Maybe it is perception but they seem to be fighting more. Is it because of an increase in female heroines like tomb raider and resident evil?

Be morbidly overweight (and never be able to lose the weight), have one arm, ugly, or blind and why? This is a serious question. Please seem to have a general bias towards overweight people and I'd like to know what people would honestly prefer and why?

Why are we blamed for forgetting things when we have tried our best to remember?

It is no good assuming that people have not tried to remember because you cannot prove that, and everyone has a right to fair trail and so we have to prove it.

Have you ever had your teacher moan because you forgot to get your PE kit?
You tried to remember, but saying this to the teacher just doesn't cut it.

Tell me how a teacher can be right dispite this? and why.

This is something that I have been trying to figure out for ages. I really need an honest answer. Is it because they want to take out thier frustration on the kids or something else?

I would like a very indepth and conscise or scientific answer.

I've started to realize that I may be attracted to emotional pain and hurt. I find that I put myself into situations where I will be hurt emotionally.

For example, I tend to crush on straight guys constantly and guys who can't and won't reciprocate those love and affection. i've thought about it a lot and i think that a part me secretly digs getting hurt and beat up on.

Are these feelings typical? do you think that i should be worried about this?

A. I think that by the use of consequences, we could teach prisoners that what they did is wrong and is not accepted in our society. This is called operant conditioning, and it would modify the occurrence and form of a prisoner’s behavior. Comparing prisoners to cats, we could put the prisoners in jail, instead of a puzzle box, and every time the prisoner accomplished a good deed, he would have his sentence reduced to a less harsh punishment, which would be classified as the positive reinforcement. When first constrained in jail, the prisoners would have taken a long time to escape. However, if a prisoner conducts a bad behavior, we cannot reduce his punishment, or else this would be a negative reinforcement. With experience, ineffective responses will occur less frequently and successful responses will occur more frequently, enabling the prisoners to escape in less time over successive deeds.

More just a question out of curiosity than anything else; it's not meant to be rude or anything of the sort...just curious.

Ok, here is the entire story before I ask the question because you need this to make your decision. My uncle, two years ago, died on January 16th. The second anniversary of his death is coming up, and for about a month before his death, he was in the hospital. He had a bunch of stuff wrong with him, but the main thing was pancreatitis. That's what landed him there. He also had liver problems. He was the uncle I was closest to and could literally talk to about anything. I've been having a very hard time lately, one of many since his death, and was thinking about him among the three people lost that year (one to brain cancer and one to sudden stroke). This is going to sound weird, but the light in my hallway started flickering and flashing neurotically. I had just left it and was in the bedroom where my husband and daughter were. I looked at it, and for some reason I am not very sure of, said "Ok Uncle Jimmy". The moment after I said that, it stopped. Is this him or what?

I'm currently in first year university, Civil Engineering, for that matter. It was extremely frustrating with not much help from the faculty and I ended up failed my first term and it really forced my to analyze what I decisions I've been making up to this moment.

Being in an Asian family, my parent starting drowning me in studies and tutors and what not when I was a kid and I ended up accepting getting good grades as the most important thing I could achieve. It was now that I finally realize that what I have been doing was wrong and that I ended up sacrificing a lot of friends and memories I could of had for grades.

I wish to regain some time to experience life but I'm having trouble deciding because now that I'm in university, I have almost no time. What should I do with my time now?

He was sober for 3 yrs after he nearly died from pancreatitis and was in a coma for about 4 weeks. His 25 yr old daughter moved in with him . She thought she could just booze it up in his house and it would be allright I guess. He started drinking again with his daughter and her husband. Well. it got out of control, I came downstairs the other nite and he was drinking out of a big jug of vodka.
I told him last nite I would never shame him for his alcoholism, because I know how hard it is for him not to drink. I also told him I felt really disappointed that his adult children did not support him in his sobriety and I felt like it was a shame. I explained to him how I watched him almost die and it was the hardest thing I have ever experienced in my life. I explained how much his drinking problem has affected my life. How we arent spontaneous lovers because he drinks himself into impotence and I am not really into finding out he cannot perform in bed. Was I stupid to tell him?

She is not religious, is unsure about god/gods, so religious comfort is out. She is not afraid of dying, she is afraid of the unknowns after she dies. What can I say to her that will help the unknown seem a little less scary?

I've been through a lot of conflicts and misunderstanding lately. However, I tend to enjoy this time of alienation from others. When I am pissed off or accused of something, I enjoy it. I know this is weird but is something wrong with me? Should I do something to change it? I just don't understand. Help me please.
