Seems the Amanda todd Story has a wikipedia on her. Suicide of Amanda Todd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Her story has gained global attention to cyber bulling and its devastating effects. Even after death, horrible comments are made by trolls and bullies about her that the family has kept open as a memorial current at 10,000,000 hits as of Oct 11th. Suicide of Amanda Todd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Last year, English parliament created a law that all existing and new Facebook users provide ID information before opening up a account. This would take away the chanced the new user can post anonymously without accountability. I hope Canada and the US governments do the same. -
I am sure there are some forums that will discuss this. If you are not happy with the doctor, ever thought of switching doctors?

She was pushy asking for a diagnosis of her car without even looking at it, then asking for the total price. She said her OTHER mechanic 30 minute drive from her said "I can tell you what the car is doing and not even looking at and I am always right over vs what the dealerships will tell you" At that point..I knew where this was going so...without hesitation I said, "Well, looks like your other mechanic will just continue doing business with you" She said but but but... Cars are hideously complex and no way can a car be diagnosed over the phone. This is why us technicians spend thousands of dollars in test tools. In your case, did you warn him that doing business with him was causing issues? Some times you have to fire a customer because he/she is costing you more time and money then making a profit.

There are 16 distinct personalities the general population fall under for Career direction. The Myers Briggs Type Indicator test is to help you understand what Career works best for your personality type. For example, I am a INTJ type personality. You can look that up. I am not total INTJ, I do have a heart at times but INTJs are known to be cold as well as brilliant. If there are no local Myers Briggs test taking classes in your area, take a look at The Myers & Briggs Foundation Good luck

Getting fed up and really considering going inactive

I think Judo said it right there. "Difficult habits to break". I would not be to judgmental after all, I have encountered members in my ward who were...and I ALMOST left! When I immigrated from United States to Canada, the ward was having some real issues. The bishop was not doing as good a job. New bishop was appointed "Great guy!!!" and now, its better then ever :) -

Most teens turn a blind eye. I remember once, walking around the corner of the hallways with lockers. Here, stood a 6 foot jr high school kid, who had a freshman in a headlock being hit by his fist. I was in shock. All these other kids just stood there and watched as this smaller freshman was getting assaulted. I almost feel like taking on this other 11th grader but he was much bigger then me. I found out, that this freshman was mouthing off to him and I guess the 11th grader had it. As for the Amanda Todd story going nation wide. The more about this story, the more it gets darker. A Pedifile in the united states was sending her half naked photo to all her friends up here in BC. She moved schools, and the same bulling happened to her in the new school. WOW how dark can cyber bulling be? Anyway, They local authorities in the US are trying to find and charge this suspect but he has disappeared. You can read the story below. People, always watch what your kids are doing in social media sites. Its a dangerous world out there. MPs to debate anti-bullying motion in wake of Amanda Todd suicide, but can we legislate being nice? | Daily Brew - Yahoo! News Canada -
More then food storage. What about the other every day items we need? I hear food storage alot, but no toiletries mentioned?

Only reason I ask, is because the main news paper vancouversun.com had a article of a Port Coquitlam teenager commit suicide. The article went nation wide and was on cnn.com. Bullied Canadian teen leaves behind chilling YouTube video - CNN.com If you attended a high school that was mostly LDs youth, did you by chance see or experience bullying?

Read this story and wonder, when the madness of printing money to pay the debt interest and the government is going to stop. Economist Richard Duncan: Civilization May Not Survive 'Death Spiral' - Money Morning Which bears in mind, how many of you can live for a year without a job or income? I know this sounds pretty terrible but it did happen in 1929 and it can happen again.

I guess there was a party in my dorm and a drunk PJ crawled into my room once looking for the bathoom. I said, "you could have knocked". He was a hunk of a big guy as they usually are. IF you do not know what a PJ is, they are the Superman of the USAF equal in strength and stamina of a US Navy Seal. I said, "sure go a head, its at that door" but in no means did I become a paranoid idiot like that drunk woman, and attack him with a weapon. US is to much a gun happy country. This story does remind me once, of a Japanese student who mistaken the wrong house for a friends house and was dressed up as elvis? was shot on the lawn because he was received as being a threat.

