Resolved Question: Is this a good self esteem speech?
Self Esteem
First I’d like to say that you will most likely disagree with a lot that I’ll be talking about right now. That’s ok, I’m not asking you to agree only to consider my points and make a decision based on your own consciousness and reasoning.
In our current society a lot of people lack self esteem, they cover it up with false persona’s and false reasoning. You can see it around when you walk on the street, a sure sign of low self esteem is a face that looks the life has drained away from it. A sure sign of low self esteem is a person who lives in ever lasting misery while telling everyone around them there life is great.
It’s a plague right now and the cure is simple yet difficult to follow. Personally I’ve had many instances where I break my own rules and in turn suffer.
But first what is Self Esteem? Self Esteem as defined by the dictionary is;
Pride in oneself or Self-respect
The simple solution to increase self esteem is to rely on no other judgement than your own. To allow nobody to determine the path you wish to walk. That is where Self Esteem arises from.
The hint is hidden in the dictionary, Pride in oneself. This pride can only ever come if you are the sole person with all the responsibility. In this day and age society takes up responsibility. People must be saved from themselves whenever possible, they can’t take care of themselves this seems to imply.
Responsibility is considered a burden, something to bear and painfull. It’s a place where stress arises from. The image that comes to mind is atlas carrying the world on his shoulders, being responsible for everyone. The only time responsibility is a burden is when you are taking responsibility for other people's lifes. When you take responsibility solely for your own life it becomes a source of joy, joy of knowing that YOU are in control of your life. Not society, not your parents, not your peers. YOU are the only one responsible for YOUR life. And from that pride and joy arises because you KNOW that all your achievements are yours alone.
If you wish to be able to respect yourself then you must live by your own code of value’s. You must obey your own Code that you aquired through reasoning. You are not a slave to what others tell you, you are a free person, free to chose whatever you wish.
And from this self respect and pride will come, self esteem wil return and your life will take on a new direction.
Low self esteem arises when you compromise your own value’s to please other people. The result in most cases is that both suffer, there self esteem is lowered because you assumed responsibility over there life and your self esteem is lowered because you did not follow the things you value.
Lets assume the responsibility to cure our low self esteem, lets start healing ourselves right now. Lets stop giving away responsibility like it’s a burden, lets accept it fully and enjoy its presence. This is your birthright, nobody can take it away from you unless you allow them to.
At this time and age where we are constantly bombarded with advertising designed to unconsciously take away the responsibility of chosing how to spend your money. In this time and age where society as a whole is more then willing to assume responsibility.
This ability to take responsibility for yourself is more important then ever before.
Lets be the ones who assume responsibility and walk with a head held up high. Lets be the ones with a impeccable self esteem. Proud of our abilities. Proud of our minds. Proud of living on this beautifull planet.

moreResolved Question: why do people commit white collar crimes?
Here are some definations of white collar crimes below.
1.By the type of offense, e.g. property crime, economic crime, and other corporate crimes like environmental and health and safety law violations. Some crime is only possible because of the identity of the offender, e.g. transnational money laundering requires the participation of senior officers employed in banks. But the Federal Bureau of Investigation has adopted the narrow approach, defining white-collar crime as "those illegal acts which are characterized by deceit, concealment, or violation of trust and which are not dependent upon the application or threat of physical force or violence" (1989, 3). Because this approach is relatively pervasive in the United States, the record-keeping does not adequately collect data on the socioeconomic status of offenders which, in turn, makes research and policy evaluation problematic. While the true extent and cost of white-collar crime are unknown, it is estimated to cost the United States more than $300 billion annually, according to the FBI.
2.By the type of offender, e.g. by social class or high socioeconomic status, the occupation of positions of trust or profession, or academic qualification, researching the motivations for criminal behavior, e.g. greed or fear of loss of face if economic difficulties become obvious. Shover and Wright (2000) point to the essential neutrality of a crime as enacted in a statute. It almost inevitably describes conduct in the abstract, not by reference to the character of the persons performing it. Thus, the only way that one crime differs from another is in the backgrounds and characteristics of its perpetrators. Most if not all white-collar offenders are distinguished by lives of privilege, much of it with origins in class inequality.
3.By organizational culture rather than the offender or offense which overlaps with organized crime. Appelbaum and Chambliss (1997, 117) offer a twofold definition:
4.Occupational crime which occurs when crimes are committed to promote personal interests, say, by altering records and overcharging, or by the cheating of clients by professionals.
5.Organizational or corporate crime which occurs when corporate executives commit criminal acts to benefit their company by overcharging or price fixing, false advertising, etc.
moreResolved Question: Heineken mini keg, 19.7 standard drinks, false advertising?
