Sociology - October 2006

If someone were to say, "Your mom smokes crack", "Your mom smokes pole", or anything else diragatory about my mother, I fail to understand why someone would get angry.

Who cares what anyone thinks about your mother (or anyone else in your family). Just because loser nitwit says something about your mother doesn't mean it's true...getting angry just validates what the person said...

So what's the deal? Why do certain ethnic groups get so offended when you make fun of mothers. To be truthful, the more they get angry, the more I just want to do it...'Cause it makes me laugh!!

**Lots of people might get offended, but certain ethnic groups are notorious...for instance, go to Mexico and answer, "yer' mom" to any question and you will get your @ss kicked...or Bolivia...or Chile...

We all know that women are less aggressive and violent than men on the average(for instance, women commit murder at eight times less the rate than men in the U.S.). In addition, men who are incarcerated for violent crimes have higher levels of testosterone than other prisoners, indicating that this hormone may play a role in male violence. So, in theory, at least, we could genetically modify our men in the future to be less aggressive and violent, and maybe our women as well. Also, in a world run by women, would there be less violence and aggression, or would women simply replace men as the aggressors? Does society need aggressors in order to function well?

Why does society view spanking children as taboo or abusive? Has it not been an effective child rearing tool for centuries?

Lets say the Martians finally decide to invade earth. I think ninjas are the only entities that could step forward to stop the alien threat. But the thing is, Martians have ray guns that desintegrate you, and they have big brains that allow them to think really fast. So they could form a good strategy really quick.
Ninjas are speedy creatures and could probably dodge the ray guns but may have a tough time keeping up with the Martian superior intellect.
Still, I think once the Ninjas discover they can crack the alien glass helmets its all over. Advantage ninja... opinions?

This employee acts as an administrative asistant to me and my partner. He seems to share a lot of time out of office with her on weekends. In most cases they are with spouses. For example go on trips together with spouses. But, sometimes go to lunch or dinner without spouses. Doesnt it jeopardize the professional relationship and does it jeopardize our partnership? Information about the company and possibly the employee performance is shared outside of the office (i.e. employee review status)

Does anyone out there find the idea of hypnosis or being hypnotized extremly sexy and erotic? I do, and its a big fantasy of mine to be hypnotized or put to sleep by a sexy mentalist (think the Phantom of the Opera) and carried off to his underground lair only to be romanced and seduced by him upon awakening. Does anyone share this fantasy or am I a freak? :)

they are very similar,and if taught correctly do act like humans,and if a child is brought up by dogs,it acts like a dog.
It seems to be all about the way you are brought up as to how you behave in later life.

My wife and I have been together for over 13 years. She has had a mariad of gyno problems equaling around 10 surgeries. She still has complications - procedure #11 coming soon.

This all has led her to gain 60% more than when we first met. Most of the weight has settled in the places I absolutely find unattactive on the female physique.

Gut (she looks 6+ months pregnant), chin, arms, back, back of her neck!

She's been trying to lose with 0 success.

We're mid 30's, she's developed rhumatory arthritis (in part thanks to the weight gain). Its become a little bit like living with grandma. I can't get this analogy out of my head.

I really do love her - she is still my best friend, but I find it difficult to be intimate with her beyond a hug and a kiss. It has burried my libido. It makes me depressed that at the prime of my life I'd rather ma5terbat3 than have sex with her.

I need support or criticism from people having gone through the same. There's more, but no room to write :-)
