Is there an overactive gland that can make someone a habitual liar?
Q. I know someone that said their girlfriend was in the mental ward of a hospital. They told me that the doctor told him that his girlfriend has an "overactive gland" that is causing her to be a habitual liar and also causing her to not care about her children or him. The doctor told him that if she takes this "pill" she will be good as new and will actually care about her kids and him and will not lie anymore! i was wondering if this is possible or if maybe HE is a habitual liar too.

A. Inalienable rights are those which cannot be taken away. Though our legal system only respects inalienable rights of those who work within the confines of the law. If you're speaking in terms of natural rights, as in that which from the creator (the god of your understanding), the government should be incapable of taking them away. That is, if you believe in a creator. Otherwise, rights can be considered that of social construct. Meaning, if you choose to act outside the law, the rights extended by your government can be revoked. Both sound like Santa Claus to me. Either way, if you're found guilty of multiple counts of child molestation and murder and have exhausted all of your appeals, I think you should spend the rest of your… [cont.]

How do I stop a habitual twitch?
Q. OK, I have a habit, that I kind of lash my neck up, and it cracks. I have been questioned several times on why I twitch this way, and it is kind of embarrassing. How do I stop this?

A. I think the previous answerer meant Tourette Syndrome or Tourette's Disorder. I used to do a lot of little nervous things like twitch my nose, rub my fingers in movements of threes, etc. It could have been a symptom of obsessive compulsive disorder or something, but I think it was more of a comfort mechanism to put order in my brain when I was feeling unsure of myself. As I got older, I wanted to quit doing it. Whenever I caught myself going into the motions, I'd stop myself, breathe a little and calm myself. It was interesting because I didn't realise how stressed I was until I started trying to soothe myself. Eventually it got easier. I still have to actively think about it, but I don't find myself doing it as much anymore. It… [cont.]
