Social Science - 29 August 2006

In this world of much misery and pain, acts of kindness are like rays of hope. Many out there are good, kind-hearted souls who would not hesitate to contribute money, time and effort (among other things) to the ones in need.

What is the one act, that you would really, really want to do above all else and why?

Is it because it concerns a loved one?

Is it because you yourself have experienced the hardship before and do not wish it onto another human being?

Thank you for answering.

I'm asking because I find it much harder to write when I'm not well.

How does this work, for you? Under which circumstances you find it easier to express yourself? And when is it difficult?

Does writing helps you to feel beter or, at least, relieved?

Thank you for sharing your life with me and have a wonderful day! :)

I have a reason why I specifically picked "high school and college" because some guys at that age just think about sex but of course, that's for SOME guys. I'm just talking about the other kind of guys that aren't like that. Unfortunately, we girls around this age can't tell his heart from his penis because all of our hormones are everywhere so it's hard to tell which guy is true.

So I'm just asking these kind of guys for what kind of personality they like and how they get that kind of girl without acting like some loser in front of her or not even talking to her at all...

What the heck do you think happens to people between these two stages? When the men are pursing, they are miserable. Then when they catch, they get bored & cheat so the former object of their affection is miserable? Why are we humans like this & what are the solutions - if any?

If it were up to me, I´d send some sort of program that eliminated porn right out of this planet, but i´m wondering what would happen then.

Can you throw 'em over your shoulder like a continental soldier? Do your ears hang low?

My partner does not share the same views as me about the importance of loosing weight or to work hard to have a career.

Even though my partner feels it is good to loose weight but always the priority # 10 out of 10 things to do.

Focus & Determination are not in my partner's dictionary and concentration is always on Money matters, but does not like to work hard to make money, only relays on my earnings and just suggests not to help others.

My partner is about 50 lbs more than it supposed to be, no Job for the last 9 years.

Always like to cook/eat fatty food, thinks more oil in the food is more tasty.....

I tried many ways to convince that it is important to set a goal and work towards that to have a good career and physically fit.....

I am wondering is there a better way to convince.

Appreciate your help!

A freaky question maybe, just would like to know other peoples' experience with isolation from 'normal' human contact.. ie an extended period of time..

Has it ever given you insight, driven you crazy, have you always had too much of a comfortable relationship with people close to really feel isolated?.. Do you feel it is or has been a big thing in your life?

It's a possibility isn't it? Our body does a lot to adapt us to a particular environment, why not this? I dunno, just a thought, what do ya think?

If so, this must be a good place to hook up with the opposite gender. Should you initiate a conversation or would the other person prefer to just read and be left alone?

DO you think people's handwriting matches their personality. Just think about how you write, neat, sloppy, beautiful calligraphy like, unreadable. It just popped in my head so I decided to ask. just wondering.

Imagine if the concept of interest charges disappeared. You would not earn interest on your savings, but you would also not be charged interest on your debts. Who knows, some flat-rate service fee may cover the bank's costs instead.

In fact, I hear the Arab world once had a banking system like that for religious reasons, and still may. I wonder if their reality is less ridden by instances of personal financial troubles than the western system because of it?

Is there anyone in the know to say something interesting about the topic?

Thanks.

During childhood, especially as one approaches puberty, it's perfectly natural - in fact, some people would argue it's even beneficial - to worry about what others think of you, how they perceive you, how you fit in, etc. However, I've noticed every once in awhile there are certain children who, despite the fact that everyone else seems to be going through this stage, don't really seem too affected by what their peers think. Why is this?
