Self-destruction

I need an example of the situation when someone is loved and admired by everyone around him/her,
but behaves aggressively and self-destructively for unknown reasons and can't be helped.

Is there a name for that in psychoanalysis?

And what are the sources of such behavior?
To summarize them in one sentence.

Quote:

In Polish we have the expression: "to pet somebody do death".


Did this happen to your stars?

I doubt that I understand u correctly.

1 ) I assert no proprietary interest in any stars, regardless of the fact that I am in orbit around one.

2 ) Petting is inconsistent with phenomena
of temperature and gravity inherent in stars.

Quote:

As for me: I've tested myself on the Internet and I have strong artistic abilities in the fields of literature and photography. I graduated from one of our major universities in the 1990s. Professionally, I'm a translator specializing in novels and long brochures, with about 5000 pages behind me.

I've just been expelled from the English forum here
as too professional to be helped. They are right!

I 've never known anyone who has been expelled b4.
I better stay away from that forum,
because of my profession ( law ).
R u in Poland ?

Inasmuch as we have just met, and we r on the subject of language,
I shud let u know that after several decades of using conventional English spelling,
I have rejected that paradime insofar as it is non-fonetic.
Non-fonetic spelling of English is inefficient, an offence against reason, and wasteful.
I favor the sound logic of Spanish, which is almost fully fonetic,
and children need not be told how to spell any more than thay need to be told
how to cause their livers to function.

I deem it child abuse, and a disservice to future generations,
to perpetuate the non-fonetic part of English.
Everything shud be spelled as it is pronounced.
I am sure that will become the case; I like to help accelerate the process
of ripping down the old paradime by demonstrating
that there is an easier n faster way to do it.

Quote:

I've also tested myself for political views.
In America, I would be in the right wing of the Democratic Party
or even close to Lieberman.

In America, we tend to think of the Southern Democrats as being on the right wing.
Many of them became Republicans when Goldwater ran for President in 1964.
I voted for Goldwater.
To my mind ( and to the mind of Barry Goldwater )
being right wing means closely adhering to the liberty minded
point of vu of the Founders: Washington, Madison, and Jefferson et al.
This is a filosofy ( philosophy ) of individualism and l'aissez faire libertarianism.

I find that a good test of ideology is where one stands on the right
of a citizen to defend his life and other property
from the violence of criminals or animals,
and the right to possession of the emergency equipment ( loaded guns )
that is necessary to enforce that right, ( this is the right wing point of vu )
or
( the left wing vu point )
that there shud be a DOCILE citizenry who must take their chances
as to predatory violence, being reduced only to begging for mercy in the face of criminal violence.

Do u care to identify where u stand in this regard ?



Is Lieberman right wing ?

I'm in Poland with Warsaw as its capital.
I'm in a town in a remote area of the country, but the town is quite modern
thanks to various investors, foreign and Polish.

Your English is flawless.
How did u learn to speak n write English ?

Quote:

Lieberman has just supported some sort of attack against Iran.

Being right wing means being conservative,
since the French parliament when the conservatives
( supporting the King ) sat on the right.
In America, being conservative means supporting the principles
of individualism and l'aissez faire libertarianism of the Founders of the Constitution.

I do not believe that CONTINUING our war on Iraq
is necessarily in accord with those principles,
now that the threats of Saddam and his evil princes have been removed.

Quote:

From what I understand, he sometimes votes with the GOP,
and sometimes with Democrats.

This is fairly common.
It is not unusual for either side to do that,
depending upon the issue involved.

Quote:

Personally, I think that strikes against nuclear installations
are much better than Iraq-type invasions.

So stipulated.

Quote:

I meant the right wing OF Dems, not the right wing of the whole spectrum.

As to guns, I was in the army (for three months)
and I know how to operate a Kalashnikov.

An admirable weapon that justifies its popularity.
It a shame that Kalashnikov never got any royalites on it.
Poor Kalashnikov.

Quote:

Keeping guns at home is not greatly popular here.
The level of violent crime has fallen in recent years after the end of
the transitional period when mafias were rampant. But you can get the
permission and protect yourself. In the 1990s, when someone shot a
burglar dead, he/she was sent to prison,
nowadays it is thought of as justified defence.

What do u think of personal liberty in Poland now ?


How good r the restaurants in Poland ?

Quote:

Well, my English is not so perfect, and better in writing than in speaking.
It comes from having read thousands of pages in books, on the Internet, from listening to broadcasts.

Is Polish a fonetic language ?

Is it spelled as the words are pronounced ?

Quote:

All the democratic freedoms are in force. Now we have a right-wing government here (friends of Bush and Sarkozy), which is vilified in the West for being anti-homosexual, for example. The Kaczynski brothers (no connection with the Unabomber) are patriotic conservatives, with ties to the Church. They are strongly anti-Communist or even anti-Socialist, but opposition exists. This government is not popular because so far it has offered mainly stagnation. Generally, since 1989, every 4 years, very regularly, right-wing and left-wing govs have replaced each other, with mostly the same faces.

What did u think of life under the communists ?

Quote:

You'd certainly find good restaurants in Poland,
it's a popular business here.

What is the best restaurant in Warsaw ?

Quote:

Poland is still very pro-American, here between Germany and Russia.

It is in NATO, right ?

Do u feel any danger from Russia ?

More about the present Poland: twice fewer dwellings are built than under Communism.
Apartments are extremely expensive while then they were practically distributed for free.

Prostitution seems to be developing quickly as the result of big appetites and difficult circumstances.
The same as in Russia, Cuba or Cambodia.

Generally, this is not the German model, but rather a third world model.
When people are suddenly thrown out of socialism and put into capitalism, it's a huge shock.
They learn such words as unemployment, eviction, organized crime.
The same processes will take place in Cuba if the system there falls one day.
