With technology advancing the way it is, there will be one day when an unborn child of any age will be able to live outside the womb or in an artificial womb (they are working on this in Cornell btw) Therefore the "its my body" or "until the age of viability" reasons will not be able to justify abortion like they do nowadays. What do you think?

I have come across people who, when talking to you, feel the need to drop things into the conversation like, what they bought and how much it cost. I, personally, think maybe they are insecure and feel the need to prove themselves. What do you think?

I have a very small family with maybe 3 or 4 cousins max. No one very close to me has ever died, save for my great-grandmother when I was very young.

My 13 year old cat has been showing signs of slowing down -- he's lost a lot of weight, drinks a lot of water and looks very tired a lot of the time. I know that there's only so much that I can do to help him since old age catches up with all of us. I want to make him as comfortable as possible. I'm just afraid of the day that we will have to bring him in to be helped or put down. I don't think I'll be ready for it. Any and all advice from anyone with experience in dealing with sick or dying animals will be greatly appreciated. I realize that a dying pet is not on the same level as a dying family member, but that is why this is such a big problem for me. One of my cats was killed by a car a couple of years ago and it still saddens me. I can't imagine what it must be like for your husband or child to die. Words of wisdom please!

When it comes to masturbation?

In my opinion yes.

Think about it, a woman has to be 'in the mood', be in an appropriate enviorment (in bed with spouse, etc), be all emotional, and just go through all this other crap before she can truly and correct masturbate.

A guy meanwhile doesn't have to go through all that. All a guy has to do is excuse himself from a social gathering or something, go around back behind the building, unzip and have away with himself and be finished and relieved in 5 minutes before returning to the party as if nothing happened.

A woman feels the urge? she has to wait until she and hubby get home and get 'in the mood' before it can happen.

A guy feels the urge? go to the bathroom, unzip and do your business, wash your hands, return to the party and have fun.

Sometimes a guy dosen't even have to be sexually aroused if he feels like jacking off. He just does it cause he can. A woman however has to be all emotional,etc

You see where I'm getting at? Agree?

Many a man has lost a woman because he could not control his anger, which can result in physical abuse.

And I think about the girlfriend who I am leaving after several years who cannnot comprehend that she has a problem:verbal abuse, as if I were her emotional punching bag.

I don't think a lot of woman can see how destructive it is to there relationships, that they have some God-given right to keep needling, nagging, moaning, complaining even when your a decent guy who makes good money, supports his family, and works to do the right things in life.

Have you ever been at a point where you did everything in the relationship to come up to speed, only to find a NEW laundry list of "problems"...

Your thoughts, please.

I’ve had this dream twice now; both times it has been slightly different. Basically I’ve been watching too much TV cause this dream has characters from a movie I watched a few times but I just want to see if there’s any meaning. I wouldn’t have cared if it only happened once but twice in about 3 days and I get curious. Probably nothing but still... I’m at an opera house with my best friend. We are standing in a crowd I can’t quiet remember what happens next but something happens and we find out that some bloke is trying to take me down underground (because he lives there (now THATS TV does to ya)) I grab her hand and we run down the street. The houses are cottage like; simple, brick, white windows. We run to the left for a few houses and run inside one that turns out to be a book shop. In the first dream at this point the woman hides us and then i wake up but in the second dream she hides me in a store room out the back under a table with a blanket but my friend runs away.

I'm very shy and introverted, but a friend of mine said I have quiet confidence. What is meant by that? How can you tell if someone has quiet confidence?

A few years ago I would say that I had a major obsession with everything "Buffy" I never missed an episode new and reruns, spent hours taping them, before buying them. Instead of using money I was given to go to school I waked to school stoping along the way to purchase Buffy comic books. I purchased every book that was written about Buffy, and my notebooks were submerged in Buffy stickers. I just could not live without Buffy. To make a long story short. Today my home has absolutly no sign of Buffy. I gave away all of the books, and threw out everything else. My question is do you think it is possible to outgrow and addiction if so can a person outgrow smoking, or pornography.

