Americans. do you consider England and the British empire an ancient civilisation?
As one of the only surviving ancient civilisations left intact the world seems to forget our past. Our version of the constitution was written a 1000 years ago but because we have wtitten annals archaeology and anthropology are redundant and therefore it seems less exciting
My hometown Oxford, and many of its building yhat are still in use for the same purpose as built are older than the aztec civilisation

2 AnswersMental Health8 years agoMy best friend is paranoid and in denial.?
i love her with all my heart buy she began to put others down, make totally false accusations about people who love her for hating her or laughing at her, imagining worst case senarios about nothing at all, belittling people and generally being mean and bitter for no good reason, and setting stupid irrational expectations for people and then being angry at them for not meeting, she also has become obsessed with control of pointles anal things to a irrational level, taking over inflated satisfaction from it and expecting others to be impressed. when not important.
its so hard as she is so lovely and caring and now she is quickly alienating everyone. plus its increadibly hard to bear being accused by someone you love! x
1 AnswerLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender8 years agoAmeicans: do you really think creationism should be taught in schools over evolution?

15 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agowhy do people have a problem with Atheists?
OK, so i have recently "come out" as an atheist, not that it was ever a secret really.
I have always been an atheist, and so are most of the people I know. but I haver recently announced it on social media etc. I am utterly disgusted by the amount of awful people who have told me they want me to burn in hell, (which is kind of stupid as I obviously dont believe in Hell!) or have insisted i am evil, or have no morals.
this is nonsense! cant they see this is making me see them badly? I never judge or questioned people until I started to be judged and questioned and it hurts!
I cannot understand why they seem to think being an atheist, it like being a Satanist, or being a member of the we hate god club. it isn't!
why be so mean? what does it matter? nobody likes being preached at. if your a christian try imagining a Muslim shouting at you and telling you your going to hell for believing the wrong thing - or vice versa?
12 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoWhy do some people feel the need to insist you are wrong for liking certain foods? it's just rude!?

I mean I cannot stand olives, but wouldn't dream of embarrassing someone who enjoys them! If anything, I wish I could enjoy them too! Lol
1 AnswerEtiquette8 years agoHelp! sexy secret santa dilemma!?
OK, so this year my boss has decided to do sexual gifts for secret santa up to £10. but i drew the short straw and got her partner, who is a frumpy middle aged divorcee. now i never really liked the idea in the first place, i am no prude, but i just cant imagine anyone wanting a sex toy or something that is a tenner anyway.
thing is i don't think i have the nerve to go for an all out sex toy - but maybe i should? the other girls are, but then they probably have younger more fun cheeky girls to buy for.
her sister suggested a vagazzle and crotchless panties as a joke, and she seemed to like the idea, should i go for this? lol
any advice?

7 AnswersPeople with Disabilities9 years agowhy is it acceptable to be afraid of dogs, but if someone if afraid/ dislikes cats then its weird?
i cannot stand to be around cats. when one is in the street loose i am really worried, and i dont want to go into a home with one in. i get lots of grief about this from cat lovers.
as a dog owner. and dog lover i would never let my dog loose to jump up at people who may be afraid, and if someone said they were nervous around dogs i would keep him away.
i know dogs can be dangerous, but i have a ten inch scar on my arm from when i was 6 and a friends cat attacked me. it needed 30 stitches so this proves cats can be too.
