Social Science - 15 November 2007

I don't know if my mom is crazy or what because she watches that silvia brown and I tell her about the dreams I have about my dad and she says he's trying to contact me. I'm only 15 and he passed away about 2 years ago and I have about 4-5 dreams about him a week. My mom or sister don't have nearly this much.
I just want your opinion.. if you think the dead tries to contact people.

When you want to explode of anger, but you cant express it or make a noise because it's 12;00 pm and
there are people sleeping.

or even in the public when ther's a lot of people but your shy to express your anger!


"Did you know that the anger stucks in my chest and stomach if i cant express it..... it is seriously de*vil inside that'll brain wash ur mind by a severe anger inside"

Divorce
Honoring marriage
Cheating (The more I learn about that, the more it repluses me)
Love
Intregrity
Respect
Atheism (Been learning a lot about it lately. Really can't get on borad with it the more I learn. Don't know why. Shouldn't it be the other way around?)
God (Have no idea what to say about that! I just don't know)

Why are these things I can't not think about? These have become some pretty hot topics with me as of late. I really wish I didn't care about any one them! I sincerely wish I didn't care. . . but I do. I wish I ignorant to all it. But I'm not.

Why do these things consume my thoughts? Is this just hard wired into me to over think?

I cleaned my room rather thourghly and changed it up... I am wondering what kind of effect this may have on my life. It now has a TV with cable and a 'systematic' way to take care of all my stuff. What kind of butterfly effect may this have on my life

The NYC Alliance Agst Sexual Violence has a media response project to combat rape victims being treated like criminals.

In particular, look at the link on the right - the Cosmo article about 'gray rape'.

excerpt:
Alicia's "gray area" experience is something that is becoming so common, it has earned its own moniker: gray rape. It refers to sex that falls somewhere between consent and denial and is even more confusing that date rape because often both parties are unsure of who wanted what.

The author is not an expert in this field.

Isn't consent a black & white issue, either you do or you dont? Doesn't this diminish rape and all the problems with getting people (men and women alike) to report it? Can't there be clearer ways of giving consent so we don't have such wishy-washy ideas of what constitutes consent?

I know that the media now use 'accuser' instead of 'victim'.

Any other concerns about rape in the media?

And engage in other types of play typically thought of as "girl games/toys"?

This is in response to the post about the boy who was forced to live as a girl and ended up commiting suicide. Admittedly, a very sad story. I noticed myself, and others, who posted something ot the extent of "children should be able to play with whatever toys/games are naturally of interest to them" got quite a few thumbs down. I'm curious to know why that is.

Should we try to ensure that out children are only exposed to "gender approriate" play? Dolls and toy ovens for girls, dump trucks and G.I. Joes for boys? Would it be wrong or detrimental to give a girl a "boy toy", or a boy a "girl toy"?

For those who don't like the idea of sentencing a person to death what about a sentence which is so introverted many would choose death over being incarcerated? They will be put in a small cell with no contact to the outer world (no letters in or out, no visitation, no phone calls), given a sparce amount of food twice a day and will not be evacuated in the event of a natural disaster.

If you had to choose one month in your entire life that had the greatest influence on you.....and changed your life around.... or utterly changed all your beliefs, way of life, et cetera., what month would it be? Pick a specific month in a specific year, not just 'November' or something. More like 'November 2004' or something like that. And no, don't count the month that you were born in....
I have had countless of these 'life-changing' months, so it would be extremely hard to choose one.

All my life I have altered myself to suit others. If someone wanted a joker as a friend, I became that joker. If someone wanted someone they could talk to seriously, I became that person and so forth. It all works out somewhat, but know I find my personality changes every time the people I'm around changes and I just don't know who the REAL me is anymore. Who am I? I just don't know anymore.... Can you help me? may be it just that I don't really exist....

Perceptionally, if words are misquoted, taken out of context, if someone asks, gets answered, then abuses the privellege either as jealous, ignorant or just plane stubborn idiocy, why would you bother?

Surely there is a greater truth in not being small minded, perhaps naive, or ill informed, or personally perceptionally deceived on only what is wrong and never right with the world.

Does yahoo when answers or questions can not be deleted by either the questioner or anwerer when set in concrete have an eternity for denial to those who seek and the relativity is as much based on companies ahead of the their time having privelleged information where ignoramaces prove their vanity?

Is abuse the only reason for removal upon reporting, or during an election campaign is the victimization of key individuals seen as desirable to free speach by yahoo?

Surely choice is as much about the right to deny as to give?

if you have a daughter, will your views change? will you want her to be able to have a career AND a family? should she get an equal wage for equal work? will you belittle her if she's raped? if you have a son, will you expect him to be dominant? would you care if he became a stay at home dad? should he be the sole-breadwinner?

i'm 15 years old. and i am having an extremely hard time lately dealing with life. there has been nothing too dramatic going on in my life (the typical homework issue, but that's it!), but i feel so UPSET. like life's not worth living anymore. i don't find a point to existence, it seems like one pathetic game of sims. i feel like i am so separated from reality, like nothing's real and there are no consequences. Today i had a really urgent need to cut myself, and i would have if i found a blade, but i didn't. I'm constantly obsessing about my weight. i hate myself, i'm just a horrible person. no guy should like me, none of my friends deserve a horrible friend like me. my parents gave birth to the worst possible daughter to live.

why live? i only do because a. suicide = hell and i don't want God hating me too. and b. my parents would be devastated. i can't deal with this. i can't tell them about this though..i don't want people thinking i'm an emo child. i hate life. please help?? :[
