Did you ever think of that? I mean if you want to influence someone's opinion about feminism trust me...you are.

I get in from school and I came here and read the nasty stupid things that the anti-feminists say and I read the things that Thinking men and women say and I am soo impressed.

And I have to say that seeing the interesting and intelligent women who are here is so cool! You are wonderful! :)

is it just that the general population that uses yahoo answers is THAT stupid/gullible? I don't get it. Why do so many people actually think an obviously trolled question is real?

Seriously.. what exactly do women do to attract a man they like besides look good? How do they win him over and get him interested in them?

I really want women to tell me what else they do besides looking pretty. If the answer is 'nothing' please be honest and say 'nothing'.

Just a question for the experts. I'm aware you can project your anxieties into a false emobiment, like the rabbit in Donnie Darko, but can you really see things? Like your mind playing tricks on you?

Hi.

Normally I only dream about happy things, but lately i've been having very weird dreams, or nightmares..

In the dreams im usually together with some friends at at party or in a location, not always from real life. The strange things are that my friends or people i know, have no faces..
They talk to me with a special tone, and people who stand behind me laugh, like they know something about me that I don't.
I also seem more aggressive and uninformed (confused) when waking up, because i often participate in fights in my weird dreams.. In everyday and party life i never start or fight anyone, because i don't want trouble, only want to have a good time.

But now i feel more like, that if anyone hassels me alot, or does stuff repeatively to me that i clearly do not want, I think to my self (this is completely new) that i could just beat the hell outta them, then they wouldnt bother me anymore.

What does this mean?? Am i growing into a psychiopath with no identity ?

Some Psychologists criticize Gardner's work with Washoe by suggesting that the chimpanzee's only learned to imitate gestures and did not learn a language as the Gardner's claimed.
- Give 2 pieces of evidence that suggest that Washoe uses a language

2. Two training methods which Gardner adopted to encourage Washoe to use sign language?

3. Why the Gardner's used deaf adults to check Washoe's signs?

Please thanks for your help!

...if you try to harm someone, you end up causing harm to yourself?

for example:
resisting the temptation to eat chocolate/cake when it's infront of you and free;
staying under the shower after changing it from warm onto the coldest setting:
eating something you hate the taste of.

Last night I had a troubling dream of a dear friend who died 7 years ago when we were 16. In my dream I was the age I am now, but everyone else, including my friend, was seven years younger. my friend was alive in the dream as well. I had the knowledge I have now and tried to tell my friend not to come visit me, he would die on the way (that is how he died in real life- coming to see me). He came to see me anyway as he did in real life. In the dream, everything happened the way it really did, but I was older and I knew it was coming. The dream was not as if I was remembering, it was as if it were happening again, but he is already dead and has been for years.
In the dream I was with his family when they heard he died (in real life I was at home by myself). I kept trying to comfort his family, but I was no help. My heart broke in the dream as it did in real life. I didn't have any experiences that made me think of him yesterday any more than normal. What do you think this dream means?

I personally believe in the old saying"What goes around comes around", . I let God take care of it but it doesn't mean that I'm not tempted!

my neighbors girls are 8 & 10, I suspect something wrong with the way the father treats them...they just moved in a few months ago, the father is from Guatamala and the mother is white, she just had a new baby right wwhen they moved in. Now she is back to work during the day and the father works at night and stays at home w/ the baby during the day. Anyway, I drive the girls to school along w/ my daughter and this morning they didn't come to my door as usual, so my daughter went over there and the girls said there father was screaming at them and they were crying, and that the father would take them to school. Last night I was over there talking w/ the mother and left my phone there, so this morning I went back ther after I took my daughter to school and the girls answered the door, you could see their faces were red and they were upset, i asked them if they we're going to school and they said they were staying home sick. My daughter told me that the father has choked the 10 yr old,?

I notice that most of the dreams that i can remember are in fact vivid ones where i'm able to describe colours of objects, the people present in my dreams etc. Then if i am interested in its interpretation I will quickly write the dream down in my dream diary.

What does it mean if you are able to have such vivid dreams? Someone said that vivid dreams can be linked to astral projection and wrote:
" I get the feeling that you may have been astral traveling/projecting during your dream"

I am breifely famair with the concept of astral traveling/projection and also believe it can be true - do you think that I was astral projecting and if so what does it tell me?
