Answer to:
In Japanese the same word "kumo" is used for cloud and spider. Any ideas on why this is? Probably for the same reason English uses the same adjective to describe just-picked vegetables and smart-mouth kids: fresh. Or for a closer example, not-cooked bread and a female deer: dough/doe. Written different, sounds the same.

What do white men like in bed? im a black woman(20yrs) dating an older white man(27yrs.), and i never been with a white guy sexually before, but he has dated many black women. Well, since due to the wording of your question we can safely assume he's straight, I would say that in bed, he probably likes a naked woman to whom he is attracted who wants to sleep with him. I guess that would be you! Guys are guys. People who like random freaky stuff like it on an individual basis, not a racial one, so if there's anything like that he'll just have to tell you. ^_^

Do you still follow the same belief system (religious, spiritual, atheist, lack thereof, whatever...) that you were raised with? I was raised Roman Catholic, and sometimes I think if I'd been raised with almost ANY other branch of Christianity (let's NOT go into the whole "Catholicism isn't Christianity" thing- if they worship Jesus as the Savior and son of God, they're Christian) I might still be Christian now.

If this chick wants to advise people, she'd be better served as a consultant to the Phelps clan, or somesuch.

What is your response to someone who is unkind for no reason? Strike back or ignore/ avoid such a person in the future? Depends on the situation.

Now it's just kind of a wistful, "if these guys weren't my parents there's a chance my childhood wouldn't have sucked." They still act like dicks and I'm still hurt by them on a...

Answer to:
Have you ever gone skinny dipping with a member of the opposite sex, who you were not romantically attached to? No, but one evening me and three friends decided to play strip Uno (trust me, virtually ANY game can be made into a 'strip' version), and when we were all naked, we had dinner, watched a movie, and then one guy went to his room, the other guy and his girlfriend went to theirs, and I crashed on the couch. Next morning we got up, got dressed, and went to class. It was a very normal night,...

Answer to:
Have you ever wished you were a member of the opposite sex and why? I occasionally wish I could be a guy for 24 hours or so, just to see what it's like. But I'd be pissed if I couldn't turn back- I may not be a *typical* female, but I am perfectly comfortable and happy to be one.

Answer to:
Have you ever wished you had LESS sex in your life? Nope. I tire out my significant others on a regular basis. ^_^

Answer to:
In what bizarre way have you been injured? I once managed to stab myself with a tagging gun (I was at work) that SOMEONE ELSE was holding. She didn't stab me- I stabbed MYSELF. She was just holding the gun. I'm so frickin' talented. ^_^

Answer to:
Is there a musician or band out there that you secretly like? No. I like all my music quite openly. People tell me I'm a lunatic on a fairly regular basis- some for the contemporary a cappella, some for the J-Pop. Which is fine by me. ^_^

Answer to:
Is sexual education a failure? "Abstinence Only" education is. To paraphrase Terry Pratchett, that's like refusing to let your kids learn self-defense because you think that means no one will ever attack them.

Answer to:
You ever go out...get drunk...come home, and then for some weird reason logg on to the internet, and do/say something you wish u hadn't? No, but I once drunk-texted my ex-girlfriend by accident. I forget exactly what I said... something about being stupid for splitting with her. Not that I was lying, but I didn't mean to TEXT it to her. ^_^

Answer to:
Are you YDLOM? I dunno- what does backward mold look like?

Answer to:
A freezing mixture is normally prepared by mixing some common salt with ice. Assign reason. Salt lowers the freezing point of water, I believe, so salty water can get colder than 32 degrees fahrenheit without freezing. (This is my understanding- could be wrong. ^_^)

Answer to:
Have you ever done something against your partner and you are still regreting in your life? Not my current partner. My first girlfriend and I split because I was cheating on her. Granted, she'd stopped having sex with me completely- we'd become like roommates who shared a bed. But she's a good person and was, other than the sex thing, a *wonderful* significant other, and she didn't deserve that from me. We're both paired up with other people, and we're friends now, but to be...

Answer to:
What is your favorite Whoopi Goldberg movie? I like the "Sister Act" movies the best... Oooo, "Corrina, Corrina", "Soapdish", also the "Sister Act" ones... but my VERY favorite, if you're not strictly sticking to movies, was Whoopi as Guinan in Star Trek: The Next Generation. (I know she was in the 9th movie, "Generations", but I thought that movie sucked so hard I'd rather not think about it.)

