People that have absolutely no ability to distinguish between someone trying to rile them up and legitimate questions?
I mean, do people seriously lack some sort of gene that allows you to understand sarcasm? Or is it just a matter of the fact that they're just not intelligent enough to understand?

They are all wrapped together in one and goes in this progressive order.
1) I am in New York attending NYU and we go to a fast food place (it varies from Taco Bell to McDonalds though usually Burger King) and we have to take off our shoes and empty our bags and pass through metal detectors to ensure that we have no bombs or anything like that... I remember decisively that when I get my burger it is always cold and soggy.
What's weird about other than the obvious is that I do not live in the United States, I am not even going to NYU for University... I'm going to Cardiff.

2) I know this is stupid but.... my teeth keep falling out. Like all of them and I swallow them. Sometimes I swallow them whole, sometimes I chew them before swallowing them. Then I have to go to the dentist to get surgical implants for all of my teeth.

3) I wake up one morning to discover I am 7 months pregnant with a note telling me it is this guy. Let's call him Rex. Rex and I were once on the verge of going out b

Well, positive energy is the base in which success, happiness etc thrive and grow. Negative enrygy gives rise to depression and anxiety. Well can anyone tell me how can I make myself overflow with positive power?

The fight is between the extremists and our government, not between the moderates and our country's fools.

Islam, Jews, Christians... we all believe in the same God, but argue over the dumbest earthly principles ever. Christians have the worst history, Jews refuse to believe in the history they've made, and Muslims are currently a history in the making. Prevent more war from happening. You'll never be able to get rid of an entire religion, race, etc... NEVER...

Leave it to people who have good all-around judgment. I approve of this message.

i have lived in Louisiana all my life,and as im sure you know we have very wet weather all year round. . .I was in the 7th grade when one day after school my dad was outside grilling steaks.All of a sudden it got very dark outside and the wind picked up.I was standing at the back door watching my dad grab the food and move the grill,as he was heading to the door a tree up-rooted and fell on top of our patio covering almost landing on my dad.He ran inside with scraches on his head.That was the day that changed my life.We had recieved wind gusts off a tornado just right down the road causing the tree to up-root.I have been in two tornados since.Every time there is even a drop of rain outside I break down.I just can live with this fear anymore.If you have delt with this fear or know somone who has,please give me some kind of advice.What methods have helped you over-come this,even what meds.The only thing Im not willing to do is stand in a storm.Please any advice is welcome!Thank you!

Whenever i'm in a shitty mood, or feeling really bad, I dream of Aaron. He's this guy I met 2 years ago before I met my current ex-bf Ari. We hung out from Jan - July before he shipped out to Germany (and now Iraq). We went bowling, saw movies, and went out to eat several times. Our first time hanging out together was on his suggestion, to the mall. After, I developed some true feelings for him (and still have those today). And after we went to the movies, he told me how he wished he hadnt enlisted so early, because he wanted to spend more time together with his friends and myself. But anyways, this dream... it starts out with a hurricane, and i'm injured by a window that had been shattered, and i'm bleeding all over my body. Then, i'm at my grandma's house, and Aaron tells me he's leaving, and he's outside... so I run to him, and he picks me up... we kiss. After he leaves I grab one of hooded sweatshirts, put it on... and start bawling. I can smell his scent on it even in the dream.

I noticed that my teacher constantly interrupts me in class; something that he does not do with other students. How do I get him to stop? I tried asking for permeation to speak by raising my hands (my friends don’t do that), and it didn’t work. I also tried to keep talking as he interprets, still didn’t work. What would you do?

Imagine you are just walking around and in your head you have music like they have in the films such as music from when your just walking along and thinking about stuff or when your upset about stuff and the musics slow and mournfull.

in case you hadnt guessed this is kinda inspired by the episode of family guy when peter has his own theme music.

I work with a lady in her 50's and so far, she has contradicted everything I've said. Not that she really has to, but she has never, ever agreed with me on any matter. To my knowledge, I've not noticed her do this with anyone else in my workplace (although, I suppose I'd notice it more, as I sit opposite her). Does anyone know?

Depends on our perception
1) If we take them as commodity than Demand and supply governs it.So they get what they deserve?
2) i feel they are overpaid if we see the amount of effort they are putting.

...really so useless???
I`m Cancer.I visited a site with zodiac signs
+ read about a full desription of my sign. They wrote that "cancerians r shy, introvent, not with a great mind or opinions, passive + withdrawn". They r too mussy + sentimental, that is why they r "negative" signs + don`t make good leaders, rather than followers.
Maybe it`s not a serious thing, but I`ve always been having a sense of weakness, vulnerability + shame in front of other people.

I REALLY FEEL USELESS.

I don`t go out much (I don`t like it anyway), I`m bad at convincing people (though I have great ideals + ideas + want desperately to speak my mind), & always have a FEELING THAT I AM DEFEATED AT CONVERSATIONS ETC.

I`m feeling really shity right now though I know that this is a false description of who I am but again, I don`t seem to get out of this nightmare I`m in.
Imagine feeling defeated everyday at school, nobody pays attention to u + laughs at u + the worse thing: u know this is not u!
