I'll try and make this story as short as possible, so please bear with me.

About three months ago, I met a wonderful person on Yahoo Answers. We spoke on MSN for about a month, during which he would constantly pester me to meet him.
At first I said yes straight away, but as I got thinking, I started to get paranoid that he would think I was hideous as soon as he saw me.

So after that, I kept postponing our meetings (and by this time we had started talking on the phone almost everyday)... but we still fell in love.

Then one day, we were discussing what we would do if we met, and I jokingly said "I would only do that if you were blindfolded" - but then he seriously said he would do it.

...as a political weapon against woman's advancements: the beauty myth. The qualities that a given period calls beautiful in women are merely symbols of the female behavior that that period considers desirable: The beauty myth is always actually prescribing behavior and not appearance. Competition between women has been made a part of the myth so that women will be divided from one another. Youth and (until recently) virginity have been "beautiful" in women since they stand for experiential and sexual ignorance. Aging in women is "unbeautiful" since women grow more powerful with time, and since links between generations of women must always be newly broken: Older women fear young ones, and young women fear old, and the beauty myth truncates for all the female life span. Most urgently. women's identity must be premised upon our "beauty" so that we will remain vulnerable to outside approval, carrying the vital sensitive organ of self-esteem exposed to the air." Naomi Wolf

Any thoughts?

about rape? About encouraging a certain questioner to go ahead and rape women? I'm serious. I enjoy debate, I enjoy listening to other people's views, I enjoy some silliness and sarcasm, but to stoop so low that you are actually encouraging a questioner to go ahead and rape women in my mind is disgusting, it crosses the line. It is heartless and disrespectful, you think NO ONE who reads these has ever been the victim of rape? Explain to me how you validate your responses please.

Hi. Im 15, but do have an interest in Economics, and have a very vague idea of the topic. (I do understand basic things like supply+demand, interest rates, inflation...)

Would someone please be able to explain why the Northern Rock Crisis occured, and exactly what this means? I'm sorry if I do sound naive, but - well any business section in the newspaper is too full of jargon for me to properly understand.

Please just relate this to the British Economy, and the credit crunch....


Thank you for this - I really want to understand and I have to start off somewhere!!!

Right now im dealing with someone who is being MAJORLY passive agressive to me and will not tell me what's on their mind. They are doing all sorts of childish games and I don't understand why or what the reason is they are doing it for. This has been going for months now. Why do you think these types of people won't tell you what you did wrong if they feel you have done something wrong? What is the goal in being passive aggressive?

I need help interpreting my dream.
Ok, so my best friend was over my house with her boy cousin that i have never before seen in my life, i don't even think she has one that is my age (13). We were home alone. The three of us were talking, but then they had to leave. They left and a few seconds later the doorbell rang. I went to the door to check who it was and i looked around. Nobody was at the door, but a little bit to the left was my friends hot cousin. He waved to me to come over to him so i did. He kissed me lightly and we started walking and holding hands. All of a sudden we were at my bus stop making out and everyone was watching. Then i woke up.

What does it mean?!?!?!?!

I know this sounds stupid, but how do you stop loving people who you aren't around anymore? I still miss friends that I had when I was a kid. And I still love every ex of mine as much as when I was with them. It would feel a lot better if I could just stop caring about them, but I really can't. It's like every person I meet becomes permanently important to me. Is this some type of mental disorder? It’s really affecting my life, because I’m afraid to meet new people. I know that one day we’ll have to part from each other, and then I’ll have to deal with missing them the rest of my life.

i had a dream where i went to a school and it was like an orphanage. i had no friends and i would always end up going to the bathroom. then it switched to a different scene where i was falling in love with a younger guy we saw his parents getting home so i started running but i couldn't because there was a carousel in front of me and i had to jump on top of different horses[fake ones] to get out. then i got to school and we were having class.. no one liked me and i felt so alone.. when i went to the bathroom again there was raviolis and spaghetti with alot of red sauce on the toilet!! i got out and people started to burn alive. i couldn't do anything so i started running. my dream ended when i saw a light brown cat with a really long tail!!
it was really scary!!
can anyone help me figure out what it meant?

I was thinking about this concept and came to some confusing ideas. If product demand is low price shuold go up, or should they go down to encourage sales?.. if demand is high, price should go down, then again it should go up to make greater profit and to cope with extra production cost..

In Texas those incarcerated can get married through Texas' proxy marriage laws.

How can I help her?
