Economically speaking, what official economic category does Mexico fall into?

Is is officially a third-world country or not?

I have also heard that Mexico is the country with the world's most billionaires. Is that true?

And if Mexico is indeed a third-world country, then how could it have the world's most billionaires as well?

My first year was not exactly fun. In fact, it was like high school for me but worse. In high school I at least had a couple of friends that I could talk to, but none in college. I've been sheltered my whole life w/ really overprotective parents who still really don't let me do much of anything except study, so making friends has always been a problem for me. I wouldn't even admit I was depressed though until I was finished w/ college, so I'm scared next year will be just a repeat of the last. I even had trouble studying though b/c all I could do was turn off the lights, keep the shades closed, and sit in my room all day, a lot of the time w/o eating. When I did eat, it was the same thing EVERYDAY, 2 hamburgers for lunch and a box of macaroni for dinner. Of course I always went to class, but I felt extremely awkward being there. My parents don't let me do anything at home, but I'm not depressed now b/c I don't have to see people. Is it even possible to enjoy myself next year? TIA

Just an observation. I am not saying that there aren't lots of intelligent questions and answers out there, but why do people blame everything on "immigration" (which usually isn't spelt correctly).....

I'm trying to figure out a dream in which I'm walking through a cemetery and each of the tombstones I pass has a letter of my last name (example would be the 1st tombstone I pass has an A, then the 2nd has a p, and so one until my last name is completely spelled out.) If anyone has any suggestions as to any symbolism in this dream or any good dream interpretation web sites I would be grateful.

so those are questions that people supposedly want to be asked and it's friendly to ask them but i get mad and frusterated at it because i feel like it's none of thier business. why should they care? i never ask those questions because I know I'm not going to listen to what they say. i really hate it when anyone shows any type of concern for me. ussually i just say "good" maybe alternate it with "fine" and "ok" and "alright" so i don't sound so much like a broken record but what word i say has nothing to do with "how I am" or anything I'm just trying to answer the question with something. those questions are so hard to answer for me. i don't really translate what happened to me and how I am into words. I think it gets distorted in translation when I try to do that. i like my brain to just be full of clouds, not words. I also hate poetry and reading other peoples poetry. i get mad when i relate to poetry and "words of wisdom". does anyone else feel like this? is there a name for it?

I had a dream last night about a wolf trying to get into my house. The top half of its body was grey fur and the lower half was green. I need a dream interpreter quick. My dreams drive me crazy.

I had a dream about a black mamba snake. I was with a friend and he and I were playing around and he lifted me up off the ground to spin me around and that was when I saw the snake coiled on the ground just looking! What does this mean?? Should I worry? My mother said snakes in dreams means you have an enemy! Is this true?

This is my dilemma in a small charitable organisation. Do I compromise the manager/worker relationship by being too friendly? Advice very much appreciated.

If they do, how come you get a progressively higher score the more you take them? Is it that having a high IQ means you're good at IQ tests or is your intelligence actually increasing?

I've been burned by the last couple relationships I've had, so I'm simply trying to minimize risk. The same can be said of guys (about age being a predictor), but not to the same extent.
There are other factors, like whether she has a career that she enjoys & whether she has children from multiple men....but I think age is the most reliable predictor.
What are your thoughts?

And if the answer is no, do you think it is still meaningful to talk of people being more or less intelligent?

Indeed, do you think it is meaningful to talk of somebody as being an intelligent person?

What's more powerful than a locomotive, faster than a speeding bullet,
yet lighter than a feather and heavier than a raindrop?

The answer: Words.

Isn't that the truth? Tell me your thinking. Do you believe this is true or false? Do you think words are powerful? Both positively and negatively? Start talking!!

Some stats would be most helpful, but would appreciate considered / evidenced opinions too, even the circumstantial type. :-)

I mean even when they get everything they need from their husbands:FINANCIAL (2) EMOTIONAL (3)BIOLOGICAL still they want their own incomes, own identities.I want to know what's so insulting in being known as somebody's wife? As a result of competing with their husbands they are causing distress to themselves as well as their husbands and children.They forget that homely tasks are not inferior but complimentary.Many men also forget that having a wife at home is a tremendous asset not just for household tasks but also paying bills,receiving couriers etc. Yes there are some tasks like doctors/police etc where society needs ladies but those are exceptions.I never say that women are less capable than men but one should understand one's prioritiesespecially shouldn't children be the priorities after motherhood? Ofcourse if somebody needs money or is abused by her spouse then she has to work. Also a woman has the right to choose celibacy or become a childless woman.Then she can work.
