After what happened today at Virginia Tech I am wondering if police and forensics are able to create a profile of what was going on in this person's mind.
Please give informative and respectful answers only.

It took me many years to figure this one out! Intelligent men have known this theory for a long time; Riddle me this; When it comes time to Negociate for sex; Ture or not True; MOST WOMEN are holding a pair of "Aces" Where as MOST MEN are holding a pair of "2's"!

Even if my boyfriend or friends tell me they love me i have a hard time believing its true, i never had time near my dad and my mom was under depression because of my dad, she rarely hugged or told me that she loved me but i always knew she did, now that im older and shes remarried, she huggs me and tells me she loves me and even if i know its true it feels weird when she does it. i think its because of that that i cant see why or how someone can love me,like having that feeling towards me is very hard to have, its very hard to explain, im a happy person and live a healthy life but whenever someone tells me they love me im more like"oh i love you too" but inside i think to myself "no you dont" is it maybe something psychological?
i love myself, its not a depression thing i just dont understand how people are capable of having those feelings.

Don't people realize that raising the minimum wage hurts the middle class and those who have already retired?

If you make more than the minimum wage, they don't adjust your pay up the same amount as those who were making minimum wage... thereby making the products that use minimum wage labor cost more (you don't think the manufacturer or employer are just going to eat this charge - do you?)...and increasing the cost of goods. An increase in the cost of goods makes your over-minimum-wage paycheck worth less and brings you closer to those in the lowest earning segment of the population.
The thing that really gets me is why seniors don't get up in arms about those who want to raise the minimum wage. Those dollars they put away in the 50's and 60's are worth less and less as they raise the cost of goods. (That dollar they put away in the 1950's would buy a whole meal for 2 people at McDonalds.)
I just don't see how people don't see thru the forcing of people into a two class society.

I have a great life. Great grades, great friends, and I give great teen advice on how to deal with boyfriends or girlfriends, depression, stress, etc. I can pinpoint the start of any problem and solve it. I've helped someone through depression. But now I have a 'problem' of my own. For example, on the bus today I was listening to my iPod and my friends were talking to me, but I felt tired, and I can't really say 'depressed,' but that's the only word I can think of. It's like a lonely feeling, an unhappy feeling. Like I'm having trouble letting go of something. And what bothers me the most is that I have no emotions except for anger and happiness. Most of the time I'm happy, but other times I feel 'depressed,' and like I need to release some anger. I can't cry...I'm pretty sure I haven't since 8th grade [I'm a sophomore now], and I usually don't feel any sadness. And I can't even follow my own advice that would help any other person through the same problem. What's wrong with me?

Why is it always the same thing all of the time? The same attitude from co-workers, the same opinions in the world, the same treatment from others, but no stability really. Nothing changes and there is no settling into things either.

American Heritage® Dictionary:

fem·i·nism (fm-nzm) KEY

NOUN:

1. Belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes.
2. The movement organized around this belief.

Other similar definitions: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/feminism

You people need to stop slandering the word "feminism." It does not mean women who hate men, want to oppress men, want special treatment, etc. It simply means believing in the equality of the sexes.

If you are speaking about women (or men) who hate men, please use the appropriate vocabulary = misandry, man-haters, or if you really have to feminazi.

I think in a negative way, because I have had so many disappointments in my life I learned that if I didn't get my hopes up too much than I won't get my heart broken again. Also I have no more hope that my life will be good, ever. I lost all hope.
I wake up everyday thinking it's gonna just be the same old bad day. I sing that new song
from Martina Mcbride, Dream it anyway,
trying to cheer myself up, but I need more help.

I'm new to Answers, so this may be a reoccurring question. If so, please forgive me. I just notice that many of these questions could be answered with a simple google search or (this may be controversial) textbook. And, many of the questions are so pointed and aggressive that there is no way to properly answer the question without first clarifying/rephrasing it. The hostile askers don't really even seem to care what the answer is, they just want a debate.
SO MY QUESTION: What is the purpose of Yahoo Answers?

I'm sure you've been told, "In order to be loved and accepted by others, you must first love and accept yourself." It's easier said than done. But why is it so hard to just accept and love yourself as you are?

depressed mood and then later you feel
fine, and you can never understand why

has this ever happend to you, or do you even
understand what im talking about.
this may be strange to you, but not to me.

I keep on dreaming that I am in a public place and all of a sudden violence breaks out and I am in the middle of it. People start to run and I wonder what is happening and then riot police appear. In one dream I run down an alley only to find that it is a dead end and the riot is coming down towards me. In another case I am just in the middle of street violence- with missiles flying everywhere and people bleeding in the street.

Finally this could be unrelated but I also dreampt that my friend was trying to bring me to a protest march. I am not particularly political. If you have any suggestions as to what this recurring dream could mean I would be greatful if you share them with me.
