I've just had a heated disagrement with my partner. He's in the Army, is due to go to Afghanistan next month and after discussing him going away he said that he wishes it was an all men camp as women shouldn't be on the frontline??
When I asked why, he said because he couldn't run past an injured woman but he could a man. I said that was his problem and he said no it's your's for doing a man's job!

particularly mind-expanding drugs are of interest. psychedelics: psilocybin, dmx, lsd, mescaline, etc. what was the setting you were in? what was the state of mind you were in when you took them? how did the drug make you feel? what were physical reactions? cognitive reactions? did you trip? any hallucinations? be specific and don't be worried about legal issues... they aren't important here.

The brain scan that can read people's intentions

Call for ethical debate over possible use of new technology in interrogation

Ian Sample, science correspondent

Using the technology is 'like shining a torch, looking for writing on a wall'. CT image: Charles O'Rear/Corbis
A team of world-leading neuroscientists has developed a powerful technique that allows them to look deep inside a person's brain and read their intentions before they act.
The research breaks controversial new ground in scientists' ability to probe people's minds and eavesdrop on their thoughts, and raises serious ethical issues over how brain-reading technology may be used in the future.
The team used high-resolution brain scans to identify patterns of activity before translating them into meaningful thoughts, revealing what a person planned to do in the near future. It is the first time scientists have succeeded in reading intentions in this way.

Hey guys! This is a strange question I know, but I was curious as to why people cannot remember anything from their infancy like their first birthday party? Does it have something to do with our brain functionality? Thanks alot!

I was considering changing my mind and going into studying pychopaths on death row. I find it fascinating how they can be so normal yet so disturbed. I know it would take years of school but it may be worth it. Anyone majoring in this or has a career in this please respond. ;)

I am dyslexic and find my brain often goes fuzzy when I try to organise things. I also find I forget to do something immediately after ive thought of it or am thinking of so many things I don't know the best order to do them in.

I'm looking for a clinical term so I can find more information - the situation is a mother feeling jealous of a fathers affection for a child and in turn treating the child very poorly. Verbal and physical abuse become the norm - which the mother attempts to hide from the father through manipulation of the child.

Stuck in the washing machine looks like she is trying to climb into it to hide?
Strange question I know, but I saw a cartoon picture of someone in a washing machine peering out with a fearfull face, it made me laugh coz it reminded me of an average woman who had had enough of chores, kids, bills etc! I have never seen the picture again....should have brought it at the time! Has anyone else seen that pic, if they have, how did it inspire you?

Husband says cosmetic surgery is too expensive - and I cannot pursue or debate this with him, I haven't the energy anymore. He doesn't understand... which, for reasons I won't say here, is EXTREMELY ironic. He says 'I'm beautiful'... his opinion doesn't matter... not in my mind's eye... I'm too tired to explain this to him, money is all he cares about anyway... I mean, who cares if I can't look in the mirror, right? I guess the bright side is that self-loathing is free...

So now, I have to reconcile myself to living with an appearance I HATE. I cannot stand the way I look. How do I fix this?

im 29 and i long to find someone to love me. im so isolated and alone all the time. my small, 1 bedroom flat is like a small empty cave, dark an empty. i have no friends to turn to..i feel like i live on the fringes of society, i cant work because of my dibilitating symptoms, high levels of anxiety constantly, feelings of inner rage and bitterness. when i go out i feel very paranoid, like all eyes are watching me, i become disorientated, feel detached from reality, and i feel angry at people, because my lifes worthless, empty, and unfullfilling. and everybody looks like there getting there needs met and that there happy and smiling..watching that makes me feel even more alone and isolated with my life. im awaiting a second opinion from a psychiatrist, because i feel i may have a mental illness a mood disorder or psychosis..ive never had any kind of a life since 16. im ageing very fast i have two missing teeth, front bottom lower teeth..im a mess. my lifes a mess. the girl from canada

Is there a confidential listener that a teen can go to to speak in confidence about trouble at home, without repurcussion? Teens want to confide and download problems without, in turn, someone coming and talking to the offending parent(s). I'm interested in Santa Cruz County, CA. All sources I'm famiar with are required by law to report abuse. There are teens who won't come forward because of this - but desparately need that listening ear. This is for emotional and physical abuse, not just sexual.

assuming a tramp has about the same amount of history as the prostitute ,but doesn't get paid for her services...or say that the prostitute doesn't get all that much bussiness ,but the tramp's average sized list tends to hit the gossip line more frequently than most because of the range of her partners and varying escapades.
