| I agree; hugs are really nice. I particularly enjoy hugging girls I know; not girlfriends (never had the benefit of one), but female friends. Over the years, I learned the NT "hug etiquette", so I know how to give the right amount of pressure when I hug someone. I also figured out how to vary the pr... |

| You need to go to the police. You can either call 911, or better yet, do this. Tell your parents you're going to [a place they wouldn't worry about]. In the meantime, drive over to your city's police station, and file a child abuse report. If you're over 18, the charge would be domestic violence, no... |

| I've been hearing about an urban legend. Let me know what you think. There a place called Cuba Rd. in Barrington, IL (a suburb northwest of Chicago). It runs through a very underdeveloped area. It has nothing but farmhouses, farms, and a forest preserve. The houses are extremely large, with driveway... |

| The response was in support of Amtrak. Someone mentioned that trains are cool. In resonse, I said: "Well, you better not vote for Bush. He wants to cut off Amtrak's funding." I don't remember the rest of the conversation, but my comment fit in pretty well. At the very least, Kerry fans backed me up. |

| You think animals are incapable of cruelty? Think again. I witnessed the following scenario at a bus terminal, when transferring between buses. It was a few years ago, but it was disturbing nonetheless. A flock of pigeons was crowding around an area, where someone dumped a pile of bread crumbs. Ther... |

| I'd hunt, although I'd try to shoot an animal in a way that kills it instantly. Killing an animal for food is one thing, but there's no need to make it suffer. Fishing is different. Since fish have less complex nervous systems than birds and mammals, their suffering is less strong when they're pulle... |

| I'm quite the opposite. I'm pretty sure that I'll end up dating the first girl who likes me, as long as she's at least somewhat attractive, has basic social skills, enjoys some things I enjoy, and can make me feel at ease in her presence. The last one is pretty much outside my control. I've had expe... |

Alcohol is definitely helpful in social situations. Usually, I'm uncomfortable talking to girls, but when I have enough to drink, I'm as comfortable as an NT.
But yeah, you don't want to make a habit out of it. |
