as much options as I did with Windows Vista. I tried to connect to the internet so I could reinstall programs but couldn't do it. I've tried everything and looked at my wireless router 5374879042 times!!!! No luck. I was up all night with my friend trying to figure something out and nothing worked... I looked at the cd one more time and noticed in small print it said that this was not used to reinstall programs or drivers. Then I found out about "System Restore" and felt like a complete idiot....I tried to do that and it would only take me back to after we wiped everything (which I figured). HELP!!!!! more

Open Question: How do the people like Machinima put high quality videos of games on the internet?

I've always wanted to put my own youtube videos up, which I have but could only record with a ipod or a regular camera. But when I see people like machinima who have put videos up, but the quality is perfect, it makes me wonder what they use. Does anyone know what type of things that they use? Like is it just a really good camera? Do they hook it the xbox or ps3 to the internet ( also if this is right, do you have to be on live to do it ), does it cost anything to buy it also. Plz and Ty more

Open Question: Penis Size, why is it important?

I am not saying this to make anyone laugh but my penis is 1 and a 1/2 inch when hard, yes I was born with Micro-penis syndrome and back in my high school years I didn't know this I thought it was average until the 2nd time I was laughed out of the bedroom. The first one was more polite and didn't actually laugh she just felt it with her hand smirked ever so subtly and said "I think we're taking it too far too soon", but the 2nd one she was so mean, and cruel she saw it and laughed like the screaming banshee, started making making ego crushing jokes like "Someone call U.P.S. this guy has a small package" and insults like "my 7 year old brother isn't this small" (Pretty weird ***** if she measures her young brother's dick) and continues to say that it couldn't satisfy her If it was 4 inches but the jokes on her because girls are never satisfied but I've moved on since then I realized I was a closeted asexual just looking for sex because of peer pressure (I never even liked the feeling of my erection and have never masturbated) I stopped looking for women until I was sent one from heaven my wife of 10 years mother of my seven children (#8 is on the way) but looking back at my Faux-spring years I can't help but think about how my conception of my size has changed over the years and how i look at it now as a blessing and a key to the future.. But before I saw it that way and recently I kept looking on the internet for this question but all I find is kids with 4-7 inch ***** thinking that is small, but kids are stupid as I was. As I read these questions I just can't help but ask some my own and get the public to answer so my questions are Why is a big penis so desired and a small one (like mine and all other men under 3 inches) so laughed at and scorned to the point where they question their worth as a human being ? Is sex really the end all be all of human existence as Ferris Bueller said or is that idea just a glorified mess spewed out by Movies and TV? Is it the fault of size queens or the psychological male penis envy of wanting bigger bigger bigger to enough excess that they can use their penises as pogo sticks to get around? Why is this such a big issue especially for teens and pre-teens who should focus more on their studies? until we can stand in a unisex shower room and laugh at all people's genitles no matter what size or shape there will be no equality I'd like to end on a joke This family of a mom, dad, son, and daughter were at a nude beach the son and daughter were playing in the sand when the daughter runs to mom and says "Mommy I saw a woman with bigger boobies then yours" the mother looks at her and says "The bigger they are the dumber they are" so the girl goes back to the sand as the son comes up to mom and says "mom I saw a man with a bigger ding-dong than daddy's" the mother looks at the son and says "The bigger they are the dumber they are" so the boy walks back to the sand after a while the son and daughter come up to the mom and says "Mommy we saw daddy talking to the dumbest lady we've ever seen and it must be contagious because daddy was getting dumber and dumber by the second."do I sound like I want enlargement Ronnie? you are the kind of people that I don't understand read my original post and think about it more

Voting Question: Old house with 2 prong outlets. is the box grounded?