Should someone that had an affair, knowing he is married, be able to post pictures of them on a public site? If a married idiot wishes to post evidence of his or her guilt for the universe to see, then why not? At least then the spouse will have a good case for divorce- excellent if there's a prenup. ^_^

Answer to:
What's the weirdest threat you've ever used or heard? Serious or not, just the weirdest. My answer below. ^_^ I'm mixed-race, and my mom used to occasionally threaten to "slap the black off of me". I also used to keep little kids in line at various jobs I had by telling them I'd tape them to the ceiling. It's just outrageous enough that it wouldn't upset them, but they were never quite sure whether or not I was serious, so they tended to behave, although they did look at me a little oddly.

If you've spent time in hospital did you keep in contact with any of the doctors or nurses you met? Or what about other patients? I was locked up on a psych unit for a while. I strongly disliked most of the staff- they were barely saner than the patients. But there was one other patient who was relatively normal, just someone who had issues, like me, and we ended up spending a lot of time together 'cause we were the only ones really capable of having a coherent conversation. And as it turned out, she was pretty cool....

Have you ever done something bad/naughty/kinky while house-sitting at someone's home? My ex-girlfriend kept parrots and suchlike, so she used to housesit for a friend of hers who also kept birds, when she went on vacation.

So when her friend went away, I'd stay over and we'd screw...

What's your favorite comedy show? It's not on anymore, but "Kids In The Hall". That show kept me SANE for the two years I spent pretty much locked in my room because I was so depressed I couldn't stand to be around people.

Answer to:
What is the biggest mistake you've seen in a movie that made you feel so fustrated? I only saw the previews, but this is why I REFUSE to see the movie: White people in most of the main roles of "The Last Airbender". ::cries:: This is worse than casting "Memoirs of a Geisha" with Chinese people (although "Memoirs" pushed it over the "WTF?" edge by putting the movie in English with Japanese accents, and changing the freaking PLOT- I walked out halfway through).

What's your favorite or most disliked religious bumper sticker/advertisement you've seen? I always liked "Don't take your organs to heaven- heaven knows we need them here!" I try not to remember the ones I don't like, usually because they make me angry and I'm well aware that getting angry about a bumper sticker is ridiculous. I do like the "Darwin fish" ones, though. ^_^

Do you remember the first name of the main charachter in the book you last read? Weili was her Chinese name, Winnie her English one. She started out as Jiang Weili, and ended up Winnie Louie.

I bet you can guess what I'm reading now! ^_^

Answer to:
Based on what you see in the media, what percentage of men are the victims of domestic violence? Mind you, my vote is based on WHAT YOU SEE IN THE MEDIA, as per the question. I'm pretty sure it's a good deal higher, and that most men who are the victims of domestic abuse are too ashamed to report it, which is unfortunate, because their abusers ought to be brought to justice like any other one.

I'm the product of a mixed marriage (white mother, black father) and I used to think if I heard one more person say "What are you?" to me I'd go mad. But my favorite answer to a question like that is, "Species Homo sapiens sapiens, gender female. Why?" Makes 'em CRAZY. ^_^

Why do people feel the urge to committ suicide? People who attempt/commit suicide don't necessarily want to die. It's that they're in so much pain that they can't handle it anymore, and they can't see any other way to stop it.

Why is an aversion to sex a "disorder" if that fear protects you from diseases and harm? Makes it much easier to be celibate! I would only call it a "disorder" if it's fear that's causing it. If you're averse to sex simply because you lack interest in it, then that's just the way you're wired and there's nothing weird or unnatural about it- I have a friend like that. She'd rather have a dog than a significant other, only because she lacks interest in a sexual or romantic relationship with *anyone*. I don't find...

Answer to:
You are a psychiatrist. A male patient is deeply disturbed and disgusted by his horny, lustful thoughts! How would you help him be normal? Who says he isn't? I have horny, lustful thoughts all the time, and I don't feel disgusted by them. They're just there. He needs to feel more comfortable in his own brain, and to learn to accept himself as 'normal' (whatever that means) just as he is. In my not-so-humble opinion, anyway. ^_^

Do lesbians categorically hate all men? My psychiatrist says this is true. So, does my being bisexual mean I categorically love everyone? Your shrink is either stupid, lying, or in need of psychiatric care. ^_^

It's a pointless exercise that can never have a 'winner', and even if it could, what prize would you get? A special "oppression card" that can get you out of parking tickets?

