Social Science - 15 October 2006

About a year or so ago, I found out about furry porn (from YTMND in case you're interested). At first, I thought it was like... joke pornography; so, like most things I find funny, I did a google search for it. And, of course, found whole internet communities of furries and stuff.

So, I was just wondering, what causes people to become furries? I know you may not be able to actually answer the question 100% clearly, but give it your best shot. I'm thinking maybe furries received more loving attention from pets then their own parents, or maybe they just had an interest in animals growing up. I'm just kind of curious because furries/yiffies are seemingly all over the internet, but you just never talk to them.

And since there's a lot of people who hate furries, please keep your comments to yourselves.

Is anyone REALLY freaked out by death, not just a little, but a lot. I worry about it everyday, especially at night when I'm alone in the dark. I'm scared of stupid things like mould because it reminds me of decompostion. I'm really afraid of water and drowning too. I can't look at old photos of people from years ago without feeling scared that they lived so long ago and they're dead now. I wory about losing people I love and I can't watch any programmes that involve a lot of death. Do you think I need to see a therapist?

No, I'm really curious what's like to have a vagina and all the parts that girls do. I don't mean to be offensive or a pervert but I'm dead serious. And please don't make up funny answers either okay?

Any suggestions? What factors about the companies contribute to how well their stocks are performing. I'm kind of new to the whole idea.

the world average hrs/wk have to be somewhere round 50-60, taking into account american housewives work over 90hrs/wk [according to some figures on the net] british housewives, ive seen figures of 70 hrs/wk [book 'housewife'] - the 90% of ppl on less than $1/hr must work hard just to survive

& no one can work more than 100-120 hrs/wk longterm, so no one can justify more than twice average pay by hard work, longer hours, gruelling hours, etc

[i think we can assume that a person working 100-120 hr/wk is not working harder than world average hardness/hr]

if we look at hardness of work per hr, the range of hardness of work is even smaller - i cant see that the hardest working person can work much more than 10% harder than the average/hr - & i cant see that the least hardworking person can work much less than 10% less hard/hr without getting fired

by hardness of work, i do not mean productivity, which is affected by machinehelp, muscle, brain, which are gifts, not the person

It wouldn't make you sick. You would be 100% healthy and able to have kids if you wanted. You would just never have a period again. Would you take it?

Ok, I was at a football game the other day and when ever the music came on me and one of my friends would go down and dance. We were just playing arund like wavaing our hands in the air, and playing air guitar, and like shaking our fingers at each other, and this is probably something stupid to worry about, but I'm worried that people will think thats trashy. Tell me what u think from what i described.
