I just read Francisco d'Anconia's "money speech" and I don't fully understand it, is it saying that capitalism is bad?

Here's a link http://capitalismmagazine.com/2002/08/franciscos-m...

Really interesting!

Hey guys! I've been really interested in astrology recently and find it just fascinating! What can you tell me about myself? based on experience and/or research :p

Just for pure entertainment!

You can write down your signs too :)

P.S. Happy Martin Luther King day!!

Ok so I know this question has been asked numerous times...but I am willing to do literally anything for flawless skin, i am a 17 year old girl and my skin is not horrible but I look so dead and dull, I have scarring and some breakouts on my forehead, my nose is AWFUL...so many blackheads, visible pores, discoloration, im starting to get clogged pores around my cheeks and a few breakouts, my chin recently started breaking out, i have several whiteheads and scars..i am so sick of covering my face with makeup

I look absolutely HORRID without makeup, and even with makeup my pores and blemishes are noticeable, I also have horrible raccoon eyes lol i literally look like a zombie :(

so what can i do? i have tried literally everything...i want immediate results, im thinking like chemical peels, vitamin injections to the skin, skin treatments? i just want to know where to start from?

Btw i am asian, and i have yellow tones, so i look even more dull

Ok so the past few weeks my eyes have been really irritated, especially the inner corners of my eyes, i thought they were allergies but i woke up just now (it is 2:38AM omg) and i was rubbing my eyes like crazy i could not take it!! and i felt like my eyes were so swollen so i looked in the mirror and oh my goodness my eyes are crazy swollen and the inner corner of my eyes look really red and just...swollen, i also have these bumps on my eyelids, could be a bugbite since i found a bump on my hand..idk but my eye is literally killing me, i dont have any allergy medication, and it is 2:40AM what do i do with my eyes?

So I am a 16yr old girl and my bf is 14yr, yes i know hes young but anyways,i think i am starting to realize that i dont really like the way i am treated by my bf, i mean i know he likes me and all, but these past few days, hes been acting really different, he got a new wardrobe and since then idk he seemed very different, which i get, he probably feels confident and happy with it, but on that day hes been very cold towards me, i was so upset because watching him talking to his friends and being happy without me made me feel horrible that i actually started crying..another thing is i spend so much money on him, i dont expect anything big but on valentines days he told me how he was going to go all out, but ended up giving me a single rose which was sweet but still made me feel llike **** as my other guy friends literally went ALL OUT, big bears, chocolate, flowers. anyways it was his bday and i got him a card, a shirt and a cupcake..we didnt even spend the day together as he wanted to go smoking with his other group of friends, i dont know anymore, there is so much more things going on but i just want to know what to do with him? i really like him but i hate feeling like this at the same time..he is young, so can this be an age matter? is he too immature for me?

Ok so I'm a 17 yr old girl and there were a lot of things going on lately...I'm going to keep this short..I have a bf and we've been together for a few months, my mom found used condoms and she also found out that I smoke weed(my dad told her) my parents are seperated btw..I guess my mom was in shock, because I'm not bad or anything, and I've been skipping classes/school its partly because of my bf but there are days when I just don't want to go..anyways there's so much more to the story, longstory short, they forbade me seeing my bf I can't go out anymore, I got my phone and keys taken away, so I have to go home from school right away. I can't do anything, Im miserable, I just lie in bed...I mean I know I can live without my bf, but I have all this pressure/burdens on my shoulders(college,a job, future,etc) and its becoming too heavy for me to carry, I am so stressed out, I just want my life back...should I just stay like this? If my parents find out I'm seeing him they will seriously kick me out, I was so close to getting kicked out before but I put my pride aside and said sorry..maybe I should kill myself

Ok so..the past few days, i was getting cramps and my stomach felt really gassy(?) but i dont have my period..the last time i had my period was on Jan 16th which was the day it started, prob lasted about 4-5 days, i am very irregular..i can go months without my period.

Ok so i am 16 and sexually acitve with my bf, anyways i had sex a few days after my period ended and couple more times on other days, we used to use condoms all the time but recently have been using the pull out method, which i regret. anyways last night, we had sex and he thought he came in me a little bit, but he let the rest out when he pulled out from me, he has never ejaculated in me EVER but i know precum can get you pregnant..anyways i took plan b a couple hours ago, how do i know if the pill worked? Im really worried, because ive been getting the gassy feeling in my stomach BEFORE we had sex last night, so im thinking if i am pregnant, then it mustve been from the other times we had sex, i really dont know what to do anymore, im hoping that im just being paranoid..not to mention that i need to pay back my friend for buying the pill for me...also when do i know when to take a pregnancy test if i am irregular?

i am 16 and i think i might be pregnant...or paranoid.

Ok so i am sexually active with my current bf. and we used to use condoms all the time but the past few weeks we've been using the pull out method, I KNOW WERE SO STUPID!

The last time i had my period was on the 16th of Jan, my cycle is irregular so it comes whenever it feels like, i had sex with him like 2-3 days after my period ended, and then we did it a couple more times on other days,im really worried, he has never came in me, but today he thought he came a little bit, but he let the rest out when he pulled out of me, today after school, my stomach felt really gassy, idk how to explain it,, i guess kinda like cramps..nothing painful or anything, i dont have my period, no spotting or anything..just the gassy feeling in my stomach, i feel like my stomach is growling sometimes, i ate and it does feel better but i am still really worried, im thinking of getting plan b, i know i was being reaally stupid, my bf and i are def not ready for a baby, i do not plan on having sex anymore..or at least till i get my period..am i being paranoid? my period is irregular...there are so many thoughts going thru my mind,,i wanna kill myself

My dad did my laundry as i didnt have time, im guessing he mixed colors...my white tank is literally blueish gray...my light pink cardigan is now a dull grayish pink color, some of my clothes of jean stains on them..what do i do? should i just wash the tank and cardi with light colors? will that get the color back?