When a woman gets her period unexpectedly and doesn't have a pad or tampon on hand, she is forced to 'invent' a sanitary napkin with toilet paper or somesuch. That's a fishimpkin.

Why do people say "brand new" about something they buy? The thing may not be brand name of something, and its never really that new- people in the store have touched it/tried it on/etc..

Answer to:
When I swear in English I attempt to pardon it by saying "excuse my French" Where did this saying come from? I only say "pardon my French" after having yelled "MERDE!" or somesuch.

I don't really care who gets offended by my cussing in English, so I don't ask for pardon. ^_^

I'm learning Mandarin, but the language they speak is WILDLY different- I only ever catch words like "I", "Mom", "Dad", and "girlfriend" (he argues with his mom about me pretty regularly).

Answer to:
What's your favorite curse word/phrase from another language other than your native tongue? Kuso! It literally means "fecal matter" in Japanese, but it's nowhere near as strong as "sh*t" is in English. Little kids say it, and it's often added to other words as an intensifier. "Hetakuso" = "REALLY bad (at something)".

Answer to:
Are you or do you know anyone who is prejudiced against people because of their profession? What profession? Why? My ex-boyfriend has it in for cops because he says all cops are 'dirty' (as in dishonest and/or somehow on the take), and doctors because he says they purposely allow people to die in order to collect organs for transplant. That sort of ridiculousness always infuriated me. Not to mention that he insisted that this sort of thing isn't bigoted, which is just nonsense.

If you could name yourself what whould you name yourself? My real given name is long and French, and my real surname is plain and boring.

It's properly pronounced "Shee-rah-nah-mee Mee-chee-eh"- yes, you SAY the final 'e'. ^_^

Which "H" boys' name do you prefer out of the following? Harper, Hayden, Holden, Howie, or Hunter? Harper, in my mind, has more of a female flavor to it. Hayden does too, and is also one of the names my sister and I use to refer to obnoxious little rich nanny-raised girls who behave like psychos in public.

Which "G" girls' name out of my list do you like best if you Had To Choose? Gabbie, Gillian(sounds like a soft g=j sound), Ginny, Gretchen, Gabrielle, or Gabriella? Gabrielle.

If I name my son Willie Stroker, can I be charged with child abuse? Wouldn't it be bad enough that your son would grow up to hate you?

Would you ever name your baby "Dick"? I wouldn't even name my child RICHARD without significant thought beforehand.

What is the most ridiculous name that you've ever herd a child named? I once met a little girl whose name was spelled "Shanna" and her mother INSISTED it was pronounced "Shy-ANN". Last I checked, that name was spelled "Cheyenne", like the capital of Wyoming.

Answer to:
J-Pop and other modern Japanese pop music sometimes inserts some English words into their lyrics. Why doesn't US pop music generally include Japanese lyrics? Listen to Scott Leonard's solo work. (He's the lead tenor of Rockapella, for those of us who watched "Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?" as kids.) He weaves in Japanese all the time, and occasionally other languages too. But the reason you get English in so much Japanese music is because English is universally "cool" in Japan, and we have no language of equivalent '"coolness" here, so...

(Mind you, I was bullied my whole life.) People find it easier to look for outside reasons for the nonsensical and terrible things that other people do. They want to blame television and music when it's really about how someone was raised. I would allow my children to listen to metal...

Answer to:
Would you rather die than kill someone in self defense? I would probably kill to defend myself or someone I loved, but in all likelihood my therapist would have to up my sessions to three times a week just to deal with my feeling guilty about it.

Answer to:
Would you rather die for someone? Or have someone die for you? I don't think I could live with knowing someone died for me, but I would not hesitate to put myself in the way of death if it were coming for someone I loved.

Does anyone else suffer from bi-polar disorder?? Have you ever done anything embrassing because of it? According to my sister, she didn't like hanging out with me before I got on medication because I was often overly loud and said inappropriate things, so being around me was embarrassing to her. I personally don't remember this too well (supposedly I've been sick since I was 12), but I've got no reason to disbelieve her.

Answer to:
Is it difficult to learn Chinese? Any new language is difficult. How fast you become proficient has to do with how hard you work at it and how much practice you get.

Answer to:
Is it better to learn to speak Chinese or Japanese? It depends on whether you want to spend more time in Japan or China, or around Japanese people or Chinese people. Me, I'm learning Japanese because it's my passion, and Mandarin so I can talk to my boyfriend's parents.

