If my company decides that labor is cheaper in another country, why should I stay in America and lower my profit margin just to employ Americans? That's anti-business. If Americans would just lower the cost of the their labor, then they could compete with the price of labor elsewhere.

Humans want power because they don't want to be weak. Being weak lowers your chance for survival. Is that why people want power so much?

What is wrong with a person who feels the need to continually stir up the sh!t pot? They broach a subject or make a comment or accusation that they know good and well will either make you uncomfortable or piss you off, and then when you get upset, they laugh about it. If you press it, they say that you must be the one with the problem, or you must be guilty of something, etc., or you wouldn't be so upset or defensive. It ends up where they come out looking like the innocent party, and you are the perpetrator.

I hate this, and I don't know how to diffuse it before it starts. I'm afraid that if I can't come to grips with it or find a better way to handle it, I'm going to have to cut this person out of my life in order to maintain my own sense of well-being.

Any insight or feedback you could offer would be SO appreciated!

I would probably be a giant wolf. Fiercly loyal and loving and completely at home, cunningly roaming the snow-covered mountain forests and feasting on fresh game while providing for my pack. I'm not sure if i'd be the alpha-wolf, but there's a good chance i would be.

What does it say about mankind that we are still grapling with exactly the same kinds of issues...?

...as we did 2000 years ago?

People still refer to Plato, Aristotle, and such who cite political, social, and economic problems they had which we also still have.

In fact, I don't think mankind has 'solved' a single socio-economic problem (not even slavey which still exists, 2000 years later!) in the world while technology (as it is independent of human nature) continues to be man's most valuable tool.

Incontinence is perfectly natural for a woman. Here are some fast facts for you:

http://www.urotoday.com/browse_categories/urinary_incontinence/prevalence.html

The United States has the highest rate of female incontinence.

* Half of all women experience incontinence at some point in their lives.
* 1/3 Develop a regular problem.

If it is 1/3 of women, quite a significant number, then why is it considered a problem?!

SOUNDS LIKE IT'S PERFECTLY HEALTHY TO ME.

Just because patriarchal standards of women's deportment insist that we do not smell like urine - so they can objectify us - does not mean that incontinence is a problem. Sounds like it is just as normal as underarm hair, leg hair, facial hair and "obesity". In fact around 1/3 of women are "obese" in the United States and just like obesity adult diapers did not exist when they were painting pictures
of healthy women considered obese by todays standards.

Why do women conform to the patriarchal standard of wearing adult diapers for incontinence?
