I was dating this girl for a couple of weeks.She told me that she was a model and a cheerleader!I wasn't really fromher area and thought that was cool.But when I asked her classmates,they told me that shes not a model or a cheerleader!Theytold me that she was a psycho liar and she lied about various things.Even stupid things like winning belly dancing competitions with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera!Going to LA for modelling assignments. She would tell me that she could speak 7 different languages including German.However,when I startedtalking to her in German shedid not have a clue aboutwhat I was saying!She used to tell me stories about how her ex was stalking her and treating her badly.I somehow got to know her ex and he told me that she was lying and just trying to gain my attention.When I asked her about this she got pissed and didnt talk for days.Can somebody tellme if this is a psychological problem. If yes, whats it called?Its not a joke cuz this girl is 18!and not a kid

Earlier I posted a question regarding marijuana. Weather or not it has positive effects. Within hours the question was pulled. I understand that Yahoo has this right as a private entity. At the same time I belive that their actions are completely uncalled for. Why is that an unreasonable topic for debate? This is a free country, is it not?

Allowing questions of that nature could give Yahoo a bad name. Why would they condone it? The downside is much bigger than the upside as far as they're concerned.

That's what happens when large corporations are in control of things. It's the track that the internet and our country is on. We won't have laws that prohibit free speech. It's just that everything will be privatized and as private corporations they will have the right to censor anything they want.

Look at Google, they bowed down to Chinese censorship. It was their feduciary responsibility to do so. If they hadn't it would have left them open to a lawsuit by their stockholders.

if fortunes were limited to $2 million [which is above the most a person can make, by their own work, and save, after a lifetime's expenses] and the overfortunes were distributed equally among all workers [which would give every family another US$70,000 a year], would violence increase or decrease?

would such a state of things be infinitely more just and less violent? [99% would be better paid, 90% would be 10-1000 times better paid, 100% of people would be much safer from violence [kidnapping, assassination, coup, revolution, guillotine, etc], the chances of nuclear winter would shrink dramatically, there would be no tyrannical or overbearing behaviour of ruling classes, corporations, etc, there would be 10 times as many scientists, businesses, inventors etc, high real income growth, high capital formation [investment], democracy, liberty, equality [because money is power and great inequality of money is great inequality of political power [= undemocracy, fascism, communism]

I'm struggling with "letting go" of things from my past that I truly regret. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how did you ever really get past it? I have made lots of mistakes and sometimes I am haunted with memories of the past that won't let go.

it seems to me that communism was taking everything off everyone and giving it to the state, which meant in practice giving it to the top person - ie communism is the artificial, most extreme injustice - it failed because it was injustice, it was theft, the biggest theft possible

capitalism, as it is at present, permits theft, ie a few [and fewer and fewer] do less and less work per dollar got, and more and more people do more and more work per dollar got - ie present capitalism tends towards the same state as communism: the most extreme injustice

1% get 90% of world income - ie 10% away from getting 100% of world income - pay is up to a million times world average hourly pay - it takes only 8000 people getting overpaid up to a million times, to take all the earnings of everyone on earth

capitalism is 10% away from that

capitalism + justice is polardifferent from both communism and present capitalism - which are unjust, sadist-terrorist, dangerous,violent,warmongering, yes?

If a guy likes a girl, does he text message her first on his mobile?? Or is he too proud to do it first, and would wait until the girl messaged him first?? Aren't guys usually proud?? Too proud to show that his emotions have turned sentimental for a girl?? And thus, would want to seem in control of his emotions?

given that:

1] people have spent almost all their history in master-slave relation

2] 99% of people are paid less than the world average hourly pay, and therefore have the numbers to force equality of hourly pay which would pay them better, and which would pay 90% of people 10-1000 times better, and yet they do not

3] people after revolutions [eg american french russian] have done nothing to prevent overwealth and power regrowth, which is tyranny [fascism, nazism, communism, monarchy, the present super unjust capitalism] and undemocracy and unfreedom

4] every plutocracy in history has been toppled by the people, so it is not lack of power with the people that makes them prefer tyranny unliberty oppression and powerlessness

is it that people identify with billionaires and dont care that they themselves are not billionaires - they enjoy billionaireship exactly as if it were their own - their billionaire fantasy is more important than their reality funding billionairism?

You tell people humans came from a magic garden with an "apple tree of sin" growing in it. You belive people speak different languages because we tried to build a tower to heaven and god got mad. Your ancestors crusaded around murdering millions of people, spitting on your own crosses, warship severed heads, and preforming sick sexual acts. Your trusted priests are so convinced that homo$exuality is a choice they r@pe and molest thousands of boys in secrecy, not knowing how to confront their (obviously) unchosen affliction. Not to mention, you tell people who were borned and raised a different religon they will burn in a fire for the rest of time? .. I could go on forever, but like I asked are catholics completely nuts?

Would it be possible to go back in time and kill yourself? My theory is this:
If you go back in time and kill yourself, then there's no-one in the future to actually do it, and so your still alive...
Get my drift?
Anybody have any different theories or ideas?
