Birds and their complexes...
What is the best part of being a bird? Well, from a human perspective it would definitely have to be the flying. God created them in such a way that they can lift themselves up and, with carefully positioned feathers, fly wherever they want to. So, although the majority of birds are not exactly the most attractive animals (do you REALLY want to start comparing them to lions, tigers etc?)they compensate for the lack of beauty with the fact that they can fly...The point is that chickens and turkeys must have serious complexes in that they have feathers and some form of wings but they can’t use them to fly...they just run up and down clucking and gobbling. In simple terms, they have not been given the ability to see the world from above...from a bird’s eye view...doesn’t that make them a lesser form of bird? Wouldn’t you have issues with the fact that you’re just as ugly as the next bird but unlike him/her you can’t soar into the sky (how great is that: soaring into the sky!) The male peacock makes up for this by showing off his colourful plumage but that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have his own set of complexes...In conclusion HOW can one blame me for being ornithophobic...yes i admit it i’m shit scared of these “things”... and their complexes.

Why i feel sorry for superheroes based upon my limited knowledge
All superheroes are also geeks. Spiderman used to be Peter
Parker...shy photographer, glasses wearer and all. Superman thought he
was simply Clark Kent...shy student, glasses wearer and all. The Hulk
was Bruce Banner....shy scientist...didn't wear glasses but he may as
well have. Daredevil...can't remember his alias but he was a lawyer
and he didn't wear glasses because he was blind...Batman doesn't count
because he has a sidekick whereas the others are doomed to
solitude....(although I can understand why one would choose solitude
over Robin)Which brings me to my point. Yes, granted that all of the
above went from supergeek to superhero, but they are superheroes that
not only have to hide from the world for fear of alienation of some
sort...ironic, seeing as they are alienated as geeks anyway, but they
are constantly sacrificing themselves for a greater cause.One really
should feel sorry for superheroes. They're all lonesome spinning their
webs, flying through the air, becoming green and mean, using their
walking sticks as weapons ..basically saving the world. All the chicas
they could be sharing their hero-ness with seem to bail on them at one
point or the other...well wouldn't you? Sure, it would be great to have
a boyfriend/husband who saves the world but what happens when you're having
some minor crisis –which you deem to be extremely important- and he
says "sorry luv, not today i have to go and ...well...you
know...save the world and stuff" of course if he's arab he wouldn't
say "and stuff" he'd probably say "we 7aga keda". I'm sure you'd
accept it the first few times but after about a year or so you'd
probably tell him to go save the world but never come back...and
you'd go and find some normal dude to help you heal your
wounds...Poor superheroes. As geeks they don't get the girl because,
well...because they're geeks and as superheroes they get the girl but
can't hold on to her because, well...because they're superheroes!
So every guy who wishes to be a superhero should think twice and every
girl who gets the chance to go out with one should...go out with
one...who cares if they abandon you at some point to put the world in
order...at least when you're 80 you can say "i webbed with spiderman"
or "flew with superman" or "jumped from one building to the next with
daredevil"...or... "helped the Hulk sew up his jeans!" (very special)
