2 AnswersLanguages8 years agoHow to stop loving a girl?
I know this girl that I think wanted me to ask her out. She gave so many mixed messages that literally contradicted each other in the worst possible ways. Anyways I didn't want to ask her out because she didn't seem like my kind of girl. We had nothing in common other than maybe similar cultures and childhoods. Other than that she is everything I rather not be. Spoiled, whiny, and careless about the rest of the world other than flirting with guys(sometimes with me, sometimes with other guys in front of me). Nonetheless I didn't want anything to do with her other than friends and maybe a NSA, yes I find her attractive. She recently went back to her country on a 3 month vacation and an old friend of hers who she now knows about 4 month went with her because she said they liked each other. We still text. After a week she left she casually tells me, he proposed and they're getting engaged O.O. In the next couple of weeks she sent me numerous photos which I said were inappropriate, so I asked her to stop with them. For the past week I've been trying to forget about her so I haven't texted her at all. Even though I missed her even before she left as I didn't see her for the 3 days before she left. My parents weren't the best and I didn't get exposed to much love and have no idea if this is it. My rational part is saying I should forget about her but not cut off all ties as we are friends. But my emotional part is saying tell her you love her and tell her not to go with the wedding. My rational part never got the idea of love so I've always expressed I don't believe in it as it doesn't make sense. My emotional part is saying maybe just maybe it doesn't have to make sense. It just has to happen. Some part of me tells me she might be ******* with me and the wedding is made up to make me jealous, I will be pissed off if it's that. Anyways sorry for the rant, she comes back in 2 tortuously long month maybe maybe with the guy. Please put me out of my misery!!!!
2 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agoLast person you were/are mad at?
So I have this theory that people use swear words because it's easier to use profanity than to use finding fitting words when one is mad. I want you to try and offend the last person you were/are mad at without using profanity but at the same time have the same impact as **** you mother-****** *** of a *****. Make it as long or as little as you can, hell use a dictionary if you like I want to see what people come up with.

1 AnswerMovies9 years agoWhat does love mean to you?
This isn't going to be one of those "my girlfriend broke up with me and I want her back" stories, which nobody likes.
Part one: You don't have to read this part it's just my background
Growing up, I was raised in a not-so-lovely family. We had lots of fights, I know most families do, but ours was abnormal. My father was only home when it was time to sleep, then as soon as he'd wake up he'd go out again, who knows where. As for my mother she threatened to cut my throat with a kitchen knife, on multiple occasions. I don't want you to feel sorry for me I just want you get an idea of where I'm coming from. I was no angel either but I guess apple doesn't fall far from the tree, although this apple has been rolling away from that trees as far as possible. The point to this part is to say that I can't comprehend love, I think. I don't ever remember any family or relative say "I like you" let alone "I love you". As a result I just don't understand it. In some way I'm actually glad of this, because instead of being told what love is I can discover it for myself. Especially since love means different things to different people based on what they were taught about it and/or learned themselves.
Part two: This is the part that I actually want your input in.
So there was this guy(let's call him.....John Doe?) at my work who is a bisexual and has a female fiance, John is no longer working with me so I can't talk to him. Now I'm a supporter of equality and I think it's nobody else's business what gender other people prefer. But I've never really thought about the idea of being a bisexual, I just thought it was a phase people went through in college just experimenting, but the idea of a bisexual being engaged to a female didn't click in my mind. At one point I thought how does that work out, does he cheat on his fiance only with guys? John's situation was stuck in my head for a couple of month(nothing sexually :P), while I was trying to understand it. Finally one day I felt enlightened and thought John has an open mind towards love. He must think he can find love in a male or a female and doesn't want to exclude either. This idea felt like something you'd hear Buddha come up with. Obviously I'm speculating since I didn't question him about this, can you imagine the awkwardness...."Why are you engaged to a woman if you're bisexual?"
Anyways to conclude I'd like to ask you....
Are you:
1.male/female
2.heterosexual? homosexual? or bisexual?
And an open format question. Feel free to add your own views or even debate me on some of this, I do still keep an open mind.
3. By constricting love to only one gender does love become lust?
Question ends here.....
Food for thought--
I've always thought that in the future the idea of marriage will become void. Instead people will love multiple people at once as they do now, but sex will be a whole separate idea and only used for pleasure. People will just have sex with anyone and creating a relationship won't be necessary. I know lots of people (mostly guys) have one night stands, but I mean something bigger then that. People would just have relationships based on sex and not love, of course if you become a significant part of each other's lives love will eventually follow. But in my opinion marriage won't be needed, you can have sex with multiple people at the same time and it wouldn't be socially awkward. Please don't think that just because I'm a guy I just want to have sex with lots of women without commitment and this is my excuse to rationalize it. As I said I can't comprehend love, I am against marriage though, I can't see myself spending my entire life with one person in a sexual and/or platonic way. People might say I have commitment issues but I don't see them as issues, and I'm not going to feel guilty for who I am.

