Social Science - 13 December 2006

...during my life? A lot of men seem to go through the following stages: being childish (obviously), then an uneloquent, grunting adolescent.....then a hard-partying or hard-working man (till about 40-50)....then a strict Dad type...or softy Dad.....then a wise old man.

Women are childish (slightly less so?!), then goody two shoes or nasty lil sluts :-D....then young adults who treat like as something that will never end; diving into the deep end of pregnancy.....then reality kicks in, they age a lot, quickly,...become wise old mothers.....anyway, you get the idea. I was childish till about 12....and I don't seem to have changed all that much - haven't become more, or less, fun-loving, have never been the grunty type....basically I just grew up and stuck. This isn't a very precise question I know - but can I expect to change much?!

I'm trying to find out how much people receive as unemployment benefit in different countries. So, if you don't mind posting your country and amount, that would be great.

and Why?
I think I am happiest when I am putting the key into my front door returning home from work. I feel this is when my day begins.

I get sad when my birthday or christmas (which dreadingly is just around the corner) comes up each year. I dont like to celebrate these times. I even planned suicide on my last birthday to have the whole 28-5-87 to 28-05-06. I was deep in depression then and have since got help. But my question is does anyone else get sad when they are suppose to be happy and celebrating? Do you know why?

of unborn baby human beings? For those of you who are unfamiliar with the story "Charlotte's Web", the premise is that a runt piglet (Wilbur) is saved by the farmer's daughter from being "done away with" because he is a runt. But, he is still going to be slaughtered later when he gets big enough. A spider named Charlotte tries to save Wilbur by weaving webs with different messages to make people take notice of the pig and think that he's special. The first message she weaves says "Some Pig". It's a very touching movie and quite a tear-jerker with most people, I think.

So, again, my question is as above. Would a sign with the message "Some Baby" make anyone think twice about abortion? If not, why does a fictional pig illicit sympathy, yet an unborn human being does not?

How much do you really know your parents, your friends, that lover, what anyone is capable of? Here is a poem I wrote on tagged.com to answer my question to myself about someone I thought I knew:

When can I see truthfulness in his words after this? I have forgiven because my Heavenly Father above says I have to. But I haven't forgotten. How do you deal? How do you Heal? When all you thought and knew before, was never even Real. I never believed I would see him in that light..Mom was Right. Never had I Imagined, that the doubt would be back again. Maybe it will take some time, for me to hear his voice. I have made a decision to let me heal, I have made my choice. See yourself as you will my friends. Will you ever find another person under one's skin? Will you heal in the end? Maybe I will see sooner than not. The change in the road that broke my heart.

when you reach 100% which is on the far right of the curve it is said that all of people's earnings would go to the government but it seems as the further right you go on the curve the governments tax revenue gets lower

The media seems to focus on the shallow, screwed up lives of young women in Hollywood and there seems to be few (if any) strong female role models. Can you name one that inspires you? The few strong women are characterized as bitches and most young women seem to be more concerned about getting drunk, high, married and pregnant (all in varying orders) instead of making a true impact on the planet. Perhaps being married and pregnant is a viable option but have women given up the choices that so many fought for them to have?

Please help!!!! I wanna know what the disease is called when you do things that you dont wanna do even if they affect you. The thing is I have a cousin that has some kind of shoplifting disorder, has gone to jail a few times for the same reason but she keeps doing it ( she usually shoplifts little things... not really valuable things. She is on some kind of anti-depressant and has to take some pills to sleep. She was caught shoplifting today and I am wondering if it can be used against her. PLEASE HELP... you can give websites or any sources of info.... I'd appreciate it!!

I pretty much get treated like trash every day while I am at work. From the moment I start till we are walking to our vehicles, I am the focal point of all the harassing jokes. I am the youngest guy on the crew and I realize everybody goes through it, but today I was threaten to get "my *** beaten" for something I didn't do. Seems like I am never in the right........

O.k so I've been taking antidepressants since May, and I'm feeling much better. I'm making friends, I laugh all the time, I just generally feel good. So if I ever get off the meds will I just go back to being depressed? I hate feeling like I depend on a pill to make me happy, my life was really bad before because i missed my friends after I moved alot AND at the saem time my parents were going through what a professional physcologist said "Was definetly the worst case" he ever saw. Now my life is alot better becuase things have settled down with my parents, and I've made new friends, But will I ever really get better?
