I think it is kind of a stereotype... but I believe it is a same question as asking, "why do the Germans seek the perfection?"

Please answer me :)

For some people it may be as easy as turning on the radio...I, however, lost my hearing 6 years ago. It feels like I have been in Deep Analysis ever since: distractions are hard to come by. I over think EVERYTHING and I'm getting on my own nerves! Exercise is the only time I'm able to kind of zone out, but there are only so many miles you can jog in a day :)

It's not that I'm a "worrier" and this is not an OCD thing, it's just a result of having significantly less input from outside sources now that I don't have my hearing (friends conversations-although they do sign and are getting better-, current events, the noisy world around me, etc). I "recycle" my thoughts and events that have happened to me to keep my mind occupied to the point of overanalyzing. I think so far past what I normally would have, I end up not being able to relate to "normal" thinkers. This is not something I'm interested in medication for, although it helps sometimes to drink a few beers and turn off!

I have read a few scientific studies that conclude women are more attracted to masculine guys (i.e. those with well-defined muscles, more masculine faces), when ovulating versus other times in their menstrual cycle. In the latter case, women are more attracted to guys who have a less masculine face and an average body shape, when not ovulating.

Ladies, have you noticed this change in the type of men you are attracted to during your own menstrual cycle? Please give examples, if you can.

This is purely an intellectual activity, to see if science reflects reality sometimes.

If so, what effect, if any, does that have on the content and modes of expression of your questions and answers? Do you self-censor at all and if so in what way? Do you believe that we should be engaging in any form of self-censorship here on Y!A? How about in the "real" world? Or are you one of those "just let it all hang out people" too proud to be anything less than what you really are? This is your chance here and now to "tell it like it is." So don't hang back and be a wallflower. Just dive in. The water's fine.

Why are people so against this? Everyone I meet has something rude to say to me about me working at my home and taking care of it so my better half and I can relax after work. We have enough money and I'm pursuing a dream, so what's the big deal? Why do people I hardly know think they can just mouth off about it to my face? Would people have had this problem even ten years ago? If the result of the women's movement is that people can tell you how you should live your life and think it has no worth if you stay at home and aren't lazy, then I think it's failed. What do you think?

I mean is you need a lot of time and effort to be committed with your true love. There are a lot of obstacles in front of you, such as it is not reciprocal for a short while, parents, peer pressure, et cetera. But, finally you realise that you both are destined to be together, after a lot of time and effort, sacrifice. Do you agree?

It seems there are more rich Democrats than rich Republicans because Democrats do receive the greatest revenue of political contributions from the rich. There must be a different mind-set developed from the source of their income. Is it "new money vs old money"? Is it "small business vs big busness?" is it "guilt over 'easy' money vs respect for 'hard earned' dollars?" Is it "working with hands" money vs "inside work, no heavy lifting" money? Is the wealth difference related to basic differences of Dem vs Rep such as ... Dem=use govt to level the extremes of life position and Rep=encourage personal effort to rise to higher life postition.

When people take your words, and try to make them their own?
are they complimenting you or dissmissing you when they want to pretend you never said the words first?

For example...

Even America's greatest president, Ronald Reagan, lost five House seats and eight Senate seats in his sixth year in office.

The sentence above assumes Ronald Regan is America's greatest president as though its a matter of fact and not a debatable point. I know there is a specific name for this type of fallacy. What is it?
