Social Science - 18 September 2006

We live in New York City, and they seem to be everywhere after dark. Every time she sees one, which is almost daily, she panics. I try to reassure her that they aren't in her apartment, but I can't imagine how much she would panic if one did turn up - they're all around the alleys outside, and it wouldn't really surprise me. Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions? A good book that might help? Right now I just try to calm her down and tell her that she's bigger than them, and they can't hurt her, but I don't know how much it helps. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Does it just mean being a female? Or does it just mean being sensitive about things? Does it mean you get your feelings hurt very easily? I get my feelings hurt too easily, and I dont really like hanging around with guys. I like being with girls mostly. But I am happily married and have been for almost 7 years. I just don't understand why I feel like I can't talk or act like other guys, and that I can't really indentify with them. Im not gay at all. And I'm not unhappy with who I am, I just feel out of place a lot of times.

I did some extra work for a co-worker. He was the one who offered to pay me for it, I didn't ask to be compensated. I feel as if my helpful nature has been taken advantage of. I have not made much of an issue about it because I thought maybe he was hard up for money. Then I learned he was going on vacation with his wife and 2 kids...to Hawaii! So I wrote him an email and told him I would not be doing anthing else for him until he paid me wht he owes. Here's the kicker! His response was rude and demeaning. He told me that he was insulted by the insinuation that he would not pay and offered to fedex it to me if I was that hard up. I don't want to have an uncomfortable work environment...I love my job and most of the people I work with ;}. He made me feel like a beggar with my handout. I let him know that It made me uncomrtable to be put in the position to have to ask for it. Someone please give me some perspective, Now I'm the one who is both insulted and degraded. How do I handle this?

For those of you who prefer to call them native americans... why not native canadians, or native mexicans? Native north-americans? Spare me the politically correctness and just help me answer this.

Different ethnic groups grow little to copious amounts of hair, according to Wikipedia. Native Americans are the only ones listed as growing hardly any. Why is that?

I have a severe case of stupidity. I didn't have any money so I went to unemployment, did my three job search a week for 3 weeks. they tell me I don't qualify because I quit working so long ago that whatever. No money. So I don't have any food for me or the animals so I go to welfare. They give me food stamps. Great everyone is happy. Then I get a call for a job, Taco Bell, assistant manager. Great, I go see the welfare lady and she says they are going to send me to a couple doctors, because I haven't worked since I fell down the stairs. So, I start work at TB and I can't walk by the end of my shift. My back and legs are all numb and tingly and the pain shooting from my heels is like standing in stilleto's all night. Go to the doctor and they say don't work. Screwed up welfare because of the job and the job is screwed because I'm popping pills to stay on my feet. How in the world did things get so fouled up. Plus, I have no friends or family to ask this question to.

Do you think is because the people who live there are "less evolved"?( I know this sounds awful). But you can see it in the traffic for example. In letting a pedestrian cross the street. In throwing garbage on the sidewalk. There are lots of little things that people do where they show that they have little respect for the others. What do you think?

why are we here?
how was the universe formed?
what is my purpose?

When the need to know the answers exceeds logic and rational thought, can this be classified as crazy?

women are so selective in their bed partners. men will jump on anything. it used to be where women were submissive and do what they're told. since women's lib, women have been derilict in their duties as lovers, mothers, and homemakers. there are real men out there who need attention to survive-just as plants need water. if you really follow the day in the life of a woman in these days you can see they're just as nasty as men-just look at girls gone wild? and don't tell me those girls were forced or pushed into doing those things, because they were'nt-they acted on their own behavior-and the fact that they were boozed up made them show their true colors; so why are the women in the working world so afraid to act out their carnal desires? why can't they be like men and have relations with the first they see-like they want to. if they want the same rights as men then they ought share the same uninhibited lust as men
