Social Science - 27 April 2007

I have recently started volunteering at my local Scout centre working in the office and shop and it has given me a great lift in life(walked home with a spring in my step & a smile today) does anyone else do voluntary work and feel better for doing it?

Have been to one meeting a couple of years ago but it seemed like a cult and I found the idea of people who'd been off the booze 20 years still calling themselves 'recovering alcoholics' disturbing.

Im 26 and am nowhere near the point of drinking at 8am or getting the shakes but i know i need to stop as i keep getting myself into negative situations and am using it as a crutch to relieve anxiety and depression.

I use it six nights out of seven and sometimes have one or two in the day depending.

Advice please

Ok I have heard this from several men...that men drive better than women? if this was so why would a 21yr old man having the exact same car as a 21 yr old female will actualy have the higher cost of insurance.

i really need a change, i think it's enough sitting like that. i need a changing point in my life. the past is chasing me, people around me are chasing me. i don't want to commit suicide although i feel i want to. i'm lost , what shall i do. i'm gaining more failures everyday. from where, and how shall i start. i tried much different ways but all were short and hence aren't considered a start. i tried using/creating different methods for this purpose. i tried to live it one day at a time, i tried to "just move"/"just live" i tried to start by studying my accumulated lectures(collage work), i tried to concentrate on my goals/eternal life. i believe in relativity and can't accept things at face value that's why i can't concentrate at any rule of them. i have dreams that i must achieve. what shall i do? am suffering???!!!

See we at the lower levels are getting a bigger break than we are led to believe by the democrats, also look at the economy its banging. Taxes will slow that down as more money flows into the Government pockets. That generally causes a slow down in economic groth thus yeilding less sales of goods and a down turn in economic growth.

So what other effects will this slow down cause?

There is poverty and hunger in this country, as well as other countries world-wide. If these countries cannot solve their own problems with it, how can it be solved by expanding it to countries outside of their own? Can we justify letting people in their own countries go without, with a grand gesture of trying to help everyone world-wide? I'm sure the rationality is to pool resources and hope everyone benefits, but we've seen that before, and in the end it just doesn't work. Sustaining people with food has always been a 'band-aid,' but the cure seems to still be elusive.

This question is for those who know psychiatric theory as practiced in the 1970's. At least educated guesses please...

Once, after I had a head injury as a child, a shrink who had seen a family member asked to see me, to look for ill effects. After I entered the office, this dude produced a jar of shelled peanuts and hands it to me. "Here, have a snack."
I pour myself some peanuts and start munching, but he takes the jar again and says, "No, eat them like this." He pours more into my hand until there's a huge heap there, pours himself a similar handful, and mimes eating the whole thing.
I thought it was outrageously funny that this important man would ask me to do this. I tried for a bit to eat the whole handful, without much success. Then he asks some forgettable interview questions. Later he says he found no ill effects.
What was this "half-full" test about? If it was about suggestion or authority, my finding it humorous influenced my response and ruined it.
