How common is it to not have hope for the future. I'm in my early 30s -- I used to think there was always hope for happiness but I don't believe it anymore. Is this what happens as you get older? Does hope only belong to youth? Do we all have to just shut up and settle for mediocre happiness (if even that)???

The Open Door Policy signing in 1899 would trigger lots of trade between the US and China. Since then we have imported a multitude of items from China and it is a vital asset to our economy. China being a communist country, also has had a significant problem with human rights. Many people and groups have called for the democratization of China to ensure equality and be an example to other nations in the area. I believe that any huge governmental, political, or social change is very tough on a country's economy. So if China suddenly pursues the path to democracy rapidly wouldnt that, in turn, hurt the US economy? Everyone wants equal human rights, but would this bring greater good or would the complexity of the situation grow?

Would you accept it? It would be interesting to compare and contrast the answers today to those 50 years from now, if we're around that long.

I've noticed some people with a lot of points who answer a lot of questions, have yet to ask one of their own. Why might they do that? I would think that they would want to be intellectually curious on topics that interest them.

Every night for the past week I've been having a dream (or nightmare rather) where my boyfriend has been cheating on me with different girls. I know there are some books that explain why your having certain dreams, like it's some pshycological thing. And I was just wondering if anyone knew what it meant or if anyone had a book that told what it meant. I know my dream is not trying to tell me something, or hint anything to me, because I dont believe in that witch craft, voodoo, or mythological sorta stuff. I just heard it is pshycological.

are there any adverse effects of LSD? because i have not been able to find any. school and other anti-drug corporations, instead of listing the dangers of LSD, simply say: "it's bad for you". LSD has a 50% success rate for the treatment/cure of alcohol addiction (compared to 10% success rate with AA) and also (according to a study done when LSD was legal), a majority of those who took it claimed to have experienced more positive, happier cognitive shifts. many people (such as the man who thought up the double helix structure of DNA) came up with their ideas while under the influence of LSD. furthermore, LSD is not addictive, has a rapid tolerance build up (keeping people from constantly taking it), and has caused very few deaths. plus, the negative side effects are no worse than a prescription drug: can cause damage to infants during pregnancy and 1 in 500 cases it may cause temporary drug induced psychosis.

still: don't the positives outweigh the (few) risks?

I am 20 years old. I have a problem with people getting drunk, partly because I don't like alcohol and partly because my family had trouble with alcohol years ago. I am worried about these people wrecking there lifes because of alcohol.

I hate nightclubs, they are too loud and I am against drugs and women making out in public.

Due to these views I have no mates, they all love the things I hate and we have grown apart.

I don't know how to move forward without the issue of alcohol coming up again.

When I am getting close to a women I try to destroy it for myself, partly because I get nervous and I hate feeling like that and partly because she proberly goes clubbing with her mates. I also have issues with trust.

I want to get a well paid job but I have trouble with learning and I lack motavation.

The people I am going to work with are going to be bottom of the barrel and I know my ego and political views will cause trouble trouble between us.

Anyone got any advice?

I learned is school that the Fed uses 3 primary methods to "guide" the economy. (1) Raise or lower the Fed Funds rate (which is the rate banks pay to borrow money), (2) Raise or lower the Deposit Rate (Which is the percentage of deposit funds that banks must hold on hand in their vaults), and I can't remember (3)... Anybody know this last one?

what i mean is i've realized that people who were born and raised in privileged levels of society have more harmonious facial features than people who were born in less privileged ones.
I'm not talking about beauty per se but rather a harmony in facial features that is almost distinctive to upper economical status.

A person that I know, has tried everything that he can think of to help him with his depression. He has done the psychotherapy, anti-depressants and has even gone to the extent of Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)...but nothing has worked. He's basically tired of trying...and the doctors have basically told him that theres nothing else that they can do for him. Does anyone else have any ides that may help? Even if it means something from another country? Help please...he's basically at the end of his rope...he's tried a couple of times to commit suicide...just because he's so fed up with it. Any serious suggestions would be great!
