What is it called when a person makes up and circulates injurious lies about another when his intention is to COVER UP HIS OWN MISBEHAVIOR? I caught the boss's secretary stealing commission sales for herself on the telephone at work. The next thing I knew i was fired for supposedly making advances to her. In another case, a competitive salesperson in the same department where I worked was stealing from myself and the other employeees, voiding their sales and claiming them for herself. When I discovered it, she went to Human Resources and also, accused me of sexual misconduct. In both instances I was immediately fired without recourse. I know there is a process for "termination without cause" -- but that is not my question.

Another, broader example of what I'm talking about might be the Unnited States government's pretense that there were "Weapons of Mass Destruction" in order to justify the invasion of Iraq, it's labeling of all the dead in Vietnam as "Vietcong" -- etc.

I’ve been with my spouse for 8 years. We’ve been through a lot together and want the same things from life. We have two children together. [I’m a girl btw, pay no attention to the avatar.] I married when I was 19, had my first child at 21 and second just 1.5 years ago. I’m now 28. I love my girls and don’t want to tear their lives apart. I love my husband too, and he loves me.

The problem is that I love him in a way that’s not passionate. I don’t feel a strong connection with him anymore. He’s a good friend, and I still find him physically attractive, but I have no sexual desire to be close or intimate. I feel myself pull away and want nothing to do with it. We fight a lot. The root of those fights is arguably my own standoffishness toward him.

I just feel like I want to be free. I don’t want to have to answer to him anymore. Sometimes I think I married too young and had kids too fast and now my life is too far entrenched to get out. And so I despair and am very depressed.

like physical attributes races of people have seem to have certain social attributes as well. Such as races who overall seem more violant or domoniating, even races that appear more religious. It is possible that not all determining factors that define a culture are anything more than because of their race... I am curious about this because a question was posed to me yesterday and it made me think. I am not a racist but I have noticed that some things seem to be to prevelent within a race to be anything but.

I often find myself saying one word and then saying five other similar words to get to the word I really want to use to convey my meaning. I would like to become more precise with chosing my words as well as timely. I don't feel comfortable pausing for more than a few seconds to come up with a word.

Any advice or resources?

We often fantasize about certain things, at certain times & it's so relaxing, kinda elates you to a higher ground, so to speak. But a person's got to do what he's got to do. So poooof, you're back to the real chaotic, material world! Ouch!!!

I work with morons. Some days they annoy me to the point that I want to strangle them. Since I can't do that I usually end up in a horrible mood with a killer headache. Any tips for this that don't include quitting or violence?
