He believes that children at a young age develop an insestuous love for their mother/father and thinks about killing the opposite gender. And that everything relates to sex.

He is one sick pervert! I know he's dead now but still. His incest children theory is the sickest.

I have a masturbation/porn addiction and have been trying desperately to be free from it. I have tried filters, therapy and recently installed Internet accountability program to be accountable of my web activity.
Before I had mb/porn addiction, I was suffering from severe depression. Being naive about depression, I thought I was supposed to overcome it with pure willpower. It only made things worse.
I desperately needed to find an escape route from enormous pains caused by severe depression. I didn't want to turn to drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sex cuz I knew they were wrong and destroy people's lives. I tried sports, activities, reading, riding bicycle but those only made me feel better temporarily and didn't fix my severe depression.
Then I found Internet porn which I thought of as nothing more than a guy thing. Since then, I have been self-medicating with porn whenever I am stressed/depressed. In another words, I became addicted.
Can anyone familiar with my problem offer me advice?

We past by a dead guys house where they were searching through his stuff. He had a collapsable boat and such. We asked for some nails or something, and a man with a mustache said something about stepping on a nickle. He handed us a power bait jar and to my surprise it had a small snake in it that was the cause of the mans death. The power bait jar had a hole in it, and the snake would stick it’s head through the hole. It was so small that it looked more like a worm than a snake. It was supposedly called a nail head, and it was dead. The man whom it bit, had grabbed it and stuffed it into the jar seconds before his death. The man died long ago, and the snake had killed itself by biting itself on the tail (which was scored) to end it’s imprisonment. It had killed itself, but somehow it came back to life. Then my friend and I were running behind my sister who was on a dirt bike. I mentioned something about wishing we were skiing . In that part of the dream there was no snow........

Lets say that your a doctor and your brother is terminal and nothing can be done to save him, if left alone to die it would be very long and painfull, would you give him an over dose of morphine in his sleep so he dies peacfully.

I have a degree in Business Management/Marketing, but hate sitting in an office all day. I also sold media. The job was very lucrative and I functioned well in that capacity, however it was to much pressure and I was never home (family is important to me.) I went to school for teaching, but after a year I decided that the job market and salary would not meet my needs. I am very artistic. I love to draw, read, write, decorate my home and bake. I enjoy helping and taking care of others when they are sick or listening when they need advice. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and although I know nothing about automobiles, I have no problem opening up the hood and trying to figure out what is going on (my husband does not appreciate this). I really like to garden and plant flowers. I get bored easily and enjoy variety. Unfortunately, most of the jobs that I would like do not pay very well. Most people do not understand why I would rather make $5/hr deliveri

According to all of the so-called prefesionals depression is a chemical embalance that can be correted with the right medication, not a feeling of circumstance that you can just snap out of.

Well i was in an accedent in Aug. where i broke 14 bones in the left side of my body. I was laying in a hospital for a total of 5 weeks and couldn't walk around til just a week ago(still need a walker)... The second week in the hospital a psychiatrist came to my room to put me on zolof even though i wasn't irrationally depressed... i was ticked off because i 1) couldn't talk - so how could she tell i was depressed, 2) when the nurses would change my sheets they would constintly role me on to my left side which had those 14 broken bones plus chuncks of muscle torn out of my leg and skin graphs on the leg and arm - i think i had a reason to be upset by way of extreme pain

ill write more in the aditional details...

That explains why most men are the 'strong silent type'. or they are more uncommunicative than their female counterparts.

Is this true ? Was there scientific studies to back up the claim ?

remembering the right letters for spoken words, or remembering the right names for things?

The person I'm speaking of has a problem with acronyms like VCR or DVD (they will call it VCV or DVC or VRC...).

She also has problems with names like restaurant names (the restaurant will be called "el palacio" but she constantly calls it by every other mexican restaurant name imaginable).

It seems vaguely like dislexia, but not quite the same... Is there a name for this problem? And if so, is there a way to treat it or make it more managable?

Some one tells you something that you don't know, then you see it everywhere the next day. Last night, I was waiting for my friends to get out of the theater. I was smoking in front of a toy store in Tucson called "Mrs. Tiggy Winkles." I had never heard of her before. Today, on Yahoo answers, some one asked "what kind of animal is Mrs Tiggy Winkles?" This, from my staindpoint is a very obscure reference. What do you call this kind of coincidence?

Do you prefer someone with street smarts or book smarts? Do you prefer to date college educated or does it matter? What about yourself? Are you college educated and expect the same? Was it much of a deciding factor when you met him? Feel free to go into detail.....

for about a month i have been on a product called st johns wort. i take 2 in the morning. sometimes one in the evening around 4 or 5 if i think this may be more of a highly charged day. for some of us we can self talk our way into feeling better. for people like me i have to fight to self talk myself. it shouldnt be that hard. sometimes the stress wins over all the self talk and we crash. now i by no mean am i trying to shove a pill down all your throats. this is coming from someone who has lived enough to know that some things are out of our control sometimes. like our minds.
i came to a point in my life where i couldnt afford the medication that helped me. so for a while me and my mind have been at war. then recently i heard of an herbal extract called st. johns wort. i was like right, how can a vitamin make me feel better.well it did. right away. it quieted my mind down totally. i can go with the flow now when before i would have been uncomfortable. try it. ill bet youll like it

Or put it another way if a man successfully proves he did not rape his accuser, should she be tried in court and what sentence should it carry if found guilty?

Anyone in Canada knows the details of study required to become a Child Psychologist in Ontario, Canada, in terms of what specific qualifications need to get? If any information or pointers, in whatever details, is so much appreciated. The reason I ask is I am looking at BA(4-year) Child & Youth Care program at Ryerson Unviersity, and thinking of doing Master Degree after that, then PhD. I want to avoid the BA of Psychology program in whatever university, as the program usually is just theoretical for 4 years, without any internship or hands-on practice. So I'm not sure if BA in CYC can allow me to move on to become a Child Psychologist eventually. Have asked Universities, but can't get advice much from them.