Im renting a house for a steal of a price,(hence im not moving out) its a 3 bedroom 2 bath. problem is.. i think it was built in the 50's so every outlet in the house only has 2 prongs. I have read some posts on the internet and one said that the box may be grounded. could this be true, and can i test it myself? (i know how to turn off the circuit breaker and replace outlets) can i replace these outlets without an entire electrical renovation... ironically the guy who owned it before me was a career electrician. Should the whole house be grounded for resale in the future if it is not?thanks for all the responses so far. just as an added note, the previous owner passed away about 3 weeks ago, i am renting from his son (my uncle). and he would be willing to foot the bill, yet i dont want to drop a $10,000 bomb on him. ( I would assume resale would require that the outlets be code.) more

I am a single lesbian mother who is aroused a lot. I do not believe in one night stands. So I need to take matters into my own hands a lot of the time. I am very visual. I like to look at pics online but sometimes my internet sucks so bad and can go down for days. So I buy magazines to help with that. I hide them in a place where my daughter can not reach. But I get a lot of weird looks when I walk into the corner store(I am not brave enough to step into a porn shop yet) to buy then. The guys who are behind the counter always look at me like I am an alien yet strangely the girl that works there isn't surprised at all that I buy them.It is more the looks I get from people. why is it that the men look at me oddly yet the woman who works there seems to not be bothered by it. The way you hear things you would think men would be excited to see a woman buy a porn magazine. Yet these guys look at me like I am the devil or somethingNo they do sell quite a few porn magazines and dvds. There shelf is nearly empty alot of the time during the end of the day. I have learned to go and buy it in the morning when there is less people more

Voting Question: PH questions for the freshwater fish experts?

I have a 37 gallon freshwater aquarium...mostly african cichlids and a couple other compatibles. I have a couple live plants and a big piece of live driftwood so I am assuming they are the culprit for the low ph level. My ph level is at about 6.2 which is obviously too low for african cichlids. The 6.2 is stable and hasn't budged since I've own the tank in the last couple months. The fish appear stress free...I am just worrying if this may affect them long term. I have tried ph increasers...they're a joke. Some have also recommended crushed coral, limestone, etc. although different sources on the internet have said that didn't work for them either. I did read about one product made specifically for cichlids which is supposed to raise the ph to about 8.5 which maybe me to high for some of the non-cichlids who are 6.5-7.5 so what should I do? Ideally, I would like to get the ph to about 7.5ish...that would be a perfect ph for the combo of fish I have. Or...should I just leave the PH as is? I also read that as long as the ph is stable that it doesn't make a huge difference. more

Voting Question: Why is the Bible so violent and disturbing?

"Hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?.--Isaiah 36:12" Or how about this one: "A blessing on anyone who seizes your babies, and shatters them against a rock." Psalms 137:9." These types of bible passages are all over the internet. Why the hell are they so disturbing? I thought God was a good thing. Can someone make some sense of this? more

Open Question: Could someone please help me with my Native character?

One of my characters is an Aboriginal designed doll who lives on a Mohawk reserve; based on Kanahwake. I am not in any part a Native American nor do I have very much connections to the reserve. So could someone; preferably from or who knows someone from that kind of community, please help me sort out some key cultural elements so that I may make her as authentic and non offensive as possible. My questions are: 1) Should I make her lactose intolerant? Because I read on a survey that up to 75% of Aboriginal people are so should I to make her more relateable to fellow Native children? 2) This one is the one I REALLY need; if it's not too much trouble. Could a fellow Mohawk please share with me what their modern beliefs are? There is so much misleading information over the internet and I could really use some trustworthy information. Being an Aboriginal doll, she honors the traditional corn-husk dolls, how should I go about this from the point of view of a real Aboriginal person? Where should her values lie? What should I make her do at the Pow-wows? So far I got that she eats Indian Tacos, wild rice and frye bread and dresses as a jingle dancer; but she doesn't know how to do the dance she just dresses that way at them because all dolls love to "play dress up" at their special occasions. She's a VERY modern doll, she listens to mp3 players, wears the latest in doll clothing etc but I want her to honour some key Native traditions as well. What should these be? I want her to be very proud of her Native heritage, often speaking Mohawk freely and wearing clothes that reflect her pride as well, how else should she show that pride? What other things would YOU suggest to make her more authentic and relatable to Native kids? PLEASE REMEMBER that this is NOT meant to be a racist or stereotypical project, and ANY comments that sound like they are will be ignored and if possible DELETED. Keep in mind that I want this to be a character that reflects possitively on the modern Native American kids, a character that they can relate to, love, and most importantly call their own. So keep it cival, true, and politically correct. In the words of her mother tounge, Nia: wen! That means thank you! more

Resolved Question: What are bullmastiff's like?

