Social Science - 30 October 2006

I feel emotion to the extremes...I can never be a "little bit" of something...like a little bit happy, or a little bit upset. It's always to the extreme even when something happens that is stupid and i shouldn't even be upset over. Also, I have mood swings, and even though I know its wrong, I take it out on the people I care most about...and I'm scared that I am going to lose the man i love due to this. Please help me.

anyone out there had a near death experience?
i.e they were actually dying/dead and came back.

not just someone who nearly got hit by a bus, train etc but who actually DID get electrocuted, anvil dropped on their head, etc.

did you have any afterlife sort of experience like leaving your body or other spiritual happening?
if so please describe.

if so - do you think you were hallucinating or was it real?

okay im probably going to get a lot of jokes and pis5 takes on this one but its an interesting topic.

I am tired of people making fun of me. And I hate it because they make fun of me for something I can't change, my chin. They draw me and it hurts when everyone in the class joins in on the laughing.
I just want to disappear but I can't, and I just try to look away and remove myself. I am sixteen and I can't even afford plastic surgery.

I am new to this class and this town and so I don't have any friends to share this with. I told my dad but he understands me but really he can't do anything about it.

I'm not going to tell my teacher or my councelor. That's not an option. I used to like myself but now I cannot stop thinking about my chin all day. I am obsessing over it. Anything that takes leadership or confidence now I cannot simply step to it.

Now, I don't make fun of people and apart from that characteristic, I do not consider myself ugly. I just want it to stop because they make fun of me every day: draw me, call me names, and laugh at me. EVERY DAY. I don't know what to do.

Right this person happens to be my best friend (regretfully)

This person things they are **** just because they got male hair loss and one of his eyes is cosntantly out of focus

This person does not wash his face...ever or hair (he has long hair but none on top) he refuses to take his hat off unless hes alone sleeping and no one will walk in, has a beard and VERY rarely has a bath or shower by very rarely I mean once every 3 or 4 months

Has really extreme views on everything

Get's unbelievably jelous when I talk to ANYONE

Trys to force his beliefs on me

When I talk to someone he just says I'm never gonna talk to you again, he is so repetative and won't leave me alone ever -even when we argue excessively and I end up taking the piss out of him punching him and so on. Yeah we regularly fight

He will argue excessively with anyone who thinks something different than he does

He's also tried to kill himself

I want to know if anyoen knows what this is or could be

USA imposes globalization to the rest of the world.
I live in Brazil. Before globalization we had better jobs and better salaries. After globalization our salaries have decreased a lot
For a company in Brazil to be competitive internationally has to pay poor salary now and multinational companies exploit low cost labor. We were forced by American and European imperialism to accept globalization. Big American and European companies gain with globalization exploiting low wages outside USA and Europe.
Nobody likes to earn low wages. Then why American and European people complain about immigration if their big companies slave the rest of the world?

If a few member of a certain group gives them a problem, it's always 'round them up and kill them' or 'invade them' or 'nuke them'. Then, they turn around and claim that they're superior to all others.

Does somebody have a SERIOUS answer as to why Americans do this? Please don't give me that 'oh, I'm not like that' stuff, because you're seriously outnumbered.

Have you known an adult with temper tantrums? What can one do? Cussing, swearing, chucking things about...is this normal? When I came across one such a person, I thought they needed to be institutionalized...otherwise this person functions fairly rationally, until the next upset...fook me.

1st tenet in economics "For anything to have a price, it must be scarce and insufficient at some level". Land which lies unused, and food mountains, milk getting strewed all over, and coffee getting chucked into the sea, and more, are all examples of withholding to keep the prices up. In this world, for everybody to be fed would mean abundance, which would mean gluts and no price. free, which indeed would not be good for business. Business, its exchange, its money charging for physical needs causes world starvation. Nb: charging for non physical needs does not cause death. I would love to be proved wrong. But this is the economics we are taught. Its the economics we experience We need to do something about it, as fast as possible.
