In light of the fact that there exists "A Consumer's Surplus", Can One equally argue that A "Producer's Surplus" also exists?

If not, why?

Okay I am a procrastinator.

And I am also a student...this is a very very bad thing.

Now I know youre thinkg "well thats what most students are...as long as you get it done eventually youre OK"
But heres the thing.. I DONT GET MY WORK DONE.

I AM SO HORRIFICALLY HORRIBLE THAT I FLUNKED EVERY SINGLE CLASS LAST QUARTER AT COLLEGE.
And I dont really drink, or smoke, or party or whatever, i just dont do my work.
Im not motivated to do it, i know that isnt an excuse but i really WANT to do good.
but i dont do it!!

Can someone like, yell at me and scare me and motivat eme PLEASE!?
I dont know why I am so crazy and destructive, but it would probably also help to mention I stay up wayyy too late doing nothing and I shop way too much.

I wish they had a prescription for this version of STUPID PERSON!!! =((

Please help, any words will do...unless theyre UNHELPFUL words that dont have any constructive mean-ness.
Then you can just kiss my sneaker...because i really need help.

Why should men be the head of the house hold- the decision makers? Why do women put themselves down and other women down? I am curious. There is a lot of feminist bagging and its surprising how many women feel that they should be obedient to men - disciplined by the men in their lives, and I would like to know why?

I work in the oil field and I am gone 7 days on, and 7 days off....my wife is still in school. She told me about a month after it happened that she was rapped while in a womens restroom, the man was stopped before it went to full completion, but I am having some strong feelings of wishing I could of did something different to help her....or be there in some way? I try not to bring it up to my wife, for fear of makeing her fall into a depression. I was wondering if there was anyway I can overcome it myself, I have heard that forgivness is the best way but how do I forgive someone that took that away from my wife and I? Anyone that has similar cirrcumstances please leave an answer, I would like to know EVERYONE'S input. I also was wondering, should I get her tested for STD'S? We have had intercourse since that has happened, so should we know?

My mother was just reading an article in the newspaper about children give 'lower class' name (eg. Bruce, Wayne, Sharron. No offense.) or girls with 'girly' names or children with strangely spelled names are more likely to fail in maths and science.

Would you agree?

Firstly just like to state the following before i ask. That i suffer from depression, which i am not taking anything for. Regular exercise (weight training and cardio) and improving diet on a daily baises is keeping me happy on that end. But still get severe swings.

I had lost friends since i left my boarding school.They moved back to their country, or are far away. while i am still in England. My last term of university, and i havent made any friends. Even the 1 close friend i made, failed the course, and went back to France.

Now whoever i seem to talk to, or whatever the word is, we just dont connect ever. No matter what i try. I tried being overly nice, doesnt work. I tried being the exact opposite, works to an extent, but still people lose interest and leave.

How do i find out what is causing this? I have never felt more alone in my life. It causes me to think sucidal thoughts. How do i know what part of my personality is causing this? I just dont get this life

I have never been able to express much emotion in RL,I dont remember ever telling my boyfriends I loved them or being affectionate/loving toward them.Once when I felt strongly about someone i got angry about it and expressed it that way to them as I was'nt sure what else to do.

I do feel things very deeply btw,is it fear or just lack of "how to" or what?

Some people see pageants as just beauty contests while some see these as an opportunity for women to make an impact on society. Whether you see them as frivolous or important, everyone has a opinion. What’s your view?

I am from Lynchburg, Virginia, and my 6th grade science teacher told me that this was sometimes true. I have never seen a tail on a black person but I guess it could be true.

Have you ever noticed that you can 'feel' like someone is watching you.
How does this work?
How can a human mind actually know when someone is watching you when you can't even see them!

I have been attracted to this guy for a long time now. Nothing has happened between us. Not only did I find out he was a player but he seriously hurt a woman while training her (he's a personal trainer) This guy has been after me since mid last year. How do I snap out of it?

I paint on construction sites and have many male friends. My pay is equal now after 8 hard years. My only obstacles were men who had bad experiences with bad women.

I hear lots of people say they can't comprehend subcultures, like goths or emos, or about ideologies like white supremacy or fascism, or religions like scientology or jehovah's witnesses, or just behavior, like aggression or stubborness.
What is it about people, or what kind of people, do you personally not understand?

....and yet separately across cultures? (eg.native americans & african tribes) I guess what I'm asking is if the tool was invented by one person so long ago and then taught, or if several different people from different cultures invented it at the same time. There's a phrase that describes this phenomenon, but I fergot[sic] what it is...

First thing when I get on a plane, I memorize where the emergency exits are.
I am always planning a way out, when I take a walk and see a scary looking dude following me, I plan what I will do, and he won't get away with it in my plan.
I plan how I will escape if someone breaks into my house. I see my child playing on rocks and think how am I gonna get to hospital really fast, before anything even happens.
when I go camping in the wilderness, I check out the nearest hospitals when I am on vacation, I don't think I am being unrealistic? am I?
Am I just a worrywort?

The best gamblers know of the relevance of the evidence. The guy with the lucky rabbits foot, in the long run, is always proven to be an idiot! This is not an opinion, it is a fact.
