Question by kai is not amused: Why isn’t Demi Lovato in “So Random”?
I mean I hated Sunny with a Chance XD, but I was watching So Random one day and she wasn’t there. I got to say…her not being there isn’t a bad thing. But why? did Disney fire her because of her new “image”?

Best answer:

Answer by Nickaboo
She had some self-image issues and went to rehab for some undisclosed reason. Afterward, she didn’t feel comfortable in front of a camera still so she’s trying to focus on music. Something like that. I only know this because my cousins freaked out at me when I said I thought she did drugs 😛

Question by dc w: Ways to convince my parents not to send me into rehab?
Im 19 y/o I have a job, in college and have my own car that I bought with my own money, some of my friends smoke pot and often when I am around them they offer me hits for free. I almost never buy my own and never bring the stuff home or come home high out of respect for my parents and there house. My mom has been suspecting that I smoked for awhile and straight out asked me today. I told her the truth that I sometimes smoke and that its not a big deal she freaked out and basically told me im going to be kicked out if I don’t go to rehab right away. I see no reason for this, I am not addicted and it changes my life in no way. Can anyone give me some tips for calming her down? Thanks

P.S. please don’t call me an idiot or tell me im going to die from smoking pot, that’s simply not true and if you think that please do your research.

Question by wethefolks14: Is our judicial sytem fair?
If so how? If not, then why no outcry?

Best answer:

Answer by eldude
It’s not fair. There are lots of things that play into ‘justice’ including race and income. Both of those things are both used for and against people of all walks. It’s weird and inconsistent. It’s not perfect but it’s not bad I think. There are lots of checks and balances in the justice system to help people avoid being screwed over by the system. But still, people get screwed often.
Justice is not blind though when it should be.

Answer by rickinnocal
Pretty much, yes.

There are problems, but on the whole it’s mostly fair.
