Do you like women better who wear skirts or dresses, are they considered prettier and more feminine than
those so-called women who wear pants?

Do you think women who wear pants slightly come off as Tom boyish or even Lesbian? Just curious as to what the
guys think.



If you saw a man wearing a dress, what would you call him? You would have no trouble knowing
that it was wrong, it is no more of an abomination for a man to wear a dress than it is for a woman to
wear a pair of pants. But we have been conditioned by the world and erring brethren that a pair of pants
is a good and acceptable thing for a woman to wear today.

Why do I have such horrid short term memory? I mean with long term, I'm fine. But my short term just isn't worth crap imo. For example, I could place something on a table and think I'll come back for it in a second, then I completely forget about it----which causes me to lose a lot of valuable things...:(

What can I do to get better short term memory? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I have read that narcissists lack empathy, but do they also lack a conscience?

Education is paramount when it comes to being able to fix the problems plaguing us in today's world. However, environmental issues such as global warming, issues over the war in Iraq, terrorism, and problems regarding health and personal safety are difficult for people to evaluate without feeling the fear of what they know. The fear can even become the source of apathy. People often believe what you don't know won't hurt you, but it can. You must somehow develop the ability to distinguish between living with a heightened awareness of circumstances without becoming too afraid and paranoid as well as ensuring others don't quickly call you paranoid because of what you know but they do not. But that doesn't answer my question. How do we get people to distinguish between living with a heightened awareness and being fearfully paranoid?

I drive a sales route for a living and everything is fine until I go back to the company warehouse at the end of the day. The last 45 minutes I do some paperwork and load my truck for the next day. I know it's only 45 minutes, but I always feel like shi*. Everyone else is yacking it up and I'm the quiet guy with nothing to say. I barely talk to anyone, unless they say something to me first and I'm pretty sure I've already been labeled as the "outcast" by my co-workers. But, I'm naturally shy, so I really can't help it. Is it such a crime to just do your job and leave without being Mr. Talkative? What do you guys think?

I am from Omaha, Nebraska and attending the University of Nebraska at Omaha. The question was posed to our class after seeing statistics of median income for Canadians. The median was around 50,000, but in the territories it was from 65,000 to 83,000. Why is this?

This was inspired by the "why do women show their cleavage" question. To which I would like to respond "why is this a big deal? Personally, I barely notice a little cleavage, provided it stops short of a nipple popping out. And yet, I see so many questions asking why do women wear this?? Why do women wear that?? Undoubtedly followed by "she must not respect herself! "That must be all she has going!" Really...seems like a lot to read into a shirt.

Do we need to psychoanalyze any woman who's not completely covered from neck to toe?

So for all you women, how do you stay feeling good about your bodies? How do you feel about the body you've been given? Do people criticize you? Do you shake it off?
Do you think things like this are good for everyone today?

[I'm 18yrs old] I've been trying to resolve my shyness for quiet a while now, and still looks like im the hole, today I have come to the conclusion that one of the strongest points of my shyness is my low self-steem, i dont talk/talk low because im scared of someone making fun of my adcent , i always take a look at my clothes to check for any stain, i dont talk to very social friends because i feel kinda inferior than them, when i hear someone laugh when i pass by them i think they are laughing at me, and i always avoid participation in something. These are the main thing i see, but i know there are more, Evryday i try to look confident by walking straight, chin up, and barely look down, but inside im still the low-self steem self, Im trying to beat this but i dont have support, [ithink] i need someone to push me, someone that check my progress, My goal is to beat it because im really scared of this affecting my future.

It's becoming a new trend for woman to to wear low cut tops exposing their cleavage. Is it really necessary? Do they think people will appreciate them better for exposing themselves?

Why do they do it?

My English teacher spoke of a condition in class that sounded like "McCollum's syndrome" or something similar. It's when a person is kidnapped and at first hates their captors and their cause, but after a while becomes sympathetic to their cause after spending so much time in captivity with them. Please help, I want to mention this condition in my paper for tomorrow and look smart :) Thanks

I just saw an ant outside as I was getting home, and couldn't help but wonder how long ago we shared a common ancestor. We're both eukaryotes, although I'm a chordate and she's an arthropod. We're both coelomates, however. The first coelomates were the Vernanimalcula, which lived some 580 to 600 million years ago. Be that as it may, humans' ancestors (or those organisms that would one day branch off into primates) and insects' ancestors (those that would become arthropods) might have more recent ancestry of only a few hundred million years.

I'd invite the ant in for an extended family get-together, but I wanted to know who are most recent ancestor was first. It'd make for good conversation at our next family reunion. ;)

Another poster brought up an interesting point, he said this:

"Since they’re equal to men you don’t need to compliment their looks, buy them flowers, open their doors, pay for dates, remember special dates, or carry their heavy stuff. Men don't care about any of that.

Plus, since they’re independent, they don’t want your “time & attention” during baseball, football, or basketball season. So, you can watch your games whether she's around or not and save your cash."


If feminist were truely about equality... the statements above would be true. This just shows how strong biology is... Even when a woman is a feminist.. she still needs some of that "special treatment" to feel good or cared for.

Despite the best efforts of Adam Smith and the rest of Classical economics, Mercantilism, governmental interference in the economy for the benefit of specific parties at the expense of others, was not relegated to the history books during the 19th century. Instead, Neo-Mercantilists emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, such as "Neo-Classical" and Keynesian economics. After the Federal Reserve, itself a Mercantilist program, caused the Great Depression by inflating the money supply, the Neo-Mercantilists successfully blamed laissez-faire for the Depression even though their economic fallacies were responsible. So, we have seen an unrestricted expansion of Mercantilism for the last 7 or 8 decades with no end in sight.

Why have the discredited fallacies called Mercantilism that were debunked by Classical and Austrian economists survived to this day? Why haven't they disappeared into the history books yet?

I see a lot of mentioning of God being a man or woman. I believe sometimes this is used to argue the superiority of one gender over another--so my question is, what gender do you think God is and who did you come to that conclusion?

I'm agnostic, so I don't have an opinion.

I notice many of the feminist women here claim that men are ugly, unattractive, and that the male figure is "not as aesthetically beautiful as the female figure". Then there are the pseudo-poet feminists here that talk about how they are not attracted to a man's looks, but rather his "mind", "soul", "spiritual adherence to nature and Mother Earth" and "consolidation with the universe".

I just would like to know why it seems that most feminists here are not attracted to men physically.

There are atheists, however not all of atheists are Satan worshippers. There are people who aren't Christains, that doesn't mean they all atheists and/or Satan worshippers.
I do believe in god. I don't believe in Adam and Eve because they aren't the reason we humans had evolved.
Human beings evolved from apes who evolved into Hominids who evolved into Australopithecus Afarensis who evolved into Hom_ Habilis who evolved into Hom_ Erectus who evolved into Hom_ Hom_ Sapiens who evolved into Hom_ Sapians.
I had to leave out o of some of the words because yahoo took them the wrong way.
Loki, if you're reading this, I said in my Adam and Eve question whoever agrees or disagrees with the scientific theory not just me. I am not a troll. I didn't say I was god.
