A slightly morbid question admittedly. But they say that buying a house, changing jobs, or getting divorced are the most stressful events you get in your life. Yet surely they can't be quite as stressful as finding yourself falling down a 500 foot cliff, hanging by the end of a hangman's noose, or up against the wall of a chinese firing squad.
My question is to those who have survived such a near-death experience, how much worse was it than the more "common" stressful events of life?

that THEY are the most important person in their own lives. To them I submit the answers to these questions.

Those of you who say you are #1 are in the minority, or you are lying. Most people do not live their lives for themselves. They live their lives for other people.

So choose:
A) Someone else is #1
B) You are selfish

Be honest.

I mean in a hysterically-evil-laugh kind of best.
Get those imaginations flowing! Kudos if you can think of a way NOT ever seen before (especially in a movie).

I feel very sad when I think of certain events in my life. I wonder if there is a reason for everything happening in life.

I hate to see others go through pain of any type especially emotional. I also hate to feel sad and don't know how to justify it.

Maybe it makes us stronger.......and able to weather storms later on in life.

From book definition it seems to me that inflation is a tax on the rich, but not sure the academic translation lives up in the real world

I told my ex girlfriend in an email that she was cheeky whore and and stupid ***** and she should leave me alone and never talk to me again.

I was Moving the next day after I sent that email and Before she read the email I went to her house and apologised and gave her a Teddy bear.

We talked and I gave her the bear and told her where I was moving to and we told each other bye. Before I left she told me she was afraid to read the emails. I told her to just delete them and that was it.

When I arrived at my new house I went on the internet, it was early in the morning and she was online. She told me thanks for the bear again and that she read what i sent her and that it was amusing and when someone insults her she just laughs about it. I told her I didnt mean any of it, and told her i was jet lag and was gonna crash. I appeared offline and she signed off two minutes after me.

My Question is: Why did she think that my insults were amusing and why she did she laugh about it?

I have asked other questions like this but I know that this one is way down the line of thought of having wholesome relationships and I just thought I would ask since I was a little serious but was just mostly curious as to what some people would say.

I never really thought about being in love with any of the ladies that I know but I wonder what would I have to be thinking or seeing that would indicate that I would be in love with one of the girls that I know.

Why is there no Men's studies under the Social Science category? Men's roles have changed but society seems to neglect this and the issues that Men face. A few examples...
1. Men facing challenges as single parents
2. Discrimination of Men through various government agencies
3. Why is there no help for Men who are victims of violence through spousal abuse?

I'm writing a story for my english class and she asked me to describe what i smell, only... i can't think of what a jungle smells like. It's a story about a girl in a coma but when she is in the coma [unrealistic but its just a story] she experiences a number of different dreams and one of the dreams i enter has a jungle scene and so i would appreciate it if u gave me some ideas of what a jungle smells like to you.
