Is it fair for me to keep asking why women do certain things or am I going in the right direction understanding women?
How many types of women are there?
I don’t know how many types of women there are but I know we are all different…
Each one of us unique in our own way… I think women in general are beautiful creatures but so many women I know are straight up bia~chy at times… Having said that, there are great women out there for every bad one you encounter..
I know for myself I like to know I have been the best I can to those in my life… I love making them happy and full of smiles… Not that every day will have all happiness and smiles, but making life a loving place in our home…
So Lucha needs a list of what his Mind and heart is attracted to, and take it from there…
I think one day Yes, you will understand enough about women to know when one is worth chasing after even if YES she plays a little hard to get…
In your opinion, with the stuff you know about economics, how can the federal reserve board help the economy?
Raise interest rates. Interest rates being lowered have only caused some more problems. They did it because they wanted to avoid crash. Now that a depression/crash won’t occur, they have to deal with the consequence of lowered interest rates. Its inflation…they may need to raise rates to fight it..but they should only raise it a little- raising too much will further our economic staleness (slowness) and make things worse.

I think it is time Americans quit looking to the government for help. If people would QUIT BUYING THINGS especially using CREDIT and BANKS WOULD QUIT SELLING LOANS TO PEOPLE WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THEM BACK and people started living within their means overall and started saving, when hard times hit they would not have it so bad. It’s called tough love when parents do it and the government needs to do the same-especially with banks and mortgage companies who knew better and did it anyhow and quit bailing them out with your great grandchildren’s taxes.
As an Englishman I’d have to say your collective inferiority complex. Many Australians and the Australian media seem obsessed with Australia’s place in the world, and convincing the rest of the world that the place is the best country in the world.
I say it’s a weakness because many of your flag-draped ambassadors haven’t quite mastered the art yet, and tend to ’sell’ Australia by rudely putting down every place they visit while shouting ‘Aussie, Aussie, Aussie…’ Unfortunately, these louts, much like England’s hooligans in the 80s and 90s, are doing your country’s reputation a lot of harm.
Crime, chaos, unruly mobs? Will cities collapse? Will people flee to the suburbs?
High level of civil unrest just like the LA rights and Katrina, so have a gun. Most likely all stores, hospitals, and schools will be shut down. In the end result there will be a lot of chaos.
Please can you give me an explanation in layman terms not some economic theory?
In far too many cases the problem with food (and, correspondingly, its prices) is both human and natural. Politics is part of it. Consider that the Zimbabwean president is trying to keep control by racial and tribal suppression practices that turned “the breadbasket of Africa” into a landlocked island of poverty and starvation. Then too, Haiti had people eating mud to satisfy their hunger while aid shipments rotted on the docks while petty politicians were locked in turf wars. See this article from the Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/con… Japan has treaty obligations to buy rice, but local obligations to sell only Japanese rice and contractual obligations not to sell abroad the rice they had to buy from abroad. Whew! The President Bush wants to change the American farm policies, and of course, being an election year, politicians on Capitol Hill can’t let him have his way too often, so that bottles up some of the flow of food from here to elsewhere in the world. Don’t miss the third from last paragraph, where some 40 countries had closed off exports of food.
Monsanto and other producers of genetically modified seeds are kept from producing food crops, the “frankenfood” scares that are still alive and well, so they made their produce inedible and sold to producers for industrial uses (plastics, ethanol, and animal feed — in those very few places where permitted). Yields are great, but they can’t be used for human consumption in most of the world even if they hadn’t changed their taste.
The old seeds are more susceptible to diseases, the wheat rust that is killing crops in Africa and Asia is because they are using old seeds that don’t have a resistance to that fungus, and are afraid to use fungicides because of some times in the past when they imported seed from the US which had a fungicide coating. When they ate that grain which was intended for planting, tens of thousands got sick and died. Rather than change living practices and learn grain handling procedures, they would rather do with less than take the higher yielding seeds from us.
As for fuel prices, that is much easier because it is harder to produce the oil (let that paradox sink in). Much of the easy oil is owned by Middle Easterners that are culturally opposed to us, so they are charging the fullest prices. There are indications that they might be behind the ballooning (important word here) oil futures speculating that is going on. Because oil, as a commodity, is so well globalized, the oil futures markets essentially set world oil prices. We used to have two prices here in the US, just like a domestic sugar and international sugar price, they were distinctly different, as in domestic oil (and sugar) was much, much cheaper. With globalization the same price is applied to domestic oil as with foreign oil. American environmentalists would prefer that we not drill for oil in our own backyard, but drill elsewhere (where we are not as limited in pristine practices as we are here at home, by the way) where corrupt politicians make long term investments additionally chancy. Then too, we have bottleneck in refining capacity (we are at, and sometimes slightly pushing the limits of this).
And we can’t leave out the role of government in those prices. The oil companies are a cash cow for government. Exxon shelled out almost as much in government taxes and operating fees as they made in profits. Exxon also was a tax collector, gathering a similar number of dollars in gasoline taxes. Contrary to popular opinion, when you tax a company, the consumer ultimately pays the bill.
People gripe that Exxon made so much profit, but they had a 17% return on assets, a 35% return on equity, while Microsoft had higher numbers for the same yardsticks: 24 and 45, respectively. I did a sort of the S&P500 (which is only 499 at the moment, they are in the process of switching horses) and sorted them by return on equity (the money in them that the stockholders themselves own). These are the first fifteen: WIN, AZO, YUM, CL, AVP, DELL, ESRX, BUD, BA, GILD, WAT, AMZN, PBI, MHP, AKS. Not an oil company in the bunch, or should I say batch (BTW, their ROE ranges between 178 to 58, respectively). Look it up for yourself.
There are reasons for high food and fuel prices. Many very legitimate, many quite stupid, though not often in the places popular opinion often expects.

