Expensive drugs are expensive because they are patented. Drug companies seek "monopoly profits" while the patents on their drugs are in force. When patents expire, other companies can enter the market with cheap generics. So ... is a possible solution to high drug prices to have government just BUY patents from drug companies, then license the patent out to all comers for free? (And I mean buy at a fair price, not confiscate or cancel patents).

I keep reading that China's currency is "undervalued". What does that mean? How can a currency be undervalued?

I can't stand when men mislead "us" women by making you think they like you like that, but really don't then think it's okay to rub it in your face as if to say "you want me, but you can't have me". please both women and men can give feedback.

For example, ruins noted by pilots perhaps while flying over large tracts of jungle, or GoogleEarth images whereby ruins/structures are noted with no correlating academic research identifying them.

Is there a list, discussion forum or similar providing infomation on sites such as these? I have for example heard mention of temples/structures sighted within Brazils Matto Grosso.

Answers welcome, let me know what you think :-)

Ok, so I go through many mood changes. I can be extremely hyper one minute to where I can't sit still, and I'm shaking really bad and cannot quit laughing, and just act really stupid, and then pretty soon I get so down the it feels like I'm dead. I won't have any energy and then I'll just want to cry because of how I'm feeling and plus I get so frustrated because I don't know why I feel like I do. When I get in the depression mode I don't want to talk to anyone, except for maybe every now and then my best friend and my boyfriend. I get really irritable, and other times I just get down right violent. I bite people's heads off and a lot of the time, since I'm around my younger sister the most, I end up knocking her around. Sometimes these moods will change throughout the day and go back and forth, and other times I'll be in one mood majority of the time for a few days, sometimes longer, and then it will switch. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Someone broke into my house and I beat him down. Then he kept moving. So I slammed his head into the night stand until his head was all but mush. He stopped moving; I tossed him to the side and tried to get back to sleep. Then there came a knock on the door. It kept knocking, so I picked up my gun and emptied the clip through the door, the knocking continued. I woke up.

Teasing and play is one way that people become socialized. What I'd like to do is see how that relates to people's social boundaries, personal space, trust, openness, and empathy.

I accidently kicked my friend in the crotch and I just told her to get her *** back up(I apologized of course). She didn't get back up.. and I just walked away. Does it really hurt girls that bad to be hit there? I don't want her to think I'm a jackass.

If I was to ask the question, how tall is mount Everest, everyone would look it up on the internet or maybe have heard it said, that it is a bit more than 29,000 feet tall,

BUT THE TRUTH IS, YOU DONT KNOW THIS, so therefore we believe everything we read, therefore how can we be sure that any answers that are given, about factual things, are correct. THE ANSWER IS THAT YOU DONT REALLY KNOW

Well it occured to me today that the system really sucks. The teachers have a strick policy that they must follow and that interferes with the well-being of their students. I don't think i want my life dictated everyday by some ridiculous rules, if i dont feel well during a class period, it is against the "school rules" for me to put my head on the desk. I think that is ridiculous. If someone is not feeling well, its their grade and the teacher should care lesss, they are in no way disturbing the class....These rules are very stupid, in my opinion. Are they trying to raise a generation of robots? Kids who are sooo accustomed to following the rules when they are young,so when they get older they just have that instict to never break a rule. I for once, i love doing things that i want to do without any restriction, i thought in a country as USA you can have the freedom, but it seems little by little our freedom of free choice is being violated, they are putting camera's all over..etc

Why is it that when a question is asked, many people think that they know the answer, but that only know what other people have told them, or they have read , or found on the internet, BUT, how do they know it is the right answer?, the answer is that they dont !!! they believe anything that they are told or read, true or not?
