Need to help a 29 yo male with sever Oedipus complex personality disorder: relates to females as mother love, sleeps with them but no sex. likes to cuddle and be waited on, excessive verbal communication with females. He is bi-sexual, has gay sex with older men (he likes to receive oral sex for money), doesn't establish any longer-term relationship with women or men. He suddenly disappears and ends a starting relation by running away, ceasing all communication. He is otherwise a handsum, smart, cordial young man. Women fall in love with him, but then are disappointed when no return love, no sex, and disappears after living with them for 6 months to a year. Need help reaching him, helping him understand his Oedipus complex. Any suggestions?

One is called "Buy Nothing Christmas" and is at www.buynothingchristmas.org and the other is "Christmas Resistance". How large and significant are these two movements and how much of an impact do they have?

research has shown that attractive faces do not correlate to health... so why did good looking people emerge in our genome? why don't we all just look different? why is there "hot" and "ugly" ? and why do people have a weakness for hot if it signals no health advantage? this is a highly theoretical evolutionary biology question so i don't expect simple answers.... just curious if anyone can think through this (as unlikely as it is on here...)

Researchers are still debating this (at harvard, nonetheless) and i am just curious what non-researchers think.

I CHATTED MY ONE BOSS (MARK) ABOUT THIS LAZY GUY "RENE"
I TOLD HIM OF HIS 60 OR 90 MIN LUNCHES
AND HOW A FEW TIMES HE WAS GONE OVER 2 HOURS
I TELL MARK ALL THIS AND HE SEZ ALL THIS OFFICE BS OF "RENE FEELS A COMFORT LEVEL THAT IS NOT THERE" AND HE AND THEY WILL HANDLE IT
BUT THAT IS NOT MY QUESTION

OKAY THOSE 4 OR 6 WEEKS AGO
I ALSO SAID "RENE IS PROVIDING ME WITH A SEXUALY CHARGED WORK ENVIRONMENT"
RENE USES THE SPANISH WORD "PEN NO CHE" ABOUT MANY OF THE WOMEN BEHIND THEIR BACKS
MARK SAID
"BY SAYING THAT BY LAW WE HAVE TO NOW INVESTIGATE"
HE ASKED SOME DETAILS AND SAID "LET ME GET THRU THIS DAY AND WE WILL HANDLE THIS"
THE NEXT DAY I TOLD MY BOSS (MARLENE)
SHE ASKED A FEW QUESTIONS AND BASICAlLY SAID

"LET ME GET WITH MARK BECAUSE, HE IS OFF"

"YOU ARE OFF TUES AND WED AND WE OR I WILL GET WITH YOU ON THURS"
THIS THURSDAY MEETING NEVER HAPPENED
AND IT HAS BEEN 5+ WEEKS AGO
DON'T THEY LEGALLY HAVE TO GET MY FULL STORY?
HOW CAN THEY BLOW ME OFF???

I'm interested in starting a microfinance oriented club at my highschool. I'd like to know if this is a good idea. Basically it would work by collecting donations and lending the money out. I know about Kiva.org so far and the Grameen Bank. Thanks.

I was reading in a little known book where a small jewish boy took some clay and formed two sparrows, and then breathed life into them and they flew away. Is that magic or a miracle. And if you belive in it either way, magic or miracle, do you believe in the little boy. His name is Jesus

There are people that say magic and spells are based on psychology; they don't truly work unless u believe that they do, and have no doubt. Has anyone ever done spells before? Do they really work? I tried putting all my faith in it... but i guess i had some doubt?????

I have difficulty with very simple math problems aswell as complex math problems. It takes a few moments for me to read the time. Even counting loose change in a shop can be a battle.
