It's been accepted that passive smoking is just as dangerous as active smoking. If someone smokes around me, can I sue him/her for attempted murder/manslaughter because he/she endangers my life? If not, why not?

No, I'm not stupid and this is a serious question.

Serious answers please, giving your thoughts about this. Thanks heaps.

The dictionary says Repression is the unconscious exclusion of painful impulses, desires, or fears from the conscious mind. I'm not really sure what that means. Can someone explain it to me in more detail and provide some examples of how one might be repressed??? Thanks.

When it comes to things like mood disorders, or suicidal ideaology, or addictions, etc... why ask people on the net? Most of the people are just on here reading these questions waiting to respond with A**hole answers, which aren't gonna make you feel any better about your situation, it'll actually probably make you feel worse. Don't get me wrong, I applaud anyone who finally has the strength to admit that they see something may be a little "off", that takes courage, but this isn't the place that's best for you. For addictions, even gambling and shopping (I've seen both), there is help out there- addiction specialists. They're not just for drugs/alcohol. Gambler's anonymous comes to mind readily. If you are thinking of suicide, please seek out the help of a trusted friend, family member, school counselor, employee program (a lot of jobs have people for employees to speak to now), therapist, or community center, if you don't have insurance. e-mail me if you want as well I have exp. peace

There are people on here that are twice as smart as world leaders.
When are those guys going to start soliciting for answers?

I realise this is another one of those ridiculous questions that you all resent. But admit it, you secretly want to post similar stupid questions.

Alright, bring on the resentful answers....

Most creative and/or humorous answer will be rewarded with 10 points.

What needs does religion serve, what function does it perform, that it is such a ubiquitous feature in human culture? In all its myriad forms and varied (sometimes contradictory) beliefs, why is it found everywhere people are or have been? Is the tendency to religious belief actually a defining characteristic of being a human?

Is not life but a dream of the person who dreams it? Would not the illusion reach out to the dreamer seeking to establish that life exists independently of that illusion?

I have these nightmares sometimes twice a week. Ive never been in one or seen one, so they don't really concern me, because I don't experience them where I live. But in my dream I am so terrified that I have woken up crying and gasping for air. Any clues?

He broke up with me for the second time and I still love him. I am now thinking about his brother, who shows nothing but interest in me. It feels wrong to consider this, and if it is right, how can I shake the feeling that something might happen again between me and my ex? Help!
