As the decades and centuries go by, are there more and more percent of people with mental disorders?

Perhaps because of eating habits or other things.. or maybe because more disorders are being officially created.

What do you think?

I'm a science major, and I would like your opinion on why homosexuality is beneficial to us. It does not allow our genes to be passed on and nor is it adapted. We do not bond with same sex partners for purposes of protection and nor have we been able to answer what this all means for Us.

Do you think scientists need to spend more time finding a connection between genetics and homosexuality? Or is it purely Nature vs. Nurture?

We have, however, been able to prove that female Japanese macaques engage in lesbianism for simply, Sexual Pleasure.

I would apprectiate well-educated answers.

One of the on-going political and economic issues is that of the minimum wage. Essentially there are those who feel that a minimum of $5.85 (now $7.15 in NY State) is just a poverty wage. There are those who believe that the minimum needs to be up in the $8.00 range to make it a living wage. Others believe that any increase in the minimum will create inflation and more unemployment of low end workers. What is your take on this?

I know a man who went to prison at age 19 and has to serve 17 years (for a violent crime - agg. robbery, agg. battery). He has been in for 4 years already. He has no family to go to after he gets out. Can prison change a person like this for the better, so that he can function in society after his release? How do you think a sentence of this length would affect him psychologically (consider the fact that he has been labelled as bipolar and paranoid schizophrenic).

The situation does not look good, but I'm interested in your thoughts on the possibilities of the outcome.

Mental stimulation has become far more important to women than sex. Maintaining a relationship incarcerated takes communication something men do not have the time in society to consider. Many more women are committing to felons. I do is the new thing getting the ring begind the bars.

2) it is inflationary for gov't to increase spending if:
a) the economy is at full employment
b) aggregate supply curve is flat
c) equilibrium real gdp is well below full employment
d) it also cuts taxes

2) federal expenditures and tax revenues change as the leve of real gdp changes
3) congress quickly changes spending and tax revenue
4) wages are controlled by the min wage law.

are both answers b?

I'll start off by saying I'm a 16 year old male. I haven't been diagnosed with depression or anxiety but I wouldn't doubt that I have it. I have never witnessed any death and have never seen a corpse in person. I'm certain I'm not a necrophile but I do get a strange thrill when I see real pictures of dead people. Just the thought of death fascinates me. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with the feeling of imminent death (I'm guessing those might be panic attacks). I don't think I'm clinically psychopathic but I wouldn't know if I'm crazy. I know there are millions of other people like me because there are thousands of death/black metal bands out there (that I really enjoy). What would cause this obsession?

There are so many areas in our life that we can fail at/feel unstatisfied with.

Are we all just destined for unhappiness? I know our life is filled with ups and downs. At what one point you'll feel on the top of the world, then a few weeks later you'll feel as down as ever...

It just feels as though everyday I'm living with a constant cloud over the top of my head, I try to keep myself but it never stops me having a few dispressing thoughts to myself.

I just feel I'm in a constant circle of having a period of happiness and confidence, but then always returning to state of unhappiness, affected by various things, like: (school) work, extra activities, health, socialising (that's getting me down quite a bit) or staying active.

Are there any ways, which you can learn to push those negative thoughts to the back of your head?
