I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps, and, uh, I believe that our education ( Read more... )

Why are stupid people allowed to set the social agenda? Why does the court care what Hak-Shing William Tam has to say about same sex marriage? He is no "authority" and he cannot even back up his claims. He says that gays are pedophiles and bases this on the "literature" he has read.

I am really longing for my little bro. I want him to be with me right now.

I never thought I'd hate my life as much as I do right now. Yes, I have been depressed in the past, but nothing like this. I guess I never knew what depression really was. Until now. I really don't know what to do. I thought I was a strong person, that I'd learned how to handle the ups and downs, but I have never experienced anything like this. I ( Read more... )
