But I've been working full-time as an accountant for about a year and a half in The Bahamas. I went to school up until 10th grade in The Bahamas, and finished the rest of my schooling as home-schooled. Should I get a letter of recommendation from the company?

Resolved Question: Advice on how to let him know how sorry I am and get past this.?

My husband and I met in our junior year of high school and dated all through college. We had both decide to wait tell marriage to have sex. Well at least that was the original plan and I totally agreed. But my friends kept telling me that I should have sex with at least one other person to prevent me from wondering my whole life about being with someone besides my husband. Also they pointed out that losing my virginity on my wedding night could really ruin the mood with the pain and blood the first time. That I might even have to wait a few days after the first night to have sex again. Which would really put a damper on the honeymoon mood. At the time it all made sense and sounded like smart idea. But hind sight is 20/20 and dummy me I went ahead and had sex with a old friend that had always wanted to with me. I knew it would be safe since he was already married and it would be just a one time thing we both agreed and he made me promise to never tell his wife. Like I would no way and told him the same went for him. Since he never used condoms with his wife we didnt have any to use and figured I was safe time of the month. I was wrong so know find myself pregeant on top of everything else. Ok if all this was not bad enough my new husband found out about this somehow at our reception after the wedding. He didn't even mention it again tell we were at the hotel in the bahamas. I knew something wasn't right after the reception and flight to bahamas but thought he was just tired. When he confronted me I told him the truth and used the logic that had convinced me that it was a good idea. That had done it really for the two of us so that our honeymoon wouldn't be messed up with me being a virgin that first night and possibly not being able to have sex for a few days because of the first time pain. Well as can guess that didn't go over very well. We spent the two weeks in the bahamas and you can guess was about the worst two weeks of my life. Our talking amounted to more of what going to do that day to pass the time and none of that involved any sort of physical contact and definetly no sex. It wasn't tell missed my period the last few days of our honeymoon it should have started or shortly after got back that found out was pregenant. My husband has moved into the house that his grandparents gave us for wedding gift. I still am staying at my apartment for the moment. He says that we will work through this and that I am not to abort the baby since its not the babies fault. But he does not seem sincere in the working through it. He is very anti abortion and says that if I were to abort the baby that would be the last straw. So think he is really just trying to work through this for the baby even though it is definetly not his. One of my friends says that should just take one of those morning after pills that this early it will just cause me to miscarry the baby and my husband would just think I lost it. I am so confused right now I love him so much and really did do this for him, well not the get pregenant part. more

Resolved Question: Should I continue to deceive her.?

This is suppose to be the best time in my life. Just got married about 3 weeks ago and had just returned from honeymoon about a week ago. But that is not what has or is occurring. We are both in our early 20s and had dated since high school and through college. Though we had dated that long we both wanted to wait tell marriage for sex. Well at least that is what I thought and was true tell about a few weeks before our wedding. What have come to find out is that my wife's, so called Friends, convinced her that being a virgin on our wedding night would just make it uncomfortable. They suggested that she lose her virginity so that all the pain/discomfort of losing it would not be there for the beginning of our honey moon and thus she could have more enjoyment. She agreed and had sex a old friend, as she has put it was just sex and nothing more. Well it was more because I found out about this right after the wedding at reception by overhearing a couple people talking. I asked my new wife and she broke down and told me the entire truth that night when we arrived in the bahamas for our honeymoon. Well lets just say that pretty much ruined our honeymoon we stayed for two weeks since had already paid for it and took the time off. Did not sleep in the same bed the entire time on our honeymoon. To add more to the problem she had missed her period about week which should have started about the last few days of our trip or shortly after we returned. She did home pregnancy test and found that she is pregnant. Well unless some divine thing occur ed it is impossible for me to be the father since we still have not consummated the marriage. Since our return she has not moved out of her apartment into the house my grandparents gave us as a wedding gift. I have told her that just need time and counseling to get past this. In reality I just can't see get past it and would have already filed for a divorce but she is saying that will abort the child. Which I am totally against abortion and that's when told her that we will get through this. That its not the child's fault and we can over come it. Its not true but do not want to see her kill a baby. So have been planning on starting counseling with her and wait tell she is far enough along or has the baby and then file for divorce. more

Resolved Question: What can I do about my dad?

