How do I teach myself to be a better critical thinker? How do I learn to question more often and to ask better questions? Any advice on learning this skill would be appreciated. Thank you!

Even though both my mother and father have passed on, I still feel anger about their alcoholism and their refusal to get into recovery. I used to be angry about the state taking me away from them...but now, after years and years, I see it differently. Had I been allowed to stay, I would not have the life and great experiences I've had since then!

Do you feel alcoholic parents never let you have a life...and for those who were able to get out, is your life better because of it?

A woman friend of mine told me a “secret”, she told me that women treat each other very bad, and that men had no idea. She got that right, men think that women are extremely united; I was very surprised to hear that. Then I remembered that years ago I saw a documentary on TV about something like that, and on that documentary women said that at work they prefer to have a man as chief than to have a woman as chief. Is this true? Only true answers!

People speak as if shyness is a disadvantage, but on the converse, what about people who can't shut their traps for more than 5 seconds at a time?

be honest, have you ever wondered who in the world did it and why?
Or get a little "irritated" by it?
Especially if it was voted best answer. ^_^

Can somebody give me some insight on the workings of inflation between two countries whose currencies are traded at a fixed rate?

If there are two countries whose exchange rates are officially locked (e.g., the U.S. dollar and the Saudi Arabia riyal), does inflation in one country automatically occur in the second country at the same exact rate?

Taking the SAR example, everybody knows that inflation in the U.S. has been about 2-3% per year for the last few years. But occasionally I read that inflation in Saudi Arabia is "essentially zero," even though that country's currency has been locked to the dollar at 1USD=3.75 SAR since 1986.

My best answer would be that it would have to do with what's causing the inflation. For instance, if you have some supply-side inflation with the price of oil going up, this would induce inflation in the US, but not necessarily in Saudi.

But there's a limit to this independence, I think. I suspect for the most part the currencies are locked?

We are not plants, vegetables or fruits, not totally mineral in origin but like the other animals that inhabit the earth we breathe, eat, sleep and have sex leading to survival of the species. Yet, why is it that we do not call ourselves animals? We are just a mere jump in evolution from the caveman but for some reason we don't like the term animal. One animal characteristic is that we eat meats or vegetables and fruits, we do this. We protect our young, we communicate, and we are sexually active. Are we not animals? And are not certain members of our group not more animalistic than others, we call them animals more frequently because they cannot manage to avoid sexual activity we call rape or sexual predators.

Poeple are fighting and killing each other with different pretext e.g political, ethnic, religious, and sectarian. You can hear every day about a center of massacre and underscoring the man kind.
