Social Science - 9 December 2007

I'm thinking in terms of scientific proof not in terms of the prejudice of the do goody brigade. I am against drink driving but If a small amount does not adversely effect someone's ability to drive should we be lowering the limit further.

Please do not preach. I will respect the opinions of everyone who answers this question. If you can give me a good reason to believe that a small amount will adversly effect people's driving abilities I will change my mind!

TY

Its really lonely, and allot of people just stare at you and say nothing, a few have come up and shook my hand and a few said thank you,,,? no one has ever said is there anything you need or want or how do you feel! I lost allot of my friends in vietnam and the ones who made it back are so sick or just brain dead to life. Thanks for the thank yous and the hand shakes, I'll remember them as long as I live. Thank you all for remembering us veterans and thank you to the people who say or do nothing....I'm not sorry for going into the service but I'm ''sorry for being a disabled veteran''.......

how would you survive the thought mentally? its like a pain you will never forget, what would you do if you've killed someone, not saying you have but stil, wouldn't it be a mental pain for you you have to bare forever, i can't imagine anyone would just live after killing someone accidently, how do you survive such a crazy expirience, i've beaten up a lot of people and i stil feel bad about that, what would you do if you kill somene? my opinion would be commiting suicide to stop the mental pain, since nowone can help you with these type of pain right, i can't say i ever killed someone, but after playing a lot of bloody killing games like GTA san andreas my mind is playing tricks on me not knowing if i've killed someone; whats your story??

I really want to be a dental assistant, however, I'm introverted and I don't really like to talk to people a lot. Does this matter? And do you still think that I could do it?

An attractive woman entered a professional sport generally dominated by men. (I won't mention who because that is irrelevant to the question.) She said she should be judged by her performance in the sport and what she contributes and not by her looks, in other words its not about her body but about her skills and performance. Shortly after this, she anounced that posters of her will be given out to some and sold to others. Many of these posters show her (hardly) dressed in a bikini. Does anyone see a blatant contradiction here and maybe a little hypocrisy? This is not to demean her in any way, but what she says and what she does seem to be self-defeating.

Today a friend and I were in Burger King (I'm part Puerto Rican/rest European mutt, my friend full PR) and this guy overhears us talking to each other in Spanish and he started talking to us acting all "surprised".

According to him, he thought we were just "American" and was especially shocked of the thought of me having latin heritage (just because I have white skin, brown hair and light eyes). The guy was South American, do they all think that they are the only latinos or that all hispanics either are immigrants or indigenous amerindian?

And people say white people stereotype latinos and people who have latin blood and are white or black, but honestly I think its the ignorant South Americans/Mexicans who are even more uneducated about it. They don't realize that their language COMES from Europe and that its totally possible to be white (like me) or black and STILL be hispanic.

So why do people still have this image of a dark featured and skinned mestizo as the only latin

I act totally different around different people and i'm usually really shy. People can probably tell that i'm insecure and i want to be able to define myself and be that person butI'm afraid of what people will think, especially because i'm mostly known as the quiet one. Please help me, I don't care what you have to say every little thing could help!

Then you realise they are talking to someone thru their earbud or something. But you cannot help but make this disturbing mental analogy. As this person passes by you, with this certain animated look on their face, you have a vision that is not unlike what you would imagine that the truly insane people who are locked up somewhere would similarly be doing.
Who else has had this vision?

i am a serious perfectionist. i have no idea why..but if i cant do what I'm doing perfect, i get reaalllyyy upset.

I am rarely happy with what i do....because it isn't perfect, it's not good enough.

Of course, I'm a good student, but I'm always afraid i'm going to suddenly fail something...or even get a 'B' on something. A 'B 'is NOT good enough to get into any college, i think.


Is this really bad??

I said to my daughter the twelve years that she had to study more because only people who study is that can have a great profession and have a better future in life. She replied to me: But father, if all we will die one day, then we do not have no future unless death. Questions such as these have disturbed the soul and imagination of man in all Eras. Regardless of our country, color and creed, we all hope for the same things: love lasting, true happiness and peace of mind, truth, beauty, meaning and a reason to live. What is your opinion?

Let's suppose you lived in a rented flat, attended college and a part time job. Then you attempted sui*ide and failed and had to spend time in medical/mental hospital.

What happens in regard to your home/college/work would you lose it all or would you be given so much time to get back into it? What if you had to stay in hospital for a few months? Would everything still be in place for you coming out?
