Others have to cope with one calamity after another. I for one am one of these. Not inconsequential but big problems... a son who has a major mental illness diagnosed in 1992, a partner who has type 1 diabetes, custody of 3 grandchildren who were abandoned by their "mother" nine years ago, serious head trauma to 2 of my sons(June 2006 & Dec. 06) who were attacked on two seperate occasions by unknown assailents through no fault of their own, all this leaving me to look after 8 people all of the time so am unable to "work" and as "retirement" approaches I will have no pension and what little savings I had is gone...circumstances has precluded me from "working" since 1992, and the list goes on and on.
I sometimes think that I must have been very "bad" in a "past life" because I certainly haven't had time to be in this one. What do you think?

I am a junior in college, so i have about one year left, give or take a semester. The school i am at right now is so boring that i am being driven crazy, so i want to get out. One of my options is to move back home and finish up my degree online. However, my concern is that i would spend a lot of time without meeting any new people(that is one of the biggest problems that i am currently having at this crappy university). I turn 21 over the summer and if i get a job and go to bars and clubs, while living at home, would i be able to make new friends?

If the American leaders continue to lead with their own financial interest in mind, then will the average American take steps to revolt against the government? Are today's Americans capable of revolting against bad government or are they too comfortable or? How uncomfortable would the average American need to be for them to actively try to change or correct the current system?

There's a new movie "300" about the Spartans' battle with the Persians at Thermopolae. But even a casual glance at the history of the Spartans should have high schools and colleges dumping Spartans as a mascot. The Nazis were efficient, organized and passionately devoted to nationalism. All that sounds great, if you don't see the wole picture. But nobody's choosing the Fighting Nazis for a school's nickname. Aside from military training and heroism, just about everything about the Spartans is a legacy of inhumanity.

In many many years technology advances to a point where we can run “ancestor simulations”. These are computer programs that mimic Earth and populate it with artificial minds. They are detailed enough for the minds to be conscious and have experiences like ours. Eventually these simulations can be run on any desktop pc and so there are billions of them all over the world.
Thus, if we do invent this technology, the balance of probability suggests we are living in a simulation.

Reports are coming out of India that there are street protests against Big Brother. The Indian Government has complained. The prime minister and the Chancellor have had to answer questions about Big brother. Questions have been asked in parliament, and OFCOM has been inundated with complaints all about a TV programme. What is going on? Has society started valuing stupidity, the vacuous, and the tedious above stuff that actually matters? Please if any one wants to discuss BB go somewhere else I have brain and I like to exercise it. Is this the day the stupid finally took over the world?