So I've always owned rottweilers, and currently have one female and was considering purchasing a bullmastiff male.The bullmastiff is two years old and the owner (my friend) has had to move to a house which doesn't accept dogs. He says its very good with people of all ages and other dogs so that is good. However i have done a lot of researching and thought just before i buy it i want to hear from someone who actually owns one. So I was wondering how affectionate are they to there family. Having owned rottweiler I'm used to my dogs following me around and wanting to always be near me, is this the case with bullmastiffs, or will they happily just sit around. If there's anything else you'd like too tell me, like your experience with Bullmastiffs or anything else that doesn't really come up on the internet, this would be great. Thanks in advance. more

Resolved Question: please don't take this question seriously, just a thought?

well i don't even know even if this is a question but i want to share some of my thoughts with you if you let me. i was browsing the internet and i happened to come across a website that was dedicated to young people who had lost their lives tradgically and early, it had so many images of these deceased people, image after image (all thumbnails) of boys, girls, young woman and young men, babies, all different. it made me incredibly sad and depressed last night i was barely able to sleep well. it sadly disturbed me to see so many images of so people who are no longer with us today, if there is no heaven or God, do you think there may be a spirit world... and please, please, no rudeness or trolling. please have some respect for people who have passed away or are greaving, every one is entitled to voice their own opinion without harming or offending any one else. thank you. more

Voting Question: Spiritually speaking; Now that I no longer want to be Muslim what am I to do about my spirituality?

Ok so I've pretty much given up on Islam, I dont want to be Muslim anymore, after reading the Qur'an and learning about their religion (Along with the fact that they didnt accept me to begin with) Ive decided that Islam is wrong for me. Anyway now Im back to where i started, I have nothing to believe in and give me self respect. I honestly need something to believe, but none of any religion Ive ever heard of makes sense (Except for irrelgions) But I dont want to be irreligious! I want to be a part of people who accept me and are nice and believe in an afterlife that doesnt condemn anyone, especially me! What good does atheism do? If Im just going to rot in the ground when I die, and live in a state of existence I was in before I was conceived, whats the point in going through all of lifes bullshit? Im 15, just because Im transsexual doesnt mean I should be the poster child for maturity and Nirvana. Im sure if any other 15 year old was picked on as much as me and hated/disliked by over half for world for hating the prison of a body they were born in, they wouldn't be too very content with the idea of going through life just to die and not exist either. Yes I get it, I'm really ******* lucky to be getting a sex change at 15, but that doesnt make me any less depressed about being transsexual in general... in fact it makes me feel kinda bad at times because the world is so unfair, its hard for me to believe theres no reason to suffer, that everything happens by chance. My life has been so good because I got lucky, just out of random chance I was born in a pretty open minded era in the United States with an accepting father and aunt. And other than being transsexual Im perfectly healthy.. sometimes it makes me feel guilty like Im taking advantage over it all. Before a few days ago I was pretty happy being irrelgious (Agnostic Deist/Panentheist/whatever) because I had my own beliefs, but since I had nothing to base them on off of my own logic I guess they just slipped and now I dont know what to believe Im just so lonely, Ive never even met another transsexual in my life (other than the internet)!!! My gender therapist told me that Im the only person she's worked with under 18 for ***** sake! Its lonely as hell, and having indepedent spiritual views are even more lonely, and Im homeschooled so its incredibly lonely I have like no real friends. Any advice on how I can reach inner peace with my irreligious views and unfair views on life and how Im taking my life for granted? more

Voting Question: Can someone take a look at my Common App essay? How can I improve it?

