Is that why we dont understand each other?

Because we are all ALIENS here on earth.

New research shows feminists with feminist partners are more sexually satisfied. Equality in bed is a good thing?

I was just reading this article and I wanted to see what others thought of it. Especially this comment.

"Bill could cry, and did, but Hillary can't," says Tom Lutz, a professor at the University of California, Riverside who authored an exhaustive history of crying. In other words, the same tearful response that would be seen as sensitivity in Bill could be seen as a lack of control in his wife.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071024/ap_en_ot/the_crying_game

So are they saying that women aren't allowed so show emotion because that shows lack of self control? WHat happened in the old days where a man was looked down upon for crying?

What are your thoughts and beliefs? No I'm not a feminist just curious.

If you are religious.. don't bother answering because I think religion is drivel.

NOW.. explain the difference between abortion, birth control and not having sex. The same result.. so whats the difference?

I STRONGLY believe that the lives of grown adults are more important than some embryo thats not even alive yet. If the parents are against having it.. abort it. When your ready try again.

Human reporduction is easy enough that abortion is a non-issue. You can always get pregnant again.

Again... explain the difference between abortion, birth control and not having sex. The same result.. so whats the difference?

When i was a teenager i used to have a re-occuring dream about a old lady drssed in a victorian style dress with a lace trim collar. Her hair was scrapped into a bun and she had these little glasses on. She was in a wheelchair and she would chase me in this dream. It was a really un-nerving dream. My daughter also had this re-occuring dream when she was younger the same description of the woman and alot of other similar details. I never discussed this dream with her so she hasn't just dreampt of something i've told her about. It just happened that she was telling about this strange re-occuring dream she'd been having and it was the same one i used to have. So i was wondering if anybody else has ever experianced this. Or if anybody knows anything about dreams like this?

I've had a few dreams about a friend of mine who I am openly attracted to, but he just doesn't seem to be rushing to take any actions. Our friendship is pretty intense, but extremely limited as I only see him at work once or twice a week. My coworkers are surprised at how much of a bond he and I have because he is a very stand-offish person.

My dreams are always that he's chasing me, and it's a playful chase because I am playing hard to get. Then when we finally meet we come so close together in such a natural way it just feels very "right".

Do you think that if you have such an intense dream of this nature and in the dream you feel so much want from the other person that it's:
a reflection of how you feel toward them;
a reflection of the desire and want you think there actually is in real life from them;
or is it just what you wish would be the reality?

Hope that wasn't confusing. Of course, it could be something completely different in your mind too. Just looking for opinions.

VATICAN CITY (AP) -- A Vatican cardinal said Thursday the faithful should listen to what secular modern science has to offer, warning that religion risks turning into "fundamentalism'' if it ignores scientific reason.

Cardinal Paul Poupard, who heads the Pontifical Council for Culture, made the comments at a news conference on a Vatican project to help end the "mutual prejudice'' between religion and science that has long bedeviled the Catholic Church and is currently part of the evolution debate in the United States.

The Vatican project was inspired by Pope John Paul II's 1992 declaration that the church's 17th Century denunciation of Galileo was an error resulting from "tragic mutual incomprehension.'' Galileo was condemned for supporting Nicholas Copernicus' discovery that the Earth revolved around the sun; church teaching at the time placed Earth at the center of the universe.

"The permanent lesson that the Galileo case represents pushes us to keep alive the dialogue..."

I would have dreams about him all the time. In my dreams he would be dead and I had to carry his casket across o big field and he kept rolling out of it-it was really creepy. Then I had one where I knew he had passed but it was like God let him come back for a while and he lived in a nuns house next door from my mom & I and I went to see him & he told me he was upset with my mom and he just looked so sad (and my mom was indeed making terrible choices in real life). Then he had to go back. Another dream he came back to life and my mom took us all camping adn said dad's here and Iooked at this man but it looked nothing like my dad-weird. It was always a situation where even in my dream I knew he had passed but God would let him come back to do or say something. Could that have been real -like he was really trying to tell me something???

I need to know what this means and don't tell me that maybe my boyfriend is really cheating on me bc that is not the case. We have been loyal to eachother from day one. I have been cheated on by ex's and maybe I have built a wall for fear of being cheated on again: here is the dream...

I catch my bf cheating on me with random girls,sometimes girls I know and trusted (or didn't trust so much).When I catch him cheating (kissing, groping, touching, sex),I run away in anger or sadness.He doesn't seem to care or wanna explain himself.He laughs and continues to do it. I usually end up beating the crap outta the chic he is with :) I break up with him, of course,and he continues to hang around me or my house. I try ignoring him and moving on,but its hard when he's around all the time.
I love my bf and I trust him completely.This dream has to mean something else.They are so badly hurting me it is hard to concentrate in school.Help me please!

I really like to put my hand over woman´s/ girl´s mouth. I think it is lovely when they have to feel my palm against their lips and resign to it, accept it and be submissive. I like to keep their mouth shut while watching television, showing them their place, and indicating that they have to be quiet. I also like to do it publicly, in bus, in street, so people can see it and I can watch their reaction.
I like to do it in home playing like I am a hero, she is heroine, we are hiding and I have to keep her quiet, It is fun if she has lipstick in her mouth. I like to do it when we are in bed and she has to be silent. Do you women/girls ever like it when man is holding your mouth with his hand? Does it ever turn you on?

Ever notice that when a woman has had bad experiences and goes on a man-hating rant.. she is usually supported, given sympathy and agreed with.

On the other hand.. a man who goes on a woman-hating rant is called a misogynist, is told "he is meeting all the wrong women", and told he has poor dating skills.

Isn't this yet another example of women being painted as the victims and men as the monsters?

with and be friends with were being told not to talk or associate with you?

girls who you liked, others to, were all being told or instructed not to get involved with you.
i say this because constantly in my life people have rejected me and always end up abandoning me.
im 30 now, have borderline personality disorder and ptsd & depression due to alot of abuse and bullying growing up.
ive never made any friends in life..and only talk with a few good people online.

one of them, a girl in the u.s has just stopped contacting me via yahoo messenger.....she was really nice, supportive and understood......i did tend to pour my problems out with her...but not to get her down....just because im lonely, and dont have alot of people to turn to.
shes just stopped contacting me, and wasnt receptive when i asked her how things were...so now ive backed off, sensing rejection.
i get clingy and have very low self esteem, so its not easy to form friendships with anyone. it takes great courage
