and insulting questions on the same subject ..each with a slight change in the wording ? Noticing the same name on several vile questions - but choosing not to respond to hate , I was curious all the same and looked at the questioners Q & A . What would make someone so miserable that they sit down at the computer and decide to spread some of that misery around , day after day ? What is your take on this ?

Have you ever noticed that? It's been the bane of both my father's and my existence almost since birth. A related phenomenon is the simple observation that for many of us, we can more vividly recall certain memories from our childhood than we can recall memories from even just the previous day. Now what's up with -that-?

I wish Mary and her partner of 14 years (Heather Poe) all the happiness in the world with their family. But, I can't help but wonder what Heather will think when she finds out that she is not legally considered a parent.

My wife never told me her feelings or expressed her needs. I thought she was happy until she ran off with a coworker after 14 years together. My friends told me that surely she talked to you about not being happy. And no she never did its like she internally exploded and is rebelling against me. what gives?

One would assume that women, who tend to be lighter, would have huge success as racers, yet there are very few women who race and even less who win.

My brother had gone off to college and I was left alone upstairs and I was totally unused to the quiet since my bro always played music at night.
It took a really long time for me to go to sleep, but finally, after saying the lord's prayer repeatedly, I drifted away.
A little boy was getting a shot. I saw the needle going in his skin and he screamed. Then the little boy was suddenly in the garden in our back yard playing with a dog. He had a band-aid on his arm where he had gotten the shot and he was happy. I woke to the sound of a child (the boy from the dream?) laughing loudly in my ear. His maniacal laughter shattered the silence of the dream and I was awake and shaking (I really hate needles and all) it was as if he was right beside me

There was nothing to make me dream this, no i hadnt had a shot that day, no I have never had any insane people in my family history, and NO I have never seen this little boy.
All I am aware of is that the house that I live in now is REALLY old and a little boy used to live here before something happened to him. thats all i know and all that my mom will tell me.

I just spent the weekend with my girlfriend and it was fantastic. But now she wants a deeper commitment. She wants me to dump my other two girlfriends and date her exclusively. Of course this will not happen. So their goes another good thing.. ruined because women always need "commitment".

Why can't we all just have a good time ladies? I'll commit, but asking me to make you number one is just asking too much. Brad is number one.

I don't just mean copy you in little things such as buying the same things as you, but copying your entire personality. I have a "friend" that is stealing my personality and views on every issue. i know they wern't like this before, but the more im near my group of friends, the more this one idiot friend keeps copying me and its so annoying and it makes me angry. people say we look like brothers because he keeps copying the way i look even. ahhhhhhhhh F*&K him

I have recently had a dream about a friend that was rather hot and steamy. I do not find this man attractive and I have a good looking man of my own. In the dream we were sneaking away to a cottage on the beach and made love all the time. It is crazy to me because I never thought of this guy as my type. Does this mean that I have a secret crush on this guy or am I just wanting a little more action in my life. I have a good sex life, but not the one that I would like sometimes. Right now I am happy with it. Help, I am a little wierded out by this.

The concept of a "generation gap" was born in the 1950s due to shifts in young people's social and economic environment. Rock and roll was clearly one factor in this new generation gap. Do you believe the generation gap still exists today? Is it an inevitable fact of life for future generations? Is the gap widening or getting smaller?

Pornstars seem to violently defy socially accepted sexual ethics and behaviour. They are willing to go to any or all extremes on camera for money. I am curious about any psychological analysis of pornstars; i.e. what makes them so willing to act as they act on camera? and how are newbie stars so open even in their debut films?

''current affirmative action programs are based on the belief that to overcome discrimination, we must practice the discrimination. That perverse logic has created a system that undermines the fundamental values it was intended to protect.''

This is going to be really really long and I'm sorry, but serious answerers please post...

I'm 15, and throughout my life I have had trouble making friends....I'm okay in social situations soemtimes i guess, but when i was really little 3-4, i would always lock myself in my bedroom when we had people over ....this also happened when i was 9 when my mom threw me a birthday party....

I feel like I can't love anyone, or feel love. I just don't really want it either....I hate the words "I love you"...I guess I care about some people, like my mom....but it pains me to say I love you...and i feeel absolultely no emotion when someone tells me that, even my mom.

Is this a pyschotic or mental disorder??? please help! I will probably attend a counselor soon but I would like responses with people of knowledge...

A guy friend who moved to another state a year ago. We didn't know each other well but since then have kept in contact by chat..once a mth or so. Now I have to visit his city for work and he said he'd love to meet up. Problem is I'm now thinkning about him a lot..he wrote that he's going to fall in love with me & also said hurry up and come visit. Thing is I don't know him that well & I'm just worried as we don't chat very often. Now its a few wks since we've chatted..usually he contacts me. It's making me insecure & worried but I do know he's really busy now. Problem is, the last contact (by him) was six wks ago when he checked again when I was leaving! Then a week ago, I mailed him to tell him the date I'll be there and am waiting a reply. Why hasn't he got back to me? If he was interested wouldn't he be in contact more?
