how do we know that what we hear isn't what we want to hear? like you say something and what i hear is the response that i want you to say, but when i say something, you hear the response that you want me to say?

I'm the nice girl, struggling to put my foot down. I speak my mind, but I don't get what I want. It's hard pin pointing what I want a lot of the time.

What I mean is.. please try giving answers on how you percieve beauty is......it doesnt necessarily has to be " oh i'm gonan write all gud stuff.....".coz very less people go for inner beauty. Thus, just write blankly on how you percieve beauty is...and how u wished to percieve wat beauty is? ....thanx for postin your answers.!!

Abortion = Deadbeat parents?

I know it is politically incorrect to say the following but here goes. Having studied the systemic attack of fathers, and now parents over the last 30 years in our social services, I note that today, the government is going after 'deadbeat' parents.

First they were called 'deadbeat fathers', now they are called 'deadbeat parents', why such a negative name ?

Consider the people who kill their unborn children through abortion, they should be called 'deadbeat' parents. Parents who do not support their children financially should not be called 'deadbeat' parents, for they at least gave life to their children ?

Bottom line, the system has been corrupted to attack fathers, now parents, (that mothers and fathers), it is plain to me.

Deadbeat parent = Abortion ?

it seems as though he is a solipsist and is famous for this:

1.Nothing exists;

2.Even if something exists, nothing can be known about it; and

3.Even if something could be known about it, knowledge about it can't be communicated to others

have these satements been refuted and proven wrong??

Should the poor conscider those who opress them human?

Should they recognized the wealthy as having any rights when they have none themselves?

If so, why?

Can mind-altering drugs be used as a philosophical tool? Are the drugs effects a mere biproduct of the chemicals they contain, or can it be used as philosophical catalysts?

I was discussing a novel I read with my friend, and said 'I found a lot of truth' in that book. He said 'There is no truth!' He meant everything is based upon perception. Is the statement meaningless since if there really is no truth, you can't rely on his statement being true?

Not sure what this type of question is called. Sort of creates a conundrum - can't answer "yes".

I always feel like an idiot, I always feel manipulated, when I do something positive I question myself too much and I end up back to square one. How can I get away from this cage?I do not have a clue what I want to do in my life. I've got a brain but I miss opportunities, I've lost battles with my parents, I have sacrificed my culture to adapt to this country as a teen. Whenever a guy comes along in my heart I let it pass..., I have lost so many things now that it becomes a habit. All of my egotistical desires have eroded. I feel like letting it all go and and saying f*** off to all of what people expect of me. When I do ask advice it puts me down as I already thought of it before. Is this just a phase of the early twenties? Am I right isn't this country just crap? am I being ignorant? What is it that I'm going through, making mistakes all the time! Why is it that I don't want to succeed in anything anymore? how can I let myself dream again?
