I sometimes wonder if the generally perceived as poorly educated, smelly people of the 1300s were good company, or rather awful to be with. And vice versa, are we nicer to be with than they were?

Would we find people who grew up without mirrors and without the culturally levelling effect of mass media freaky, or wonderful?

This is my first sexual fantasy. dream, and it feels so weird! I engaged in watching a young man get raped in a very kinky way. Now I keep repeating the scene where he gets constantly thrusted. I can't get it off my mind, and I am sure this is a horrid turning point. I still go to school, that's the worse problem..

Does anyone know how I can get rid of sexual emotion? O_O HELP!!!

I'm a very quiet person and get shy or self-conscious sometimes. But I don't want others to think I'm mean, stuck-up or disinterested. I want to be friendly towards others but I don't know if I'm succeeding. What types of things can I do to let others realize that I'm just shy and not unfriendly?

I have another personality, While I am smart, funny, sensitive, and nice. This other girl steals, cheats, doesn't listen, and is just plain NOT ME. She is the most prominent part of me, I as ME am almost never out there. See I started noticing her after my seizure in 3rd grade, I was wondering, is it normal for personalities to split like that after something as tragic as that was?

None of us come with instruction books, and our rules change over time, which is why our relationships often fail, or are not up to standards. If we all came with intstructions book, and handed them to our friends and families, life would be so much simpler. Just for fun write down a list of your rules, and don't forget to include the disclaimer "Warning rules may change at any time, with or without reason!"

Ok, I had this dream when I was much younger, back in elementary school. It starts off I'm in my grandmother's house, the living room, sitting in a cardboard box, I guess I'm playing or something. I look up onto a shelf to see this doll(I had a horrible fear of them back then, but that's beside the point). I keep thinking it's going to look at me, and it does. So I jump out of the box, run into the dining room, and find all the women in my family sitting at the table(my cousins, aunts, grandma, mother, and sister), and around them are a bunch of buff, tan, wearing only thongs, and dancing with giant human-sized bananas.

That's the end. Any thoughts?

I need to do an economics project on one, and I can't find any.

Oh, and she must study Asian economies. Not European or American or anything like that.

I'm so bored right now, guys...so I have an idea.
Tell me something that you have learned in life, it can be happy or sad, funny or serious. I am open to all things. Also be sure to leave your age and gender, so I can compare all of your anwers. And remember-it can be ANYTHING that you have learned!

I think she was. She (and every other person who claims to be self-sacrificng) are selfish. They give everything they have materially, so that they can feel good emotionally. But they don't admit it.

Anybody agree with me here?

If you don't know what it is, it is a welfare/taxation system wherein the government is in no way responsible for welfare and social services directly but instead allows for individuals to write everything off of their tax returns. It basically privatizes everything from education to disability services in to a competitive, non-bureaucratic free market and leaves all the spending up to the individual.

I myself am in a wheelchair and can not express how crappy government agencies are with providing things etc. what with all the red tape. Sometimes it'd just seem like it'd be easier for me to go out and buy what I need and somehow charge it on a magical government credit card.

So would a system like this work? I understand it leaves more room for tax fraud but that's nothin' good ol' coercion can't solve.

Do you know someone like that? and why do you think they do it?

I knew this guy who could not hold a conversation without criticizing whatever was being talked about. There was no way. I would bring up a topic and he would manage to criticize something from it.

If I said "I saw the show Cops" (he'd criticize police) If I said "I think I'm becoming a doctor" (he'd criticize the health system) If I said "let's watch X movie" (he would go on about censorship within it)

There was a point where I felt like crying just cause I didn't wanna kick the hell out of him LOL

I mean I'm not an idiot so I know there are many things wrong in the world, but come on, let's just live and let live ...

I was raised by my mom and aunts who were all, for the most part, feminists. As a result, I have an understanding of some of the women's movements. My wife, on the other hand, grew up very conservatively and is rather at odds with feminism. What would you tell her is so important about the Modern Feminist Movement and why it is something she should be concerned about?

I'm making a free online psychology course (with tests, assignments, lessons, quizzes, etc.) so that someone can get an introduction to psychology, the different schools of thought, abormal psychology, etc.

But I was wondering, what kind of things (such as topics explored), would you want to see in it?
