You better believe it is. I believe it is one of the hardest forms of abuse to deal with. So many people just sweep it under the rug. And it comes in different packages. You may first think of the man who screams out horrible...

Talravean Heck yeah, I do! It's always frustrating to the point of wanting to tear my own hair off when someone screams at me that I'm not good enough, I shouldn't have done that, why didn't I take that out, did I really have to say that, yada, yada, yada. It really...

I have heard that from lots of caucasians that they feel Asians look very similar, they cannot tell which is from which countries. They all have same facial features, do you agree with that? I am a Asian, we have lots of whites...

Talravean Haha, thanks. =D. And, actually, you're English isn't that bad; I understood what you meant clearly, after all. And for the record, English isn't even my first language =P. Anyway, yeah, I think that's why Indians are Indians and not called Asians. They're...

I was just wondering... They say that someone who is capable of questioning their sanity is obviously not insane. What if someone was abused when young (just something light, not even terribly scarring) but got out of it...

Talravean 4- Yes, actually, that's very helpful. =D. And even though I don't really trust wikipedia, sometimes it's a resourceful site from people all over. And this makes sense, kinda... I get it. Bing consciously aware of something subconscious, I mean. Thanks, sri!...

Talravean Thank you. =D I always try to make my point clear. Anyways, yeah, Indians are just Indians (they're not called Asians, for some reason), but I know India is in Asia, so. Why not join the group, right? =D. ~K~

Okay, I know what you're thinking. Education is always important. But to what extent? Sure, schooling is important, but if a child is someone who isn't academically advanced, is it alright to tell them they should do better? I...

Talravean I didn't say children should waste away their youth playing. I merely stated that, if a child cannot/does not do well in school, isn't it better, then, to focus on what they ARE good at? Instead of pointing and saying, 'Oh, look, he's an idiot. He failed his...

Talravean Aha! That's EXACTLY what I mean. Is it alright for people to dismiss someone who went to a community college and got a degree there when you have someone who has a degree from Harvard?? What's the difference? Just. A. Name. In the end, the work that they'll...

Mine is actually a random name that I think sounds kinda witchy. =P. I made it up a long time ago, at the age when butterflies scared the crap outta me and sugar was the only thing I'd consume willingly. So, what about yours?

Talravean Lol to the first part; I do agree. Who IS Mike44?? =P Anyways, haha, thanks! =D. I DID use to pretend I went on cool quests in magical/mythical places, when I was young (I secretly still do; shh! Don't tell anyone! =P). Your name sounded like your own...

Talravean I never thought of it that way, but you make a lot of sense. =D. I especially agree with that last part; there ARE many ways to one goal. There's not just one road in life. ~K~ PS: I love your style, =P.

Talravean If it were up to me, I wouldn't want to be immortal either. I wouldn't very much enjoy watching everyone I love die around me while I keep on living. ~K~

Talravean Thank you! =D Colleges like Harvard and Cambridge are simply inaccessible to some people but because of that, these people are less respected than those who are capable of going. It's really not right, encouraging something like that. And yes, school IS...

Talravean True, true. I understand where you're coming from. But I'm actually focusing more on the fact that, if someone had only a high school education, should they be ignored when it comes to being accepted for a job in favor of taking someone from, say Harvard or...

Talravean Hehe, sorry if I made it sound offensive to schools. I just meant, if you don't do well, should you be looked down upon because of it? Also, I'm still schooling, actually, and well. One of the reasons I'm asking is BECAUSE of my teachers. Some of them are...
