| The problem with public school was not the lack of "services" (they never helped anyways when I was much younger). The real injustice was how they treat individuals who were different. In American schools, or at least the ones I attended, anyone who struggles academically, emotionally, or socially, ... |

| He is quite correct when saying that as long as citizens of European Union countries let this hegemon take over, there is little point in debating political opinions. This is why my source of information about European politics comes from euroskeptics, even if I suspect there are divides between me ... |

| That is because the government has been bought and bribed. In a bribe situation both the briber and the bribee are equally at fault. This. I wish there was yet an accountable way to end direction of governments by the influential. For sure it is worse than increasing taxes (on the top 1% not on ent... |

| Your question is difficult to respond to. Do you need to get a master's degree in order to continue working at your job? Do you wish to find a job that is better suited for your education level or do you wish to stay in the one you are in? It seems like everyone is having a difficult time affording ... |

Sometimes I avert eye contact with someone if their voice is too annoying because I do not want to look annoyed. I really hope mine does ... |

| This question is difficult to answer because you are not specific about which elites you refer to. If you are referring to those in charge of the UN and the EU (who are more about control then any concern for human rights) or Barack Hussein Obama, then I will have to choose the first answer. Right w... |

| Why should I give up all religion when religion gives me hope for an Afterlife ? Because basing faith entirely on wishes for eternal life is disingenuous, which is why I am irreligious (every teaching of a religion would have to "click" in order for me to convert to it). Whether there is or not any... |

| Simply because it manifests as worship of death, malice, destruction, and misery. "Might equals right" seems to summarize its teachings. At least most other religions and cultures have redeeming features. I have never beleived that 100% of muslims are evil, yet I altogether disdain the islamic faith... |

| Anyone's emotional flexibility varies according to what one is either obstinate or flexible about. From my own experience at least, I have eventually come to the conclusion that spectrumites can be either more passive/indecisive or more adamant about certain things than other people. This may also a... |

| numbers to me are as distinct as words. each number is the same of something, that only that number is the name of. a prime has unique integrity, an atom rather than a compound, a crystal rather than a clump. or: it's a pure tone, when other numbers are somehow filtered. i don't look for them; they... |

| I don't think that many people think about the prime numbers or that they know what they are, but it's worth noting that certain prime numbers are important part of many cultures' folklore and heritage (3, 7, 13...) A coincidence? I noticed this too. Using prime numbers, the building blocks of meas... |

Particularly frustrating are the poisonous ideas reflected in the field of normative psychology, which is a symptom of a civilizations plag... |
