I'm writing a novel about a main character that loses all self control. I want to see what people generally feel and think when they're angry enough that they have to use self control not to do something illegal.

I have never really believed in coincidences, but recently a lot of incredible coincidences have started to happen to me.

The odds of some of these things happening must be incredible.
Anyone ever heard any theories on coincidences?

I have heard time and time again that its because you know you are going to be tickled. The problem with this theory is that I can sit someone in front of me and they can move toward me to tickle me (and I know they are going to tickle me) and it tickles anyway. I pretty much know the answer, I want to know what you all think.

I am really confused with this whole sex thing. I could write a novel describing exactly why I am so confused but I'll try to make this as short as I can.

My family is somewhat relgious and I spent a better part of my childhood going to Sunday School. I wouldn't consider myself extremely religious but I do base a lot of my moral decisions off my religious beliefs. Basically I was unintentionally taught (I wasn't directly told this but it was implied and I learned over time) that sex is basically dirty and disgusting and is a sin and you should only save it for marriage/ someone you love.

This is what I don't get: If sex is dirty and is sinful and all those bad evil things, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THAT TO SOMEONE YOU LOVE? Why would you want to do such an evil thing to someone you love? It doesn't make sense.

My head is about to explode because I just don't understand it. I'm literally afraid to do anything sexual related because of this. I need help I know.

As an American, I reserve the right to use any word I please in any context I please at any time I please. I will not be censored! I will very happilly shoot the dumb f*ck who presumes to tell me what and what I can not say. Other than shouting fire in a public space the constitution allows me to say anything I damn well feel like saying. How do y'all feel about that?

Let's say no humans grow any taller, heavier or stronger than a young child, but have conventional adult intelligence.

How would your life be different? Would we kill most dogs due to our own insignificant size and fear of being preyed upon?

Conventional construction for example, would be nearly impossible so perhaps more technical innovations would exist to make up for our physical weakness.

Imagine professional sport? There'd be no sporting elite as we'd all be the same size and ability!

How would you adjust or how would life be different?
