Tour France's Cave Homes » Why Travel To France

Open Question: Bored because my mom won’t let me do anything?
Alright, I’ve been bored with my life for the past five years. Basically, I go to school, come home, eat, do homework (maybe), eat, and then go to bed. My hobbies are reading and drawing and they are great, but I much rather be outside doing things. However, I’m not allowed to go anywhere. I’m 16 and I still have to tell my mom if I’m going out in our front lawn. It doesn’t matter if I do all my chores and homework, she still refuses to let me go anywhere. Just today I asked her i I could sleep in the tent in our lawn. (I just like it.) She says ‘No’, I say ‘Why?” and she says she doesn’t want to think about it and goes back to her stupid face-book. I’m not allowed to go down to the river by my house because I’ll get raped, ha ha. Anyone know what I should do? Should I just go ahead and do whatever I want?
It comes down to:
1. disobeying and being happy
or
2. Laying around getting fat and miserable but listening to my mom
Voting Question: paper questions. is it good?
Count how many electronic devices you own. Now count how many of those you use on a daily bases. Now think about where all of the power to run those items comes from. As simple as it is, many Americans never think about where the power to run their personal gadgets, there only worry is about how big the bill is going to be at the end of the month. The truth is, Americans are the ones who need to think about energy consumption the most, because America uses far more energy per capita than any other nation in the world. This is because we have more money to burn, and we are completely energy dependent. If we want out world to continue to thrive, we as Americans are going to have to start using less energy as a whole and building more ways to reduce dependencies on oil and other unrenewable, dirty resources. The purpose of this paper is to inform the public about the salvations and pitfalls of different sources of renewable energy and the dangerous we will face if we don’t switch to it.
•Wind
Wind is great renewable resource; in this section of my paper I will outline the pros and cons of wind energy.
Wind is energy is completely clean, inexpensive to build, and produces a reasonable power output. However, wind energy can only work efficiently in areas where there is a more or less constant wind. Wind energy works the best in places like California where there is mountain ranges where valleys get constant wind blowing through them. Wind energy does work in Iowa though, mostly you will see wind farms on hills, but if you’ve ever seen an old farm it is most likely that they had wind energy! Wind energy is very old; it in the 18th century to pump water.
•Solar
Solar energy is one of my favorite sources of energy. It can be mounted on a roof to create clean power all through the day. Solar energy has several dehabilitating pitfalls though. Solar energy creates enough power to easily run a home, but it creates most of the energy when the occupants aren’t actually home. So a solar panel will run your appliances such as your fridge for free, but in the evening when you get home, turn on all the lights, and the sun is down, solar panels aren’t going to do you any good. So in order to combat this problem, solar panels would have to have batteries, this is completely possible, but unfortunately the batteries would have to be quite big, and very costly to replace once they stopped holding a charge. Solar energy would be great for the Midwest and other less populated areas but in order for solar energy to power places like New York City, you’re going to have to convince Montana to give up half their land for sole solar panel use for the “greater good”.
•Water Power and hydrogen power.
Water power is another very old renewable resource; it was use thousands of years ago to turn big wheels that were dipped in rivers to grind things up. Water power today is more tuned towards dams; dams make good energy, but they harm the environment more than any other renewable resource. Building dams causes the area in front of the dam to flood, resulting in loss of habitat for many an animal. Hydrogen power would be absolutely awesome if we had a source of pure hydrogen closer than the sun to harvest from. The only practical use for hydrogen energy is to use excess energy from solar panels to transform water into hydrogen; this may be a substitute for batteries for solar panels.
•Nuclear energy
In my mind this is the energy that has the potential to save humanity. Nuclear energy puts out tremendous amounts of power and has only a little waste. The main problem with nuclear energy is idiots who are terrified of being saved by it because it might “blow up”. Other problems include: the storage of the small amount of byproduct, eventually we will run out of Uranium (not a pressing problem), and nuclear plants take a long time to build even if they were to pushed through to build immediately, which never happens. German is currently 80% dependent on Nuclear energy and I think we need to follow their lead.
