I get extremely intimidated by intelligent people. A lot of the time I avoid answering questions here because of that. In person I often become quiet or refuse to comment and act undecided.

I realized that part of this is because of my age. I’m much younger than a lot of the people I associate myself with. My age embarrasses me sometimes, I know it’s silly but I’ve been teased and stuff.

What makes it even worse is how my father tries to pin it on illnesses (he’s currently trying to diagnose me with Williams Syndrome). He says I have nothing to be ashamed of, and that I’m “good enough” to socialize with these people without being worried, so obviously there’s some mental problem prohibiting me from realizing this. I don’t agree with him. I can be stupid without having a mental condition.

Am I being silly and unconfident like my father says or is it natural? Do any of you have problems with this? If so, any advice on how to get over it? Thank you!

Бабий яр. Большой овраг в северной части Киева, где в конце сентября 1941 происходили массовые казни десятков тысяч евреев. 19 сентября 1941 германские войска, разгромив в 45-дневных боях оборонявшие Киев советские части, вступили в город. Спустя несколько дней страшный взрыв превратил в руины гостиницу "Континенталь", в которой расположился штаб немецкого гарнизона, и близлежащие кварталы. Вспыхнувший следом гигантский пожар унес жизни многих немецких солдат. Германское военное командование решило, что за их гибель несет ответственность еврейское население Киева. В наказание за это евреи небольшими группами были отправлены в Бабий яр, располагавшийся тогда за чертой города. За два дня массовых казней там было убито около 35000 человек (по другим данным - от 50 до 70 тыс. человек). Их тела были погребены во рву 60 метров длиной и около 3 метров глубиной.
На Нюрнбергском процессе генерал-полковник Альфред Йодль опроверг предположение, что мины в городе устанавливало еврейское население Киева. Он продемонстрировал трофейную карту, на которой было обозначено расположение 50 минных полей, подготовленных советскими войсками перед их отступлением. Позднее специалисты заявили, что "эти данные раскрывают причастность русских к трагедии" в Бабьем яре, но главные свидетели остались погребенными под землей. В октябре 1966 в Бабьем яре на месте массовых расстрелов был установлен гранитный обелиск.

Would we forget 'internal' conflicts like that taking place in Israel/Lebanon and build a Worlwide Defence Force integrating all national armys, militias, from all cultures and religions and unite as Humans? How close would it get to "War of The Worlds"?

Have you ever noticed, that when you stay up all night, and have gotten NO sleep, you actually feel sick to your stomach and delusional and weird. But if you went to bed at a normal time, and slept all night long, and got up and went about your day, and later that evening, you just feel tired. Not sickening tired, just tired. Why is that? I can tell the difference in my body and how I feel when I stay up all night, and being tired, than just being tired. I don't know if that makes sense, but whatever. :)

I heard somewhere they used to have hemp plantations just like the cotton and tobacco plantations. I heard too that some of the Founding Fathers (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, etc) grew hemp. They didn't smoke it to my knowlege, but from what I heard grew it to get the hemp fibers to make clothes, rope, sails, tents and other stuff for practical use.
