I was so shocked when I saw in tv the reaction of the people when storm Katrina struck their place. We in the Philippines were aware of the coming of the strong storm, so why these people did not prepare themselves in the coming storm? Why blame the government in the destruction of their place? Why do they had to loot and kill people?

Do men do the same??
Women should reunite and support each other instead of clawing each other like cats.

Some people snore, some grind their teeth, some reveal a little of the dream that's going on. Is this at all linked to how their mind works or is it all physical.

I have been reading that it is a mechanism which controls not only the body and health, but even creates situations and produces wealth, etc.

I just had the most STRANGEST experience.

I was at a basketball game with a couple buddies. as we were walking around the arena, I started feeling a little weird.. my hands started tingling, and I couldn't walk straight (I drank a little too).

Then all of a sudden I just lost all touch with reality. I don't know if any of you have heard of an out-of-body experience, but thats EXACTLY what I was experiencing for 3 hours straight. It was like I was watching myself act, but it wasn't ME in my body. I had rational thoughts in MY mind, but couldn't express them to others. I didn't know if I was dying or going crazy. I would also keep rubbing my hands to make sure I wasn't dreaming. It was like there was a wall blocking my rational thoughts and my actual body to express them.

The worst part about it is that it ruined my ENTIRE night, because for 3 hours I was just trying to fight it. My body was trying to enjoy the game, but my mind was fighting to get back to normal.

Hi, as a child every night I had this really wierd dream. I have just started to have this dream again as an adult. Can someone explain it please?

I am with my parents on the way home from a holiday. Suddeny, the car stops and my parents dump me on the side of the road. I wander around until it is dark . I become very frightened, suddenly, a tall, skinny and pale man and woman emerge from the road. They offer to take me into the road with them where I will be accepted as one of them, and fit in.

I usually wake up now really frightened and unable to go back to sleep.

I know its really wierd, but if anyone knows anything about this kind of thing I would appreciate your wisdom!

Why do so many people so readily believe everything the government tells us?
Why can't people make their own decisions, look at the facts and decide for themselves?
Why do people chastise others for trying to make their own decisions?

Why does no one QUESTION AUTHORITY???

"Think for yourself
Question authority

Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness; chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself.

Think for yourself.
Question authority."

I feel stupid when it comes to technical things. Truly understanding science. Relating science to everyday life. Math is okay, English great, philosophy and all that crap fine. So it is not ALL logic, but many logical things I do not grasp. I can't put little pieces together to make a big whole. It would take me longer than average to learn how to change my own oil, for instance, or learn how to assemble a boudoir. I would slow it down by wanting to know every little detail, and what if this happens, and why can't....I could learn it and be as competent as average, it just takes longer. And some things, I fear, I just could not grasp.
Sometimes I feel so incredibly stupid in certain areas. Please don't tell me this is because I am a female, because I know plenty of women that are engineers and very practical people. And I know some men that are brilliant academics but could not run a printing press very well.

I'm a senior in high school and last year I came to the conclusion that much of it has been a failure because I didn't get to know people that well and I became determined that I would make up friends and make up lost time. I think the mistake I made was not making it a hope, but a quest, to the point where I have come to almost need confirmation that they like me to be happy. It has become obsessive. I was the happiest I have been yesterday because we were all together and everyone was happy, but the thing is, it had its downpoints. Like when people didn't say anything to me for like 10 minutes, (I have social anxiety disorder) I became depressed and all these negative thoughts came. Like "they're disgusted with me because I'm so shy" and I can't help them coming, as hard as I try, they take me over. I have these moments everyday. But I don't think I realized how miserable I was until I realized how happy I was yesterday. What can I do this is affecting me a lot

In the past women have needed champions in the form of feminists to get equal rights (the right to vote, work, etc.). However this is not the situation in many places around the world now. Are feminists still needed for our society (in the western world ONLY)?

Why Do women feel they need to become feminists?
If they are still needed and why? And if not then why are feminists still around?
Are feminists now doing more harm than good now or not, and to whom?

And another question, who has it better off men or women (please do not quote tried old steriotypes, but instead truth in form of personal experience or certifable knowlage)?

Please explain your answers. I thank you in advance.
