I had a lot of work to do and I cannot finish it during workdays because I lack motivation.
I ussually promise to myself to do it on weekends.
But on sat/sun I do nothing and come back to office depressed because the weekend is gone I still had a lot to do.

My wife asked me if I am attracted to my students (high schoolers). This is already an unfair question. I said 'no' at first, trying to keep from enduring her wrath. After a few hours I thought to myself "No. It is normal for some young girls to look attractive as well as young boys." I am not saying attractive as in wanting to physically realate to, but rather pretty or good-looking. My wife blew up! She went crazy on me and started callling me a pedophile! I understand she had many horrible experiences when she was a teenager involving older men, but I have NO interest in these girls! Incedentally, my wife is 35 but looks almost exactly the same as she did at 16. Does that make her unattractive now or unattractive then. Please advise.

Okay, Im at school (my college) and i see one of my girl friends. She's really pretty and at one point last semester i kinda liked her. anyway, we're eating lunch together and then as she comes back from takin her tray stops and whispers something to another girl (which just happens to be Jordin from American Idol). Then she comes back and sort of eases me down on by back and crawls on top of me. She then leans down and kisses me on the mouth and even uses some tounge. Naturally, i kiss back. We make out passionately for a while and then we go to the opening round of the NCAA mens basketball tounament where Memphis hits a game winning shot and the fans go crazy (i dont attend Memphis). Oh yeah, My friend's name wasnt her real name but rather Rachel (a friend of mine that I wanted to be more than friends with that same semester. we went out once to a concert that was required for one of our classes but when i asked her out for real she said she had a bf.) whaddaya think it means?

I gotta know. And if they are, then why is it that everybody is always so nice to them and treat them like they so great and wonderful? Why is it that they are all so interested in sex, Smirnoff, parties, Spring Break, bars, teasing guys, and generally acting like snobs? Why is it that they all go around saying they are such innocent, church-going Christians? An even better question: Why is it that people like this are the ones who always get picked for the teaching jobs in our school? How on earth can they be good role models for our kids?

Do I stereotype? Yes. Does that make me a judgmental arsehol? Most likely. But hey, I am the only one who notices these things.

there was a programme on last night - 2 American fatsoes and 2 Brits. All were bed-bound because of their weight. All ate something like 2 weeks' worth of food in a day. I understand that it's an addiction, but it's not like they're heroin addicts, who can go out and steal to fund their habit - where do the obese people get their money from, cos they can't get out the bed, let alone get out the house to a job????

Excluding the factor of race white woman claimed they have been a minority because they did not have the right to vote until 1900's. Very few of them served in high political positions and economic positions. But then again I think there were areas where they got preferential treatment. For one women have never been included in any military draft. Two it has been proven by many prosecutors and judges that women are less likely than men to be sentenced to death and sentenced as harshly for the same crime under the same circumstances. Three men tended to have more pressure on them to find a job to support their family and kids in an area where workforce jobs did not have much safety and included long areas. So when you look at it is it fair to complain white woman as a minority to blacks when they received preferential treatment in some areas and this group did not.

feelings for you, and is not committed to you anymore? i had a relashionship with a girl in canada, on msn. i met her two years ago in warez chat and id been talking to her for two years on msn. i built up strong feelings for her. and she told me she did to. she was even goin to move to the uk to be with me. i got really attached to her, she was a light in a dark tunnel in my life. when im dealing with other issues, like my mental health. she gave me hope. recentley she told me she needed to review everything in her life, including our relashionship, and that she may not be able to come over her now, and she would still like to be friends on msn. im cut up about this. and thought this was my first real relashionship with someone. but what i built up in my mind, was never true at all. shes 20 from canada. im 29

1) I hear some women saying women are paid 0.70 for every dollar a man makes, or 0.77, 0.80, 0.90 and other women say they are paid the same. Please explain, only 1 can be the right answer.

2) Paying less just because of gender, race, ethnicity, etc is against the law. If a woman can prove she is getting paid less, she could file a lawsuit and make big $ off it. Please explain how a woman can get paid less, and isn't being able to file a lawsuit and make big $ a good thing?

3) I'd also like a study on salaries at least dating from 2000 (the more recent the better), comparing a man and a woman, both the same age, and both new at the job, working at the exact same job position, both working the same amount of time.(hours/week) Here is why I want all those things:
- age is factor when determining salary.
- The longer you have been working at a job the higher you get paid. Ex: If one has worked at the job for 2 years and the other 5 years, it's normal the person who has been working the longest gets paid more.
- Part-time workers will have lower wages than full-time workers.
- It’s normal different position earn different salaries. A manager will earn more than a salesman.

I don’t want every working man vs every working woman, as more men are in higher paying jobs than women, which would result in the study being inaccurate.

When you forget something, where does the thought go?

When you just thought of something and forget it the next second, what just happened? I mean, you just thought of it.

How much can the brain really remember? Is it really the brain that remembers things?

When someone says "burn or kill a brain cell", does that mean you are forgetting things?

What do brain cells do exactly? Where is the memory stored?

If someone was to have a brain transplant, would they have the same thoughts and feelings as they did before?

I'll be looking forward to your answers and learning some new things! Thanks a lot guys I appreciate it.

I have a strong tendency not to let things go whether it may be something someone said or did, maybe they didn't mean it in a bad way but if i get even a hint that they were looking down on me patronising me in anyway, then i just see red. I dont go beating people up, but verbally and emotionally i cant let go, i cant let things just be and i let people get to me if i perceive them as threatening me or insulting my character. I know im extremly stubborn and hard headed and usually dont take very many peoples advice but im just wondering does anyone have any suggestions on how to just let things role off my back and not be so defensive, or is it something thats just in my nature and character?
Serious answers only please,if anyone comes and tries to wind me up,it wont work,with this question i know some people might think they have open season on me,doesn't work like that.
Anyways, im sorry for rambling on and thanks if you even read this long lol. =)

I was a student of WIU Axia online (western international university AXIA online which is owned by apollo group and associated thereby to the University of Phoenix Online). They kicked me out of the school after my mental health problems exacerbated by poor community healthcare for poor people; whereby my medical conditions (adult ADHD) diagnosis was not correctly documented, such that I would be able to present that documentation to the school's ADA representatives. A consideration here is that the pentagon is rerouting funds of the GI Bill with these online schools and useing that money to fund the DOJ's new computer system which integrates any and all possible criminal actions/suspicions (paroled inmates look out!) So with that a simple phone call to a mental patient who is enrolled in the parole system from the school for the purpose of involving them with AI communications subliminal messageing programs online and breaking their financial capacity to resist corrupt affiliations.
