Social Science - 13 December 2007

Can anyone recommend a good textbook or primer on mathematics used in economics. I am going to grad school and need to brush up on the fundamentals.

Thanks.

Recently I asked how people felt about a national sales tax to replace the current IRS system of payroll/income taxes. Someone mentioned a flat tax system - I was wondering how a flat tax system could benefit the working poor and the middle class ? Would it be better for them , or would it just save the rich more money ?

Me and this married man were messing around/talking to each other for about 2 weeks. I have a b/f and he has a wife. Yes I know it was wrong and everything but I learned. Please just answer the question I am asking. We met at the gym cuz we both play racquetball. Well we stopped talking a couple of weeks ago b/c his wife was finding out and going w/him everywhere including the gym. There is still an attraction there def.! Tonight I was up there playing with my b/f and the other guy was also there playing his friend. One time, I got up and walked by him and he smiled at me.Then later he walked passed me and banged his racquet right by my leg up against the bleacher thing I was sitting on and looked at me and smiled and asked me if my b/f was mad cuz of him. I catch him looking at me when he is playing w/ his friends. I just want to know from a guy what all this means? I feel like he still likes me... he is still flirting with me... am i right? Will he come back for me one day?

I often hear people say in the Gender and Women's Studies YA Forum that they know what feminists think, as though all feminists have a party line or the same exact belief system.

Yet others complain that feminism is inconsistent, since many feminists have different sets of beliefs. Other social sciences like Psychology have many different types of psychologists, theories, and ideas, as well as Sociology. Biotechnology, a blend of science and technology, is made up of many different ideas and theories, and no one knows if money being invested in different types of biotechnology will come up with a useful product. Why is Gender and Women's Studies held to a higher standard than other social sciences like Psychology or Sociology?

When I was about 6 or 7, I saw a traffic accident where a man on a motorcycle got hit by a car in a parking lot, and as he was lying on the pavement, I actually saw the life leave his body - he just got this vacant stare as he was looking in my direction (maybe at me?). I haven't seen any accidents other than fender benders, or anything else traumatic recently. What could trigger these dreams? They're getting really disturbing.

I pulled into this large church parking lot that was gravel and got out went in like I knew it well went downstairs and went into a room where my favorite cousin was with 3 guys talking the guys got up and left the room when I went in like they didn't want to even speak to me then my cousin started being mean to me. So I got up to leave. I went out into the parking lot and saw a guy I went to school with but was not really friends with we didn't speak and then I saw a dove fly up beside me and I stopped to look, the dove kept flapping it's wings but was staying in the same spot right beside me. It had something on it's left wing that looked like blood. But the closer I got to it the red turned to blue and that wing stops flapping but other keeps going, then I wake up zny ideals what this means?

My interest has been peaked about this subject lately because I'm readying a book that although it is fiction it takes place in both present day Egypt and Egypt in the 1950's & 60's. I was wondering if it was still done. Or was it even done during that time period? Is it practiced in the US or has it ever been practiced here?

Pretty much any information that you know on the subject can you please share with me.

Thank you so very much for your answers.

Submissive women are just as strong, smart and outgoing as non-submissive women yet so many say that to be submissive is to be stupid or a doormat. That's just not true.

For those men who don't seem to like strong or independent women, what do you think of women who serve in the military? How do you feel about women serving in armed forces and at war?

I usually wear a t-shirt and undies. Sometimes I like going to bed wearing nothing but not this time of year. :)