Answer to:
How many people besides the chinese themselves and the people near can speak the mandarin chinese? Such as Caucasians, African-Americans, Hispanics, Europeans, Southeast Asians, (indians, arabians) ect... Anyone who chooses to learn it, I would assume!

Why do news writer love the word "rape" when talking about a man's actions but avoid it when talking about the same actions by a woman? Because they're sexist and ridiculous. Rape is rape regardless of who rapes whom. It IS possible for a woman to force a man to have sex against his will, although it doesn't happen often. Assuming she's restrained him, all she needs to do is arouse him- and arousal DOES NOT IMPLY CONSENT. (There's actually an episode of Law & Order: SVU about this very subject.) If a man takes a man by...

Answer to:
Do you know anyone who was supposed to have a baby via c-section BUT their water broke & baby just oozed out naturally instead? Wow, I have NEVER heard natural childbirth referred to as "oozing". That's quite an interesting mental image. As far as the question is concerned, my mother was told she'd need a C-section for my baby sister because she was breech, but my sister decided to point head downward at the last minute and was born vaginally.

Answer to:
Why do parents ground their children as a punishment? These days? I don't know. Kids have video game consoles, computers, cell phones, televisions, etc., so a grounding isn't as serious a punishment as it could be, unless parents make a point of removing all of these things from the punishee's general vicinity. MY mom used to forbid me to read when I did something wrong, and BOY did that get me where I lived. Grounding me made little...

Answer to:
If your child came to you and told you she/he was gay how would you react? What would you say? "I'm glad you felt able to tell me. I love you." And a hug. And possibly a "Feel free to invite your significant other for dinner sometime, I'd love to meet them."

Answer to:
Do you think you should tell a child who was adopted as an infant that they are adopted? Some people think as soon as the child is old enough to understand the concept, that the child should know. Doesn't that "label" them and make them feel different? If I were to adopt a child, I'd explain that the child were adopted around the time I explained how babies are made. I'd also make sure the child understood that they were CHOSEN, not abandoned.

Answer to:
Should parents be allowed to return an adopted child? Only if they can be allowed to retun birth children.

What are the most insensitive first names parents you know have named their child to "match" their last name? (see example) I knew a girl in high school named Holly McCauley, I had a relative named Henderson Harrison, I had another relative whose first and middle names were William Bill, and I knew a guy in high school named Richard Handler (think about it).

Technology has found a way to let your "old" parents have more children. Do you want anymore brothers/sisters? I don't! I would LOVE a baby sibling. No way that's happening, 'cause I'm 30 and my mom had her tubes tied, but if it did, I'd BEG to be allowed to take care of the baby. I love being a big sister, partially because I've got no kids of my own and I've got an overactive maternal instinct. I have a few very young friends who I 'adopted' as 'sisters', and I do for them the things I'd do for my blood...

To anyone who is a racial minority, when shopping someplace, did someone assume you were working there when you didn't? How awkward did that feel and how did you react? That happens to me all the time. I do happen to be a racial minority, but I think it happens because I've worked retail for so long that I've just got some sort of "retail worker stamp" across my face. Also, half the time I USED to work for the chain in question, so sometimes I'm actually able to help even though I'm not an employee.

Answer to:
Do you get frustrated when your telephone predicts ridiculous unheard words when you are looking for simple words? Mine doesn't, normally. The annoying thing *my* phone does is give me "cup" when I want to say "bus" and "he" for "it". I would think that "bus" and "it" are the more common of the pairs (or at least they are when *I* text), and should therefore be the default. I can't seem to convince my phone of this, though.

What makes dark skin so bad? And pale skin better? Why can't people just see past that? My favorite line from the book "Roots" is, "The more blackness a woman has, the more beautiful she is." Whether lighter skin or darker skin is "better" is SO subjective it's not even funny. It's cultural, racial, national, and just personal. If you're being TRULY objective (which no one ever is), the color of one's skin is completely irrelevant.

I'm a half-black woman and I find that word offensive regardless of who is using it. The only time I ever say it is if I'm quoting someone else, or clarifying how a certain racist statement made me feel. (I describe my feelings about a comment made by an ex-boyfriend's mother like so: "It was the first time I ever knew how it felt to be a n****r.")

