Sophia in the following answer that I got from her. I can understand her point!
Religious fanatics are mostly emotionally and mentally weak people. They have a hard time dealing with turbulence's of every day life, so religion offers them a constant support. It must be nice to be able to blame all of your actions on God, so you do not have to take responsibility for them. They also enjoy getting together with others like minded people: their strength is in numbers. They gladly give up their ability to think as a payment for sense of belonging. Being led by the nose by power hungry religious leaders is their every day reality.

However, intelligent and self assured individuals could never partake in an arrangement like that. Because we are used to question everything.

Also, what about men? Are all men beautiful?



Also, what exactly constitutes beautiful for you? Should beauty refer to the person as a whole, or to just their physical traits?

This is inspired by an answer a woman gave to another question recounting disappointment finding that a young man she described as "bright, thoughtful, and physically beautiful" was incompatible with her in the size of his genitlia. (Presumably, from her other comments, he was too small for her.)

She remarked that, "it does kinda suck that women have to commit to sex to find out."

Is this unfair? Is there a way to correct such unfairness? Should such women ask? Can a woman not "back out"? If a woman feels somehow pressured into not backing out when she wants to, does she feel violated?

I mean especially the ones that have been in Yahoo for a long time, reading the questions and answers from contacts. Don't you care about them as people? Or you just see them like talking avatars? How personal you feel about the people in the other side of the computer as a fellow being?

I have posted a suggestion onto the Yahoo boards requesting that we have a "counter" showing how many times each question is viewed, because I think it would be fun and informative to know.

As this is the section that I post to most, I am posting this question here.

If you would like to back the suggestion, would you visit here?

Hillary - or any woman at all, for that matter?

2007-11-21 16:18:34 · 6 answers · asked by Anonymous

First off, I like Obama, so it's not like I'm a big Hillary supporter.

And, I get that many males are threatened by a strong female leader with (God forbid!) ideas of her own. But, what did Hillary do personally that upset women?

Is it she doesn't bake cookies? She is not feminine enough? She stood by Bill after he cheated? What is it?

I'm just curious because my boyfriend (who is 47) says that at his age, it's common for men to lose some interest in sex, and that the "male machinery" doesn't respond as quickly as it did when he was younger.

Your thoughts?

I recently had a conversation with a friend, regarding this topic. She says that a victim should EXPLOIT the INJUSTICE to the Media, rather than accept only a Restraining Order against the so called, "Rapist." Unfortunately, the details that was given by the individual who stated that her friend was raped and that she lived in the same apartment complex as the Rapist only received a Restraining Order. Not to mention the so called, "rapist" is video taping her in their apartment complex. I find it hard to believe that a victim of rape would only receive justice by being granted a Restraining Order.

Anyway, how many of you would believe the story to be true or false. And if exploiting the injustice to the Media would be benefecial for the victim, and those who may feel that the victim has been raped by the system in giving her a Restraining Order against the so called "rapist.?"

Yes, there are agencies, but what more can they do, besides psychologically helping the victim?

In the animal world, there have been many studies based on mating rituals, and clear patterns emerge about behaviour patterns both for the species and between genders.

Some attempts have been made to apply the same kinds of studies, most notably in books including "The Naked Ape" by Desmond Morris.

It occurs to me that in Western Society, a great deal of our "moral code" is designed to control, or associate guilt with our natural impulses, often those imposing guilt also offer forms of absolution and in so doing exert enormous psychological control over those who feel guilt.

It is also interesting to note that some of the most vocal repressors of sexuality are oft times exposed to be highly deviant themselves (viz Ted Haggard).

Students of history and culture will also note the changing attitudes to age of consent, homosexuality, polygamy, promiscuity and deviance throughout the ages so...

What is "normal" human sexual behaviour?

"A request for a change in a person’s behavior must be handled with great diplomacy. One may want to sit down with the person who is causing the conflict, admit one’s part in it, and explain why the situation has become intolerable to you."

I copied it from:

which is a women's site. I really like the sentiment, and a lot of people could benefit, eh?

Ask a pro-lifer, and they answer "Life begins at conception" & when you ask them when conception begins, they tend to not understand the biology of that process as well as pro-choicers. Right, wrong?
