What is your opinion on this? Ok so my Korean friend showed me this [url=http://omonatheydidnt.livejournal.com/14477167.html?page=1]article where a kpop idol does impressions of white and black people on a variety show[/url] (skip to 14:00). If you read some of the comments, they are seriously harsh and judgmental..I thought her impressions were funny and on point. Yes, they were very stereotypical, but that's the reason why it's so hilarious. It's supposed to be that way, but those people commenting are just getting on her back and tearing at her for being "insensitive" and "racist" when none of what she did was even meant to be offensive. People around me do it all the time for a good laugh, and the way I see it, is us

Mixed signals ugh i just need a place to vent out my thoughts.. so there's this guy I like who i have an elective with. We got paired up a while back for something in that class and ever since then he started randomly saying hi to me whenever he sees me and even if he already said hi the same day. Like he will literally call my name and wave if we're in the same room or if he sees me. He's the type that is really confident and funny (which a lot of girls are attracted to). A while before we were paired up, he voluntarily came to help me on something we were doing individually in class, and also we were sitting in separate groups in circles on the ground one day and we just so happened to be sitting next to each other in different circles, w

To you, what are signs that someone is attracted to you? Now I'm not asking for advice on a crush or anything, but give a set of signs that would make you think that someone likes you and, optionally, give ways that you would use to get closer to a crush. I would feel like someone liked me if he: - glances at me and then turns away really quickly when i look at them - finds reasons to talk to me - helps me a lot and also just one extra question: Are you awkward around someone you're attracted to? I just want to see how each person's views differ or are similar. And serious answers please..there are too many trolls on basil lol.

Gossip Girl Ok so I know that Gossip Girl has ended for a while and it's sorta old news now, but i recently decided to finish watching it and I reaallllly was hoping that Serena would get back together with Nate. Well, of course she ended up with Dan (who I thought should have ended up with Vanessa or something), and I was really devastated. So who do you ship Serena with more: Nate or Dan? Lily and Rufus staying separated was sorta a shock for me too.. And I think I cried the most throughout Blair and Chuck's relationship.

Being behind in a class So my sister, who's in 9th grade, is in Algebra I. She took pre- algebra in 8th grade while most people took Algebra that time. So now, the typical 9th grader is in geometry while she's in Algebra I. Her math isn't bad ( I've seen her tests and quizzes and she has maintained an A for the whole year). She has the option of taking summer school and paying a whopping $600 for both semesters of geometry. So she really regrets not taking Algebra I in 8th grade. The main worry that she told me about is that if she doesn't take summer school, and just stays behind in a math course for the rest of her high school years, that colleges won't like it and have a less chance of accepting her. My advice was to just ask the counsel

Is it just me or. Is it just me, or...do people who use "lmao" a lot, or any abbreviations with a cuss word in it, come off as really rude to you? I'm used to people swearing 24/7, but on the internet, when they add a "lmao" to their comments, I just feel immense dislike towards them, even though I know that most of the time it's just habit for them or they don't really mean it in an offensive way. I mean..why not just use "lol", which is simpler and shorter?

What to top whipped cream with I've always loooveed whipped cream, and so today I bought two cans of them. The only thing is is that I don't really have much at home..barely any fruits, no ice cream, no cake/pie... I do have yogurt, cereal, and pears. I might have some other fruit in the fridge, but too lazy to check atm. I'm planning on buying some bananas this weekend just so I can use the whipped cream. So what are your suggestions on foods to use whip cream on? I know the basics: pie, fruit, cake, ice cream. And please....no kinky suggestions..

Good google play apps I get bored really easily and so i'm looking for any app from google play that is a good time waster/ is beneficial (EX: I discovered that you can make flashcards with an app, which saved me tons of index cards for tests and stuff, yipee). I'd also prefer if the app doesn't require internet service, but if it's awesome enough, I won't care. Oh and I really like those interactive games like 'choose-your-story' type thing where you are the character and get to control him/her and see how the story turns out. So far, I've only found a few called "Shall we date" where you're a damsel-in-distress and this hot guy comes around and as the story progresses, you two fall in love. It's pretty lame. Here are some of my

Picture of a dog So in art we have a project coming up involving dogs. I think it's called the "dog show"? Something like that. I'm looking for a really vivid and eye catching picture of a dog with decent scenery/background, and I will be doing it with prismacolor pencils. So, if any of you have a picture or are willing to waste your time looking for one for me, I will be very grateful. If you suggest a picture that I like and choose to draw, then I will present the result to you through a picture when I am done with the drawing (will take a few weeks considering I will be doing it mainly at school). Also, I know some of you guys are wondering: how good of a drawer is she? Well, all things considered, I'm a pretty good drawer. Tha

How to communicate the message that. I'm not interested in someone? I have a friend, who is a boy, who is a grade above me and I'm really getting the vibes that he might have a crush on me. We have been friends for a few months and we used to talk a lot until I started talking to him less on purpose so that I wouldn't give him ideas. Well, recently he texted me and just started the kind of conversation where you have to reply or else you feel bad (or maybe it's just me). I don't dislike him, but I really hate giving him hope, and then if he actually does turn out to like me, rejecting him. So basically how do I NICELY communicate the message that I am not interested in him in that kind of way? Thanks for the help :)

French help This is for people who know how to speak French, or are currently learning. I have a french project where we have to make a family tree (we also have to present it in front of the class). I'm having a few problems pronouncing some numbers and also writing sentences. Here are what I need some help on: 1. Saying/writing in word form 45, 37, 84, 76, 34, 42, and 49. <<<lol bad at pronouncing numbers higher than 29 :3 2. How do you say "I like to eat cake"? is it J'aime manger gateau? With the upside down v on the a. 3. Also how to say "she likes going to the park". I know it's Elle aime .... I would use google translate, but I'm scared it will give me wacky things lol. Thanks! ****edit: 76.

Android Screen Keeps Dimming Ok so I have an android phone that dims after 10 seconds of inactivity (which gets super annoying when trying to read something). I went to the settings and toyed with every single option to try to solve my problem. I changed my lock time to 30 min, but the screen still went dimmer after 10 seconds. My display is also NOT on auto brightness. I also went through the play store and searched online for apps that could solve this problem, but to no avail. So does anyone know of a free solution/app that can prevent my screen from dimming, or an app that can let me adjust the amount of time before the screen dims for Android? Thanks :)