I'm 20 years old, I'm a college student and i live in the Bahamas. I like to go out but i tend not to make it a habit. I do this out of respect for my parents because i live at home and for the sake of my school work. My father is really strict, like super strict, and sometimes he really treats me like a child. In the Bahamas it isn't normal for someone to leave home before finishing college, actually some people stay in their parents' house for as long as they could (I am not interested in this).. but I know that someone will answer that i should move out but i want you to understand it isn't that easy. Rent here is really only paid by a fulltime job, and i am still a student and i want to finish my program . So I am not asking anyone to tell me to get my own place because as of right now this is out of the question. What i am asking, is if there are any techniques or tips that i can use to get my father to let go a little and stop being so overbearing, it's really stressing me out. Like i said I'm 20 years old, none of my friends have to get into an argument every time they want to go out..so what do i do? more

Resolved Question: Can someone tell me what they think of my college admission essay?

If you have any suggestion please feel free to tell me. Over the past few decades, people have drastically changed the way they choose their career. Times have changed a great deal, and people no longer feel forced into a certain profession. People are now given endless choices and possibilities, and it is up to them to decide what they want to do the rest of their lives. When facing these important decisions, it is very easy to become confused. Fortunately, for myself, I found this decision to be a very easy one. I come from a family of teachers. Therefore, it did not take long to decide that teaching was the career choice for me. After deciding on the education field, I then felt the need to choose a major. I chose high school mathematics because I felt it would allow me to teach a subject that many students of today’s time don’t really grasp as well as other subjects. I have always had a love for knowledge, and for children. I feel that the children of today truly are the future of tomorrow and the creators of what is to come. Children are all too often over looked in today’s society. It is my belief that it is part of a teacher’s job to help children learn how to express their opinions not only in the classroom, but in the real world as well. While attending the College of the Bahamas, I intend to obtain my bachelor’ of education in secondary certification, learn more behavior strategies to improve my classroom management and to continue to embrace cultural diversity. After accomplishing these goals there are many other plans that I plan to live up to. My main goal as High School teacher would be to reach out to as many students as I can. I know that Mathematics can be a difficult subject for some students but when I teach my aim is to show them that they can love learning. I believe that when a child has elevated from a D to a C or B student I can say that I have accomplished my goal. I chose the College of the Bahamas because of many reasons but mainly because it is a chance and opportunity for higher learning, it is close to home and I think that if someone is to be successful in their life they must start at home and then go abroad. more

Resolved Question: Why are silly scroungers looking for handouts this recession when my partner and i have always paid our way?

How come me and my boyfriend are suffering this recession. I'm a 26yr old female. I've just been made redundant and i'm totally fed up. I've always done the right thing. I see other silly woman having children at my age and never having a career or going to uni and they seem to get everything from the government. All through uni i worked and i SAVED that money from a well paid part time job in my uncles supermarket where in the space of 2 months and at 19, i worked my way to managment level (i was part time and in uni at this stage). I got bonuses from him, and i got paid £ 14 per hour coz i was good at my job and drove people and was his 'ear on the ground'. I SAVED every penny and with help from my parents was able to put a downpayment on a small 2 bed apartment around the corner from them and my partner. I saved, Yes SAVED £ 10K toward my down payment WHILE AT COLLEGE.I dont drink, i dont smoke and i dont engage in relations with my partner before marriage. Marriage is special and we are now having a small intimate wedding next new years in a restaurant belonging to friends of my parents. We are not being flash, and now the owner has said as my partner and i are such hard workers and to make up for me losing my job, Hes going to cover 50% of the food bill for my 15 guests. YES 15 close family and friends...not a flash do. I'm wearing a cousins wedding dress. I'm holidaying in the UK in a friends holiday home in Cornwall...not going to the BAHAMAS or something crazy. My partner has now taken a second job as a lifeguard in the evenings in a local swimming pool, he knows the owner of the hotel, so is getting paid a cool £ 15 per hour. Hes working 3 hours every evening. We are going to SAVE this money. We own nothing on our two little cars, yes LITTLE cars. They are all paid for, with a little help from my parents. Now, to my horror i've discovered there are people in my apt block who are having their apts paid by the government. Is that what MY tax has gone toward? i'm lucky i have 2 yrs salary in my account and my partner has also. But why are others not so sensible and then look for handouts? more

Resolved Question: Non-student spring break travel destinations?

