Is there any connection between what color a person likes and their personality, or even mental state? A person who is cheerful might choose bright colored clothes, but what about traits that a person do not even know exist in them? Can whatever color they wear tell anything about this? For example, a person who is ashamed of their body would unconsciously choose dark colors? Like they're trying to hide from the rest of the world, or protecting themselves from getting hurt emotionally?

Just from the way it looks it seems like the human brain could have evolved from a lima bean. Or a mushroom, brain coral, maybe memory foam, or even compressed macaroni. Are there any other plausible origins you can think of? It doesn't make sense to me that it could have evolved from fish.

I just wondered, what is the difference? I thought feminism was about in the past fighting for equal rights, so that both genders have the same respect and rights. So why isn't everyone just an equalist?

Anyways from what I can remember the whole thing took place at the complex I live at. I was going to the store with mom and dad was taking her car for some reason when it had really bad smoke from muffler and ended up catching on fire when we stopped him from leaving. We all didnt seem the mind because of the insurance money that would follow though lol. The cops ended up showing up and somehow the fire was put out very quickly too quickly almost as if no effort went into it.

There was more to the dream but im getting blurry on some points the next point that really stands is when me and 2 of my friends were sitting outside having lunch a person approched one of my friends and they got into a argument which followed in a fight. My friend was losing the fight so me and my other friend decided to get hockey sticks from the car and all 3 of us really beat this guy down badly. I ended up slitting his throat at the end when he made a threat to kill my whole family for the beat down.

The main impression that I get here is that there are quite a few men who wish to be in charge and want women to go back to how they used to be, ie-obedient, feminine women who stay at home looking after her husband,children and taking care of the household. Also many men have mentioned that women are too physically weak to fight.

But then I hear a fair amount of grumbling about how men don't like to be seen as disposable when it comes to going off to fight in wars.
So my question is, if men wish not to be disposable then why are they so against women fighting along side of them?
Wars happen, that can't be changed, so why do men place themselves in this position and don't want women fighting alongside and then grumble?
It's appears to be contradictory, so what do men really want?

If you have no disabilities, no real problems, college educated, have talents, do not have kids, are not married, genuinely nice person who treats others as you wish to be treated, work full time, continually expand your education, don't do drugs, not an alcoholic, do not engage in criminal activity, have goals dreams and direction in life; in your opinion do you have control of achieving the things you want to achieve, and be the person you want to be? Is it a matter of luck? Is it a matter of being in the right place at the right time? Is it a matter of having the right connections who can help you be what you want to be? Or is it just a matter of constantly believing in yourself and applying yourself consistenly "trial and error" no matter what obstacles come your way? I certainly understand that we can only control what we do, and not what other people do regardless of the situation. However, do we have choices of where we will ultimately end up and be? I want to do the best I can.

no idea where to put this but here goes. a bit about me, im 19 years old, turning 20 in mid-jan. i live with my parents in a shithole of the bible belt. basically i was forced into christianity as a child, but i got past that. given, i spent my childhood scared that id go to hell. i went to various private schools in the area, but i got bullied in each one to the point i had to homeschool in 6th grade for my safety. from 6th-12th i was a virtual hermit, hating people in general, living with overprotective parents (they discouraged socializing), and living with depression and suicidal thoughts (i attempted it at least once) thru that time. to some extent i still have it, though the suicidal thoughts have gone down recently. i turned to the internet for my only human interaction, and even on the net most hate me, but its only words on a screen so who cares. im in a community college now (only caused iw as forced to). ive gotten good grades my entire school life and i know im fairly intel

I have no problems making eye contact with people. But I have a feeling that other people do have a problem with it. Just out of curiosity, can making eye contact offend a person? I mean to me it indicates engagement in a conversation and the expression of interest, but I would like your opinions

and if there are bad things about it, shouldn't we just realize the bad things and introspect in our minds how we can improve it. I believe now that I have suffered from it but I wonder if it truly is a disorder or if it's just how my personality is wired. Even so, shouldn't I just accept it and read about how I can overcome some of the issues I have with it?

But that, ADD people often fluctate in moods throughout the day similar to Bipolar. By accepting this and realizing what is going on, shouldn't i just say to myself that I am goinhg to get better and that soon i'll think about something else and be ok.

I had the weirdest dream. I dreamed that my ex proposed to me and put avery nice ring on my finger. I saw the ring in my dream. When I looked on my finger there was actually 2 rings on my finger, one had a blue diamond in it and the other was an engagement ring. Does it mean that we might get married?? No pun intended
