    whats normal you say? well what you think normal is!
    if normal to you is getting into fights, arguing, being a ****, drinking 10 pints when you go out (or drinking 2) or not even drinking at all!

    see what I mean? theyre just a tiny amount of examples to show what I mean, it could be anything really. the stuff you think everyone else thinks or does, do you think you are the same or unusual or something in between?

    Everything here is normal.
    You're perfectly normal.

    Go back to sleep, I'm sure the fight is over now.

    I am conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural.
    I'm approximately average in any psychological trait, as intelligence, personality, or emotional adjustment.
    I am free from any mental disorder; sane.
    Free from any infection or other form of disease or malformation, or from experimental therapy or manipulation.
    I am of of natural occurrence.

    I can be defined so that the integral of the square of the absolute value of any function is 1.
    But also having the property that corresponding to every pair of disjoint closed sets are two disjoint open sets, each containing one of the closed sets.
    Another property I have in spades is that the same set of elements results when all the elements of the subgroup are operated on consistently on the left and consistently on the right by any element of the group; invariant.

    I have a straight unbranched carbon chain, each carbon atom of which is joined to no more than two other carbon atoms.
    Often I am of or pertaining to a neutral salt in which any replaceable hydroxyl groups or hydrogen atoms have been replaced by other groups or atoms, as sodium sulfate, Na 2 SO 4.


    As you can see, I'm quite normal.

    It's true, you just can't beat a roast dinner on a Sunday.

    What is normal? How do we define it? Is there such a thing?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,122 ✭✭✭BeerWolf


    I'm... unique.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,346 ✭✭✭King George VI


    So normal that I use expressions that make no sense out of the right context. As I always say, if like what you taste, take what you like, huh!?

    1) Normal IS A MADE UP WORD used by SHEEPLE to justify something being RIGHT OR WRONG.. 2) I have my own mind thankfully.....

    Conclusion: If the word "NORMAL" meant anything,then I would not be classified as such since I am WIDE AWAKE and use my own mind......

    But since "Normal" doesnt mean squat,who cares??


    Do what feels right FOR YOU :)

    According to the poll, so far we have ten special snowflakes.

    I'm as normal as anyone else around here, but there does seem to be a tendency nowadays among some people who want to see themselves as 'unique' or 'special', for no particularly discernable reason, like something actually unique about them, not so much even as an achievement bestowed on very few individuals.

    Facebook seems to have catered well for this particular form of narcissism with it's 'fifty shades of gender' nonsense.