Why, or more accurately how, is it that "no man may see the Father and live"? Is it like radiation, or more like a black belt who breaks his wife's nose and says "honey, you know you can't sneak up on me like that"? It always made me think of the story about Semele, lover of the god Zeus and mortal mother of the god Dionysus, who was tricked into making Zeus swear by the Styx (an unbreakable vow, even for the gods) to give her whatever she asked for, and then she asked him to show himself in all his glory. It was Zeus' sister and wife, Hera, who tricked her into it, knowing that the very sight of Zeus'...

What is your opinion on that guy who went to prison for hitting a stranger's child? Good.

Answer to:
Slapping or spanking?Why?Why didn't you choose the other? Spanking can be seen as disciplinary (if the child is too young to be reasoned with, and they can be reasoned with younger than you think), and slapping is only humiliating, in my mind. There are rarely good reasons to spank, and NO good reasons to slap a child.

Answer to:
Would you discipline your child in public? If they were acting out in public, yes.

Answer to:
What are the Pros and Cons of Spanking? Well, on the one hand a swat might be the only thing a child of a certain age or temperament would understand. On the other, it could easily lead to thought processes like "If I want someone to do what I say I should hit them." Depends on the parent, depends on the child, depends on how the spankings are administered (how long, with what) and what kinds of transgressions the spankings are...

She turned all red and started sputtering, "You... you... you... you BUMBLEBEE!" and ran off.

In the first case, I was only punished like that while prepubescent, and in my mind that's a cruel thing to make a child's small hands do. In the second case, my mom sure knew how to get me...

Answer to:
What can influence a child's behavior? Everything. Situation, experiences, how the parents behave, how the children at school behave, how the teachers behave, what they see on television, what they see in public. Children soak in information from all possible sources, intentionally and not, and anything a child encounters can affect how it will behave later.

I can find them attractive, but for some reason I never find any I want to date. In fact, I have a thing for Asians. My boyfriend is Chinese and I'm a very happy girl.

Answer to:
I have heard people say that there is a God, only not the Christian God of Abraham. If this be the case, why would God not want his true identity revealed to the world as a predominate religion like Christianity? Probably because an all-knowing, all-powerful supreme being is completely indifferent to what a bunch of little planet-crawlers think it ought to be called.

Answer to:
If all the Christian customs originated from earlier religions...why didn't the earlier religions stay instead of Christianity being the predominate world religion? As Christianity gained popularity, the earlier religions were deemed devil/idol/whathaveyou worship and followers were either forced to convert or killed. Which is why, among other reasons, I'm not a big fan of organized religion at all.

Oldest kid is the teacher. Everyone else sits in front of the bottom stair- that's "Kindergarten". Teacher asks questions and as the others get them right they ascend in "grade" until someone hits the top, and that's the winner. ~ ...

On a more serious note, if someone absolutely HAS to refer to my race, then they should say 'black person'. Not African-American (I was born here, so were all my family, and I'm...

What do you want to do/think when someone uses a racial name I'm assuming that by "name" you mean "slur". If I'm acquainted with the person or persons doing the name-calling, regardless of what group they're focused on, I will walk up to them, inform them that they're being offensive and ask them to stop.

I recently described an acquaintance as the 'negress': is this description considered racially demeaning? It's certainly not polite, on two levels- technically it's sexist and racist. If you're being forced to talk about her race, "black woman" is a far more appropriate way to put it. I'm black and female and I'm sure I wouldn't like to hear people referring to *me* as a 'negress'. The gender thing is mostly awkward (I don't like the word...

When describing or referring to a transgender person, is it ever socially acceptable or politically correct to refer to them as "trannys", or do you consider this to be a derogatory description? If I absolutely HAD to make reference to their transgendered state, I would say "my friend who is transgendered" and from then on I'd use their chosen name and pronouns. Why belabor the point? But like I said, that's only if bringing up their trans-ness was absolutely necessary and/or relevant. Usually when I talk about my transgendered friends I just use their names...

I asked someone at work to stop using that word in that way just two days ago. She was nice about it, so all good.

Adam and Eve were white... yet there are black people on earth. How did that happen? If Adam and Eve existed, they probably looked closer to Arab than anything else that exists today.

I am 15 years old. I've started talking to my guy friend who is 20. I like him alot, and he cares about me. We talk alot and hang out every now and then, but we both know we can't get serious. People think it's wrong that we hang out, what do you think? Hang out all you like. But you have to remember the saying "15 will get you 20". If you guys get physical he can go to jail. Until you're done being underage there's nothing you can do about that. It sucks, I know, but if he cares about you he won't press, and if you care about him you won't help him do anything that could get him locked up.

