If you had the means, would you disappear, or have you ever thought about it? Either pretending to be dead or missing, just vanish and start a new life somewhere else as someone else. And why?

I see people give the reason why gender discrimination can't exist is because they personally haven't experienced it. Are these people so lucky, or so privileged, or in denial, or lack empathy, that they can't see even one instance of unfairness, for just one person because of their gender?

Is this way of thinking similar as the thinking of people who say they have never experienced racism, or don't see any racism or don't see what the big deal is about racism?

If someone hasn't experienced gender discrimination, does that mean it doesn't exist? How can someone think their personal experience is exactly the same as millions of others?

I firmly believe that the average person, if you don't have moderate to severe mental health issues, shouldn't go to see a psychologist or a psychiatrist. We all need life coaches, best friends, people who care about us to give us advice, etc, but these professionals seem to exist to treat "mental illness" and they don't really seem to be there to be your best friend. Oftentimes, that's all people need.

And, furthermore, psychiatrists over-prescibe medication. I used to think, there was no harm in this, as long as it makes you feel better, right?

WRONG.

I've experimented from SSRI's, to anti psychotics, mood stabilizers, and the benzodiazepine family.

The ONLY med I to this day will take and is great is Ativan, part of the benzodiazepine family, since it doesnt seem to produce dramatic affects on your personality.

You're still you, just more calm.


HOWEVER, SSRI's, and the anti psychotics and mood stabilizers, like Paxil, Zyprexa, Prozac, Lamictin, Effexor, even af

yahoo answers is stupid. it deleted my question. LAME. it was a good question. I was serious. I honestly am wondering what is wrong with our world. or society. the US...whatever.

every other day..."A shooting at this church" or "10 people injured in a mall shooting" or "6 killed and 2 injured in school shooting"

I live in a really good district. STILL. we had a threat for a shooting at my school. WHAT IS WRONG WITH US. WHY IS EVERYONE GETTING KILLED.

Two of my friend's dad's committed suicide. My brother's best friend's brother just drowned, and my best friend's friend died. A girl from my school left the room crying because she wasn't sure if her friend was still alive or not after a shooting. my history teacher tells us about columbine, and how she was at a neighboring school, and how awful it was.

WHY?! kill yourself for all i care but dont TEAR APART INNOCENT FAMILIES JUST BECAUSE YOUR LIFE ISNT PERFECT. THATS THE POINT OF LIFE. IMPERFECTION.

I had a dream quite sometime ago (about 3 yrs.), but still haunts me. It was were someone was howling in pain against a wooden wall (I'm guessing it was in a cabin), blood was splattered all over the walls. The person was huddled up against the wall, he had been shot. He looked like my older brother. Everytime I think about it, I see the dream in my mind, just as clearly as that night.

I think it's redundant because women are a gender, right?
I think it should simply be "Gender Studies." What do you think?

I apologize for offending anyone on this website during the past 6 weeks. Fact is, I'm getting tired - not of YOU - but of tossing pearls into the swine pen. As for my age and gender, don't worry about it. I'm a very contented man, perhaps having a mid-life crisis. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. He's 71 for Christ's sake (for want of a better term). But what you DON'T know is my guaranteed goal in life; that is, to be drawn and quartered for a sexual offense when I am 142. If anyone is interested, you might reach me on Lycos over the next decade or so. Peace and goodwill to all you nice ones: Female AND Male.
