Social Science - 4 October 2007

Here are some facts forwarded to me by email by some colleagues:

"I heard through the grapevine about a remark made on an episode of
> "Desperate Housewives" last night. The scene entailed Teri Hatcher's
> character (Susan) at a hospital, being told by her gynecologist
> that she might be hitting menopause. Susan replied, "Can I just
> check those diplomas because I just want to make sure that they are
> not from some med school in the Philippines." If you go to abc.com,
> you can watch the full episode and witness the scene at about 18:50
> minutes into the episode."

"Accdg to one Filipino client of ours, Teri Hatcher actually asked for non-Filipino nurses/doctors when she was in a CA hospital. The hospital admin told her she has to look for another hospital, since everyone who had anything to do with patients was Filipino. Apparently this line is HER OWN AD LIB, based on her REAL-LFE FRUSTRATION that she not be touched or cared for by Filipinos... "

I am on a waiting list of 2 years to start nursing school and thought I would get an associates in psychology in the meantime as I wasn't sure of which profession I wanted; nursing or therapist. But I don't want a "throw away" degree. What can I do with it?

There's a lot of effort from the anti-feminists to get feminists to do non-actionable things to make things better and more fair, like pointing out inconsistencies, fallacies, and double-standards and hoping they'll take note. I know I'm doing the opposite of preaching to the converted, but I thought I'd give this question a try anyway.

My mum's under the impression that drinking kills brain cells, I believe this too, but I believe whatever you lose, you can grow back? I mean why not, I don't know how correct I am, please do correct me if I'm wrong for anything I say, thus why I'm doing this; but I want to know if some really smart people in history have been alcoholics, or drink a lot, if you can... it's not compulsuary, but can find refrences or 'sources' as the term is used on this site. Thanks.

I have heard a lot fo people claim lately "All people fear death..."
And that is not true. Because I dont fear death. Whats the point in fearing something that is coming no matter what you do?

Yes, I would prefer to not die in PAIN I would prefer to not die TOMORROW, but I dont fear it.

Who else does not fear their dying day?
Who does?

Woke up on the wrong side of the bed and were really moody? Just wondering if a lot of people have had this experience. Today I woke up really cranky. The problem is I can't even point a finger at just one reason why I am mad. I just have had a few things stressing me out and today I woke up mad about everything. Being stuck and traffic just added to my frustration. I went to get me a cup of coffee and some breakfast. Hopefully that helps.

Say someone was born without a brain. Would they have died? Or would they just have been paralyzed? I know this may be a stupid question but I'm not thinking straight. D:

In the animal kingdom... are female animals treated the same way as their male counterparts? Or is one gender always more superior than the other?

Since humans are really just animals with the biggest pair of brains... and we are all born with animal insticts... what makes some feminists think there will ever be equality?

Can you name a specie of animal/insect that has total male-female equality?

I need 1-2 stories from the Bible that have to do with Friends and Family; but not The Last Supper.

If u cant write out the entire story, just the chapter will suffice.
Thanks

I'm not referring to extremes here, I'm talking about incidence. Do men or women have a higher incidence of having a messed-up romantic relationship be hard to get over because of what the other person did during the relationship and/or is doing after the relationship?

Ok, many men are angry over some of the unfairness in their lives, whether it is to do with losing money in divorces, losing kids, having next to nil reproductive rights and so on, but have noticed that many men just want their efforts appreciated and want respect as well.
So, what are some of the things that you, as a man want respect and appreciation for?
