Please help me… Why are people such inconsiderate jerks even family? I should say especially family…?
I will try to shorten this. I do anything my mom need from paperwork to doctors. and recently due to my persistence we found out she has a total blockage in her main artery to her left leg so today was surgery day. I have six other siblings and I am the youngest. Well five of the six were there. My brother is one of those guys who likes anyting with a hole AKA a shovinistic pig! And he was talking about his many women and how they go back with thier abusive ex boyfriends and dump him. And I hear this stuff over and over from him. So I said he just likes and is attracted to that kind of girl/ drama. And he comes back and throws in my face about an incidentwhichh happened 5 years ago. I broke it off with an emotionally abusive guy and he was so pissed that the psycho came back with vengeances. Even though he was sleeping with a friend of mine. He assaulted me and I had to be rushed to the hospital and came with in millimeters of killing me and left me with 47 stitches on my face. A few months later I met an incredible man and he helped me through the emotional roller-coaster I was on. He is now my husband and best friend and most of all we are excited to say we are expecting in April:) So I definitely moved on and started a whole new chapter in my life. But it really bothers me that my own brother has brought this up and thrown it in my face twice now. He told me that I have no room to talk and that I was in an abusive relationship and so I am just as stupid as all the girls he meets. It bothers me that I try to be the best I can be and live my life because I almost didn’t have it and all he can bring up is this awe-full moment in my life. I know all you are going to say not to let other people bother me but this is not just anyone it is my family, my brother, how can he bring up such a hurtfull thing and feel nothing about it? It really makes me feel like crap and I don’t even want to consider him family anymore:(
you need to think .. how could you solve all of this.. be smart and think of strategies to deal ..and youre story was long lol
random | Feb 10, 2010
First, I’m so sorry about your abusive ex! Wow you are so lucky you are alive!
It is not right for your brother to bring up your past. It was not your fault…you dumped the guy to get away from him and he came after you. Just ignore him and tell him this is none of your business so please stop.
I'm not user friendlyO | Feb 10, 2010
because they can, all of my famly hates me, even my parents,brothers,cousins,ect. when ever they have partys im always in the car because if i get down there probobly gonna start messing with me, hitting me,put me down, and ive asked them all "why?" they said "because we can!!!" and from that point on ive compleatly abandond them. and ever since i havent had problems with feeling bad because them, honestly, im not gonna regret abandoning them later on in life , and now im practicly on my own, but i havent regreted it, i say… what do you need your brother for? you got an awsome man! so forget him later on in life when he trys talking to you, dont pick up the phone, just ignore his calls. so all i say is forget about him!
chevalier | Feb 10, 2010
Your brother sounds like a douche. I’m glad I have a great brother, but the rest of my family sounds just like yours. Do what I do, ignore them, don’t even talk to them unless it’s small talk and don’t get into their business so they won’t get into yours. But we all know that doesn’t work most of the time, especially when dealing with insensitive idiots. So what I do now is just rely on my hubby that loves me and would never hurt me in that way. I don’t talk enough with my family for them to bring up things that will make me feel bad. Honestly, it’s:
"how’s your life?"
"fine. I saw a movie last weekend, it was good"
"oh, that’s nice."
"yeah."
Usually I find that when you try to help them out or comment on their life is when they lash out and respond with an "oh yeah? well YOU blah blah blah"
Holding a grudge is never good but just remember that if they don’t know much about your life, they can’t bring up anything but the past. And you can ignore the conversations that will lead to something bad about you.

Plot: Long time inmate Twitch (Kurupt) gets himself transfered to a tougher prison than the re-opened Alcatraz. He claims it’s to be closer to his lady but his real motives are a bit more grandiose. There he crosses paths with Burke (Bill Goldberg) a bulky prisoner who can take care of himself. Twitch, despite being less muscular, is just as mouthy and is pretty much the same. But there is a gang war brewing between the black and hispanic inmates…
Do you like this article? Please comment.Is it harsh or humorous?
