6 AnswersMathematics9 years agoShould I leave my boyfriend of 4 years?
Im 28, hes 33. Alright, we have been together very happily for the last 4 years. I mean, yes, we have had our ups and downs like every couple. In the last year, I have been working full time and going to school full time. I have not had much time to get to the gym like I used to. I gained a little weight and am self conscious about it. He always said I looked beautiful when I mentioned how uncomfortable I was. Well, my boyfriend is heavily into sports and drinks quite a bit. About a month ago, he got so drunk and it was no longer fun to take care of him. I asked him, very calmly might I add, to slow down the drinking. I don't mind it. He agreed and he did so well this last month. Last night, I was doing homework, he drank a lot of beer and then when he ran out he moved onto hard liquor. He does NOT do well with liquor. He knows it, we both know it. Well, I simply asked him if he were drunk after the first mixed drink (especially after mixing both beer and liquor). A few minutes later, he got up, slammed the glass into the sink, and it was so loud I thought he broke the glass. I got up and asked him why he was slamming stuff. He ignored me so I followed him up the stairs where he said, and I quote; "Why do you gotta be a piece of ****?" . My jaw literally dropped. I was in shock. I simply told him, "All I did was ask you a question and you call me a piece of ****?", all he said was, "yea". So I stated, "All I did was ask you to slow down on the drinking a little bit", so he then said, "Yea, and I asked you to slow down on the eating too, but that obviously didnt happen".
Now, this literally broke my heart. We have an amazing dog. Shes my world, I am not sure what to do. I have no family or friends in my area so I cant simply stay with anyone. I dont want to move because neither one of us can afford it.
Is there something I can do, or is it time to move on?

Fashion & Accessories1 decade agoWhat is Frederick Douglass's view on freedom?
He wrote an editorial for his news paper..."Give us the freedom intended for us"
We are often cautioned against demanding too much for the colored people of this country. This
cautioning is invariably accompanied with a full narration of what has already been done for our
people, and we are further exhorted to remember that within the past decade we were slaves
without any rights entitled to respect, and that in this short space of time we have been freed and
transformed into American citizens, with the right to exercise the elective franchise extended to
us by amendment to the National Constitution. Having been the recipients of these very valuable
gifts, it is asserted by some who have taken an active part in the giving, that we should be
satisfied at least long enough to allow the nation to take breath after its strenuous exertions in the
accomplishment of the results so beneficial to us. To such persons the fact that we have been
oppressed, outraged, and wronged for more than two centuries seems to be no argument why the
nation should hasten to undo the wrong it has sanctioned against us, now that if fully admits the
evil perpetrated upon us.
The elective franchise without protection in its exercise amounts to almost nothing in the hands of
a minority with a vast majority determined that no exercise of it shall be made by the minority.
Freedom from the auction block and from legal claim as property is of no benefit to the colored
man without the means of protecting his rights. The black man is not a free American citizen in
the sense that a white man is a free American citizen; he cannot protect himself against
encroachments upon the rights and privileges already allowed him in a court of justice without an
impartial jury. If accused of crime, he is tried by men who have a bias against him by reason of
his race, color, or previous condition of servitude. If he attempts to send his children to the nearest
public school where a free white American citizen, who pays no more taxes, can have the
privilege without question, he is driven away and has no redress at law. If, after purchasing tickets
for a ride in a first-class railway carriage, a colored person is hustled out into a smoking car, he or
she has no redress at law because a custom prevails which allows injustice in this respect to
colored persons.
We claim that the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the
United States were intended to give full freedom to every person without regard to race or color
in the United States; and, in order that this intention should be carried out and acted upon, power
for that purpose was given by conferring upon Congress the right to enforce the amendments by
appropriate legislation. It cannot be denied that the violent interference with the black man to
prevent him from exercising the elective franchise in accordance with his own views is an
abridgement of his freedom as is also the refusal of a trial by a jury of his peers; nor can it be
denied that the forcing of colored men to pay for what they do not get by railroad corporations or
the refusal to allow the same accommodation to them as to other citizens of the United States, is
an invidious discrimination amounting to an abridgement of citizenship rights...
We cannot be asking too much when we ask this Congress to carry out the intention of this Nation
as expressed in the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. We are not free. We cannot
be free without the appropriate legislation provided for in the above amendments. We say to those
who think we are demanding too much that it is idle to point us to the amendments and ask us to
be satisfied with them and wait until the nation is educated up to giving us something more. The
amendments are excellent but they need to be enforced. The result intended to be reached by the
nation has not been reached. Congress has neglected to do its full duty. The people one month ago
reiterated in thunder tones their demand "that complete liberty and exact equality in the
enjoyment of all civil, political, and public rights should be established and effectually maintained
throughout the Union by efficient and appropriate State and Federal legislation." We join in this
demand those who think we are asking too much to the contrary notwithstanding.
The people on the 5th of November last ratified the following:
"The recent amendments to the national Constitution should be cordially sustained because they
are right, not merely tolerated because they are law, and should be carried out according to their
spirit by appropriate legislation." The Liberal Democratic platform took similar ground as
follows, and all the voters in the country voted for similar principles: "We recognize the equality
of all men before the law and hold that it is the duty of Government in its dealings with the people
to mete out equal

We have been dating for 3 years. I am 28 and he is 33. We have lived with each other for 2.5 years and want to spend the rest of our lives together. We have both said that. The problem? Hes been married once before and I want to get married. I am scared that if I ask him to marry me that it would freak him out. He doesn't get freaked out about weddings at all, in fact he loves the fact that our friends are all getting married. But I want to casually ask him about it... when is the "perfect" time to talk about this? Ughh, I am so nervous.

1 AnswerEconomics1 decade agoIs it illegal or just unethical?
My co-worker knows absolutely nothing about the recent political elections or what each candidate represented. My boss told him/her to leave early to vote. When he/she left, my co-worker asked who to vote for, and he/she voted for that person without even knowing. Now I asked someone what their opinion on the matter was, he told me that it was better than NOT voting. I completely disagree. I feel that if you don't know anything about the subject at hand, then you should not be voting.Don't ever go blindly into it with out doing your homework on it. What are your opinions? PLEASE save the "freedom of speech/vote" mumbo jumbo. Im really upset about this.
