Social Science - 4 January 2007

I have anxiety and depression.I didn't know that until I went to a doctor that told me that I had post tramatic stress.We were in Katrina in Miss.We now live in a place so far removed from there its like outer space to me.I try hard and think positive and take medicine but no matter how hard I try I feel that Im not long for here.I feel ok somedays and others I just am so tired and anxious about my life.Its hard to get excited about anything because I can't see past the next minute .For some reason I feel im at the end.I can't seem to shake that feeling,no reason to plan or to do because i wont be here..I can't get excited about anything because I feel its null and void..I just wondering anyone else ever feel this..it would be nice to know im not alone..

I had a very errie happing a few days ago.
New Years Eve I was driving down the interstate and stopped for gas at weigels station alongside the interstate. While I was it that weigels station I had a bad feeling while I was pumping my gas. I was very glad to get out of there but I didn't know why? I had stopped at this station hundreds of times?
About 6 hours later I found out from my parents that one of my good friend's dad had got run over at this same exit while trying to flag down some one due to car trouble. (He was the first death of 2007 in my county)
He got killed in the exact area that I felt anxious about.

What could have caused me to almost know something bad was going to happen here before it happened?

This isn't about the religious interpretation of "free will" but about what science/psychology says about it, so please don't cite biblical scripture. Thanks.

I see free will as the ability we sometimes have to step back from a situation & evaluate it logically, rather than emotionally or instinctively. It's like an on/off switch that we "throw" in one direction or another in order to gain intellectual control over a problem we might otherwise react to emotionally. I don't think it's 100% in our control, however. The "free will" switch appears to be harder for certain people to throw in certain situations.

For example, in societies like the USA where people are constantly tempted by fattening food, there are more fat people. Apparently those who have a harder time losing weight have a "heavier" eating switch than thin people. In societies with healthier foods, people are thinner because they don't have to use their "eating" switch as often.

What does science have to say about this?

I am struggling to decide which girl I am going to marry...

Fantassia is a girl that has many similiar interests as me and she is a very beautiful girl. The problem with her is that she flirts with many guys and she has an anger problem and is very narccisstic.

Rachel is a girl that has good values, patient, a virgin, and a very beautiful girl. The problem with her is that she has very few similiar interests as me and lives very far away.

Who should I marry and please give me a practical answer. Thank you very much.

I'm not an American so i'm quite confused with the real meaning of Hispanics.Some people suggested that Hispanics are simply a bunch of Spanish-decended people either full-blooded or mix.Some people also think that Hispanics are people who speaks in Spanish as their mother tongue no matter what their racial status are.Some people even believe that Hispanics is like a new type of mix race which is usually considered by many as a mix of Spanish and South American Indian(native).What do you guys think?

why am I all of a sudden scared of things that I wasnt scared of a year ago.. example: I was driving to work at another site about 40 miles from my normal work location, about 20 minutes into the drive I became very scared, scared Id loose control of my car, scared a deer my pop out, scared the guy in front of me would jam the breaks and Id end up in his neck. After about 3 minutes of feeling this way I began feeling as if I wasnt in control of my car I opened the window tried to regroup and thankfully made it to my destination safe. Im 28 and find that in the last 2 years Ive become a chicken $h!t...

I am a college freshman, and I really try hard to fix this somewhat childish, immature character that I still carry on.

When I was a little kid, I was kinda a shy person, and I wanted to fix this by keep boosting my pride and emphasizing my intelligence to the others. And this worked very well in managing my shyness, but now I have a bigger problem of being a smartass and an extremely arrogant person.

I do believe that others don't really need to know that I read Nietzche when I was 12 or I did algebra when I was 8, but I tell this to my friends, and make myself a big showing off jerk.

How do you manage yourself in this kind of situation?

Not many people know a statute which makes it illegal to enforce slavery exists in US legislation has been trampled on by feminists.

This statute is the Antipeonage Act of 1867. It currently exists as 42 U.S.C. §1994, which is the civil provision, and 18 U.S.C. §1581, which is the criminal provision. Just to keep you from thinking that I am talking about a myth, you may look these statutes up in the United States Code.

The Antipeonage Act is appropriate legislation Congress passed to enforce the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolishes slavery and involuntary servitude except as a punishment for a crime.

Peonage is defined as LEGALLY REQUIRED LABOR TO PAY A DEBT OR OBLIGATION.

Men are REQUIRED by feminist instated law to pay their OBLIGATION to pay for a child in the event of a divorce.

This has become a $40 Billion dollar a year industry where many men have no say in their obligation.

Have feminists violated the anti-peonage act?
