Social Science - 29 November 2006

There are theories of how Native Americans came to the New World, but new archeological evidence contests the Land Bridge theory. Also, I find it hard to believe that a whole 50% of the world was uninhabitated by man.

Has anyone done any DNA research to test where Native Americans came from and if they have different haplotypes that would disprove/prove the Land Bridge theory.

Another thing, the language is completely different and the style of living is different from other Asian peoples. I think that appearance is not a good indicator of origin because Vikings and Afghanis can be blonde and are not necessarily from the same group.

I had this conversation with one of the kids I work with once. He was 8 and I told him to always keep his fingernails clean so girls will like him and keep his house neat just in case he had surprise company. Then I told him to give me advice. He said, "always listen to what kids say."

That was two years ago and that bit of advice drives me on some days when work is so stressful. Sooooo, I want to try this again and hope to get more great advice....

Give me some good advice...about anything.

This is a sociobiology question; are there more known genetically derived drives or instincts in humans that directly bear on the ability to survive to reproduce?

Am I crazy because I talk to myself, make up different identities in real life, feel supierior in one of my other identities, like I can never die and I'm immortal and will live forever because I'm cursed and damned forever. I feel like dreams have a purpose in real life and that they are the meaning of life, and when we all figure out our dreams, we will have conquered life and can control and have the life we want.

Some lady offered to give me hypnosis to help me with my anxiety, but I turned her down because I was too scared...like what does it feel like when you're being hypnotized? does it just feel like you're asleep? does time go really fast like it does when you're asleep?

what about the whole process of being hypnotized - like how does it work that someone can just coax you into hypnosis? and what does it feel like when this is happening?

hypnosis, can you take XANAX to relax? will it still work?

I want to see if anyone has had hypnosis, I am VERY hard to relax and sleep... In fact, I have anxiety issues. I use medicine to sleep at night--- would hypnosis still work on someone if they took xanax?

I want to stop some bad behaviors and also, try to get more motivated in life. But, I know they won't be able to relax to where I need to be- i have way too much anxiety!

The so called uncaring Conservatives are more generous by a large percentage then the so called caring Liberals. That the most giving are the working poor and the very rich, leaving the middle class as the cheap skates. Red States tend to be more poor but give a higher percentage of their income then blue states.

What do you do when you feel alone, and everything in life seems to let you down. What do you do when you feel depressed, cry yourself to sleep and feel that no one cares. What do you do when you pray for healing every night, but it seems as though God just doesnt hear? And what about when you start to even lose faith, cause your whole life seems to be just one big mistake.

Anything totally awesome you'd buy, maybe something special.

I'd donate a large sum to charity
Buy a huge mansion-like house
Large sword collection
Elephant tusks at a doorway
Pool with diamond studs
Automatic closet
Ridiculously big screen TV (probably movie-theaterish)
Pay for the rest of my education and my families
Lamborghini Gallardo and Ford GT

Tons of other stuff, who knows!

Well first im madly depressed why:
I have exema and everyone is moving forward with life. My friends are moving so fast with their social life because they either are cute and short,big cheas,big but,pretty face. But to me i have none of those qualities my personality sucks and i dont dress the actual girly way. im not highly smart. I've never had a boyfriend.Is this because i refuse to be lyke everyone else or is it simply because of the way i look. At first i was sad because i didnt have a boyfriend and all my friends did and thy made me go everywhere with them and hang with them and their boyfriends. I started getting depressed and started thinking deeply about the way i look and act. But than i found out that i would end up hiding my exema from my boyfriend if i had one and that would just make life difficult. But i was told that i have low self-esteem but i simply refuse to set my self up for disapointment. Am i wrong about my self or am i a wyning gurl or a girl jealous

So, I have an original oratory for forensics. I'm doing a topic on friendship. The topic is friendship being taken for granted. I have the causes and I've gotten to the effects. I have a problem with finding those though. I know how it has effected me, however I really don't have the opinion of others, and I find myself unable to find an answer by searching online.

So, if you've had a friendship in which you were taken for granted, or perhaps just a bad friendship and general, how did it effect you?

And also, if you've even taken a friend for granted, whether or not you realized it at the time, what effect did it have on you?

If you could answer that, or even just provide your opinion on the subject, it would be greatly appreciated.

hey i just had a dream. it was about me, my absolute best friend and this guy who used to like me a lot, until i went out with his best friend. so anyhow my best friend and i went to the gym we had to pay and for some reason i forgot to change into my gym clothes and i was in jeans so we went outside. it was really weird because the backyard was part of my other friends dads old backyard but we were at my friend teigans house.... yah and then the guy who liked me just showed up. for some reason he took this patio table and pushed it into a really nice pool. then the table was back in place again and i was standing on it, then he pushed it in with me on it and i had this hole in my wrist that was litteraly shooting out blood.. that was a mixutre of red and yellow... and my best friend started freaking out but the guy that liked me wasn't even paying attention.... this dream confuses me, it jumps around a lot but do you know what it means?
