Why is it that we are the 'odd' ones here, often giving lengthy and provocative answers?

I can't help myself laughing when I read some posts recently on a very simple and straightforward question but the LONGEST was from a Theravadin Buddhist, going from scratch to enlightenment.

Honestly, that was a GOOD post but I wonder if a non-Buddhist would ever comprehend what we're trying to explain to them?

I can't help but being labeled as a long winded person myself. Is it just 'us' or has it got to do with our commentary/Dharma books which influences our ways of intellect after years of nerdy readings?

LOLs...

I made a habit of refilling the fuel tank on my car at halfway. Does it actually make a difference in performance or fuel efficiency?

My mother has always put herself before everyone. She's never proud of us, her kids, for our own sake, has threatened suicide, badmouthed our father to turn us against him, had tantrums on the floor when she didn't get her way, and used to constantly tell me I was selfish when I didn't take care of her (I was only a child). She wants attention and admiration 24/7 and won't even let me study.

I am still suffering as an adult. I am staying with my grandmother (and her) while I'm in school full-time and it is getting worse. My mother has not prepared me for "life" and I find that everything I need to know, I have to learn myself!

I had to pay hundreds of dollars for driving lessons because my mom didn't "feel like" teaching me to drive. She won't "let" me use the washing machine to do the laundry myself. My student loan debt is getting higher and higher, but if I move out, it will skyrocket.

I've been nothing but respectful, but now I am very resentful. How can I keep sane?

say, for instance, in the contract to buy a condo a 60 day closing period was agreed upon and both the seller and the buyers sign the contract. Just before the closing date (say 4 or 5 days) it is made known that the seller will not be able to attend/sign by the closing date. Do the buyers have any rights/recourse? What should the buyers do?

I'm not gay but live in a gay neighborhood. It is the NICEST safest neighborhood I ever lived in in my life - the people are so sweet and loving and caring - to me the nicest people I ever met are living in the gayborhood.
I was considering becoming Christian again (I used to go to church when I was a little kid) But after reading the attitudes on this board by SOME religious people toward gays, it completely put me off being Christian. I love gay people and have found out they are not choosing to be gay, they just are. This board has taught me that Christians (unlike atheists, buddhists, others) have a bad attitude to gays which has completely put me off becoming a Christian again -I am sure Jesus wouldn't have wanted them to be spoken about the way people on this board do and I think it is very possible the bible got a bit messed up in translation. What happened to Jesus' love for all - did anyone else find this board made them less likely to take up going to church again?

I would like to know what makes them the best (experience, degree, atmosphere, etc.) and I would like them to shy away from prescribing any drugs, but rather work with the paitent to correct the problem. It is for a love of mine and she is willing, so I just need to make sure I send her to the best possible candidate and he/she can correct the problem. PRICE IS AN ISSUE AND IF IT IS A FEMALE THAT WOULD BE VERY BENEFICIAL. Please let me know why they are the best and how to contact them.

after your baby's birth, did your doctor willingly prescribe you medicine, or did you have to "fight" him for it? What did he give you? did it help?