I am planning on only sending this to a New Jersey college or two. Probably TCNJ and Saint Peter's. I don't think my second paragraph is that great though. the topic is: 1)A range of academic interests, personal perspectives, and life experiences adds much to the educational mix. Given your personal background, describe an experience that illustrates what you would bring to the diversity in a college community, or an encounter that demonstrated the importance of diversity to you. -- -- Diversity, the very core of the United States of America, is an important aspect of life. Diversity is respecting and understanding that each individual is unique, and that everyone has their own individual differences. Everyone should strive to be a distinct and unique person, not a doppelganger or a copycat. The United States is a country that thrives upon its ever increasing cultural make up. The people have differences in ethnicity, religion, race, socioeconomic classes, gender, sexual orientation, and/or physical ability. Everyone has their own beliefs and traditions. When different cultures clash, rites and traditions of each group are perceived as barbaric and is cause for wars. If we are not aware of these differences, prejudice grows. I feel that by being diverse ourselves, we can get along better with each other. We should all embrace our heritage and not just shrug it off as ancient. By embracing one’s own culture, one becomes understanding of other cultures and as a result, less prejudice, hate, and cultural clashes occur. Diversity is important everywhere, especially in school. It allows students to have a greater respect for those who have different beliefs or points of views than themselves. School is where many children first meet at an age where they don’t really care about their differences. As children grow, they begin to notice and understand different cultures and being friends with different heritages encourages the exchange of ideas, which overall enriches the student body as a whole. Furthermore, this opens minds to new experiences, which greatly helps students with college in the future. The internet, one of the greatest inventions of man, has greatly helped me understand and learn about different people and cultures. Each and every time I turn on my computer and enter the cyber world, I learn more and more about people. Through the internet, I have access to the vast knowledge people around the world and throughout history have gained. I have the opportunity to interact with people around the world with websites such as Yahoo Answers, Facebook, MySpace, and Formspring. Through those websites, I have gained an understanding of how people react when they cannot be judged in person. With the use of the internet, I am able to be myself without judgment and see others for who they really are. Thanks to the internet, I have been able to interact with a more diverse community, with people who have different views and beliefs, and learn about them while sharing my own views. -- -- it's 415 words long. more

Resolved Question: How complicated is the actual use of HDTVs?

I live in a very rural area and cannot receive over-the-air TV (per tvfool.com) and I can only afford the cheapest basic cable (landlady won't allow dishes). This basic cable DOES have some free HD stations (primarily local network TV). Since I need a new TV anyway I am considering an HDTV. The thing is it just seems like such a hassle--it's not like the “old” days when you could just go and get a TV, plug it in and go; now you have to KNOW things and do plenty of research beforehand. I am not a techie but I understand resolution, size, and frame speed, and such, but the more banal questions regarding every day use of an HDTV elude me and I'm hoping y'all can help me out. Question 1: If I switch from an HD channel immediately to an SD channel, do I have to change the resolution manually each time I switch between an HD and an SD channel or do HDTVs adjust resolution automatically? Question 2: What is the resolution of standard DVDs? I hit the local Red Box regularly and much of my TV-watching is rented DVDs. Will they be displayed properly on an HDTV? Will I have to manually change the setup for viewing DVDs and then back to SD/HD each time? Question 2a: Do I need a new DVD player to display DVDs properly? I also own several old DVDs that I don't plan on replacing with Blu-Ray (yet). These old DVDs work just fine on the old boxy SDTVs with my ancient pre-HDTV DVD player, but do I need a new DVD player capable of displaying them on an HDTV? Ditto VHS. Question 3: If I wanted to stream Netflix to the HDTV, would I need a TV with internet access, or could I just connect my laptop to the TV and stream it from the internet through the pc? Question 4: I've heard that HDCP compliance has caused nightmares for some folks trying to hook their pc up to their HDTV. My laptop is not HDCP compliant (I don't think). Does this mean I cannot view video from my pc (whether Netflix, YouTube, Veoh, other downloads, or even home movies) on the HDTV using an HDMI cable? If, per chance, my pc IS HDCP compliant, could that be a problem viewing video on an HDTV? Question 5: If I CAN watch video from my pc on my HDTV, do I need a TV with 1080 resolution? I'm not a sportsfan or much of a gamer, and don't plan on buying a Blu-Ray setup soon, so I really don't feel compelled to go for 1080 unless viewing from my pc, Netflix, or old DVD player calls for it. My laptop's resolution is 1366x768 so I am concerned that a TV resolution of 720p is not gonna cut it. Might I have to change my laptop's settings to a lower resolution to accommodate the lower resolution of the TV? Question 6: What is the average lifespan of HDTVs? Every review of every make and model I've seen links to several dissatisfied consumers who had their TV fail after only a year or two of use. I realize that's a LOT of technology to fit in a small and (in my case) cheap package so I don't expect it to last as long as my old CRTs did (I still have a tiny SHARP TV from 1984 that works—but has no 'modern' hookups). Is it reasonable to expect a short enough life expectancy to warrant an extended warranty? I think that's it. My sister had a new HDTV for all of two days. She found both DVD playback and SD reception to be very blurry. She also couldn't get her pc to connect to the TV. If those are inherent problems with HD technology, I think I might just try and find an old SD TV and make do. Thanks! more