My boyfriend and I would like to go somewhere tropical and beachy for spring break trip. However, we're both 27 and want nothing to do with the "average college spring break." We want to go somewhere to relax, lounge on the beach, maybe see some sights, etc. All the normal stuff you'd do on a beach vacation, just without the psychotic spring-breakers. Any ideas where we should go? The places that are most feasible (financially, at least) are probably Mexico, Bahamas, and Caribbean. I'm just not sure of specific destinations within those countries/regions. more

Resolved Question: any fund raising tips? Please? I need money quickly for travel.?

So for my college I was randomly selected to go on a service trip to the Bahamas this winter because of my application for the program. Thing is, I signed up for a spring break program because I knew it would give me more time to get money. AND this trip to my bahamas is 1,300!!!!!! I don't have that!

Resolved Question: Here is a good tough question for me traveling alone.?

Hello,I am a 19 year old male single looking to get away from all this frustration on choosing the right college.I just want to have fun BY MYSELF.I want to get out in the world and escape the hectic United States New Yorker lifestyle for a week.So my question is can anyone help me find a good ALL INCLUSIVE(food,some entertainment and place to stay(cruise ships count as a place)) and round trip vacation to any of these locations: Bahamas Bermuda United Kingdom Spain Italy Germany or the Caribbean. For prices ranging between $600-$900 USD. In the Months of November 2009,March,April or May 2010. Departing round trip by flight or cruise out of anywhere in NY. Seems like a hard match but I think its possible with all the deals going on.A cruise seems more likely because of the all inclusiveness with meals and interior rooms but air fare is getting cheap so maybe there are some good plans for that.Thanks for any responses. more

Resolved Question: Is my wife right? (Part time Job + Full Time Job)?

So recently my wife and I have been thinking about going on vacation for our anniversary in 3 months. She and I have been looking at the Bahamas, Jamaica, and other sunny Caribbean locales. I only make enough money to pay the mortgage, HOA, Insurance, and some of the other necessary bills. I therefore don't have a lot of disposable income. My wife knows this, and when she brought up the vacation and various costs associated and using phrases like, "we'll save $XXX if we buy now" I assumed she was offering to pay for it. She makes about 85% of what I make and so I figured she could afford it. Therefore, I kept looking and helped her find deals. Then when it came time to pay for the trip, she takes her check card and types in half the amount, then she looks at me and says, "okay now you pay your half ($450)". I told I didn't have it, and wouldn't anytime soon. Then she tells me that, "a real man would go out and get a part time job to pay for the whole thing" and "you're just lazy like soooo many other Americans, you people don't make sacrifices." (BTW- my wife is East European and we've been married over 5 years) I already work 50 hours a week, and we have a toddler. I spend about 5 hours a week at the gym, and 5 hours a week with my friends. The rest of the time I am with either my wife or our daughter, or both. She insists that everything is my fault because I'm lazy and refuse to get an extra job to pay for vacations, a nicer car, or finishing my master's degree. Honestly, I don't know what to do. Should I get a part time job and never see my wife and daughter? (I'd be working nights and weekends of course, cause I have a 9-5) If I should get a part time job, can you guys give me some ideas or leads.

Resolved Question: Ten items for this novel?

