I see alot of this every day and I just want to know what your opinion is on religion. In schools? At work? In public? In private? If you are religious does your attitude change toward it as you switch environments?

I'm looking for serious answers here. Nothing along the lines of "duh" or "of course".

I'm just wondering, because I haven't been able to find a woman who thinks that it's important for a man to live his life with integrity. Most women that I know think that it's great when a man is unfaithful, lazy, bullying, and dishonest in general. They view him as being a "bad boy" who has "edge" and is a "challenge".

On the other hand, a man who is confident, mentally and physically healthy, a community leader, intelligent, romantic, honest, and would be a devoted husband and father, is seen as "boring" and "too nice".

Why is this? Do these women have low self-esteem and think that they don't deserve better . . . or, do men of integrity have to start being losers in order for women to appreciate them?

I look forward to your intelligent and well-thought-out answers.

I am doing a project for school with another student, and we believe we want to take a thesis concerning how society perceives music. We have to write a report and do some action research. Since this topic idea is way to broad, do you have any suggestions for shortening it or areas that would benefical to research. I have no idea really where to start and am unsure how I should balance the scientific and social aspects of researching, and which I should center the project around. I thank you for any ideas

Please do not copy/paste from wikipedia, I've already looked there but still didn't really understand it completely.

Isn't it amazing how strong women truly are emotionally? Women can easily sacrifice their physical desires for the ones they love and are okay with it as long as they have complete loyalty from their husbands. Men, on the other hand, usually have a difficult time rising above their shallow natures and will give in to lusting physical beauty regardless of the love they have for their wife. Why is that?

What is it about women that makes them emotionally stronger in this sense?

I am having a terrible time coping about a guy I was with for a year and half. When we were together he told me he wanted to commit suicide. It was an ongoing issue so I recommended he talk to a professional but he wanted to talk to only me. I tried my hardest to help him. Come to find out he kept a secret that he had a child he never met w/ a one night stand before we met. I helped him come to terms with it and when he finally met the child he ended our relaionship to pursue one with the mother of his child. I found all this out when I was in the hospital this past summer. I was pretty ill and the response I got was never to call him again. And there after he manipulated me into thinking I aided into him going back to the mother because I told him he should be a part of his child's life. They are not together anymore. But I am having an awful time dealing with how he treated me after I helped him with the serious threats of suicide. Ironically I am seeking prof. help b/ of this:(

I mean like when I like went to school. Girls were like far out so much like smarter then the boys but it seems that when they get "settled" down they loose the ability to reason. Is it because wearing a diamond ring causes braindamage.

I have many recurring dreams that I think I have figured out but 2 of them, Im not sure I understand. If I dream Im near water, if I look at the water, a tidal wave will come... if I dream I see an airplane, and I look at it.. it crashes. These have been dreams Ive had since childhood (Im 30) so I dont think it has to do with recent disasters... anyone have any ideas?

My first, tho’ water, cures no thirst,
My next alone has soul,
And when he lives upon my first,
He then is called my whole.

I feel I have a purpose for my life yet I can't think of what that task or job could be. How did you discover your role in your life that, ultimately, made you a happy person?

It seems that you cannot please people when it comes to Christmas. I work in a small retail store that sells fine jewelry and gifts as well as accessories. Lately we have been getting Christmas returns. The store policy is exchanges only. It just seems that people cannot be pleased with the gifts they receive. I could understand if they got clothes that didn't fit but be happy with your gift. If I get something I don't like I politely smile and say thank you. I would never think of saying "It's not me, can I have the receipt". Some people really go out of their way to try make people happy and can't. I am not a religious person but Christmas has just turned ito this commercial fiasco where people run around trying to please people with expensive gifts that they end up hating anyway.

My dreams are like heaven, I get what I want and I'm always happy. I love it when I can remember my dreams. Sometimes, though, I know that I'm asleep, and I can decide what I want in my dream. I can make myself emperor or I can just kick back. I love that feeling, but how can I make that happen every night? It is a magical thing, and harnessing its power would be even more magical. So can you help?

If so, don't you think they may resort to other means of sexual abuse? Is it physical or pscychological?

This happens even if you're not close to the person. I've also wondered if this occurs among women who interact online, solely. I have a couple online buddies that I've chatted with online for years, and it seems that this has happened with us.

Coincidence?
