Many words in seem to have no obvious connection to meaning (ex.: English dog), others may be more motivated by their sound shape (glitter, gleam, glisten, glow, glance, etc., or lag, sag, drag; ram, cram, slam, and so on) made more obvious perhaps by listing them by same segment or segments.

In some languages there are hardly ANY onomatopoeic (imitative) words, in others they can make up as much as half of all word roots (maybe more)- there is no connection to culture level, but there may be one to the TYPE of language (how it puts words and affixes, if any, together). How rich do you feel your language is in this regard?

Some people are much more in tune with form/meaning connections, where they exist, than others- how are you with this?
Others are aware of even deeper connections- such as those between sound and other sensations (colors, shapes, densities, textures). You?

It's often held that onomatopoeia is 'childish' and best left behind by the better educated. How do you feel?

Try to think about how the color effects you psychologically or why you like it because of some other reason. Just try to analyze it.

Do you think someone without a genetic predisposition can become so stressed that they react and deal with the stress with schizophrenic psychosis that will soon go into remission? Or do you think the genetic predisposition must be there. I think that in some cases the brain is in overdrive with stress and emotions and reacts by creating the psychosis, hence you have acute schizophrenia episode.

It would seem that poor people who suddenly find themselves instantly wealthy would spend wisely and be frugal. In reality, most people who find themselves suddenly rich, like the dot com crowds and lottery winners, spend like crazy. Huge parties. Lavish homes. Tons of toys.

Whether as a result of race, sex, sexual preference, age, nation of origin, your culture, the language you speak or anything else, prejudice is an ignorant and hateful response to something perceived as "different" from the so called norm of a given group. Prejudice exists throughout the world and is expressed against a variety of different kinds of people. For example, in the US for a long time, the skinny women are thought to be the best and fat women are discriminated against and looked down upon. There are, however, some cultures where fat women are revered. This is but on example..there are many. The reason is also the same: ignorance and hate. And...fear! People are afraid to have things diferently from, "the way I was brought up." They don't realize how miserable their thinking makes them and that by opening their mind to new possibilities, they may learn how to achieve a happy and satifying life.

please be specific and give one from early childhood, also give your age so we can compare and see if we had the same toys from that time.

(I'll go first, I had lots of toys, but I remember a few in particular from when I was very small, like 6 or 7 years old.
Does anyone remember those little plastic mermaids with the long hair that came with a baby mermaid and a sponge lily pad with holes in it to stick the mermaid and baby in?

Does our anthopocentric perspective blind us to the concept that perhaps we are not the most important species, but just one of many in the web of life on Earth? If humans have now become like a "cancer" in that web, perhaps our removal from it, would be the best thing overall for the planet?
