Citizens of countries other then the United States, what do you think of United States citizens in general? As much as I am against generalizing and buying into stereotypes, I must admit I do have to work extra hard to keep myself in check when it comes to my thoughts about Americans. I know it is not right or fair, but certain things do spring automatically to mind when I think of Americans - fundamental Christians, intolerant, egotistical, ignorant of other cultures and places outside of the US......

Answer to:
How can I convince a sane person, that they're sane? My friend pretends to be crazy, but her conscious effort shows sanity, though. I think it depends on what she is doing to try to appear crazy. I think some irritating behaviours are due to people being socially clueless and/or self-absorbed, while other times the behaviour is indicative of an underlying issue. Some people criticize people who cut themselves, saying they have no genuine interest in harming or killing themselves and that they are able to stop but continue...

Why are there so many silly movies/shows on tv? Is this a media's tactic to keep us blind from real truth? I think this is true to a degree. Media, generally controlled by the upper echelon of society, is a powerful tool in influencing and shaping public beliefs and opinions. Fox news is a perfect example of ludicrous and fantastical reporting that serves an agenda (conservative agenda in this case) while keeping people ignorant to the facts. I think the other reason for the poor quality of movies...

Answer to:
Is Atheism a weak minded response to the overwhelming complexities of GOD as it attributes the universe to happenchance? In my experience, most atheists have strong and inquiring minds. We value knowledge and seek to educate and inform ourselves using a diversity of sources. We like to think for ourselves and, though we maintain open minds, we will challenge and test what we are told rather than just blindly accept it. I have yet to meet an atheist who attributes our world and our universe to happenchance. As...

Can antidepressants inhibit a persons creative abilities? They can, but this does not always happen.

Why is homosexuality being embraced by society to the point where it's politically incorrect to say that it's wrong? Because it is not wrong. To say it is would be more offensive than politically incorrect. It is not so much being embraced by society than society is finally starting to shed some of its prejudiced and misguided beliefs. Judgment and condemnation of others is wrong (surely the bible speaks to this), homosexuality is not.

Regardless of who is right or wrong, when someone has a problem with something their partner did, nothing will be resolved without talking. His behaviour, particularly in reaction to something so minor, is childish. You are right not to participate in the game playing.

Aside from not being able to guarantee pictures or physical descriptions are truthful, I don't see it being any different than meeting someone in bar, coffe shop, grocery store, etc... You still are taking a...

My shoulder's are not semetrical, my left shoulder is higher than my right and my right side is dominant. I dont know if this is an issue with my muscles or bones, but it effects how I use a barbell. Any suggestions on how I can get them inline? I used to have this problem too. For me it was caused by bad posture and and from years of waitressing (carrying trays and plates in my dominant hand). I went to the chiropractor for help. The chiropractor was also able to recommend exercises to strengthen my back and straighten my posture.

Why is it that the majority of girls I meet in college are either nursing or psychology majors? I think because career choice is still heavily infuenced by gender stereotypes. Nurturing professions such as counselling, teaching, heath care, etc... are still more often occupied by women.

Answer to:
Why do people suddenly become nicer in college? You always hear of high school students being cruel and disruptive... Cliqués are not so prevalent in college. Less importance is placed on fitting in and conformity. People feel more free to show their true selves and are less afraid of what may be thought of them for associating with the "wrong" type of person.

What do you think is more serious: sex at a young age or getting drunk at a young age? That is hard to answer because both can have serious lasting consequences. Drinking at a young age can also result in sex. I think it would depend on how responsibly the young person engaging in the activity is. If they are taking all precautions to protect against pregnency and STD'd I would say drinking is more serious, particularly if drunk driving is involved. However, if drinking...

Once a picture is put online, you lose all control over who sees it and what it is used for. If he is truly looking for a serious relationship with you, he should be on his best behaviour in these early stages and should be showing you nothing but respect.

Your health is a priority and it is better to err on the side of caution. Get checked out by your doctor. Best of luck.

How can one handle a bipolar lover? How do you relate to someone who is bipolar and are they normally jekyll and hyde or what? do they turn on you and get worse the older they get? this one has tried 40 medications and they can't help. (2009-11-10) It can be very hard when the one you love suffers from a mental illness, especially when medication has not brought them stability. Not only is it painful to watch your partner suffer, you are often on the receiving end of erratic, out of character, and somnetimes scary behaviour. Even when you know it the illness that has control, it can be hard to stay strong and not let behaviour that...

If she was, and there was no initial agreement that she would quit that line of work, I think its problematic you later asked her to quit.

The feeling of losing control and power because of a rape is not lessened when the attacker was someone familar to the victim.

A co-worker who knew the dog was family to me and just how devastated I was, called all other co-workers and left "oh my god, did you hear what happened to Susan's dog" messages. She showed no...

My boyfriends parents think that I dont talk to them and that I avoid them I dont try to im just a quiet and shy person i talk to them if they ask something Im not good at making conversation either, I dont want to come off snobby though what should I do? I am introverted as well and have also experienced my shyness and quietness being mistaken as snobbery. I dread the "why are you so quiet" question - it makes me clam up more. I have worked on overcoming my shyness and am a bit more outgoing - it can be done but takes work. As difficult as it may be, it would be good to explain the reasons for your quiet nature to the parents....

Educate yourself, be safe, and go to the doctor. Sex doesn't require a responsible participant, but this is ideal. Beyond telling you sex can lead to pregnancy, no one online can answer this question. Thanks for the venting opportunity!

Even Though U.S. itself was the only country ever to be using an atomic bomb on another country, even though Japan had sent people to our allies to surrender.... I don't think any one country, including the US, should have absolute power to dictate laws and rules around nuclear weapons or anything else. There is no logic for this type of ethnocentric total control and the effects it would have on the world is a frightening thought. An organization such as the United Nations better protects the interests of all.

My friend who is a grad student spent 2,500 on a purse. What do you think about that? I have a hard time spending $50 on a purse, and personally think that is crazy. Still, if it was her money, she has the right to spend it however she likes. If she hadn't borrowed the money for other purposes and the purchase wasn't made despite owing others money, she doesn't have to justify it. Wish I had that kind of cash when I was a student!

I am by no means an expert, but think too much contact in a relationship can lead to boredom and is often a sign of codependence. A life and friends apart from the relationship is healthy.

When we plan to take the relationship up a notch he backs off & then comes back stronger than ever to proceed. Its happened again. we made plans to take the relationship up a notch & now I haven't heard from him in a week. should I contact him or wait? There is no harm in contacting him. Sounds as though you two have some things to talk about though, before moving ahead in the relationship. He is obviously having reservations and if he does his disappearing act after things in the relationship progress, you could easily be hurt. Good luck!

What's the best possible actions aside from words to apologize? And how can you win someone's broken trust & confidence? There is really no quick fix for that one. Winning back a person's trust and confidence takes showing them you are worthy of it through your actions. Depending on the person and what happened to break that trust, this can take some time. If you try to push it, they may be less likely to believe your sincerity.

Dishing out violence on the vulnerable and defenceless is the lowest of low.

Ideal weight varies depending on body type as well (small, medium, big framed). I don't think you have anything to worry about. There is too much focus and pressure on women to be thin, often to the point it becomes unhealthy. Be healthy, be happy!

A large percentage of girls who grow up in an abusive household enter into abusive relationships themselves. Boys often adopt...