I'm doing a project on the novel A Salty Peice of Land by Jimmy Buffett, and I need ten items for a project that describe the novel, it's kinda hard :/ Here's a summary of the novel. A Salty Piece of Land brings back the character of Tully Mars from Jimmy Buffett's previous novel, Tales from Margaritaville. Tully is a Wyoming cowboy on the lam. The ranch where he lives and works has been converted to a poodle ranch run by a universally hated woman by the name of Thelma Barston. After Tully throws a massage table through her plate glass window, she uses her political connections to trump up charges and have a warrant issued for his arrest. Tully takes his faithful steed, Mr. Twain, and decides he wants to see the ocean. With bounty hunters on his trail, this begins a series of adventures for him that will take him to the Alabama coast, Key West, Mexico, Belize, Cuba, and the Bahamas. Tully is a kind soul, hard worker, and a quick learner. He befriends a shrimp boat captain named Captain Kirk who teaches him his first lessons about the ways of the sea and transports him and Mr. Twain to a remote part of the Yucatan peninsula called Punta Margarita. He also meets and begins a budding friendship with a musician/treasure hunter/pilot named Willie Singer. Tully lands a job as a fly-fishing guide at the Lost Boys fishing camp in Punta Margarita. It's run by a man named Bucky Norman who leases the land from the manager of a country western singer named Tex Sex. The other fly-fishing guide is a Mayan shaman, Ix-Nay. In the remote outpost of Punta Margarita, Tully feels like he can leave his past behind and try to figure out where his new life will lead him. On a trip to the Mayan ruins at Tulum, he's stranded when he totals a Jeep. While waking a from a ganja-induced dream on the beach there, he sees a beautiful schooner coming into the bay. Its captain is 101-year old Cleopatra Highbourne, and she's on a mission to find a fresnel lens for a lighthouse she wants to refurbish on the Bahamian island of Cayo Loco, the salty piece of land of the book's title. It's an endeavor that will eventually involve Tully and his friends, but first he must make a trip to Belize to find a Land Rover to replace the Jeep. A man on the run from the law with a fake passport and bounty hunters in pursuit must be careful. Which is how Tully ended up in the middle of a wild spring break party with a couple hot college girls. That's a quick outline to the plot, although the plot is not that important. It serves as the vehicle to further the adventures of Tully and his new-found friends. Some of the chapters in this novel are letters from Willie Singer as he searches for a fresnel lens while island hopping his way across the south Pacific in a seaplane. Each adventure is just plain fun as Tully finds out what's important to his life, and that answer is invariably a sense of ethics, a lot of fun, and good friends you can count on anytime. It helps that a lot of these friends are very wealthy and can come to the rescue at the drop of a hat. Tully continues to find like-minded people, often making instant connections as if they share the same karma. Karma and mysticism play a recurring role in A Salty Piece of Land, from his father's friend and Indian medicine man, Johnny Red Dust, to Ix-Nay the Mayan shaman, to an odd religion on a forgotten South Sea island. A Salty Piece of Land is a fun ride through Jimmy Buffett's idea of paradise, and you get the sense it's a place he's visited often. Many of his own loves, flying, sailing, and fishing, are featured prominently in the novel. It's a world where drink, ganja, and fun are pleasant additions if not done to excess. It's also a place where the dark forces of greed, corpocracy, and pollution threaten paradise. A disdain for tourists and resorts and an affection for indigenous people who've learned to live off the land runs strong through the novel. Even Cuban baseball, played for pride instead of greedy contracts, plays a role. This is not a literary novel and A Salty Piece of Land has no pretensions that it is. There will undoubtedly be those readers put off by its lack of any real drama or suspense. At times it's predictable, but it's a comforting predictability at that. You know the good guys will win, the friends will be there in the time of need, and all surprises will eventually be pleasant ones. That doesn't distract from the enjoyment of the novel, but adds to it instead. Jimmy Buffett's prose easily transports the reader to the different settings in his paradise. I don't fish, I've never sailed a schooner across the Caribbean, or flown a plane. By the end of this novel, I wanted to do all three. Therein lies the charm of this book: its easy access to warmth and beauty of many types teehee...anyways, i already have a Jimmy Buffett shirt because he wrote the novel and a poodle because Tully gets transferred to a poodle ranch, I'd LOVE some help! Thanks:) ~Miss more

Resolved Question: My father refuses to pay for my college education?