I visited Mumbai recently and agree with the observations about driving. For the benefit of every Tom, Dick and Harry visiting India and daring to drive on Indian roads, I am offering a few hints for survival. They are applicable to every place in India except Bihar, where life outside a vehicle is only marginally safer.
Indian road rules broadly operate within the domain of karma where you do your best and leave the results to your insurance company.
The hints are as follows:
Do we drive on the left or right of the road? The answer is "both". Basically you start on the left of the road, unless it is occupied. In that case, go to the right, unless that is also occupied. Then proceed by occupying the next available gap, as in chess.
1. Just trust your instincts, ascertain the direction, and proceed. Adherence to road rules leads to much misery and occasional fatality.
2. Most drivers don’t drive, but just aim their vehicles in the intended direction. Don’t you get discouraged or underestimate yourself. Except for a belief in reincarnation, the other drivers are not in any better position.
3. Don’t stop at pedestrian crossings just because some fool wants to cross the road. You may do so only if you enjoy being bumped in the back. Pedestrians have been strictly instructed to cross only when traffic is moving slowly or has come to a dead stop because some minister is in town. Still some idiot may try to wade across, but then, let us not talk ill of the dead.
4. Blowing your horn is not a sign of protest as in some countries. We horn to express joy, resentment, frustration, romance and bare lust (two brisk blasts) or just to mobilize a dozing cow in the middle of the bazaar.
5. Keep informative books in the glove compartment. You may read them during traffic jams, while awaiting the chief minister’s motorcade, or waiting for the rain waters to recede when over-ground traffic meets underground drainage.
6. Night driving on Indian roads can be an exhilarating experience (for those with the mental makeup of Genghis Khan). In a way, it is like playing Russian roulette, because you do not know who amongst the drivers is loaded. What looks like premature dawn on the horizon turns out to be a truck attempting a speed record. On encountering it, just pull partly into the field adjoining the road until the phenomenon passes. Our roads do not have shoulders, but occasional boulders. Do not blink your lights expecting reciprocation. The only dim thing in the truck is the driver and the peg of illicit arrack he has had at the last stop; his total cerebral functions add up to little more than a naught. Truck drivers are the James Bonds of India and are licensed to kill. Often you may encounter a single powerful beam of light about six feet above the ground. This is not a super motorbike, but a truck approaching you with a single light on, usually the left one. It could be the right one, but never get too close to investigate. You may prove your point posthumously. Of course, all this occurs at night, on the trunk roads.
During the daytime, trucks are more visible, except that the drivers will never show any signal. (And you must watch for the absent signals; they are a greater threat.) Only, you will often observe that the cleaner that sits next to the driver will project his hand and wave hysterically. This is definitely not to be construed as a signal for a left turn. The waving is just an expression of physical relief on a hot day.
Occasionally you might see what looks like an UFO with blinking colored lights and weird sounds emanating from within. This is an illuminated bus, full of happy pilgrims singing bhajans. These pilgrim buses go at breakneck speed, seeking contact with the Almighty, often meeting with success.
Unique to Indian traffic:
Auto Rickshaw (Baby Taxi)
The result of a collision between a rickshaw and an automobile, this three-wheeled vehicle works on an external combustion engine that runs on a mixture of kerosene oil and creosote. This triangular vehicle carries iron rods, gas cylinders or passengers three times its weight and dimension, at an unspecified fare.
After careful geometric calculations, children are folded and packed into these auto rickshaws until some children in the periphery are not in contact with the vehicle at all. Then their school bags are pushed into the microscopic gaps all round so those minor collisions with other vehicles on the road cause no permanent damage. Of course, the peripheral children are charged half the fare and also learn Newton’s laws of motion en route to school. Auto-rickshaw drivers follow the road rules depicted in the film Ben Hur and are licensed to irritate.
Mopeds
The moped looks like an oil tin on wheels and makes noise like an electric shaver. It runs 30 miles on a teaspoon of petrol and travels at break-bottom speed. As the sides of the road are too rough for a ride
I think it is absolutely hysterical, yet knowledgeable. Thanks! LOL!!

