Extremely loud and deep bass has been scientifically linked with suppressed homosexual desire (source-www.bedy.org) The institute for Psycholigical research in Pembry, Rhode island recently discovered that your brain makes chemicals while listening to very loud deep bass that are *identical* to the chemicals made in the brain when a man has a strong urge to perform felatio and other homosexual acts upon other men.

BTW, does this explain the giant diamond earrings you folks wear?

Having witnessed hundreds of arguments and attitudes, it appears that many people believe the person whose opinion is different to theirs is stupid. If you think the other person is stupid and they dont know it, then how can you know you are not the same? Surely they dont think that they are stupid or are aware of it, therefore if they are unable to know that they are stupid then it would also make it impossible for you to tell if you are stupid, so how do you know that you are not the one that is stupid and is unable to know it, and not them, if a stupid person cant tell that they are stupid and actually thinks they are intelligent?

i'm kind of doing an experiment here...

what do you think draws people to celebrities? why do you think they follow them and read tabloids?

i asked the same question in different wording under music and entertainment/ celebrities, to see what the people reading that section would say, if you want to see their answers its under "just wondering?"

Thanks in advance.

...if within every woman is a hidden "goddess", then is there a hidden "god" within every man?

I ask, because I have seen on TV many commercials that portray women as goddesses. I'm just curious how we women would react if there were commercials portraying men as gods. I wonder if we would accept it in the name of "equality" or make excuses to justify a double-standard.

Ok, let us say that the guys name is JOHN. So, john used to be a man filled with greed for money.
So "WHY" would he then later commit himself, leaving behind his greed--or rather, suppressing it--and become a Reverend?? He tells himself: "I am saved, I am a born again Christian" but we all know that inside him is still that greed for money which is prioritized over Christ.
Then this leads to the biggest question, then "WHAT" would cause him to later break out from his mask of being a Holy and righteous man and back to his own self of the man lusting for money?? What leads him away from God's path in order to persue money--through crime??

To win 10 points, answer the two questions above. Here's the summary:
1)What leads the man from being a money-greedy man to becoming a man of God (appearance-wise)
2) then what is it that tempts him away from that path.

A new subspecies of human called lamal has formed its own seperate tribe they have named celebrity We have survivor for tribeCelebrity and a seperate one for the "ordinary" folk; why must they have a seperate tribe and how does appearing in the media for 15 minutes, mutate humans into the species of Lamal? This tribe of attention seekers is like some sort of never ending virus that pops its head up everywhere it can with the same never ending story LookAtMeAllLookAtMeAllLookAtMe...
LookAtMeAllLookAtMeAllLookAtMe...
my name is oscar and I am on a flying red carpet. We regaurd implying one race is better than the other as wrong, so isnt putting ones own tribe on a pedastal doing just the same? Has the joke worn thin and is well past its 15 minute use by date? Is it time the magic red carpet ride was over and the never ending story should finally come to an end? When two tribes go to war, there can be only one survivor.

I have been quite worried about my own emotional state, and the emotional states of my friends. Some of my friends say that I have depression, and I was just wondering what the signs to look for are. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

They are predicting that it will happen within the next 100 years if we don't destroy ourselves first.