My father refuses to pay for my college education? Throughout elementary - high school I dealt with many learning disabilities & an ongoing depression that made school hard for me so I considered giving up. My father promised me all throughout middle & high school that he would pay for my college once I got there. After my parents got divorced, my father got re-married. My depression came back again. My father's attitude towards me changed & he became more and more spiteful. Him and his wife bought a million dollar house together mean while my mother filed for bankruptcy and is struggling to pay for my school. My father's wife told me to get a job & go on student loan & convinced my father to no longer pay child support, so the payments stopped. Now I do have a job, but I only work about 4 hours per week because I just cannot focus on school and a job at the same time. what hurts me most is the fact that my father called me yesterday to tell me that he just cam back from a week vacay to to Bahamas... so in other words, while me and my mother are struggling to pay for my school, he's chill axing on a resort. Yeah I think I originally had a question, but now it's lost somewhere in my rant. Sorry guys. *Before you all start accusing me of being a brat and feeling sorry for myself, Let me explain that I am trying to do my best at school & my mother supports me all the way. The problem is that my father never really believed that I would do well this is why he is refusing to pay for my college. I'm a special needs student & I found that working more than those hours a week really took away from my school. Lastly, I'm 18 and my father was ordered to pay child support up until I turn 23. Thanks in advance! more

Resolved Question: Do you Christians like to laugh at jokes about the church?

You Never Hear in Church Hey! It's MY turn to sit on the front pew! I was so enthralled, I never noticed your sermon went over time 25 minutes. Personally, I find witnessing much more enjoyable than golf. I've decided to give our church the $500.00 a month I used to send to TV evangelists. I volunteer to be the permanent teacher for the Junior High Sunday School class. Forget the denominational minimum salary: let's pay our pastor so she/he can live like we do. I love it when we sing hymns I've never heard before! Since we're all here, let's start the worship service early! Pastor, we'd like to send you to this Bible seminar in the Bahamas. -- The Oil Find Two old friends met one day after many years. One attended college, and now was very successful. The other had not attended college and never had much ambition. The successful one said, "How has everything been going with you?" "Well, one day I opened the Bible at random, and dropped my finger on a word and it was oil. So, I invested in oil, and boy, did the oil wells gush. Then another day I dropped my finger on another word and it was gold. So, I invested in gold and those mines really produced. Now, I'm as rich as Rockefeller." The successful friend was so impressed that he rushed to his hotel, grabbed a Gideon Bible, flipped it open, and dropped his finger on a page. He opened his eyes and his finger rested on the words, "Chapter Eleven." -- The Christian Barber There was a barber that thought that he should share his faith with his customers more than he had been doing lately. So the next morning when the sun came up and the barber got up out of bed he said, "Today I am going to witness to the first man that walks through my door." Soon after he opened his shop the first man came in and said, "I want a shave!" The barber said, "Sure, just sit in the seat and I'll be with you in a moment." The barber went in the back and prayed a quick desperate prayer saying, "God, the first customer came in and I'm going to witness to him. So give me the wisdom to know just the right thing to say to him. Amen." Then quickly the barber came out with his razor knife in one hand and a Bible in the other while saying "Good morning sir. I have a question for you... Are you ready to die?" -- The Children of Israel Mr. Goldblatt," announced little Joey, "there's somethin' I can't figger out." "What's that Joey?" asked Goldblatt. "Well accordin' to the Bible, the Children of Israel crossed the Red Sea, right?" "Right." "An' the Children of Israel beat up the Phillistines, right?" "Er--right." "An' the Children of Israel built the Temple, right?" "Again you're right." "An' the Children of Israel fought the 'gyptians, an' the Children of Israel fought the Romans, an' the Children of Israel wuz always doin' somethin' important, right?" "All that is right, too," agreed Goldblatt. "So what's your question?" "What I wanna know is this," demanded Joey. "What wuz all the grown-ups doin?" -- The Greek Priest A Greek priest is driving down to New York to see a show, and he's stopped in Connecticut for speeding. The state trooper smells alcohol on his breath, sees an empty wine bottle on the floor, and asks, "Sir, have you been drinking?" The minister replies, "Just water." The trooper asks, "Then, why do I smell wine?" The minister looks down at the bottle and exclaims, "Good Lord, He's done it again!" -- The Three Wise Women You do know what would have happened if it had been three wise WOMEN instead of men, don't you? They would have asked for directions, arrived on time, helped deliver the baby, cleaned the stable, made a casserole, and brought disposable diapers as gifts! more

Resolved Question: Why the bigotry against Black countries?