Plot: In this update of Disney’s masterpiece film mixture of animation and music, new interpretations of great works of music are presented. It begins with an abstract battle of light and darkness set to the music of Beethoveen’s Fifth Symphony. Then we see the adventures of a Humpback Whale calf and his pod set to “The Pines of Rome.” Next is the humourous story of several lives in 1930’s New York City, scored with “Rhapsody in Blue.” Following is a musical telling of the fairy tale, “The Steadfast Tin Soldier” set to Dmitri Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 2. Then a goofy Flamingo causes havoc in his flock with his yo-yo to the tune of the finale of “Carnival of the Animals.” This is followed by the classic sequence from the original film, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” starring Mickey Mouse and followed by “Pomp and Circumstance” starring Donald Duck as a harried assistant to Noah on his Ark. Finally, we see the awesome tale of the life, death and renewal of a forest in a sequence featuring the composition, “The Firebird.”
POLL/SURVEY: What's the most visually amazing Animated Film you've ever seen ?
I saw "Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children" in Japanese years ago, and to this day, I’ve never seen such amazing animation!!
"Fantasia 2000" would be a close second, though
Spirited Away for the restrained, watercolor beauty of it.
Avatar for the realism…at times, I forgot the Na’vi were animated. Really amazing.
Plot: Frank Bannister is a man who goes around town claiming that he can talk with and see ghosts, though while he can, some believe (though he is, in fact) a common con-man who gets ghosts to make it appear though there is a haunting in whichever house is chosen, wherein he sweeps into action and pretends to remove the ghosts. All this goes on until one day strange deaths start occurring all throughout town and Frank ponders this, while his love interest, Lucy Lynskey, whose husband had only just died of the same cause, goes to the house of a deranged old woman who keeps her grown-up daughter locked up, saying that it is for the good of everyone else. Soon, it is revealed that even the ghosts themselves can see the force that is killing everyone off; a deceased mass murderer come back from Hell itself to continue killing. It is therefore up to Frank, Lucy, as well as two ghosts, to find out how to end the fiendish ghost from killing any more, while all the while trying to shake off a deranged detective from arresting them both.

DAS GUUUUUUUUUUUUD!
Pias2! | Feb 08, 2010
Get a sense of humor. If you don’t like it, then tell them to stop.
Lien | Feb 08, 2010
no your not retarted
marquise | Feb 08, 2010
You’re neither, you have a low self-esteem and playing some sports or any social activities will help boost yourself up. Don’t worry about what they say.
Eiginh | Feb 08, 2010
Both.
yahoo_rye | Feb 08, 2010
Just ignorant & not the same sense of humor they have.
Please vote my answer as best answer.
Evan G | Feb 08, 2010
When they make fun of you try making fun of them sometimes.. if they are not playing with ya (dont want you to open up) and want to start a fight. then beat the living $h!t out of them.
Wesley | Feb 08, 2010
maybe you should talk to them.. it doesnt have to be like all your friends at once you could just say something to one of them and maybe theyll pass it on? but really you cant dwell on what they say and if it bothers you maybe they arent your real friends
whats her face | Feb 08, 2010
You are stupid, not retarded. It’s possible to be a good person without being a victim. Try doing that and don’t worry so much about what other people think. Being a good person will make you feel good and that’s pretty important. Hope this helps!
Shelby | Feb 08, 2010
Yeah it’s time to cowboy up and grow a pair.
Stick up for yourself and get a baseball bat, close your eyes and start swinging and if one of your friends gets hit oh well it’s their fault they shouldn’t of been standing in front of a retard swinging a bat with his eyes closed
??? | Feb 08, 2010
No there making fun of you too keep you down in life, you need too put your elbow straight too your friends temple when he’s not looking then stamp all over his testicles so he can feel your pain.
bronson | Feb 08, 2010
all u need to do is get yourself some new friends.. i don’t think you’re retarded nor stupid.. but i think u r friends are…
it's me.. | Feb 08, 2010
I wouldn’t say it’s time for vengeance…
Are they just gently mocking you? You might just be oversensitive which means it’d probably be good to try and develop a thicker skin. If you can’t do that, just let your friends know that it bugs you when they do that and nicely ask them to stop. It doesn’t sound like they’re deliberately trying to "victimize" you, but rather just ribbing you good-naturedly and not realizing that it’s getting to you.
