Social Science - 5 July 2006

I personaly am an Atheist so when I found out that america had just recognized it as an official religion I laughed alot. After that was done i figured out the ramifications of their decision. You could start a church for atheism.

Since the "church" would be tax free this could be some very interesting stuff. Now I dont believe that people would come to listen to preaching, but what if the church just had smart people (profesors and such) to awnser questions on math, science, and other academic things.

I would love to get this started but there are 2 major problems
1- starting capitol (u cant ask for investment because there could be no return)
2- getting people to come and teach 1 or 2 days a week (befor the church became large there would be no pay)

If you had to rely on these 5 things to help you navigate in various cultures on a journey that that took you through nearly every culture of the world, what 5 things could you depend on for the most part. Let’s also say that if these things are presented to you in overly abstract terms then it would do you no good.

The 2 times I've asked questions simple search engines can't help me on, I've gotten either 0 responses or humor related answers. Too bad to. While being a worthy experiment, it seems yahoo answers is failing.

I believe in Parapsychology (powers that come from your mind, telekinesis, etc.) and my friend doesn't. How can I prove it to him? I've shown him videos of people using it, told him the military said they used it in military tactics, but he still doesn't believe me! I'm trying to train myself in using it to show him, but in the meantime, HOW CAN I PROVE IT TO HIM?!

Do you believe that Lie Detector actually works? I don't. I believe that a psychologist with many year experience on his/her hand can easily fool the lie detector. We all know that lie detector works by measuring our heart beats and nerves. What is your opinion?

Whenever I come over to the women's studies category, it is inundated with posts from men who apparantly have poor opinions of women and post horrible and offensive questions to and regarding women. Any one know why? And extra credit if you can state what type of questions should be in women's studies.

The feminist movement has had its greatest effect on the US and UK, (or the western world). Though feminism has tried, without rest, to influence the remaining world, it has done so to a much lesser effect. Asia, the middle-east, and the Hispanic culture, are still quite machismo.

Even some of these nations that have had female leaders have only had so for political correctness, and for the sake of experience. If one visits these same countries, they are still very masculine. Most of these nations are still 'old-fashioned'. They are still family oriented. They are still very religious. Their cultures of old are still dominant. The man still earns the money. The women are still considered the nurturers, and home-keepers. Much of this was shown durring the World Cup. It was still the men being cheered by men and women.

That being said, is immigration restoring the US's & UK's masculinity? How will immigration effect feminism in the near and distant future?
