I just got raked by someone for repeating a question. Seems to me you'd have to review a lot of questions to be sure. Wish I could be as perfect and understanding as this person.

it feels like lying but avoiding conflict or delaying it seems to be reward enough.

Often, people criticise everybody including the sky, but themselves.

Are certain cultures more prone (say workplace regulation), to passing the bucket around such that cost attribution is an obfuscation ?

The ensuing blame game of musical chairs neither with constructive criticism nor viable and pragmatic solutions is condoned by the masses.

Open discussion.

I have a friend who drinks a 12 pack of beer a day. No one likes her. She's gained a lot of weight. She feels that she's going to die. She lives in a crappy apartment and sleeps in trash because she never cleans it up. She has no friends and the friends that she did have she keeps at an arms length. She lies about everything all the time. She doesnt really take care of herself, and she's in debt up to her ears. Plus she lives in fear that people will find out about her.
I am one of those people that see's the good in her. I see potential, but I see that her laziness will do her in. She's funny, smart when she puts her mind to it, and she is a devoted freind when she feels safe enough to play wingman in someones life. I have tried to help her but she, for some reason shuns the help.

How can a person like this change into a healthy person? I've run out of options for her, but I don't want to abandon hope for her.

What can I do and How can she change if that's possible?

Recently I've noticed that a lot of women think that the fact that they CAN be sexy and hypersexualized must mean that feminism is over and that this is actually what empowers them.

do they have a right to assume illness? do they just assign you a punishment? suppose the defiance was repetitive out of pure resentment for the doctor. would the subject be considered ill and thence be treated?

I am having nightmares everytime I go to sleep. Here are afew. Can anyone tell me what they mean?:

I was in the middle of a war battlefield. There was a tank coming. Everyone who looked at me had their eyes rolled back and my brother came up to me with an absoilutly devious smile. I was pulled away by a cloaked figure and taken to safety. The person in the cloak seemed to be my age. Im a female teen.

I was in a battlefield and my brother who had his eyes roleld back pushed me into a soldier who had their eyes rolled back as well. The soldier tried to shoot me but the same cloaked figure saved me. What could these dreams mean? I have others but they don't come to mind....

I know people in general have had a lot of unusual experiences, but has this particular thing ever happened to any of you?
The weirdest thing is happening that I swear is true. I don't usually watch a lot of tv but lately I have. When I am talking with the person I'm watching tv with it the characters on the show seem to repeat words I just said. When I tried to disprove this insanity by randomly coming up with a word, that word is spoken within 15 seconds. I'm in a freak out over this. I noticed this just started happening to both of us when we are sitting here watching it. I know for a fact its not because I have ever seen the show. Has this happened, I hope to you? What do you think it means?
Let me make this clear. I can believe if it happened once or twice it would just be a coincidence. But in the last 3 days it's been almost a hundred times with various words. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone and am almost afraid to talk.

How do i attract a good guy in my life? that will commit, not cheat or hit me?
i want a good guy but they dont want me. why? im pretty, college degree'd, sweet, considerate, virgin. but only bad guys r attracted to me. i kinda hate the good guys too cuz they wont give me achance, ifeel like its their fault i end up with a guy that cheata and beats me. i had3 bf's do this to me and a brother who gave me a black eye, and punched me in the head unconscious, whe i was younger. i kind of hate men all together, can u blame me? a man killed my dad, a man tried to rape me a man always abuses and abandons me. its hard when your dating to look 4 signs about a guy esp cuz they r fake and out of the blue do 180. by that time its too late. how can i weed them out when they are phony nice?

Do you think that there is a connection between bare vagina and pedophiles? Do you think some people enjoy shaved/waxed women because they secretly are attracted to young girls and this better aids them in their fantisies?

I read a story in a magazine once that stated this as fact but I wanted to see what others think. I myself prefer natural over bare.

would you rather have the closeness that the "act" confers or the orgasm itself?
