Social Science - 12 December 2006

I've recently read that the Netherlands are on their way to legalize Euthanasia for the severely Depressed and Lonely (ex. men and women who cant get girlfriends/boyfriends, involuntary celibates, permanent virgins, senescent folks). The requirement will be proof of the intolerability of the patients life and that the patient has no chance of bettering by way of psychological examination.

This is great news and hope for people like myself who, as a 23 year old American male virgin at an intolerable 5'5", would like nothing more than to go to my local Dr., and obtain a prescription for a drug that will finally put me to a peaceful death.

I know that there are a lot of critics of Euthanasia - I've heard it all. But, a person's life belongs only to that particular person - he/she should have the right to relinquish it.

Euthanasia of this kind will be available to the American public in the future. What are your thoughts? Should people be forced to suffer through life?

Mothers often have a hard balancing act to manage...Wife, caregiver to children, Tutoring, chores...Sometimes it can seem overwhelming. I'm s a single mother but I made a point to start taking out time for myself to be a better caregiver, and refreshed. I love my children and I realize how can I take care of them without taking care of myself as well. How do you make time for yourself?

I have a big birthday coming up and, as we all do, I am reflecting on my life. Overall I have been lucky -- arguably more successes versus losses, but I can't help but focus on the losses. I am so angry at myself for some of the choices I have made, that I can't let it go and move on. It's debilitating, this sense of fury, I want to be able to focus on celebrating and planning the next stage of my life, but I can't. How can I forgive and forget myself, or at least move on?

I have it all my life but I didn't know about it until my 2nd year of college. But now that I look back I think my ADD was productive instead of disruptive. If it weren't for my overactive mind I wouldn't have done the many things I have:

Latch hook
Scrap booking
Learning Japanese
Learning to play the guitar and later the flute
Painting/drawing

The list could go on...granted I didn't finish most of the things but I did stay interested for at the least 6 months.

So am I just a busy body or is my ADD helping become a jack of all trades?

Do you believe you can block out things from your past if they are traumatic, but be unaware you are doing this?

For e.g. I had a terrible childhood, but I cant remember it but i know it happened from what people told me. I can only remember from age 6 and up. Could i be blocking this out? Will i ever be able to remember?

I remeber being new in High School(i moved a lot so this was an often thing:) at lunch and watching all the groups. As in the jocks, the popular rich kids,the rednecks,the weird nerds,the normal nerds(theres a difference), And of course the "gangsters". Why do people find it necessary to find a group and just stay there and change themselves to fit in. Its beginning to seem like individuality is fading in america. Now that I'm out I am still noticing this among my peers. Whats the deal?

A woman I know constantly tells me what a "hard time" she had, and that she was having a "crisis" at the time. Recently, another woman told her that they had just turned 40, and her question was "How did you handle it?"

If you are told that you think too much. Is this a bad thing?

If your thinking is not blowing things out of proportion, clouding your judgement,making mountains out of molehills, or creating imaginary anxieties, when or why is it wrong to think too much?
