So I'm still on the fence about this abortion issue...pro-life or pro-choice...

Does abortion cause pain to the fetus/baby??

also if you are pro-choice or pro-life tell me why you are.

Thanks so much!!

I am so independant I exclude others in all areas of my life yet I cannot imagining depending on someone else for my happiness.
Are you dependant on others in relation to your happiness.

Perhaps I should rephrase after my last question. Can you please describe to me what it is like to only rely on your sense of touch? P.S. > if you haven't actually experienced this, that's fine can you just let me know what you think it would be like. Thanks.

What part of human nature does this appeal to that makes us laugh and cry at the same time?

Do men and women both get laugh and cry from watching this?

I don't get it... Why does it make me cry and laugh?

Have the deletion monkeys been at work again? Just had two perfectly innocuous questions censored and wiped out by the thin skins again! They were "Are feminist attitudes confusing?" and "Why does the BBC promote feminism and political correctness?" To those who had given answers to either of these questions I apologize for the inconvenience.

I was on a forum recently when the conversation turned to The Holocaust, and a young Japanese man (17-years-old) said that Jews and Roma (Gypsies) were killed by the Nazis because they were stupid and racially inferior. I said they were killed because the Nazis THOUGHT they were stupid and racially inferior.
Although he totally didn't agree with Hitler, he insisted that Jews and Roma were actually racially inferior and stupid. I'm Jewish on my father's side, so I was a bit pissed off and we had quite a long argument, lol.
Anyway, I've also heard that the Japanese are often casually Racist to black people, because the Japanese are so unused to them. Do the Japanese commonly hold these views, or was it just a one-off incident with a jerk?

Thanks very much for your time! Happy New Year! :)

shes almost 20 years older than me..i barely know her and most likely she doesnt know me although shes seen me around campus...im just intrigued by her...so smart and all that..i know this isnt healthy but i keep thinking about her...i do my best not to think about this person...but when theres nothing else to do..shes there again....

the thing is i observed our personalities are not compatible enough to have a mutual rapport...this sucks, i feel like im stuck in a rut..while this guy seems to really like her and they at least connect as friends....

Ok so, I had a dream that I was in World War Two, and I was a Nazi(even though I don't think that there were any female soldiers in WWIIO.o). It was sooo realistic, I vividly remember one of my commrades getting his head blown off right beside me. Before I woke up, I can remember getting shot in the chest, leg, and back, then I fell over and was about to die. When I woke up I was freaking out and screaming, and I had terrible, sharp pains in the places where I had been shot in the dream. I don't know what made me have a dream like that, I hadn't watched anything on tv or anything like that about war, or nazis, or stuff like that. And I find it weird that I was a Nazi because I'm mixed(half German, half black).

Some people are wary of public displays of affection.
Others do not feel comfortable about nudity.
Many of us think long and hard about whether and how to declare affection.
Almost all of us consider the choice to have a physical relationship very seriously.

Have we perhaps become too introspective? Are we over analyzing the way we express ourselves?

To what extent do taboos around sexuality destroy opportunities for intimacy in relationships?

I am engaged to a guy named Bobby and we are deeply in love. I couldn't see me with anyone else. But here lately I have been having a really weird reoccurring dream. I don't mean to be graphic but here is the dream. I'm having sex with my fiance in my room and I close my eyes and say his name and when I open them its my ex! Who I broke up with 4 years ago! And it makes me sick because I love my fiance very much and I DON'T WANT TO BE WITH ANYONE ELSE!! It almost feels like cheating to me! Can anyone explain why I am having these dreams? And how to tell my fiance without him getting mad! (We tell each other everything so its hard to keep this from him) Please serious answers!

There are those who are skeptics - of course, we humans don't understand just how the human mind dreams.

Others emphasize that dreams are an important spiritual event - perhaps one of the most important possible.

What do you think?

At first I said that I would never get married, then I said I would but I would not have kids, then I said I would have kids if I could afford a nanny, then I said no matter what but when I am like 30. Now I am 21 and would like to get married and have kids in like 5 years. These changes have come in the course of less than 1 year. Is this strange? Please don't be tooo mean!

It seems clear, especially on this forum, that there is often a great deal of resentment amongst some men towards women and vice versa.

What do you think causes it.

And is it justifiable to resent and entire gender, if so, why?

What causes Men and Women to Resent each other?

Last night i had a dream that i went to all these weird places with the guy i really like. He lives across the ocean to me but yeh wtv.

Anyway, it was like he came to my house and then he was really friendly to me (he's usually kinda..ignorant to me but nice to my sister)

We went to this like school place and did this game with loads of ppl but he was my partner..

It was like we went to all these places together and did all this stuff..but he was really nice to me! Like putting his arm around me and stuff.

I'm going to where he lives in the summer, my best friend lives there and knows him. But he doens't seem to be fond of my best friend so i'm unsure if we'll see him!

Is the dream a sign or just a random, unimportant dream.

It's been bugging me!

I do have quite a lot of RANDOM dreams about him and me with him being nice to me :-) If that helps..

If you keep having a reoccuring dream no matter how bizarre or out of the ordinary it may be (or so you may think) do you think it may come true one day?

I was talking to my mom in the living room and all of a sudden I fell asleep [my mom said for about a second] and I gasp and I woke up and I was looking around the room and I was hallucinating and seeing spinning shapes and I saw a man and I also saw an army soldier run past me and then dissolve.

My mom said that I looked scared and freaked out, she took me into the kitchen [I blacked out this whole part] and she said I told her that I saw a woman sweeping, then I got scared, I have no Idea what I saw but I woke up in the bathroom puking and pointing to the ceiling.

The next day my mom told me that all of that happend but she didn't see anything.


I read somewhere that right when you're about to fall asleep and dream and someone wakes you, you're still stuck in dream mode and it can take a while to get out of, is that true?

What happened?

Often I have noticed people's behavior change from what it used to be on the first encounter. They can be charming and provide you with attention but than after a while that doesnt remain the same. When I notice this change it worries me so I assume that I have done something to disappoint that person and he/she doesnt like me anymore therefore my personality shifts from being content to acting cold and distant. It gets very confusing because when I feel that something might be a problem I will ask if there is anything I did wrong and the answer I always end up getting is that there is no problem and this person likes me the same so nothing has changed. A friend of mine also added that I want people to worship me in order to feel satisfied. This actually strikes me as a surprise because I just wanted some reassurance which doesn't last long when I see people changing so rapidly.
Am I just being paranoid and noticing little things or can there be some truth in my suspicions?

Tabitha, the tiger, killed one person and injured two people. Tigers rarely kill people. People rarely kill other people too. Are some animals psychotic like humans? In 1898, there were two lions who killed 135 people in Kenya, Afracia. Just like there are humans who kill multiple people.
