Mean that women are more oppressed than men? A certain poster on this website seems to think so. Now, that doesn't make much sense to me because one can easily be "represented" by a different gender- the point of representation is that someone represents your voice and beliefs on certain issues. It doesn't matter if that person is a male, a female, black, white, or albino.

Furthermore, if women don't CHOOSE to get into governmental positions, why should there be "equality" in that field? If men WANT to lead and women DON'T, or if women are voting for male candidates instead of female candidates, then what's the problem?

It seems to me that insinuating a group is oppressed because they aren't explicitly making decisions (even though they may easily influence the decision makers) makes very little sense to me; indeed, it seems to show a lack of critical thought and analysis.

So, does the fact that there are fewer women in governmental roles mean they are more oppressed than men are?

Shouldn't they file reports detailing every minute they spend during the days at home to evaluate productivity? don't they have benchmarks and milestones to meet? don't they have projects in addition to daily tasks? what's going on?

If a girl agree to have an oral sex experience witha man, but after that the man wonto to have a complete sex experience with her and he does while she cry and scraps him. Is it violence? Or he's justified by the oral sex?
Thanx for the answers

What could cause a sudden fear for your life? I was in a spooky surrounding. It was outdoors, and pretty dark. I started to feel like something was hunting me down. The person I was with felt it very shortly after I did. We drove away (we had been parked in a car). Do you think I was just nervous/scared and the other person subconciously picked up on this? Or do you think something was really hunting us?

We were on an island near Charleston, SC. We were by an old fort, but it wasn't exactly in disuse...it was sort of converted into a giant playground area.

We are being ripped off by oil refineries who are making record profits, from our misery. They are driving up inflation prices and costing millions of jobs.

Fact:
The oil companies are keeping the price of gasoline artificially high by reducing the capacity of our Oil Refineries, closing them down, or sabotaging their own pipelines.

Fact:
The price of gasoline is at record high, even though the price of oil per barrel is not the highest it's ever been.

If we force the companies to set the price of gasoline at $2.50
a gallon. They will have to produce more gasoline to make profit.
Right now they are cutting gasoline production and raising prices. Someone needs to tell the government that this will not be tolerated. This is price gouging and it is WRONG.
We need to put a Cap on the price of gas. NOW !!!

I've enjoyed this man's short films for a while now. really getting into them. Loved Rejected, loved Meaning Of Life, have the Animation show and about to get Bitter Films volume one. I've seen almost everything Don Hertzfeldt has made. I can even draw those poof ball thingies just like him. I just don't know how to pronounce the guy's last name. I mean, if you look up to someone for their talent, you should be able to pronounce their name properly. That's just respect, my friends. So someone tell me how so I can stop trying to make my dense mind over analyze the situation.

Has someeone hurt you so bad and turned on you....but after much time...maybe even a year that person regretted what he/she had done to you and called you to apologize? Has this ever happened to you and also do you think that time makes people think and realize what they had done?

Thanks!

Just because you know a lot of stuff doesn't make you intelligent. What do you think intelligence really is?

i talk to myself. not like long conversations with myself. but little pep talks like 'sarah...time to step up and study'. i don't consider that weird in itself but i don't say 'sarah it's time to go study' or sarah you need to go study... i constantly without thinking about it, instinctively even say 'sarah we need to study.'
i always refer to myself when speaking to myself in plural... what is wrong with me.

For the past few nights I have had recurring dreams involving tornadoes. My first dream was a water spout. I have always been told to go to my closet in my room if there was a tornado, in my dream I am yelling at my family to come get into the closet and they are taking their time telling me, "don't worry we'll be there in a second." The water spout passes calmly through, like being underwater but moments later a dark tornado comes ripping through the house and I wake up. Again last night I had a similar dream only the tornado was coming my way as I was trying to close my closet door, and I woke up. When I dream about tornadoes they are the only dreams I die in as well. I can get shot, stabbed, whatever in any other dream but never die. What do these dreams mean?

Is it because you are breathing? Because you are aware of yourself and what is around you?

I'm just trying to imagine how a Creator would define what is alive.

This isn't a question about abortion or creationism or evolution. And it refers to humans and animals.
