| The fact that we let 3 people infected with Ebola into the country makes me feel embarrassed for the people who's job it was to keep the virus out. Other countries are temporarily halting entrance to people flying in from Africa. How the mighty have fallen. I only hope that his does not spread and b... |

| A joke... a joke that beheads people and video tapes the act for the world to see? Not a very good joke, imo. If the US is truly behind their formation, then would that make the US joke as well? Or a very dangerous player in this world war game? Either of those possibilities makes me nervous. Knowin... |

| A woman (compared to a man) has more reproductive value. That being said, a man has to work harder to get the attention of a woman than vice versa. If a woman were to ignore a man's advances, he'd be wise to move on to a woman that he believes wants his company. A woman who is just playing the field... |

| I told my mother that I suspected I had Aspergers when I was 16 after dealing with anxiety, depression, and isolation for as long as I could remember. She is unable to see her children as anything but what she wants them to be, so she refuses to this day to justify my self-diagnosis. My father doesn... |

| I've always had changing interests/obsessions over the years, but right now I have nothing. Nothing seems to spark my interest, and everything seems like a waste of time. Nothing is bringing me joy, and I just feel uneasy. I don't feel full of sadness, but rather void of all emotion. Is that what de... |

| So basically, it dispels minor aspects of the stereotype while supporting the main body of it by demonstrating the stereotypical vegan arrogance, snobbiness and percieved superiority with every word. Vegans "don't torture animals to have fun". Yes, those evil people who aren't vegans torture animal... |

| Simply: Yea My mom's a narcissist and I won't be able to know myself until I move out. Her presence is so overpowering that I can't think clearly when she's home (which is 24/7). When someone's hurting or excited (why I love concerts) I feel their emotions too. Though... I can't verbalize this well ... |

| I get this feeling like I have to run away. If the over stimulation continues for a long time I tend to shut down and stop thinking in reality. I can see what's happening but I'm really detached. Sometimes I'll feel detached for days before I get a chance to cool down. |
