Any suggestion to the effect that your hand phone is not real, or the person you talked to via the phone is imaginary, would sound lunatic.
Nevertheless, if you ask how the hand phones work, you will hear things like photons leaving your phone and arriving at your phone – whether these photons are real things or some stuff imagined by scientists in order to explain what is going on, is an open question.

can anyone explain some of the issues and define realism as stated in the above example? thanks

All you would have to do would be to have sex with another Chick in front of him? She has no STD's and you won't get hurt. What if everytime you said no he'd add $2,000, How high would you go before you said yes?

Is that why they also feel that they can take away a life by having an abortion? Maybe all this freedom that we have given Chicks has gone to their heads and they feel invincible, that's why they think that since they can give life, they can destroy it.

It takes me a very long time to get myself to feel comfortable with someone 'new', and it takes me so long that the word 'new' would sound like he or she was my 'old' friend, and this applies to employer, stranger, my housemate!, and romantic relationships. While talking with them, i feel like i can't say full sentances, and i jump from topic to topic, and then i walk out of the conversation calling myself an idiot, cuz of how i handled the conversation. Any advice on what i should do to make myself talk the way i would normally talk?

Whenever someone makes me upset, everything speeds up and i end up walking away not saying anything and then always wondering what if. I can never think of any to say to them in the moment. I do not want to be like this for the rest of my life, what can I do to make myself more aggressive in terms of "not taking sh*t from others"?

In this culture today, is femininity confined to the female gender role, and is this what makes a woman? What about feminine gay men? Or 'butch' homosexual women?

What do you think?

I met a man about 1 month ago. He is one of the smartest men I have ever met. He is professional (accounter) and he is single. I am not going to explain the way i met him but the short story is that it wasn't intentional at all (we didn't mean to meet each other). At the beggining, he didn't seem to be very motivated to talk to me, but then, when he saw me, he changed his attitute. I am pretty sure , he was attracted to me Physically. Besides the fact that I know he knows I am smart, I guess that's all I have to impress him together with my physical appareance (not to much to impress an intelectual and smart man). I am feeling very insecure every time we talk, because He has a wide of knowledge of almost any thing. I know pretty much nothing. I only have my 12 grade. He keep telling me he feel very comfortable talking to me and that he likes my ways. I feel very inferior when we talk to the point that it's affecting my self esteem. My question is below

Lets say your large tribe has a religion that served u well 4 a thousand years, through the coming and going of an empire and small wars and such, and assume your religion has some pretty tight social specifics. Everyone in your tribe moves along pretty much in the same direction, because part of the religion deals with how to goverern yourselves.
There other groups on your planet who have several different religions, but all these are being pretty much taken over and modified by an economic practice which from all outter appearances causes people to act in a way your religion warns is extremely dangerous to peoples spiritual health. The economic system breaks up families and causes many young people to go unsupervised and in the end there is evidence of severe decadence.
Now suppose this group and their type of government are inserting their economic and governing system into your tribe and you are sure it is going to corrupt all you hold dear. How u gonna act?? I am not Muslim

I seem to have the same recurring dream that I am trying to escape from war planes which are dropping bombs. I am terrified in these dreams and wake up still shaking. My dreams always seem to have me 'escaping' from something or someone.

Why do people love to have a victim? Let's face it, all throughout history, societies have designated scapegoats to take the blame for their sins. The ancient romans buried randomly selected people for good luck to the gods. If you've read the short story The Lottery by Shirley JAckson, you'll know what im talking about. But even if u haven't read the book or the short story, why do u think everyone loves a victim?

It's interesting, the realization of the negativity of all the ?'s i've asked. Oh well, guess it helps being honest. Anyway, what I mean is i feel trapped, i took employment feeling work service was dumping me, seeing how they couldn't help. I've felt as much as my schizoid/dysthymia/anxiety probably means i need therapy, that given the dozen i've been to, it's just not worth hearing the same answers that haven't worked. Like it's an 80-20 rule (give the advice that'll help 80% of patients, for nothing can help the 20). While I'm not actively suicidal, i have at least begun work on creating a personal dvd explaination in case) .. now this might just be another of my long standing ideation issues, but i guess i just can't figure how to find a way out, or a way to find any interest in anything in life (yes, tried meds, talk, etc without effectiveness, hence the frustration). Sorry, perhaps i'm just trying to feel negative for it's all i can feel ... just thankful i'm not into drugs
