    Vincent, interestingly enough I had a conversation about exactly this just the other day … except I live in Ontario, Canada, and I was talking about what is happening in my province. We currently have a government that is very interested in the ‘bottom line’ and is actually sending out up to $200 checks to every taxpayer as a ‘refund.’ Which sounds great, until you consider the huge numbers of homeless, starving people on our streets who need shelters and food. Or the people who are dying at home because our hospitals (which are entirely publicly funded) don’t have enough beds. Or the classrooms with way too many students because the school boards are being forced to ‘tighten their belts.’ My point is that it is not just your society that has become so focused on money that it is losing its focus on people, although I will admit we are basically all a part of the North American society. However, you are also not the only one who worries and wants to change this trend. There are millions of us out there, and I believe that eventually people will wake up to the incredible injustice that goes on in our so-called ‘privileged’ countries. I just hope it happens sooner rather than later.

    Girls want to be treated like people. How would you befriend a guy in your class? Maybe by talking about how tough an assignment was, or whether you like the class, or what other classes you’re taking, or the weather, or sports, or politics or whatever! So pretend the girl is another guy, and with the exception of eliminating the obvious guy-to-guy stuff like how hot the prof is, talk to her on that level. It took me a long time to figure out how to talk to guys, so I know how you feel. Don’t think about whether they’ll become interested in you or whatever, just concentrate on making friends. The other stuff will come with that.
