... that everybody lives in villas with pool instead of concrete flats, drove BMWs instead of Ladas, and was restricted to travel within the entire planet rather than just some Eastern European countries?

Think about it, it would be like our lifestyle today, only better, because there would be no pressure to actually buy any of these things, the government would just give them to you on application, if after 10 years or so.

I guess what I'm really trying to ask is, did we westerners dread communsim so much because we thought it meant living in crappy flats and driving crappy cars in drab countries? Did we ever actually examine the concept for ourselves and visualized if we could make it happen with western values? I know, one of the biggest western values is "own your own stuff" - but who does? It's all mortgages, loans, and company cars... are we actually practising communism right now without knowing it?

it's a man responsible. However, the girls hadn't been raped. What about the theory that it could have been a woman who had something against such girls because she'd found out that her husband had been sleeping with prostitutes? What are your views and theories? It's a tragic thing to happen and I hope whoever's responsible gets caught very soon!

Then do you feel ashamed of doing so for 10 mizzly points and think you have no personality if you cant even state your own opinion on this stupid site. Then do you get pissed off and click at the first question you see and answer the person in rather a rude way to feel better... Then do you feel bad about being rude to a stranger and get depressed?

For the last few weeks, I've been having some highly erotic dreams that would probably be considered out of the mainstream and probably taboo. In every sinble dream, I take a passive role and I'm not invloved, but always wake up highly arroused.

Ok, I'm a bagger at a grocery store over christmas (I need money for books). I'm 20, and most of the cashiers and other baggers that I work with are around the same age. I just can't be a social person around people (i'm a horrible conversationalist), and for that, most of them aren't even bothering to talk to me anymore. Once and a while I try to start a conversation, but i guess i'm too boring to keep it going. What am I to do? I can't really practice talking to people if they don't want to talk to me! Outside my family there really isn't anyone I talk to that I don't feel awkward talking to. I chat online with a few people, but that hasn't helped, because I can be myself when I'm not face to face with people.
