Social Science - 15 October 2006

I know so many whiners and complainers and people who intentionally make mistakes, and they seem to prefer that lifestyle even when the opportunity for success is right at their doorstep and asking to be taken in exchange for minimal effort. This love of being hurt and powerless totally confuses me. Why do people do it? Why do people empower/encourage others to do it?

Do you allow other people to make your mind up for you, do you just go along with their suggestions, and then kick yourself afterwards because you know they were wrong.....how many of you have done this at least once in your life...and what was the reason behind it?.....eg where you feeling low, insecure, afraid what?.......

If you are a people pleaser...why do you think it is so important to please other's, and displease yourself in the process sometimes?.......

And why?

The reason I ask is because the Femdom lifestyle and culture has grown dramatically over the past 30 years or so. It seems to me that it has become a lot more acceptable today (at least in western culture), for a woman to allow her demanding side to come to the forefront. Granted not all women are or want to be dominant. However it seems more and more women are embracing this lifestyle

I keep hearing that China controls much of the US debt and could easily destroy the economy. How so?
I don't understand how this works.

My questions;

1. the term "caucasian" comes from the regions of Cocasus. It is a modern days' Russia, Ukraine, etc. Does it mean that the people from Africa traveled to Mid-east, then Cocasus and settled on Western Europe?

2. if then, what does it mean by "Indo-Europe" language? what does India have to do with the Europeans?

3. how did human kinds traveled and spread the civilization? I know the first human appeared on earth is from Africa. Did they travel (spread) to many regions in the world? Where did they arrive first? Did they arrive first in India and then went north west toward to Cacasus?

I want to know, how the human ancestors traveled.

4. so called the "asians", especially the chinese, koreans and japanese have Mongolian heritage. Then the Mongolians are actually the "caucasians" traveled to Asia and settled later?

thank you.

In other words, do these groups of people consider themselves to be Caucasian, Aryan or White? Do they claim heritage with Europeans? What is their relationship with White people?

If you seek revenge, this doesn't necessarily make you a "closed minded conservative" and if you turn the other cheek, it doesn't make you a "bleeding heart liberal."

I'm just curious and would like some examples. *Personal examples preferred* This isn't really a political question, even though I used politics as a way to show that I'm open to offbeat answers.

what im getting at is this......would it generate more revenue to do away with the income tax system and have a national sales tax.

id think the gvmt should tax forign investments as well.

it seems to me that more revenue would be generated for the gvmt, and folks would be encouraged to invest in our country, and we could greatly reduce our biggest buracracy

If the theory of evolution is true then White people should have evolved into browner skinned individuals by now, based on their geographic location, diet and environment. Why does their skin still turn red and burn when they stay outside too long. PS- I'm aware that colored people burn too but that's not the point here.

this b___ goes out with a freind of ours(circle of friends)
When I run into her, she acks as thou she's above me and tries to embarass me or point out something i did or said or what ever "tells me how cute..."(most of us see thru the sarcasm and wait to see my reaction).
Last night she made her usual comments about every ones appearance fishing for return complents and notice of her boobs. (I have some too, but am more modest)

Then a hair color issue of how she washed her gray away, then brought attention to my temp color that washed out and was showing my gray, blah blah blah (you get the picture)

She's blond and shows off her stuff(gets the attention she wants). I'm brunett and prefer to keep my stuff to myself.
So I don't see a competion issue.

I have a good rep. of being cool, never "catty".I try to be polite,but I'm ready to tell her to shut the h___ up.

Anything clever I can do or say to end this crap of 3yrs so far without looking like a b____ myself?
