- Let's see.
I watch anime and play videogames so I am a nerd.
I listen to gothic music so I am a satanist.
I studied psychology so I am intelligent.
I have a lot of male friends so I am a promiscuous girl.
I have read the Bible (partially) so I am religious.
I do not drink, smoke or do drugs so I am boring.
I like violent movies and games so I am a tomboy.
I like colorful things and girly music so I am a girly girl.
I am always cheerful so I am naive.
...
However if you really want to get to know me and find out which of these stereotypes actually fit me: read my posts or talk to me.

Mentally we can evolve unless we turn into a pokemon and phyiscally evovle I don't think that time is coming now."
jeroen replied to Kiera's discussion How much control do we really have over ourselves?"We can controle some biological reaction with emotions and fake emotion. Like sweating, drooling, crieing, ... but they are very limited. This is because of evolution, manilupation of certain reactions was usefull for survival. Like the human who…"
Amoira replied to Kiera's discussion How much control do we really have over ourselves?"Primitive emotions are controlled, obviously. =P Just depends on the individual and how drunk they are....

Kiera's discussion was featuredHow much control do we really have over ourselves?
I was reading a few articles last week about how we're not just capable of exercising control over our emotions and thoughts, but even over the biochemical reactions in our bodies to a degree.Apparently there are cancer patients who are given treatment that invovles sessions of meditation in which they are to try and through visualization "order" their bone marrow to produce more leukocytes to attack the cancerous growths, and in a substantial amount of the test subjects the white blood cell…See More

Zequr replied to Kiera's discussion How much control do we really have over ourselves?"I think we are able to control our emotions as much as we want.
