I prefer to be alone, I dislike most of my friends and prefer to escape them when possible, I hate love and the human race, I am very sensitive and VERY defensive so much so it enoys people very badly, I see emotion as a burden, I enjoy gore (as in people being cut open and mutilated) and I seem to have SEVERE anxiety which rules my life, there are other things but these are the main.

What do you think could be wrong?

Sorry for bad grammer and spelling

Someone involved in education or psychology who knows about intelligence testing. Last I heard IQ tests were out. We had them in school in the 1960s. "Tickle.com" has a funsy online forty question IQ test as a promotional gimmick. Even getting all 40 questions correct yields only an IQ of 144. Yet I hear people claiming IQ levels in the 160 to 180 levels.
Yes, I realize that I could use search engines to research this, but I'm interested in personal opinions out there in YA land.

What would the plausible, explicable reason(s) be for practically all original inhabitants of the Americas to ignore, if not shun, the usage of the wheel?
Though most did have a notion of the 3-dimensional circle, even with a central perforation, as in Andean weaponry, f. ex., they seem to have missed a logical step. For such superb engineers as many of these pre-columbian Andean peoples, f. ex., to convert holed circular stones on a stick into axles and wheels, I’d imagine “child’s play”, in the true sense of the word! Was it a religious thing, such as Muslims, who do not portrait humans? Why was it then adopted by all “Amerindians”?
Any in-depth clues?

Men are not always running things. Its the womens' choice to do it. How is it degrading them? It's not like sex is something most women don't have during their whole life.Just like on shows people kiss. Why isn't kissing degrading to women. People have sex too. That's why some late night shows show intimacy to that extent.

I constantly see mountains in my dreams.They are very tall, majestic and remind of a winter day(blue tops and generally tones of light and dark blue, though there is no snow).They are really beautiful and I ALWAYS want to climb on them but in each dream except one, either someone is stopping me or I wake up.Once I climbed on it and some kind of air/spirit(it whispered to me "fall") pushed me down.I was in the top and I fell.By the way that's the second spookiest dream I had.
The fact is I see all the time these gorgeous mountains and I always feel threatened though attracted by them.
I love mountains if that helps and I live next to Pelion Mountains(Greece).I just say that because I've heard that some dreams have to do with personal things and preferences.

If one religion is the truth, every other religion is a lie. If no religion is true, every religion is still a lie. This means that by pure deduction ~99.9% of the world's religions are already certain to be lies. Now this doesn't preclude the possibility that there's one special religion out there that's the real thing, but given the track record of religion, and the fact that there's no real proof of any, why should I believe in any particular religion other than by blind faith and hope that I'm right?

Why is it that people are being so damn hard on her? All that im hearing on yahoo answers is that she is as slutty as britney and that really pisses me off. She got pregnant oh my god she isn't the first sixteen year old to get pregnant why is it that people have to be so horrible about it. She is doing the responsible thing by coming out and taking responsibility for what she did. No she shouldn't be a rolemodel for young girls but does that give people the right to judge her. What are your thoughs on the whole Jamie lynn thing. I wonder why girls have abortions could this be it they don't want to be looked at like Jamie lynn spears is?

On the first night I met this guy I had a dream that he kissed my bestfriend. The second night I dreamed that he came to my house and I was majorly flirting with him.

Your thinking, "Well, obviously you like this guy!" I....sort of do, but not really, he's better off being my friend. I've known him now for like, three months, and I still keep having dreams about him, and he's the only person I dream about.

Usually these dreams have to do with him liking me or not liking me. And sometimes there just completely random.

It felt as though you were really visiting with them. I lost my Mom to cancer in May of this year and I have had a few 'dreams' of her that seemed so real.

The first dream she didn't say anything, but I could understand telepathically. The second dream, she spoke to me, but in a very soft voice, as if it were hard for her to talk. Both were pleasant dreams. The last one to tell me that she loved me and to let me know that everything was going to be okay with me (in my life).
