Social Science - 21 September 2007

I had a dream that I was riding my bicycle toward home when I was 1 street away by the forest(it was the same as here) and I heard this man in a truck urgently calling me" Lady excuse me lady, lady" and I stopped my bike and turned to look and he was parked right there behind me. I looked at him puzzled and said "Can I help you?" and he said "You are going to stay right there!" I couldn't move I just nodded in wonder and discomfort. Then I just woke up by my body jerking.(He had a familiar face I thought I had seen before but couldn't place and gray curly hair.)

I have a problem with committing to certain things. Like school and work. I seem to get bored easily or very critical and i'm wondering if it's something psychological.

One of the biggest issues men have with some branches of feminism (not all ) is there absolutley no effort to reduce collatarell damage . If a guy gets hurt in the process of gender strife no big deal.

A lot of men (not all ) try to be very specific about there gripes without inflicting collateral damge on women .

This probably one the biggest issues out there .There are many detractors to feminism becuase to be honest it is percieved as a blunt instrument of destruction rather than a surgeons sharp scalpel excising the cancer of gender hatred that pervades society today .

Take it and run . Comments ? Suggestions ? Opinions ?

Please try to be as precise as possible .

Many scientists believe that Homo Erectus eventually developed into humans, or Homo Sapiens. Scientists once thought that Neandethals were ancestors of modern humans but no longer do. These hominids appeared 200,000 years ago. They lived in caves of built shelters of wood of animal skins. At one time, they were thought to be rough and wild people. Now scientists think that they may have had religious beliefs. These people found ways to survive the freezing cold of the Ice Age. About 30,000 years ago, the Neanderthals strangely disappeared. About 10,000 years before these people vanished, the Cro-Magnons appeared. Their bodies were just like those of modern people. Scientists think that these people worked with one another in planning large scale hunts of animals. They may also had more skill at speaking than did the Neanderthals. B/C they had these skills, the Cro-Magnons were better at finding food. That may explain why Cro-Magnons survived and Neanderthals didn't.

So a while back I had pretty much dug my life into a hole and I thought it couldn't get any worse. Of course at 18 years of age I thought I was invincible and I was the most irresponsible little **** you could imagine. I finally ended up topping it all off with a freaking DUI. Now half a year later I did what I never thought would happen. I completely changed everything in my life around. I have my license back, my car back, my ged, and I'm a freshman in college. Life is great. I have nothing to worry about anymore and couldn't be happier. The DUI is not on my record but it is literally torturing me beyond anything I have ever been through. All the way to the point where it's interfering with my college which is very frustrating. I have to take a drug test every month. I cannot pee for anything with these people hovering over me and watching me. I am completely clean but I cannot pee. If they leave the room I can pee fine. If there in there I can't. *Additional details*

The first humans had faced a struggle for survival. For thousands and thousands of years, they has two concerns: finding food and protecting themselves. They used fire, built shelters, made clothes, and developed spoken language. These areas of life are all part of culture. Human culture changes over time as new tools replaced old and people tested new ideas. Later some modern humans increased the pace of change. The people who had lives in the early part of the Old Stone Age were nomads. They moved from place to place. They were hunter-gatherers. They found food by hunting and gathering nuts, berries, and roots. The Cro-Magnon people, who came later, made tools to help them in their search. These early modern humans used many tools more than 100 different ones. They used stone, bone, and wood. They made knives, hooks, and bone needles. Cro-Magnon people also created works of art, including paintings.

I've had the same dream a few times. It is a short dream but very vivid, almost like a vision:

******
I am in a heavenly place, surrounded with feelings of love, happiness, purity... then a child appears next to me. He is the most beautiful child I had ever seen. He has light-ish hair, lovely skin, the warmest smile, and he has a couple of angelic wings.
I reach out to draw him into an embrace and he puts his arms around me, resting his head on my breast.
He whispers, "I love you, mother."
I brush his hair back to kiss his brow, "My dear son... Lucifer."
*****

The dream never goes beyond that. I haven't dreamt about it again lately but I think about it all the time. I can't help wondering what it means to dream about being the mother of the antichrist, yet he is not the antichrist in the dream... he is an angel.
I suppose it makes some sense because Lucifer was originally a beatiful angel. But why do I appear as his mother, esp. when I never intended to have children?

US Congressional Committees have recommended that women be allowed to participate in all combat roles in the US military, but Congress refuses to implement the changes. When will we ever get equality with a Congress like this? When will we catch up with other countries?