The heineken mini keg claims to be 19.7 standard drinks...
A standard drink for beer can be defined as 341 ml or 12 oz of beer or cooler (5% alcohol).
However, when dividing the volume of the keg, by volume of a standard drink, you don't get this.
5000ml/341ml = 14.66 beer.
Is this false advertising, or is my conclusion incorrect?
moreResolved Question: Should I report this store to yahoo for fraud????
I ordered an Unlocked 8GB Apple Iphone 3G from supersaleprice.com a store on yahoo shopping and they shipped the wrong phone. I called the merchant and he told me that his supplier is telling him that I am scamming him because I got what I ordered, which is a lie because like I said I ordered an unlocked 8GB Apple iphone 3G which is what he advertises on his site and I received a A88 but when I talked to him he says " we don't even sell an A88" and calls it a G3. But anyway he offered me $200 of my $450 back or he would send me another product that cost $450. I call my mother to tell what has happened and what he offered to do, she calls him and gets him to agree to send me $200 then I send him the phone I received then he would send me the other $250(I asked for this in writing through e-mail) and he was going to e-mail the address that I am supposed to send the phone to. But I have not received any money or the address.
This guy advertises the phone has unlocked Apple iPhone 3G 8GB and has the videos from YouTube of the commercials for the new iphone & has all the specs for the iphone 3G, also I have the e-mails that has been sent/received which in one he even calls it a "iphone 3G", Then I have my order conformation with the order number that also says Unlocked Apple Iphone 3G 8GB, And I have all the pictures that I have taken of the iclone that he asked for me to send to him.
Fraud is defined by yahoo as:
Paying for an item that is not received
or
Receiving an item that is materially different than what is described. which is what happend to me.
This guy basically just had false advertising and screwed me over and This has all happened yesterday and I explained to him is that all I want is my money back or the iphone I ordered. Should I wait another day or let him know that if he does not comply with the agreement I will report him to yahoo. Thanks.
here is a link to the site he still advertising as unlocked Apple iphone 3G 8GB. scroll down you'll see it.
http://www.supersaleprice.com/it was $450 when I purchased it from them he just recently raised the price.

I know customers like to say that a product was found ontop of a sign that says 60$. However, the sign might say for example panasonic dvd player 2007 when the product that is sitting ontop is actually a panasonic dvd player 2008.
moreResolved Question: What does a 'slutty' woman dress or look like? Why dress 'sexy' if you are not advertising sex??
In western society, I think they are the ones who expose more of their bodies than most women would feel comfortable with, or that is 'necessary'. Why do most of them get angry if a man assumes they can easily be coerced into performing a sexual act? The way I see it is "if you wear the uniform, why shouldn't others think you also perform the job". (I'm not insinuating that they should be forced) If I were a man and wore a tuxedo, why should people think that I worked at a car wash? We as humans have always defined ourselves by the way we dress and present ourselves to others, and for most humans (with eyesight), many mating signals/cues are visual. If you don't mean to advertise that, then what other reasons do you have to give men (and other women) the wrong message/ impression? Isn't that false advertising? Isn't it selfish to make others feel uncomfortable in your presence?
*btw* I think it's hilarious when an offender gets defensive!What about the families who are exposed to you when you are out in public?Mac Momma...sounds like an offender to me..not everyone who goes to church is 'saved'. *smiles*A 'sexy' woman is 'sexy' no matter what she wears. Dressing 'sexy' is just drawing attention away from your flaws.. maybe like your face? or your intelligence? Just a thought..Car wreck! Good analogy!Kitten: What stores are the young ladies, you are acquainted with, shopping at??
I agree about the media's influence though, especially on the naive or weak minded.Coolmom..what you wrote is pure rubbish! Respect is earned, it is a privilege not a right. If I just met you on the street, and every other word you said to me was a curse word, WHY should I respect you if you have no respect for me? Same with being overtly sexual. Those who dress as such make the majority of others who are exposed to them in public uncomfortable. If a woman is wearing a skirt so short, (that her panties can be seen if she does not carefully monitor her movements) and is in public, (like the mall, where there are children) WHAT RESPECT IS SHE GIVING THE PARENTS OF TEENS OR CHILDREN? WHAT RESPECT IS SHE GIVING LITTLE CHILDREN? WHAT RESPECT IS SHE GIVING OTHER WOMEN WHO FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE WITH HER STYLE OF DRESS? Would it be that much of a stretch to say that she is not very respectful of others and their reactions? What 'right' does she have to EXPECT 'respect'? What about the men who's mind she is 'toying' with? What respect is she giving them? None...
