Social Science - 3 February 2007

In theory, technology enables us to be more powerful than any generation before us. But is also comes with a lot of distractions (particularly the Internet).

How does one optimally deal with that? Embrace it? Enjoy it? Trammel it? Pull the plug?

It's not always the opinion of the person asking the question, they are just wanting to find out what people think so keep an open mind and use your energy to think of an interesting answer and not an abusive one.

I have dreams all the time about being naked. Not perverted naked but suddenly realizing I'm naked and getting embarrassed and trying to find some clothes to put on. What does this mean?

despite talking through the 'probable' causes I am still highly anxious in certain situations (in work meetings, on the bus, in any queue) I feel trapped and panic and nothing is working to relive the anxiety I feel. It's seriously ruining my life as I avoid all sorts of situations and at work its highly embarrassing as i have to attend lots of meetings (only to bolt out when i get a panic attack). I'm desperate. Has anyone had cognitive therapy for this and it worked? Please help me.

If you are you can use this question to help get rid of it. Pretend I am the person you are angry at and write. It's a great way to relieve stress, get something off you chest and of course get two points

Throughout history all of these things are interlinked to some extent, conversations about them illicit 'hate', and out there I am sure many open-minded, educated, worldly, spiritual people have considered that Greed is the reason we are at this point in the road... so convince me I'm wrong... tell me why this brush is not appropriate for all of these problems!

If HGT can transfer genetic material to another organism that is not its offspring, why can't we take, lets say the Flatworm or something else that can be split in two without dying, and make real sense of evolution. Instead of waiting millions of years, hell we claim to be the smartest (Well, I'm not THAT smart, but smart enough to think of it) of our primitive ancestors, why are OUR TROOPS coming home confined to wheelchairs or without limbs. (I haven't forgotten about the HGT or the flatworm) I mean if "WE" can fund a war of none of "OUR" concern (I pay my taxes) "WE" can damn show fund research to "OUR AMERICAN SCIENTIST" to dig deep into this matter. I'm pretty sure if they put maggots & leeches inya to cure ya, then why not dwell on this for awhile. I mean come on people. This is not some type of Frankenstein stuff I'm talking about either, this my very well be able to...... So my question is why are we wasting time on small stuff when we can___ (Make evolution work for us!)

I often fantasize about my wife desiring a man with a package much bigger than mine. In the fantasy, she verbally degrades me and humiliates me. In one version, she has me on display for her friends to see what I don't have. What does this constant fantasy mean?

The world can sometimes be a difficult place in which to live. Many people feel like they can't really do anything that can change the world around. Do you think it's possible for an individual to create social change in the world around them? And if so, how can they bring about change?

Having had some days off through illness I've had luxury of watching afternoon TV.
Why are there so many fat women on chat shows moaning about their life style? Is this trying to capture a 'fat female moaning' audience?

P.S.
I'm 34 and have exercised since I was 16
