Im 56 now and the years are flying by, when I was young it didn't use to seem that way. When I was a child it seemed like it took forever for just one year to pass. Why is this?

Why is animal abuse now so popular?
Its darn right terrible! Why would anyone do such a thing?
Why!? Animals are like us. Im sure they too have feelings, I mean call me crazy, but they are hurt just as well if someone abused human kind.
By all means, I will never support a circus that has elephants in it. I know, they abuse the elephants.
But, it's so hard not to do the things that we are already use to, meaning like eat meat when the cows, chicken, and pigs could be easy abused in machine factorys. Why? Why does our society have to be so cruel, make hurt, and destory?

Or worse. I don't know how to put this in a more optimistic way, so I’ll just be honest. As I get older I just get more and more responsibility, and less pure, untainted pleasure. When I was kid I thought life sucked, but it was fu cking good fun. Kids are a hell of a lot friendlier than adults, less needy and fake as well. And when I look around adults don’t appear to be having a blast, unless their trying to be young or trying to be happy, but can you try and be happy, I mean aren’t you just happy or not. And money, have you noticed that that is all anyone wants. Lots of money.
Have your adult days out weighed your childhood days, or vice versa?

I have this sort of thing where I will lie about something to make up a good story. Like something I did. And I will always tell myself this to believe it. How do I stop that? It's irritating.

I'm not racist, but, I can't understand why they want to leave something that is theirs. Seems like every other race is trying to hold on to their culture except them. I do think they should speak our language if they want to be a part of the U.S. A lot of our citizens are unable to read, write or spell. Why not pour that money into our own education and all speak English and they can follow suit.

I'm a senior in high school and I realize the time to choose a college major is coming quickly. For a long time i've been thinking of an English major, lately psychology is somewhat intriguing as well and studying the inner workings of people's minds seems interesting. What is a psych major all about? Where does it take you career-wise? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

had some very strange dreams when I was a child. Afterwards I would go to my mother and tell her them. Sometimes I thought they would come true. But of course they never did.

Anyway, I had a strange dream the other night, that I cant make sense off. I dreamed I was at Disney Land, but I was not visiting it I was one of the characters only it was real I was really that character (not just dressed up) and it felt really bad and made me really depressed like I was stuck there and couldn't escape.

Then for some reason I just got really fed up in my dream and screamed out I want to be away from here and my dream changed and I was dreaming that I was at an air show with an Opera member whom I've never met in person. (who for some reason was my best friend in the dream)

We were watching a new jet doing all kinds of stunts. It was twirling and flipping over in the air. All of a sudden it stopped. And then it fell, straight towards me. I thought to myself that I should run away but I didn't. ( I think my friend ran away though.) The plane just came hurtling towards me faster and faster.

Just before the plane hit me I heard someone yelling out your the last of a breed then the plane hit me and as soon as it hit me I woke up.

It was strange how I didn't even feel afraid. And I don't really know why I had this dream. I didn't watch any movie or show on television about plane crashes that evening

So can any one else help me make sense of this.

I also always had dreams that i could breathe under water, anyone know what that could mean?

Most couples therapy is not affective. However, there are forms of counseling couples who are angry and frustrated and are near breaking up. If anything in couples therapy helps, what form or style of therapy is most effective?

There is something that is inhibiting me. Something like I mustn't hurt other people so when I punch, I never punch good enough. But I must protect my honor. What to do to overcome this?

You wake fully changed emotionally, mentally & physically

Rules: don't say you be gay or a lesbian (you don't know that because you in a new state of mind) please
No saying you have sex or play with yourself
you can't change back
you don't choose this
You do have your interest changed a little (NEW life duh)

i probably would break down for a few hours and then try live life as my new gender
Shopping new clothes and videogames after i done getting all
necessary thing for my new life

It seems as if everyday we hear about yet another dangerous product from China. I know that businesses are primarily interested in lowest cost. Labor costs are extremely low in China. This is why so many products on store shelves are "Made In China". Should something be done about Chinese imports and this large trade imbalance?

So I found them cuddling in the couch this afternoon. I envy those closeness and comfort. I recently argue with my bf, that's why we haven't talked or come in touch for days....

Is this just a female instinct, or is there something wrong with me here...? I do love my brother though....

So why can't men who do the same claim testosterone overload?
Why is it if a women’s hormones lead her to kill it is understandable but not for a man. Most violent men who commit crimes have high levels of testosterone and should therefore be held to the same standard as murdering mothers, right?

I thought that higher income people saved a larger percentage of their income so I would have expected the national savings rate to increase with the growing income inequality.

Here's the scoop: I'm very big on communication within a working environment (and or a relationship). However I find upper management is not listening to me when I express my concern about specific issues within the company and my department. Unfortunately at our company things have turned sour among the team leaders and members. I have repeatedly expressed my frustration on specifics that hinder production. Management's response is "X", I tell them I've done that already, they come back with "Y' I tell them I've done that too. At that point I may get another brushed off response that is supposed to pacify me while I'm waiting for them to get back to me.
The latest is training in another department -no one in that department will train me, I've went to my superior and she acts like its okay you'll do fine. But the reality is I know very little about the duties of the position I'm being thrown into Saturday and no one is hearing me when I say "I need more training".
