When you think about it, getting drunk is very much a visual experience... I wonder how it effects someone that is blind. It would probably be really scary and not fun at all. What are your thoughts?

in the context that unless they themselves have experienced it (or someone they have regular contact with), they dont understand it.

example: drugs. some people do it until their best mate dies of overdose.

others dont do it at all.

is this a psychologic problem or am i in the wrong section.

A very close relative of mine started to act extremely abusive the last few years, she curses a lot more than she used to, she insults her daughter very much and for no real reason, she is stressed and looks for solutions for problems that ... other people have. She is very concerned on the problems of her close ones, that she is stressing them very much, always find silly solutions, she is trying to force them or blackmail them into doing what she thinks is right (though all those problems should not affect her in any way at all). She gets mad out of the blue, one time when we were on the phone she started to get angry while she was telling me someting, she was just talking, i was listening and she would get more and more angry.

She is 61 years old, divorced and suffered from cancer 10 years ago (she is now healed). I had to mention because she had a hard life, so maybe all the stress she had leaded to this.

Does anybody know what her behaviour means? What could help her?

Anorexia may seem a long way away for those of you that want to go very thin by diets etc., but it is just around the corner.
Why do you feel it's good? Arms as thin as a twig? When I see a very skinny girl out on the streets that still think they're not thin enough, I think Yuk.
Food is meant to be eaten. It is biological to eat. Why refuse that?

i took a gamble and made a move. it ensured a career but it cost me a girl and friends. i moved home after and worked on the career/focused on advancing, took time off from girls/not many hookups and two years later i'm on the right track, back out there searching for girls/more opportunities, etc. does sacrificing your present for the overall good of your future balance out?

I've heard of this before but I was just wondering. A pastor friend (neighbor) who I have lot's of respect for told me that he has encountered many times demonic spirts within people...he said they are "cast out" by calling on Jesus. He said these people have spoken to him in very deep male voices coming out of a mid-aged woman. He said that he has seen this dozens of times in church and street ministry. He said when he first encountered this it freaked him out...but now it's very common place...he's not frazzeled at all.


your thoughts please

It's been the second day back to school and it has been utter rubbish. I get bored so easily. I look around me and everyone is happy and got each other. When I look at myself I feel down and alone. I have amazing friends but they never seem to know when I'm down. We go out to lunch outside and they complain that they are bored and I'm like deep down 'yeah because I'm boring right?'.
Then some of my friends have these little comments that hurt me like 'you have no friends' as a joke and I don't know wether that she is telling the truth or joking and it hurts me. There's this other friend that is so sarcastic and rude, but she didn't use to be like that before the summer holidays, she's been there for me when it matters though, and she just talks to me like dirt-she says 'shut up' in a rude way, or 'skank' so I'm like what.
I feel like I'm going to explode either in crying, anger or hurting myself.
I need help..

Do you think that if by restricting all methods possible to ( obviously there are always ways ) commit suicide, that the homicide rate would increase, do to the fact that people would focus their depression outwards to the public rather than hurting themselves to relieve the stress and anger?

i also dreamt once that a ghost/sprit had possesed my body... he came inside my body and i feelt weight less and weak .. like i had no control over my body and the spirit was pushing my soul aside in my body and taking control over it.
i was trying to fight it out of my body but i was too weak and weightless... almost like i was floating inside my body.

Currently the United States dollar, and (as far as I know) the rest of the world's currencies are fiat, that is there are no commodities (gold) supporting the value of the money system. This system is enforced by the Federal Reserve System in the United States, as well as by the other central banks in other countries, who are charged with maintaining monitary stability. They, however, do not seem very well equiped to do so, as can be attested to by all the problems created in the economy by their bad policies (for instance the current "housing crisis" that was caused by the Fed keeping interest rates too low for too long post 9/11). I believe a market based solution would be a better way of insuring monitary stability, however, I can see no way to do this with our current fiat currency. I believe it would be possible to do so with a commodity based currency, however, to do so would require deflating the dollar enough to a point that the USA would be destitute.

2) Why do you as an organisation delete answers which are carefully worded and not intrusive.
3) Why when I have asked this organisation before regarding the above have you not replied.
So anyone there in your head office willing to answer this.

with her parent when they began to recount the events on the way to school the previous day. The school bus driver had instructed all the children to be quiet and sit back into their seats. The driver made a radio call to his dispatcher at the bus line. He was heard by the child to have said," I have to use the stick to slow the bus down" fear swept over the child and the child placed the blame for that fear upon the parent, with hitting, yelling and screaming, The child did not know how to express the fear to the parent and the incident was misunderstood to be a tantrum. The parent was not responsible for the brakes failing on the bus but the child could not understand.Who should the anger be directed to and how does this child have peace again, even a good breakfast will not let the child cope with that days fear.

I know this sounds crazy but hear me out. Alot of my dreams connect to future events in bizarre ways. Yesterday a kid in my classroom was talking about his friend who had alcohol poisoning and i had a dream the night before that some guy was drinking a bottle of vodka in his car and he was spraying it everywhere making a mess. It was like a party kind of scene in this dream im having. Now i cant think of any other connection besides what that kid said in my class. There are other times this has happened to me.
