Any idea on a good topic? It has to be abit specific not just The R&R Industry.
One topic that I might tackle is: What's behind the low personal Saving Rate?

I've always wondered what tribal life was like. I'm curious as to how relationships work within in a tribe. Obviously, it's a little more personal than living in a town or city.

Do tribal people have homes which consist of a father and a mother and their children? What do tribal people do when they're not out hunting and gathering?

What level of knowledge and understanding of the world do they have? What concerns them through life besides survival?

How do they compare to people who live modern lives?

My moods change a lot. With my friends I am happy and usually I am good. But then there are time, within the same day, that I do not want to see anyone. I just want to forget about everything. I feel stressed. Is it normal to have changing moods. Like one minute optimistic the next pessimistic. Or should I see a doctor?

If the Nation honours you for your achievement, that must be some buzz. If you buy an honour, surely it's like making yourself a cardboard badge, knowing that you made it and means nothing?

I can't figure out whether I should get a doctorate in Physical Therapy or an MA in Physical Therapy. The pay seems to be the same according to the AAPTA for each. What are the benefits besides a title for getting the doctorate? Can someone help with this? What is the point of getting the doctorate if your pay is going to be the same as someone with the MA or in some cases even the BA? I personally feel it's a bit ludicrous.

I was just thinking about that. How do they really know what mommy/or whoever says when she says "I love you". How do they know the emotion? How do they know what they're saying when they say it back. Usually, mom's don't tell them because I don't think there is a way to describe it to them. ( well maybe they do, I'm not a mother but...) So how do they get to know what love is. And when they do say it or feel it, how do they know if it's love they are feeling.

skinny means you are an adult of average or taller height and weigh less than 120 lbs. If you are like this I want to know:
What is the most you have ever eaten in one sitting? What would you consider "pigging out"?

do you think we really need to work at all on fridays anymore? why yes and why no?

what do you think might happen to society in general if morning people worked early a.m. to early p.m. shifts; afternoon people worked early p.m. to later p.m. shifts; and night people worked from the late evening to early morning? what about all of us choosing which days out of 7 that we work on?

it would take companies using heat & electricity all night long; public transportation running around the clock.

but wouldn't it reduce stress? or, would there be a new stress due to husband & wife working different schedules?

wouldn't it reduce overloads on expressways, therefore reducing the need to forever patch holes on highways?

would it reduce road rage, rush hour nervousness?

would it reduce the stress of having to do laundry & shopping on saturdays/sundays only? would you change the day you do the chores?

do you think you'd have better time w/your family with such changes?

Everysince he was little, he had to deal family issues such as his biological mother and stepmother abusing him, his father verbally hurting him, etc. He suffered despression at an early age but know one knew about it except me. Some of the kids in our school bullied him and was rejected by the people he trust the most and that kinda damaged the guy alot.Right now, he has so much anger an hatred inside of him. All he can think of is murder and more violence towards his enemies. He always comes up to me and tell me about his murder plans and they are extremely brutal/sickening. He has a huge fascination for decapitated/mutilated bodies and others disgusting stuff. It is so unbelievable. There was an essay in school, he wrote some thing which led the teacher to call his parents.
The counseler said he has some mental disorder.

I am like the only person in school he talks to happily. He gets so nervous infront of people. He even hids from them.

I am worried about him!

I have observed the purposes of the feminist movement which are to help women to get equal pay, equal promotion in the workforce, and equal power in political office. However are the feminist movement one-sided? For example they expect men to see them as equal in the workforce but then they do not pick up for males who are victims of domestic violence or sexual harassment as they do for women. The same can be said about the military draft, few women complain that is unfair that only men are required by law to serve. The same can be said about the death penalty, there are murders committed by women against men that do not receive the death penalty but vice versa it would result in an execution for a male murderer under the same circumstances. So is the feminist really about equality or one sided?

i remember my liberated galfriend dragging me along to the new women's rap group back in the 1970s. i was a working mother then. i remember women in the group moaning and complaining over being stay-at-home workers, their husbands, and their periods.

i want to know what this forum thinks because most of you are younger than i am. my viewpoint is that once women entered the workplace en masse that men's wages got lower, forcing both spouses to work to keep up with the joneses, & then later, as it stands now, just to plain, outright survive.

both mom & dad arrive home exhausted. i don't think they do not love their kids; i think that they are too tired to read to them, to do homework with them, to bathe them, and to share much quality time with them.

do you think that men and women both became enslaved by the women's lib movement? do you think that a woman looks stupid if she stays home? do you think having a lot of toys is more important than family? why not change it all?

Outside of aggression and psychotic people, why would someone not be afraid to let you seem them staring at you? Because normally, I think if you caught someone who was staring at you, they would turn away, but if they don't, what is this about?

Do women have an irresistible urge to take off their clothes when doing any physical activity. I go to the gym often and without fail there will be some women there with her gluteus maximus hanging out of the bottom of her too short panties. the same is true when women are in any runing contest such as a marathon, they will be runing in what appears to be underware. I try to see women as more that just fresh meat but if you keep displaying yourselves as such then men will see you as just one more piece of salami.
