what economic factors might be associated with a reluctance to purchase insurance against natural disasters and other rare events?

and why should a risk averse individual spend more to insure against a high value/low probabiliy loss than against a low value/high probabiliy loss of the same expected value? how can i capture this in a diagram??

Thanks alot!!!

The feeling where you feel you gotten through so much hardship and so far that you just don't care about what happens anymore. You just want to have your own way because you demand it.

Do you believe it really is a spiritual experience, or is it just chemistry?

Why are girls so preoccupied with toilets, I just don’t get it! Toilet seat up, toilet seat down, who gives a rat’s?

They are always accusing you of never cleaning up after yourself, what’s that all about?

Jealousy, that’s what it is, just because they can’t deliver a high pressure stream of urine to clean up the skiddies on the back of the pan!

Am I right Guys?

Sexy,

Wow, thank you so much for composing such a detailed and thoughtful reply to my recent message. So where are you hiding that PhD degree? You have incredible insights and ability to drill down to the nuances most anyone would miss. I knew you were special...this example just continues to reveal that fact. Yet I am still astonished and even swept away by the depth of feedback you have given me. That you care enough to even take the time, the kind effort & thought, is impressive. But the ability you possess for finding a subjective meaning, is brilliant.

I've had to read your reply several times, just to take it all in. Some points you make I might disagree with initially, but actually you're probably right even if I don't want to admit it. I don't see myself as complex enough, emotionally, to have "innermost" feelings of any kind. Whether it is fear, as you state-- or simply the fact I am a "loner," there is a major tendency on my part to avoid emotions and personal connections. You haven't taken it as a personal insult that I am like this, although you easily could have started finding fault in response if you were a different kind of person. But since you are a wise, caring, brilliant man, you actually see that there is more than meets the eye when figuring out why people do the things they do.

I hope maybe we can talk or chat later, but if not, I will get back with you sometime soon.

With awestruck love,

Pumpkin

Do you think society is in quicksand when it comes to an active, problem solving mind due to technology making everything easier?

It could be a physical or personality flaw. And more importantly ..... what can you do to correct it? You won't get picked for best answer without answering that question, too.
