Is it natural for humans to want to find one mate for life, or is it natural for humans to not be able to commit to one person for life? Are we going against nature by getting married and forcing ourselves to only be attracted to one person for the rest of our lives? If getting married and settling down with one person was not the societal norm, would we still naturally gravitate toward monogamy, or would we naturally gravitate toward polygamy?

As I browse these pages, I'll come across answers I find particularly interesting, provocatively well written, or just too darn funny, etc. I find myself clicking on their avatar and browsing through their answers on other subjects, or examaining the kinds of questions they ask. I know I'm just following the whim of curiosity, yet I feel somewhat naughty, as though I'm spying!

A good night, the best in a long time
A new friend turned me on to an old favorite
Nothing better than a dealer whos high
Be high, convince them to buy

Whats my drug of choice?
Well, what have you got?
I dont go broke
And I do it a lot

Seems so sick to the hypocrite norm
Running their boring drills
But we are an elite race of our own
The stoners, junkies, and freaks

Are you happy? I am, man.
Content and fully aware
Money, status, nothing to me
cause your life is empty and bare

You cant understand a users mind
But try, with your books and degrees
If you let yourself go and opened your mind
Ill bet youd be doing like me
And it aint so bad

Say, I do it a lot!
Say, I do it a lot!
Say, I do it a lot!
Say, I do it a lot!

Especially giant armored robosuits with human pilots. Seems like a psychological thing going on there. Feelings of inadequacy? Their loss to the 'giant' Americans in the war and the need to feel big and powerful? Or maybe nothimg, just a fad in anime. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the Japanese or their culture; all men are brothers. I was just reminded of this question, which has occured to me before, when watching 'Appleseed' on TV...

Answers can be for both mentally and physically making oneself do something he/she doesn't want to do.
For example, I do not want to finish this research essay thats due in 3 weeks and I do not want to procrastinate, BUT how do I make myself start now?? I do not want to even think about it.

Ok, there is a close family member of mine that has moved out of there spouses house because of ex problems because a kid is involved. The whole time he has been gone all he does is worry about her and what she is doing so much he has anxiety now, which has led to deep depression. All day he throws up and constantly talks about her every minute of the day. He can't sleep because of constant worry and is scared of breaking up with her so much that he is suicidal and i have to hide his guns from him and babysit him every night to where i lose sleep over it because of what he might do to himself. He says if they split up he will do harm to her and if he cant live at her house no one can and wont do anything at all but worry about going back to her house. He Blames all of his depression and anxiety on her and says its her fault because she made him this way, in which my opinion is he did it to himself because he didnt have to worry as much as he did about it. What would this be considered?

I think it's funny. I am pretty sure that people go up against eachother for points for best answer by giving everyone else who answered the same question a thumbs down. Cause I noticed that sometime when I answer with a really neutral response, I will still get a thumbs down along with everyone else who left an answer. Anyway, no biggie. Just an observation.

I feel like I don't deserve to have money spent on me, I don't deserve to eat and I feel guilty when I spend money or eat. I feel that I don't deserve the best guy for me, that someone else deserves him more than me. I feel that I don't deserve to have people want to be my friend or love/care about me. What's wrong with me? How do I get over these constant feelings?

I am 17 and still in highschool, all of my friends are boys and I would like to have more friends that are girls. My school is very small and there arn't many girls to choose from for friends or girlfriends. I've been told that I am attractive and I can see that girls are interested in me, but I have trouble keeping them interested because I have trouble thinking of things to talk about with them. I also can't find a girl that shares my sense of humour, my other friends think I am hilarious, and it's not that I a jackass sense of humour that girls wouldn't be interested in. I'm also very shy so this adds to the problem (alcohol has helped with this but I don't want to have to resort to that all the time).

Any suggestions?

The number of people in this country alone that suffer from one or both of these conditions is unreal. What does that tell us as a society that we need to do? So far the only answer is multiple trips to the pharmacy to get medication. How much does that truly help? Aren't we just "covering up" the problem, instead of finding a way as a country to change this problem? You see anxiety in people everywhere you go anymore, from the roads (road rage), to mothers killing thier children. When do we say enough is enough, this is a real issue in this country and we need to do something about it?

Can malnutrition in early teens make you less intelligent when you grow up? could effect your IQ significantly? how many IQ points do you think malnourishment as a teen could make you loose in the long run?

I know this is a complicated and perhaps boring question for some of you, but any answers could really help me, even if it's just a guess, thanks.