Everybody gets made fun of at some point. You can’t really control what others say. What you can control is how you react to it.
Simon | Feb 08, 2010
Its ok. Its normal. Just tell your friends that its not ok to do that. Also if your eighteen you need to stick up for yourself. Its a tough world out there and you don’t want anyone to step all over you. I’m sorry but you need to man up. Your not a kid anymore. Don’t take this offensive ok. I’m not trying to put you down you just need to be more aggressive. Take a boxing class or something and take your anger out. Maybe that will help. Good luck:)
april | Feb 08, 2010
you’re not retarded. they do this to you because you don’t stick up for your self, next time they make a joke about you, you should laugh with them it will make them feel like they are not getting a reaction out of you. if this doesn’t help maybe you should talk to them about how it makes you feel, i know that might be a "girl" thing to do, but it will probably make things better. If this doesn’t help then i think it may be time to get new friends.
brexxbre | Feb 08, 2010
it just means ur sensible and sensitive. ok? ur childhood may have not been like a hyper over active mean kid like ur friends. and some guys like u maybe end up having really good bright futures. so if ur annoyed at them find someone more like u and dont listen to the mean comments cos they just stop u and make u doubt. oh and also stand up for urself dont let freaks bring u down:D
xxAemoxx | Feb 08, 2010
Well honestly you should talk to your Friends and them you don’t appreciate what there doing, if they don’t Stop than well i guess there not your real friends. I went through the same stuff and still do sometimes when i meet new people and im only 19. & by the way your not stupid or retarded. Theres no such thing as a man, its just what people think guys should be, Men do have feelings also. My brothers were the same, Now there just warm hearted and Friendly to everyone. Sometimes they do cry but not in front of friends. Doing that will Just make them say more stuff. Its ok to Cry and be sad sometimes
Newmomma | Feb 08, 2010
ur both!! well theyre not trying to hurt.. i have lots of friends and we make fun each other.. i mean each other alot. but it mean nothing to us.. we boys are like that u know. in a group of boys there’s always a clown.. just talk back. express ur feelings too.. like what they do. just we boys are like that.
ur not the only clown in the world
jack s | Feb 08, 2010
Troll?
"It’s time 4 vengeance"..
Well, nevertheless.. Just laugh along anyway.
And you "act like a girl instead of a man", poo you. if you want to do that, say that you’re "acting more like a little child than anything more".
You’re not retarded, it’s silly to ask that with this question thing.
You’re just low-selfesteem-Boy.
I learnt to laugh along to the height jokes long ago (when I was 13 turning 14), i’m 5ft 3. Just learn to laugh along, and talk more in general and in socially with the people you hang out with.
Pixie | Feb 08, 2010
just learn to be cool with who you are and anyone who questions that should get fucked also dont give in to feminist culture its everywere and in the last 50 years demasculated the majority of men work out 1 hour a day to maximise testosterone levels without messing your balls up theres loads more to say but to be honest im geting bored bye bye
st lou | Feb 08, 2010
Just because other people call you stupid dose’t mean your stupid. Am 13 and i use to be a lowner all the time. but then i tryed involving my self more in talking 2 my friends. Dont ever belive your retarded or stupid just because you dont talk 2 people. If your friends call you that there not really friends are they hang out with somebody diffrent for a change.Hope it helps you in some way.
Good Luck xxx
PS:If someone ever call me that i would say ”you look like a chicken and you smell like POO! Because your older you dont have to do that. once again good luck xxx

You’re neither, your friends are just assholes. Ditch the fuckers and find some nicer people cuz it sounds liek they’re just bullying you.

