Are siamese twins legally one person or two. For example if one of them has medical insurance coverage does it automatically cover them both since health issues affect them both. Are they issued two birth certificates and two social security numbers, etc.

I am doing this research for a Women's Studies class that I am participating in and your opinions would be greatly appreciated.

How do you feel about the ads in women's magazines that constantly talk about losing weight and gaining the "perfect" body? Do you think that it lowers self esteem for girls that do not look like that? Also, do you think that it would cause more eating disorders pressuring girls to be skinnier?

The other day i saw a girl trip over her shoelace and someone who saw her started laughing. I don't understand what's so funny about it?

Or how many women hit on them? Why do you have to advertise your sex life to everyone?

For example, whenever someone refers to an American, it always gets broken down to black, white, etc. But places like brazil and puerto rico where theres a big mix, they are all just called brazilians or puerto ricans. Do you think Americans will eventually have their own disinct look and culture in 100 or more years?

I have seen scare tactics and confrontational therapy used by people to help others change addictive behaviour. I used to think that they were speaking about distant others and those examples did not apply to me; that I am the exception. Have there been any studies on these strategies and how effective are they?

well, im a male, 21yo, 6'0, not bad looking.
The thing is that I've had sex twice, when i was 18.(one night stands)
The reasons i dont have sex anymore is that im afraid that ill get some STD and bc i dont want to have sex with ugly ppl.
am i wasting my time? i mean as u know a man's "libido" doesnt get better as he ages, he'll probably end up with erectile dysfunction.
Also, i think i can have sex(and be worry-free) if ppl can show me that they dont have any stds(on paper from the clinic).
sometimes i think that im wasting my youth, and that later in life ill regret it.
am i being paranoid? should i be more "open"?
if u have anymore questions just email me

In my humble and limited experience women prefer to break down and then carryon as if nothing has happened or runaway as opose to actually trying to come to a solution. This has caused me so much grief in the past its untrue. These women I have known are intelligent, loving, caring and wouldn't wish upset on anyone yet do because they seem to be incapable of even attempting to solve a problem. Just why? I can only think of two answers one they really can't (why?) or two (and I don't like this one either) they are astonishingly selfish. Help me! :) I don't want either of the above answers to be true. Is there anything I can say to communicate that its usually a good idea to solve problems quickly and simply without pissing them off and before things become an issue?!! I feel stupid for not being able to understand, I'm trying to solve this problem!

I'm a high school senior planning for college - architecture or engineering of some type.
I've read some economics books (like The World is Flat) and realized many engineering jobs are getting outsourced to China and India.
This worries me - will the American economy still be successful in 10 years? Will it be possible for Americans to study advanced fields in technology and engineering, and still compete with the sweatshop and low-paying megamanufacturers overseas?

There's this friend of mine that boys consider fat and ugly but she is one of the most nicest girls you could ever meet and she has a great sense of humor and because of that, I think she's beautiful. What do you think and why?
