Whant can we do to save the only home we've got. AThere is so much going on: global warming, slavery, starvation, domestic violence, un-curable diseases, money problems. Is there a way to make it end? And why does it happen. I am deeply sorry if this question has offended anyone.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT FROM THE CHIMPS
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1541283-4,00.html

Although the news was largely overshadowed by the impact of Hurricane Katrina... the publication of a rough draft of the chimp genome in the journal Nature immediately told scientists several important things. First they learned that overall, the sequences of base pairs that make up both species' [i.e., humans and chimps] genomes differ by 1.23% - a ringing confirmation of the 1970 estimates -- AND THAT THE MOST STRIKING DIVERGENCE BETWEEN THEM OCCURS, INTRIGUINGLY, IN THE Y CHROMOSOME PRESENT ONLY IN MALES.

There it is in black and white girls. Men are more evolved than women. Women are more like chimps than men are.

Maybe THAT is the reason for the stereotype that women are inferior. Because genetically speaking - THEY ARE.

What does this mean for feminism?

In my dream, I saw my husband and brother being mauled by a bear. I tried everything in my power to stop it, but was ineffective. I woke up so exhausted and upset because I felt hopeless and useless. I kept shouting "shoot the bear, shoot the bear" to the circus staff. No one helped -- instead eveyone watched in horror as they were being mauled. It felt so real and horrifying. I wanted to go inside the cage, but can't get in.

A few nights ago, I had a dream about an ex-boyfriend that I cared deeply about (and still do). The dream was set in a college-like setting (I'm currently going to college part-time). It was the first day of classes and I was on my way to class when I saw him down the hall (oddly dressed in the same outfit my husband was wearing that day...). When I saw him, I screamed "OMG! What are you doing here?" and ran to hug him. We caught eachother and gave each a mighty and firm hug. I walked with him to his class and said that we need to talk afterwards and he said ok and he would call me. I said ok even though I knew that he wouldn't call me. I ran to my class and felt like I was torn between being happy and disappointed about the meeting. What does this mean? I'm kinda weirded out because my husband and I had some trouble simular to this a while back and I dont know if I might have said something in my sleep about it or not (I'm not prone to talking in my sleep but I've done it before..)

Because i have tendencies to try to please everyone and i constantly need to be loved and I am afraid to be alone. so if you have been in a violent relationship and you had the strength to leave. type you name and pat yourself on the back because thats amazing.

Seeing as how most products are "Made in China" or elsewhere... How does this play on the American economy?? Why is everything "Made in China", to begin with and how would Americans benifit is we were making our own products ???

Most "Made In U.S.A." labeled items are generally composed of "Made In China" products and parts... How do we get the right to label them?? Isn't that improper labeling??

Please provide sources if possible.
Thanks muches.

Freud asserted that it is the libidinal ties which unify the members of the crowd. Smelser asserts that collective behavior occurs when people perceive that there is no other means to attain the desired goal.in his opinion, collective behavior arises when the normal institutions do not help.

Lets face it: as human beings, we can accomplish many things...but I believe willpower is the basis that allows us to go far in life.

I would like to learn how to develop your own willpower, because everyone wants to be a bigshot, eh?

I frequently hear men say that they are visually sexual, meaning some aspect of their biology relies on visual stimulus for sexual arousal. Some point to the diverse marketing of women's bodies as evidence of this. The statement seems do shun the "nurture" side of the nature V nurture argument, so I am curious: Does science lend any credence to some biologically visual development in human male sexuality?

Last week I had a dream that I saw a horrible plane crash, and just last night I dreamt I was trapped in a house and there were terrible tornadoes all around me. The dreams were very vivid and detailed! I woke up in a sweat, thinking that they really happened!

Some background information about myself - I am 5 months pregnant and also getting married next week. Are these dreams forecasting anything for me?

ok my b/f of 3 years mother just passed away. he is taking it really hard which is understandable...its just when it happend he didnt want me to leave his side and then the past couple of days he dosent want to talk to me or see me, he will see his friends and talk to them but when it comes to me he pushes me aside. i know hes grieving i am too but i would think since i was there for the whole time she was sick and became part of the family he would need me...or at least want to talk to me. we handle gried differently he dosent want to talk about it and i do, but i havent said anything about it or how i feel i just listen to him and comfort him, so am i doing somthing wrong? is this just how he is taking it? i just feel even more alone, me and his mom were close and i cant even be with someone who i love and who loved her too...
