If you were an archaeologist in the future and were to visit the ruins of your home and see all the dishes and bottles and other things in the kitchen, assuming you dont know anyone who lived here, what might you decide about these people by solely looking at the items in the kitchen. What kinds of eating practice did they have? Did they have feast? How many people lived their? etc......

Thanx.

I really need to study for my university entrance exams. But the problem is i cant force myself to do so! How do I motivate myself? Im so lazy! Can you give me some reasons why to study? I used to be a really good student and i liked learning but ive become really disgusted and bored recently. It seems so useless and pointless to me. Maybe you could tell me some inspiring qoutations that i may look at when i need to force myself to study :-)

hi i dreamt of worms coming out of my mouth and ear
we kept pulling them out one by one to get rid of them
they were not very thick, kinda cream/white
and in the end they turned into some kind of neckless of beads and i could pull the chain out from the ear through the mouth (u know it was connected) and then we cut the string and chain was pulled out and done. i was back to normal

I would like to be someone who can think more analytically and smarter.

(I feel like I am not thinking in a fast manner; in an interview for example or debate)

This is one area where the genders are clearly unequal. Some of the people on this forum might seem to disprove this, but they're not representative of the genpop. It is (and has been for decades) quite acceptable to point out the shortcomings of most men publicly, without much in the way of fear of even a reasoned response, let alone the woman ending up in the doghouse. But if a man even hints at the shortcomings of most women quietly, and he's overheard.....watch out. If he points out that a shortcoming of his woman is just her being a woman, he's lashed out against or she quietly puts him in the doghouse. But, she is free to blithely state that his selfishness is just a guy thing, or that he stinks or looks like crap. Let me know if you need more examples.
What if the masculinists & anti-feminists made as their goal a level playing field in just this regard, and went from there? Are they not willing to suffer the consequences? Are they not aware that they allow this inequity?

I´ve had repeated dream about one person and lately in every dream he´s standing in front of me (our faces looking same direction), so I´m standing behind he´s back - not directly, but kind of behind his right shoulder. He´s on the left always and I´m looking he´s shoulder. But even if he doesn´t stand, he usually comes or just is on the left side.
I´ve seen the same thing several times in last month and wonder, what could it mean?

They are afraid of losing control within a group? Doing drugs/sex. It goes against their morals creating anxiety. Being labeled by all of them and not being able to escape that label. They have anxiety problems because the unknown scares them. They don't know that the only way to get out of their shell is to face their fears? They are afraid of being ignored in the group, not having a voice. They would rather have a one on one conversations with someone. They like predictability. What else? I just explained myself.

For crying out loud. You don't create a hate movement against men, tell them they are useless, endlessly list inadequacies you feel they have, stereotype them all as criminals and abusers then expect them to respect you.

You don't go foisting as much responsibility onto people you want to respect you either.

I'm baffled by this. It's like one country flying planes over to another country continually bombing all their cities, then when the other side gears up to retaliate saying "no no we must sit down and respectfully discuss this".

Fat chance.

Why do they think they can ask this?

Seriously... men are far more logical and rational. Women always talk about empowerment and strength and being "equal" yet when things go wrong they blame MEN.

You'll almost NEVER hear a woman say: "Sorry that was MY fault".

So until women can take responsibility for their actions.. why should any man listen to them or take them seriously? After all.. NOTHING is ever THEIR fault anyway.

Thats why women should be in the house and leave men to take care of important things.

I pierced my first ear when I was 17 and it hurt so much I didn't get the second one done for about 10 or so years. I was really happy to finally have one hole in each ear but then they closed up. I asked my Doctor to do it but he said to go to a ear piercing place as he knows how scared I am of needles and I'm going to take up a lot of his time as he'll have to chase me around his office like he has to do when I get my annual flu shot :-( I then pierced it myself by shoving the earring through the hole and it bled a lot-my Doctor thinks I'm nuts as he thinks that must have hurt more. The problem is -it was never pierced STRAIGHT -it was pierced badly-at an angle so this is why I have always had problems putting in the earrings. Three of my four kids have piercings -even multiple piercings and I have become the 'Family joke' -how can I muster up the courage to pierce my ears and more importantly-how can I make sure it doesn't hurt-can I take tylenol or advil or aspirin?

Very few women would have the honesty to accept it, if they do feel hot for their sons. But almost all women fantasize, sometimes abt much younger men like pizza boys or sons' friends but do they consciously imagine their most loved ones getting intimate and making wonderful love to them....? Isn't emotional attachment a strong ingradient of sexual attraction ?

Just wanted to share because I don't know what else to do;
I am so happy right now.

Last year I went through the most terrible year of depression with suicide attempts and terrible break ups at a point where I was already so vulnerable.

But this year is going amazing! I am fourteen, I found the boy I know would never hurt me. It's just such a good feeling. I have the perfect friends that I know I can trust. It just makes all the bad things disappear when you find the people you really care about.

When you're so happy, does anyone else get those butterflies in your stomach like I keep getting? What about you guys, are you really happy too?

Find the quietest/sound proof place you know. NO distractions ( visual, TV, reading..turn the lights off perhaps). Sit for 10 minutes. How do you feel? What did you miss the most? What would you not miss? What would your world be like without sound?

Video of people not caring or BEING REALLY HAPPY about it here:
http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=2754248

Over two days of taping, "Primetime" watched 163 people just walk right by the actors – the abusive woman and her boyfriend. Of all those who had the chance to step up and get involved, only one group of women stopped.

The reaction of another woman, Lynda, was stunning. As our actress continued to heap abuse on her make-believe boyfriend, she walked by the scene and pumped her fist in a show of sisterly solidarity.

"Good for you. You Go, Girl!" is how Lynda recalls her reaction.

"I was thinking he probably did something really bad," she said. "Maybe she caught him cheating or something like that…and [it] made her lose it and slap him in the face. I reacted like, 'Yes. Woman power.'"

Has anyone else noticed this? When a guy is carefree and not that interested, women LOVE him and want him so bad. But as soon as he starts to care about her or show some interest and respect, suddenly she loses interest in him.

Women are turned off by a guy who actually like/loves them!! Look around and you'll see what I'm talking about. Only when men keep a certain degree of distance is the woman interested in him.

Yet women complain about men not doing this and that.. but when we do that stuff women walk away!

Women... why should any man take your complaints about men seriously when you ignore the men who are doing everything right and chase the men doing everything wrong?
