I find that I can really fall into negative thinking. How can I change that? I'm tired of being a 'debbie downer'...

you feel you've started to built trust with them, but your not blunt about everything, and you think the friendship is building, but you also feel like maybe it's what you want to see out of the relationship and for some reason that individual starts coming up with excuses as to why they can't hang out with you, but you feel their reason is somewhat legit-should you confront the individual or just try again and see what happens? What is one to do, when they felt like the person who they begun to trust might not a friend after all?-and you'll see each weekly because of a program you both take part in?

Ok think reality. Something that an average guy could afford.
And would make you say yes the next time he sees you...

My 2 theories:
1) If a person is introverted, he or she is usually more towards selfishness? Since that person relies on themselves, and usually don't care about others.
2) If a person is extroverted, he or she is not as selfish, and is more open to others?
- A research has been done recently telling us that introverts tell the truth more often, than those who are extroverts. We all lie unconsciously... Extroverts usually thrive under high stimulus... Introverts tends to have more activities running in the brain even when the environmental stimulus is low.
Questions:
1) For romantic love, do you see benefits in being introverted, or extroverted? What are they?
2) For research in romantic love, do you see benefits in being introverted or extroverted? What are they?
3) Also describe yourself, or put yourself into a group best fit 4 u.
...Please provide real life experiences, since they help alot, thanks.

I mean, someone is on Yahoo Answers to find peace of mind or help, and some people can only give the advice to commit suicide. I mean really, why would you tell someone to kill themselves? They are more than likeley here because they don't want to kill themselves, or if they do, they are trying to avoid it.

Can you explain why there are still apes around if we supposedly have all "evolved"? What about the fact there are no Man-apes. Does evolution just magically happen all at once. There must not be any in between stages. You just go from Ape ...poof Man!! HAHHA. How silly.

some ppl argue that unlimited fortunes r just, rewarding innovation, entrprise, hard wrk, etc -
that limiting fortunes wd hold these energetic ppl down, stop them working, striving, excelling

the fine upstanding heroic brave hunter should not have to share his meat with the no-hopers who spend all day around the campfire smoking, gassing & screwing - i agree

but we are not in a pre-job-specialisatn society, where each man can get only what he earns - job-spec. means trading, means pooling the products of work, means ability to take out more than you put in by yr work

we are not talking about taking his hardearned kill - we are talking about restricting the hunter to his kill - making a killing on the stckmkt is taking out more than you put in

eg, a persn wrks 1 hr, gets $100 - $10,000,000 - which he then cOnverts into product of 10-1,000,000 hrs work [wrld av pay $10/hr 1998 $s] - puts in 1 hr, gets mlln hrs - theft,anger,war,misery

99% R UNDERPAID - 99% HELD BACK

This may seem like a obvious question right?
Take a minute to think about it...
(I didn't know where to put this question so i thought to put it under, where i read it )

Now consider these facts

There is one drowning for every 11 000 residential pools in the US
Therefore roughly 550 children in america drown every year

There is one child killed for every million or so guns
So it is estimated that 175 children die each ear for guns

Do we automatically assume that the pool is safer then a gun?
Don't pools kill more then guns, especially since we have more guns then swimming pool?

It takes less then 30 seconds for a child to drown, often noiselessly.
An infant can drown in even a couple of inches of water.

My point?
Has people been underthinking or have I been overthinking?
Is it because of the fact swimming pool accidents seem more preventable so they actually seem safer?

An economist was pondering on the fair distribution of 1000 units scarce opportunities and benefits to a group of 100 respondents with the following characteristics:
1.10% belong to the upper rich leisure class, powerful and influential
2.40% belong to the hard working educated MIDDLE CLASS, AMBITIOUS AND HARD-WORKING
3.50% belong to the lower poor class without proper education and born without any opportunities in life because they are trapped in the vicious cycle of poverty
Questions:
1.What is the basic dilemma about in this situation?
2.What are the conceptual analytical skills involved in this dilemma?
3.What are the linguistic analytical skills in this situation?
4.What are the arguments and counter-arguments in this situation?
5.What arer the errors in reasoning involved in this situation?
6.And which argument is stronger in this situation?

first world plundered [euphemism: colonised] third world for centuries

russia backward in international trade, industrial revolution and imperialism 1500-1950

millions of african slaves in nth america, africa, west indies - european empires robbed, massacred & enslaved in china, asia, sth america

1st wrld enslaving most of world over centuries must have had some effect on world overpay and underpay

those who compare first world and second world are ignoring centuries of 1st wrld global imperialism?

[why crime doesnt pay: plunderers get plundered - european empires r already plundered, decayed - america buckling under cost of global selfdefense - the plundered get hard, the plunderers get soft - third world going from 20% to 80% of world wealth 1960-2050 - topsoil loss 1% a yr - population 40 billion by 2050 - 95% black/brown - ie, huge pop.s fighting over shrinking land - ie, goths & vandals x 1,000,000 - 1st wrld's only defense: nuclear

better teach ppl equality qk!
