Depends what you mean. Any instance of saying "I think it hurts when I do *thing*," then doing *thing*, then drawing a conclusion about whether or not it huts to do *thing* is technically a science experiment, though most people wouldn't necessarily think of that when considering this question.

People say I'm mild-mannered for the most part, but I do get violent (or at least display anger or a combat stance) when I feel threatened or scared. I have also displaced my frustration on other bystanders before, too.

I guess for the last fact alone, I will say "yes".

Do you live in Afghanistan or something?

My fight or flight response is modem noises. One time a bunch of angry dogs jumped the fence and ran at me and I just looked at them and walked away. In elementary school a kid ran up to me and punched me because I was destroying him in dodgeball and I just looked at him, then he stormed off. When I play video games with friends or by myself I have no reaction to any danger and I usually die first. If I'm playing Rust and get attacked I just stand there and guilt trip the attacker for killing me while I die.

I vaguely remember someone threatening me at one point and I didn't reciprocate it at all, and they just got frustrated and told me to gtfo of there.

No, but I do have several phobias and am easily sensitive to stimuli.

It's good that seemingly nothing rattles you.

I'm not much of a trash-talker but I do curse (as a reflex) when things don't go my way. That's more of a function of me getting angry at myself. Otherwise, for the most part I respect my opponent and try not to hold grudges if I loser against them.

I'm a Fire Dragon, but I'd still probably go with Lightning.

If you're a fictional character with magic, lightning tends to give you more fine control than fire does, and with lightning you can usually blast your enemies without having to worry about setting everything else on fire. With lightning you can also theoretically go low-power and stun rather than kill, whereas fire really doesn't have much of a stun setting.

Plus, I know which of these two I'm relating to more:

Humans? Most aliens in sci fi usually call them Humans

I think there's a problem with using "humans" though, because not all the residents of Earth are humans. Humans share the planet with millions of other species of lifeforms.

What do you call the residents of planet Earth?

In terms of astronomical bodies, hypothetical residents of Mars are called Martians, in Venus they are called Venusians. But what about the residents of Earth?

I'm fine with kids somewhat, but sometimes I can relate to adults who don't like them if they misbehave or are too playful or whatever. I'm a "people pleaser" by nature, so it's hard for to set limits for kids while at the same time, making sure they are happy and not sad, too.

I once watched a convincing argument that Pluto should be a planet based on its physical characteristics alone (e.g. a thin but substantial atmosphere.)

I can think of a few possibilities for the capital of this hypothetical Earth nation:

Africa: It is the birthplace of humanity - the "dominant" species on Earth. Maybe one of the big cities there such as Mombasa and Nairobi would be a good place for the capital.

Middle East: Jerusalem is the holy city for the Abrahamic Religions - two of which make up the majority of humanity. Baghdad is a major city in the "cradle of civilization": Mesopotamia.

Europe: The region where democratic ideas first originated. Some of the big cities there could be good for a capital such as London or Paris.

North America: New York is currently the city where United Nations headquarters is at.

Others: Maybe another big city such as Tokyo, Rio De Janiero, or Sydney?

In my science fiction story I'm working on, I picked Mombasa as the capital of the "United Earth" nation.
