Is there any such thing as IQ really? I've taken a ton of tests and they all range from 95 to 142. Does anyone have a definate number or do I just have smart days and dumb days?

During the tsuanimi disaster two years ago, a gal who displays her wares raised money for relief, and she asked customers to contribute. The particular caberet in our neighborhood is licensed. How would you compare this with the story of Mary Magdalen, for example?

I responded to an obvious minor who asked a question on here about feeling depressed and then she added a comment saying she had considered jumping off of a roof.

I went into concerned-mom-overload and wrote an answer about urging her to talk to her mom, find a church official, a school counselor~ but cautioned her about mentioning thoughts of suicide, as this could bring unwanted ramifications.

I offered a suggestion and link to go to a suicide hot line, so she can talk through her feelings with someone and remain anonymous.

Today, she privately messaged me to say that~ oh, she's NOT suicidal or really depressed, she was just bored that day and then once she jumped off a roof onto some pillows.

I am feeling as though I could have inadvertently caused myself some legal trouble here? Somehow I feel as though I crossed some boundary trying to help a child? Why are there no guidelines on these forums, such as "must be 18 years or older to participate" ???

I had a dream about attempting to open my locker at school. Unable to do so, I kicked the locker in anger, forcing it open. Once it was open, I looked inside, and there was nothing there. I then shut the locker, but it just opened itself again. Still nothing inside. After I tried to shut it again (Where it simply opened up again), I woke up.

...What does this mean?

I’m 24 years old, and I have never been on a single date, and I would like to here from you why this might be. I would also like to know that I’m not the only one with this problem, because I really feel weird that I haven’t been on a single date yet. Do you think subconsciously I might just be waiting for the right girl. If so why do I think that way? Also am I the only one thinking this way, waiting for the right girl? I really hope I’m not the only one.

Every year, our school leavers are getting higher and higher results, our country is simply overflowing with smarter young adults, and yet, things like Big Brother and X-Factor pique the nations entertainment taste buds?

I'm sorry, but you need a single figure IQ to sit there wasting millions on texting TV shows to vote for one worthless example of human failure over an other. Who is doing it? Is it these same kids that leave school with ever improving exam results?

The UK is devolving into a nation of bottom dwelling retards, and yet every August we produce evidence that things have never been so good.

Someone please make sense of this for me?

Im curious about something. See when I was growing up, my dad always put me down by saying that I hung out with people younger then me. For example I would be 13 and have friends that are 11 or so then 14 years old, have friends that are 12. Now I'm 26, and feel that all my friends have to be my age or older. I hang out with people in their 40's and feel comfortable, and it seems that society is ok with it. Now if I want to live in a college dorm, they people would look at me funny and say that people in dorms ages are from 18-20, so why would you hang out with people like that? I'm like is there a big difference? My question is why do people look down at others who are friends with people who are younger? Also why don't people say, wow that person you hang out with is in his 40's, he's too old for you.

also it seems like the more conservative someone is, the more likely they would do this.

The concept of chivalry was born from the desire to help and protect those considered weaker. I am in perfect health and am stronger naturally than most guys that lift weights daily. (I only lift once or twice a week).

So, I give up my seat and open doors for everyone. Who knows who is sick that day or just finished chemo?

My wife has a big problem with this. She says:

#1: Only women are deserving. I say, why not be courteous enough to let anyone sit that feels they need to?

#2: That according other women chivalrous treatment is wrong. It's OK to stand or open a building door.

But, I should not open car doors for other women, help others with a coat, help others get seated, etc. These things should be reserved for her only.

I believe all people should be treated with good manners.

We've gone round and round on this.

How do I convince her that good manners are deserving by all, male, female, wife, UPS guy/gal, co-worker, or stranger.

because of everything in the news?? Do you think the anger it has provoked is justified? Is it racism??
