I'm not looking for a dictionary definition so no links to elswhere please.

Patriarchy describes a society where men are in charge, so then does Matriarchy describe a society where women are in charge?

If in a matriarchal society men and women have equal status then would we be better off calling them 'partnership society'?

There seems to be a subtle presupposition that men are the badies and women are the goodies; that when men are in charge inequality, war and exploitation prevail but when women are in charge, equality, freedom and cooperation prevail.

I've met some manipulative, controlling women in my time and I've met some very fair, patient and sensitive men. Do you think feminists are just projecting things they don't like in themselves onto men

I believe in God and that there is more to life than what we see on earth. Life is meaningful because of it. But religions like Christianity and Islam destroy the apeal of the existence of a God. They do this because of their "rules of life" and with concepts that non believers will go to hell. Also, they go so far as to base things on some books -like the bible and Q'uran. Books that are full of contradictions and discriminations. For example in Islam the belief that something so natural as homosexuality is a sin.

This is not fair. It is not fair that these religions degrad the concept of a wonderful God. I believe in God and this God loves you regardless of your religion/belief. God does not require that you believe or think your sexual preference is a sin. God is pure love and proof of God is all around us.

Do you agree that religions like Christianity and Islam are turning people towards atheism?

I live in an apartment that is one half below ground. I'm in the Chicago area and we've had a ton of rain. Over the last couple of days, water has been slowly seeping in along the baseboards and soaking up though the carpet and padding.

My question is, is this a leaking foundation that is going to be a problem in the future too? I know we've had an abnormal amount of rain, but is it going to leak slowly and less noticeably at other times and be a risk of mold?

My landlord says we can get out of the lease and lose no money, but I don't want to have to move if I can avoid it. And I also don't want to be around if they are going to be tearing up the foundation and walls for repairs.

Any advice at all would be helpful. What would you do in my situation?

I mean really, if i were to do situps.. would 1 situp count as like a salt grain of fat burned off?

is there a site where i can measure how much i would need to do to burn xx amount of fat in a selected amount of time?

I heard some people saying a full days workout does make a difference, and i heard others say that you wont burn anything.. that results take time...

I understand how hard it can be to workout and not see results right away.. but it would be nice to know somethings goin on inside ya know? or atleast you know your getting the relative results your aiming for in your set amount of time..

Its hard to explain...

I want to burn xx fat by next (insert day), how much (insert suggested exercise) do i need to do to make it happen?

along with staying below (number) (calory/carb/sugar/whatever) daily.

Is there a site that calculates this or maybe a guide that helps you do this? Much thanks in advance!

Scenic Mountain Medical in Big Spring, Tx policy is the following according to their website:

Any patient having inadequate insurance coverage, or no insurance coverage, will be requested to make appropriate deposits at the time of admission
You will be asked to pay any co-pays or deductibles not covered by your insurance at the time of service.

Even thos it does state this on their website. My son was still denied a payment plan even tho his insurance would have paid 90 percent.
My son could have died if we just have walked out of the hospital. His doctor told him to go straight to Midland right away which is 45 mins away. It took the emergency room their another 4 hours and they performed the surgery that night at 10:38.

Okay, so I bought this alarm clock radio for my iPod for like 80 bucks, but it does something rather odd. Every night at 2:12 am it turns on by itself and plays a specific playlist, only one song on that playlist, and repeats it. The song is "Don't Matter" - Akon. It repeats for about a half hour and then turns off.

It doesn't matter what song/playlist I go to bed listening to, it happens. I don't have an alarm set for it, and there isn't anything on my iPod that can let me do that.

So I'm kind of freaking out. Is this a hardware kind of thing or do I have a "haunted" clock? Any one else had similar problems?

the link for the clock that I have

If she holds that bitterness and hate in her heart she will probably become a predator against innocent children. What can we do to help her forgive her rapist publicly so that she doesn't live with bitterness and hate the rest of her life.

How can we rehabilitate her so that she doesn't become a predator herself?

She has a greater chance of becoming a predator than the average person!

Jesus taught forgiveness and it is our duty to ensure that our fellow Mormons including Elizabeth Smart understand that this is vital.

She will never be able to attend college without being taunted by other students about her rape. Yes people can be mean but perhaps if she lost her bitterness karma wouldn't come back to giver her a kick.

Peace out my Mormon brothers and sisters:)
