Call me crazy, but I believe that -real- men not only don't gauge their masculinity based on their food prefrences, and neither do they care if others do or not.

For example, being used, lied to, ripping me off, physically harming. They got away with purposefully harming me at various points in my life, I wasn't able to confront people from small to very bad abuses back then, because I was weak, and bad people target weak people (who were made weak because they came from an abusive past). Now it's too late to get in their face, but I don't want them to pass through their life without knowing, I want them to worry about THEIR karma.

I would like to completely forget some events that happened this year. They say every experience makes you stronger and grow but some bad experiences only traumatize. Can hypnosis block out these bad events from my mind? I see in movies that the reverse can be done.

The whole "Life every day as if it's your last" certainly does not apply to me. If that was the case, I'd spend so much time and energy trying to make every day amazing...a feat that is difficult if not impossible. Instead, I try to be fairly relaxed, with the realization that I cannot accomplish much in one day's time, and that there are (hopefully) many days in the future that will allow me to continue my goals. Who else prescribes to this fairly laid back way of life?

Have noticed a few comments about how if women wish to be treated right, they should act like(or be) ladies.
Men, what's your definition of a lady or lady-like behavior and with your expectations, do you think it's fair that you act like a gentleman in return? Or are you free still act any way you choose?

I hear that almost all economists agree that tariffs on imports are a bad idea. I never hear anyone say why though.

Excerpt:

"...it was stated that when performing various tasks, many areas of women’s brains would be active whereas only one area of men’s brains would.  The conclusion was, not surprisingly, that the female brain may be able to tackle a problem more effectively because a woman “uses more of her brain.”  It seems like a tenable theory.  Very convincing indeed.
   
But some moons later it just so happened that I was reading another article on the subject and I came upon a very curious analysis.  Its author spoke about fMRI research involving the task of recognizing faces and, lo and behold, it was men’s brains that lit up all over the map.  What struck me, though, was the conclusion: “This may mean that men’s brains have to work harder to perform the task!”  I wonder, pray tell, to what can we attribute such diametrically opposite conclusions when viewing the same pattern of data?  Really, the equation is obvious: same phenomenon + different sex + same agenda  = different conclusion.  Very interesting indeed."

I really like the fair tax for several reasons. However, I hear two lines of thought...

1. It will benefit the rich and the poor the same.
2. It will benefit the rich much more than the poor.

Which is true and why?

Here are my suggestions for Hillary's campain people.
when being pounded on by all the other canidates during the debates she should do what jfk would do during his press conferences when asked a difficult question- pause reflect on the question, smile then give a answer. also, simple ? give a complex answer, a complex ? give a simple answer. Use humor when possible to make a point against your rivals.

Does this mean that we all have our individual opinions of what faces and bodies we are drawn/attracted to? That while one guy may think Angelina Jolie is beautiful, another guy may prefer Gweneth Paltrow or Jennifer Aniston? Don't you think it may have something to do with feeling or sensing a romantic chemistry with someone when you look at their photo? That you can sense someone's personality behind the face? For example, when paging through on-line dating photos, aren't we drawn to some faces but not others because we can sense the person's personality behind the face through the photo? So with this concept, not all men would find a slim woman with a good fashion sense, nice hair, good skin tone, pleasant face and sexy body beautiful? Isn't there some standard of beauty? Some guy I know was trying to tell me that not all men would find Jessica Alba attractive and not all women would find Tom Cruise attractive. Or does someone become more beautiful if you feel chemistry with them?

It's hard to explain...but even though I like myself, whenever I see people on TV, or girls like me doing so much and succeed so much, it makes me jealous. Like I really want to be them and I envy them. How do I stop these feelings?

I really abhor this place (I'm at a college all by myself). I mean I can't even explain, I wouldn't have enough room. But I'm leaving thankfully in December. I'm so0o depressed that I have to stay this long here. I tried to get out in the meantime, make some friends, uplift my spirits, but something terrible happens to me everytime I try. So I stay to myself to avoid problems, and now I feel incredibly lonely and depressed and so fed up. I don't know what to do, can anyone help? :(

Why are some guys very mean to girls?I'm an Asian girl & most of my girlfriends are Asian too.One of my classmates who's from New Zealand tends to be very rude towards us girls especially.He seems to think we're beneath us & usually talks to us using words such as freak,*****,dirt & so on.Making fun of us is one of his favourite pastimes as well(usually taking the joke too far)

This is making us miserable & driving us crazy.We don't know how to stop him.Is there anything we can do?Or is there at least an explanation for such behaviour?

Thanks.

p.s. we're all 17/18 yrs old & attending school just for the info.

Business equations are often defined as investment versus return. I dont mean to be negative, as I understand there is much to be gained, however [a strictly personal question]; do you gain as much or more than you invest in society or have you been duped? Do you feel you have a choice in the matter? I believe many soldiers in iraq have been duped for the gain of their society, especially the ones who return in boxes.

In a metaphorical sense this is related to the earlier question i posed of 'If ants could see would they stop work and wander off?'

This idea has been scientifically theorised as 'the big mistake hypothesis'.

I see many on her get upset at sexist remarks made by trolls who are trying to get a reaction. Do some of you not see that this is what they want and this is why the continue to return and spew filth? Or do you just see that they are insulting women so you blindly fall into their trap? Now I understand that there are those who truly believe they are better and deserve better (not equal) because they are men. But I believe the majority of the people on here are just out to get a reaction.

I have been called horrid things on here...a women hater even, simply because I am not bothered by someone trying to upset me...because I don’t give them that ammunition to come back. Is this not just as bad as trolling?

I would really like to understand this better.
