Ok, I know that people will tell you that when you are trying to accomplish a goal that you would procrastinate about, you should reward yourself with something you would like to do. Yeeah,...that doesn't work for me. For example, I love to get massages, but if I tell myself that if I study for an hour I get a massage, I'll just say "to hell with it" and ditch studying for the massage. Then I'll just kick myself about it when I fail a test, or end up not turning in a homework assignment. I love to take care of my home. I want to be consistant with a routine for cleaning and organizing, but I never keep up with it. For example, I want to get a head start on cleaning, so that I can start cooking early for Thanksgiving, instead of doing it all at the last minute (especially since I left a mountain of dishes last night). It's 1:45am and I still haven't done a thing. But, you can bet I'm sitting here beating myself up about. What is that?!

Can anyone provide a list of the world's largest industries? (Please don't just guess or give your opinion, but give a credible source for your information. Thank you!)
Someone told me they are arms dealing, tourism and English as a Foreign Language teaching. I'm just wondering if this is true and what the rest are.

Lets call a do over. Cancel all our national debt. China sorry you bought all the bonds but we decided not to honor them. Hey we'll still buy the stuff you make. And oh yeah our dollars are worth real gold now.

Sure it would cause some serious problems in the short term but in the long term the economy (while probably not as high flying) would be much more stable.

This is just my half baked spur of the moment question. I'm not an economist and have no idea about the real ramifications such an action would have. Enlighten me!!!

When people get drunk, they lose their inhibitions. Some drunks are "goofy drunks", while others wanna fight with the first person that they see. Basically, their true colors shine through. I've noticed the same thing for older people. Throughout life, we develop various inhibitions which are deemed appropriate for social interactions and being in public in general. However, a lot of older people seem to lose those inhibitions. So many older people are mean, while others are really nice. In general, many elderly people say whatever they feel like saying without considering the consequences. Others drive recklessly (which is not to be mistaken for vision problems). Sometimes we are so quick to forgive and overlook the behavior of older people because "They're old ... they can't help it.", but I'm beginning to think that the way that these people were really bad all along, and now it's just more apparent. What are your thoughts on this subject?

I've just been reading a book that says how humans have more in comon physiologically with water animals than land animals. One of the points it made was that apes can not cry...

Is this true?

Was it when Marlene Dietrich and Katherine Hepburn started to wear pants, ties and suits in public? Or was it earlier with George Sand? When did we get to step out of our dresses and into men's clothes?

I have to do a presentation next week. Although I am quite confident with all the material and already made a perfect outline for my speech, yet I am very nervous about presenting them to the class. I've always had issues with doing presentation since I was in high school, and it's quite embarassing that it actually shows on my face as I became very nervous, my cheeks would turn red, my voice stutters, and my hands are shaking as I'm holding the papers, then the teacher or my class would try to tell me to calm down. This also happen quite often as I'm talking to new people, too. So how can I overcome this fear of speaking in front of the class? Thanks