So, a college boy once told me that "there is no such thing as a successful Black country!" I then went and investigated, and found some interesting facts: 1. Barbados: per capita income is $19,026; life expectancy is 73.94 years at birth; Human Development Index last placed it at 31/177, and the literacy rate is 99.7% 2. The Bahamas: per capita income is $27, 394; life expectancy is 69 years, literacy rate is 95.8% and the Human Development Index places it at #49 (high) 3. Botswana has had a growth rate that has eclipsed that of the "Asian tigers," and despite having a high HIV-infection rate, has made great strides with preventative methods and anti-retroviral drugs; in addition, education is well funded and the per-capita income is $14,882, rather high for Sub-Saharan Africa. 4. Mauritius has a life expectancy of 70.98 years at birth and the literacy rate has grown to 82.9%. Not all Black countries are like Somalia or Haiti, many are doing well and improve each year. Remember, Ireland, Sweden, Portugal and Spain were once poor countries as well. more

Voting Question: What to do with a mom who just doesn't get it?

My mom and I have never been close. Ever since I was a teenager, I've complained to her that she makes poor choices in regards to her parenting. My mom remarried when I was 13 and she would frequently leave me home alone for a weekend or a week and leave town w/ my step-dad. My step-dad and I didn't get along and at 16, she suggested I move in w/ a friend's family. At 20, she announced she was retiring at age 50 and moving to Florida, leaving me mid-semester in college w/ no health insurance, no family in town, and limited financial support. Since my mom has moved to Florida, our relationship has become even worse. Within the last year my husband lost his job and since then, we've sold our house and have tried to sell anything of value we can. We move in a few weeks and I called my mom up looking for help. Normally my husband's family would help us but they will be in Europe for 3 weeks for their 40th wedding anniversary (they've been planning this trip for years now). My husband and I are both working full time (he's not working in his field so we're still tight on money). When I told all this to my mom I expected her to say yes. This is the first time I've ever asked her for help and I thought because I said, "we're desperate, I really need you" she would come. I was wrong. My mom told me they already had plans during that time and that she and her husband we're hoping to sail to the Bahamas with their friends during that time frame. I was devastated. I didn't know what to say other than I didn't know what we were going to do. She suggested we hire movers, and I reminded her the reason we were moving in the first place was because we don't have as much money as we used to. My mother is the only family I have. I have no siblings or grandparents and my father passed away when I was a teenager. Talking with my mother at times makes me feel so alone and terrible. At times I often think about just cutting her out of my life completely. The worst part is is that my mom just doesn't get it. I've often told my mom and stepfather that they're selfish/inconsiderate parents but it falls on deaf ears. I just come across looking spoiled to them. Has anyone cut their parent out of their lives? My mom is not abusive, but dealing with her at times I feel so terrible and no matter what I do, she doesn't want to admit that her actions are really destructive to our relationship. more

Resolved Question: Best Vacationing Spot?

Resolved Question: Tropical or UK Vacation?

I'm planning my college graduation gift to myself right now and I am trying to decide what I should do. I am either thinking of an all-inclusive tropical resort (ie. Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica), OR, a UK trip to check out England, Scotland, and Ireland. For the UK trip the cons that set me off are: it would be with a tour company that apparently is very "student oriented" - and many of the students are there to party. I'm there to see the sights. For the Tropical trip - I recently did Mexico a couple of months ago, and I absolutely LOVED it, but I would hate to have high expectations for another tropical trip and be let down. I would be doing this trip with my sister, and both of us are not extreme partiers (we do enjoy the odd night out with drinks to get silly every now and then, but we're not your beer bong, hooking up, puking type of girls.) So what does everyone think? I'm just looking for suggestions right now. Thanks! more

Resolved Question: A kid shows up to my door with a weird story; is this a scam? If so, what kind?

