I woke up tasting a sickening hangover of the stubborn man across the street that won't quit the other day. It used to be roses and lilacs. Other people's feelings and thoughts and answers to their questions come out of my mouth without my having any distance on this apparent blending as it is happening. Sometimes with really angry people there is a 5 minute lag time. If they are unpredictable and I can't scream it out it takes longer to pass through. I did not know the next door neighbor had a kidney transplant for a long time--they are jealous even about their race. I was in pain for weeks before that. I had to stop caretaking the elderly as I was having all the symptoms of their stuff. I finally tested this over and over for a decade. As a youth I was told I was easily influenced. No wonder. I was encouraged to look at personal flaws and let them go for 30 years. I know what is mine and who I am. I was a good kid, not all that brilliant, but very kind and softhearted, sharing whatever I had. Its like being a sewage treatment plant. Accepting it now as a secret service does not make it any less uncomfortable but it passes through faster rather than putting me to bed. My concern about such claims is fraud or wannabe healers, so I am silent, and watch and listen.

Hard-Rock and Classic Music Could Lead to Road Accidents, New Survey Says

Why don't they investigate on other more important factors leading to car accidents, such as talking on mobile phones during driving for example? yeah, music may have a certain part here too( classic music makes you sleepy, hard rock on the contrary excites you too much), but, in my opinion, these are just minor damaging factors since they don't have such a big influence on human consciousness, on the contrary, they have more impact on subconsciousness.

The research above still seems incomplete to me. It doesn't clearly show whether soft/monotonous music would be more likely to make a driver drowsy or not, for instance. Too often I see radio stations broadcast at night soft music - one might hypohthesize that such music would tend to make a driver listening to it more drowsy, less alert, and hence, more likely to be involved in a car accident.

One method to complete this research might be to document what was playing in cars at the time of accidents. Was the radio on? what was the volume? was it playing in-car content (CD/DVD/etc.) or broadcast? if broadcast, was it playing a radio channel, if so, what was that channel playing, at the time of the accident and in the few minutes prior? if in-car audio, what was it playing?

If sufficient data is collected it might be possible to statistically correlate and help determine not only whether certain types of music or volume have impact on the abilities of driver's to drive better - but it will be empirical evidence of direct cause for accidents.

The power of such findings could be a clearly preventative form of accidents. If we know what sorts of music (or audio sources) are less likely to produce accidents, people would be able to "tune into them" when driving. Likewise, radio stations listened to often by drivers might focus on airing different content dependent on the time of day in order to reduce their impact on car accidents (if such an impact exists).

No wonder the such robot was created in colaboration with German carmakers, since audi and vw create some of the best cars in the world. This is a great invention, but I think it might scape some people who think that robots could soon take ove the world and make people slaves.

I've heard this many times before. It's hardly something that's clear cut. I have, however, found that those that I'm attracted to tend to look like my mother. It's not something I notice right away either, but after a while I realize it. Although, I knew one girl who looked nice with her hair up, but when she put it down she looked just like my mother and it completely killed any physical attraction I had towards her. Maybe looking too similar is just as bad, if such a thing exists in the first place.
