If a person were born with supernatural powers they could do many things. Whether it happened to be a good or evil gift, what would you personally want? Why would you want it and what difference could you make with this power?

(yeah, I only have one american friend) so I'm generalizing over him..

The issue is that his ORTHOGRAPHIC MISSPELLINGS are painful, it makes me want to take my eyeballs out,..
I know other countries have higher levels of ignorance of lack of education,
so my question is:
Is my friend a good representation of all americans?
Is he dyslexic?
Or he is just an isolated case of tragedy?


note: Can I ask you about some specific misspellings on the messenger if you feel altruistic and have some free time???

...shouldn't working women develop better relationship skills, just in case? There is a danger to not being able to support yourself, but isn't there also a danger in taking your relationship for granted? Since dual-income couples are more likely to divorce, shouldn't a working wife spend some time learning the skills to save her relationship?

One benefit of being a housewife is having the luxury of having plenty of time to work on family relationships. Indeed, women were once advised to "cultivate" their marriages. Shouldn't busy working women be advised to learn some anti-divorce skills, just as housewives should learn some anti-poverty skills?

For some reason I'm sure I was aboard the Titanic when it sank. I'm only 14 and have never studied the Titanic or watched the film or anything, yet I keep having visions of me on the Titanic whilst it was sinking. Does anyone have any interessting past life memories?

I leave everything for the last minute. When I was in college, I always studied the night before or even the morning of. I still function the same way. How do you motivate yourself to finish before the last minute? I realize a lot of unnecessary stress can be eliminated if I just get things done ahead of time...but I'm just not motivated and think I can just pull it off the last minute.

My friend has a few mental problems going on. I stopped being her friend a while ago because of how she acted, but when I found out she tried to commit suicide because of me abandoning her, I felt extremely guilty and became her friend again. What a mistake I made. She plays mind games with me and tells me that people want to kill me and she tries to bring my confidence down. She always yells at me when I smile and gets extremely jealous when I talk to people. I have lost a lot of friends because of this one person. I really miss my old friends, the ones that made me feel good, but it's just too hard of a situation to get out of. I don't know if they ever want to talk to me after what happend. Everyone knows this girl is weird and now I'm afraid I'm stuck with her. I feel so stupid. I had soo much and I wasted it trying to help out a "so called friend". Can someone help?

Just wondering if anyone else finds this a bit annoying as well. For example, how would someone who isn't married "know" what makes a happy marriage? How would he or she "know" what makes a husband more or less likely to cheat?

It's quite fair for them to discuss it, of course, but it seems kind of silly for them to disparage what happily married people are saying works for them, isn't it? Or is it really possible to know what makes a good marriage without actually doing it yourself? Did your ideas about relationships change once you had a LTR or got married?

I know of women, who are very smart but are either married or engaged to guys who are way down on the intelligence scale.

In one case, the man sustained permanent brain damage. He lost the ability to learn new things and process new information. He can only watch re-runs and old movies that he's already seen. If it's new he can't track the story. He has a tendency to get easily frustrated and overreact to stress. This is related to his brain injury. It makes him difficult to deal with. The woman is a computer scientist and can handle some really complex tech problems. She chose to marry a brain-damaged guy.

I know another woman who is engaged to a guy that she admits isn't so smart. She figures that when she finishes her master's degree, she'll be able to pull in some cash and it won't matter that he'll never move up the financial ladder.

What qualities could these guys have that very smart women find attractive? Do these women have a need to take care of someone?

Women don't want to do it but it's okay if her husband does. Strange. A woman at my work doesn't want her husband to go back to work. She wants him at home, watching the kids and cooking and cleaning. My, how times have changed!!!
