okay if we are being specific. Then if DSM is when a man or woman is dominant and just does strange things to people for their personal gratification then what is it when a person loves to be a slave but hates gratification. Its like they enjoy being a masochist its just that certain things in the symptoms of this masochistic disease just arent things that they want or feel. Is that still masochism? Im not asking for a diagnosis because im pretty sure this disease is what it is. I just want to know if it has a name. Wanting to be a physical slave and do phyisical labor for their "master" AND wanting pain enflicted on them in a sexual reference. What is this called?

FWIW, one of our articles states:
You appear to be describing masochism. I'm not sure / I doubt that masochism per se is a disease. DSM is not "when a man or woman is dominant", it indicates three things, dominance & sadism, and masochism. -- Tagishsimon (talk) 12:04, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
yes but what if they dont want the "master" to lift a finger, but somtimes they do. Its just a mood that over takes them now and then that makes them just want to be submissive in everyway possible but other times be pure dominant. can you really have such strong lifestyles in both? i know its sadomasochism but isnt that wanting both at one time. what is it when you dont relize that you feel that way? If its not a disease and you dont know you feel that way then what can it be? its not a sexual fantasy because you feel it all day long. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chaela89 ( talk • contribs) 12:12, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
I've been having a discussion over at Talk:Felix Mendelssohn#London cab about a report I read that he left the only available copy of his incidental music to "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in a London cab and had to rewrite the entire score from memory. As far as we can tell so far, there's no basis to this story. However, it got me thinking. We've mentioned 2 real cases where writers did have to start from scratch all over again, but I'm sure there are numerous other cases. The same might apply to composers whose scores were lost or destroyed before they were ever printed, and they had to be recreated from memory. Or painters. Any ideas, folks?
If we had an article with a list of such details, what would be a better title than the one I jocularly suggested? -- JackofOz ( talk) 14:00, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Seems we're straying into the whole subject of musical memory, which probably deserves an article. It would certainly encompass all the above examples, but it would also cover the ability of a soloist to play concertos and whole recital programs without a score in front of them; and the ability of singers to warble away in 4-hour operas in languages they don't speak at home. Thanks for all the contributions. -- JackofOz ( talk) 21:04, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
Does the Catholic Church have (or has it ever had) a stance on what happened to people who died before Jesus was born? Did Jews go to heaven and no-one else, or did everyone go to hell? Have they ever taken a position with regards to people who didn't have the opportunity to learn about Christ? Thanks in advance. 90.192.223.228 ( talk) 14:29, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
I know that there are different religions with the same name like paganism with A higher power, Or believing in the nature's elements such as Sun, Wind, Fire, Forest and Earth so on and so forth. What category would this religion fall under: Beleiving in God and Satan not as enemies but as partners. When the earth was created it was created with Good and Bad. (Rocks can be beautiful but you can also throw one at someones head.) Beleiving that we were put here to see how far we could get from evolution. Like a bet. That is how people have happiness and anger. Whichever the person holds more of God or Satan has more power over their head and heart. and satan is not neccesarily evil. Just grumpy and in charge of peoples feelings of anger and sadness. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chaela89 ( talk • contribs) 19:01, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Amba Prasad G S ( talk) 11:27, 16 September 2008 (UTC)When we question ourselves or face querries regarding the existence of God and Satan. I acknowledge the fact of Good and Bad which has been mentioned above. Good and Bad are very absurd terms to use. What I feel is Good can not be accepted by the other. The relativity of usage depends on individuals' outlook and the culture in which they are brought up. Acceptence of certain facts depends on various cultures. However, i always believe that the moral standards remain the same across all countries, religions, cultures and people. The basic standard of living, respecting the other human being and living in the society as a human being is most required.
You know, one of those mummies with the bandages removed like they have in the dark room in the Cairo museum? -- Regents Park ( count the magpies) 20:35, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
I remember having a conversation with a friend a little while ago, and he brought up the subject of conspiracy theories. One of his favourite theories was one that seemed mild at first. Stories of banking families and all that, but then wound up with five people who controlled everything, except they weren't people, they were shape shifting lizard men from outer space who ate humans and ruled over us by pulling the strings so to speak.
Does this sound familiar? I'd like to know who came up with it or what radio show it's from. Cheers 70.79.61.172 ( talk) 21:00, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Recently, I've contacted the United States Postal Service regarding sending international money orders to a few museums in Italy and Switzerland. A representative told me that those two countries don't accept international United States Postal Service money orders. Are there any other ways I can send financial contributions to a few museums in Italy and Switzerland? 72.229.139.13 ( talk) 21:07, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
