Thu, 10 Jan 2013 07:15:23 -0600

Hallo very interesting article, I am preparing a book dedicated to Urban semiotics. Part of the book is focused on the concept of the City as a personality, although surveyed in different metodological way compared to those described in article.

I am writing a contrast paper on this topic. The diffrences between athiest and Christians. Is there any advice you could offer on a simpler plane?

Laughter (part 2): The Evolution of Human Laughter - Comment by drogers

This is a life changing moment!“It is not uncommon for an alcoholic or addict to be admitted to one of our treatment facilities totally defeated, devoid of hope, denial washed away, resigned to finishing out their remaining time in a chemically soaked haze. We know this as the bottom, not the end, but a starting point, a place where most addicted people need to get before a l. . .

Others suffer from their own choices in life and the lis. . .

I looked this up as I wondered why I moaned during making love.I personally have no control over my moaning it just seems to happen when I make love or even when my boyfriend massages me as certain areas like my lower back are extremely sensative.. a lot of girls say they fake it but I never have to..

Blogging Carnival - What is Psychopathology?: Origins - Comment by Marisa Hendrickson

Sun, 11 Mar 2012 23:23:42 -0500

Psychopathology is a very complex topic. I really enjoyed some of your points, like that mental disorders could have been an adaptation that was appropraite at some point in time for humans to survive. I had never considered mental disorders in this context. However I think this view point could work with the view of disorders being caused by traumatic life events. If someone goes through an un. . .

Welcome back. You have been missed, but taking breaks is always good. And I agree with you about the doing nothing when you have nothing to do.

Well,I think what you wrote in your last post is actually true to some extent.I'm saying this because I'm from an asian country and some researches and results I see on the internet is not applicable to our lives.Even relationship advises and stuff.May be it's the cultural difference,I don't know for sure.Anyway thank you very much for trying to explain this :) . . .

Very punny article. I don't think this is surprising. It is a very particular belief that a lot of us have, to think that our brain is separated from our body, when there is no real reason why it should be like that (Damn you Descartes!)

Wait...aren't you agreeing with me? Sorry, I must have phrased it badly, but that's exactly what I'm saying - Apple frees us from making choices - by differentiating their brand enough that it seems like a wholly unique category, by limiting variation and accessories within their products, and by presenting their various products as a single product package. All great ways of freeing us up from. . .

That's an interesting point, but I would disagree. Advertising can help define the category, for sure. A big enough push and another tablet might be able to break into the mind-share apples owns. Spinning my wheels here... what if we choose Apple because after choosing it, we don't have to worry about choosing again. Let me explain - Apple is a package. You buy an iPad, and you need iTu. . .

Interesting talk! I agree.One thing it made me think about - he says that advertisers haven't cottoned onto this, otherwise they'd stop offering us so many options - but I don't think that's quite true. For example, I think this is one of the reasons we adore Apple products so much - they have managed to differentiate themselves enough from the competition in terms of design and use. . .

Ah, just me being grumpy. It would only make people think if there was some possibility, however slim, in their worldview that signing a contract could actually harm their soul...and I think that possibility is so totally ridiculous that it would be really sad if anyone actually held it. . . .

I'm sorry, but this whole idea depresses me. Personally, (1) OF COURSE I would sign away my soul for a cookie. Even if I believed in souls. For instance, I would sign away my Self for a cookie, and I (sort of) believe in my Self. The ridiculous part of the proposition isn't anything to do with souls, but, as you say, the conditions under which they might be transferred. I would gladly s. . .
