There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation
maybe we’re getting obsolete and mundane like dinosaurs. is it time for a new generation of intelligence to emerge? the best we, as a whole, seem to be able to contribute is a bunch of new dipshits anyway.
It’s 5:00 and you’re headed home. Very likely, in traffic. And if you’re like me, you’re thinking about what you want for dinner. But you really don’t want to go out to eat again - it’s not healthy, it’s expensive, and homemade food is so much tastier. But… you’re tired…

ENGLISH…..I think the problem is that people ae getting more and more lame and have no original thoughts or creative potential they are really shallow and no substance like they are just waiting for the next IPOD phone to come out so they could call their lame friends to talk about some stupid movie where some girl gets her throat slashed by a psycho……how original is THAT!!!!?
You have to be one sick puppy(no pun intended) to inflict some of this harm.
I realize that we need to eat, I love a good ribeye, but there is a line to be crossed sometimes.
I know that I would turn the other fist if somebody treated my kitties and turtles in these manners.
Farm animals ARE domesticated animals!
I am a small farmer, on a permaculture farm. All of my livestock are raised on pastures and live in herds or flocks, just as nature intended. When people think of farms, and how livestock should live, that is how my animals live. Lovely green pastures, shelters, pond, trees, ect.
My husband and I started to raise our own livestock for two reasons. First we pride ourselves on being independent, and doing things for ourselves. Second, we hate the way factory farmed animals are treated, raised, and the drugs pumped into them.
All of that said, I don’t think we need more laws! Major agrabusinesses have a LOT of money and clout. What starts off as a good law to try and prevent this, is twisted, and actually ends up harming the small farmer who DOES raise their livestock humanely and ethically.
Instead consumers need to buy their food from the small farmers like myself who do raise ethically. Let your money speak….don’t try to have more laws passed!
Also, I’m not in favor of supporting the farm animal rescue places. I don’t think people should be taking their children to the farm rescue places, and donating money to them. Instead they should be teaching their children from the time they are babes in arms about why, and where they buy food. They SHOULD take their children to farms which raise animals ethically, and teach them how to pick out a nice healthy lamb, and explain that the lamb is going to be butchered and put in their freezer for them to eat. Children SHOULD know where their food comes from!
If everyone purchased from small farmers like myself, the animal abuse at factory farms would be a thing of the past.
i agree w/ you. i happen to be a vegetarian and a strong advocate of animal rights. i am smart enough to see both sides though…people can eat it if they want…but should NEVER under ANY circumstance abuse any animal. its pathetic.

i know we all enjoy having it…..but do you think the world would be better off if it had never been created?
I mean taking away everything. No trades…..nothing…
.Just being able to go into a place and grab everything you needed…….wouldn’t that be better than the profound poverty we see today?
being able to “grab” whatever you needed would never work. You are right when you say people would take it for granted. Check out some jungle societies. Everyone works for something needed in the community. Girls gather fruits, veggies, herbs and berries for medicines, rope and leaves for making baskets. The mothers take care of children and cook. The elderly are the doctors and the men hunt for food and build structures as needed. The basics of survival may seem so primitive but when you see what all this MONEY has done to folks, dont you wish for a simpler time?
I’m sorry for what you’ve had to go through, but, no, not all guys are jerks
Perhaps you need to meet some males worthy of your attention. We’re not all that way.
I agree that not ALL men are jerks, but it seems like all the men you have met are. You need a change of scenery girl. Get out of that hell you call “home” and you may start to meet some decent people (even guys)
You have a very common life.Know that your story isnt very different than than the next woman.What i say is if you always look where you always look you will always get what you get.Try newer surroundings.And good luck!
You tell me what makes all men in your life like this. if you can’t change them for better don’t let them change you. have a faith and try to make your life better always.
believe it or not there are some fantastic men out there, you just have to know where to look. nobody can make excuses for what has happened to you, and none of it is your fault. your brother is probably harbouring some issues though, regarding the father and step father situation, as you probably know, your father and step father would have been the role models for your brothers behaviour. this doesnt make it right though. maybe you should talk to him, him may not even know he is the way he is. you also need to talk to someone (ie a psychotherapist) about what has happened to you, if you havent already, they will help you deal with what happened as well as give you some more self confidence. as for the boys at your school, all boys are like that, and maybe making friends with some girls wouldnt be a bad idea, but be choosy, as you will probably confide in them your deepest darkest secrets. as for the guy who told you to go away, it could be that he had more on his mind thatn you know about, and he is finding it hard to deal with his problems as well as yours (he could have been a bit nicer though). you never know, he might have been the nice guy you are looking for and may care about you a hell of a lot, which then it would hurt him to see you in so much pain.
sorry about the long winded reply, but i hope i helped.
hang in there.youve just had one hell of a life so far.were not all assholes.i wish the best for you because more than likely your going to or probably already do have major trust issues when it is going to involve us.i wish i could of been the most recent friend of yours because what i need more than anything right now is a female friend.not trying to get a laugh from the guys.lifes a strange place.it’ll be alright.it’ll all work out.
Really, not all of them are jerks, but the majority are. Don’t worry you are 17 you will meet a lot of good guys. May be you need to try some time to avoid friendship with men. See what will happen, may be you need to take your time.
After reading your post…
I’m sorry that you had to go through all that…
Try joining a “support”-group, as in just a group of people coming together having some fun.
I’m a Christian youth leader, and we have a youth programme.
I’m sure you could probably find something somewhere that would fit you.
By the way. I believe everything happens for a reason. Keep your chin up. Stay positive.
If you get through this, you will be an ambassador for women who have the same problems. And perhaps you can even help them. Let that motivate you.
But first. Help yourself. You are strong. You CAN get through this.
U have gone through some big difficulties! All I can say is ur plain unlucky regards to males. Hope you find a nice person soon.

Usually if I dream that I am running it is because I have a problem that is bothering me. I’d say things have settled down for you and going smoothly. I hope I am right for you.
I really don’t know. But I don’t like pit-bull…..
It may been you’ve decided to face whatever problems you have and deal with them, rather than run away from them. I think this is a very positive dream for you.
Stop handling dogs to avoid dreams about being bitten!
You are coming to grips with a situation in your life. You have avoided for too long. You have run away from the situation, not wishing to face it, for fear of failure/defeat. You have come to a place in your life where you have the confidence and intelligence to solve the problem.
What you are talking about is called lucid dreaming. I think, with practice, it is possible. Ever seen the movie Waking Life? After watching that, I was obsessed with lucid dreaming for a while. It’s difficult though, and I’m not sure it makes for the most restful sleep. But, in your case, I guess it’s better than nightmares.
According to Karl Marx, “ Religion is the opiate of the masses”. Religion has been defined variously. Some are formalistic and doctrinal in nature while others are emotive, intuitive, experiential, and ethical. Religion plays an important role in our daily lives and attitudes. It imparts moral guidance, emotional stability, and valuable serenity in today’s chaotic and unpredictable world. It helps us to be centered and grounded. This is the positive aspect of religion.
Religion can also be detrimental if it is used to cover up the underlying issues of anger, shame, and authority. “Hyper-religiosity” amounts to addiction and this may be a latent psychiatric disorder, such as depression. They become addicted to their faith and may turn fanatics. So, religion should be followed judiciously so that it becomes a boon and not a bane.