5 AnswersPolls & Surveys9 years agoDoes Canadian Government help new comers to Canada?
I was wondering how the government helps new comers to Canada. I have old neighbors of mine coming to Canada soon. They can't speak English or French and will probably be staying in Ottawa area.
She is the mother of 5 children, 1 of which is only a baby, 3 under 18, and oldest over 18. Her husband isn't with the family. I will be helping them settle in Canada because I owe them so much and they're like a second family to us. My own family has their own financial issues and responsibilities so they won't be much help, understandably.
So the question is will the government help them financially and to what point, with health coverage, and schooling and or housing?
Thanks in advance, I'd really appreciate a clean and informative reply from someone reliable.
I need to make life here comfortable for them, because they don't have anyone else. Also pointing me to sources and organizations that could help is appreciated.
6 AnswersOther - Canada9 years agoIs my building manager stupid for doing this?
It's sunday morning(raining is falling stealing some cover....). I get home and I smell smoke, I open the door to the stair case and I see a bundle of newspapers burnt and turned to ash by the time I arrive. I called my building manager to tell him this. 5 minutes later I hear sirens out the window. I'm just thinking don't come closer....it's not even a big deal, the fire is already out and it was only news papers on metal stairs and fire is already out. So I hear the truck park beside the window and I open the door and hear 2 firemen talking and a weird static noise from a device. I couldn't see them but I could hear since my apartment is near the stairs. 5 Minutes later they left and here I am asking this question. Is there a reason he called the fire department? For insurance claim? For other fires? Although they were only there for like 5 minutes and gone. And what was the static noise? I didn't go check it out cause I didn't want to get in the way or give them any ideas to blame me for it although I have a solid alibi.

7 AnswersPolls & Surveys9 years agoReally weird question here?
I have a unique perspective on most things in the world and this might be weird to some but I wanted to know how I could arrange this and what is needed. First of all there should be a flag at the bottom of my post showing I'm from Canada. Now I'm an atheist but I still have my personal beliefs. When I die I want my usable organs donated to whatever good it can go to(transplants, experiments). I suspect my blood can be drained to feed the vampires(by that I mean people with same blood type as me that need it :P). But I want the remains to be transferred to somewhere in Africa where lions live. I want my remains to be wrapped in a net and dragged by a vehicle to a speed similar to lions' preys. I don't believe in the whole burial thing or burning(which is a waste TBH). I want my body to go back on the food chain. But I don't want to be dumped somewhere and let the lions have a free meal, no they'll get lazy if this thing actually catches on. I want them to work for it like any other prey.
This is a serious question. I have no idea what to prepare legally/financially. I mean if I was there to do it myself it would be different story. Since I'm not gonna be there I need to know exactly what I need to do and if there are any kind of paper work I need to sign to give my consent. Would my body belong to my closest family member and can I change that? Since my family is extremely religious and will bury me for sure. Would I need to buy plane tickets to transfer my body? Is feeding the wildlife illegal in Africa? Is there anyway or anyone that can stop this even if I make it clear that this is what I want?
Ok so let's say Jack Dur Eepure(like that name? it's French. HA HA) agrees to do this for me. What would I have to do so he can take a 2 week vacation off from work and do this in at least 2 weeks so he has enough time to come back to continue his work? What are the financial obstacles? Legality of it? and what-nots-I-didn't-think-of?
Again just to make this clear, this isn't some kind of sick joke so please don't flag this. No I'm not twisted in the head....well at least not in this case. This is my belief and I want it done. I just need to know what I need to do to prepare Jack for it. I'm not some Emo kid that is looking for attention. Hope you see the humor in my post and see that, but this is actually a serious question.
bulletin points and most information in least amount of words is appreciated.

