Social Science - 11 November 2007

In some ways I think that many people here on Yahoo Answers want to be the "Class Clown" and throw out flippant answers, because they think they're cute...when they really aren't. I'm sure this question is just going to fan their fire and I'm going to get a lot of stupid remarks in which case I will 'thumbs down' them all. Come on! If you are going to try to be flippant, make it really funny or witty! Or don't try at all.

And then there are those that answer with things so obvious, you'd have to be a moron to have not thought of it previously, but these people genuinely think they are helping and like to wear the "Advisor's Hat" as if every word that fell from their lips would be proclaimed -"Brilliant! Just Brilliant! Why didn't I think of that?!"

DUH!

I appreciate it when people actually take the time to answer with something thoughtful or original, or that took some research or inside knowledge on their part. Why must these pages be filled with so many dolts. though?

Even if it's something I like to do, I just can't make myself get on it. I don't like to shower--don't want to get wet. I've got tons of TG flower arrangments to make for friends & family, and I love to do that, but I can't get started. I'm sleepy. I think I'll take a nap and get started later. Maybe. Maybe I just need more light.

hug or be "sentimental" with their family, specifically the family they grew up with (mostly their parents) yet they are fine being this way with their own family (spouse and children) and maybe they are a Bit (only a little bit) excessive with their family when it comes to hugs and being affectionate, in the case that they feel needy for it.

I dreamed that I was with my army unit in the field at one of the ranges and I saw a dark snake come out of a metal fence. I can't remember if I got rid of it or another buddy of mine did but as soon as we got rid of the first snake this big dark anaconda snake comes afters me and bites me on my left forearm. I can remember that it hurt and that I was bleeding. When I woke up I immediately checked my arm to see if I was bit. What does all this mean???

usually i don't pay attention to dreams but this one seemed soo real...anyway, I dreamt i was walking around town and i ran into a nun with a noose around her neck; she was crying and begged me to help her kill herself, the problem was she needed a longer rope. in the dream i didn't even try to talk her out of it, instead i took it as something completely normal and obsessively went around shops with her trying to find an appropriate rope. i searched for what seemed like hours and when in the end i found one she suddenly disappeared. a few minutes later i saw her hanging from a nearby building.

i'm not morbid, suicidal or anything so i found all of this quite strange, would like to hear a few opinions, thanks

Last night, I had a nightmare. I was standing across the street from my college campus, and it was nighttime. I'm standing near a pizza parlor, and looking at a graveyard on the campus. Suddenly, a zombie comes out of the ground and starts dancing towards me. He's dressed like a rapper, and he has a cane.

I start screaming and the guy who works in the pizza parlor comes out with this girl I know. The three of us jump in the pizza guy's car and start driving away. I get in the backseat (I don't know if that's important). We drive for about five seconds, and the rapper zombie jumps on the trunk of the car and smashes through the window. I pick up a broken piece of glass and am just about to stab him.....and then I woke up.

It felt so real. At 21, you'd think I'd be too old be having nightmares. When I woke up, I was too scared to move for awhile. What does this dream mean?

I hate when people trying to cheer me up with hopefull sentences. It feels little dramatic. And most of them sounds obviously lying. You know I'm saying?

Is it just me? Why I'm like this?

A mistake is when you make a wrong move on the road in your car without thinking or with something else on your mind that results in an accident. However, cheating on your spouse, as many would have us to believe, is not a mistake, but rather a transgression. As a matter of fact, anytime you do something you know is wrong even before you do it should never be called a mistake simply because it isn't. A mistake, in my opinion, is an error in judgment, not an intentional wrongdoing of any sort...
