Social Science - 24 September 2007

Like when a person begins having negative thoughts that they know not to be true, like if they look at picture that they know is beautiful, they begin to start questioning it's beauty, and worrying about not finding it beautiful. They start thinking they NEED help from someone else in order to overcome them asap, even though they contain enough info to fix the problem(if there is one) on their own. My question, is overthinking a form of false thinking? Something that play tricks with your mind?

Thank you.

On the August 20 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, discussing comments made by White House senior adviser Karl Rove about Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (NY), Rush Limbaugh claimed that "nobody criticizes Hillary. ... Well, you might say, 'No, Michelle Obama and Mrs. Edwards are out there criticizing her,' but, see, I finally figured this one out, too. You can't hit the girl. You just -- you can't hit the girl."

He added: "But the drive-bys" -- a term Limbaugh uses to denote the mainstream media -- "aren't taking that seriously, because Hillary's the inevitable candidate."

Hmm I thought Hillary was criticized quite a bit, do you think Clinton isn't being critized since "she's a girl"? Why or Why not? http://mediamatters.org/items/200708210002

Does it mean the ability to grasp concepts easily? Is it the amount of knowledge you know? Is it how well you remember the knowledge you've gained over the years? Is it learning from your past mistakes? Is it the potential knowlege you can gain? What do you consider it to be?

What do you do to cheer yourself up when you're overwhelmed?

As for me, I just try and put everything into perspective and ask myself, "Will this matter to me in 5 years?" If not...then don't stress.

Aren't what other people do in their lives apart of your business in an indirect way? Let's say someone get's drunk at a club and decides to take to wheel and get on the road. The same road you're driving on comin' from work. Isn't that your business all of a sudden? A few minutes ago this person going to a club and havin' a good time, was non of concern, nor should it have been. But my has that changed in an instant. This person is your buisness now. That guy having an affair with your wife and on his. Now that guy's life has impacted yours! A complete stranger who's life you had no business with a day or 2 ago has so much ifluence. Him havin' a good marriage probably would have benefited you a lot more. But now. . .

Really in many ways what strangers are doing their life, do kind effect you some how. Maybe not all of the time, but many of the times. So saying it's non of your buisness. . in many ways is it not?

THOUGHTS?

Are there really gays or lesbians? aren't gays the sissy version of a guy and lesbians are strong masculine version of a women? So hypothetically, why wouldn't the gay sissy guy be with the masculine women, since you say it's all about hormones, gene expression, and heriditary, which seem to be why lesbians and gays exist? or is homosexuality just an excuse or a personal preference of hiding what they really feel? or a weakness they can't seem to click with the right type, cuz they lost their determination?

Seriously, what do you think?

on TV I always hear when they say weaker gender as women and who ever says that on the TV, they dont mean anything wrong. like if someone makes a show about modeling and in the show someone uses the word weaker gender as women. but I didnt heard that once, I heard that through all of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not deaf!!!!! I can hear better than anyone, I had my hearing tested and I hear like cats. in all those shows about modelling or anything connected with women, someone in the show said weaker gender but he or she didnt meant anything wrong. so I learned from the TV and I said how fragile women are and I was already attacked by feminists. I wasnt around women before but now I am, so then I must be stupid if I see women as something fragile that needs to be treated gently. am I and all those people on the TV stupid cause we used the words weaker gender?

Do you believe in the theory of evolution pertaining to us human beings being direct descendants of primates? Yes we do share 98 % of the same dna, but seriously what happened to all the monkeys that did not evolve?? They must be duds??? LOL--Sorry, It is obsurd to me, all though I do believe there is an adaptability factor with in certain enviroments as far as interesting species of animals go, but we people with our 98 % DNA shared still have the 2 % that renders us a different species-do you agree??? Talk to me with your 2% reasoning abilities and open mindness ;) Let's see what you have to say on the matter...........Thanx!

My wife is the one working and i've been out of a job for 2 years...i'm a house husband. How does this make you feel?

Do you feel that it should be the wife who should stay at home and take care of the kids/make food and i should work just because I'm the man and she belongs in the kitchen? how do you view that stereotype?

not stupid like being idiotically stupid, but stupid in regular things. I said something about how women are fragile and feminists were already judging me. then I made a video and put it on you tube and I was judged again. it wasnt anything wrong in the video, I was being an activist about some issue!!!! then on some forum I said something about hair that black women have and people called me a racist. what did I said wrong? I heard that many black women have frizzy hair, so I said something but people understood as racism. I'm not a racist!!!! then I thought that I had an excellent idea for something good to do, but people didnt even bothered listening to me or I was judged again. and there were many things when I only wanted to be good, but people were judging me.

...America stopped buying mideast and Venezuelan oil ?

Yeah, I know, 12 dollar a gallon gas doesn't sound too appealing but would it force our government and corporations to fund projects seeking alternative energy sources or would it simply allow non-participating countries the boon of cheap energy while we suffer.

..or would it just give the arabs another reason to tell us to "go pound sand" ?
