Who Is the Most Selfish Fictional Character Ever?

For movies I can't think of any one to top

He killed some of his fellow warriors and a room full of children because he thought it would save his wife.After many more years of purely villainous activity he finally draws a line of morality when watching his own son being slain. Saving his son at the very last minute somehow proves that there is still "good inside him" and he gets to ride off into the sunset as a hero because his 1 minute of saving his son's life somehow offsets an entire adulthood of dastardly deeds. Whatever.

As a female with autism, what age were you diagnosed?

I wasnt diagnosed, and Im not going to be. When I entered the waiting list for the diagnosis as an adult, I started attending the events for similar people and found some of the psychologists to be quite condescending, so I decided that maybe I didnt fully understand the social consequences of getting a label sticked onto me, and I dropped out.Later, I discovered that my country prohibits people with any level Autism spectrum disorder from driving and from owning guns, with no appeal and no testing of cognitive abilities. So now Im very happy about my earlier choice.I choose not to drive because if I had a drivers licese, my employer would be able to order me to drive at any time, including times when I would be in a state of sensory/emotional overwhelm, and that could be dangerous. But its my choice, and I prefer to be able to make it freely for everyones benefit.

What makes your husband a good husband?

Someone who is kind, humble, patient and loyal. Someone who is willing to work you may decide together that he will be a stay at home dad, but he doesnt just quit work and stay home doing nothing without your agreement. Someone who is willing to share his paycheck and contribute to the work that keeps the household running. He may shop, cook, do laundry or all of the above or none of the above but whatever the division of labor, you have negotiated it together and agreed upon it.Someone who doesnt have a hot temper or a short fuse.Someone who does not have to be right all of the time, because believe me it sucks being wrong all of the time.

Someone who has your back, with whom you can talk about anything and who values you above all others

What was the 'Lehman Brothers collapse'?

The Beginning of the End: Lehman Brothers (2008)1. Lehman Brothers became heavily involved in mortgage market especially after acquiring many subprime mortgage seller to take advantage of housing bubble.2. Subprime mortgage is loan given to someone who has poor credit score. In years preceding the 2008 crash, these loans in US were given out with low rates for first couple of years of each mortgage.3. Cracks in U.S. housing market were becoming apparent. Defaults on subprime mortgages began to rise to a seven-year high.4. Now, there were more houses to sell since defaults started. The prices came down. And this impacted all entities involved be it subprime lenders, investment banks & the investors who invested in it.5. Lehman brothers borrowed too much to fund its mortgage investment which no investor wanted to buy now.6. In 2008, it had $639 billion in assets, enough to cover $613 billion in debt. However, assets were difficult to sell.

7. After no sign of bail out & no deal with Bank of America & Barclays, on September 15th 2008, the 4th largest investment bank Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy.Hope this helps

What do you think of Congress and other opposition parties bringing an impeachment motion against CJI Dipak Misra?

First , I am not a Legal Expert and what is expressed is the view of a member of the SocietyThere are some recognised issues which trigger such a grave action.There does not seem to be any grounds for such a grave actionAlready the Govt of the day is showing utter immaturity in handling the Judiciary system ( delay in appointing some recommended by collegium, by passing supreme court and asking Karnataka HC chief to enquire on collegium decision)People of the Country still have lot of respect for at least higher JudiciaryOpposition should show maturity and not indulge in PolitickingEven the usual TRP hungry media has already started sensationalising the issueIf the immediate provocation is certain issues raised by senior Judges , all well meaning people including the Opposition parties to appeal to the judges to sort out issues among themselves and ensure that Public faith in the Judicial system is preservedThe Opposition and well meaning people can suggest ways to avoid similar situations , address it to Supreme Court and Govt and share it with general PublicLet us preserve the sanctity of the great Institution

What's the best two songs on the first Bowie album you bought?

