I was answering to someone...then I stopped...I told myself "possible another fictitious story".

Would you dare to post lies? I mean many of the people that answer, take time and thought for that. Wouldn't it be a lack of respect for others?

Thoughts?

p.s. Of course there are stories that are obviously absurd. I am referring to the ones that "could" be true.

I was just reading an article by Peter Coleridge in which the Oxfam's Middle East coordinator reveals his fears and hopes during five days as a hostage in Lebanon.

We all have in our life our moments of heaven and of hell: would you like to tell about an heavenly or an hellish situation you are living or lived in the past?

does reading peoples questions that you know (IE people you know that ask questions, just to simplify that sentence, it sounded a little confusing!) give you a further insight to the goings on of that persons mind?

it would really help me if you have statistics to prove your statement...! like..do you think it is helping to reduce the US trade deficit and did it cause inflation? This is for my Econ project and i'm kinda lost.

In order for evidence to be of value to the case it must be
sent to the lab.

-handled with gloved hands only.

-fully documented at all stages of the investigation.

- collected and studied only by the forensic scientists.

-photographed.


If you found a letter at the scene of a crime how might it be processed for evidence?
labeled with a felt-tip marker and stored in cellophane

- study the person’s handwriting to identify the criminal’s personality type

-examine the design, shape and structure of the letters and words

- don’t bother looking for finger prints, it is just paper

- all of the above


In document analysis which item and evidence do not match?
paper type-->age of the document

-handwriting-->period of time over which document was produced

- ink type-->age of document

- letter structure-->specific machine or instrument used to produce document

-handwriting-->attitude and emotion of the author at the time of writing

My father-in-laws marriage is falling apart. Why? He's in la la land day in and day out. He doesn't concentrate well on tasks, and recently was placed on disability with his employer because he can't stay focused at work.

Does he want to get a new job? No. Is he concerned about how the bills are going to be paid? No.

He's not concerned about anything. He is a Christian but has a warped view and just repeats "God will provide".

He doesn't concern himself with any of the affairs of the house, paying bills, organizing the budget, cleaning the home, doing laundry, keeping himself showered and clean.

He does what he wants to do when he wants to do it. He recently went to a counselor provided by his work. He didn't even mention he was having marital problems! Yet that's all he can talk about when I'm around him.

I'm coming to the conclusion there is something wrong in his head. He's had brain surgery twice in his life, but he'll never admit he has a problem.

What's wrong?

I've seen my Physics teacher ask every one of my friends their favorite color and food and correctly guess each one's mindset (introvert/extrovert, nerd/easygoing and the like). So, what's the trick?

Also, please tell me, if possible, what other seemingly trivial things can give a person's mind away and how.

I would appreciate really expert answers for the last part.

I assure everybody I will NEVER misuse this info

i visited the url
http://www.lightinlife.com/index.php?opt...
titled "God of Contradictions"

here the author says that the "Reason" is only a small faculty out of several other faculties and it cannot be the sole and the ultimate arbiter in deciding the questions related the world, god, existence, essence, knowledge etc.

Love, compassion, bliss, blessings and prayer (in the heart) etc. are all examples of non argumentative existence where the reason is never addressed to.

what do you say?

I think it all depends on the situation. If you have exhausted every other avenue for help with the problems that make you feel that way then go ahead. I know there is lots of help out there but it doesn't always work or help the person.

Suicide being selfish isn't that a bit of an Oxymoron - isn't it selfish to ask someone to do what you want to do, not what they want.

I have suffered from depression for many years now, my wife left me because she couldn't handle my depression, the last of my family disowned me because I suffer from depression and I had to take care of my schizophrenic father because they wouldn't.
I have sought help and been turned down , made a couple of suicide attempts that might have been cries for help but you figure they wouldn't send me home after I swallowed over 150 pills or stuck my feet out of the bushes so I could be found later because I put a plastic bag over my head and waited to suffocate ( I guess i used too big of a bag)so next time i get in a funk i will just do it and not cry for help.

Is it selfish of me for not wanting to take anymore taxpayers dollars because I am on a disability or for the medications supplied, or is that just caring about others.

We are 16 weeks pregnant but i keep having this horrible dream that i'm going to bleed. It's so vivid i actually get up and check myself. Is this normal to be dreaming about bleeding? I'm not worried about having a miscarriage or anything. Infact I've just been really excited to find out what the sex is and all the holiday stuff i need to do. Its pretty much putting me down. What do yall think?

For me that would never be a possibility to have 100% trust.

I know that I will never have that with anyone. I will always doubt and I loathe this about me.

What does it feel like to have 100% trust and how did you achieve this state where you fully KNOW they will not cheat on you or hurt you?

I am scared. In 4 hours I have a very important appointment. I should research the topic, learn about it, be prepared to answer the questions, give examples of my experience and such.

Yet I am frozen. Can't do it. 0 energy. I think I am so stressed that I am in shock and refuse to act/react.

What can I do? Pleaaaaaaseeee??????? I need to do this!

I think about how looks don't really even matter if you're not even enjoying life, and feeling stuck and depressed all the time. Being beautiful is nice, but would it be worth it for suffering, maybe a few glimpses of hope and cheer now and then, but to me, it's just not appealing. I ask this questoin because it's on my mind alot, people say i'm attractive, i view myself as a fairly beautiful person (flawed in places) nonetheless i don't get much out of life. I feel people who are less on the scale of attractiveness, at least with whom i've been around seem to be generally content and getting more out of life. I would much rather be an ugly (by societies standards) and happy person. I just feel inner beauty is so much more important. And even if you're beautiful, eventually looks fade, right? What would you prefer.
