I'm asking just out of curiousity....not judging...just want to know if others notice it too.

I haven't been to every state in the U.S. ....only up and down the East Coast, TN, NV, TX, AZ, HI, MI, OH, and WV.

I live in Northern Maryland, but have lived in HI, NC, and also just outside of DC. Sometimes people are very rude here. I notice it other areas too in the North East, namely NY, NJ, CT, and MA. DC seems bad too, and VA is getting there.

From my own experience..I think TN has the most polite, laid back, friendly people. And in the other states, at least people had common courtesy and seemed much more friendly.

I know I am making large generalizations, and I'd like to think the people here at the individual level really are good people.

Personally, I think it's related to the congestion....but do others in the area notice the same thing? What do you think causes it? Do think things will ever change, or that this behavior towards others will keep spreading?

Ok this is kind of hard to explain but let me try. Well if you truly belive in Jesus Christ and GOD and according to the bible if you have jesus and god in your heart you are saved. As well as theirs a heaven and hell. Heaven for the good people that belive and love god and hell for the non belivers and bad people.

My question is... well if your a christian and catholic or any kind of religion that belives in Jesus and God as his father, theres a heaven and hell right. Well heres my question, Where do buhdas, Hindus, Muslims, Athiests, and other religions that do not belong to GOD and Jesus Christ go after they die i mean well do they belive in such thing as hell or heaven?

Hard question to explain... sorry

Or do people just not understand the pressures of keeping together a melting pot that uses more of the world's resources than the whole world put together?

My husband fancies himself a real joker, but he teases people about stuff that no one would ever mention, just out of politeness. Even though I do think it is extremely funny, not everyone shares our funny bone. How can I get him to see that sometimes it hurts peoples feelings, even though I am crying from laughing so hard, and really want to scream" Lighten up for god's sake!" We both realy seem inappropriate, and I can keep my composure untill he starts. I am okay on my own, but he just blurts, what everyone is thinking anyway. Usually in a funny way, but some people don't think we are amusing. Help. I just can't controll it around him.

Can it not be said that the aim of all religion is to benefit life, respect, love, co-existence, dignity and the raising up of all living things to betterment. In this way which could be seen as the "wiser"religion? in your view.
In my opinion it must fall to Taoism. The 3 "Religions of The Book" the monotheist religions of the Western World preach over devotion and enslavement to outer-world elements like God or heaven. The Hindu & Buddhist religions teach good not just in itself but for karmic reasons-we should do good coz its good, not for a better life ahead. The Tao teaches us a "Real World Religion" seeking harmony, balance, co-existence and peace in the here and now. Is this not what is more needed if not in the world then in the weary hearts of each person's world. If there is a GOd would he not prefer this way for his/her people. And if not then is it not embracing "The Greater Good" anyway in our individual Taoistic Ways.
Please let me know your opinion, Thanks,

This other tenant hogged the washers so I waited an hour while his laundry just sat in the washer and they were done washing. So I waited a little while when they then set in the dryer after they were dry. I finally took his laundry out and piled them on the folding table so I could dry mine. He walks in and gets pretty mad. What do you people think about this?

Don't get me wrong this doesn't happen to me all the time.
I constantly find myself visiting others cause i'm lonely, or talking to them and giving my experience, loving someone so that I can be loved. I feel that I use people sometimes and I don't like that feeling. It makes me feel like a horrible person. Can anyone understand this? Any advice on how I can change these thoughts in my life?

So, I got really tired of basically being shut up in the house with the patient in question (family member) 24/7, and so I hired a day nurse to spell me three times a week so that I could go to the dentist, to the grocery store, to gas up the car, etc.

Naturally, I feel guilty about this, and yet I'm STILL squirming with ennui.

Any hints or tips to cope with this? It's been two years already; could go on for years to come.