So, today I'm home with my boyfriend and our (large male) friend who is visiting from out of state. Someone knocks on the door and I get up and answer it. It's a kid (probably 17-20, he could be older, but that's how old he looks). I assumed he was looking for one of the neighbor kids who live in another apartment in the house. But, no... He says, "Hey man." Then seems to realize I'm a woman and says, "Are you the woman of the house?" I don't like to answer questions (must be living in the NYC area all those years), so I say, "How can I help you?" He says, "I'm doing a thing for my youth club...we're trying to beat the girls and go to the Bahamas...has anyone else come here already?" (no, no one has...) Then, he starts talking just a bit too fast. He says, "Oh, here is a card so you don't think I'm crazy... I'm only half Mexican, don't worry!!! hahahahaha." I didn't appreciate his ethnic comment, as if his being Mexican had anything to do with ANYTHING. He hands me a little laminated card that really didn't make any sense to me. It said something like "This certifies that the enrollee is entitled to 2,000 dollars...etc, lots of legal mumbo jumbo, like a credit card contract..." again, no sense to me, given the situation. I keep trying to read the card, and he starts asking me questions. "Where are you from?" I give him the name of the town we are in, and ask him where he's from. He tells me the name of a nearby large city. Then he asks me if I rented the house last year. I told him no. I wasn't really speaking much, more or less waiting for him to get to the point. Then he says, "Do you have an inspiring job?? You are supposed to inspire me." And I say, "No... I don't really." And he presses, "You don't have an inspiring job?" "No, I don't. It's a pretty crappy job. That's what I get for going to college for a useless subject." Then he says, "are you telling me not to go to college???" And I say, "Well, no... I'm not telling YOU not to go to college. I'm just saying I should have gone to college for something els-" And he snatches his card, which still isn't making sense. And says, "Okay, thanks, have a good day, bye." He snatched his card, just as my boyfriend and the large male friend decide to go see who I'm talking to and appear in the doorway. Overall, the kid made me uncomfortable. He talked fast, and none of it made sense. I don't remember details... he didn't give an organization name, and he didn't ask for money or try to sell me something. There was something "wrong" about it, which is still bothering me now. Was this a scam? What kind? Will he come back? more

Resolved Question: What's wrong with me?

Well I guess the title can be a little bit misleading, but ever since I lived in Japan I changed. Now, I'm not saying that it was Japan that changed me but something turned over. I started viewing the world differently. Things that people believed, I thought of it from a different perspective and I started to see how ludicrous it was. Be it Religion, Laws, School, EVERYTHING. Let me give you some background first, Im considered a genius (yes, I know, everyone is now days) I was tested by a professor, at the request of my school and I rates 2 points over a genius. This may have, or not, contributed to my problem. Ok, back to the present. They way I see it, there is no such thing as countries, states, counties, etc. There is only animals and earth, nothing else. So I will start with laws. The way i see it, NO Human being has ANY right to say what another human can do. First, I know that Murder is probably the first thing that pops up in your head, however, if someone really wants to kill someone, they will do it anyways. People do not fear jail, that is painfully obvious. Onto drug laws, Yet again, I believe, no matter how bad a drug may be for someone, that no human has any right to say what another human may or may not consume. Its just not within their natural boundaries. If someone wants to do a drug, they will do it, regardless if it is 'illegal' or not. Its an uphill battle on a wet, slippery slope. Now, Education in messed up, it always has been. Ever since I got to high school, I lost complete interest in school. I stopped learning, reading out of a textbook is not learning, it is copying and reciting. Think parrot. Also, I strongly believe that it is impossible to decrease all facets of Intelligence down to a single letter, or a number. Its just Impossible. Example: according to my high school, I am Stupid. My GPA is around the 1 range. I have shot down all hopes to a college straight out of high school. But i guarantee that I am smarter than 95% of the people that have higher grades than me. I ace my tests, but do ZERO homework. This can easily be perceived as laziness, and perhaps it is, but I digress. I will skip religion because that debate has been beaten to death, and it gets nowhere. When I sit in a classroom and I look around, I am disgusted. I see animals, covered in makeup, with views embedded into their mind. Views on what is right, what is wrong, and everything in between. Example: It is commonly accepted that spiders are scary, while dogs are not. This is just because spiders are different and is something we cannot relate to, while dogs are something easy to attach to. Even tho dogs cause amount to exponentially more attacks than spiders. Anyways, I see everyone sitting in class and there is an accepted line. You cant cuss, Why? because that exact array of letters and vowels is considered vulgar. It seems like everything we do in life is trying to hide one fact, we are just animals. There is no love, only lust. We try to hide our desires and everything that drives us through clothes, makeup, actions, everything. Everything boils down to 2 things. Sex and survival. Another thing i have realized is that I have only one life on this earth and I do not wish to waste it working until I'm 60. I will consider my life complete when i have traveled this world. When I say travel I do not mean cruising to the Bahamas for some R&R on a beachfront resort. I want to walk, walk as far as I can, I want to see the world for what it is. You may say I need money for this, but the earth is more than capable of supporting a human who knows how to utilize it. I believe that modern life has dulled mans senses. We are a confused and lost species.I find it hard now to connect with people just because my views. I cannot connect with people because i do not buy into what they do. Now, it would be easy to chalk this up as teenage angst, but I am a very self aware person, I would know when i was just complaining and when I truly do not agree with what is going on around me. So I guess I don't really have a question, rather, I am asking for insight.To the person saying about seeing the decay. In a weird way that is what i enjoy. When i was in Japan, (not in mainland) I would walk around the backstreets and there would be sewage in the streets, the buildings are old and nasty, but yet, it was extremely peaceful and I loved it. Now, this could easily be different when I am in a third world slum, with disease and decay, but it would definitely be a wonderful experience whether, at the time, i enjoyed it or not. more