pengiw | Feb 08, 2010
What you are expressing has nothing to do with intelligence, and everything to do with social skills. The two are not as closely related as people think.
You also aren’t alone; lots of adults have difficult times with social skills, and deflecting criticism or mockery. And lots of adults are frustrated by their inability to respond appropriately when put on the spot that way.
If you’re really concerned about it- and it sounds as though you’ve had about enough- you need to start by speaking to someone who is trained in assessing social limitations, so that you can learn where your weaknesses actually are, and what would be a good way to involve your strengths in shoring those up.
It’s very important that you recognise that this is not an inherent defect in yourself. Everyone has skills and liabilities. Some people are good at math, others at science, some people are gifted social interactors, and others (like me) have to remember basic rules of listening and feedback in order to keep conversations flowing. You happen to have friends who are trying a method of communication which bothers you, and you don’t have a handy method to use to change how they’re doing it or communicate openly so that they don’t need to.
While you’re working on these skills, and on slowly getting the hang of interpreting why they do this and how to respond best, you need to be honest with your friends. "Hey, you know I hate this, I’m so bad at coming up with snappy answers! I’ll tell you what, why don’t we pick on you for a little while, and let me think over what to say. It’s no fair picking on the guy with the lowest social skills!" Even referencing your challenges is still communication. They’ll at least get an answer from you, a genuine response.
I realise that just posting links on active listening isn’t going to make you comfortable overnight. It’s going to take a little while to get to the bottom of your problems, and it’s going to take you time to learn more about what areas you’re missing cues in. The teasing doesn’t start from nowhere, so ask yourself, How do these conversations start?
When someone says something to you, they’re asking for something in response. What are they asking of you? Usually this isn’t just "a funny answer," but "some validation of friendship by being willing to play." Sometimes, just hanging your head and saying, "Aww, I know." is enough, other times, a gentle joke like, "I AM THE BEST AT SPELLING, though!!!" can help defuse things.
Meanwhile, ask yourself what validation YOU want that you aren’t getting. Clearly, being taken down all the time is taking its toll. What do you do that is worthwhile? It isn’t enough to tell you to go get some self-esteem- that can only be gotten through making progress on something that matters to you. So what do you do that matters? Where do you feel all right? What is it that really matters in your world, and how do you draw friends into that area of your life, to see you as you really are?
Are there areas of your life where pushing for respect is not a problem? If not, how can you begin something worthwhile that will prove to YOU who you are? This isn’t about them. No vengeance will help. It will only make things worse; what you need is to be at work bridging the gaps between who you feel like, and who you are genuinely capable of being, in terms of good in the world. I usually tell people to get out there and volunteer- it puts you instantly in the presence of people who respect you for what you’re doing, and it feels great to make a difference.

I feel like some TV Doctors feel in that "you teach people how to treat you" and by just letting it go all the time, you’re teaching them it’s okay to treat you like this.
That TV Doc wouldn’t say this, but it might be time to get up in some body’s face this time. Not to somebody smaller than you and not necessarily to somebody bigger than you. Someone your size would be perfect to make an example out of.
I just started a new job. Each time someone new trains me, they say this about someone, and that about someone; but for some reason they all seem to pick on this one guy who (to me) is perfectly normal, tries real hard, isn’t mean, comes to work on time, etc. I can’t figure it out! I really hope they are not doing the same to me.
It’s kinda like backing a badger into a corner. Badgers are nice til they have no where to go, then they lash out, simply defending themselves.
Let someone start getting sarcastic with me (I’m a fairly small guy). I have had my face punched only a couple times in 34 years, but not nearly as many times as I have stood up for myself not been punched at all. Shoving most likely happens as most people don’t really want to fight.
Fighting can lead to a "bad" reputation or whatever… but real people, not in this fake little computer world (where anyone can talk smack and be a coward) but real people wont mess around with you because you teach them not to. i tell people who treat me with sarcasm that i don’t really understand sarcasm. It’s not how I treat you so please don’t treat me this way. That’s fair right?

What's your favorite love poem/song?
