people have made claims that i am anti-american for expressing dissatisfaction about american foreign policy or dismay at the ills of american socity.. to be honest, i do not think i am anti-american.
i think i am more pro american than many of the people in the country who like to wave flags and buy t-shirts but who seem happy to turn a blind eye when things are not right and happy to see it's ideals sold to the highest bidder.
imo the true patriots are those who are willing to stand up and take the flak for saying "this isn't good enough, we demand better".
Australia - yes- aren;t you all descended from British convicts?
No was aren't ALL descended from British convicts... I'll have you know you cheeky stillajwexelder they were IRISH convicts on mum's side and british early settlers on dad's side...

Hi Still wondering... if your wondering about things you've come to a great place to wonder...
i work with about 30 guys who fail to realize that one can actually hold a conversation without swear words and still make sense.
it doesn't happen that way.
the words they use frequently make the f-word look like a polished piece of vocabulary.. now, about 4 months ago, the son of a jw family in good standing applied for a job there.
Working in an environment not to different to what you described is what helped me get out of the JW religon.
My colleagues and bosses swore like troopers, they all took drugs and partied together. For some reason they seemed to like me which was very different to how I was treated in the congregation. I grew to get to know those people and found that despite these extreme behaviours they were my friends. I felt confident to step out into the real world and new that if I could make it with these people I could DEFINATELY make it on my own.
It depends on your personality. When I landed in the deep end - I swam!
young people ask.
should i attend secondary school?.
another youth had this to say about the pressures from the worldly children in her class to attend post-elementary school: .
HILARIOUS Bethel!!! Good work... Have you any more?
my mother was roman catholic and, it turns out, mentally ill. she was rushed into marriage when my father got her pregnant with me.
he was also catholic, a sailor, and an alcoholic.. .
when my father was going to be sent to vietnam, my mother threatened to kill me and herself.
