What do you guys think about voting for the smaller parties?

melissacus @melissacus (441) • United States 2 Nov 08

My step-dad and I were talking about this awhile ago and he said that voting for a smaller party like "the green party" would basically be like throwing your vote away since they hold no competition with the others. I disagreed....

My boyfriend: The future Sailor.

melissacus @melissacus (441) • United States 2 Nov 08

I'm 19 years old and I've been dating my boyfriend more than 3 years now. We live in a tiny town so it's really difficult to start a life here, especially if you don't have a scholarship for a big college or parents with money....

Uh-oh. The dreaded Prop. 8 debate.

melissacus @melissacus (441) • United States 1 Nov 08

I'm finally an adult and of legal age to vote and I couldn't be more thrilled; especially since this is probably one of the most controversial presidential election in history. It's a crucial time. I heard somewhere that...

How many chances are too many?

melissacus @melissacus (441) • United States 23 Feb 08

I've been with my boyfriend off and on for 3 years. The way I grew up I was taught that men are pigs. They can't be trusted. I've always been afraid to let anybody get too close to me, especially males. When he and I reach a...

melissacus @melissacus (441) • United States 18 Dec 07

I just recently got a piercing in my right nostril. I've only had it a couple days. I got it done at a pretty small, "underground" sort of a place and the guy didn't really specify on the details of how to take care of it. Just...

What makes a cheater?

melissacus @melissacus (441) • United States 18 Dec 07

Is it going behind their partner's back and acting out on something that's forbidden? Or can the thought of cheating be counted as betrayal? A couple months ago I did something that could be called cheating, kissing another guy....

My Christmas visit to prison.

melissacus @melissacus (441) • United States 15 Dec 07

M dad is what society would call a "low-life". He's abusive. He uses drugs. Commits crimes. He has been in prison for I think 5 years now. This is by no means his first time being there. He's been in and out for as long as I can...

Bad girl turned to good

melissacus @melissacus (441) • United States 9 Nov 07

I think it's pretty impossible to not seem hipocrital in one way or another with your views and opinions. I suppose hipocracy is just a part of human nature. I have a friend who recently turned christian. She made a complete 360....

These kind of people piss me off

melissacus @melissacus (441) • United States 27 Jul 07

Okay, so I admit it. I eat meat. Alright? I like steak, I love hamburger and turkey is delicious. But I'm for animal rights. I'm not sure if it sounds hippocritical. But it's true. I'm a member of the humane society and over the...

What's the matter with guys?

melissacus @melissacus (441) • United States 2 May 07

So last night I was at my boyfriends house. We had gotten into a fight earlier that day because he lied about something. Granted, what he lied about wasn't a big thing, but I have a problem with trust, and I felt he had once again...

melissacus @melissacus (441) • United States 8 Mar 07

Sometimes hearing peoples' opinions on certain matters make me quite ashamed to be part of the human race. I don't know what's going on in the world these days. I believe our nation has hit an ultimate low. There are people...