I was about 14 in 1974 when I bought my first David Bowie album. Id heard many things from him before this, but hadnt gotten to buy anything by him yet. I had a limited budget, after all, that only allowed me an album once a month or so. My cash came from a paper route and I stashed most of it in the bank weekly (my Mom insisted) so I could pay for more important things as they may arise.So my first purchase of his was Diamond Dogs. It was a brilliant effort, but Ive since chosen others of that era that I liked better after purchasing them and wearing them all out. The opening with Future Legend into the title track was affirmation I made a great purchase.David ended up one of my favorite artists ever and I ultimately bought all of his early work, and, like any fan of his, eagerly awaited the next one.This two are my picks from Diamond Dogs (1974):Sweet ThingRebel RebelI miss David.

Saudi Arabias crown prince warned in an interview broadcast on Sunday that oil prices could spike to unimaginably high numbers if the world doesnt come together to deter Iran, but said he preferred a political solution to a military one.If the world does not take strong and firm action to deter Iran, we will see further escalations that will threaten world interests, Prince Mohammed, known as MbS, said through a translator.Oil supplies will be disrupted and oil prices will jump to unimaginably high numbers that we havent seen in our lifetimes, he added.

Have you attended a marriage retreat with your spouse? Did you feel it was helpful to your marriage?

My husband and I had the privilege of attending 5 marriage retreats through his work, the first few years we were married. Those first years were the most difficult in our marriage so it was very timely we had those opportunities.Each retreat challenged us, provided clarity and equipped us with better ways of communicating as we navigated our roles as husband and wife.

I feel that much of the foundation laid in our early years of marriage is credited to the retreats we attended. Many issues which have sprung up over the years with in laws, career strain, and health have not turned into the mountain of conflict it could have. I think the early habits we formed through the counsel we received early on is to credit for averting crisis up until now.

We love marriage retreats because you can benefit in many of the same ways you would from marriage counseling, without the higher cost (usually) and less intrusive so-to-speak

What makes us think and act optimistically?

I think its realistic, but yes, many naive folks might call is pessimistic:Life is Tragedy plus Difficulty plus occasional Malevolence. The only answer to this rather dreary outlook is to find and remain working in your Proximal Development zone. svgMy recommendation is also: dont make up destructive barriers in your life. If you set up your own difficult barriers inside yourself, you make your life process almost hopeless and you slowly die.What barriers? Unforgiveness, condemnation, hate, cynicism, defensiveness, indifferenceall are self-made barriers preventing an upbeat, successful, happy and healthy life.

So even though I shared my pessimistic (real) view of life, please take a look at using your freedom to choose to transform your life into a satisfying great adventure.stay in your Proximal Development zone

What key factors led to the rise of the Roman civilization?

What has always struck me in the history of Rome is the ability to learn from previous and more evolved Italic cultures: from Greeks and Etruscans it learns the use of the hoplite phalanx, some institutions of power and, over the centuries, the ability to mediate between the needs of the wealthy and the plebs.Every painful defeat leads the Romans to modify its system of military enlistment and the organization of the legion: the fighting on mountain terrain against the Samnites changes the structure of the legion and makes it more flexible and agile. The Punic War II, with the confrontation / clash with the greatest military genius of the time, Hannibal, makes it clear that the war includes not only frontal clash but the use of tactics and guerrilla warfare. I do not know how many ancient civilizations would have survived a defeat like that of Canne, nor would they have conceived such a complex plan for the logistical skills of the time such as that of bringing the war to Carthage (such as that of Scipio the African)

Why is America shamed for slavery? Were we not the first to end it?

America still hasnt let go of slavery as an economic/social option.Right this minute America engages in slavery at a distance. US business owners hire workers in countries where pay is low, benefits are non-existent, with zero job protection, working conditions are unregulated and unsafe.

The current administration is pushing for right to work wage where workers will compete with each other for jobs by accepting ever lower remuneration for their work. The return of the Company Store system will mean workers have little more than slave-status.Legislation against womens reproductive rights deprives them of access to contraception, condones rape, punishes women for having abortions, and compels women to breed against their will.

Prisons in America are being privatized which means, in order to increase profitability, private prisons will recruit judges and police who favor guilty verdicts and long sentences. As private agencies, nothing will prevent such institutions from becoming unregulated sweatshops where cost-cutting will make living conditions for inmates the lowest priority.America is legislating to reinstate slavery in a multi-faceted and diverse way.

Thats American ingenuity!.
