OK I don't want to offend anyone but polygmy is something I can't understand and I can't fathom why any women would ever go for this, why marry a woman collector? How can they stand it? Why does anyone want to do that?
One man...one woman that's a marriage!

My thinking is that dogs avoid, or run away, from the exact people you would avoid - that is if you are a normal human being.

I often hear people say committing suicide is a selfish act. That the deceased person should have thought about how that would impact others. What is your opinion?

Everyone has talents... so I've heard. How do I know what mine are? People have told me that everyone's good at something, but I've been considering that for a while and I honestly can't think of anything. Nothing. I'm just "OK" at everything, and that's really frustrating. I'm also the middle child, which doesn't help since I'm not the 'first' of anything and I'm never the 'last'. Name anything and I'll probably be able to tell you why I'm not bad at it but I'm also not good at it. I'm sorry if I'm rambling but this has been bothering me for years and I would LOVE to discover my own talents, or whatever I'm good at. How do you know what you're good at? Does everyone REALLY have talent? I don't think I do!

Ten points if you can relate to me and help, I would really really appreciate it! Thanks!

Now we can all get the perfect nose, women can have the breasts they dream of and men can add an inch or two in all the right places....

Are we simply lucky to be able to get body modifications of choice, or..

is the desire to modify our bodies a consequence of celebrity images that apply unreasonable pressure on normal people to aspire to images of beauty that are only truthfully obtainable with the aid of very good camerawork?

Should we be concerned, or should we celebrate?
Should we do a little of both?

excerpt:
Safety trumps safe sex for teens in abusive relationships
Jill Morrison, Senior Counsel
National Women’s Law Center

This is one of the more disturbing headlines I’ve read lately. “Teen Girls Report Abusive Boyfriends Try to Get Them Pregnant”

My first instinct was to ask where young men are learning these tools to oppress and degrade, but on quick reflection, the real question is where are they not learning them? From judges, to legislators, to pharmacists and hospitals that impose their beliefs on others, to the protestors outside of the now-delayed clinic in Aurora, Illinois – it would be impossible for a young man, especially one with the proclivity to abuse, to not recognize the power that comes with forced procreation.

Do you think, in some cases, men purposely get women pregant? (it's contrary to the belief that women are the guilty ones, isn't it?)

This guy started a web site to "help" women raise money to get breast implants. The women, in turn, have to show 'benefactors' the results.

Implants can cause pain, hardness, numbness, toxic shock syndrome; there's been a few deaths from gangrene; sometimes additional surgery is needed; and it can be difficult to breastfeed or detect cancer on mammograms (according to breastimplantinfo.org)

This guy insists his site is beneficial to women (funny enough, his girlfriend disagrees but i guess she doesnt have any pull!)

What are your thougths? It will be interesting to hear both men and women's opinions.

Violence against women has been compared to a Holocaust -

http://www.digitalnpq.org/archive/2006_spring/21_ali.html

excerpt:
Between 113 million and 200 million women around the world are demographically “missing.” Every year, between 1.5 and 3 million women and girls lose their lives as a result of gender-based violence or neglect. As The Economist, which reported on the DCAF paper, put it last November, “Every two to four years the world looks away from a victim count on the scale of Hitler’s Holocaust.”

(also, see her bulleted list of factors for some explanations - too many to list here)

In this article, the author calls on Western women to unite and fight this human rights abuse.

Were you aware of the severity of the problem? What do you think people can do to help solve it?

Do you think international pressure or shame or something else would work?

Since AA exposure causes people to be more likely to commit suicide and binge drink... how can it be said to help when people who quit on their own are just as likely to succede as AAers.
How does filling your head with drivel, slogans and outright lies masquerading as TRUTH ((sacred and unquestionable))

It's ok for men to sleep around but not women. How can we defeat that double standard? It should be ok for women to sleep around too.

Do you believe in personality type? Holland, myers-briggs?

How accurate do you think it is?

Do you think it is a good indicator of career happiness?

What do you think is happening if someone takes it one year and tests one way and then takes it a year later and it is almost completely different?

What is your type? Can a person be a enfp, and enfj or entp and entj or intj and intp?

Left brained and right brained: Are most people one or the other? Among people who can use either side very fluidly (as shown by current tests), would they be mostly people who would be "gifted."?

If a "gifted" person uses their left and right brain almost equaly--one hour this side one hour the other side --the auditory and then the visual, would their personality type be affected.

I'm talking about the idea that some people feel like they have two separate brains in their heads, because they can always see, think, and feel both sides of everything--EVERYTHING.
