If homo sapiens popped up all of the sudden about 10,000 years ago give or take....why did only 5 civilizations pop up through out the world around the same time, when the rest of the world stay as hunter gatherers. If Darwinism and survival of the fittest is correct then why didn't the whole world evolve at the same time to this cultural state of advancement? I do say cultural but at the same time higher states of intellect must be in place to conceptualize these cultures..It's a contradiction to say that we evolved from evolution but only a small fraction of the whole world evolved intellectually right after that to build great ancient agricultural civilizations when the rest of the world was still hunting and gathering like their ancestors.

With their anti social behavior. It's not the skin color folks! It's their behavior in public that makes people shun them. What can be done to make them understand this!? If you don't know what I'm talking about it's because your to young to understand, time will educate you on this unless they change . Trust me! People don't dislike Muslims because of their race it's their social behavior. If it was the color black that was the problem people wouldn't like black cars.

I will respond to your answers later I'm sure some of the answers will prove my point about social behavior and mentality in subject.
Enjoy watching some of the people who reply get worked up into a frenzy. :-)

I seem like a left brainer, being good at maths, science and being logical but I think very visually (also have good spatial skills) and am quite creative. Hiow could this be?

What annoys me about supermarkets, is that they don't hire most applicants who apply for jobs.

This question, is based on your opinion.

I would think solid definitions would be great, I have looked through my book and nothing seems exact.

If someone makes me angry or insults me I can't just let it slide off my back and get over it. I have to get even and make them feel 10 x's worse. For example- if someone even just insults me on the surface, I'll shoot back with something that cuts to the core. I'll find their deepest vulnerability and expose it. Like I have to get revenge to make them "regret" challenging me. Kind of like "Ha! Try messing with me again".

I'm not proud oft this- I really want help for it. I feel horrible after I do it. I feel bad for the person and ashamed that I can sink so low to truly hurt someone emotionally.

What can I do to stop this? I've been like this ever since I can remember- even when I was younger I always had to have the last word and I'd get revenge on someone for doing something mean to me (I'd hide their favorite doll or something)

On the flip side- I'm a quiet person that likes to help people in need. I volunteer at homeless shelters, food drives and habitat for humanity.

I love the idea of empowering women and all that but lately it seems that all the stories you hear and news is related to some type of hate towards men and I think feminism is starting to be connected to women who hate men. Please share your opinion.

Have you ever seen those Egyptian mummies?
I just saw one one TV, it was a women and her mouth was wide open like she had been screaming.
Wouldn't the people who buried her close her mouth?
Does that mean she totally died in pain?

They were many different sizes and colors. It hurt like hell to pull them out and my hand didn't bleed even though they were in there pretty well. That's the only part of the dream I remember. When I woke up my hand was fine, as in I hadn't slept on it funny or anything. What could that possibly mean?

in my basement..reading a book and there were snakes.It was as though they were some kind of a nuisance, like they were bugs to me, and I resolved to chase them down and kill them. I saw one very closely...it was on the couch, it was probably about half a meter in length, it was light green, and I saw that it had a rattle on the end of its tail, which was blackish. And it occured to me that I should be careful, because rattlesnakes are poisonous.
That's all I can remember.
Ever since then, the snake symbol has appeared to me very frequently in my waking life.

Well, you guys all know who Angel is right? He has a T.V show and played on Buffy the vampire slayer. His real name is David Boreanez. Or something like that.
Last night I dreamed that I was kissing him. Don't you think it is weird how dreams feel so real? It felt like I was actually kissing him. Really weird. What do you think?

I'm in a room just by myself when a girl dressed in mod clothing(1960's Audrey Hepburn) comes in. Her lipstick is bright red noticeably. She walks in a bedroom I've never seen but somehow know it's mine. She ask me to unzip her dress and I oblige. For some reason I find myself turned on by the sound of the zipper. Next thing I know she strokes my hair and we start making out on the bed. She stops and then puts her black shades on and leaves. Can someone interpret this reoccurring dream?

I know there are exceptions but most men are always hornier than women...Is it our hormones or what?

I cry over children and people with developmental delays, disabilities, and diseases. I cry when someone or something dies in a book, a cartoon or on TV. I'm supposed to read Charlotte's Web again for my Children's Lit course, and I haven't been able to pick up the book, b/c I know I will cry if I read about Charlotte's death again (as a 19 yr old adult).
I cry over almost anything sad to do with other people, and I don't know why, but I just feel like I know their pain. I want to hold them, and love them, and make them better.
Am I overly emotional? If so, is there a way to change myself?

I was recently hired as production supervisor for a certain project that is part of a company. This group had prett much been left without day to day supervision because the Project Manager travels a lot.
The company itself is looser than I am used to (honor system hours, etc.) but this group is even more so to the point the rest of the workers can be a little mad at them.
So how do I tighten the reigns without a lot of whinning from the troops?

I'm just wondering if this is normal or if it's "psychic activity". It's like you see what's going to happen before it happens, but in a dream. Before I found out I was pregnant, I had a very vivid dream that I was with my husband in the bathroom and I was taking a home pregnancy test and in the dream, I seen it turn positive with a + sign. About a month later, I'm missing my period, I take a test and it's positive but it was the one with lines instead of + or - . Then, I had another dream a couple months later that I was holding my baby, and it was a boy. He was dressed in blue and I was holding him. When I went to get my ultrasound, we find out that it's indeed a boy. What could this mean? Is this just a coincidence or what? I've had several other dreams that have come true as well. What's up with that?
