I agree with psychology and legal authorities that say physical discipline negatively affects children and sets the wrong example. I am amazed how many people disagree and believe it is the only way to get through to a child and to get them to behave...out of fear?

I have noticed two kinds of posters here on Yahoo Answers. Those who want to know the truth, and those who are just looking for people to tell them that their "opinion" is right. Some questions, like those on religion etc... are a matter of opion, but other questions, like those on legal matters and such, have a true and false answer to them. I have noticed some asking legal questions (just as an example) that get ticked at those who are giving them the truth, because they don't believe the truth is fair. I don't understand why some post questions of seriousness like that, just to get you to say they are right.... even if they are wrong. I don't lie to anyone. I also look up answers i don't know before posting to serious stuff like that. Do you look for the "truth" of the matter, or to learn of others opinions, or do you come on here onesided, just looking for someone to tell you that you are right.

A friend of mine (we'll call her Amy) confided in me a few years ago that she was abused (sexually) when she was younger. Now she has been dating my best friend (who we'll call Frank) for about 6 months. I've talked to both of them, and they are both very much in love. But whenever Frank asks Amy about going further with the relationship (not sex or marriage, just more committed) she distances herself from Frank.

So here is my question: If someone was sexually abused as a child, can it deepen fear of commitment, or increase fear of getting closer to someone?

Obviously this is a very sensitive subject, so please only provide serious answers.

Are these just dreams?I live in Tampa area. About 7 years ago i had a strange dream. I was in my parents back yard and looked towards the southeast and saw a mushroom cloud. I knew in my dream it was Miami. Was scary dream and even though miami is about 7 hours drive , there was rocks falling on my head. Move forward. About 5-6 months before Tsunami's i had dreams of giant wave coming towards gulf coast of florida. Never thought about dream until Tsumani happend. Move forward. About 6 weeks before Katrina had another dream of a big wave but seemed to be caused by storm. Now i remembered 1st dream about three weeks ago when i had another one where i was high above a stadium looking down at it. 3 objects went down into the stadium and saw a big blast. In my dream i knew that the stadium was in Miami. The next thing is i was standing on ledge of a building and that building and all of the other buildings started falling but not like the WTC but like cig ashes. Is this just a dream

Do youthink that kids could be better learners than adults, but they are just considered too young to learn. Do u think that a 8 year old could learn Calculus just like a college student but people just don't teach it because they are too young?

My mom says when I was like 5 and having a b-day party, classmates would ask me if they can come and I'd tell them no because they were too ugly.

When I was in school, I used to ignore girls who would talk to me if they weren't hot. I would just stare at them like "why da hell are you talking to me?" Why am I like that?

Why do we dump millions into prof. athlete's pockets? Couldn't we better spend that money on disease research or something. Why do/did we allow such salaries to swell to such huge numbers? Why are so many people addicted? Why do people trash their own cities when a team wins the Superbowl?
