95% of the World population uses the metric system and ISO Standards (like paper size, time and date notation, etc.) which the USA does not want to use.
If the USA does care for doing business outside the USA, why does it not convert to metric?
On the long term, not doing it would cost many jobs, and would be more expensive than the cost for converting to metric units as soon as possible, don't you think?
It looks to me as as if the USA is isolating itself.

I have had a strange dream last week and would like it interpreted if possible as it was very vivid and scary. I have a dream book but it is not in there!
Me and most of my family were walking down a street and down the bottom there is a hilly area. My mum and sister were ahead and came back towards me saying there is a dead body down there. I walk down and see a grassy area with a female dead body whose wrists are bound and she is on the ground in a foetal position faced away from me. She has platinum short blonde hair and is naked. she has a chemical poured over her body (which i use as a scientist in my lab). I phone the police but twice i couldnt get through, finally i get through to someone and tell them my location. I get a call back saying they cant locate me and where was i and to stay where i was. My instincts tell me it is the killer (i have no idea why!!) and i am panicking to try and get out of there, and tell my family we need to get out. Then i woke up!

I have a pornstar acquaintance who makes a decent buck off it. And there are several Yahoo groups built around the theme.

I have personally experienced "Breathtaking Beauty" as a literal thing. An instant of longing so intense that it causes the diaphragm to spasm with the force of a physical blow. Could it be a desire to relive that experience or kindle it in others?

Or is there some other psychological, physiological or cultural reason?

a. the Untied States’ GNP and Germany’s GDP

While many men state that they love women, are attracted to women, etc... why do women think (or pretend to think) that men are unattractive? Is it foolish pride on women's part to hate to admit they find men attractive?

On one response to another question, one woman said she only finds 0.1% of men to be "sexy". Is that true?

Why do women hate admitting that they're attracted to the opposite sex?

My theory:

It seems like a lot of women try to act like men are unattractive.

I think this has something to do with a "power" move by many women, as women want to hold the upper-hand and the position of power regarding sex & attraction, so they act like most guys are disgusting and unattractive. To many of these women, suggesting that a man is "sexy" or "gorgeous" is a means of submission to the opposite sex.

Men on the other hand do not care about this power ploy, as they find it trivial; and readily state that many of these women are "hot" and attractive.

I am!

I don't hoard junk. I collect lots of things that truly do interest me, and things that I enjoy in one way or another, as do many other so-called "hoarders". I love wind chimes, for example, and have a bunch of them. I also love books about various subjects (all of which I read). And I adore "nick nacks" that light up, make noises, and do other things. I'm a movie "nut".... I have many DVDs and VHS tapes, and I look forward to watching as many of them as I can when I have free time. I still have lots of childhood toys, photos, clothing, and so forth, and I'm overjoyed each time I dump it all out and reminisce as I look through all my "treasures".

How can this be an illness? Why do people refer to it as such? As I said, I don't hoard junk. How can the things I have mean that I'm ill if I'm happy and if my home is clean and organized?

I feel that she is trying to get rid of me, without being honest and upfront about it. Perhaps she does not want to work with me, but won't say it.

Could this be true, or more likely my issue arising?

I'm 29 and turning 30 in October. I feel like I'm looking ahead and able to see the stop sign now, almost like I could have or should have done more in my life. Well, I DO have a child (a 3 year old) so I know I have done some things great.

Tell me, is it just me or is my age considered "old", or an age where I'm "past my prime". I don't know if other people feel this or if it is just me.

What steps could one take to regain thier psychological youth again, or should I forget about it and just focus on aging.

Perhaps, I have a problem here...somebody slap me or something, I don't know.

Get back. Any comments are appreciated.

I just read an article discussing how people (women moreso) are viewed as less nice when they ask for what the want. In this particular article it was dealing with salary. I thought that it was interesting that in knowing what you want and asking for it you are considered less nice.
I have been called mean before and I don't understand why, I don't intend any harm on people and most of the times I am called mean I'm just protecting my own rights.

I guess my questions is it a bad thing to ask for what you want?

It seems like that I am always angry and nothing I do helps. I will engage in some of my favorite activities and that helps for a short while and then I am back to being angry. I do not really understand why I am angry. I have some things on my mind, however, it should not be enough to make me feel like this.

I dreamt of a dolphin sitting up in a sink in a restaurant kitchen and it was holding a grater between it's flippers. He (I thought it was male) was grating something that looked like pale yellow squishy cheese.

It finished grating the cheese but then it started grating it's belly. It was crying and screaming in pain but it kept going because it was doing what it thought was right. It finished grating and then it cut two lines into the top of it's chest and tried to put it's fins in it, and it was still screaming and crying but kept going because it was doing what it thought it had to.

While this was happening I was sitting in a dark room with a woman in a white coat sitting on my right and a man sitting on my left, but I didn't know them. We were watching what was happening on a dirty black and white moniter. We weren't allowed to help it.

I've tried to look this up but nothing covers what I dreamt.

Can anyone shed some light?

Thanks! Mich x
