I called cab and driver tried to bash down dr. Ph wouldnt work. Boyfriend wanting to drink and smoke and not taking it serious. Killer let me stab him with giant knife but he would not die. I did not know why he trying to kill me. Chased me down blk and i kept trying to save boyfriend. Eventually i though hiding in my bed under duvet with him right behind me would work, couldnt even remember to lay still and as he found me and pulled the covers back i woke up. I had previously tried holding dr to keep him out and climbing tree but nothing worked. Cat that i love was also there and i was trying to protect him. and i knew my job would fire me for calling in with shock from someone trying to kill me and these matrix like hr people turned up to fire my neighbour. What does this all mean people?

I am 29 years old and I was in a disagreement with a 22 year old girl at my work. Then she says to me "Oh yeah, well, you're a 30 year old!" And I said "Yeah, but I look younger and better than you, and let's see if you even make it to 30."

Here's an example: The movie "Alive." Airplane transporting a soccer team crashes in the Andes. The survivors are stuck in the mountains for months with no food...so they eat the dead. It really happened, so it's fascinating. But if this was completely fictional, it wouldn't be as interesting. Why are true stories inherently more appealing? In other words: why are we interested in things we wouldn't otherwise be interested in -- for example, cannibalistic soccer team -- when we know they really happened?

Could you help me please?

I am writing a dissertation, the topic being whether art (be that painting, writing, photography etc) can be effective in helping the sufferer cope with the distressing symptoms of the illness, and bring (if only temporarily) a release and comfort to him/her. If YES, could you please explain why this is so. Thank you

Do you push yourself to learn new things for the sake of learning or do you do it for the response from others who positively react to your level of expressed knowledge? Often I see people who attempt to be intellectual because they want to know-it-all and be authoritative, but occasionally I encounter people who seem to be almost naturally intelligent. What do you think about this?

why if a pretty woman wear thongs on beach or going topless, she is very sexy and attractive for men
but if a handsome muscular man wear speedo or short tight short and his bulge is noticeable , he is gay and women will not turned on by him but maybe get disgused by the bulge shape

The way I see it every emotion experienced is eventually counter-acted by and equal and opposite counter-emotion.

And of course physical pain is counter-acted by the pleasure gained from the relief of the pain.

I have a thought that Westerners are so much cruel than asian. Especially in some western countries (I will not mention names here) the crime rate is so high. Why? Is there a psychological reason?

(On the other hand it is true that poverty is too high in most of the asian countries since they are developing countries.)

I'm 17 and I'm really into cartoons especially anime. All my friends aren't into cartoons and I've kept my love for cartoons a secret. Should I be into more 'my age' programs? I never thought I had a problem until some of friends who found out, started making fun of me for it. They said I was mentally disabled. Am I? By the way, the kind of cartoons that I'm into aren't your typical tom and jerry stuff but japanese manga.

I met this man. We had intense chemistry felt on both sides. He was arrogant and I couldn't take it. Although this man is an excellent catch and he was unexpectedly my "dream man."
I have always been a player and now this time I can't forget about him. I constantly think of him but we are no longer seeing each other as I dropped him because of his arrogance. He's moved on now, but some of his actions are suggesting he hasn't (long story). I can't stop thinking about him and know I need to forget about him. Please help as this man has caused so many disruptions in my life and I can't find a way to move on.
