Social Science - 6 December 2006

I read a study into the primitive desires in heterosexual relationships. A male looks for a healthy attractive female, as he is after a female who is capable of giving birth to a healthy child. The female is looking for a male who is powerful and relates well to other males - the primitive forces here are that the male needs to protect the female and baby from predators etc.

Given the above, what primitive instincts are in place when a homosexual male looks for another male? Also, what about a bisexual male who looks for either men or women?

This is not a homophobically intended question. Any answers preaching religion or homophobia/biphobia are not welcome.

I've am such a huge procrastinator with everything I do. But in high school it is really starting to affect my grades. I don't read until when the project is due, and I don't write essays until the night before. Any advice?

Mostly everyone I know, including myself cannot obtain employment. Without doubt it seems apparent that the more expertise you have, the more unemployable you become, owing to the salary you would request.
Other than this, they will send you on an endless round of job placements (no pay), work experience programs (no pay), and lastly if you do manage to find a door open, you find that you than encounter servile wages...What is really going on I wonder?

Many times when I am alone I talk out loud about my thoughts. It has never bothered me because it does help me to process what I am thinking about. Some say this is crazy ... not me

No wheels, No college degree, A limited wardrobe, and a record? Is America so against rehabilitation that No One Man trying to turn around may do so without living in poverty? I'm far from crying..But feel as if options are few and far between. Exile sounds familliar. It seems as though I have not one good chance left. I'm close to getting my license straight, but no work. I'm trying my best not to give up..and the last thing I want is to milk charity, or end up holding a sign by an on ramp. I'm able bodied, able minded last time I checked, and in a rut. Positive answers please.

For example if someone is thinking of a certain person that they haven't seen in a while and thay see them not to long after they really think about them. I have really thought about seeing some1 and they were there so i'm wondering if there's more to humans that meets the eyes.

Lower unemployment and lower inflation can best be achieved with:
A) A rightward shift of the Phillips curve
B) A rightward shift of the aggregate supply curve
C) A rightward shift of the aggregate demand curve
D) None of the above.

I am leaning towards A because the Phillips curve involves both of the things. I am just not sure it would shift right.

Okay, here it is...KEEP IN MIND, MY DAD ASKED ME THIS! And, if you really think deep in your head, it's not so stupid, it is a thoughtful question. How do blind people know when they are done wiping their behinds after doing a #2?

Answers like "you can't" only show lack of imagination and knowledge.

The problem: I don't want much in life. I figured I can really do wonders when I want something and go for it. Like, I'm an A+ student in a college, got a black belt in taekwondo in under 3 years just because was really interested in it. Yet these are rare cases, and since I don't want much, I don't do much. I seem to have what I need, I rarely go outside my comfort zone, since I feel there's no need to do that, and I don't want to create stress in my life. I seem to make it written all over my mind that challenge=fight against something, so I don't like it. I actually think that this could be a part of the problem but I also know that there's more to it.

From analyzing myself, I've come to a conclusion that I don't really care for things if they're outside of my interest zone. But I go through like a bulldozer if it's something I like.

Who are you -- to answer anything I might ask?
Yes, you, who are you?
[[[[[As of me, who am I to ask you who you are, and if you know who you are, what serves as the foundation of your identity cognition, is it pure logic inference? Is it concrete, almost mathematical derivatives?
And, if you have any concrete answers, tell me why you do not ask yourself why mankind does not reduce its population to 20% of its actual number, even if it means that YOU would be one of those of the billions comitted to be disposed of.
And, blah, blah, blah...(ad infinitum)]]]]]