So I'm currently 16, turning 17 in a couple weeks, my current boyfriend is 13, yes i know that is young, he is turning 14 in less than a month..I've been thinking about my future lately, and I don't know if I should stay with him, we've been together for about 3 months, not that long but it feels like we've known each other for sooo long..soon i will be 18..and i know that it is not right to go out with a minor. I hate thinking about this, but its been bothering me lately. He says he loves me, and i have broken up with him in the past and he cried..I know i have feelings for him, I think were perfect for each other but i think he can do better..i dont know, what should i do? Can age really just be a number? Do you think i should end it sooner before it gets too hard?

I always had nice, straight legs.

I am 16 now and I noticed how the inner knees pop inward..giving this really crooked unattractive look to my legs..why is this? All my life I had straight legs..so why all of a sudden? I have been sleeping all over the place..I used to sleep with my legs straight, could that be the problem? I also cross my legs. Is there anything I can do?

So I started wearing makeup when I was about 15..undereye concealer,white eyeliner,lipstain, and blush..I had nice, decent skin. I am almost 17 and you wont believe how much has changed since then..my skin sucks, my dark circles seem to get worse and worse..I NEED concealer/foundation to look half way decent..BUT I HATE WEARING MAKEUP! I know I sound ridiculous but its true. I have been thru so much sh!t. I actually looked pretty until I was14, I got horrible acne..people looked at me differently, they treated me diff too..the world just got cruel and cold. My self esteem hit rock bottom, i am still trying to build my confidence and self esteem up. So I turned to makeup..and now I regret it so much. I have visible pores,redness and some discoloration on my nose ..not to mention my raccoon eyes..I NEVER leave my.house without makeup..its so sad..I feel bad for myself..also I'm asian..korean to be exact..and sometimes I feel like I'm ugly because I'm asian..I hate my yellow skin..I use a very light concealer/foundation to hide the yellowness..

Ive been researching about microdermabrasion..I have also considered plastic surgery..how can improve my skintone..please feel free to share your thoughts and experiences.

Ok so I got a haicut in august and got a v-cut

It came out really nice actually..the layers blended really well but stupid me cut the front layers. I cut it while it was wet. And down an angle..anyways the the front layers are short and just choppy looking

I thought it wouldn't make a big diff but now it doesn't blend with the rest of my hair..how can I fix this..or what should I tell my hairdresser..I love the length of my hair right now and only want to fix the frong layers.

I'm literally crying while writing this down..

So I'm a 16 yr old girl..when I was younger I was always happy..never cared about what people said..right now I'm mostly going thru self esteem isssues and its affecfing me overall. So I was chunky as a kid and when I was 13-14 I lost weight and became "prettier"..I was happy with my life..then one day everything just changed..I moved like 2x..I also cut my beautiful hair and got bangs which led to acne and then after that my self esteem went dowwwn. My friends were like what happened to her..and the sad part is ik I got uglier..I don't even want to go out anymore..I have to wear makeup allll the time..my hair is no longer what it used to be..my skin sucks..my dark circles are horrid..I feel bad for my parents, because I'm not that cute little girl anymore. They can tell that I am unhappy. I'm asian..and I feel like that's the biggest reason why I look like this..people used to tell me that I was the prettiest asian they've seen..

Its just so hard because I'm no longer that girl anymore..how can I climb back up?

I'm to the point where I just wanna drop out of hs..I'm in my junior yr..and I hate the school I go to..It is filled with blacks and hispanics..not that there is anything wrong with that..its just that some are so rascists against asians..I go to a school in ny so its difficult to transfer schools..my parents are against homeschooling..should I just kill myself..I feel like a failure.

Ok I'm a 16 yr old girl and I'm going thru a lot of shitt right now. Mostly self esteem issues family issues..I used to be chubby as a kid..wasn't the prettiest but I was confident and happy..by 13-15 I lost weight..got tons of compliments and Im not gna lie I thought I was beautiful. Then one day I moved..lost all my friends..got horrrrrible acne(due to my bangs)..gained alittle weight, i have horrrrrible darm circles..I used to have such a healthy glow to my face..but now I have to wear makeup everyday to even feel alittle prettty..its starting to affect me at school..like all I care about is my appearance. I'm just hoping this is a teenage phase. I wanna be beautiful again..

I have gym 2nd pd.And I eat breakfast so my blood sugar crashes. My dad prefers me to have gym in the afternoon, so do I. My school is overcrowded so changing schedules is difficult sometimes. How can I convince my guidance counselor with a letter? What shouls I write? Please help as I need gym to graduate high school.

Ok so a couple days ago I bought an item..it was for buy it now so I had paid it immediately via paypal

I checked it after a while and it was marked shipped..it is located in cali and I am in ny..anyways I checked ebay and I could no longer find the item or any history of it..i don't remember the sellers name..I found the product on the list but it said the item could not be displayed and that it was an invalid id..did I get scammed..? Should I wait for the product?
