This is a potentially scary question, but does "the truth" mean the same thing to men and women? Can men handle the truth about women? Can women handle the truth about men? And do either of them REALLY want to know "the truth" as the other sees it?

If anybody wants me, I'll be hiding in a corner...No, I'm not saying which corner...

Whenever i go out to socialise i dread awkward silence,i usually say anything just to avoid one from happening and then i feel like it's obvious i'm forcing lame conversation. I'm shy anyway and always feel the silence is my fault,any advice how i can prevent this?

According to a Muslim Cleric in Australia, women without headcovers are "meat asking to be raped".

Perhaps we need to reclassify males as subhuman since the very sight of human hair makes them drop their pants and attempt to push their penises into women like wild animals. They kill, they fight, they behave in outrageous ways and they expend tremendous amounts of energy attempting to force females into submission.

It is obvious that as a gender, males are incapable of behaving in a respectful fashion that allows other genders to exist in a safe and nurturing environment. Like any wild creature that injures, attacks and threatens the life, health and well being of humans, perhaps it is time that we cage these beasts and only those who have been certified as non-dangerous and life threatening should be allowed to live amongst the rest of us.

Women will, of course continue to raise young males until they exhibit threatening behavior.

So, is it time?

Things like someone slipping on an icy patch and falling on their butt, or someone being hit in the head with a basketball, or dropping an armload of groceries all over the street, etc.
I hate to say it, but I have done that. I know it makes me appear insensitive, but sometimes it just hits me as being hysterical, and I can't control myself.
Of course, once I get myself under control, I always try to run over and help, but they usually give me a dirty look. It makes me feel bad, but I just can't help myself sometimes.

I bit my nails (I know that its gross) but I have noticed that people who have certain personality traits in common with me also bit their nails. Is there an explanation or is it just a coincidence?

I have often thought that by requiring people to work in the public sector (not neccessarily the Armed Forces) for a small period of time that the country would benefit greatly. For example, people would respect the fact that public money is not limitless and they may develop a greater respect for benefit handouts. It would also teach people self respect and may lead to future employment. Would this make the country more productive?

Now they're saying if you DON'T turn your TV completely off and just press the standby button it'll cost you an extra £40 or something a year and also cause unnecessary carbon emssions - are you like me thinking I'm happy to pay the extra money for the convenience & comfort of being able to turn the telly on from my my bed or armchair and feel they could probably find other ways of reducing carbon emssions without political correctness interfereing with peoples personal entertainment ?

The much maligned 4x4 and wanting to penalise people for using them when - as the man from the Top Gear programme pointed out, that some of them are now more fuel efficent with less emissions than some smaller engined cars - isn't this just about jealousy ?

And all this recycling rubbish (if you'll excuse the pun) - what is the point of recycling rubbish when half the time refuse goes to the recycling centre and the recycling machine breaks down and the rubbish ends up in landfill anyway ?

What makes it so easy for some people to remember almost everything about any subject? When some people have trouble remembering anything at all. I am very interested in how different people remember different things.

Do you love doing personality quizzes online or in magazines? I'm trying to put together a multiple choice personality quiz to analyze the different preferences people have. I will be issuing it to people working in different careers, to see how their preferences compare.

I'm going for things like:

What kind of wine do you prefer?
a) white
b) red
c) rose.

But it can cover all subject areas from personalities to food choices to romance.

Can anyone come up with some question suggestions, cos I'm starting to run out of ideas!

As Iceland has started to harpoon the sea mammals, would a concerted boycott of things Icelandic help change minds of a few Zealots on Iceland.
