My friend is a slave to his lazy mother?
He is 27 years old, he still lives with his mother literally being her slave.
He has no job, be has no girlfriend or family of his own, and he rarely even leaves the house. When we are hanging out, he often abruptly leaves because his mother needs something. That is when i can get him to leave the house at all. Most often he does not come because his mother may need something.
He cooks for her, cleans for her, takes care of the house and the yard. He goes shopping and does literally everything while she does nothing but watch TV all day. She has no job either because she got fired a couple of years ago, and now they are living off welfare.
She is not ill or disabled in any way aside from being grossly obese.
He is constantly depressed because of his life, but refuses to change anything. I keep telling him to try and get a job and get rid of her because she is ruining his life. But he always blows me off, saying he can not do that to his mother.
He has very low self-esteem and never stands up to her. And the few times that he does, she threatens to thrown him out of the house.
I feel sorry for him, ke is a very smart, kind and honest guy, and i would like to help him. But i don't know how, since his is unwilling to do anything himself.
9 AnswersReligion & Spirituality2 years agoGuys out there, do you actually find Kim Kardashians body attractive?
Because i do not.
You literally can not read the news in the morning any more without coming across articles about her. The media seems to portray her as some sort of avatar of beauty. But i actually find her really unattractive (i am a guy).
Especially her unnaturally wide hips and enormous ***. She looks to me like a giant insect with her *** being the abdomen. It doesn't not look human.
If she is supposed to be the ideal example of feminine beauty, there is something seriously wrong with our society.

10 AnswersReligion & Spirituality2 years agoA question on the 2nd amendment?
I am not a liberal or a conservative or even an American for that matter. And i myself own 4 guns, so before you start thinking that, i AM NOT against gun ownership. But i overheard a debate on that subject recently.
Basically conservatives say that the 2nd amendment permits everyone in the United States to bear arms, and that regulating the ownership of firearms would be unconstitutional.
But the 2nd amendments goes like this:
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Now, pay attention to the "well regulated" and "militia" part. If i am understanding this correctly, the 2nd amendment permits the establishing and maintaining of a regulated (as in controlled and trained) paramilitary force (militia), not everyone to own a firearm. In short, an organization like the National Guard, an organization that citizens can join and receive training.
Now i stress AGAIN that i am not anti gun ownership. This is simply a question out of curiosity.
14 AnswersPolitics2 years agoAm i the only one who has noticed a recent rise in censorship of our media?
Our freedom of press is slowly being taken away step by step.
Western media has increasingly been fining and shutting down sources that reported contrary to the narrative pushed by Washington. Twitter for example shut down multiple Syrian accounts a few days ago because they reported against the White Helmets. UK has fined RT for breach of impartiality.
Now you might say, "oh but that is just Russian propaganda, so what's the problem?". The problem is that our media is slowly being censored. Let the people decide what is truth and what is propaganda, not censorship. What is happening now is a gradual transformation into fascism, through small steppes. A little censorship here, a little censorship there. Where are we going to be in 20 years if we continue on this path?
3 AnswersPolitics2 years agoHow do i get over my mistrust of women?
I have been cheated on twice and dumped in public.
Now i don't date any more, i haven't dated in almost 5 years now. I feel that women are selfish, shallow, materialistic and hypergamy. I feel that they just want to use men and then discard them or cheat as soon as better man comes around (or at least what they consider a batter man).
I know that this can not be true for all women, i understand that not all women are copies of each other, i am not stupid.
People tell me that i have just had bad luck and that i should keep trying. And i realize that, it is logical. Yet deep down, i can not help but have this fear, sometimes we can not simply brush our feelings aside with logic.
3 AnswersMental Health2 years agoDo women get a feeling of power when they reject men?
I hear my buddies say that all the time.
That women like to reject men because it makes them feel superior and it makes them feel powerful.
13 AnswersGender Studies2 years agoIs this the way Americans think?
"The US military kills way more people than it loses.. In Vietnam 1.1 million Viet cong and N vietnamese fighters were killed while only like 60,000 American soldiers died.. How exactly is that losing? Even the General of the Vietnamese troops said they were on the brink of defeat, but the US pulled back due to pressure from US citizens..
In Korea it is estimated that half a million Korean/Chinese soldiers were killed... While the US only lost 34,000...
I would love nothing more than the US to forget Geneva and just kill every one in these countries and repopulate with Americans... That would take way less time, cost way less and would ensure peace afterwards.."
This is a quote from one American on a discussion about the Vietnam war.
If this is the way Americans think, the only way can ever have world peace is when USA no longer exists.
9 AnswersPolitics2 years agoDo you think Butina was ever an actual spy?
I doubt she was.
The Russians just don't mention her anywhere at all. Even now as they are proposing a prisoner exchange, they never mentioned her at all. As if they don't care about her at all.
I think she was just an ordinary gold digger, looking to prostitute herself to some rich politicians.

25 AnswersReligion & Spirituality2 years agoPoor little Timmy. Why are stupid people allowed to have children?
When Little Timmy went to school
And mastered one to nine,
He thought the other kids were cool,
And every class divine.
He painted shapes in red and blue,
And drew in curves and bends -
And by the time the day was through,
He'd made a hundred friends!
'I'm pals with Pete, and Mike, and Max!'
He told his pa with pride.
But Timmy's folks were anti-vax.
And Timmy ******* died.
10 AnswersOther - Family & Relationships2 years agoDoes anyone really believe this obvious Gulf of Oman false flag?
How is it possible that people can be so stupid?
1. The hole on the tanker shown in the media is NOT a hole made by a Limpet mine! Limpet mines use a shaped charge to penetrate the hull. A shaped charge is a jet of molten metal piercing through the hull, and as such, the resulting hole looks molten through.
This is what a shaped charge penetration looks like: http://i.imgur.com/VGKD6Sz.jpg?1
And this is the hole left on the tanker:https://www.aljazeera.com/mritems/Images/2019/6/18...
In fact, the hole on that tanker looks more like a missile impact. The scorch marks around the impact site were created by the fuel of the missile burning after the impact.
2. The US now admit that they had an MQ-9 Reaper drone in the area, which is also the drone that supposed captured the footage of the Iranian boat that is all over the media. What was a US Reaper drone doing there? The MQ-9 Reaper is not used for general purpose surveillance, it is a recon/attack drone that usaully flies integrated with manned combat aircraft. And it can be armed with the AGM-114 Hellfire missile. Coincidentally, the hole on that tanker very closely resembles that of a Hellfire missile impact.
3. The Japanese crew of the tanker reports seeing flying objects in the sky at the time of the explosion. And we now know that the US had at least one MQ-9 Reaper in the area.
