100 pence, of course, make a pound. What I am curious about are other coins (even if they are archaic). How much is a farthing, guinea, crown, bob, shilling, etc?

It has been suggested that Neanderthals interbred with humans, forming hybrids, and soon dissipated due to over breeding. According to wikipedia, "Edward Rubin of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California states that recent genome testing of Neanderthals suggests human and Neanderthal DNA are some 99.5 percent to nearly 99.9 percent identical". When would a human be considered human? When two "species" are 99.9 percent alike, you'd assume they'd be part of the same species. Don't most ethnicities differ by .01% in genetics, but are still considered human?

Its almost as if your suppossed to be happy in any situation, no matter what happens. I think its ridiculous. I've been so depressed that I slept for a month. When I got up my legs hurt to move. I think more people should read Brave New World, If you don't fit neatly into there perfect society, drug them. Its B.S. My point is if you have higher standards for yourself, and your life doesn't live up to them, of course your going to be depressed. So is the answer to lower your standards? I think its up to you. In my case, I say, you can take my life, but I will never lower my standards. If I have to live with depression so be it. But til the day I die, I will never be molded to fit somebody elses design. I will never take drugs to be happy with a lesser life. I must send out a WARNING to other depressed people, not to follow my advice, unless your believe strongly that one day true to yourself is better than a lifetime of false drugged happiness.

Every moment in our life has purpose. No matter how insignificant that moment may seem at the time, it had a direct affect on someone, somewhere. Can you tell me of such a moment in your life when you could not see the purpose at the time, but realized it's affects later?

Do you ever just get tired of having your feelings hurt? Sometimes I get so tired of everything I do being second guessed or checked up on. I'm never good enough and it makes me want to crawl under a rock.

I know racism is viewed in a very negative light when it is expressed outwardly, but take the time to think to yourself and discover the truth about: Are you a racist? and how can you be for sure?

After determining the truth about yourself, let me know.

Me? Fine, if you REALLY have to know...I don't think I am a racist. The definition of racist is someone who believes their race is better than all other races in one way shape or form. Sigh...So no, I'm not a racist. I simply believe that some races are predetermined to particular behavior in certain situations. Such as emotion, loyalty, maturity, health, and overall behavior. Does that make me a bad person? Fine, then sue me, but enough about me. Post your response!!!

Believe it or not, this is for research and will be observed and judged by a team of scientists. We are asking people online, and in person (some are paid for their thoughts and views, many are not!)...But this WILL be published! Thank you and please be honest!

ok, here is a tough one, I’m currently on the first year in the Doctorate program of human rights, I’m 25 years old almost 26 and yes, its hard as hell, so, the question is based on my emotional rollercoaster that im in, not sure that im capable of doing it, thinking of changing careers because I like it butt I don’t love it, well, little bit, besides that, I think a lot about a book I wrote and its not getting published and is really frustrating, I don’t have money because im supposedly studying so I’m financially dependent of my parents and that sucks!, so im also thinking about getting a job and leaving the Doctorate program, so I can be independent. And because of that I’m not concentrating enough and loosing focus, so, there you have it, my mind in a few words, need a good advise, don’t know what’s more important to me, cant understand myself, what can I do?, how can I organize my head?, how can I know which path to take?, and please no “do what you feel like or follow your heart” answers, need objective answers, realistic ones.

My daughter reply after questioning her 3 failing grades, stated I thought I could not get into college so I did not try. She is a B/C student taking advance classes. Further ? ing she stated she was depress and had night mares over a friend who committed suicide this past summer. My mother wit tells me to encourage but to be firm
I think it a case of too much lap top & i-pod! But I just want her to do her best and explain this to her. She is the only child at home and can find excuses quicker than she can ans. her phone.
I took away all 3 items and tried to encourage her. But I still feel as though she is manipulating me.