I can perhaps think of a dozen names. He wont be remembers much by the general population who knows him if he has a run of the mill boring name. Do what you think is right and if the mom has a problem with it, to bad.

lds2, the reason why europe has been experiencing colder then usall winters, is because of the great ice melt off of the arctic, Greenland and Iceland. The fresh cold water is circulating in the Atlantic which is having a strong affect on the weather in Europe. Think of the arctic as the northern hemisphere air conditioner. If you put the AC aka, water melt, into the Atlantic, it will cool the Atlantic air and trade winds will push that into Europe. 2/3 of the plant is coveted by water. Majority of coastal countries weather are affected by oceanic water temperatures. Im afraid, if most of the arctic is ice free, global droughts and famine in the northern hemisphere will follow.

Corn aka, sucrose is in almost every food and is a sugar substitute. But it is also responsible for the obesity problem in the US. Corn is used to feed cows. If cows are not killed off, then maybe, we don't need to use as much corn to feed the older animals that eat less then a growing calf. -
idahommie, I know, we have one in our ward. He was tough and onry and a failing marriage years ago before he joined. He got up and spoke his testimony and it was indeed very moving. He has a nice and interesting personality :) People can change...but they have to reflect on the outside looking at what they have done in there life to get them to that point of wrecking there life and doing something about it by asking god for help.

Easy answer is to just take the salt out of the kitchen :)

Tempted to make my own site but thats about it. BTW, long long time ago, I had two missionaries visit me. they gave me what was a book of mormon "I forget if it really was". They visited again, they said if I read the book and said I misplaced it. It was in my house but did not know where it was. They looked a little angery. I said I am sorry, but do not have the time to talk right now and so they left. I think that was the reorganized church down the street. The funny thing is, I never ever once in my life, heard the term Mormon or LDS in my life. I was 24 at the time when they visited. I even passed though salt lake city on my way to a military base in New Mexico. Drove to some ornate building near the Cities capital and visited some museum. Inside where to young 20 something year old attendant with black badges on. The young girl said to another visitor "can I help you for something?" the young male attendant said to her "Did you know he was a 70 member?". She was so embarrassed. I had NO CLUE what they were talking about, because, I never knew what a Mormon was. This shows that even if you are in Mormon land, if you have not be teached what LDS is all about, and are flooded with wrong information about the faith, you have then made up your mind. BTW, I want to put some info in that 4x4 forum the POWERFUL things the church as done such as flying a 747 with emergency goods to the the Tsunami stricken areas of Sumatra Indonesia. Can anyone here make some powerful statements about the church how they have helped mankind in disasters that are NON arguable?

I happen to be part of a 4x4 forum and help many with automotive mechanical issues since I own a 4x4. There are times, the guys really stoop to low and are mean, crewl and so on. We have a sweet female member who will chastise the guys for there behavior. But this is what made my blood boil. It has to do with that stupid theatrical "Book or Mormon" that is going from city to city. I never knew just how awful the show portrays the faith until one of forum users were quoting the parts of it and laughing out loud. I was thinking to my self, does he really believe this act at real ? or is he making fun of our faith by the presentation? Am I over reacting? I feel like ripping into him but now, I am really disappointed in him, and others making fun of the topic. If I were to say something that is a powerful message to this forum user, what should I say ? or should I forget about it?

Ever see the movie "Shallow Hal?" If not, go watch it. I think he is being Shallow hal. Second, His past behavior is indicative of his future behavior. -
I am sure it would be interesting. I think there would have to be a vote of those who would be interested in playing one common game?. I have never played any game online. Closest thing was some VR social but was not impressed with language of the participants.

Yes if that is possible, we will be the aliens who invade another planet with McDonald's Marketing managers on board!

Analasys of speech and body language says a lot about some one if you know what to look for. In law enforcement, it is used to discern a law abiding citizen to some one who may be overly evasive when asked various questions. I have been scammed before so now know what to look for.

I never have but wondering if there are good ones that may allow chat and also, are not boring I would not mind jeprody type of games.

of course, its concealed and did not tell anyone. Would not surprise me he has one until half way though the family function. I just think there are times, when its not appropriate and that was one of them. Brother is not into family functions as others. Loves hunting to much he was ticked that he would have to cancel when get together Christmas was on Christmas day. He does security work at the hospital and I think he carries a weapon.

All I can say is WOW if that was ever possible. Just like what was written in the article, the energy used would have to be the same as the energy in the gasses of Jupiter. BTW, the top Physicist were to confirm this discovery and build a ship to travel to another habitable planet, the aliens may ask...what took you so long to travel here?? We visited your planet 5 thousand years ago!
