I am trying to get data on income distribution within the US. I want the data broken across age, US cities and gender. I have not been able to find any helpful data on the US Censors.

Can someone assist with locating this data?
Thanks

I'm outside - always different settings - having a pleasant time, when panic starts and it turns out a plane is crashing, hurtling towards us. I'm never harmed, but the plane crashes very close.

I have this dream A LOT

Any ideas?!

:)

I didn't have a wedding because I never had those dreams and thought it would be better to use the money and time for something else. My female friends clearly feel differently about the subject. Does this have to do with the fairytale stories we grew up with?

Before you say it, I'm not judging those who put value on weddings. I'm a pretty boring person when it comes to celebrations...don't care for my bday and didn't care to have graduation parties either. So, if anybody is extreme, it would probably be me :)

With the Thanksgiving holiday approaching, I was wondering who is making the sacrifice of their career to be home while the children are out of school. This is a question for dual-income families with children who do not use the services of child care, whether paid or a friend/family member.

I already work from my home office which does afford me a lot of flexibility as I don't work certain hours, but rather meet deadlines. However, I can't really be attentive to a 5 and 6-year-old while I'm busy working, so I am rearranging my hours to work while they are sleeping.

Who in your family makes the sacrifice? Are both partners taking turns sacrificing? How are these decisions made? Do these decisions feel voluntary or imposed?

I had an interesting discussion about feminist theory today in my women's studies class. A lot of people complained that feminist theories are far too out of reach for most people. They are theoretically and academically dense. Is this a bad thing? Does this make feminism out of reach for too many men and women?

I have had several dreams of diasters. There has been ones about tsunamis, plane crashes, tornadoes, earthquakes, nuclear attacks, car crashes, and school shootings. I am in all of the dreams but i am always the only survivor just me and no one else. So my question is why am i the only survivor?

Where would one look for scholarships or grants for an undergraduate looking to study Native American History, Archaeology, and Anthropology?

...insist on continuing to try to engage those who have proved what twits they are instead of doing something more interesting... like watching paint dry? And what will you all do when you manage to drive the last intelligent person away? I think there's only like 3 left here.

I remember chuckling over some of the "old school" misogynistic scientists, who proclaimed that evolution might not have been as necessary in developing the brain of females, since it "obviously" didn't take any intelligence to survive and raise children - only to hunt and "use tools", which was supposedly the exclusive domain of men. Naturally, the idea that our female ancestors were a bunch of airheads, who survived only because they were incredibly cute, is roundly rejected these days.

But lately I seem to be hearing a similar idea - that men evolved to be brilliant, strong, and all-powerful....by themselves. I guess the folks saying this don't realize that you actually have to find a female ancestor willing to breed with those "all-powerful" men in order to be successful? Do they think that "survival of the fittest" means bachelors who were really good at hunting, but couldn't get a girlfriend? "Fittest" means, "best able to create offspring who will later breed".

taken less seriously because women are mostly victims to these crimes? Are men less likely to speak out because they don't want to compromise their "manhood?" What can we do to change the difference in attitude?

From age 12-17, I was dealing with depression and I was also being self-destructive because of my circumstances and my memories.

From 17 -21, i got some medicine help and was improving.

From 21-23, I was very functional and somewhat at my peak.

From 23-25, I have been going downwards. Most of the things I psychological problems I had at age 12 resurfaced. I kept the problems suppressed because there were no ways of dealing with those problems. I might have began suppressing the problems around age 14, but I was not able to fully suppress them and get ahold of them of my life until I had help with medication.

Now, even with new medicine help, I do not think I can improve or get better because my college transcript is really messed up with lots of class and quarter withdraws.

Mostly, because of that, I have been getting even worse and I am going even more down. Everything from the last two years is weighing on me and causing me to get worse and worse.

Downwards.

Do you think that people who are not the feminist stereotype are very shocking to many average people?

And is it a negative or positive effect for feminism in general?

An ill-prepared college professor, when asked a difficult question, says, “No one knows the answer to that question.” This is an example of which defense mechanism?

a. Regression
b. Displacement
c. Reaction formation
d. Projection

I think the answer is D. because projection is the attribution of one’s own undesirable characteristics to other people. The teacher is suggesting that other people don’t know the answer either and are at fault also. It is less threatening this way. I don’t know if I am correct though. What do you think?

If I call myself a badger and get acrylic nails 3 inches long and scratch everyone to death who comes near, am I a badger? NO.

Sugarcoat it all you want, its still selling your body for money, and even those who do "cake parties", Its just another form of daddy appoval stripper condescending bahaviour to all women - even, and especially, if celebrities do it and enjoy it and aprove of it. Have a spine, unlike those Dems who are willing to sell our womens rights out.

I have no issues - at alll - with sex between loving adults (in all of its variances) and being proud of ones sexual being BUT MONEY SHOULD NEVER have any factor in it. AT ALL.

Your thoughts?
