Does anyone know what the two words are that describe that intense pain a person will feel before death? I know there was a movie made a few years ago and the name was these two words- i think "Exotic" something....or "Erotic" something...
This is serious, for important research, so serious answers please??

I get so sick of my problems I just think its better to go to sleep forever and never ever wake up. They just never end. You get rid of one problem and a worse one comes along.

Seems i touched a nerve with my previous question, so to the people that argued their point so passionately be it wrong or right, please attempt to explain to me how the first living thing came to exist.
I'll make it clear from the start that 1. I'm not religeous, 2. I'm not a scientist, 3. None of the evolutionary theory is fact as one person pointed out(that is after all why it is a theory) 4. Just because i do not personally believe it, does not make me a religeous nut(see above) or an idiot. 5.Lets remember there is nothing wrong with a good debate and there is no need for any bitching on my behalf or anyone else!

Or does the government own you? After all, many laws that exist today are based upon the state's ability to tell you what you can or cannot do with your life.

Socioeconomic Democracy (SeD) is a theoretical model socioeconomic system wherein there exist both some form of Universally Guaranteed Personal Income and some form of Maximum Allowable Personal Wealth limit, with both the lower bound on personal material poverty and the upper bound on personal material wealth set and adjusted democratically by all participants of society.

The median value of the personal preference distribution of either parameter is the democratically and societally desired value for that parameter. Apart from your own personal preferences for those two important societal parameters, you could also guess as to what the democratically determined values of the two parameters might turn out to be. Tons of good info regarding the many desirable aspects of, and the many societal problems solved by, SeD are easily searched. Enjoy and heave a sigh of relief! There is hope!

When in presence of people, I feel like I'm losing my consciousness. I'm overwhelmed by their perspective, by their "reality tunnels" and I literally see myself trhough their eyes, I feel their emotional response. It's like... I can be anyone but I can't be myself.

That's terrible. I want to LIVE my life again!!

Since beliefs are the result of: information, context, perspective, experience, focus, etc., etc., the interpretation or the "belief" extracted from the above info would be different for each individual. Therefore, since all people interpret things differently, beliefs only seem to cause differences, limitations, etc., thus, why do we have them?

I am an atheist, this means I do not believe in Jesus, in Allah, in Buddist or any other God. I did not make this switch lightly. I was raised as a strict Christan. The reason why I am an atheist is because for over 3000 years too many people have been using "God" as an EXCUSE to murder, rape, discriminate and marginalize. To make matters worse has anyone ever attempted to have an intellectual debate with a violent religious zealot? I can't speak for the Koran but I have read some passages in the bible that could not have come from Jesus, the God of love.
Moderate religious people tell them they do not interpret their book literally. That they use common sense and ignore cultural norms that were normal back then. This sounds kind of similar to atheism. I use common sense, compassion, logic, human rights and I consider the current cultural norms.
If you Believe in God?, please explain logically to me how your able to ignore or even believe some parts of your holy book?

Should essential service workers earn higher salaries and better benefits than the average blue or white collar worker?


Negotiations are quite often a sore spot between unions and municipalities when it comes to funding salaries. Fire fighters, Police services, health care workers and teachers often are not offered contracts to thier satisfaction sparking debates on whether or not the people who on a daily basis rush into fires, fight crime, save lives & prepare our children for the future are worth higher salaries, family friendly benefits and retirement options.

i mean i'm a virgin & hope to remain so until i meet a person i really love.(maybe this is because of my culture,i'm asian)by the questions asked,& the answers given,i see that a lot of people prefer non-virgins.i mean doesn't it bother you that your husband/wife has slept with other people before?there are even 12 year olds who are non-virgins.isn't sex supposed to be an intimate act between two people who are very much in love?even my friends keep asking me why i have such "dum" thoughts according to them.

ok.i understand,gaining experience is one thing,but actaully knowing that the person you're going to marry or is married to(the person you're in love with & want to spend the rest of your life with),did something as intimate as that-doesn't that hurt?
just asking your opinion-cheers!
