"...ethics are never timid, rarely convenient, and always vital." What does this mean to you and to the way you live your life?

I was just wondering if it were possible to raise your IQ score, and if anyone has ever done it.

I have done this many times in my life. People that I care about or have had falling outs with I obsess about the situation and the person and or maybe how I reacted to things. I don't like confrontation but I wish there had been times to talk things out but realizing how the person really is that can't just talk things out normally. I just have to eventually accept things the way they are and let it work out for itself which is really hard for me to do because I am very impatient with things. Any suggestions?

good that would mean people would be somthing like ants just working automaticly as a group to accomplish somthing and nobody would be in charge it would be almost robotic . The same thing goes for evil I think you could not favor anyone because you hate everyone but yourself so you would only want to destroy everything because there would be no pity or caring just everyone slaving for you and yourself surviving .

I imagine this question will get removed.

While answering question and asking at first get me feeling good, over a whole session I start to feel pretty fed up with the world and some of the people in it.

So is this thing postitive or negative?

Well, think about let's say Snow White. Wasn't her life so difficult only because she was prettier then her stepmom? Or if we just think about nature, aren't beautiful flowers die because they are always torn out to put in a vase? Aren't pretty trees cut out to be made a table out of? Isn't it better to be the ugliest flower and live happily until natural death? Isn't this true to humans also? Why is there so much pressure on naturally beautiful women and where is it coming from? I'm interested in your opinion in general and also concerning literature if you have any ideas. I'm doing a research in literature focusing on Anna Karenina and Madame Bovary and I'm trying to show that their lives became so tragedic only because they were too beautiful. I'm amazed how many times this theme occurs in literature. Do you have further examples? I'd appretiate good sources and any kind of help :)

Every place that I have worked at the had blue collar workers has that one guy who comes across as someone who used a lot of drugs at one point in his life. Any without fail he is always the one spouting off about his "Legal Rights" in almost every situation.
Why is this?

i have a problem with speaking in front of my peers and saying wht i really mean. i am a 14 year old girl but learn 5 languages (english is not my native language), go on all sorts of competitions and read books very advanced considering my age. i am proud of who i am and really dont find it essential to be accepted among my class mates, i get enough approval from people i value much more. i think the problem is me not fitting into the image of the person i think would be popular among them, but i would despise myself if i would be that person! i know its sort of contradictory but i really think its the problem. also, i feel extremely uncomfortable doing things that would not fit into the image that i fear my class mates might have (a dork), although i find it rather unlikely that they should think so.
i hope this wasnt too boring for you to read.
all advice welcome.
p.s. i saw the school psychologist but it was a waste of time.
i dont have a best friend, nor did i ever have one.

(Pardon the football reference)

What I mean is: once you have learned and fully understood something, do you always start from that point moving forward? Or is it possible to take a step back...

low self esteem creatures that need and want and desperate for love, attention and sex and they'd go to great measures to get it?

Well news for you!! I'm not like that! I don't care about guys yet I'm straight, I don't care how I look and I do not desire attention or love. Respect yeah but that's it.

Despite what some people think, today's news makes it clear the US job market is incredibly tight for people with useful skills. See this quote from a CNN-Money article:

"I'm hearing across the board, across industries, companies indicating they can't exploit market opportunity because they can't find people with the right skills," said Jeff Summer, an executive at Deloitte Consulting who leads the firm's management practice. He said that there's virtually no long-term unemployment for skilled workers. "It's down to the nub already," he said. "Supply and demand is completely out of whack."

-----

How do we encourage young Americans to BECOME skilled workers, instead of wasting their brainpower majoring in Psychology or Marketing? (uh, no offense intended...) That would make the economy more productive. Is there something out there interfering with free market incentives, or are people just stupid?

We´ve been dating for about a month so I haven´t have much time to figure it out. When I told my dad that he is a bodyguard, he assured me that someday I could get in real trouble, and that if we had a fight or something he might hit me. This one time he told me that he became a bodyguard ´cause of the money and ´cause he likes being one, he feels exited about it and I think that he feels sort of powerful. Is he a violen person indeed and doesn´t have any respect for other´s life?
