The Bible says that it is. Fortunately, we are simply intelligent human beings who don't believe in a book written by dead, ancient, nomadic men. So why is it wrong? If we have just been socially conditioned to think it's wrong, should we try to change the way things are?

I have really bad nerves and I constantly shake my legs or tap my fingers. I can never sit completely still for more than a couple seconds. I even shake a little bit. My mother tried to help me stop as I was growing up, but nothing she tried worked and I still do it. It is getting really annoying. What is the cause of bad nerves and how can I do away with my nervous habits?

I recently met someone who I had a weird sense of deja-vu with them. Like I could have known them before. I dont know if it was because he reminded me of someone, or if I could have known him in a past life. It was really weird. Other than that one time, I havent seen him since, but I do often think about him since then . Why do we experience things like this? Is it truly because we have known that person before?

We've all seen them. You are in a group of any kind, perhaps even enjoying yourself and someone makes a horrible angry remark of criticism against you and you have no idea why? What is the best way to handle this, short of never seeing them again? (For example, you have to see them all the time, like on the job.)

The chief symptom of ADHD/ADD is boredom. Fidgeting, not doing homework, etc, those are behaviors that come out of being bored.

However boredom is a normal emotion, so I don't think what society calls ADHD is really a disorder.

But, my theory is that the boredom isn't the problem so much, it's the response to it. The emotion of boredom is the result of an unstimulating environment. The facility our bodies provide to get away from boredom that are either doing something (ie, getting a more stimulating environment) or concentrating. When you concentrate, you don't feel boredom, or much of any other emotion. This lets the person do "boring" things.

So the 'natural' cure for ADHD/ADD is practicing concentration.

They have a cool website where they developed a video game that directly trains people to concentrate. It's at http://www.teach-the-brain.org/learn/attention/

You could probably also do it with meditation or martial arts.

I mean you HAVE TO say something to him. YOU HAVE to laugh at him. It's uncontrollable. You are compelled, driven, to talk bad about him. EVERYONE does it. Am I right or am I wrong?! Put yourself in my shoes. If you saw someone TOTALLY without any beauty at all, you would not say something? Nah! You would!

Everytime you set up your mind to utter these 3 simple words to somebody you love, something deeper inside stalls it causing severe burden, so overwhelming that silence overpowers verbal ability. Is there a methodology to overcome this shortcoming (immense sorrow), if at all it is? Is this shortcoming a consequence of fear of losing or it a sign of true love ?

Feminists enjoy stereotyping men as violent, immature, self-centered, sex-cravers. They have taught young girls for decades that men do not care about their minds or personality, and only want their bodies for sexual pleasure.

However, feminists under-mineded nature. It is natural for males to attract women by all and any means. In the same respect, it is natural for women to attract men by all and any means. Since, feminists have taught young girls that men only care about their bodies, young girls are worrying more and more about their bodies with each generation. Even educated girls will still try to attract a man by her appearence.

Is feminists' stereotyping of men actually hurting women?

I was watching a program in the BBC about life behind bars in UK. They interview inmates and staff and so on... In an interview with one of the counsellors, he talked a bit about the psychological therapy murderers received, and the thing is, sometimes they miss the person they have killed, and feel tortured by this, because they are finally mourning someone they killed themselves, I guess it must be torture, but after what they have done, is it fair?

Do they deserve to be treated? Or should they be left with all that guilt, grief and well, the whole psychological torture. Should we treat them as human beings and give an example of how they should treat others, without judgement. OR are we getting in the way of karma, well.. life, what’s coming to them anyway.

No silly answers please, I didn't ask a silly question..but I'll post a silly one soon.
Should this be in Sociology? I wasnt sure..

We Americans have become very good at the blame game. Why can we not see our responsibility in the circustances that surround us? This makes no difference wether it's financial or political or social circumstances. Why?????
