The veracity of this claim is true just by looking around this site. Earlier today I was looking at articles about the immorality and supposed damaging effect porn has on kids, and I saw one satirical answer which was immediately refuted. Do you guys not understand humor? Did you not learn how to laugh as kids? Weigh in on this ****, but try not to freak out.

I went to a funeral of my friend. Next to me was this little kid that kept looking at me and then said something about my nose or some part of my face and at that moment i wanted to strangle this kid. Annoyance and Overwhelming rage overtook me. I wasnt event thinking about my dead friend just that little kid. I also had trouble sitting still in my seat and wanted to get up and walk out. Is it a normal reaction to feel that way?

One of Darwin's main tenents was the notion that only the "fit" survive. Over time and through evolution, according to the commonly-accepted theory, the strongest survive and the weakest don't make it.

If you believe in that theory, then don't you have to also believe that it's okay for species to become extinct -- because they must not have been "fit enough" to survive extinction?

Conversely, if you believe we should protect animals from extinction, and you are intillectually honest, shouldn't you reframe your thinking on evolution and conclude that there is, in fact, no such thing as survival of the fittest?

I had a dream the other night. It was this big, muscular robot who shot a missile at me. I didn't want to die, and I kept running away from it, but in the back of my mind, I was really curious to see what the missile was like. It was all shiny and pretty and I didn't think it would be so bad. So I turned around, and right at that moment, I experienced tremors and couldn't move. It seemed the missile hit me, and my dream ended with me presumably dying.

I really don't want to die... what does this mean? Please help! I'm terrified to go to sleep now!

I try to avoid people as much and as often as possible and when im outside i feel like im walking around in a daze, not really in reality. I often stare at people and just think what is the point of life? Even when im out living my life i feel like im not really living it. Im just existing. Whats wrong with me?

I would much rather spend my time alone and dread even having to see my own family. I feel like its a chore instead of something to be happy about. I won't even talk to my friends anymore. I really hate chit chatting and being around people. Am i selfish? Why is it that my own family dosent interest me let alone strangers?

I am in a white living room with my daughter and grandson. We are very happy and playing games with the baby. A white scorpion with lavender head crawls toward us across the floor. I tell my daughter and grandson to move back and I try to kill it. It takes me 3 tries to finally kill it. After it is dead, I realize it has 2 black stingers. Then my grandson reached out to touch it and I screamed no and pulled him away. I told him that even though it was dead it could still hurt him. Then I woke up. What do you think it means?

Many people seem to know that these happened, but no one can remember who was responsible for them. Additionally, the details often vary, so maybe there were multiple instances of similar experiments?

Rebecca listened carefully as the winds howled and rustled. The gentle patter of rain followed. She opened her window. The sounds of autumn rain and wind grew louder. The rain fell like needles falling from the skies and hitting the hard cold wet cement and melting into the tiniest of puddles. As each drop of rain hit the windows they trickled down to inevitable destination. Her mind was at at peace. Just the sound of rain was relaxing, she couldn't think of anything else.

Like each of the rain drops every person is inevitably destined to meet destination – death. In between life would have certain surprises. Some are meant for happiness some are meant for sadness. Rebecca's life was tinged with sadness at the very beginning. As her mother has abandoned her as a baby. Ever since then she had longed for maternal love. Despite her yearning she had never expressed her feelings to her father, due to his unresolved issues with Rebecca's mother.

The dream basically was a building getting blown up with me in it. But the weird part is that i was still walkin around like a ghost. No one could see me but my little brother. My mom was in the room and i was trying to tell my little brother to tell my mom that i will always love her. But when i started to get him to repeat me i faded away and was no longer a ghost. I also was looking for my boyfriend in my dream but never found him. So what do you guys think the dream means? Thanks
