People love to lay claim to their personal freedoms these days. "Who are you to judge and tell me what to do?" What you do with your life, is no ones buisness but your own, right? I question that sometimes. I don't believe thats always true. Sometimes another persons "personal freedoms" do impact you. I think probably more then we think. I know people hate hearing that! Probably gonna get slammed for saying that. . .

Can anyone think of time when another persons "personal freedoms" effect someone else?

Who do you gain comfort from? Humans are collective creatures who rely on each other in times of stress and hardship. Do you take for granted the people in your life who give you strenghth , courage and support when you need it. And if there was no one who you could turn to in life , how do you think it would effect you?

Both men and women, please answer with honesty here, how many of you were physically/emotionally or sexually abused as children? Details don't matter, just am wondering with so many people that post here, whether more men or women were abused.

Ok this has to do with a theory about the soul. Can you feel your soul? like an energy inside of you that never goes away even when your exhausted to the point of passing out. Like a fire inside of you, I know it sounds hokey but bare with me and try to answer my question to the best of your ability.

It's ruining my life, I have physical symptoms all day long (NOT panic attacks) and I can't get thoughts out of my head sometimes no matter what I do. I've had every test possible for the physical symptoms and it does not turn up anything. So I don't know what to do. I've been referred to a psychiatrist but the wait is so long I don't want to wait. I'm also depressed from it and I only get worse. I have OCD too. Does anti-anxiety medication work if your not having anxiety attacks? I need help. I always have to be worrying about something, and when I'm not so caught up in my worries I'm doing OCD things (checking, arranging, etc.).

I'm about 98% sure that my therapist flirts with me.
He's told me on more than one occasion that I'm "very beautiful" and jokes about me getting hit on and people finding me attractive, among other things
I know about transference and I honestly don't think this is the case because I am not attracted to him at all
How would I know for sure if he is or isn't flirting with me? Am I just being paranoid?

I'll be dreaming of something happening and the next day it'll happen. Sorta the same, I mean of some specific place, person, or thing. I'm not sure why this is happening, is there a reason to it. Is this Deja Vu? Is there a specific explanation to it?

Shouldn't almost the entire economy eventually become stock market?

Similar to what happens in your portfolio after many years if you don't rebalance it between stocks and bonds.

The annoyance reaches its peak when girls are 12-13 and when they first started college (18-19).

I don't mean to be racist but, Caucasian sorority girls seem to be the greatest culprit. Talking in an incredibly annoying, whiny, "kitty-cat" voice. Is this supposed to be cute or something?

I have heard that feminism is a 'hate cult'. Why do feminists (I use the term loosely) hate men and normal women? Is it some kind of disorder and if so can it be cured?

Both of the people who raised me are to this day so perfectionionistic I can't invite them to my home despite mopping once a day, washing dishes countless times a day, vacumming everyday,etc. A spot on the carpet is big deal to them. I have to watch what I say to some family cause they get upset over the slightest thing as though everthing is a big political issue . Dad can't read anything that might offend him. The song lyric for a romantic song" we'll change the station if news comes on" upset my uncle. A nine yr. old girl putting chap stick on caused him to criticize. I can't send my dad a school pic of my daughter if one hair is out of place. He doesn't think women with stretch marks should wear sleeveless tops and makes it clear he doesn't want stretch marks around him where he can see. Yet, he never shows concern his x wife whom he was married to at the time has spent 30 yrs. on missing person list. Are these people normal?

To my understanding, Feminism is all about the independent woman. Female financial independence, freedom of individual choice, etc.

But there is a side-effect to this ideal, in that male independence (or rather lack of expected female dependence) is expected as if to even things out.

If a woman is successful in her career, and in turn has a successful mate, she no longer needs to "earn her keep" by doing all household chores, and instead expects equal effort in both financial matters and otherwise, as a side effect, the male partner is forced to relinquish his 'command' so to speak of the household in favor of equal governing, and again, equal effort.

Do (some) men who oppose feminism, fear the independence of their partners and the independence expected of them?

(For the record, I am not talking about role-reversal in which the woman becomes the "head of household" and expects her male partner to become dependent on her and 'earn HIS keep', but rather where neither

I have known a few people (old and young) who have comitted suicide and they were very intelligent people. I am wondering if there is a correlation between suicide and intelligence? Is suicide a much higher risk for those who have a deeper understanding of the world? Does this imply that there is something apparently unfavorable about the reality in which we live? Suicide is only up on the top ten killer lists for devolped countries; This problem is rarely seen in the third world. (This of course is exluding suicide in the name of religion and only applies to the "I don't want to live anymore" types of suicides.)

Ladies, I like women who wear flowing skirts, smell nice, and don't believe that doing cooking and cleaning is an insult to their gender.
Are there women like this or am I a dinosaur who needs to catch up to the times?

If I am dinosaurish, why do women view doing these things as bad, when I would be truly grateful to a women who did this
for me?

Thanks for your feedback.