In conclusion, we as people have a responsibility to protect the world and to protect ourselves. In order to accomplish this we need to move forward and invest heavily in completely renewable resources, and stop popping out kids. As previously stated, I believe nuclear power will be our salvation, but we need to invest in all renewable resources; wind energy for California, solar for the Midwest, hydro for places with large rivers, and nuclear for the New Yorkers.
Voting Question: am i insane, or am i sane?
i know that no one over the internet can make a diagnosis, but can you please tell me if i need to get help or not, or what you think might be happening.
these are the reasons i think i might be insane
i have very extreme mood swings. one minute im happy and very energetic and then the next im very deppressed for no reason.
i have very bad anger issues. ill punch people and threaten them with a knife if they make me mad. i got kicked out of 2 schools that way.
i wear strange things in public. i like to wear almost nothing, wich i dont see anything wrong with. for example, i like to wear a thigh length blue tube top and fishnet tights without unerwear. i once wore that to church. i screamed at the person who talks on stage at church when he told me to change. i said “fuck you! burn in hell!” and i was dragged out of there.
i have outbursts of anger, crying, and screaming in public.
i do wierd things in public, i once was at an indoor swimming pool and took my bikini top off and punched a person who worked there when he told me to leave.
i talked in a fake southern accent and asked a person who worked at superstore where the books were. she showed me where they were. i then screamed at her and tried to punch her because she stepped on my foot.
at a park where i walk at alot i took off my shorts and just wore a tight silk pajama shirt and underwear and boots. i threw my shorts in the river and was thrown in the car by my parents.
i burst out crying in a restraunt five minutes after laughing at a joke.
i get headaches alot, i dont know if that has anything to do with this or not.
at times i feel overconfident and happy and anxious and do wierd things cuz of it. i talk in fake voices and open car doors whent hey are moving, i did drugs and drank to deal with stress. i emotionally overeat, wich caused extreme weight gain.
i am shy in public exept for when i feel overconfident. i am scared of peoples intentions when they talk to me. i wonder if they are gonna laugh at me behind my back or plan to ruin my life.
i used to hear voices telling me to do things. i am a very skilled liar and sometimes make stories, and tell my friends and family them and watch the scenes unfold. i regret it, but yet i dont care about hurting them.
i worry alot that people are gonna ruin my life. i used to be close to these two people, and now im plotting ways to ruin them. my mind is racing and i have no quiet in my mind. the sleep that i miss i dont even notice. i have to count to the number 39 always. i burst into histericall laughter and cry for no reason.
i have extreme anxiety and stress. one time when i came home at night with my parents, i thought the house was broken into, and that we were gonna die that night.
after my fifth mental hospitalization i hide my emotions. im taking truehope medicine, but its not working. all this stuff is coming back. and worse. i tried to hang myself and drown myself many times. i took a knife to school and tried to slice my wrists in front of the whole class. i was kicked out. i tried to convince the prinipal to let me stay in school, i said stuff to him (that im not gonna repeat here) to let me stay. it didnt work. i feel like im breaking down and im trying to hide it, but i get so moody that i cant take it. because im not 18 i cant do what i want, i hate that my parents control me, but im only a young teen, i cant make my own decisions. but i hate it.
i stay up at night, and hardly get any sleep.
i have 3 personalities, and each one is completley differint.
when i was six, i had a very traumatic year. i was almost raped, parents divorced, i began hearing voices. at 6 fucking years old!
ever since then i was never the same. my parents say even when i was a baby i had no in between mood. i was either super happy, or very very sad.
i talk to myself in the mirror, pretend im someone else. i once thought i was the queen, and then i thought i was britney spears. i then thought i was in danger and needed to leave the country. i did stuiped things at a young age. i had sex when i was barley 9. actually, on my ninth bithday. because of my hard life when i was really young i had to grow up fast. now i want to be 7 years oold again, and have a normal childhood. and im only 13. i have fights every day. i was pregnant and lost my baby 2 months ago.
im so scared, what is wrong with me? i dont wanna break down again, but i dont know how to stop this. the pills im on dont work, i feel lost, scared and confused.
i know you cant diagnose me, but what do you think is wrong, because this cant be normal. i dont think i have a problem, but im not happy.
what do you think?
