According to the survey by Transparency International more than Rs. 28000 crores(30 billion) per year is given as bribe in the public offices in India at a time when nearly 28% of its people go to bed on empty stomach and another 52% of people's daily income is less than a dollar ( Rs 40+). On the other side, India has made rapid stride in Science and Technology, has one of the best talent in the world in Information Technology and has achieved 9+ growth rate with a very impressive Forex reserve.Don't you think that if only the Corruption is less the achievement would be far greater and long sustaining?

I have an old friend (he's 41) who i bumped into about 2 years ago and invited him to join our once a week 5 a side football team. I had not seen him in a long time and we were good friends during our school days.
It would be fair to say that life has been harder on him than me as he is getting divorced, his kids are pissing him off and he was involved in a car accident in which he lost half an ear!

With all this going on he constantly gets angry and frustrated on the pitch, swearing and kicking at other team mates. And now he has turned on me saying that i don't pass the ball and that he has scored more goals than me. I never criticise his football even though he can only toe-poke everything!
To make things worse he is now playing 3 games a week and players are telling me he's running me down behind my back!

He is now dyeing his hair, waxing and drinking all week-end with the single footballers'. People are asking me "how do you know him?". Have i opened pandora's box?

But you don't do anything, you just sit there and keep your cool, smile and carry on as if nothing happened, bottling it all up.

Or is it just me?

Its concerns are, for example, equality in child custody such as shared parenting, subjecting men to unwanted parental responsibilities, equality in adoption rights, legislation addressing women's needs without consideration for men (VAWA), high incarceration rates and harsher sentences, the lack in health concerns for men (breast cancer v. prostate cancer; which has more awareness and funding into it?)

These are just some of the many examples of it-- more on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masculism

Do you think masculism is reasonable or a threat to feminists?

Other than being depressed and anxious, I keep having these thoughts that won't go away. Thoughts telling me something is true when I know that its not. I don't think this way all of the time, mostly only when I'm alone and there's nothing to distract me. But, when I do, it makes me very depressed. What's wrong with me?

it’s very boring, but please read through the whole thing
im a girl, going to be 18 this month
i come up with ways to embarrass myself, which i don't want to happen
a few years ago, my grandma who i lived with for a long time, asked me if i did anything she didn't know about
i told her no, not thinking about masturbation when she asked
if i was thinking about it and said no, then is that lying
cultures differ from countries to countries, but now im wondering because im korean, if i lied and if i should tell her now
i asked on yahoo about things related to this and now im depressed that because im korean if the answers that relieved me will change and if i have to ask all again saying that im korea to relieve myself
i think i came up with this idea of wondering if the answers will change because of the racism
my thoughts are getting complicated and depressing me more
my ocd is to do with guilt rather than the common rituals the ocd'ers do
i try to embarrass myself and have repetitive thoughts
before and after my early teens, i masturbated with bananas, objects, and rolled napkins and saw porn pics and videos on the internet
im masturbating and watching porn again recently
should i tell my grandma about my porn watching?
i lived with my grandparents for a long time, and they certainly sacrificed their opportunities to raise me to the best they can, so do i need to tell my grandma now about these?
do i have anxiety disorder, too? if i wasn't living with my parents i wouldn't be so keen on theses stuff as much as i am now
my thoughts are getting complicated and depressing me more
my ocd is to do with guilt rather than the common rituals the ocd'ers do
i try to embarrass myself and have repetitive thoughts
i have repetitive thoughts most of the times about my guiltiness and what im proud of
does obsessive compulsive disorder impair judgements because i feel guilty and i can’t judge if it’s ok or i did wrong
if i think that i did something wrong, then i can’t do anything well to my full potential and i lose self-esteem and confidence
do you think i should forget all about the guilt?
now im wondering if Koreans have a different view, and if it’s wrong not to tell or do these stuff
i got freaked out when i noticed if the answers i received on yahoo are from a different view because we have different cultures
most of the times, answers from yahoo relieved me a lot, it’s a feeling of going back to the starting point
do you think my judgements are impaired because of my mental condition?
Could you guys tell me if you have read the whole thing or not, too?

...some one feel better?

You don't see your inside when you look in a mirror. People don't look at what you've done with your life when they say you have crooked teeth. You don't have to know about what charities, if any, a super model has contributed to to see that she's pretty and that's why she's making her money. Guys aren't talking about your personality when they say you're too hideous to want to date you. Women don't count how nice you are when they rate your looks on a scale.

I was in a strange 3rd world looking place. I was in a large house unfamiliar to me. There was a man with black hair and black eyes. At first he seemed friendly and mysterious. Suddenly I'm laying in bed next to him and we're naked. For a moment it is exciting followed by extreme fear. I start to run away through the house and there are so many hallways that it takes me a long time to find the door. Then I'm outside and the man starts playing a wind instument. Unsure if it was a trumpet or a saxophone. There are other men outside who seem to be of some authority but don't look like police. They set his instrument on fire. He began to play another one and they set it on fire as well. The man disappears and there is a snake chasing me through the village. I come to a dead end and a man cuts the snake in half with a sword. When I woke up I felt as if I'd come close to something very evil. I know about snakes being linked to sex, but I know there was a deeper meaning there as well.

the following is paraphrased, and inspired the question:

----
And how have you chosen to honor your humanity? What is there left for us if all of creation falls around us? There is nothing. No hope, no dream, no future, no life. Unless we turn from the cycle of conflict toward something greater. If we are a dying people, then let us die with honor, by helping the others as no one else can.

-----

I don't understand.

-----

Because you have let them distract you. Blind you with hate. You cannot see the battle for what it is. We are fighting to save one another. We must realize we are not alone. We rise and fall together. And some of us must be sacrificed if all are to be saved. Because if we fail in this then none of us will be saved, and we will be only a memory.

You have the opportunity here and now to choose, to become something greater and nobler and more difficult than you have been before. The universe does not offer such chances often

Why would any man support equal rights for women, when maintaining the status quo, in theory, is to his benefit?

Why would any woman seek equality rather than superiority?

My answer (it might not be yours) is that our capacity for empathy, to walk a mile in the others shoes - our empathy is a measure of our humanity.

Matthew 25:31 to 45

Whatsoever you do to the least of My brothers, that you do unto Me

Whatsoever you do to the least of My sisters, that you do unto Me

Whatsoever you do to the least of My children, that you do unto Me

--

Is our capacity for Empathy a measure of our Humanity?

Why do these people become pharmacists in the first damn place, ugh!

SEATTLE - A federal judge has suspended Washington state's requirement that pharmacists sell "morning-after" birth control pills, a victory for druggists who claim their moral objections to the drug are being bulldozed by the government...Critics consider the pill tantamount to abortion, although it is different from the abortion pill RU-486 and has no effect on women who already are pregnant...."On the issue of free exercise of religion alone, the evidence before the court convinces it that plaintiffs ... have demonstrated both a likelihood of success on the merits and the possibility of irreparable injury," Leighton wrote.

The injunction effectively sets up a so-called "refuse and refer" system, allowing pharmacists who personally oppose Plan B to send customers to another pharmacy.
