Isn't it true that the national debt doesn't really hurt the economy, or was Ross Perot right after all? Can't we borrow as much money as we want to? Does the national debt really hurt the strength of the US dollar? Does it harm the economy in any other way?

This happened when i was a child ( 16 now ) , i looked out my window (in the dream ) and i saw a black wolf sitting outside , silently looking at me with a big bright eye. This light was frightening, it was some kind of an anxiety feeling. When I woke up i was shaking like a leaf, i run to my mom and dads bed, on my way i saw the microwave oven in the kitchen and with its digits shining i got panic. in my mum and dads bed i tried to calm down, but then i saw their clock radio , i could see a yellowish blurred spot of light from the digits and it was exacly as the eye of the wolf, so i run up from their bed with the biggest panic , i didnt know were to go i looked down my legs and they were really shaking. I have never been dreaming like this again, but it was so strong. The strangest thing was, that before this night my dad told me i looked very worried in my eyes, but i felt just as normal as any other day and i didnt feel strange at all...

My friend, who used to be a junky, says that heroin effects the way you think about the world. Junkies seem to be quite paranoid and cynical. I'm wondering whether this happens as a direct physiological result of taking the drug or is it a more complex result of having to find money to fund the drug combined with the constant threat of going into cold turkey.

I've asked my friend but he's just one of those people that gets really confused by questions like that. He’s got severe dyslexia.

I have a long distance girlfriend that I get to see about twice a month, and we have been together for a couple years now. At the beginning, we used to have sex all the time when we saw each other, now I feel like I almost have to beg for it. She swears she's not cheating on me, and always says I'm a great boyfriend. I feel sexually frustrated, and it makes me feel angry, and resentful, and makes me feel like I'm fuming inside. Is this normal? Should I get professional help?

Don't just say "jack off" or masturbate, if you don't have anything constructive to answer with, then don't answer the question.

Us old retirees, living on fixed incomes could certainly use some tax free money to help pay for our ever increasing costs for medications,deductibles,etc.
This is a classic case of big brother playing games with a tax system that is both rotten and obscene.

I need a straightforward and honest answer about this. I heard about that despicable woman who shot her husband while he was sleeping and took her children to the beach, and that woman who drowned her 5 children. It's very scary when Women kill their children. Why is this increasing? What can we do to help stop this?

For no apparent reason, I've been scared of everything lately. I just moved into a big new house and it makes creepy noises. When I hear one of those noises, I always stop what I'm doing, walk around and carefully search, I keep feeling like I'm being watched, I keep seeing things out of the corners of my eyes and they aren't there, and whenever I look in something that makes a reflection, like a window or TV, I am paranoid that I will see the reflection of something, and I'm terrified of the dark. It's really driving me crazy, and I can't sleep or carry on with normal activities or be in a room by myself. I'm in my bedroom by myself right now, at midnight, and it's scaring the hell out of me. I see a birch tree out the window, I'm paranoid that it's something else. Is there something wrong with me? I know I can trust God to protect me when I'm afraid but He doesn't necessarily give us everything we want, and I want not to be afraid. I don't even know what I'm afraid of. What can I do?

I have a nightmare staff who are all "best friends". Sex and the city types. As a group they decide who they like and who they dont and if you dont fit the profile look out. You are the victim of slander/harrassment, everything you do and say is wrong or stupid (and this is before you have gotten two words out) They have a very slanted veiw of what is going on in the office and will run to management yelling and screaming to get you in trouble every chance they get. Management takes their side. They are cute and thin and the management drools over them so they cater to whatever they want wheather it is right or not. I am a manager over these people and my boss chooses their side over mine. He has no respect for me or my position and has belittled me in front of my staff on numerous occations. I am being transfered to another store but I will still be under the same manager. Why do I feel as though I have to get my stomache stapled to get respect. any suggestions.

problems, i still have pride, morals, principles, and dignity, and im striving for the high ambitions i have in life.
so i get enraged when people learn about my adversity and hardship in life and feel the need to feel sorry for me, and treat me like a charity case, like somebody to be pittied, like im a tard or something..i no who iam, and what i want. so i dont need to be treated differently to everyone else, like theres something wrong with me. or abnormal.

i get so angry when i think about people treating me this way, that i picture batterin their skull in, not that i would but i get so angry..
how can i manage these feelings?

My daughter went to a mainstream christian church where it was explained to her that if she did not stop reading Harry Potter, she would allow demons into her life and she will eventually go to hell. Should I get her into therapy now or wait until she's older?

Example

I was just... I was fidgeting with a lighter and I wasn't really realizing it then I noticed, and I thought it was rude so I put it down on the table. But I put it diagonally across one of these squares.That's when I noticed that the lighter's length is exactly the same length as the diagonal itself. So I put it lengthwise, along the outside edge. But it fits there. And it fits like this, and like this, and this way, too. If I just split it in half, you know, it's got to fit somewhere. I mean, it really fits anywhere. I was noticing that the more you look at everything — this table, the objects on it, the refrigerator, this room, my nose, the world — suddenly, you realize that there's some sort of cosmic harmony of shapes and sizes. I was just wondering why. I don't know why that is. I know that it is.

I believe in science because no one can disprove scientific observations that are informative and truthful. I believe in evolution because there are data that proves that evolution occurred. I don't believe in Adam and Eve because wouldn't all of us be committing incest with each other?
