What causes this?
would this make someone in their 30's behave and think like a child?
I think I read in some book one time, that if a person did not have a "identity" by the time they were a certain age that it causes them to revert back, is this the case?
What causes "dementia"? what is it?

I have a small book which lists small statements from ppl as to what they have learned in life i.e. advice to other ppl e.g. you know you have locked your keys in the car the moment you have slammed the door.
What piece of advise can you give that you have learned in life. The advice can be absolutely anything and 10 points to the best most original contribution.

Indian society and culture is structured and concreted over a period of 10000 years. We had a caste structure. The king, the administrators, the warriors, the spiritual leaders, the farmers, the merchants, the labour. This was structured to class people according to their place in society, so that society functions easily, with all contributing to run society to its best, in their own capacities. Modern studies show that when generations follow this pattern, the genetic structure of the human being moulds accordingly to their principle vocation. No doubt knowledge, wisdom and virtue are attainable or available to each and every class of people. But can a barber/farmer/spiritual leader be made king, and be trusted to run society to its betterment. Should society create reservations for this purpose; or in the interest of society should each class be content with his lot and vocation; for society to function harmoniously for never ending generations.

Suppose I want to borrow money from the bank for one year, but only if the real interest rate is 6 percent or less. The bank quotes me a nominal interest rate of 10 percent. The CPI is currently 185, and economists forecast that next year the CPI will be 190. Assuming that I agree with the economists' forecasts, should I take the loan? Justify your answer.

I've tried to figure this out on my own, but I just think that I can't grasp the concept?

I am enjoying this discussion about why 30ish people act like children.
My next question would be , do you think that acting like an "adult" is just that, an act?
I mean I see older people in their 60's or 70's act
more close to children than I do people in their late 20's - 50's.
Is it maybe that when you get married that your partner and you try to fool each other with the ole , "much older" "matiure" "adult" act?
Do you think that many over do the "grown up , professional act"?
Is it really kind of a sham or is it not?
Maybe that is why people who dont get married are more childish acting or maybe that is why they never got married.

I had an experience a day after my friend of 12 years passed away. I was parked in my car with windows up, no air running, when a large dark shadow came down the road and up to my window, through the window and flipped my hair. I am usually very psychic, and this made my hair stand up on my arms and neck. Anyone have an explanation?

We learned one today in English: repitition. Repitition is a means of persuasion in the story Julius Caesar and when you think of it politicians use that method quite often. Could we be over-exposed to it, perhaps?

I can understand why we NEED money. But most people are just too addicted with the thought of earning more & more without realizing they have no purpose for it. Some people are just happy holding lots of cash in their hands without knowing how or what to spend them on. It's a little ridiculous. I mean, is enough EVER enough? My neighbor spent all of his life working as hard as he can & obsessed with having a big wealthy bank account with lots of zeros. Has up to a year vacation, he wouldn't travel anywhere. still doesn't want explore the world, doesn't care about his family, his wife forced him to give his daughter one out of the nine houses that he has & he later on confessed that he wanted to commit suicide because he didn't want to give up his property. It's true. I was shocked. I could never imagined such kind of soul would exist . I mean, he has everything he needs, & it's time for retirement (which all of his coworkers already did) Why is it that people are so greedy

when they have sex with alot of chicks? Why is it ok for guys to have sex with alot of differnt girls and they are considered studs but when girl has sex with tons of guys she is considered ither a whore or a slut? I have never had sex but this judgement has always caught my interest. The only time i would consider a weman a slut or whore is if she was in a relationship with someone and cheating with him behiond his back. Men if they wher to do this i considerr them heartless bastards? Weman that aren't in a current relationship but have sex with meany guys i consider that they have no respect for them selves. What about u what do u think?

Not saying this in any mean way, i was just wondering why they are ugly? And when you see one you KNOW he/she is r-tarded. Are there cute/handsome r-tards? Why can't they ever work their arms-hands right? Why do they always yell illegible words? Why are they in high schools; what do they do in there? Do they graduate??

Hello, im currently a junior in high school, and my last yr of high school is around the corner, so i started to think what to do afterwars, and i always considered to be a surgeon, and i know medicine is a very serious profession, and that theres is very little room to screw up, so now im having doubts if to do it because i see myself in school right now, and i dont have that much of enthusiasm when it comes to do tests and hard work, also i dont think im up for all the work, and time that i have to spend...and well im shy person, like if im in a group i wouldnt talk unless someone does to me, and i cant keep up a conversation, and I know if i wanna be what i wanna be in life it would take all the things that im having problems with. so im afraid if i cant do it at all.
