when i was with my last boyfriend he told me he didnt want to do anything with me because he felt i was too young at the time i was 15 and he was 17, anyway his friend told me even if he said he didnt want to do anything he would be tempted, eventually we ended up going further and doing everything but all the way, he didnt want to sleep with me but he often did things like prodding my leg with his c***, and things like asking me to sit up and down on it when i was fully clothed..lol he said he was against sleeping with me but im not sure why he was doing things like that to hint it? i was just curious!

After reading the question from the guy in India who wants to marry his first cousin, I started thinking about why I have no sexual desire for any of my female relatives.

I have a niece and a first cousin who are in their late teens. They're both hot, but my cousin is Miss America quality.
She's prettier than most girls I've ever dated, but I don't have fantasies of her and I in bed. When I was a little kid, I had a crush on a 12 years older girl relative whose great grandmother and my great grandmother were first cousins. That means we don't share enough of the same DNA to cause potential birth defects.

My question: Is there a biological sense that keeps us from being attracted to relatives who share too many of the same DNA in order to prevent birth defects? Most animals, humans included, usually resort to incest if there's not much choice in mates. Therefore, risky birth is better than no offspring at all
OR, are we just drilled from birth into believing it's wrong?

Who are you?

What do you believe in?

What is your life about?

Do you have a significance in a person's life?

Who are you?

believe me it takes a lot to scare me, i literally lose sleep over this thought

what if when you die, there is no reincarnation, no heaven, hell or anything ... just pitch black .. you can hear yourself getting buried everything, you can hear people at your funeral ... then pitch black and silence for all eternity just laying there and you cant move no matter how hard you try (if you ever had sleep paralysis you would know what im talking about)

doctors proved that after you die the last thing to disapear is your hearing ... basically you can hear for half an hout after you die .. then you "move on" ...what if .. you can still hear but the scanners we have now cant pick up those diluted and faint brainwave signals.

isnt that literally the scariest thing

I think most people are only a few ticks away from turning into monsters. Our history is filled with murders, rapes, wars, witch trials, slavery, executions, and people being killed for entertainment. In our modern culture people thrive on seeing celebrities in trouble. I mean when you really come to understand it you realize that you are smack dab in the middle of a planet filled with crazed murderous lunatics. …does that ever worry anyone else? Knowing at the drop of a hat everyone could lose their danged mind.

I am upset with a family member and don't want the bad mood to continue, so I was wondering if anyone is skilled in cognitive behavior and if so, how to dissolve my negative feelings right now.

Here's a web site displaying pictures and captions of the 12 Signs of Fascism, with Rampant Sexism being one of the 12 signs: http://mvp-seattle.com/Pages/pageFascism.htm

Rampant Sexism is defined by this site as:
"Governments of fascist states tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Traditional gender roles are made even more rigid and exaggerated.

Condemnation of abortion and a virulent homophobia are commonly built into broad policy."

Which of the 12 Fascist signs do you see present in our society, and why do you think it is important?

Here's the introduction from the Official Shrub web site about the "We Can't be Equal While..." list:


Warning: The following post is a list that links to many examples of why the idea that we Westerners live in a genderblind society, meaning that we have achieved total equality, is a myth. And if you are a man who reads this list and thinks that women should stop “whining” about the “small stuff” then you are just proving the point that this list is trying to make.


We Can’t Be Equal While: Part 1: Gender Roles
-Men are the default and women are the Other (and therefore lesser).
-Being called “girly” or a “sissy” or “*ussy” are some of the worst insults you can give a man.
-When a woman shows confidence in herself, she is said to have *alls, or conversely she is a man-eater, *all-buster, or a *itch because she was too assertive.
-Men are beat up, ridiculed, or made fun of for being effeminate and women are beat up & ridiculed for being masculine

if we don't fear God..we could sin..so we are told that we must fear Him...in some respects obviously...

but..if i tell a man ''i don't do this , i am afraid God will punish me''- the man could say.. that i am mad..meaning..some phobias..pthopaths ...

Whose name is greater on the Earth then the name of God?

Only He has the right to say who is mad and who is not.

A few posters claim US feminists have it all locked up in the good ole USA and equality is reigning the nation (I disagree); then they claim US feminists aren't focusing on global equality issues, like they should (hmm curious how people who aren't active in a movement and do what they can to run it down, feel they have the right to tell others how to run the movement).

So what global equality issues have US feminists been working on, and why are they important?

Last night I has the the weirdest dream. I was hanging out with my friends from elementary school. And my friends older brother was putting snakes everywhere and it made it really hard for me to walk because I`m scared of snakes. I was trying to get somewhere, I`m not sure where but the snakes were blocking my way. That`s all I remember so could anyone help me understand this dream? And I don`t need the meaning of snake in a dream I need an interpretation because it`s really bothering me. I haven`t seen these frinds for almost 10 years because I moved away and I usually have dreams that involve snakes and I`m teriffied of them. Thank you in advance.

Just thinking about the way a lot of masculine values have been suppressed in today's society and replaced with feminized values, for example:

freedom replaced by security
justice replaced by compassion
logic replaced by emotion
suppressing emotions replaced by emotional expression
objectivity replaced by subjectivity

Bill Maher listed a few in his video on feminism:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z8j4QJ0oiY&NR=1

feelings more important than fact
commitment more important than individuality
sensitivity is more important than truth
children more important than people
safety is more important than fun

What are some more masculine values that have been suppressed in today's society and what are the feminized values they have been replaced with? What masculine values do you think have been suppressed to the effect of alienating men in today's society?
