Social Science - 7 July 2007

Ok, I have always been confident about my age... I look younger than most of my friends, I hang out with 20-something people... I am happily married. Until now. I am a week from my big 3-0. I am close to panic. No big career (just a job), no kids, and feeling soooo not ready for an adulthood!!!!!!!! Should I change my life rapidly (change a job, get a science degree or start my own business--- inject hormones---- get fat and then pregnant if I am lucky)---i.e. achieve goals of so-called "real life" ------or maybe I am still too immature for that and should wait another 2-3-5-10 years to get a grown-up life? What if I'll never be ready? Share your own experience of a midlife crisis at 30..everyone... please! Especially women...How do/did you deal with it?

his mother and aunt were engaged in a hot discussion and forgot about the baby who was trying to get some attention. so realising that nothing worked, the baby went to the garage and hid behind the car. 15mn later, the mother and the aunt noticed that the baby had disappeared ; they started to search in the rooms inside the house, calling his name then went to the garden; didn't find him; went to the garage and called his name; still nothing. they were going to search outside the house but the mother decided to double check in the garage and searched under the car, she found him sitting behind the car. when he saw his mother, tears fell from his eyes without crying, kept silent and followed her inside the house.

what kind of baby is this ?

exchange student (I was as pure as the driven snow) and I received intensive counseling years later, but have never shaken the experience or gone back to feeling normal. I actually feel kind of a physical sense of loss or something I can't quite describe in the private region. I just can't believe that one second can change one's whole life. I did make the decision at the time to just "go through with it" and that it "really didn't matter" (his words actually) and so feel it was partially my fault. Yet it turned what was once an open and friendly girl toward men into someone who feels ugly, changed beyond remedy, and simply not comfortable joking or flirting with men - I have not have a boyfriend since - and never married (I am middle-aged now). I also never pursued my career (I am a lawyer). So now here I am at middle-age feeling my life was robbed of me. I have decided to pursue my legal career with a vengeance, but can anyone provide re: my sadness at never marrying?

I contacted someone from the past a while ago who indicated he didn't want a present relationship with me, yet my friend said he was just playing hard to get. She continues to push me to contact him again - she won't quit and insists that her version of events is the correct one, not mine. She is very insistent in all she does - there is no arguing with her. We are both in jobs that require us to insist on our own way, but still, I wonder why she is pushing me on this situation, when I was there - she wasn't. I have refused to respond to her e-mails on the situation or I have simply changed the subject and responded in an indirect way, and she calls me on it and asks why I didn't respond on point to the question of the relationship. Why is she like this - has anyone ever had a friend - who is otherwise very understanding and kind - act like this?

at the hands of others throughout your life, how does your faith in humanity get restored?
how do you find love and light, and learn to love again? when all that your lifes circumstances have left you with is hate and great anger and rage, when in the first place you didnt wanna be that way, you didnt want things to finish up the way they have.
its almost you could say, people have implanted that hate, anger, rage inside you, because of the prolonged trauma and victimization youve had done to you at the hands of others.

so what im saying is, how do you find your way back to love and light and humanity once more? is it possible or are you permenantly screwed?

i do respect religious answers, iam religious myself, iam christian, but i would prefer answers coming from your heart, from you yourself, and cast religion just to the side for this specific question.

i want to figure out life, i want to understand it completely, so i can become perfect.

i've been pondering this for 10 years now, and i've gotten absolutely no where. all this thinking has only brought me worry, stress, depression, and regret that i had to go through all this, and waste my life.

everywhere i go is another dead end, i keep struggling to finding the answer that will bring me perfection and eternal happiness. and even though i know that nothing in life is perfect, and nothing in life springs eternal happiness, i keep pushing myself to finding the answer to life that will bring it to me. why can't i do something about this endless struggle?

i'm 18 now, and i'm still at square one. what am i supposed to do? i just don't even know what do anymore, because its seems i've tried absolutely everything. i want my life to be worth something, but i just can't find out how.

is this just another stage that i have to live through, or is this an illness that i don't know?

Now a days' women are as independent, social power, strong minded as men. But for biological reason, it is not possible for a woman to feel sexually attracted towards a man who is weaker minded than her. So there are many women who can not mate with a man who is stronger than her due to shortage of that types of man. So does not women liberation and empowerment cause loneliness?

I'm so bored with my job. I'm not happy with it. I'm working in the middle east and being an expat myself, its a great priviledge to work here and at the same time be close to the whole family. My salary compared to some is a lot more plentiful, considering the not so many tasks that I have at hand. (See I even have time to go through Yahoo Answers) If only my family is not here, whom I'm suppoting, I would never doubt of changing a job. A job that I would really love and at the same time enjoy. But doing this would mean I will have lesser time with my kids. If I don't do it then my futire career will suffer becuase this is really not the job I want to excel in. What do you think should I do? I am battling between my professional satisfaction and family ties. Thanks for helping.

Why do these young ladies think it's great to show all your stuff like that? What accomplishments, if they think, does it do? Don't they know that me, personally, when I see that i feel embarrass for them. They so cheap and easy. Why do women do this?

"One small step for man. One giant leap for mankind."- Neil Armstrong (July 20, 1969) Crop circles. Abductions and unscaved returns. "In our image and after our own likeness."- the bible. Eziekel's (Old Testiment) encounter with GOD and his description of what he saw. Just food for thought. Honestly, I don't expect any logical answers. Just curious in what other people may think. I might be a lone thinker.

In any democracy, power should fall in the hands of franchised citizens,. This notion is based on the fundamental principle that ,when citizens are informed and educated, they are capable of voting to fulfill their own interests. Who better to represent the interests of the people than the people themselves? Still, ideals are great, but the ineludible reality of what America is today arouses questions that instigate doubt as to whether this principle can function in practice. Although in a democracy, suffrage is theoretically converted into power, power in it's final conversion is wealth. So can democracy truly function in a country where 1% of its population holds 33.4% of all privately held wealth? In a world where 1% percent of the global population owns 80% of the world's wealth? And how can people be manipulated into voting against their own economic interests?

I work in an office environment and one of my best friends was given a notice that her shirt must cover her entire chest. There was even an office notice that was sent out warning the women here about the dress code. Yet there are 3 women here that are large and you can always see there cleavage and still nothing is done.

I see a lot of women seem to be really offended by what some of these guys say. Personally, they all sound very frustrated to me. Men cannot figure us out so in order to feel powerful they try to make us feel horrible. Don't let them get to you!

Don't you agree girls?

It seems that, w/ Kuwait & Iraq possibly excludible, OPEC now has less margin to play with in decreasing total production; most members won't reduce production below a certain ceiling, or else imperil their "minimum projected income" despite increased prices. In case of OPEC supply reduction, can't producers like Britain, Ireland, Norway, Canada, Alaska & perhaps even Russia get together as a counter-consortium to take up the slack (if Iraq & Kuwait are removed from equation) ?
