has never been married, is not currently in a relationship with a woman, is in his mid 30's, a bit shy, normal looking but not effeminate or metrosexual, do you have a tendency to just assume he is gay?

Men and/or women will work. Any interesting facts on women's rights would be nice too.

Bush is seeking $28 million to spend on abstinence-only education, adding to the $1 billion already spent over the past decade. At the same time, 600 feminists at a recent New York meeting are calling for an end to the abstinence-only programs. How do you feel about them? Are they a good or bad investment for our tax dollars? Do you know where your candidates stand on the issue? If not, this article....

Is this just *more* sexism (i.e. women need help / men need punishment)?

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/pressass/20071203/tuk-alternative-to-women-s-prisons-6323e80_1.html

A new approach to punishing women criminals could save millions of pounds a year, it has been claimed.
Findings from the New Economics Foundation (NEF) and the Prison Reform Trust said crimes could also be prevented by establishing a network of support and supervision centres.
As alternatives to jails they would help women offenders address the root causes of their offending, the interim findings suggested, by offering mental health treatment, help with drug and alcohol problems and advice on debt

Men don't need any help of course...

I know its because we dont have a uterus, but still, why only women? my friends gets angry and annoyed everytime that time of the month comes. they get cramps and headaches, everything is annoying to them, they wanna cry, they hate me and many other things.

why are guys so lucky that we dont go through this? why in the evolution guys didnt get anything in our bodies that would nag us every month? guys dont get angry and annoyed once a month like girls do. but when guys hormones gets wild, then we only get horny, while girls and women will get angry or sad, they will get headaches. I never got any headaches cause of hormones!!!!

is it just because of the uterus? ok, but why hormones in women causes mood swings? I never had any mood swings cause of the hormones, did you had? I didnt.

why is it such a difference between us? WHY????

I have always been too laid back and relaxed, always going with the flow and rarely anxious or nervous. It has gotten to a point that its a bad thing.... It's like everytime I do something I always end up screwing things up or making mistakes because I end up not being aware of the situation until it comes to me. I hate it so much.... makes me look so clumsy...

How can I change this?

Ive had crazy dreams as far back as I can remember (im 30), and I often have nightmares. I also remember my dreams every night, they are very vivid and so real. They could be box hit movies lol. The last few months, Ive been having nightmares at least 6 nights of the week, and Im waking up my children and husband because Im either crying or screaming in my sleep. Sometimes I wake myself up Im so loud. Im a very light sleeper, and Im up a lot in the middle of the night. My dreams are very gory, violent and disturbing. Why am I having so many nightmares and is there anything I can do about it? I watch what I eat before bed, and I dont watch anything crazy on tv.

Now a days I'm starting to think that morality doesn't exist. It feel's so hard to believe in it these days. Yes I know ones person's morality may not be anothers. "One size doesn't fit all." But many times one person's morality can actually end hurting another person. But if it's not in their morality, does it mean it was wrong?

What I'm saying is, it's just a constant CLASH! One after another these days. Nothing makes sense. People just seem to be such an endless lie.

So does morality exist or is what do and don't do?

Are you incorruptible, do you have a threshold?

We all know women can manipulate on the basis of emotion and beauty, so for me the question becomes...

What's the least you'd settle for?

(If you are a woman do feel free to answer as if the question was male/fem, or whatever suits your particular orientation)

Sometimes I can't shut my brain off at night! You know when you get a song stuck in your head and its in there even when you are doing other things? This thing happens to me at night only its not a song, its a t.v. show or something that happened during the day, and its not that I am worrying about it, it just replays over and over and keeps waking me up and I just can't get it out of my head! Help!

FYI, I got a speeding ticket last week, my second one in 2 months...and I have never tried to do the a$$ kissing with cops. I usually want to make it short and simple, get my ticket and leave. Also, I make it a point not to apologize (not sure why people do), if anything, it's the people who I put in danger who deserve an apology, not the cop who writes the ticket.

My cop friend said a lot of women do get a free pass by flirting. Have you done this? And whose fault is it, if it works? The corrupted cop or the woman who worked the corrupted system?

Why is it that when a woman is raped, she has to die? It doesn't make any sense! Shouldn't it be the rapist that gets killed? I just don't see why women are treated like that.

I'm desperately trying to understand the stock market and the Great Depression, so my question is this: What, exactly, is a stock market "crash," and how did/does it happen? Explain this to me like you would with a mentally retarded first-grader.
