In view of increasing cases of tainted food in China, should Chinese city dwellers go for communal farming?

As the authoritarian government of CCP has been found to be impotent to put a stop to food adulteration that often put the lives of consumers at risk, would it be a good idea that communes were reinvented who would produce all their food items themselves?

*LONG* Are me an my bf of 10 years compatible enough? What do you think our future is?

We all search too long for "the one" and all that stuff instead of appreciating what we have, if you've been with him for 10 years doesnt that say something? thats longer than most modern day relationships. so you may be opposites in many ways, maybe thats what makes you perfect for each other

How to reinvent myself?

Hi :) I am a 14 year old girl...well I turn 15 in early September. I have a real dilemma....everyday at school it feels like everyone is staring at me because I am overweight! I have never had a boyfriend and I am going into Grade 10 next year! I really want to feel included,noticed, and wanted I am around 195 pounds and Im looking to lose 5 pant sizes by September 1st of this year. I also want to recreate my image...if that hasn't helped already lol! I am 5"6 dirty blonde hair and green eyes. I don't want to change my hair colour or wear contacts because people will know Im a fake. I have moved for the summer with my family...so this gives me a chance to focus on me with no distractions. The one thing that woke me up is this guy that only wanted me for sex and when I told him no he insulted me saying I will never change and I will always be a fat loser! I found a quote online saying "The greatest revenge is doing something others say you cant do, so go out and do it!". This self esteem thing is also effecting my singing because last year at my school's talent show I sang well and I got in but I quit because of family reasons and I tried this year but I was so terrified of being judged by my peers I just left the room crying when my voice start shaking during the song. Someday I want to find the courage to become a famous singer. I know some say this is a hopeless dream but I know I have it in me I just need more confidence in myself! this is why I came to you...I want to lose weight, change my image, update my wardrobe, get better make up, etc. I know it seems I am doing this for others but I am doing it for me. It is effecting my dreams and ambitions because I am insecure. Im sorry I was rambling and thank you to those of you who read until the end but the sort of it is. I need new hair tips, make-up tips,various ways to lose weight without equiptment...and Im ok with not eating much cause I've already started that lol, newer more modern wardrobe because I will be thinner closer to the end of the year, and lastly even ways to flirt with a guy that makes you soooo never and tounge tied u wanna cry! LOL Well I think that covered it all so goodnight to everyone who is reading this and I hope I get some responses soon :) P.S If you could put a pin point on how much weight 5 pants sizes (Canadian sizes btw) would be to lose please let me know! P.P.S You're a beautiful person and thank you in advance for all of your help! <3 Please no rude comments because I've had it up to here with you trolls!

I want to reinvent myself?

I am moving to a new state. I just graduated from eigth grade. School starts in the middle of August and I am moving there in the end of June. I want to lose like ten pounds, dress a little different, be more outgoing and make friends..what should I do???

How do I choose my new look?

I'm going to college soon, and I intend to reinvent myself to some extent. Currently, I'm just a huge (wide/tall frame and fat) guy. I wear steel toed shoes, whatever t-shirts I can find that fit, and a lot of black. That's as far as my knowledge of fashion extends, so I need descriptions, visual aides, etc. If you need more details say so.

Have hard feelings towards my Father?

Sweety, your father is a lunatic and should be in the damn mental hospital. You don't nerd counseling, he's the one who needs the counseling. Keep you and your child away from him.

My best friend, my horse.?

i know its hard. Sometimes you just need to let go. Speak to a vet about her chances of a good quality life after this. You have done a lot for the horse already but if you love her so much im sure you understand that a life in constant pain and discomfort is not a quality of life. It might be more mercy to put her down than just waiting for her to die slowly and painfully. Sometimes we can feed them whatever we want but the body of an old horse cannot take up the nutrients of the food as so many of the cells are dying. With all the abcesses it sounds like her body cant fight the environment anymore. Be strong. Just because you arent ready you might be frightened and think she is not ready but it sounds like she is and you are not. Dont let her suffer. I wish you strength. Ive had to make the same decision before.
