How to please others? Is it necessary to please others? How to keep others satisfied? Best way to please others is doing as per demand but it is not necessary to express own views? If we express, others get irritated.

I think my girlfriend has BPD. We have been dating 6 years and I love her to death, but no matter what I do she complains that I don't love her enough. She is HORRIBLE when we fight and says and does the most hurtful things. She also has a wonderful side that I fell in love with and get to see from time to time. Disagreements start much like they would in any other relationship, but she gets so cruel so fast that it escalates into something really ugly. How can I deal with her when she gets like this?

I like keeping up to date on the situation in the country in the world with the highest UN "gender parity" ranking, fjordman's blog is quite good for that:

http://fjordman.blogspot.com/2005/12/immigrant-rape-wave-in-sweden.html

"The number of rape charges in Sweden has tripled in just above twenty years. Rape cases involving children under the age of 15 are six - 6 - times as common today as they were a generation ago. Most other kinds of violent crime have rapidly increased, too. Instability is spreading to most urban and suburban areas."

"According to a new study from the Crime Prevention Council, Brå, it is four times more likely that a known rapist is born abroad, compared to persons born in Sweden."

"Lawyer Ann Christine Hjelm, who has investigated violent crimes in Svea high court, found that 85 per cent of the convicted rapists were born on foreign soil or by foreign parents."

Oh BTW the woman in the picture was *actually* raped, not "I was too confused to say no, not sure if I should tell anyone" raped. That's generally what an actual rape victim looks like.

Anyway a tripling of the increase in rape in the most "progressive" country in the world is rather interesting... what on earth could have caused it?

I recently found put that people think of suicide on average at leats five times throughout their life but i've thought of it way more and am quite young. I think sometimes it's just to put on the dramatics but others i really think about how i'd do it and stuff. like for example, if i was to take my own life i wouldn't cut, shoot myself or anyhitng that hurts, i'd probably gas myself or overdose on some kind of prescription pill. wow...i really sound suicidal but i actually have a great life, sometimes i'm a bit of a drama queen i reckon. phew...now that i've vented, on to the question!

People have always talked about how technology killed a lot of blue collar jobs, and the counter-argument to that is that technology simply changed the nature of the work. Be that as it may, are fewer people still needed IN TOTAL? Stated differently, will technology lead to a society with a tiny segment of the population that owns everything while the masses live in abject poverty, only surviving by finding crappy jobs every now and then and/or being given just enough to get by from the ones on top?

I'd like to think that technology will make things better for people on the whole; human progress. Does anyone have an opinion on this one? Also, I'm wondering if anyone has unemployment stats from, let's say, 100 years ago.

Hello , I am 23 and I just got out off a 3 year depression , I am feeling good right now , just doing this new things like going to the gym , interact with people in parties and not drinking too much.....

But there are still moments that i feel very compulsive, for example: I went to talk with a classmate that look familiar , and I asked her if she was taking a biology class, and she looked at me if I was a stranger( obviously) and say that now I am sorry....

In some way in this silly moment I felt somewhat down , I think that I maybe wanted her to see me in a less cold way.......

So as stuff like that that makes feel very weird inside .......

What advice can you give me Except : Seeing a therapist because I already did that ..... thank you

I have noticed that when I encounter someone who I don't like (and I make it obvious enough so that there isn't any confusion), the person, without fail, will start petty conversation. i.e. "How are you?", "What have you been up to?", etc. Honestly, do they care and if not, why don't they just leave me alone?

Can two people who don't like each other be in the same room without bothering each other with such unnecessary display of politeness?

Also, I have noticed that these conversations normally drag on when there are other people around (especially when there is a mutual party). There hasn't been a situation where the mutual party doesn't know of my feelings towards the other person. What is your two cents on the reasoning behind this?

What is your opinion on petty conversation?

I am currently in a college economics seminar and part of the assignment this semester is to choose a country and study their economy. Some of questions being why some nations are wealthy or poor, or why these nations take their positions. Or, whether there's an economic incentive which play into both of these factors. Other things they'd liked talk about would be stuff like MB and MC, and just in general developing a view on why these nations think what they think.

The country that I chose was Germany. However, if anyone much more versed than I am in this (which is many, I'm sure), then it would be a huge help to hear some suggestions on, based on the information I've given you, what things about the German economy would be great aspects to study or certain events or things that you think would be beneficial to learn about for this paper. Or perhaps certain controversial issues. Anything that you can think of would be great and worth looking into. Thanks!

I was at a cofee shop and a girl asked if she could use my cell phone to send a "really important" text message to a friend. I thought about it and decided it was not a good idea, as now she would be able to get my phone number from her friend, so I said no.
She got upset and said that I was rude and inconsiderate and that I "would be kind of hot" if i were a nicer person.
My reply was "And you'd be a lot cuter if you had your own damn phone!"
Was this rude? My girlfriend thinks it was a little rude, but my buddies think it's funny. What do you think?
