Without the usual rantings about politicians, as they are all the same snidey little snot-weasels regardless (except Boris Johnson, whom I find amusing to observe), what HAS gone wrong with society here now?

Or is it that it's as bad as it's always been, but we notice it more because of the media hype surrounding hoodies and asbos and various vicious assaults?

Your (sensible & mature) thoughts please. And no, this isn't an invitation to rant on about immigrants, religous faiths or anything like that.

So I'm asking for tips - like, what do you do when - no matter what you do, even if you do your favourite things, things that normally calm you down or make you feel good - what would you do if even these don't help?

A cup of tea; 10 minutes of exercise; a walk in the garden; dinner at the coffee shop; 10 minutes of reading; a prayer; a few minutes of music...I've tried all of these, in one night, yet I'm still highly strung.

Perhaps the only thing that makes me happy is the hour of late night cartoons on TV.

Anyway, I've had a bad year - and maybe it's just pouring now (when it rains, it pours).

Thanks for reading. And f.y.i., I'd appreciate it if your tips/ ideas are inexpensive/ free ones.

Global Warming is due to the rise in volcanic activity.
Pollution is just complicating it.
Mother Nature is getting ready to some major
housecleaning of Her own. And we're going to be in the
way!

Now that we have diversity inclusion, shouldn't that include fat people? Does anyone realize that there are various reasons why people are overweight and they don't all include laziness.
There is metabolic disorder, medicine that causes weight gain, extra weight after having a baby, thyroid problems, eating disorders which are emotional at the root and probably exacerbated by people who demonstrate hatred for people who aren't so called perfect 10's. There is a major reason why a lot of women are fat - sexual molestation. Layers of fat are protection and a guarantee that we will not be attractive to our molester(s). A lot of us feel that everyone is our molester because of the trust issue.
It's really too bad. I would never form a group that is totally devoid of one particular 'type' of person, such as fat, skinny, bald, long hair, short hair, bad dresser, ugly or whatever. People are emotional beings and the constant ignorance in the face make it real hard to give a damn.

How do you protect urself from harmful people?
Where can I find a mobile with a self locating button thingy?
Should I buy one of those things that when u press they start shrieking real loudly?
Are they proven to help?

Like, they pause and make it sound and look emotional like it's in a kodak moment or scene in a movie. It's kind of funny and weird. Just curious about the question and the answers.

It seems unlikely that if an unfamous person built a theme park in their back yard and slept with teenage boys in their beds that we would even be questioning the motives.... your thoughts?

I'm supposed to be seeing my dad this Tuesday, and I get paid this Monday ... leaving me one day to make sure my Christmas shopping is pretty much done (I'm working the rest of the time).

The more I think about it, the easier it seems, but I started off thinking that I'd be doing the "impossible". So it got me thinking - what would the Yahoo! Answers community (that's you guys!) think would be impossible to do, but you have actually gone and done?

Plus, if they give you a blank look thinking you are a weirdo or something, how would that make you feel?
