I was wondering who was the first person that told the public that humans were animals too instead of some sort of superior being.

There are so many theory's such as:

*It was from a primate (monkey) and came to humans
*Some say it just came from mother nature.

Yet in my opinion it seems that Genetic Engineering of the disease it the most appealing and believable.

I'm not sure. what is your opinion on the matter. Do you believe that humans deliberately made this disease to kill?

And if not. Do future diseases live in animals and will soon come to us?

I have heard that;
Men do one thing at a time correctly.
whereas;
Women do many things wrong concurrently incorrectly.
What is the truth.

I ask this because many women feel that men oppress them, they blame patriarchy for all of the f***ed up things in society, but to me it seems that women like being in their places and so way some how they benefit from patriarchy. What do you think?

I read an essay on the Internet where somebody wrote "If I was bored it was my fault and no one else's . The obligation to amuse and instruct myself was entirely my own ." . I always figured if I think being single and unattached is boring, it's because I don't have a girlfriend, and I just don't like bars . I decided I need a relationship to sink my teeth into . I figured being without a girlfriend CAN'T be exciting . Am I wrong in thinking being without a girlfriend is boring ? If I'm wrong, how am I wrong ? Why do I think being single is boring ?

Weakest Link hostess Ann Robinson has been told she must pay alimony to her former husband. Alimony was invented in order to make men cough up so is it right than a woman should pay?

The other night I had a dream that I was with my family and these huge massive tides came up and we had to run so quickly to get to safety, but we were all fine.

Last night I had a dream that during high tide I couldn't reach my house and I got stuck out all night by myself.

What do these dreams mean?

I have always noticed that i am a little quirky. but lately little things i do are getting more severe. i have a corn snake, he's a fairly new pet. ever since i bought him i have noticed odd behavior that i cant help but do.
for example: i will be sitting down stairs watching TV and i will have an urge to go up stairs and make sure the lid to omar's(name of snake is omar) tank is closed. if i stay down stairs and try to ignore it my heart will race and and i get very nervous. if i go up stairs to check it i will peak into my room see thats its closed and then go back down stairs. BUT lately i will get half way back down the stairs and become unsure that the the lid was really closed. so i will go check it again. and sometimes i will exit my room one more time and go BACK and touch the lid.
at this point im thinking there is something wring with me.

No, the US can't go all around the world fixing all inequities, even when they border on slavery and imprisoment of all females in a country. However, does that mean we shouldn't try to fix this any where that we can?

This is not an issue of WMDs or madmen. This is a moral question whether you are faith driven or secular. Every women in a country as a 1000th rate citizen if a citizen at all. Say what you want about the rest of it but, if this can be stopped isn't it a worthy cause?

These two girls I know were drunk at a party and they tried feminism. All the guys seemed to like it. They both said it was fun but not really their thing. Should they all try it?

"If we took away women’s right to vote, we’d never have to worry about another Democrat president. It’s kind of a pipe dream, it’s a personal fantasy of mine, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women.

It also makes the point, it is kind of embarrassing, the Democratic Party ought to be hanging its head in shame, that it has so much difficulty getting men to vote for it. I mean, you do see it’s the party of women and “We’ll pay for health care and tuition and day care — and here, what else can we give you, soccer moms?"

Ok, they get so shy and everything by people becuase they they never get out much, but why do they get that way? Is it becuase their personality is different then other peoples or is it that they don't want other people to know they never get out? What makes them scarred to be who they want to be when it comes to talking to people?

I'm 22yrs old. My family is dsyfunctional. I've grown up without a dad, so has my sister.. without hers. (half sisters) I was raised by my grandparents, that are depressed and have been for many years. All my mother has ever cared about is the guys and drama in her life. I don't have anybody anymore. We don't keep in contact with the rest of the dysfunctional family either. My question is....are MY relationships and my future doomed because of my upbringing? I've never been apart of, or really witnessed real relationships between a man and a woman, so doesn't that mean that I'm more likely to repeat my familys past? I already get involved with emotionally unavailable mean constantly, it's a pattern. My relationships are unhealthy, i already know that, but I don't know of any other way. It's like being dysfunctional, fighting, neglect, using, and abusing are normal for me? Help! What do I do to make sure that I don't make the same mistakes my family has? Is there hope?! Thanks

I was in the school inside the building and there was a big window where you could see the other buildings . I was looking at the window and suddenly I saw that an airplane ( or a helicopter ) was going to collage with a big building just the same way it happened on 9/11 . Then my sister and I and also a lot of people wanted to get out of the building but we needed to swim a pool to go through the stairs and get out of the building , but at first I didn't wanted because of my hair but finally I did swimmed.

We all know that sarcasm is the lowest form of humour, and that it generally lacks intelligence or imagination (except in the case of Troll Shark, who has elevated it to a wonderful art form). But time and again, I see it used in the responses here. Sure, the trolls use it, but I'm really not directing this at them...I'm directing it at the intelligent women who frequent this forum. Why do you use sarcasm in your responses? If you know that it will not differentiate you from those you seem to loathe or those for whom you have no respect, why do you stoop to their level?