Resolved Question: Is there a personality disorder where an individual is focused on one particular person and is never satisfied?

IE: former co-worker interferes with a person's marriage but sending him a letter and when she is able to win over the husband, she continues to follow-up on the individual she targeted in a stalking kind of way. Questions a good therapist should explore in self-reporting before answering this question: How did someone “interfere” with your marriage, and why? What was in the letter? How did your husband respond to the letter? It is revealing that you use the idea of “won over.” This could indicate a person whose life-view is a “zero-sum game” – everyone and everything is either “won” or “lost” – no in-between, which is not life and people. Is that your approach to life? If someone or something was “won,” are you then the “loser?” Is that perhaps why you are seeking ammunition? What shape was your marriage in if your husband was so easily “won over” by a letter? You reveal much about yourself in your question. You give your husband no credit for being an autonomous human being with a mind, feelings and free will of his own. You trivialize him by portraying him as so easily “won over” by a letter. Is that how you regard him? Is that what he lived in his marriage to you? What did you do to keep your husband and marriage in response to this person and the letter? Was your husband “won over” or was there really a reason for him to divorce you? What reason did your husband give you for divorcing you? Are you really entirely innocent? Why would this person target and stalk you – YOU? Describe both of you: appearance, education, career, lifestyle, accomplishments, etc… What do you mean by “follow up?” Can you be specific? Why do you feel you are being targeted? What has the individual done to “target” you? What activities? How has the individual “stalked” you? Can you be specific? What activities? Have you called the police if you are being “stalked?” Why would a stalker whose goal is to have your husband continue to stalk YOU after she “won him over?” Have you sought professional help for your situation, or just cyberspace? Is the fact that your communication about this is ONE-WAY – unknown, without verification and no dialogue - a type of “control of information?” Are you really seeking (undeserved) support anonymously in cyberspace for your wounded ego and your version of events? It is also a form of control and manipulation to accuse – or threaten to accuse – a possible informant of the things you have; the “perpetrator-crying-victim” game. There is a “character disorder” in which the afflicted individual seeks to “character-assassinate” others when perceiving being wounded; ultra-competitive, below-the-belt, deceitful, manipulative, Machiavellian and hates to lose. Does this apply to you? What is the individual’s “focus” on YOU exactly? About what – can you be specific? What activities? When do you think the individual would be finally “satisfied?” What do you think is his/her goal? What has the individual not gotten that he/she ultimately wants – to be “satisfied?” What other things has the individual done “to” you that did not yet satisfy him/her? It is interesting that you use the term “personality disorder” – where did you get the term? Are you really “asking,” “projecting” – or seeking support and the appearance of legitimacy for what you have already decided? Obviously you have done some research if you use the term “personality disorder.” Why have you then not found the answer to this question in your research? Has this term actually been applied to YOU? Is it perhaps that you are just a “sore loser” and are looking to discredit or defame the “winner?” Sour grapes? You really must be honest with yourself and others if you truly desire legitimate help and change. Seeking support on the internet from strangers for what you wish instead of what is really the case solves nothing for you. Why are you not asking about pathological lying instead of worrying about everyone else? more

Resolved Question: What would you bring if you had to go to a desert island?

Now for some weird reason, you have to go to a deserted island. Let's say zombies are taking over the earth. Or aliens are taking over the world. Or even machine. Or maybe you just wanted some peace and quiet. The only place you will be safe or can go is to a desert island. What would you bring and whom? Now remember this, you only have so much space on the boat that takes you there. That you can only bring a limited amount of items. Cause the people you bring also have there own items.
