To show what I mean: If the liar is trying to get another place to live and have someone to always do her bidding and an extra check for a while, she might brag about her previous exploits to the person she's running the scam on.

Please before answering check the person's profile:

1- The account is recent. Let's say just a couple of days old and the person is already asking aggressive/insulting questions. This means it is probably a recurrent troll

2- The question is not serious, and it is obvious by the language and desire to attract negative attention.

3- They repeat the same questions/answers ad infinitum

4- They have multiple accounts three or more (I have a list I can give to you if you want)

Do you have other elements to consider?

Do you agree is better not to answer to them?

How to prevent other unaware posters to answer to these individuals?

For more details go to Yahoo Answers Forum. IF you have a suggestion post it there too

A lot of people now these days think that feminists are supposed to butch man-hating lesbians that want to strip women of their feminity. But, I think that's BS. That's like the extreme form of feminism, like how terrorism is the extreme and distorted form of Islam. Feminism to me is about the ethical and human treatment towards women and men, annot seeing one sex as being superior over the other.

Feminism is also about choice. You can still be womanly, sexual and be a feminist. If someone is telling you that you have to be a certain way to be feminist (such as dressing like a man), than that's just wrong.

What about the rest of you? Do you think that feminism simply means equality and choice, or do you think that true feminists have to be masculine and man-hating?

P.S. Some famous porn stars, Madonna and Christian Aguilera consider themselves feminists. ;)

I've been attacked a lot for my questions here, but I just think in regard to equality with men and women, it should be ALL or NOTHING.

this means if men and women are going to be equal it should be 100% equality across the board. And if not, then we should have gender roles. None of this "I want to get equal pay, but still not fight in wars" or "I want a strong manly man, but I don't want to cook or clean".

I feel like the feminists only want equality on certain issues

My little cousin (she's 8) has nightmares almost every night. They're about random stuff, to. One of them was about packmen, another one she was on a train and she jumped off and tried to walk home but when she asked some men who were chopping wood for directions, they chopped her up.

She does not watch scary movies or anything similar to them. For one, she hates them and will leave the room if they come on TV. I was talking to her about her nightmares and she said that before she goes to sleep she'll repeat over and over that they are just dreams and she can wake herself up. She then say that it sometime works, and that she'll be in the middle of a chase between her and a leprechaun and she will stop and tell herself that it isn't real and she'll wake up. But, this doesn't always work....so, any suggestions?

oh, and I didn't really know where to put this question...

I passed by the street and noticed in my right side something behind the bushes which is not meant to be seen. It was a basketful of bread under the canopy of tree. The bread is about twice the size of the palm and was purple or violet in color. I took as much as I can, some fell to the ground but managed to pick it up as I was struggling to reach home. I didn't hesitate to share/give it all to people(relatives) who are inside the house.

I know the dream was good because I woke up feeling good. While I may understood what the dream is all about. I need to hear your thought on this one please.

i have recently developed a habbit of talking to myself at all times of the day . i dont have conversations with myself . just like what I would usually think I say to myself. like if i've had a good day I would say " this has been a good day" or i dont want to do something I say " that is the last thing I wanna do." you may think its not so bad but I just do it about almost everything all the time , my boss the other day ask me if i had been talking to my self. it was kinda embarrasing

The person in question is a happy-go-lucky drunk but when he gets to a certain level of drunkeness he instantly snaps and turns into a cruel person, why? Someone told me that this is their true nature exposing itself when their guard is down?

For instance, I asked a question about one-night-stands. I got about 20 replies for the question. Out of the 20, there were only one or two people who supported my stance. But the remaining 20-odd people attacked me and resorted to name-calling because they feel one-night-stands are immoral.

But then just 10-15 minutes later, a person asked a question where he said it was immoral for people to involve in one-night-stands - exactly the opposite stance that I had made earlier. This question got like 30 replies - but what shocked me was that only 5 people supported his stance, but the remaining 25 attacked him giving well-thought-out, convincing answers as to why one-nighters are NOT wrong.

So, where were these 25 people to support me when I asked my question first? Why do you have to attack people to get responses out of them, but nobody is willing to support another?

I dont really remember alot of detail all i remember is violence, and alot of danger to all society. People were setting off bombs and i was running on what seemed like a dark gravel road and woods on each side people were in the distance killing......and i heard men's voices yelling " why are you doing this",...i was with someone cant make out who it is but i think it was a boy about my age and i'm 18. Basically it seemed like some type of terroist or gang...or some act against people. Thats all i remember now..but i remember thinking i was going to get killed or that i was dying.

Now i dont really take to heart what dreams mean sooo much but it helps me to figure where these emotions are steming from when i analyze my dreams because all my dreams seem very relevant most of the time. Anyways...what does this mean?
