Social Science - 5 October 2007

With an economy that is booming, second largest proven oil reserve (the largest by 8 times if you count the untapped sands), half of the world's fresh water, abundance of minerals, wood, an unstoppable dollar that makes the US look like a cheap Wal-Mart store, 4.9% unemployment, McDonald's paying $14/hour for hamburger flippers...etc.
Is it Canada's turn to live la vida loca?

I'm not a feminist, but why would a woman be an anti-feminist? I can understand why some men would be anti feminist, because they feel might feel that they are being unfairly treated or degraded, but why would a WOMAN want to be an anti feminist? When people died to get her vote? It kinda seems like they're just doing it to suck up to the men.

For example, I find myself still suspicious of men--I mean, as in strangers on the street. When I stop to ask myself why, I realize it's because of the feminist propaganda that every man is a potential rapist.

What is the principle use of this information ? How often is this survey conducted ? And on how many individuals ? What major trends have been detected, if any ? What are some of the stranger explanations people give to explain why they have this habit ? Do any animals have a related behavior ?

For those of you who don't know your personality types, go here:

The test is almost always accurate IF you answer truthfully. I am an INFJ, and almost everything said about the personality type is just like me. I get hurt easily and hide it, am a quiet person and hate being in crowds, even with my friends, and find it hard to explain my ideas and to people. What personality are you, and do you think it's right and why?

Why do women who claim to be proud of being women find it derogatory when someone calls them "woman?" Sometimes I use it with my friends or colleagues in a positive context e.g. "What a great idea, woman!" And they still take offense... If I say, "What are you talking about, man?" no man will get insulted. How can feminists advocate women rights if they think deep down women are inferior and being called "woman" is degrading?

I had this dream that my supervisor called me and told me not to worry about coming into work because of the roads being flooded. Then she calls me back and said get ready that she and the boss was coming to get me, well I went to the front door to go outside and the water level was waist deep, but the water never came in the house.....My supervisor and boss came in a boat to pick me up for work..lol.. when I got in the boat, my boss said hold on girls, and he was going so fast I thought I was going to die, The feel of the boat coming off the water was so weird feeling.. we got to our company and he had our office building sitting on big floats so that we could work..lol..
This was such a crazy dream, we haven't had any floods here so I don't know why I dream so crazy like that..lol.. any idea what this dream means..

I have a asked a similar question before. I'm asking again because I only got a few answers before.

There are some people that become obsessed and fixated on pointing out violations of rules (whether these be formal laws or just violations of social norms or ethical/moral laws), enforcing these rules, pointing out flaws, etc. They are often holier than thou, self righteous, tattlers that are constantly moralizing and putting value judgments on seemingly every action or object. They often have a black and white, all or nothing attitude in terms of what is right or wrong, good or bad. They constantly condemn people and are extremely uptight. It seems as if their whole existence is dedicated to being a self appointed judge of all people and things. They disapprove of just about everything and everyone and will often try to spread their disapproving attitude toward one person around to other people.

Based on this character sketch, can you tell me how someone becomes this way?

With a '' Dream Out Breath.''Am I right please. The unconnected Dreams are the extremes to get noticed by each individual '' the Body's stress '' or due to Control of Feelings building pressure inside.

I've been to a number of different therapists to help me with my depression. The funny thing is, I tell them all the same thing, and they all tell me something different.

How much of what psychyatrists see in a person is reflective of the psychyatrists themselves?

Rio recently said something regarding degradation and sex about the women needing to be 100% willing. Of course, I agree with her. All decent people should agree with the message of, "No means no", but here I am more concerned about "yes".

Whether in an encounter or a lengthier relationship, is there some way that you let men know whether you are "100%" as opposed, perhaps to thinking you're settling, feeling disappointed and resentful toward him, and believing you deserve better?

If I am with a woman and discover she felt this way, I feel like I've used and taken advantage of her. And I've had women tell me as much.

Is there some way to avoid taking advantage of women in this way, apart from celibacy? Is there some way to know early on, rather than after the fact?

I always think of things and imagine. But somehow, I rarely find the time to write. I am not sure if I can keep a notebook and write anywhere and anytime I would like because of how busy I am. When I do have spare time, I would not be in the mood to write or the ideas have left my mind. I would like to know some tips if you could share some. Thank you. :D

While America seems to be great at acknowledging human rights problems and violence in other societies, are they afraid to admit and fix problems closer to home?? Are Americans living in denial, while letting the giant corporations and government keep them busy as consumers? Is this the ideal society that all developing countries should copy?

it was punishment by other people unknown to you....they were controlling things so that didnt happen...so people stayed away from you and avoided you........were told not to interact with you.........all the beautifull girls you saw were given instructions to never get involved with you or communicate with you...
how would you deal with this if this was the case....if such a cruel thing befell you all your life?
would you feel extremely angry and want to find those responsible for influencing people to stay away from you and ostracize you?

im a 30 year old bpd sufferer, whos had a traumatic life, bullying and abuse....never formed any friends or relationships.....so i sometimes, in my low darkest moments, find myself thinking things like this
