Say you and I make eye contact for the first time across a crowded room. I walk over to you and introduce myself. What is the one thing I could say to you to make you want to leave with me or give me your phone number?

As in The Serenity Prayer..... "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference" how can I expect from others what I cannot do myself?

Bono's question calls for EACH person to change their own personal behavior and thus consider what effect their actions have on others. I know that I have never had to do without. Therefore self-denial is called for in my case. However my parents did without as in the depression years and so practiced a kind of survival basic of "me first" and then they held back from excess.

Today all of us seem to be confused and have become obssessed with things, stuff and excess.

Other places in the world are so lacking that some have decided the only way to survive is to kill others. This is insanity gone beserk! In killing we are killing our own spirits. It matters not that I did not personally do the killing. I am guilty by the fact that I am ignoring injustice.

I am just looking for correlations between the amount of money a person has and other aspects of his/her life. For example, a rich person is believed to have less children (on average) than a poor person. I am looking for scientific evidence mostly, but opinions are also welcome. Thanks!

Let's say that we're in the future and this space ship leaves earth to inhabit another planet.All the people that left with the ship all spoke English,after two hundred years the ancestors of these people return to Earth.In these two hundred years there was no communication between the two planets.Now these people that came back to Earth would their language be a bit different from what is spoken on earth?
I would say some words would change thru time.About you?

Let's say you get 20 answers to a question with some kind of twist. How many answers will hint that there is a developed intellect lurking in the region of the keyboard?

Poverty is a never ending condition. There will always be poverty unless we are in another world

I ask this because most people live a repetitive daily life or repetitive yearly life with no surprises, no exciting things to do, no exciting things to change, blaming others for our problems of lack of luck, etc. Why can't we live a life where we know we are going to die sooner or later and do something about it? Why won't we crave for a higher level of living instead of just exiting? Why we think we are better depending on the country we were born but that doesn't mean we are the happiest than people in any other country in the world?

Sometimes I don't apply for high-level jobs that technically speaking, I am qualified for, because I have a sense of not being "good enough." I don't submit articles to profitable markets for the same reason.

Our economy is slowing, but energy prices are rising.

I think the Federal Reserve forgot to look at the big picture.

China and India are buying light crude at any price to feed their growing economies. In a slumping economy the U.S. may consume less oil, but the developing countries production outweigh the U.S. consumer demand. It may take years for the developing countries to slow down in producing its goods. The global demand for cheap goods is strong. The U.S. may purchase less of these goods in a bogged down economy but some one is always there to take its place. Times have changed and the strength of the United States economy is weakening.

Example: is a taoist from China going to hell even though he has never had any chance to get into contact with christianism?

I believe this extreme position is rare, but I've seen it repeatedly.

Is there any literature about it?

Thanx