News today: A Israeli military study calls for opening all combat roles to Israeli women, including women and men being required the same enlistment period of 3 years:
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/09/17/africa/ME-GEN-Israel-Women-in-Uniform.php

The article implies that women must meet the same standards as men, to be considered for combat roles; but they will no longer be automatically excluded from combat roles.

When will the US Congress allow US women to serve in all combat roles, that they are qualified for? And require women to register for selective service, like men?

I'm not being a troll I am trying to ask questions as they pretain to gender and equality. I present a logical argument and am not being offensive or personally attacking anyone.
The only conclusion I can come to is that you have no argument. Please correct me if I am wrong.

She murders her husband and claims abuse (as if that is a reason) because he 'made' her where some shoes she did not want to where/because he supposedly criticized her.
She was convicted and let go two months later and is now free and wants custody of her kids.
To me this should be a wake up call to every able minded person that there is something terribly worng with how men are treated. When a woman can get away with murder becasue he was critical and potentially win custody of her kids there is something worng.
Will all the true equalists out there agree with me inthat Mary should have been locked up for life if, not put to death?
If not, do you think that if a man shot his wife in the back with a shotgun, tore the phone line out, and left her there to bleed to death, that he would get away with it because he said she was a nag?

Brothers forgives me for bothering you with another question, but, I'm very curious and wanted to know. Have you ever try to be a positive influence and a strong role-model for other young boys? I'm pretty actives in Boy Scout and I often spend time helping out the boys in my neighborhood with their homeworks. My heart is fill with pride and joy to be around such a large group of strong and intelligent young boys that's going to grow up to be REAL MEN!.

I personally feel that it is our duty and our responsibility as Men to look out for the well being of other young boys out there. To protect them from crime, drugs and feminism. To help them getting a better education, teaching them the basic of Knighthood and how to be a REAL MAN!. I'm very passionate about this, because I want all young boys out there to have a bright future.

Your thought brothers?

Okay, first off, I'm not a Star Wars fan. I don't remember anything about my surroundings in this dream. The only thing I can recall is being corner, incredibly scared and literally feeling my soul being sucked away. There was nothing but sheer terror. I've never felt such a strong sensation before upon awakening.

Okay I was just wondering why so many couple are choosing not to get married but still living together and having kids?? This confuses me it pretty much requires the same level of commitment why not make it legal. I know brangelina says they wont get married til gays can but i don't think this is the answer for the majority. Can anybody in a similar situation help me understand this?

A question like this is probably better suited in a different category but gender and womens studies is so much more fun

I have really bad anxiety. I was trying to help this woman that was in an abusive relationship. Talked to her after work at a coffee shop a few times. Mostly just listened ( what I do best{listen})and warned her that he would escalate with the abuse. Had the biggest urge to kiss her then any girl before( Didn't thankfully) Now she wants to rebound on me and one day called me 3 times. Phone calls have stopped finally but has e-mailed me almost every day once if not twice. I have no responded to a single one this week. My friends say I should just use her. (Not that type of guy) for you know what. All I wanted to do is help now I can't stand her. She is just totally love drunk and just wants to rebound with me and jump right into a relationship. I not getting my heart ripped out again. No rebound relationships. So what do I do ignore her totally? I do see her everyonce in awhile at work. I really wish I never expressed myself with her. I only did it to see if I could to be honest.

Currently I am in a workplace with approximately 2/3 men and 1/3 women. Currently one woman throws temper tantrums adds sick days at the end of vacations, just alot of drama. Another woman is pretty cool but it seems she has no immune system. She was bitten by a single ant and now can't walk. Its just that last month it was something else. I don't work in a male ego environment, so its pretty peaceful...I know because I have been in those environments before. A previous woman working here had considerable animosity towards one woman. What's up with all the drama? Any thoughts?

I am not trying to be funny here I am serious, is feminism a facade for unhappy and un-attractive women to get together and share their hatred of all men. Isn't holding "All men" responsible for the actions of "Some men" Just like holding all black people responsible for a few black criminals? or holding all Jews responible because a few german jewish bankers were jerks after WW1? I hope I get one or two logical answers in between all the insults and misandry this is gonna generate.

I've had a recurring dream of flying ever since I was a little kid and it seems to keep coming back at 'meaningful' moments in my life. I started out flying on a jet-bike (like in Star Wars) when I was youngest, then afterwards as I grew older, I levitate as if in zero gravity environment, and afterwards, variations of levitation and flying. Sometimes I take off effortlessly, sometimes I have to jump a bit like Neo does. Sometimes I fly away from some form of danger, others I simply fly for the sheer joy of it. And all of it had been very lucid. Felt too good to be true, but while dreaming it felt utterly real to me. The joy is indescribable. "I think I can fly!" - Peter Petrelli.
