Is The Economist magazine worth the subscription price?

I always pick it up when I'm in the airport traveling for work, and sometimes I find some decent articles.

overall, is it a good value? It's also hard for me to tell if the magazine is more liberal than conservative.

do you think it leans?

Have we reached new levels of stupidity and insensitivity? i think so..Ok yes it is newsworthy but how many?

people who have depression have woken up today to the news that their medication 'does not work'? Mental Health has a bad enough stigma attached to it without giving the cynics fresh ammunition for saying there is nothing wrong with them and they need to pull themselves together.

is outrageous. another example of this country's increasing disdain for its lowley citizens. i think a modicum of decorum should have been used when handling this piece of news, dont you?

What is the right dog breed for our family?

My husband and I have been looking for the right kind of dog for our family. We plan on having kids in a few years and having a breed that is well known for being “kid friendly.” I do not want a smaller dog, preferably a breed or mix of breeds 40lbs plus. Trainability is important, and I can be patient, but I am dominant when I have to be. I don't want a hyperactive breed, I have energy but no jobs to keep such busy minds occupied. I also prefer softer coats, and the shorter the hair the better as we live in a warm climate.

important is health problems. I can't have my heart broke by a dog breed known to have many health problems, as I will more than likely adopt from a shelter or rescue and not have much knowledge on the parents/stock. If anyone has suggestions to what kind of breeds I should be looking for, I would appreciate your comments.

Opinions on Custody/Divorce situation?

Currently I'm going through a divorce. It's been a long drag out process due to custody hearings. Oct, 07 joint custody was ordered however my soon to be ex husband has not committed to the order since day 1 of all this. He moved over 100 miles away and still insists on keeping the joint court order. We share every other week. Well, since he lives so far, he sees our son only on the weekend he has him and the rest of the week M-Th our son is with his mother (the paternal grandmother). She has taken him to doctor appointments without my consent, has him on her and her husbands health insurance stating he is their son. In short she's doing the care taking not him. I've had to jump through hoops getting a paper trail to prove my son's father doesn't live near us because I feel our son saying so might not be enough. He has also missed mediation intentionally, now we have court coming next Tuesday. I want what's best for our son and feel if his dad can't commit to the joint custody our That our son should be with me. That's also what the judge said at our last hearing.

if one parent was not going to be available the child (he is 9) should be with the other parent.

includes even if one of us had to go out of town.

system so far is a joke, but I just wanted other peoples insight on this.

you been in a similar situation? **My ex has no job, but lies about it, he and his family have lied about his residence too just so his mom can continue keeping our son with her and also so he can stay in the school in their area. It's so frustrating and it's been very costly.. Before anyone gets the wrong idea, no I am not trying to keep our son from his dad. He needs him, but I think he's being unfair to our son to leave him with his mom.

that, he should just get him every other weekend which is practical for him since he's over 100 miiles away.

no, the grandparents aren't any lesser of the two evils.

have him on their health insurance stating he is THEIR SON, and even after I had it cancelled for fraud they re-instated it.

grandmother gives my son medication for asthma that he does not have. I have already taken him for a second opinion to prove that.

is a hypochondriac.

herself has “cancer, lupus, exzema, asthma, fibromyalgia”. And the grandfather poor idiot, buys all the bs.

aren't any better.

Should i be her friend or not?

today my so called best friend yelled out something very personal about me (the illness i suffer from) in class. everyone kept staring at me and i almost started crying.

i be her friend or ditch it? I feel humiliated! also she has been my friend since we were 2, but lately i have been getting sick of her ragging on me all the time (in other words she hasnt been treating me like a friend).

Is there a BETTER place to post the question?

I posted a question about surgery in the health section–I posted it twice and I have one answer.

I get a violation for multiple postings–WHERE SHOULD I PUT IT TO GET SOME ANSWERS? I really need some advice on this! Thanks

What do i have?

Whatever it is, ive had it for about 4 days now.

first day was the worst, I couldent eat literitly 1 bites of anything or drink anything without throwing it up about 10minutes later.

that day i stopped throwing up, but im very weak, i have VERY bad diarria, i have zero appatite (i kinda have to force myself to eat and when i do i get really nausious) Im 20, male, in good health imo, no drug/alcohol/or tabacco use. 6'2″ 140 pounds.

could this be? I cant see a doctor for about another week due to a mix up at my insurance company.

for the poor spelling.

Marijuana smokers are not criminals. They are victims of an ignorant society.?

Why are we not yet in a position where our government realizes that we have a naturally growing, naturally developed plant upon our earth that is able to help endless amounts of people with endless amounts of different health issues, WITHOUT HURTING ANYONE?! If the government legalized marijuana would it not also decrease the problems society has with drug dealers and crime levels? I have yet to meet a marijuana smoker who is aggressive or dangerous, or someone I would consider a 'criminal', and yet these people are being forced to break the law, associate with drug dealers and be brandished as 'criminals' when realistically most people feel more unsafe and more threatened around someone who's had a few pints.

is the non-smoking society that we live in going to start understanding, and acknowledging that marijuana smokers are not a threat to society, and that they are individuals who just make a choice.Let them grow their own plants in their own homes keep it off the streets! The anti-marijuana crew are easily discovered due to their ignorant answers that fail to address the specific points that I have made.

me elaborate for those of you who obviously have no one close to you who can share their experiences. go and watch Penn Teller's Bullshit on Pot for some good first hand examples of people who have marijuana in their lives in. As for smokers falling asleep behind the wheel, let's face it, what smoker actually has the motivation to get in a car when they are high and drive somewhere?! An intelligent person who knew the effects of marijuana wouldn't suggest this as a high potential risk, certainly not on a par with drink driving which is a massive killer! And I don't believe I discussed the use of marijuana around children this was not the point to the question. I am not condoning that.

here's a fact, feel free to try and prove me wrong (I'd be interested in your evidence). NOT ONE person has EVER died as a result of marijuana use.

for those who just argue 'It's illegal'. I feel sorry for you not being in a position to have the mental independence to question you government's policies and laws. It's people like you, who accept everything the powers that be tell you, that allow our countries to find themselves in a position of suppression and dictatorship. We are the people we should have the choice. Believe everything you are told, and your mind is going to be very very small.
