Are "sensitive" and "weak", synonymous terms?

Is it all just a matter of self-control?

Is today's man completely emotionally numb? Or is this just a defense mechanism? Do guys never really feel lonely or want companioship? Or do guys really just want a sex buddy/ Servant? Like so many say they do.
Please be honest

...theres always a bunch of people that try to be smartasses and completely try to shut down the question rather than just give an answer to it. Or they try to be funny by giving a silly or unrelated answer, or they insult the questioner for not knowing the answer already. What are these people thinking?

what kind of people are on this forum? this minister said people who abuse are justified in kicking your *** and that the abused need to take responsibility for getting their *** kicked for no reason. what kind of retarded nonsense **** is this? yeah im upset cause you people make no sense and have no morals? did oj's wife deserve to die, along with her pets? NO! do children who get beat by their abusive parents black and blue deserve it ? No! thats why there is DCFS to put you scum in check! Do women who end up in domestic/ battered shelters cause it and deserve it? No. Did the peoples of the holocaust deserve that?No Did African americans ask to suffer unbearable abuse by the hands of whites to gain equal rights and right to happiness, liberty & freddom we all deserve ? This is seriously a messed up and sick society that justifies and condones violence of any sort. you people are sick and No I have never hit anyone and never will cause I have sense and morals.

One time when I was looking for an address, I accidentally ended up in the basement of a funeral home, which contained offices of other businesses. MORBID, heh?!!! On the door of one of the (very small) offices was a sign that listed the names of about TEN people, followed by the title, "Systems Facilitators" in much the same manner as follows: Jones, F. R., Public Accountant. Because the city in which I live is a moderate size and not a metropolis, I recognized a number of the names as full-time faculty (with full-time jobs) in psychology and in educational psychology at the local university. I also recognized some other names as psychologists, in part because of some recent scandals that had badly tarnished the reputation of the mental health professions on a local level.

Why would these people have been taking on extra work as "systems facilitators"? What duties exactly does the job comprise? Would the fact that they were working in a funeral home be significant?

I've just been voting on some unresolved questions. In every case I discovered I had been the first person to vote and it reminded me of when I was a kid and used to go to the swimming baths as early as possible to be the first one to dive in to the perfectly smooth and still water.

I don't hear voices... Sometimes I hear my door open or it sounds like someone shuffling around the other end of the house...no one's ever there. Pretty often I'll be listening to my radio in the car and I SWEAR I hear my phone ringing. I hear it ringing whenever there's a constant noise around me. Sometimes I'll be half asleep and I'll hear someone say my name so loud it makes me fully awake.

My sister was diagnosed with mild schitzophrenia and acute paranoia. I'm pretty sure I'm atleast a little paranoid. But the biggest thing is that I have a 20% hearing loss in one hear and 40% in the other. Sometimes the ringing in my ear gets so loud I want to shoot myself. One time I was watching a movie and I swear I heard someone bumping up against my house. The moment I muted my TV it stopped. I know it wasn't coming from the movie cause I rewound it. No one's ever with me when I hear these things...

i told her that there is no excuse for anyone hitting her but she should examine herself to see why everyone would be hitting her.
i told her to be nice to people and they probably wouldn't hit her.
she even sent me a nasty e-mail and i think she's a real nut.
was i wrong to tell her the truth?

I have an older relative whom i last saw as a small child. We haven't talked for many years. I am trying to contact him; he is a Professor of Human Psychology. I'd like to be able to learn more about what he does; can someone give me a general description of the aforementioned field or refer me to some sites where I can find some helpful information? Thank you in advance.

And they could try to follow a prescribed set of rules and budget,so they know what's expected.Like people do in India. My horoscope said I like to try alternative lifestyles,or different living arrangements.I wouldn't mind trying compatible marriage-I'd also like to breed and own some men to and tell them what I want them to do.They'd be citizens of my country. I'd try hooking up at an earlier age too-like Gypsies do-I might have kids I own,married as early as 16;they'd still be able to aquire an education,both,but my folks would have to be loyal to a group,tribe or person.They'd be accounted for.I guess I'd need a separate tribe charter or something.We'd work with peoples will not against it.

Ok, everyone on T.V. always make fun of Kansans. For example: I was at a Lance Burton magic show in Las Vegas and he asked an audience member where he was from and he replied "Kansas". Then Lance replied with, "Welcome to the U.S." I thought it was funny, but do people really think that?

Why do people deny the Holocaust ever happened, and say that the Jews dwell on it way too much? From what I know about it, it was beyond terrible..and I think those who are Jewish are right about talking about it...because what if some Hitler-type maniac came to power in some other nation...and decided to try and wipe out other minorities/religions/races just to create some 'super race'? Could it happen again?
