Is it because people don't want to loose credibility for being right sometimes?

*Please* Don't judge me, and don't pretend you can surmise who I am from questions...I might be a psychology student gathering a broad range of opinons and views...-OR- I might need to know on a deeper level how to deal with an important person/relationship.

I have a good matie who has just got his Hons degree after struggling against, poor health, family issues, fianancial dispair and serious loss of confidence. Only to be bombarded by jelous so called "mates" who graduated a few years earlier with lower classed degrees with one referring to his ascention to 1st class saying "I wouldnt employ anyone with a 1st class since it is a sign of being a total geek". Now the tables have turned and of us group of 4 the other two really bombard him to promote their own egos. What should he do? I say give the others the cycle with no seat to swivel on the rusty pole. What do you think?

I am not commenting or blaming or imputing any group of people or any body but asking to know views of people of INDIA.
Considering INDIA ; IS IT true that many times many people just see & ignore violation of laws by others until it affects them directly & personally????
Considering INDIA ; IS IT true that even many times many of them also ignore ill behaviour & wrong done with them; they don't take pains & don't go so long to get the justice ; they just try to forget or avoid the wrongs????
IF yes what are the reasons of such ignorant & wrongful compromising behaviour???
What do you all think about it??
Want to know views of people of INDIA about it.

that when you use a double negative they cancel each other out therefore making it a postive.
ex.. I didn't do nothing.. (really means "i did something")
this slang is one of the most irritating things.
what do you think

how many smartbutt comments do you think this will get with people using a double negative acting like they are witty and smart?

Or are cultural values a sub-group of social values? Are values social by nature?

I am 18 years old, with a medical complication with my voice/throat? I can speak like a normal 18 year old, but my voice sounds scratchy at times. When my voice started to change at the age of 13, my vocal cords started not to function proberlly. That cause my voice to sound scratchy. When this all started, I had more problems with my voice. My voice has improved a little since then. I am seeing a head and neck doctor about this.

Since I had this medical complication with my voice, it seems that young children love to embarrass me, over one little issue. I have been pointed at and yelled at by young children, infront of their parents. Sometimes their parents don't even do anything, when the hear and see their child descriminating me. Since I have one medical complication with my voice, doesn't mean a person can make a scene out of me.

Why are children so addicted to the question, "Why does he talk funny?" What makes children ask nasty questions like this?

Well, not everyone--but many people think to one extreme, and others to the opposite extreme--there is really middle-ground (grey areas).

ok....you are going to be executed. However, there is one way around it. You are given a deck of playing cards in numerical and suited order. You are told that you can avoid execution if you can shuffle the cards until they return to their original order (numerical and suited) ..... you have all the time you want, but you are only given water during this period....no food. If you can shuffle the cards back into order before you die....you will be spared.....Would you go for it???

Is there a race or country, or category that would be proud of what we collectively render as a species?

Or do we all just expect to be saved or protected or exempt or just free and clear of all responsibility, for what we render here on earth?