ever expanding world population that require feeding, and the world price of oil makeing transportation very expensive, and no it is not gordon browns fault in case some one tries to blame him you can not blame this government for everything
In the simple Keynesian model that does not have any government or foreign sectors, let’s say that the economy is in equilibrium at an output of $2 billion with an MPC of 0.9. If investment spending decreases by $.05 billion, what is the new equilibrium output level?
a) $2.50 billion
b) $1.90 billion
c) $1.95 billion
d) $1.50 billion
According to the concept of mutiplier i.e. dY/dI = 1/1-MPC we get the value of multiplier “10″. Now it is very simple:
dY/dI = 10
dy = 10*dI
dY = 10*-.05
dy = -0.5
New equlibrium = Y + dY
= 2 - 0.5
New equlibrium = $1.50 billion
Penny is an artist, and John is a carpenter. Penny agrees to paint a portrait of John’s family in exchange for a handmade table created by John. How did Penny and John pay for the goods in their transaction?
I think it has to do with representative money or commodity money, or barter….I’m not sure.
It is bilateral barter trade since both parties experience pareto improvement by trading.
I’m sorry for what you’ve had to go through, but, no, not all guys are jerks
Perhaps you need to meet some males worthy of your attention. We’re not all that way.
I agree that not ALL men are jerks, but it seems like all the men you have met are. You need a change of scenery girl. Get out of that hell you call “home” and you may start to meet some decent people (even guys)
You have a very common life.Know that your story isnt very different than than the next woman.What i say is if you always look where you always look you will always get what you get.Try newer surroundings.And good luck!
You tell me what makes all men in your life like this. if you can’t change them for better don’t let them change you. have a faith and try to make your life better always.
believe it or not there are some fantastic men out there, you just have to know where to look. nobody can make excuses for what has happened to you, and none of it is your fault. your brother is probably harbouring some issues though, regarding the father and step father situation, as you probably know, your father and step father would have been the role models for your brothers behaviour. this doesnt make it right though. maybe you should talk to him, him may not even know he is the way he is. you also need to talk to someone (ie a psychotherapist) about what has happened to you, if you havent already, they will help you deal with what happened as well as give you some more self confidence. as for the boys at your school, all boys are like that, and maybe making friends with some girls wouldnt be a bad idea, but be choosy, as you will probably confide in them your deepest darkest secrets. as for the guy who told you to go away, it could be that he had more on his mind thatn you know about, and he is finding it hard to deal with his problems as well as yours (he could have been a bit nicer though). you never know, he might have been the nice guy you are looking for and may care about you a hell of a lot, which then it would hurt him to see you in so much pain.
sorry about the long winded reply, but i hope i helped.
hang in there.youve just had one hell of a life so far.were not all assholes.i wish the best for you because more than likely your going to or probably already do have major trust issues when it is going to involve us.i wish i could of been the most recent friend of yours because what i need more than anything right now is a female friend.not trying to get a laugh from the guys.lifes a strange place.it’ll be alright.it’ll all work out.
Really, not all of them are jerks, but the majority are. Don’t worry you are 17 you will meet a lot of good guys. May be you need to try some time to avoid friendship with men. See what will happen, may be you need to take your time.
After reading your post…
I’m sorry that you had to go through all that…
Try joining a “support”-group, as in just a group of people coming together having some fun.
I’m a Christian youth leader, and we have a youth programme.
I’m sure you could probably find something somewhere that would fit you.
By the way. I believe everything happens for a reason. Keep your chin up. Stay positive.
If you get through this, you will be an ambassador for women who have the same problems. And perhaps you can even help them. Let that motivate you.
But first. Help yourself. You are strong. You CAN get through this.
U have gone through some big difficulties! All I can say is ur plain unlucky regards to males. Hope you find a nice person soon.

Usually if I dream that I am running it is because I have a problem that is bothering me. I’d say things have settled down for you and going smoothly. I hope I am right for you.
I really don’t know. But I don’t like pit-bull…..
It may been you’ve decided to face whatever problems you have and deal with them, rather than run away from them. I think this is a very positive dream for you.
Stop handling dogs to avoid dreams about being bitten!
You are coming to grips with a situation in your life. You have avoided for too long. You have run away from the situation, not wishing to face it, for fear of failure/defeat. You have come to a place in your life where you have the confidence and intelligence to solve the problem.
What you are talking about is called lucid dreaming. I think, with practice, it is possible. Ever seen the movie Waking Life? After watching that, I was obsessed with lucid dreaming for a while. It’s difficult though, and I’m not sure it makes for the most restful sleep. But, in your case, I guess it’s better than nightmares.
