Social Science - 26 January 2007

I was born with non-advantitious Grapheme → color synesthesia, which means I was born with a condition which causes me to view the world through different perspectives than most people. I associate numbers and letters through colors and certain times illicit certain emotions in me. I was just wanting to find out if anyone else had this condidtion. When did you realize you had it? Does it affect you life at all?

He won't go to a psychologist. He says that he is helpless and that he's a "bad gene."

There is this guy I know and he is about 28. He dropped out of college because his anxiety was very sevear back then. He keeps thinking that people in his family suffer from mental illnesses, but I think it's all in his head. Can't people live a normal life even when they suffer from anxiety? I think if he really wanted to he could get out of it. It's been years, and he doesn't go out of the house. He is never around people other than his family. He doesn't work and I'm guessing that he wants to spend his entire living behind closed doors. I'm just saying that it's easy to simply say that you have problems. It's easy to make excuses. I'm much younger than him. I want him to see the world. I would consider schizephrenia to greatly interfere with someones everyday life. Something must have happened to this kid. Something traumatic. Any advice?

felt like you were falling for them all over again? May be you should/shouldn't. Why should your heart rule your head can you change that? Is it a matter of self control or does the heart over come even the strongest of us?

Earlier, I posted a question about a "maximum wage," and people thought I meant a limit on what a person can EARN. No. I mean a limit on what a company can PAY any one individual. If somebody wants to work for two companies, then he/she is welcome to double his/her income.
CEOs are not the only people with inflated incomes. Do I think professional athletes or movie stars have equal value to doctors or teachers? No, although my proposed "salary cap" of $5-$10 million a year is still more than what athletes and actors generally make, which leaves businessmen.

If the majority of Iraqi's are against us then we are not giving them a choice.
I was taught that the seed of democracy was freedom to choose.
Are we telling the Iraqi people that we're taking away their old choices and making them conform to our way of thinking?
What does that that make us?

All things considered, deep down, who's meaner?

I've heard that women are actually meaner, in some groups they will cut other women down to nothing

This is not a debate question. My anthropology professor didnt answer this question today, maybe he couldnt.........
If humans evolved from ape, then why are they not evolvig anymore? Did the evolution just stop? And since evolution cant produce a new species, then why are we not genetically similar to primates of today since we are so close to a frog?
Im not trying to disprove the theory, I cant get a knowledgable answer about it. Im a christian and I believe God made man...and so forth down that road. But scientist have had over 100 years to study evolution since Darwin theorised it..............where is the results of the studies? Im not talking fur color of the artic hare, Im talking about something actually evolving from what it was, not just a genetic change.
Im just confused because I fell evolutionist cant explain their own theory. And also...why is it still a THEORY, why not fact............?

Be sure to give your explanation of "why" you chose these parts rather than others. (only various parts of the brain can be used.)

Will Dave Salmoni on "Into the Loion's Den" end up like Timothy Treadwell? Is this guy crazy or what? It's a big enough risk working with trained lions but this guy is getting within inches of lions in the wild. Does he have a death wish?