1 AnswerLaw & Ethics9 years agoWhat movie or show is this?
I remember watching something on tv, I think it was a movie but may have been a show. The setting was sort of a war zone. The plot was sort of like Battle Star Galactica. There main male character was put in a training camp since he was a little kid. He learned martial arts and was trained in all sorts of combat and gun shooting. During the movie there is some kind of war between man and machine, if I remember right. It might be man vs aliens but I can't really remember. The main male character has a gun that has Artificial Intelligence built in it and he's the only one that can fire it. The main female character comes in a little into the movie. Eventually they join forces to raid some kind of base to gather intelligence. The male character teaches the female some stuff, they have sex, become a couple, and they kill robots and raid the place. The male is suppose to be extremely good at fighting and shooting as he's been training all his life.
If anyone can tell me the name of the movie or show I'll give 5 stars.

4 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoGot time to read a real life story?
This is a true story of something I did that could've killed me....enjoy.
There was a period in my life (14 years old to 16 years old), where I just didn't care one bit about anything including my life. I guess you could say I was an anarchist(google if you don't know what it means). I just wanted to live like an animal. I consider myself pretty smart and I did my research and realized that I wouldn't live past the first winter, but I was fine with it. I wanted to go in a jungle and just hunt for my food and live in a cave and don't worry about anything else but how I'm going to get my next meal. There was this time where I ran away from home (age 16) and I was going to walk over 3 provinces(Canadian provinces), IDK if I did the calculations right or not but it would take me 3 month of non stop(24/7) walking to get to my destination.I had about $500 and guess what I bought. 1 Hunting knife($80), a jacket and hat from a garage sale($20), $230 worth of beef jerky(at that time that seemed like it had lots of nutrition and would fill me up even though in my life I had never tasted them before), yes I threw them all out in the gas station's garbage bin 2 minutes after buying them. But wait that wasn't my final destination. I was suppose to cross the border and go to the US illegally and keep walking to Florida and I was planning on going to Mexico as my "plan B" and catching a ride(yes I was going to sneak in a ship) across the Atlantic all the way to Africa and live with some native tribe(I forgot the name of the tribe but I knew what region they were in). But I failed the first day after walking for 12 hours and trying to hitch hike some distance I decided it was time to get something to eat and find shelter.
So we're at around 7 pm right now me walking down some street barely any cars around( it was a residential neighborhood) I ended up eating 2 crickets, yes as in grasshoppers(when I was smaller I used to catch them with my siblings and cousins a lot so it wasn't a challenge for me catching them. They were pretty tasteless like the worm that was crawling on the road. But all of that wasn't enough to settle my stomach. About 10 minutes later I got out of that area and it was just roads with 1 side all corn farms and what not(fenced unfortunately) and the other side entrances to where people lived. So I went on the side attached to the farms and started walking and there was puddles of water and I found a huge frog. It wasn't very huge, I had seen frogs before in my life but never that big. It fit in my palm would be an accurate measurement. So I go after it. It wasn't fast but it was pretty agile which made it hard to catch. But I did catch it after about 3 car honks of people trying to tell me "WTF are you doing". Since I found it near puddle and it was a frog I figured I might play it safe and not eat it raw like the crickets and the worm. A week later I had bought this awesome torch lighter(wind and water proof). Once it went on it looked like a gas oven flames rising up. I tried looking for sticks to stick the frog on but couldn't find any and I was hungry so I just cut of the legs and torched them first and ate them. Washed it down with the last of my water, I had a water bottle that looke like a prob from a 16th century cowboy movie. Then I sliced the head with my knife and it squished in my hands. As gross as you might think that is it was less gross then those beef jerky that I bought earlier. But I still throw the rest of the frog away. After about 20 more minutes of walking I was pretty tired and decided to get some rest. It was a little over 8 pm and I found this cross section(possibly the worst place to use as shelter). There were trees at least to hide me during night, but there was a lamp post directly above me. After 5 minutes of tucking in and moving about trying to get comfy I seriously considered throwing a huge rock and breaking the lamp. The area was pretty busy at this time and there were lots of cars going and coming but I was so tired I went in a silence phase where I tried to block out or at least not care about noises and gather my thoughts. I decided this was a fail attempt with $150 or so left there was no way in hell I was going to make it and got up and started walking a bit to find the nearest convenient store. At the time I felt ashamed for giving up on my journey. After a while I saw a Mac's convenient store and asked the clerk if he could call a taxi for me. He called Blueline for me and got there within minutes. I told the driver my address and surprisingly got home in 10 minutes. I gave him a 20 dollar bill and told him to keep the change. He replied with the worst comment, "have a good night". This was my face >:l . I unlock the door and go straight to the kitchen to eat something that I didn't kill myself. I made some scrambled eggs and hot dogs. My mom said "Hi,