Resolved Question: Can you guys help me pick a religion?

I have a few religions vying for my attention. I've been visiting a few of them. One was the Adventists. They told me that they were the "true church" and the other big benefit was that I wouldn't go to hell if I joined. I think that's positive. The downsides are that I can't have alcohol, can't have premarital sex, and have to go to church on Saturday. I kinda like to have sex with my girlfriend and sometimes my wife on Saturday. In fact this one time we did it on a boat with the trees waving in the distance, there were crickets and strange birds chirping, and it was really beautiful. I felt at one with the universe and then I put in her butt, not my wife's, she doesn't like that. So anyway I won't be able to have sex with my girlfriend anymore, just my wife, but I can't do her on Saturday I guess. The other religion is the Mormons. They're pretty cool but they want me to go on a mission for two years. I think that sounds pretty cool but I don't know if I want to spend 2 years with a dude. I mean if they let me do it with a chick, I guess I'd go. I'll talk to them and see. I can see myself in a far off location with a hot honey, I'll even go with my wife if they really want me to. I can see us converting people to the true faith by day and having wild, passionate but godly sex at night. That sort of mission would be more enjoyable. I think my wife would like to go somewhere tropical so I'll ask them if I can go to Fiji or maybe the Bahamas. God save me if I go to like Moldova or Canada. Anyway I'm leaning towards the Mormons at the moment but really need to know if I can have sex on my mission first. Baptists don't like my drinking but I can just go through a drive-thru liquor store so they can't see me. So I had it all narrowed down and then these Jehovah Witnesses came to my house at 7 in the goddamn morning. It was a man and a woman so I think they got one up on the Mormons there. They told me that blood transfusions are no nos, Jesus is just an angel, and that that 70 Church elders will rule the earth. I think it would be cool to rule the earth, I'd have to become one of the elders though. I think I could do it, I'm a pretty popular guy, I was voted most popular in my high school and a lot of chicks wanted to bone me in college and still do. I do pretty well at clubs. I get at least 3 or 4 phone numbers a night and I think those social skills could transfer over into becoming a good elder. My male friends like me and I got elected head of my apartment community activity board also. I'll apply for this job and if I get it, I'll definitely join this church and even say that it's the true religion if they want me to. Oh yeah! They said NOTHING about drinking and premarital sex so I think they're in the lead at least for now. So if you guys could help me I'd appreciate it. Which of these religions is best? Are there some I haven't heard about that have good things to them? I'd really like one without so many rules but also want the right one so I don't go to hell or anything. If I get the right one then that'll erase all the bad stuff I've done too. Any suggestions will be helpful. more
