Ok I was talking with a girl last night. She has been my friend since forever not gf. The other night I was walking home from work (I always do), I work in the downtown near a university and on my way home two different groups of women avoided me as much as to walk to the other side of a three lane street then back again as soon as they passed me in both cases although I passed both of them separately two blocks from each other. I don't believe that I look that scary and I was wearing good slacks, black boots, a nice shirt, a blue nike hat and some headphones for my mp3. I was watching my feet because it was cold and I was using my shirt to protect my face against the cold. I am 6 ft and rather strongly built which is why they would be afraid. I thought that girls should be able to defend themselves and she says that they shouldn't have to worry about rape. Secondly, I don't ike being treated like a monster because I am built bigger. It is not my fault that I am bigger. Who is righter?

Spending the day at home with your pet bird and pigging out on your favourite foods and a DVD
Taking a sailboat out in calm waters on a warm night with a beautiful girl
Being in a log cabin in the snow with a roaring fire and watching the stars
Sitting on a hill at dusk in summer with good friends and drinks and watching the world go by
Walking through winter mist and fog on a foreign holiday

I remember James Spader's character "Alan Shore" from Boston Legal had it in an episode, and explained it was something sexual or had something to love. I couldn't find a website that came close to it, or if adults can have it, just children. I also remembered his character needed someone to watch him before he heads to the window to jump, or even restraints. Does anyone remember this?

So, in the Canela tribe of Brazil a woman is expected to sleep with any man who asks her on one magical and glorious day, even if she previously refused his advances. How could we go about creating this magnificent cultural phenomenon? would it take a revolution?

p.s. We live in a society that can afford protection, including tests against HIV, etc, so it could be managed properly, I think, to avoid increasing STD infection, as happens in legalized prostitution all over the world.

My brother in law has adhd and I think my family is starting to develope the body language and speech patterns as him. They work with him 8 to 12 hours a day and he lives in the same home. This has been going on for around two years. But he has only been off his meds for about 9 months or so. It almost seems like every converstation with my family is one sided and not like my way or no way-more like long drug out stories on everything. Then a repeat? I feel when im talking to them they are thinking 100 different things and when we do connect its just that fake connection a lot of us use. I just wanted to see if I could be on the right track linking their odd behavor to ADHD?? and input would be cool thanks. O and no one is on drugs
no one is upset or fighting
were the normal messed up american family
always have worked together
just I noticed somthing diferent and I like having answers thats all

Becasue we are more inteligent?

And if aliens came to earth with super inteligence then would that demote us to just another animal?

We think we are superior but are we?
Many living things on this earth can do things we never could so what makes us so important?

I would prefer if you could leave religion and god out of your answers.

I know Yellow fever is big all over the world but for some reason its especially huge in the former British colonies like the US, Australia, and Canada. Every time I go to one of these countries I see all the men going after Asian women and bypassing all the other women. In such diverse countries such as Austalia, US, and Canada why have Asian women become the most popular women? When I visit these countries all the men seem to be talking about is "hot Asian chicks", and now I hear that Asian pornography is now more popular then porn with other races of women. Whats going on? Is this admiration or has it become an obsession or fetish? Is this a new phenomenon or has this been going on for awhile now. And is it ethical for an older men to leave their wives to shack up with a much younger Asian women?(I’ve seen a lot of that too)

If someone is out there to get you, do you rather get hurt physically or emotionally ? When I say emotionally, it can be play you for love, it can be verbal abuses or humilations or any sorts of embarrassments that hurt your feelings and pyshie.

Sometimes (maybe 4 or 5 days out of the month for the last 6 months) I've been having episodes of extreme sadness, usually precluded by thoughts of self-worthlessness or an incident that gives me a feeling of self-worthlessness. One reason it happens so much is that I have no friends. Up to christmas eve, I had never talked to a girl on the phone, and had never even been close to being in a relationship. Now me and this girl have been talking for a month and gone out once (she had to cancel twice for good reasons). Twice since then I have managed to convince myself that her likeing me (she initiated the talking with me by the way) was some kind of mistake and that I was supposed to be alone, even though I do NOT want to be alone. Each of those times I got really depressed, and I hate it. Is this depression? or what?