But one interesting thing comes from this. If women are better at multi-tasking overall wouldn't women be better drummers than men as well? I think that is more of an individual thing and neither sex have the better ability but rely on one being musically talented. But if anyone knows anything about music is that very good drummers have quite the multi-coordination ability and are definitely multi-tasking. A very good drummer has to be able to hit the bass drums with either left or right drum stick or both while stepping on the floor drum in beat and in sync while hitting the bass drums. And also alternating over to the snare drums while doing these other things in harmony and rhythm or while keeping the beat going or changing it up but still keep the beat going in sync with the song.Then don’t forget the crash symbols and all this multiple coordination without losing rhythm and keeping the hands and feet to be in sync all together.

Through the last few years I've discovered that my Dad has a rather unique relationship with his mother and it's really weird. He'll make excuses for her when she does something wrong, he'll go to her house if he has something that needs sowing on his clothes (rather than going to a tailor), and he seeks her approval for everything. It's weird and freaky and I don't know what to do about it. What should I do?

Ok so I've only had 1 lucid dream. At first it was a regular dream and it was at my school. A camera and a bulldozer were battling in the hall.....weird, I know. But I was the camera, so I could zoom around but the bulldozer was too big. Then it transitioned into another dream where I was holding the camera. I realized I was dreaming, then made myself hover, but I could feel my actual body lying on my bed. I was freaked out at first so I tried to scream, but no sound came out. I could clench my fists in my lucid dream body though so I had some control. I'm scared that if I lucid dream again I won't be able to control my body and I won't be able to end the dream when I want to or something. And I heard about the spirit guides? And how you can 'summon' them in your lucid dream? That seems really scary to me! I don't know, it seems so weird. I just don't want to have a half-lucid half-freaky spiritual dream where something happens or I lose control....what to do?

I just read about an experiment done with 10 mice.
5 mice listened to classical music for 10 days.
5 mice listened to rock music for 10 days.

After the 10 days, the two sets of mice had to do the exact same maze. The classical mice completed the maze in a minute and a half(!!), and the rock mice completed it in half an hour (!!)
Also, the study couldn't be continued because all the rock mice killed each other!!!!(None of the classical mice did)
Isn't that amazing?!
I'm going to start listening to classical music!!
So anyway the question is, what is it in classical music that has such an impact on the brain?

Psychological manipulation or physical abuse? I can see how being hit would be very traumatic, but wouldn't a parent or sibling who head trips them and gives them distorted views about the most normal things in life be worse?

Thank you for your input.

it seems that educating people is a good way to make things happen, but trying to create laws that limit personal behavior (objectification by women of themselves in the media), or trying to have the same number of women as men in government organizations that less women than men care to be involved in in the first place. or saying that women should have to be paid the same as men by privately owned companies. and so on and so on. does this not reflect socialist ideas? do you believe that socialism is the way to go?

What does it mean if you often dream about tornadoes?

In one dream I’m sitting on a swing set in the middle of a desert, there is nothing else around and it's sunny and hot and then all of a sudden there is a gray spot in the sky and a tornado appears...somehow I know that I have to pay the tornado 5 dollars or it will kill me (weird, I know) so a few more appear and I have to pay them each 5 dollars...but then I run out of money and I jump off the swing and start running...suddenly I'm in a big city and I see an amusement park and all my friends are there...we go on a roller coaster and as soon as we're at the very top, right before the first drop, tornadoes fall from the sky and i have to climb off of the roller coaster because it just sat there...i run out of the amusement park and somehow I arrive at an old creepy looking house...from the outside it's small but inside it's like 12 stories. I hide in a closet underneath a stair case and the tornadoes enter the house and search for me…one finds me and magically grows arms and tries to grab me. It finally gets me and when I look closely it looks as though the tornado has a face. Then the dream ended. That’s just one of many of my tornado dreams. But it always starts as a nice day but it turns dark and tornadoes start chasing me and I do everything I can to escape. What does this mean?
