Face it, we have quite a situation on hand...

Too many leaders are making too many close minded decisions that aren't in the best interest of anybody

Too many people blindly put their faith in these leaders and see the world through the media

Too many of the people who take a stance against this are just as close midned and reckless as the leaders that perpetuate the major problems in the world

Will people wake up or will we just continue to annihilate humanity and the world around us?

What is your biggest life experience? What is it that I should stay away of and not do?
What is it that I should do to make my life a better successful life? I’m 23, female and curious.

Uncultured, obese, intellectually devoid, corrupt, warmongering, consumers destroying the earth through pollutants (both actual and cultural) and stealth empiricism.
What can we do to stop them?

i have noticed a woman I am working with keeps mimicking things i do. she is educated and in her late 20's. for examples

1 when I get a clean hair cut, within the next few days i see she has done her hair in ways I never seen her do before.

2 when i start to wear certain type of clothing (ie checkered) - i notice in the new few days she wears checkered clothing which i never seen her wear

3 i once told her unique people makes me tick, since then she will go out of her way to show me she does unique things (uses the microwave to heat her coffee when one hot water tap is broken, when one would usually use the other taps).

These actions led me to think perhaps she would like to talk - but when I do she tells me she she is busy and already has a partner. I'm not sure where the partner thing came from, but fair enough, i decide to leave her alone but she keeps greeting me and mimicking me and following me at work.

i'm a little confused by this persons actions.

the deeper, not the obvious meaning of the above in ONE word, example: love, hate, etc.

Please, answers should be only one word, otherwise it will be disregarded.

If a person were to consume only a small amount of alcohol
would it be more likely that they actually believed they were intoxicated (Placebo Effect) or that they were acting/ pretending they were intoxicated for the benefit of saying so. (Benefit: Peer Acceptance or getting away with more)

Also, If someone was given a piece of gum and was told it had a powerful hallucinogen (Acid/LSD) would that person more likely actually believe that they were experiencing hallucinations or acting like they were having them?

Also:
How much of a role does body weight play when it comes to substance tolerance?
Does experience with consuming the substance have anything to do with it at all?

I would also like scientific back-up/ sources (if you have any), please.

Hello All!

I'm carrying out a research project at the moment as I'm in the middle of doing my thesis for my degree. My study is in relation to an area of online dating that has not been studied before, and also choosing between different profile pictures!

I really only need about 20 more people to fill this in, and will only take about 10 minutes of your time! I really value all responses!!! The deadline is Monday, so I'm getting a bit frantic!

This is the link to my questionnaire!

I would really appreciate your help with this!

There is so much crime in the world now, so much one-on-one violence within humankind. What can we do to begin to have greater respect for ourselves and human lives so that we are not killing one another, so that we are not so violent and so cruel to one another?

Last year in PE I was the best runner. And guess what? this year IM NOT! It sucks! Running was the only thing I was the best at in my life. I could run around the track faster and longer than everyone. the same people who were in my class before have suddenly become great runners and have left me in the dust! It's not fair. Those girls are good at everything. They get straight A's, are part of the so called "popular group" and everyone loves them. NONONO! I'm so frusterated right now! Why the heck are some people blessed with everything?! Someone... please tell me!!!!

I understand that getting involved in other people's karma is a very serious matter, so if other people have problems and we help them, are we getting involved in their karma?
