Social Science - 1 December 2007

Glenn Beck is mentioning that America is in a Crisis. Foreign countries are buying our assets cheap. Jobs will be harder to find, Baby boomers are close to retirement and planning on relying on Social security & medicare, the dollar greatly losing value, consumer products will be much more expensive in like 4 years.
Think about the graduates from high school and college who are just starting life and they are gonna have a rough start.

How will people(including me) be able to enjoy life in America next decade?

My eyes cross inward. I've had this my whole life and have already done everything possible to treat it. At this point there is nothing more that can be done and I'm just always going to be cross eyed.

There are a number of male celebrities that are cross eyed, but NO females at all... that I can think of. It really hurts me how shallow a lot of people are. Why is it that whenever someone wants to insult me, they point out my eye condition? Thats such a low blow.

I'm 24 and never had a boyfriend because most men will date me just for a "hook up". I also get approached by lots of men when I'm wearing sunglasses, but almost never when my eyes are visible.

Would his be easier of I was a guy?

Suicide to me is one of those issues that exist because we live in a world where mutual respect and participation are only practiced when economic incentive is outrightfully proven. Would it be possible to prevent suicide once and for all if human beings acted upon the goodwill of humanity rather than the greed of human nature?

I realize that many feminists are Democrat, but I am not. I also realize that the Republican base had been overtaken by Christian Conservatives, which deeply goes against the core belief that government should stay out of the bedrooms and boardrooms of Americans. Do you agree with this sentiment?

It's almost to the point of which I don't want to fall asleep.
From being caught in an atomic boming, from a crazy woman with satan's eyes trying to kill me and throwing buckets and buckets of freezing cold water on me, to flying a plane and it crashed into a lake, I couldn't get my seatbelt off so I slowly drowned in the lake, to having cancer and all of my hair falling out, to conflicts.. I have about 3 nightmares a night, last night it was first the airplane crash dream, i woke up and fell asleep again about half hour later and had the dream about the crazy woman, and lastly I fell asleep and woke up from the dream about myself having cancer and all of my hair falling out.

I'm at the point where I don't want to go to sleep anymore, it's been happening every night for about a month and a half.

Do you believe that pornography is about the subjugation and enslavement of women? If so, how do you account for the sizable amount of pornography in the world that doesn't involve women at all?

I love Andrea Dworkin as much as the next guy, but for me personally the jury is still out on this one...

I dreamt of my whole family and my friend going to this theatre to watch a movie. While walking I see a mirror, and I kept on making face expressions by looking at the mirror.

When my family/friends and I went inside the theatre, there were a lot of people and I was getting very nervous because I keep on thinking all these normal people will look at me and call me crazy.

They started playing a tape, that tape was of my family, friends and I entering the theatre, I was behind everyone looking and walking weird, I see the mirror and make these crazy face expressions.

So I got angry and went outside. I saw my brother's friend, we went to a place to eat. That place had full of guys but I was concious of them looking at me and thinking I'm crazy or weird.

What is this dream?

My flaws are: I have a a tendency to speak without thinking I am NOWHERE near perfect. I hate to be wrong. I always have to have the last word in an argument. And I am a smart-azz.

Perhaps you decided to be a male nurse or primary school teacher?

Perhaps you studied to become a female doctor or engineer, or trained to be a marine?

If not you personally, perhaps someone you know.

Have you been supported in choosing a career path that is unusual for your gender? Have you supported someone making an unusual choice?

How has it worked out?

I mean, with the right reasons, and the right person, it could be a beautiful thing. Plus, it greatly contributes to human existence, and it's a big part of our society.

So, why is sex such a taboo subject to talk about? What makes it so wrong and uncomfortable?

Feelings changed for my boyfriend so I left him. I feel absolutely nothing, etc. But one night, I dreamt that we were walking in this dead/burnt grassy area by the side of a highway and then the next night where I was with him and my mom went to his house and I was crying, telling her to not go and bother his parents [I was crying hard in the dream]. Then we went to this show place [me and him] and we kissed once and my aunt saw us. Then we started to mess around and I felt absolutely nothing. Like no emotional anything. What does it mean?

If thet are really so cold and hungry and perhaps lonely and becoming ill. Why don't they simply walk into an ER and say they are suicidal and wish to be institutionalized. They would then be sent to a mental hospital, it's no hotel but they would have meals made for them, have a bed and roof over their heads, have a bit of company and wouldn't need to pester people for change all day.

And since it was their choice they could come out any time they wanted.

When a person blames their lack of success, or failure to get their own way on discrimination which is based on race or gender, they often do have a provable point.

However, that isn't always true. Sometimes people will blame their failures on gender or race simply because it is an easy rallying point to cry "foul", garner support from relevant organizations and essentially play the victim in circumstances where they have not been victimized at all.

There can be no dispute that people are discriminated against on the basis of race and gender, but how often do people play the "race card" or the "gender card"?

Does it devalue the genuine moves towards equality, or is it simply an inevitable reflection on human nature to use whatever means available to get ones own way?

Is there a significant difference in your mind between those who play the race card and those who play the gender card?

What do you think?
