According to the World Heath Organization report, men are five times more likely to die of 'Violence' than women. If that is the case, then why is the media and many special interest groups so bent on stopping violence against women when it occurs five times less than it does against men?

This question is not intended to be sexist.

I'm hoping to branch out more in my real-world feminism, and that has led me to wonder: what organizations are you all a part of? Would you say that being a part of such an organization has been rewarding? Either way, what is the most rewarding experience you've had, as a feminist?

I have always tried to stay in tune with God and have found that I usually have trouble hearing him. It's hard sometimes to know when He is speaking to me and when it is only my own thoughts. However, I have always prayed for his guidance. I have had several dreams lately where I felt very strongly that he was speaking to me. For instance there was one where my husband and I were looking for a particular doughnut shop, and I ended up becoming seperated from him and got lost, and was wandering around looking for him, became disheartened and fell to my knees with my head down. I heard a voice from above tell me I had to keep my head up, because that was the only way my husband would recognize me, because he doesn't see me that way (as someone who would have her chin down in hard times). I knew what that one meant, there was also one where a church we had recently started going to had a rich garden, with lots of fruit, and we could take some seeds home to make our own garden.

Ok, so I don't usually go for dream interpretation, and I don't believe in any of that astrological stuff. HOWEVER, lately, I've really had some crazy dreams. Not really nightmares, but just weird dreams! I'll dream about seeing people that I haven't seen in years, or I'll dream about having wild....well, you know, with someone I've never even seen before.
The weirdest thing about all these dreams is, after I wake up, I feel like I've dreamt them all before, and they're just continuing every night! It's the weirdest thing. I probably didn't explain myself very well, but if anyone has any suggestions or reasons for my dreams, please let me know!

When asked once about the public, the famous psychologist Jung once said he could estimate that 80% of people in the world had some sort of mental disease.

Was he right? Are people just crazy?

My husband and I are at home. For some reason, though it isn't the home we have, it's the one I grew up in, but in my dream I recognize it as "our home". He is near the door. I want to go in the house, because there are bees all around and I want to get inside away from them, but they are by the door, so I can't approach the door. My husband is urging me to come to him (and the door, which he is in front of), and not be afraid. The bees are all around him, so I don't want to be anywhere near him. He starts to slowly walk towards me, trying to say comforting words and urge me closer, but the bees are still close to him and they begin to sting him. His pleas for me not to be afraid are intermittently punctuated with "ouch!"es. I don't know if this dream has to do with my fear of him drinking again (he's a recovering alcoholic & hasn't drank in years), or with his back injury and our financial problems. What is this dream telling me to do? Or is it only highlighting internal feelings?

I'm an ugly guy. Because Im ugly, I've become shy. It would be torture to subject others to my looks. So I have no social life. I go to work, do my job, barely talk... and go home. My self confidence is lower than Michael Jackson's pants near adolescent boys.

What do I do?

In the past I've set things such as benifits of leather shoes etc. Customer service, but I normally break it down into approach/finding product and customer needs etc.

Do you have any other ideas? Anything unusual but will help contribute to the successfull running of a busy shoe department? Anything the girls will find usefull but at the same time learning?

Please help, I'm running out of ideas!

Thanks in advance!

I get bored with every woman I date after a few months (or weeks or days or hours). I had one two year relationship where the woman dumped me for cheating. The only reason I didn't leave her first was because she was an awesome cook.

So girls.. tell me what makes you worth committing to...?

What do you think?

"Leslie Moonves, CBS chief executive, on Tuesday suggested that sexist attitudes were partly to blame "for the faltering performance of Katie Couric, the news anchor he recruited to the network with a $15m annual pay package.

“I’m sort of surprised by the vitriol against her. The number of people who don’t want news from a woman was startling,” Mr Moonves said of the audience’s reaction to Ms Couric, who this month brought ratings for the CBS Evening News to a 20-year low.

He reiterated, however, that he was committed to Ms Couric and that he believed her programme would succeed in spite of its last place standing behind rivals ABC and NBC."

It seems like more of the emotional issues on this forum could be easily solved by acting logical. What are the best applications of logic to the problems you are now concerned about? - Live long and prosper.

a) Studies indicate that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 0.4. If a pack of cigarettes currently costs $2 and the government wants to reduce smoking by 20%, by how much should it increase the price?

b) If the government permanently increases the price of cigarettes, will the policty have a larger effect on smoking 1 year from now or 5 years from now?

c) Studies also find that the teenagers have highter price elasticity than do adults. Why might this be true?
