ok, so I'm at the gym the other day and there is this machine in the back and I don't see anybody around it, but there is still weights on it. That's typical. People always leave weights on the machine and don't put them back up. So, I start using the machine and this guy about 53 years old and 3 times my size comes up and says, "I wouldn't do that if I was you." I say," why?"
He says, " Because I'm using it." I said, " oh, well I didn't know." he says, " well, now you do." I wanted to break this guys face. I can't stand people like that. How would you react? I know some of you are going to say, " don't let him get under your skin." It's much easier said than done. what is the best thing to do?

Closed off the world around them? Separate themselves from society altogether? I know someone like this and it's a very sad situation. She's been through a great deal of trauma but used to be one of the most kind hearted people I have ever met. I don't have a clue what's going on with her. Thanks for your answers.

Girls have always gotten into fights with each other, but in the past it seems like they would usually fight with words, not fists. But now, you can look on youtube or any other video site and see girls kicking the sh*t out of each other. I have also seen it personally. I know some guys like to see two girls in a fist fight. They think it is sexy or something. But for me personally, I don't like to see two girls beat each other up. It just bothers me for some reason. Throughout history, men have always been in more physical fights than women. I think something is wrong with our society if girls get into fist fights as much as boys.

Anyway, do you think it is more common now than in the past? And how do you feel about girls getting into physical fights?

I've been trying to learn more about this. It doesn't seem like people appreciate happy people. Also, there seems not to be room in this world for happy people. Why should a happy person continue to be happy?

And why do women like to be spanked more than men? Why do men like spanking women?

Does it have something to do with being spanked as a child? Self worth issues, self destructive behavoir, other problems?

And what is somebody supossed to do when they're getting spanked? Just stand there and look at the wall?

Yes. This is an actual inquiry. I'm not interested in fake answers.

I hate being shy and finding it so hard to just be not so dumb and just make friends like a normal person. What can I do to achieve that though?

Neighbor can be so nice. Then when least expected is very insulting, domineering, disrespectful of women. When he is ignored, he wants to know why. When told, he denies his actions, gets angry and starts with new insults. Don't know how to handle this person.

Observing from previous trends where wars give a massive rise to unemployment rates due to soldiers returning from duty and not finding jobs (this usually occurs a few years after a war has ended)
and considering the current democratically backed bill that will increase minimum wage by almost 50%, which will cause employers to lay off thousands of workers because they cant afford to the salaries and will drive small companies out of business because they cant compete to pay the increase on wages.
Do you believe these factors will cause a sharp rise in unemployment in a few years ?

Adam Smith states in the Wealth of Nations that the economic choices of individuals benefit society as a whole. In other words, that while a person might be looking for a job for his own profit, the job he takes will benefit the rest of society without any conscious effort on his part.
~Do you think that Adam Smith is correct? Do the economics choices of individuals benefit society as a whole? Explain what u wrote.
