Social Science - 20 September 2007

Since I was a child, I would hear songs being played either on the radio or on my records/cds/tapes at home. And the songs would play over and over in my mind whenever I tried to concentrate on something, such as reading. I obviously had trouble reading books in high school, because every time I wanted to read, a song would come on in my mind, and there was no way to get rid of it. Period. I have "perfect pitch" and can hear the musicality in the songs EXACTLY as they are heard aloud.

For the past several years in my 32 years of living, this occurance began decreasing, and I was able to do things that once would have been impossible for me to do, like go to college and get straight As. However, now I'm having issues with this again. Why is my mind doing this, and what can be done to help alter it without medications?

The song stuck in my head right now is "Don't bring me down" by E.L.O. :-)

Hi again brothers, I always care deeply about Men rights and the being of Men.

Through out my school and college year, all that I ever hear about in some class room is "women rights", "women movement" and how men have "abuse" women blah..blah.. And other nonsensical crap. I think it is clear that the West have become too feminize and women focus. Not once did Men's right ever being mention.

Me and many of my male friends have talks about this, we feel that the Men movement should get a lot more attention. I know gentlemen like Happy_Snappy and mathewssh run fantastic website that talks about Men rights. But we need to make it so that Men rights get some attention in the media too.

So Gentlemen what can we do to make Men's rights more well known and acknowledge?

Do you feel we need to be a lot active and militant?

I have answered a few questions re virginity in Womens Health. Here is an example:
"And just saying so you know..Your hymen has nothing to do with virginity. A virgin is someone who has not had sexual relations with someone else. Period.

Using tampons might tear your hymen but it doesn't always. You can use tampons and not tear but you may stretch it. You can tear or wear your hymen from being active. And you may not know when it happens..there isn't always pain and bleeding.

And you may not have a hymen..some girls are born w/o it or with so little tissue it makes no difference.

Also many women don't bleed the first time they have sex because their hymen was torn or stretched and worn before. This is very common and happens from just living an active day to day life. Including using tampons sometimes."

I dont mean this in an offensive way.

But seriously, why do teenage girls end up in fits of uncontrolable of screaming and crying around boy bands. Its it a messed up chemical inbalance during puberty? a under developed ability to control there emotions, and project so much feeling to the idea of who a "boy band" is that there head goes pop when they meet them?

I am really curious what you guys think?

Thanks

Do most women believe that being bossy, confrontational, aggressive, egotistical, loud and stubborn are attractive traits?

This is the type of behavior a lot of feminists seem to encourage in women. And "real" men are expected to seek out women with these traits.

Some people say that dreams mean something. Sometimes people even have dreams about something that happens in the near future. I've always wondered why this happens--- is it because you subconsciously know it will happen (meaning you know it without really knowing it--- it's kind of something you can't really grasp) or do people REALLY sometimes have a sixth sense?

Some people actually think women are turning into Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, yet these women are very rich and famous, unlike nearly every other young woman in America. I meet young women every day who are responsible, caring, mature adults, working and paying their bills. Don't you think it's a myth that women are turning into wealthy, famous stars, with no job or responsbilities? Doesn't the average women work at a job, pay their bills, and no one hears about it?

In my dream I was walking through this field when up ahead there was a great commosion. As I approached I noticed a baby sitting there covered in blood and looking dazed as it looked at thier hands(which were missing fingers) in front of thier face. I wanted desperately to run to the baby and help but there were a bunch of ferocious dogs that kept circling the baby and would attack at me whenever I got close. I then awoke and just could not stop crying for that baby. What does this dream mean?
