I do my best to prove myself an equal to the opposite sex, and sometimes, exceed my male colleagues in certian things. But even if I'm just as smart, and just as physically fit, will my actions and my words be taken to heart?

My Marriage is in trouble. I believe we need counseling and reluctantly my hubby has agreed to go. Problem? Not many Marriage/Family Therapist to choose from in our insurance plan. Should we see a clinical psychologist or other specialist in this field or stick with the few choices (no males) in our area who are specifically Marriage/Family Therapist?
Thanks so much for your answers and feel free to go into detail about different marriage counseling choices if you want to share.

Socialism is when the workers control the means of production and communism is when the state controls the means of production. Whenever I hear this though, it's followed by how communism eliminates the state because the state induces class struggle and communism is an economic system where there are no classes.

Plz explain what's up here.

The other day my dad actually had the nerve to ask me why, if I love and respect him so much, I don't want to be just like him?? Yes, he was serious! I told him I don't want to be his clone and he said don't state the obvious. He has a Master's degree and is very bright and is a devout Christian. I don't want to be the type to tell people their going to Hell or that they're not really a Christian...lol. There's other things too that I don't want to be like him. What's wrong with him that he would be so arrogant to seriously think that love and respect equals copying him 100%?

A. A funny but absolutely butt-ugly guy who treats you like a princess.
B. A Cool and GQ looking guy who may be 1/2 serious with you. And he is pretty popular with other girls too. Not sure if he cheats or will he ever cheats also.

Which one you will pick ?

I don't know what to do. I want to go to a music school for beign a musician, I get people telling me to go for it, but what i'm afraid of is failure. How can I overcome this impending feeling. The reason I don't go for it is because I doubt myself, and doubt my abilities. Is this normal? I think i'm good, people tell me I sound good, I just don't know. Should I just forget about it, and do something else? This is really eating away at me.

Today when I went to the laundry mat, I was folding some of my clothes. I had a basket full. The rest of my clothes were dry but I didn't have any place to put them except on the folding table. I don't like to use the folding table because I'm afraid that there might be some communicable disease that will get on my clothes and then be passed on to me or my kids. So, I fold my clothes in the basket that I bring from home. The laundry mat was pretty busy. all of the dryers were in use. This lady came up to me and asked if the clothes in the dryer belonged to me. When I said yes, she asked if she could help me take them out so that she could use the dryer. I told her no and then explained that I didn't like to put them on the table. She said that she was in a hurry to pick her son up from school and that she noticed that I had been there for 45 minutes folding my clothes. I told her that I like to make sure that I get all the seams matching and stuff. dryer. this escalated into an argument where the manager told me that I couldn't come back because I tipped the trash can over on purpose. But, I was so upset that she was trying to impose her will on me. Thats why I kicked the trash can over. This is the only laundry mat in town. what can I do?

bill gates has peak pay/hr at a million times avg pay/hr - & has averaged over his career at 50,000 times av pay/hr
meanwhile the avg person works over 50 hrs/wk [i have seen figures on the net of over 90hrs/wk for american housewives, figures of 70 hrs/wk for british housewives - & the poorer the person, the harder they have to work just to survive - poorer means underpowered, so victim of the relative power of others, ie, they get stolen from, they have to slave [euphemisms: exploited, underprivileged]
& the hardest working person cannot do more than double this /wk
so can 'working very hard' justify no more than twice the average pay?
is this correct thinking?
is there a mistake in the reasoning anywhere?
when a person says: i worked hard for 'my' money, can we rightfully ask: what was your avg pay/hr? ie what is your fortune + spending, divided by workhrs?
what if 'his' pay/hr is 50,000 times avg? or 10x avg? hard work cannot justify higher than avg pay/hr - can anything?

I recently had a discussion in class regarding experiences that have led to a greater understanding of social justice and equality, and it has interested me to ask the question:

What sort of experiences have people had to develop a greater understanding of equality and social justice, that is where individuals and groups recieve fair treatment and a just share of the benefits of society. Any thoughts / experiences?

My dad has a Master's degree and is very bright. He is a devout Christian. He actually had the nerve to ask me the other day why, if I love him as much as I claim to, and have so much respect for him, why I don't want to be JUST LIKE HIM?! I told him I am not his clone and he told me not to state the obvious. I told him that I pick and choose the good parts and ignore the other parts and he seems to have a problem with that...lol! I am my own person and have no desire to be just like him. He has many faults in my personal opinion. (He tells people they're going to Hell for example and that they're not really Christians for another example, he fought for and got custody of my nephew in a nasty custody dispute and I don't think he fought fair for another example) My point is I think he is being unreasonable and arrogant to think I should want to be JUST LIKE HIM if I claim to love and respect him so much. BTW: I'm 33 years old...LOL!!

I met a girl online over a year ago & we quickly became good 'net friends,chatting for hours every day,then I learn(on 6-6-06 of all days) that she had been in a wreck & killed. Since then Ive had several vivid dreams about her. The 1st was a few days after I learned of her death; I dreamt I was at her funeral& just kept thinking how pretty she was, her face was sparkling as if it had glitter on it; then I'm suddenly in the morgue & shes now bald,I ask why & a man told me that her hair was ripped out in the accident - a few days later her mom calls me,simply because she found my # in her cell, we begin talking & she describes the accident to me without me even asking & Id said nothing about my dream! Part of which was that SHE had gone in the morgue&seen her with gravel pitted in her face/?the sparkles?/& part of her hair on 1 side HAD been ripped out in the accident! Could it be shes still communicating, or am I reading too much into it? Its frighting, Ive not had this happen before

A team of scientists claim to have proof that people are pre-disposed to crime based on a combination of genetic factors that cause a violent reaction in these individuals when they are triggered by outside factors. The machine will expose abnormalties, such as slow brain wave activity, with 75% accuracy so that we will be able to identify 75% of the people likely to commit a violent act in their lifetime.