Have you ever been listening to headphones in an area where regular speakers would be inappropriate, and just randomly burst out singing? Compulsively. Usually while listening to JPop, which means English-speakers look at me like I'm completely insane, and Japanese-speakers look at me like I'm a three-headed cat that's just gone by on a unicycle juggling dictionaries. And I have absolutely no compunctions about singing full-voice walking down the street. Just today I had about five random compliments. ^_^...

Are there drugs that improve singing voice instantly? No, but it's a bit of a creepy thought, isn't it? Even if there were, I'd prefer to get my new-ane-improved vocals the natural way. But that's just me.

Why does French assign gender to inanimate objects? All Romance (i.e. from Latin) languages do, and even some languages that aren't.

Most scholars agree that the Hebrew word in Isaiah, "almah," that is translated in the King James Version of the Bible as "virgin", actually simply means "young woman". (The Hebrew word for virgin is "bethulah".) Why is this so controversial? Because there is a Biblical prophecy that includes: "..and the *almah* will give birth..." that Christianity uses as proof that Jesus' birth (to a virgin) was prophesied in the Old Testament. There is evidence that the prophecy actually refers to a king born not too much afterwards.

A man is not *forced* to impregnate a woman, and once that happens it's her call. If a guy is that worried about having to pay for spreading his seed, then he needs to watch how/where he spreads it.

Veoh doesn't make a point of deleting episodes of shows just because they're episodes of shows {coff, coff, YouTube, hack, coff} [Yes, I know that isn't how you spell 'cough'.]

Answer to:
Do you like the anime Elfen Lied? I love it. Then again, I'm a pretty odd person. What hooked me was the opening credits- the images plus "Lilium". Beautiful. After that it wasn't quite as bad as it could have been to see two dozen people get dismembered by invisible hands. It's a pretty sick and bizarre show, but it still has depth to it. It's heartbreaking. Cases in point- what happened...

WHen I was pregnant with our son there was no problems sexually. WHats going on and how can I get him to have sex? "Pregnancy is unattractive"? He'd rather enjoy himself with porn than with you? Um. You're not going to be able to *make* him have sex with you if he doesn't want to, but in my personal opinion your bf is being petty and cruel. I won't advise you to "DTMFA" (as Dan Savage would say) but at the very least you guys are due for a long talk....

What makes a parent favor one child over another? I'm told my mother favors my siblings because I most resemble my father and I have the highest IQ out of the three of us. Sometimes I think I only want to have kids to prove I'd do a better job. My mother is insane.

Is it at all possible, in any circumstance, to overdose on marijuana? I don't think so. The only time I could have come close to ODing, I was too stoned to even raise the joint to my face again. So I'm pretty sure that before you even get close to injuring yourself, you'll be too high to smoke anymore. If someone else is HELPING you smoke (which would be outright silly) it'd probably be a different story.

Answer to:
Is it true that the way a person feels about themselves is reflected in the way that person generally treats their close friends and family members? I feel pretty vile about myself most of the time. But the worst I do to other people is ask them "not to start with me today", and that only if they HAVE attempted to start something. I only say that rarely. Usually, instead of saying anything, I just withdraw.

To hell with all i thought my dad was. i walked in on him looking at porn. he's married. he doesn't know i saw it. my mom doesn't know. should i tell her? should i do anything? or should i just try to forget? If the porn didn't involve children, animals, anyone he's related to, or your father himself, it's really his business if he wants to watch it. Porn isn't cheating. My boyfriend looks at porn pretty regularly. So do I. Our schedules are so different that we don't make love as often as we'd like, and we gotta get our jollies *somehow*. More people look at...

Think about it. Would you be able to tell if your parents were not your biological parents? Who knows? My mom apparently dislikes me both for my high IQ and the fact that I resemble my father. On occasion I still indulge in the "My REAL mommy and daddy are a princess and a prince and they're coming back to GET me!!" fantasy, and I'm well into adulthood. If I found out they weren't my real parents, I think I'd actually feel *better*.

My mom has always told me crazy things like "A man is like a car, you wouldn't buy one without test driving it right?" What crazy things has your mom said?

She split from my dad 3 years ago and now she's soured on the whole marriage thing and doesn't want anyone else to have any.

Bipolar has *nothing* to do with it. I myself have bipolar disorder, and I would never tell anyone to falsely accuse people of abuse.
