disagree  Tom2004: please clarify... do you intend the past tense of "stick"? i'm not sure but i think the past of "stick" is "stuck", isn't it? (concept is valid, though!) I disagree with your answer because it is grammatically incorrect!
9 mins
  -> If the concept is valid you shouldn't disagree, just make the comment or remain neutral. I think stucked is correct, but I'm not positive
neutral  Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X): then you may have been stucked .:)..sorry but please look this up...

neutral  Gabo Pena: i'm stoked!

paralyzed


Explanation:
in the absence of further context I would have to "stick" with "paralyzed"

eg. "Too often, economic difficulties paralyze a business and the inability to make a decision or develop a strategy can make an already bad situation even worse." http://www.bccz.com/templates/practice_02.html?key=Debtor - ...
