Any supposedly good Religion is not meant for this purpose!

So why do they still do it knowing it is a, natural human deterent.

What are they hoping to acheive with this sort of suppression?

I have been always surprised how I can't predict my reaction. I always thought that in case of danger I would be extremely nervous, but I have been very surprised that both times I was in serious danger (one strong earthquake and one armed robbery), I reacted in absolute calm.

How about you?

This dream, or shall I say nightmare, I had just a few minutes ago really frightened me. The dream was I was crossing a long bridge that ended up as an underground tunnel. Very common where I live. My mom calls me telling me that I better not be hanging out with a certain person. As I'm arguing with her I'm trying to put my seatbealt on and start to lose control. I end up going off the bridge in the tunnel(if that makes sense) and for a moment I enjoyed it because it was like a roller coaster. I felt the butterflies and all. Suddenly **BOOM*!! Keep in mind i have never been in an accident before. I felt the whip lash, a black out with what seemed like a stobe of lightning and i felt paralyzed. I tried to wake myself up but I couldn't move. I thought that I had really died. It took me awhile after being semi conscious to actually move my body. I have never had a dream like this in my life. If anyone has any thoughts on what that might mean it would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, this wasnt the whole dream but the only part I remember. There is a huge Aztec statue in front of me and I am worshiping it. I am trying to release the spirits from the statue for some reason. I put my hand on the statues head and all of a sudden I become possessed by this spirit and it is inside me. I become possessed and I can see nothing, I feel very light and I feel myself spinning round and round uncontrollably with many other forces around my body, and the spirit moving around. At this point I am very scared, but somehow manage to keep myself calm and keep reminding myself that it is going to end and that I will be stronger when it does. Suddenly, I can no longer feel the spirit moving inside me, and slowly the forces on my body fade away. I wake up in my bed, still feeling very lightheaded and after 5 minits get the courage to move my arms and leg to make sure it is all over. I feel extremely relaxed and soon drift off back to sleep. Anyone know what this dream could mean?

This morning i had my first nightmare in 5 years or more lol.

It was very confusing and didn't had sense at all.This is what i remember:

So it started out like i was in a room and in that room a woman(which didn't look like my mother....you'll know why i'm writing this) was staying in bed when all of a sudden a storm came and the roof broke down into pieces and fell all over her. It seemed that i wasn't there in person.I was only watching that.After that i can't remember much but i know that i went to a funeral and i think i went there with my mother but i somehow lost her there. The funeral was for a very young woman, 20 years or so, and i could see her relatives screaming and crying and i wanted to buy a candle to put at her grave.After the funeral i met some ex-colegues from school which i hadn't seen in 3 years.I was still searching for my mother and i realized that my mother was my woman in that room where the roof fell.I know it doesn't make sense. So i called her on her...

*FIRST: let me make 100% clear that I am in no way a pedophile. The idea does not interest me at all in any way. Im a man, I prefer a woman.

BUT, these guys that are pedophiles... what is wrong with that? I mean just about all of you would love to see their ***** chopped off and have them burnt alive because something in them apparantly makes them attracted to children. So if that is the way they are...whats wrong with that? Is it wrong that a gay guy is gay? Is it wrong that a kid likes chocolate milk? it it wrong that a person likes a certain type of music?

Please dont say "what if it were your kid" because that is not really the point of my question.

AGAIN... i am 100% attracted only to adult women and am in no way attracted to children at all.

There's this chick I know who is not really a feminist, but she holds to some feminist ideals. She looks a little bit like Sarah Silverman, problem is she has this moustache so in fact she looks more like Sarah Silverman morphed with the face of Tom Selleck. Thus defeating the purpose of my agreeing to be alone with her covering her mouth with my hand long enough for me to objectify her. Anyway I'm not agreeing to it unless the moustache goes.

How do I tell her she might be half attractive if she shaved that moustache without offending her volatile feminist sensibilities and having her scream about sexual harassment, rape etc.

Also if she hasn't shaved her moustache what are the chances her legs aren't shaved either? Should I preempt this concern and tell her they'd better be, or do I just run away from her apartment if I find out they are later?

I thought you'd be the girls to ask. Cheers. Advice from trolls also welcome as always :)

Do you think that women have more empathy generally for other women, or do you feel that a male boss might be persuadec more easily to make things better.

According to me:
As men are stronger physically, women are stronger mentally.
Men control their emotions as women leave out emotions (cry etc)
Men are more emotionally involved in relationships.......... where women want to control and head the relationship...
Many may not agree with me but go ahead and put across your thoughts instead of disagreeing with me.

My friend's brother is a drug dealer, doesn't go to school and lives in his mom's basement...he stopped selling for a bit and didn't have any money, and was always complaining about how broke he is..So, I got him a good job that pays $10 an hour and has very good hours, and he went to the interview, got hired, but never showed up for his first day...Are drug dealers just lazy or do they have some kind of social anxiety disorder so they are scared to go to work with real people or something?

I had a very weird dream. In the dream, I was hungry and decided to make a peanut butter sandwich. In the cabinet there was two jars of peanut butter. One was average sized and creamy. The other was very large and said "Special" on it. Apparently it was both creamy AND crunchy, which makes no sense...but in the dream it made sense and was appealing. So I chose the bigger special jar. I made myself a sandwich. As I was chewing, the sandwich turned black in my mouth and began to sprout like a vine out of my mouth and take over my face. I ran to my mom's room, but when I opened the door she was already taken over by the black stuff herself, her eyes glowed red and she yelled obscenities at me in a demonic voice. I then ran back to the kitchen and read the label on the peanut butter, which read "Manufactured by the church of satan.". Can anyone tell me wht it may mean? I'm not a satanist...in case you're wondering.

I thought of this question while cycling today. As older people die and leave their children their real estate and the rest of the inheritance, and as generation after generation passes, does a western country with low population growth gradually become richer due to this factor? Or is this factor insignificant?

I am a late 30s old spinster handmaid. Where I work I love to provide outstanding service to my customers. I've had women customers comment to me saying: "Oh, you'll get married soon, and you'll see that special someone." Or another one I worked for said out of the blue: "Don't worry, you'll find the right one." You won't be single for long."

I mean that is nice and all but they just say it out of the blue and for no reason. I can't stand it when people try to predict my future. Because I wouldn't predict someone elses. I would never say it to a unmarried girl. Obviously she is unmarried for a good reason. Your thoughts.......

For the past year I have had a handful of dreams of having deep cuts. One dream I have a very deep cut on my upper leg, one time I had a dream that my arm was almost completely cut off, and last night I had a dream that I had a deep cut across my entire wrist. The cuts never bleed or seem to hurt, but they are very deep. In these dreams I am always trying to get to the doctor but I continuously get sidetracked and can never seem to get to the doctor no matter how hard I try. Anyone know the general meaning of this kind of dream?
