Social Science - 14 April 2007

So heres my question... Im reading yahoo news and Michael Jordan and his wife is getting a divorce. She is about to get 100 million or something like that from him just cuz she was married to him.... Is that fair? Now I know some women will say yes because she had to put up with mens bs but... this is MJ we're talking about. He's rich and always was rich. She didn't have to lift a finger. All his money came from HIS talent, HIM playing basketball, HIM making endorsments, HIS name. I would understand if she had something to do with that, but she has absolutely NOTHING to do with that... wheres the fairness in that???

The United States has one of the highest rates of infant male circumcision http://www.cirp.org/library/statistics/USA/ and also one of the highest rates of HIV infection http://data.unaids.org/pub/GlobalReport/2006/2006GR-PrevalenceMap_en.pdf in the developed world, suggesting that circumcision is having exactly the opposite effect. Conversely, Finland and Japan http://www.circinfo.org/hiv.html#lies have some of the lowest rates of circumcision and also some of the lowest rates of HIV/AIDS.

Two thirds of women will outlive their husbands. Half of all woman will be a widow for 15 years or more. Are you Prepared? Do you have enough money? Does this make women superior for living longer!

Her mood swings are driving me insane!! She goes from laughing and having fun one minute to being totally b*tchy the next, and expects me to always deal with it. I HATE drama, and I try to keep my life pretty mellow. I love being around her when she's "level", because she's a very smart and loving person. But I just can't take this drama.

I am really withdrawn from life I guess. In school I have friends, but I don't like to talk much. I never go out with anyone to the movies or I don't get invited... I dunno how to fix this. I wanna be a good kid, not like loud and a prep, and smart, but still socialize better. Anyone know how to help?

I've been thinking about this recently.

I was diagnosed with clinical depression. I know what it is like to feel sad and dejected all day everyday. Not wanting to feel like that anymore, I went to the doctor. After taking my family history, which is fraught with mental illness, she thought my depression was genetic, and I was precribed antidepressants. And they seem to be working. As of late, I've been feeling a lot better, smiling and laughing much easier. But I haven't really changed my lifestyle and habits. I still live the same life, I just feel better while I do it. But my recovery has made me question, what is really the significance of feeling happy if it is just a function of my brain chemistry?

If you read all this, thanks.

I see lots of very hardworking, people in my area that look foreign born. I imagine the farmers had a network of migrant workers for years .... doing the hot nasty work .... keeping prices down. Are these foreign workers an asset to the American economy or are they a burden ??

Like my dad was a good footballer and a scout from Manchester United had come to watch him, but on that same day he broke his leg clean through. If he hadn't broke it, maybe the scout would have selected him to play for Man U and then he would never have met my mum and i wouldn't have been born. It scares me sometimes. It prmpts you to think if you answer this question, what may have happened if you didn't, would you have left your pc earlier and something terrible happen to you?

I walked away from my software engineering job 4 months ago after disagreement with the managers and team members. I started when I was 26 and had been there for 2.5 years. Everyone got on a promotion except myself. So I quit. Don't get me wrong I was extremly good at the job, just not with some people.

I been doing what I want, when I want, how I want for the last 4 months. I have savings so I'm financially good, better than some others. Life is stress free at the moment.

I am sort of regreting the leave, but on the other hand I am glad I don't have to go any more.

I am looking to venture out into other pastures like entertainment or writing industry.

My mamma tells me I was the looser. I shouldn't have walked away and fight for my stance. What do you think?

I don't know who to talk to about what is really going on inside me. I don't have many friends and am not married. I am not that close to my parents.

Any suggestions?

I have anger inside toward people who have hurt me - either through saying things that hurt me or accusing me of things I did not do. I also have anger toward friends that don't return my phone calls.

I know that I have to forgive them. What is the best way to do that?

why do people think that it is okay to unearth people from ages gone by and study the remains and then display them for the public. the remains were of someone who was a loved one, they grieved from the loss of this person and remembered them with love and fondness. Never once imagining that some monster would be examining them in the name of science. I'm not questioning the use of forensics to reach the cause of death in recent cases but the long ago dead who should rest in peace. I'm especially saddened by the ones that were obviously laid to rest by others.

Why do people call it degradation for women to be potrayed in revealing clothes and act as prostitutes and strippers on televiion but no one considered to be degrading if a man acts as a buffoon or clown, is potrayed as a violent criminal such as a rapist, or is slapped on a tv show by a woman?
