I've fallen in a deeper depression than usual and I find myself wanting sex less and less. I'm only 19 and my girlfriend thinks its her but its hard to explain to her how my depression affects me in many aspects of my life. Is this a common symptom of severe depression?
I've been diagnosed with clinical depression and social anxiety.

Based on my research I was under the impression that the Fed Reserve is privately owned.. But this is the response I recieved "The Federal Reserve System is not privately owned. Like every other federal department it does business with and through private institutions. Fed net revenues are rebated to treasury - not paid in dividends to shareholders so it is not a "for profit" business. Inflation rates have been lower and more stable in the last 30 years than most of history. All banks create money out of nothing. M1 - the amount of currency and federal bank guarantees in the economy has not grown substantially since the early1990s."

Is this accurate?

I have observed from watching porn that when the guy chokes, slaps, spits on and generally abuses the woman, she becomes wilder and makes the sex a LOT more pleasurable for the guy.

Even the women seem to enjoy this more, than the gentler, kinder love-making.

Does this tradition just divide the social order in high schools across the nation? What are your thoughts about this tradition, whether you're for or against it? All thoughtful answers are good in this interesting debate.

I've always hankered after the glory and pride that comes with being awarded a medal (or trophy), but I'm too bone-idle and incompetant to achieve this.

Is there an easy way to legitimately earn such a prize?

From a Feminist Blogger: Either we're too ugly to get a man and so we turn to feminism (and cats), or we're too pretty to be taken seriously. Often it's some combination of both.

A feminist blogger stated that she doesn't know a single feminist blogger who doesn't get rape threats posted in her blog (before they block them) like "I'm 98% sure that she should be raped." If those posting rape threats are blocked, these feminist bloggers are targeted by other blogs that post hundreds of rape messages and threads about raping them, and proceed to post the feminist blogger's pictures, personal information and their movements.

I don't consider threatening people with rape free speech, it's hate speech. What will it take so men and women can discuss feminist issues without being threatened with rape?

The fault divorce could still be in place for the serious situations. Just remove no-fault divorce so it's not so easy and people (in general) would need to marriage more seriously.

I'm considering moving to Joliet, IL soon because we have a contract pending on our house and we need to decide on a place soon. Found a nice place in Joliet, however it is a somewhat crime-ridden town and has a bad reputation in the Chicagoland area. In my dream I see snakes not poisonous but rather garden snakes crawling around the house, and in the garage area I come across a box of dead snakes. What does this mean? I have read on hyperdictionary.com that snakes are indictative of self-renewal and positive changes while also being indicative of fear and apprehension?

My husband had a "friend" (female employee from work) who he can't stay away from and has continously lied about not talking to her, etc. He is seeking her out or she is seeking him out. This has been going on for a year. I don't believe their relationship status is "just friends". I have since kicked him out of the house. I feel a little better not having to see him. Anyway one night I had a cycle of dreams of killling her over and over again. One instance I tied her down to a board and gutted her and shoved her guts down her throat telling her to die b*tch die! When she started choking on her stomach. I looked her in the eyes and I sarcastically said, "Aww-are you choking and can't breathe? Let me help you." I then slit her throat, blood sprayed everywhere, and I pulled her guts through the wound in her throat. I don't see it as having nightmares because I did enjoy it and felt better when I woke up. Anger issues or just a dream. Thoughts?

People on here, especially the Yahoo Staff steal points, what a bunch of children, and because of this childish behavior on their part, they are going to lose a very large commercial account with their partner, AT&T! Hmmm!

That ought to make them happy campers!

Who else is tired of these silly games that the staff loves to play?

I wonder what kind of work they intend to be doing because they no longer have jobs with Yahoo?

opinions please?

U.S. polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs was convicted on Tuesday of being an accomplice to rape for arranging a marriage between an unwilling 14-year-old girl and her 19-year-old first cousin.

Jeffs, the self-described "prophet" of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, spent 15 months on the run and was on the FBI's Most Wanted list before his arrest in August, 2006.

In tearful testimony, the victim said she begged Jeffs not to marry her to her cousin, whom she did not like. Jeffs had told her it was her religious duty to give herself to her husband, and instructed her to repent and submit to his will.

The woman, whose identity was not disclosed during her trial, said she wanted to die after her husband first forced her into sex.

Jeffs could get just 5 years for helping a 14 year old girl get raped. This is US equality?

There has been quite a few polls and research done concerning how many women physically pleasure themselves.
With the results stating that over 60 percent do.
Yet if a man was to ask a woman if they did, the usual answer is no. I have asked women friends these questions and have only ether had one affirmative answer. As far as I'm concerned and I think most men will agree it's no big deal. So why the discrepancy? Why can't a woman admit to doing so, when it is quite natural.

A judge gave a lighter prison term to a rapist who raped prostitutes at gunpoint. As the judge sentenced the rapist, according to the appeals court ruling, the judge said the sex acts were against the victims' will only because they didn't get paid, & prostitutes were "a far cry from the innocent rape victim" that lawmakers envisioned when deciding the severe penalties for the crime.

The judge gave the rapist, nine years on each rape charge & ordered that the sentences be served at the same time -- though prison terms for separate violent crimes are typically added together -- & added a mandatory 10 years for McKee's use of a gun.

A three-judge appeals court panel rejected the judge's "reasoing" & also rejected many of the rapist's claims, inincluding an assertion that his crimes were more like robbery than rape, & that prostitutes are not as traumatized by rape as other victims.
