Was this book scientifically valid? Were the people that wrote this book found to have a lack of credibility? Even if the research was valid, is it our duty to attack such a book?

I used to have some really super close friends that I could depend on for anything and felt totally comfortable with--we kind of split before h.s grad. and since, I haven't felt that same kind of closeness and security--it has been 4 years now--and I feel so isolated and I'm finally pursuing my dream career--going to college for what I really want to do and I'm finding out that nothing is worth it all unless I have close friends to enjoy it with. I've moved a long ways from home--thought I could start over in a new place--I used to be so obsessed with money and material things, and I finally get it--that none of it matters if you can't enjoy it with people that give your life meaning. I want to have a relationship--I haven't ever really dated before--just flings--I had a really close guy friend in h.s.--It was comforting to be around someone that knew you so well--and totally lifted you up with support and motivation. I've felt lost since and can't experience that kind of high.

This year I started my second new school within a year. It's good and i've made heaps of new friends and they are really nice.

But the thing is when they talk about people or things that have happened in the past (that I havn't been around for) I find it very awkward and left out.

What can I do when these conversations arise?

Isabel Lestapier Winqvist, 20, has dropped out because Swedes say the Miss Universe competition, airing live Monday night from Mexico City's National Auditorium, is degrading to women and weighed down by scandals.

Personally, I have never felt degraded by beauty pagents and this seems to be a rather odd decision considering that Sweden has won the pagent three times, which is a distinction that they share with very few countries.

Wot do you think? Are beauty pagents degrading? Is Miss Sweden doing a service or disservice to the people of Sweden by not competing?

Do we, as human beings, really know the reasons why do we exist in this world? Why did God create us or why did He choose us?

Guys, have u ever felt bored going through this life? Doing the same activities and meet almost the same people in every single day?
Don’t know why, this time, I’m experiencing that kind of feeling…

And I'm feeling the descent of my life…
The descent of my spirit, of my achievement, of my performance, even of religious services…

I know that’s not good for me…I know it’s bad to have that kind of feeling…

But hey! I’m just a human being… =(

Though I know having that feeling can cause something bad for me, why do I let it grow in me?

I’m scared I can’t stop it…
I feel too comfort to stay in my comfort zone… that what makes me afraid, I’m afraid I can’t get out from my comfort zone…

I hope someday I can think out of the box and leave my comfort zone… hopefully =p

can anybody help me..?
i need some suggestion..

thanks a bunch..

Just a random thought...do you think that we are judged by what we wear? I have answered this in an essay format, however, i want to hear the publics' opinion. So just tell me what YOU think.

I've just watched the film "Idiocracy".
The basic premise is that, because humans are free to breed as they like, natural selection favoured the dumb (because there were so many) and survival of the fittest had gone out of the window.

The film is set 500 years from now where, instead of being all sci-fi with hover cars etc, futuristic earth looks like one big advertisement board for takeaway food and trash tv. The American President is a former porn star and pro wrestler, designer clothes are made by fast food chains, and humans are barely one step away from being cavemen again.

Anyway, my question - do you think this future could be likely, given that the poorly educated breed more than the educated?

If you can, I ask that you do not repeat answers, I hope with this question to have a list of all feminist issues political, societal etc.

i.e. If I were to ask this question about conservative viewpoints (no correlation is being drawn, simply an example) some things that might be listed are..
~illegalization of gay marriage
~abolition of welfare
~immediate deportation of all illegal immigrants
etc...


Thanks everyone

These are my signs
-I get paranoid over everything, and anything. For example...a pen of mine i forgot was mine, i believe that i accidently took it from this person, but I didnt and I excessively think about it, and I have this guilty feeling. Also I fear of saying something because I always think as someone is going to judge me, or I feel like I offend someone, even if i didnt say anything wrong, so I always stay quiet, and i have changes in appetites like not eating, my skin breaks out, and my mind is always on it, and me feeling week.
-I am scared being around others and I fear as if people will think im not pretty enough or they would notice a flaw on my skin , so I stay inside my house, in isolation, once I even missed school because I didn't like the way I looked that day, and I was depressed.
-I always stutter when I try talking to others, and I fear if they think I'm strange, or they would judge me.
-I am very lazy, and I forget things alot, I even forgot my class scedual
