Social Science - 18 August 2006

In the media these days, women truly are sex objects, and men are more openly piggish than ever. Hip hop lyrics and videos exploit and degrade women. Phone sex lines are now called "dating services," with commercials showing hot young women who seem eager to touch themselves- or a man. Now, women are sex slaves- they should dress, act, and shake their booty to get a man's attention; but they can't be promiscuous. Around any other men, she must be a lady, but in the bedroom, she should be a pornstar. The emphasis is still on the man's pleasure. Even with all this, he's still likely to use her, beat her, cheat on her, get her pregnant and leave her... Women have never been so openly disrespected, and yet you hardly hear anyone complaining. Why aren't we fighting this?

Steron, an Irish company, has today claimed they have invented a technology that produces free, clean, and constant energy. Supposing they are right, what impact do you think this would have on our world?

I use to go to the gay bar all the time but now I have tired of the whole experience. The people there seem to pride themselves of promiscuity. Everyone seems so superficial and lacking intellectual depth. Does anyone else feel this way?

how comes in most cases of voice can somebody and myself make that distinction myself. Similar to the way you can distinct a Jewish American in voice (from what i have seen).

I hope i have not been watching too many movies, sorry if I have.

I used to wet up my moms house try to kill flies. I believed that if you wet a flies wings they would be too heavy for him to lift when he flies. If they were heavy he couldnt fly giving me a chance to kill him.

I didn't understand the word VIRGIN. I thought if you were AVIRGIN then you hadn't engaged in sex. I thought if you were VIRGIN you did have sex.

I dunno I think those are pretty silly. So what's your story???

Or weird thing did u eat?? I used to eat match heads burned or not. I have a friend who used to eat baby powder. Not just straight out of the container, it had to be after you sprinkled it and it was floating in the air. She would hold her mouth open and take it in.

I dunno maybe we're just weirdo's.

When answering this.. don't base your answer on rather or not you are a Christian, base it on if you think I should trade a personal conviction for friendship and connection with more of my peers

Theres this girl who lives right next door to me and i REALLY like her. We hang out every day at each others houses and we are pretty good freinds. We are both 15 and are in the same grade. I want to know if she likes me anything more then just a freind. She is better looking then me (im not THAT bad to look at, im just not a 10) We hug everytime we see each other and we joke around, but she does the same thing with the other nieghbors, but she is with me more then them. She always talks about other guys in front of me like im another girl. One night we DID make out and i got to third base, but its never happened again, we dont even talk about it (is that bad??)....SO I REALLY NEED HELP!!DOES SHE LIKE ME??how do i find out?im really shy and im afraid to ask because of what she might say.
sorry this was sooo long.

for example, for me it would read:

2) The colour of our coastal water
3) The bigotry of so many NZers

is it a ritualistic group thing where I make a question based on my concern for some random stupid answers, and all kinds of random stupid people crawl out of the woodwork and exclaim cheerily "I'm here! I'm SPED! Get used to it!" I WASN'T TALKING ABOUT YOU!!! but now I am.

Rise up, my stupid children... rise up and proclaim "the world is ours! we shall take over the world! now let's eat!"

"where are the samiches?"

"I thought you were going to bring da samiches"

"oh, man! let's go back and get some food. where's the map?"

"i thought you had the map!"





lol,

I'm laughing at this little scenario that just played out in my head, all these uber-defensive, knee-jerk reaction paste-eaters are at a gathering, and because of my little blurb, everyone has remembered to bring sandwiches and a map, but nothing else... oh MAN that's funny!

Please be specific relative to causal factors and the process by which these manifest themselvers in such behavior.... and please note I am asking about the "internal dynamics".

We all have different sides to ourselves -
The side when we walk into the office.
The side when we walk into a bar.
The side when we meet someone we really like.
The side when we're just sitting at home and watching TV.

Which YOU do you prefer to be?

For me, I love it when I'm out with my friends, because I love to be as crazy and energetic as possible without being judged. ;D
