Social Science - 9 October 2006

if you were to have 3 kids: son, daughter, son, in that order, which one do you think would have the most success? least success? easiest to control? hardest to control? which one would have the most charactor? (keep in mind that the middle child is also the only daughter)

i ask this question because im wondering if the order of siblings affect their personality/behavior.

One example would be that I wanted to get on my town's Parks and Rec Board, but hesitated when I found out one of my wife's best friend's husband is the Chair of the Board. I was concerned if it was ethical to get on since he would be the one approving me appointment. I know this is small potatoes but just to give you an example.
Is it possible that being too ethical may hinder a person?

Ok, so i wake up, or at least I thought i woke up, and i was fishing on Triton (or whichever is the frozen moon of Saturn). I poked some holes in the ground with a chopstick and laid an uncooked piece of Mackrel over the holes. After waiting a few minutes I got a lollypop stick and scratched away the surface near to the Mackrel and saw some fish (i don't know what species) swimming under the surface of the ice.

I start to laugh for some unknown reason, and then somehow wind up in a corner alcove of a bar with a woman i am attracted to (in real life) and she tells me that she hasn't contacted me because she's been having a relationship with a married man.

Answers please!

What I'm really trying to find out here is actually something I realized is that the real reason why this question has gone on answered for so long is that the question itself is poorly defined. Noise can mean many things. It can mean what someone hears or or can mean the vibration itself created when the tree hits the ground. So we really don't know what the questioner is trying to find out when they ask this quetsion. The solution to this unsolved problem- therefore is to simply admit that you don't understand the question and ask the questioner to define what they mean by noise. After you find out what they mean by noise you now have enough information to answer the question.

What I'm trying to find out is- is the real reason why this problem has gone unsolved for so long out of lack of understanding of how to solve this problem, or because people are too proud to admit they don't understand the question?

Is PROZAC a menace to Society, causes disruption, the Prozac users a nuisance or a menace to other people with their behaviour?

---
All right for them, but they make everybody's else life a misery. Why can't they be depressed without Prozac and stop making everybody else depressed and stressed out?

Certain type of drunkards cannot hold their drink. All drug users and teetotallers (a kind of strange drug in itself) condemn the others, so there are no brownie points here? Just personal preferences.

Act naturally. And sitting glues to a television is hardly natural!

I am having continual dreams about being pregnant or someone I know being pregnant. The most recent dream was about a friend I have known for five years. His girlfriend was pregnant but in real life this would be impossible because he is a very strong abstinance 'til marriage believer. I know for certain I am not pregnant so these dreams aren't about me. Can someone tell me what these dreams mean?

It is often said (particularly by politicians) that tax cuts stimulate job creation and economic growth. How economically sound is this idea? I'm looking for any peer-reviewed academic sources that either support or refute this view. Please supply references.

Hi I'm a 21yr old female that keeps secrets well. I am not a skank, I don't wear skirts and skanky clothes, I don't tease or lead on guys.

Anyway guys(all are Christians) have confided in me so easily about their sexual struggles, how bad they treated women, things that they struggle in life and so on. What is it about me that gets guys to naturally confide in me that they play with themselves alone which they know is bad they treated their exwives like slaves and feel bad about it and so on?
