It's so ridiculous that people say the terms "nerd" and "geek" about guys who are not athletic and coky. What's wrong with being introverted and cretive? I think this is because of what I like to call the peasant syndrome in American society: it is looked at as cool to act low-class and ignorant. A lot of the sports that are so popular are sports designed for the lower-classes.

I'm doing research for a term paper. Many of you might have seen Hollywoodland, in it a character named Evan,who is a young boy, loses faith in his hero Superman, and even burns his superman costume in defiance, when you were young, what event caused you to question your heros, or adults in general, what made you realize that adults make mistakes too, and that your heroes weren't perfect.When I say heroes I mean anyone that you looked up to, parents,siblings,teachers,police men,actors,tv characters anyone.What happened that made you lose faith in them when you were little, because more than likely the hero you had then isn't the hero you have now and if it is your parents or some family member there was something that made you realize they were human, it could be a small as seeing them cry for the first time, or them letting you down as hard as superman let Evan Simo down in Hollywood land. Just want to hear your thoughts, thank you for your help.

Yes, I am a girl, but I do not find it offensive when guys refer to girls as "chicks". I mean, we call them "dudes" right? And also, do you think it is socially acceptable for straight women to refer to each other as chicks? This is a random question... Out of curiosity. And boredom.

I'm asking mostly Americans, but others, please reply if you want. Which (English-speaking) accent do you find the most difficult to understand and WHY???: (Southern (Sub-categories: Eastern South, central South [New Orleans], Southwestern, California, Midwestern, Upper Midwestern, Middle-Atlantic (sub-category: New York/New Jersey), New England (sub-categories: Northern [Maine/VT/NH], Mass., Conn.)? Feel free to add your OWN "category".

Personally, I have a hard time with Southern Mississippi/Alabama & Florida accents, and I'm pretty good with accents, not only from this country but in the known English-speaking world! (Including New Zealand, the Caribbean and India).

NOTE: This question is for fun ONLY, not for trashing other groups!!!

In the school, those American teachers are no patient to whom doesn't speak english well. If they don't want to teach, that's fine. But, why do they always make fun on other foreign students. No wonder so many terrorists want to attact American. They must have the same bad experiences from American.

There's one of my old teachers that stands beside my current teacher in the halls between classes that i talk to. Used to my current teacher would just do a half smile and look elsewhere. Now she smiles really big, laughs when i say the simplest thing, and can't take her eyes off of me! I'm not imagining anything, I've seen it happen. She's also kinda gettin into my business and see what I do. I assist for her and all, and she knows I'm not doing anything bad, but she always like to check up on it before she gives me something to grade. Why does she act like this? P.S. I'M A GIRL.

How Can we love God so much but we work hard all our lives at any cost to gain the things of the world? People will do whatever it takes to make money and I just wanted to know why our world is so set on greed. Men rather kill their body with work and stress, to please themselves on earth but we never think about eternal happiness.

I'm very interested in the Japanese culture! I was wondering how a could act like a young Japanese girl? I know some things: wear slippers around the house, say "kawaii" alot, wear hair in pigtails, have a high voice, and make the "V" handsign alot.

Is there anything else that would make me seem more like a young Japanese girl?
