    struggling with homosexuality

    I can relate to the need to find someplace to be able to talk openly and to be able to ditch all that self hate. I hope you find some people you can talk to - you can talk to me, though I not exactly a 'bro' but I know those who abstain, who recognize it is part of them, who struggle and...

    female masturbation, since women have six primary areas which can lead to um...sexual fulfillment - to be a good partner sexually, you need to know your body. But also, the number 1 cure for female migraines is masturbation (47%) - more effective than medication, and the largest group had...

    1 in 6: instead of Why me? Why not me?

    Studies of North America show that 1 in 6 people have a disability, some invisable. Many have a higher rate in women (MS 4:1, Alzheimers 2:1, Lupus 4:1, Breast Cancer 10:1, CFS 5:1, Fibro 4:1). I would like to know what you have learned from your disability or from friends and family with...

    How accurate is the BMI system really?

    Yeah, I ramped up for the nationals and in Epee, I was facing #32 in the world, #1, #14 and #39, as were all the other women there. I asked this one international competition about the problem regarding jeans and how I gained 20 lbs and she was, "Welcome to Epee thighs" - the need to leap in up...

    How accurate is the BMI system really?

    Most power forward in the NBA are listed as 'grossly obese' along with all olympic sabre fencers and female epee fencers. The BMI has a significant problem for tall women - you can be 141lb and 5'9' but if you are 6'4" then you should be....148 lb. Seriously, the same height that has males...

    Man, 71, gets 21 years for wheelchair bank robbery

    Excellent, I think the US should wake up to the dire threat of those in wheelchairs. I even would go so far to say that maybe some profiling should be done: "In wheelchair....probably criminal" Oh, that might be a bit extreme but people in wheelchairs are not saints (and depending on the...

    Is China evil?

    While the US, not China has the highest percentage of prisoners by population, I don't think this is something that should be debated by politics when using words like "Evil" Are there people who do acts which are harmful to others in China? Yes Are there people who do acts which are...

    Does it really go away?

    No. Any more than any other addiction goes away. If you uber focus on something else then it may fade, but like other addictions, when stuff gets hard, it comes back. You can either convince yourself that you need to be closer to God (because of course God never wants us to be human or...

    Are all medicinal drugs ethical?

    I see there is a topic on regreational drugs. How about them medicinal drugs? Are they ethical. Turns out a lot of people don't like those anti-anxiety drugs, they think it is a plot (I read a newspaper article which said that bipolar was a classic example of explotation of getting people...

    Voluntary Euthanasia

    Many people feel while able bodied that "If I were like that, just shoot me" etc. Unfortunately is it this exact fear (which is an unknowning fear, since it is like a Unbelievable Weathly person looking at a peasant shephard and deciding that someone "in such a state" must be one of...

    Would an American victory in Iraq be worse then a defeat?

    I guess I am a little confused; Iraq currently has less stability, less electricity, less clean water, more disease, more rape, more crime, less business, billions upon billions of dollars in property damage, an infrastructure of decades eliminated (for example the BBC was simply looking at how...

    (Rethinking) Gender

    It is an interesting but actually incorrect concept; as the ISNA (Intersex Societies of North America) has been working for a few decades to try and get a least doctors to understand, it is not what is down on your birth certificificate or (how they used to determine gender - with a ruler with...

    What quality makes you "Christian"?

    Well, I don't think I am a good example of being a Christian though I know I am one (particularly not a good example if you are talking about Organized Christianity). First, I do not need the label to be a Christian; it is something that I am; a relationship I have. People who have deep and...

    (Rethinking) Gender

    Thank you for bringing this up. Science already accepts that gender identity and chromosomes are two different things - as intersex and mosiac conditions have told us. As for "if I was put in the other other sex I would deal with it" - that was a big belief in the 60's and 70's when doctors...
