Is it possible to determine with 100% certainty that two people have produced exactly the same quality and quantity of work?

Even in sales or factory work people may be judged subjectively on factors such as teamwork, management effectiveness, and initiative.

When that is the case, how is it possible to determine with certainty that two “unequal” people have produced exactly the same quantity and quality of work?

And should, therefore, be paid exactly the same amount of money.

Lastly, who should be responsible for ensuring that t workers that occupy the same position (and ostensibly perform at the same level) are paid the same?

The company, the worker, or the government?

Ok so this girl I really like went to a movie tonight with me and a friend. A few days ago out of no where we kinda started hugging/cuddling, and there was a bit of making out. I asked her if it ment anything the next day and she said that for the moment no and she wasn't sure if it would and that she didnt want to lead me on. So today when we went I felt like she was totally leading me on... we held hands for about half the movie she had her head on my shoulder a couple times. However there were a few times where she kinda took her hand away when I reached out for it, when she got near my hand. On the way home she asked how long I liked her, I told her, then I thought Id clarify what happened and asked if anythings changed since we last talked about how for the moment she didnt see me like that. She said not really?! But it was a more quiet and mellow and took her a while to answer. So Im totally confused. Her actions say one thing but her words say another...

I have recently stopped caring about anything. I don’t care about work, my responsibilities, a higher power or sad to say, even my family. I feel the entire world is moronic, loves it and doesn’t want to change and I’m forced to live thru this hell.

I feel everyone is living in a mirage created by their own minds giving them a twisted view of a perceptive reality that is thrown upon all others who happen to be in the way. Society is nothing else then a reflection of what our minds conjure up through what is viewed, heard and spoken. Radio, TV and our air headed youth are perfect demonstrations of that.

Originality is dead and moronic clones are our future. Because of this view, I have a "Who Cares about anything since nothing makes sense and nothing truly matters”, attitude.

I just want to sleep all day and watch moronic TV while I crunch my teeth and criticize everything I see. I have tried to stop but I fall back in to it sooner then later. Is this depression?

I have a degree in Anthropology plus some graduate coursework in Humanities. However, I am no longer a graduate student. I am looking to make a career change and would really love to work in either of these fields. Could I find a decent paying job doing something in one of these fields if I've never worked in this industry before? I have operation management skills and have worked in the property mangement field for the last six years.

I'm currently 14. In school I have probably 3 very close friends who I am very extroverted with, I can say anything and arent afraid to say anything to them. Then I have 7 or 8 friends in school who I can partly be myself around, but sometimes I'm a little shy. It takes me a long time to truly open up to people and show them my very extroverted side. Also, with new people or people I barely know I try to be extroverted so they'll think I'm approachale, etc, but I usually just end up being quiet or feeling awkward. However when I'm around my friends with new people, I'm extroverted around anyone. It's like they give me confidence. Would you classify me as more Extroverted or Introverted? What can I do to open up to new people more without my friends' help? Please answer, Thank you!

I've been let down by many people in my life. I just don't think I can trust anyone anymore. I only feel like I can trust my immediate family and that is it. I'm honest with people and then they will lie to me. I do what I say I will, but they never seem to do their part. I don't feel like I have any friends that I can trust because the second something happens, they aren't there. It has always been like this. I've found new friends but I could never trust them either. I've been in relationships with guys that ended up breaking my trust. Whenever I let someone in, they let me down. I make the mistake of getting emotionally attached and then get left torn and in the cold. I want to trust people, but how can I when I am let down so much?

I seem to be attracted to people who are about as attractive as I am, but I seem not to be attracted to people who are significantly better looking (Except from a purely aesthetic standpoint) or less good looking than I am. In the real world, most couples I see are more or less equally attractive. Do people most often have crushes and fall in love within their own "league" so to speak, or do they "settle"?

We were really fighting for survival insteat of fighting to be successful? If we lived in a time where we had to hunt for our food everyday. If we lived when the threat of being eaten alive by a wild animal was a common reality. Where men and women actually depended on each other to perform certain jobs to ensure the survival of the community.
