A bunny, her eyes are taped wide open, and a stinging liquid (Laundry Detergent), is slowly dripped into her open eyes. The test was/is done to see how much laundry detergent is needed, before the animal goes blind, or her eyes are completely burned out. The test showed: Laundry detergent is damaging when splashed into eyes. Really? No way!"
ANIMAL TESTING IS SOO WRONG!!!! If you agree put this on your page

I asked you if I was pretty, you said no. I asked you if I was fat, you said yes of course. I asked you if you wanted to be with me forever, you said no. I asked you if you would cry if I walked away, you said no. I had heard too much, and needed to leave and as I walked away ... you grabbed my arm and asked me to stay. You said, Your not pretty, your beautiful. The only thing about you big, or fat, is your heart. I don't want to be with you forever, I need to be with you forever. And baby, I wouldn't cry if you walked away...I would die.

He gave her 12 roses.11 real and 1 fake and said "Ill' love you untill the last one dies."



So Go Ahead. . .

Dont follow in my footsteps
I run into walls.

I may have a thing for walls

put this on your page if this is true!!! lol

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you' re just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU... The one who turns to his friends and says, thats her...
- unknown

if i has to choose between loving you, and breathing. I would use my last breath to say I LOVE YOU.

Not many girls appreciate nice guys anymore...
And because of this, there are not many left out there...

I guarantee 90% of the men on your page will not re post this cos they care more about their image

If you are a nice guy re post this with "We're a Dying Breed "

If you are a girl that thinks every guy should treat a girl this way
re post this with: "To Every Guy..."

Its sad when people you know become people you knew. When you can walk right past someone like they were never a big part of your life. How you used to be able to talk for hours and now you can barely even look at them.






It hurts so much to love you the way i do, and look at you and realise how much you don't care.



I'm holding on to a dream that won't come true.



When I saw you I was afraid to meet you. When I met you I was afraid to kiss you. When I kissed you I was afraid to love you. Now that I love you, I am afraid to lose you.



The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on.



How lucky I am to have something that makes saying good-bye so hard...



A stiff apology is a second insult. The injured party does not want to be compensated because he has been wronged; he wants to be healed because he has been hurt.

For me, crazy is a loose term. Crazy is when you stare at a pencil and laugh when someone asks you just what you find so interesting about the eraser. Crazy is when you have an hour long sob-fest, then start singing and dancing when your favorite song plays. Crazy is when you do or say a totally random thing, like "do you ever wonder where the eraser bits go?" or start having a thumbwar with yourself (i find that i am a very tough opponent). So if you're crazy, copy this onto your profile\

THINGS NOT TO SAY ON A FIRST DATE
I really don't like this restaurant that much, but I wanted to use this 2-for-1 coupon before it expired.

I used to come here all the time with my ex.

I never said you NEED a nose job. I just said it wouldn't hurt to consider it.

Could you excuse me? My cat gets lonely if he doesn't hear my voice on the answering machine every hour.

I really feel that I've grown in the past few years. Used to be I wouldn't have given someone like you a second look.

And I won that trophy in the inter-fraternity belching contest.

It's been tough, but I've come to accept that most people I date just won't be as smart as I am

THINGS NOT TO SAY DURING CHILD BIRTH

Y’know, looking at her, you’d never guess that Demi Moore had a baby!

Gosh, you’re lucky. I sure wish men could experience the miracle of childbirth.

Do you think the baby will come before Monday Night Football starts?

I hope your ready. The Glamour Shot photographer will be here in fifteen minutes.

If you think this hurts, I should tell you about the time I twisted my ankle playing basketball.

That was the kids on the phone. Did you have anything planned for dinner?

When you lay on your back, you look like a python that swallowed a wild boar.

You don’t need an epidural. Just relax and enjoy the moment.

This whole experience kind of reminds me of an episode from I Love Lucy.

Oops! Which cord was I supposed to cut?

Stop your swearing and just breathe.

Remember what we learned in Lamaze class! HEE HEE HOO HOO. You’re not using the right words.

Your stomach still looks like there’s another one in there.

You don’t have the guts to pull that trigger.

Answer the door dressed as a dentist. Angrily give the trick-or-treaters a two-hour lecture on tooth decay.
Answer the door with a mouthful of M&M’s and several half-eaten candy bars in your hands. Act surprised, and close the door. Open it again in a few seconds, and insist that you don’t have any candy.
Hand out cigarettes and bottles of aspirin.
