America is free like other countries, wealthy like other countries and the media has negative influences on the youth like other countries but why only in America people kill each other so much?

Not misguided or mistaken or fallen into bad company or had a horrible upbringing or has a personality disorder, but out-and-out evil in every way.

Do you even believe this is possible? I'm just interested to know if people have encountered an evil in humanity that cannot be explained away by modern psychology or sociology.

I watching Oprah and she had a show on happiness. This doctor on the show said that a lot of people have "destination addiction". This is when you think that life will be good when you reach a certain goal. I think like that all the time. I keep thinking I will be happy when I get married or get more money. How can I be happy now? Is anyone out there who makes the most of each day like they say you should?

Women who dont work and have never really had a job irritate me because they are always bragging on themselves.
It may be because I have worked and raised 2 kids with no father. He had a fling and I ended up winging it on my own. It was not a choice unless of course I lived on welfare. Do these homemakers who do such a great job think women should go on welfare to stay at home with their kids? Is it that important?
Do you know anyone who is a homemaker and what do you think of them?

I'm currently volunteer at the hospital, I volunteer at a gift shop. Sometimes I do my best and most the time it hurts when I help out there.
People always give me bad comments on how dumb I must be working the cash machine. Like when a man came, I scaned his items, and I was in middle of transaction, I got stuck on what he was talking about, and everybody was talking and yelling at me. He said "What? You cant do math?"
-I got really angry and confused. I've been doing advanced algbra....That's what I called true math*

I got really confused...I hate when this happens to me. My manager and co-workers say I did a great job.


I hate people when they are being crueled to others I hate them alll!!! Why does this planet has to have an unforgiving people, with heartless hearts.

So heres the question....How can I take the heat being criticized by an older person or others? What suggestions would you give.-Thanks

First let me just say that however someone else chooses to live is not my business. I wondered though what you think about Sylphide's assertion that she is ''a normal young woman''? http://www.sylphide.de/estart.htm

The lady has a 17 inch waist (obviously not naturally) and states:

" It should be normal to wear a corset. My boyfriend already admired my naturally small waist and he often dreamed of how it would be if it was even smaller."

"I think that it allows other ladies to lace without to be connected with prostitution. "

""Often I didn't want to get up in the morning because of the lacing and the resulting unpleasant feeling. Therefore I started wearing the corset day and night."

"you save a lot of money by wearing corsets, you're going to attract even more attention than with most expensive clothing!"

"I wear my corset permanently and even feel a bit uncomfortable without it. "

Mentally disturbed or a 'normal' young woman??

Hi everyone!

I've recently become a registered psychologist, dealing most with depressed and suicidal individuals. I have received many questions and comments about what perspective of psychology I belong to (both on line and on the net) and I have responded with the fact that I am a bit of a mixture of all perspectives – each perspective brings something else to the table. This got me thinking about a possible new field of research that I may be interested in carrying out. I was thinking to study the various views on depression depending on the various areas of psychology. I am asking for opinions. What is your perspective on depression: is it chemical, emotional, etc.? Why do you think so? I hope this makes sense.

By the way, not to worry, I will not be including any of this in research. I was just wondering if the general people thought it was a worth while study. Psychology is all about people. No point studying something that won't benefit them. Any questions, just conta

Ok, for the past few weeks or so I have been dreaming about this person. I don’t talk to this person at all anymore but I keep having repetitive dreams about this person. In my dream he is usually just hanging out with my friends and me. If I don’t even talk to this person anymore, why do I keep dreaming about him?

I heard an prediction of the future economy and how it will go into a depression at around the year 2010. Their reasoning was that the massive number of Senior citizens from the baby boom will start to retire and it will significantly lower consumption because of the fact that senior citizens do not spend much money due to their fixed income thus reducing our GDP. This (according to these people) will cause a chain reaction to reduce spending and increase savings thus leading us into a depression. What do you think?
