I mean, I know a guy who got offended because I tried to explain something to him, but I didn't know that he knew already. "Give me more credit than that!" he said. I would not like him any less if he didn't know. What I wouldn't like is if he acted snobbish about it.
Then again, I also get annoyed if people assume that I don't know things... someone asked me once, "how do you spell 'duct tape'?" to see if I would spell it wrong... like Duh!! I realized that I am also guilty of this.

But why? Is it just pride?
Just because someone is smart doesn't make them any better.
Being wise has more advantage any good leader can tell you that. Think about you friends. Do you like them because they make A's in physics or because they give you good solid advice? And people who are really wise know that they don't have to always flaunt what they know.

No matter what I cry when I get yelled... no matter who's doing it, why, how nice they're trying to be or what it's about (even if it's totally stupid). Does anyone else do this? And how can I stop? I'm playing soccer in the fall w/ a coach that has a bad habbit of yelling.

If a person is drunk and exhibits a common behaviour that is found in many people under the influence of alcohol, then is "dry" for a period of time and experiences normal human mood fluxuations, why does Alcoholics Anonymous say he is on a "dry drunk"? Seems to me like it is a no win situation within the AA doctrine. What is going on here and is it healthy to make such comments to people trying to abstain from alcohol and other drugs?

This needn't be a material..also the answer has to be more specific than "My life"..as there are things in our lives that we dont like...

I am not ugly, quite handsom, but I was wondering. Girls, you have to admit it, you did not have sex at first because of pleasure, but due to social pressure, and in order to be accepted and not called a *****. So you are just basically flip-flops---naturally as pussy cats, you want everyone to be happy with you, and so you have to be a little bit uncomfortable to get that....so you choose the winners in order not to suffer such a loss of face and humiliation...

so what would need to happen for a pretty hot girl, to have sex with a really ugly fat discusting guy...like money,etc,etc.

Cuz I know people in foreign countries that say the king is money. Like there are fat discusting guys, but get it without having to be a "player"--they have it for granted-- , In the US its different, there are a social "winners and loosers" with the sexually frustrated on the sidelines. you have to play and put effort to win. since equality is hold dear in US, women are bitchy, what would it take?

Just watching too much Pirate stuff ... but it seem that the pilliaging bonded the Pirates closer with their code of honor.

Ooo .. then there's the movie, "I know what you did last summer" and they all bonded.

I have read that your subconscious mind or inner wisdom gives you answers to questions, or gives you guidance on important matters in your life. How do I get these answers? Do I ask it questions as I drop off to sleep? Do I give my subconscious 'instructions' on what I want it to do?

5 10-year-old children are in a hospital with a dangerous disease that is certain to kill them unless they get treatment which is very, very expensive. All are from poor families. A company will pay for one child and sends you to pick which one will live:

CHILD 1 is an Arab and would grow up to become a great technical engineer, advancing the world's technology to a level it would not reach for at least 200 years.

CHILD 2 is a Latino and would grow up to become a great musician whose music would inspire people from around the world.

CHILD 3 is white and would grow up to become a great scientist who would solve problems such as global warming, excessive pollution, and other nature dilemmas.

CHILD 4 is oriental and would grow up to become a great psychologist and solve many problems of the mind, like depression, multiple pers., etc.

CHILD 5 is black and would grow up to become a great political leader, who would care for the people and make good decision for the country.

I have trouble explaining things. In other words, I have trouble putting my thoughts into words. Often when I talk, I have trouble picking the best words to explain something. Often I choose poor wording and people don’t exactly understand what I was trying to say to them. Also it takes a lot of mental energy for me. Often I have to mentally prepare what I have to tell a person before hand so I can explain things to them effectively. When I write, I don’t have as much of a problem because I have more time to paraphrase what I am trying to say, but when I talk, it’s a struggle. Can you tell me some tips and tricks in what I can do to improve at this? Do you know any exercises I can do to improve my speech? Thank you very much!