Here’s mine:
Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire
It’s from the song Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash. But it’s weird; I hate the song when you hear it, but when you read it, it’s beautiful :]
We may only be in junior high
But everytime I look into your eyes
I know I made the right choice
We may only be preteens
Plot: Germany in the 1970s: Murderous bomb attacks, the threat of terrorism and the fear of the enemy inside are rocking the very foundations of the yet fragile German democracy. The radicalised children of the Nazi generation lead by Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof and Gudrun Ensslin are fighting a violent war against what they perceive as the new face of fascism: American imperialism supported by the German establishment, many of whom have a Nazi past. Their aim is to create a more human society but by employing inhuman means they not only spread terror and bloodshed, they also lose their own humanity. The man who understands them is also their hunter: the head of the German police force Horst Herold. And while he succeeds in his relentless pursuit of the young terrorists, he knows he’s only dealing with the tip of the iceberg.

Banderas’ ‘Ballistic’ the Decade’s Worst-Reviewed Movie
30.09.09
Remember "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever"?
The 2002 action film starred Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu — and movie review site RottenTomatoes.com says it was the worst-reviewed film of the past decade.
The site has listed its 100 worst-rated "Worst of the Worst" — a group that also includes everything from legendary duds like John Travolta’s "Battlefied Earth" to chuckle-deficient comedies ("Epic Movie") to hapless sequels ("Basic Instinct 2").
As RottenTomatoes puts it in the intro to its countdown: "Most films, even profoundly mediocre ones, can expect to receive at least cursory support from the pundits. However, once in a while, a film will take such a critical drubbing that further attention is warranted. That’s where our Worst of the Worst list comes in."
Winner "Ballistic" was directed by Thai helmer Kaos, aka Wych Kaosayananda, whose first film, "Fah," was a huge hit at in his native land. That success landed him the chance to be the first Thai filmmaker to handle a big-budget Hollywood production.
Alas, the $70 million film was his first and last in Hollywood, in part because of the 107 reviews tallied by RottenTomatoes, there was not a single positive one.
Rounding out the list’s worst 10 films:
–"One Last Call," Eric Valette’s 2008 remake of Japanese horrormeister Takashi Miike’s "Chakushin Ari";
— 2005 Anthony Anderson comedy "King’s Ransom," directed by Jeff Byrd;
— "tame, toothless and dull" 2004 comedy "National Lampoon’s Gold Diggers," from first-time director Gary Preisler;
— 2004 sequel "Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2," which employed the talents of Jon Voight and Scott Baio to put bad jokes in the mouths of babes;
— 2008 comedy "Strange Wilderness," which saw stoner documentarians Steve Zahn and Jonah Hill stranded in the woods;
— 2000 low-brow comedy "3 Strikes," from director DJ Pooh; Andy Cheng’s 2007 effort "Redline," described as having "plenty of bad acting, laughable dialogue and luxury cars";
— and 2008’s "Witless Protection," one of several films on the list starring Larry the Cable Guy.
None of the 10 worst films had even one positive review; in RottenTomatoes’ parlance, they were 100% rotten.
The usual suspects also turn up on the list: actors Steven Seagal (No. 19, "Half Past Dead"), Madonna ("Swept Away," No. 65), Paris Hilton (No. 67, "The Hottie and the Nottie") and Eddie Murphy (No. 79, "The Adventures of Pluto Nash"), as well as directors Renny Harlin (2006 fright-fest "The Covenant" at No. 31) and Uwe Boll (No. 48, 2006’s "BloodRayne," and No. 42, 2003’s "House of the Dead").
And there are remakes, naturally: 2002’s "Rollerball" is No. 28, one slot below notorious failure "Battlefield Earth," while 2005’s "Yours, Mine and Ours" is at No. 63.
Hillary Duff has a couple of pics on the list, 2006’s "Material Girls" at No. 46 and 2005’s "The Perfect Man," at No. 60.
Ben Affleck is well represented too, for an Oscar winner, with the expected "Gigli" (No. 73) and "Surviving Christmas" at No. 91.
