What kind of person wishes to have a cyber relationship ONLY or mainly and WHY?
And I am not asking about the obvious practical reasons of someone being married, etc. But about the psychological reasons behind it and the right way to respond to such person.

My economics teacher has been repeatedly teaching us that the profit maximising point for firms is when marginal revenues equal marginal costs. Well, to maximise profit, wouldn't the firm want MR to exceed MC, thus making an abnormal profit on each marginal unit?

There must be more to this than my understanding, unless my teacher is plain wrong...

..when I ask a question intended to gather some insight into feminist mind pertaining to injustices of sorts faced by men.

e.g.
I asked for studies performed & promoted by feminists showing men to be good. Aside from about three which DID supply information, only insults came back from most feminists.
One of the supplied sources claiming to be 'pro male' actually used several "examples" of men beating women, nothing more.
(Everyday anti-sexism / Michael Flood) Look it up, and you'll see for yourself - this is pure manbashing NOT positive at all for men. If that example is anything to go by, I think it safe to assume the other 'pro male' study results were also man-bashing.

Additionally, I enquired about women's prisons being closed ... no feminist responses there. Does that imply feminists condone double standards of 'punish' men but 'help' women who commit crimes?

Men have largely tried to help feminists - so...?

So - does the silence say more than words could?

My husband and I have been happily married for almost 3 years now; we both have daughters from previous marriages and would like to start trying for another child. My daughter is a real sweet girl and cares about others as well as obeys her parents. However my step daughter’s behavior is totally unacceptable and she does not want to listen to me or her father, and yells at us whenever we confront her.

She recently came to live with us after she was in a rehab facility for anorexia and drug abuse. We have had uncountable episodes where she would come home at 4 in the morning totally drunk and high on drugs. After she was grounded. I recently found drugs in her room, and seen cuts on her arm. She also skips school, barely eats and I haven’t seen her sleep at all in a while, I have even caught her having sex. She knows the rules in our house, yet she disobeys them.

My husband and I have no idea what to do, I have tried talking to her, but I don’t know what to say.

Rape and how rape victims (male or female) are treated is something that every feminist I know is Very concerned about.

Since feminists seem to suggest that an accusation of rape essentially equates to (or at least heavily favors the) guilt of the accused, does that mean that Bill Clinton is a rapist? He was, after all, accused of rape by Juanita Broaddrick. Personally, I am willing to take his history into account (something feminists condemn when referring to the accusers) and believe that he may very well be one.

Hello everybody, I need help with a class project for sociology research here is a quick survey about society's feelings towards topless women and their breasts as oppose to topless men and their breasts. please please please take a few minutes to answer the following questions. :)
1) Do you feel women should be free to go topless? why or why not?


2) Do you feel that it is a double standard that men are free to go topless but women are not?


3) Would you (if you are female) go topless if you knew there would be no legal consequences? If no, under what conditions (if any) would you be willing to go topless?

4) Why do you feel society fears the exposure of female breasts?


5) Do you view female breats as purely a sexual object?

Thank you:)

I went to the hospital and they sent me home, false labor. It happened again, I went to the hospital and they sent me home for false labor once again. SO finally I knew I really as in labor and my hubby wouldn't take me right away because he didn't want to get sent home again. The next thing I knew we both were looking at our new son. What does this mean?

I do not understand why the Treasury Department has to step in to negotiate the freezing of mortgages rates.

Why cant the banks/mortgage companies use their own discretion by doing it themselves?

You would think it would make good business sense to freeze the rate and having a mortgagee continuing paying the mortgage than having the loan forclosed altogether...

An explanation to why these companies are not already doing this would be helpful. Thanks.

When you give a woman a gift, is it because you want to show her that you love her or is it because you want to get something from her? When a guy gives me a present, I always feel like he is trying to manipulate me or "buy me" (even though I never let him know I feel this way). What are your honest opinions on gift giving?

im 30 years old, i have borderline personality disorder.

ive had a very hard, traumatic, distressfull life, all my life.

i was sexually abused as a toddler...to summerize my life, i have been bullied throughout secondary school...never gained qualifications.....suffered street assaults.....been mugged when i lived in rough areas....spent 18 months in a psychiatric hospital....because i said things to psychiatrists as a cry for help...i made myself out to be dangerous......i have a criminal record for a common assault....carrying a knife when i lived in a dangerous area.
im actively trying to get help from the psychiatric services....but it feels as though im stigmad...& im being ostracized by people.
for a long time now...whenever i go out...people have this standoffish, aloofness towards me........i get stared at...lingering looks from people.....like im being singled out.

this behaviour from people has been happening to me for a long time, but ive tried to ignore it.

I will have dreams every now and then of someone dying or getting killed...and then a week later someone actually dies in real life. I will have a dream of a famous person dying and then a famous person will actually die. I will have a dream of a family member that died and a family member of mines actually dies. The last dream I had of someone dying was Alicia Keys...IT felf so real....until I woke up..it dawned on me that someone who is well known was going to be passing away real soon and it will affect me. A week later when I had that dream Sean Taylor was killed. Someone who is well knowned and an a famous athlete. His death bothered me terribly..What is this? What is this about? Where is this coming from. Everytime I have a dream of someone dying or getting killed...someone dies or is killed in real life.

GWS. Forum for all of us.
Do folk really care about each other?
Or do we merely post the odd question which comes to mind?
Christmas, I feel brings out the best in all of us.
We think about those who have not at this time of year.
OK.
We should throughout the year, but as many of us acknowledge, this is the time of year to help.
So, how are you helping those who have not this Christmas?

Some people know my worst side and do not believe I can ever do something good, others think I'm all cute and sweet and won't do anything bad. And IT gets frustrating because I've got a big desire to prove all of them WRONG!

Does it mean I'm insane?

Hillary in the AR Democrat in 1987 to the working families of the state, "it is just the realities of globalism" that free people should compete for a living against slaves. Free trade is a 35 yr old Communist plot to destroy America according to the 1963 congtressional record. Wal-Mart's corruption of America;s political establishment to capitalize from slavery while operating in a free market all to avoid living wages and undermine organized labor has nearly succeeded in this goal. What will WMT buy the Chinese military for Christmas this year? How much will you contribute? Think about it, you never bought anything made in the Soviet Union and still cant buy Cuban cigars because it was against our principle to profitteer from slavery. Why are we so rascist toward the Chinese that we dont have the same principle regarding them? Wal-Mart saved Communism to avoid living wages and intellectual idiots keep singing WMT commercials, stupid as they sound. WMT must be dismantled now.

We see, hear, feel, say, think what our nervous impulses show or make us feel. So the world we see is rather shown to us by somebody else.
Do you know from where you have came or where you shall go?
Whom does "I" exactly refer to when you say it?
