I'm 21 and I've had the same suit since I was 13. The slacks and the coat are way too short and my chest is a lot broader now than it was. I wish I had a suit but I usually end up spending my money on stupid stuff before I have enough money to get something useful.

Raised Roman Catholic, tried the agnostic thing for a while, Asatru for a few months, went crazy (literally, no offense meant to athiests) and was an athiest for about 3 weeks, when I came back down, I settled back on agnosticism.

I truly fail at religion. I see its main value as a life philosophy, and a means of salvation as a secondary purpose, but I'm a very erratic person so my views tend to be quite unstable.

I'm shallow in a sense since I really can't get attracted to girls if I don't find them physically attractive to begin with. On the other hand I find most girls that aren't obese or anorectic physically attractive so I doubt I come off as a shallow person in practice. A cute face and good sense of humour is usually enough to melt me.inoperativeRS

A man after my own heart. I find all types of women attractive as long as they aren't disgustingly fat or skinny. The face is where it's at, and she has to have a great personality. Those two are my big factors. If she doesn't have those, I won't bite.

Yep. FYI the friend-zone is not just being friends with a person of the opposite sex. That seems to be a common misconception in this thread. The friend-zone is where one person wants to be more than friends and the other doesn't. It is the story of my life basically, so I am intimately familiar with it. Nearly every girl that I know has either been in my friend-zone but wanted to date me or the vise versa. It sucks putting someone else there, and it sucks being there. I've basically given up on being around women all together. At least while I'm sober. That way I won't feel quite as bad when I pull the old hit-and-quit. It's very against my style and my nature, but it's about all I can handle at this time, which I'm not okay with, but that's life. It goes on so I go on with it.

Every time I wind up in the friend zone I usually give up being friends altogether. It actually just happened to me with one girl who I used to talk to every day. I haven't heard from her or spoken to her in weeks. Another girl is in my friend-zone at the moment and she's been at it for over a year.

It's a bad situation and sometimes it's best to just walk away from it. Either way someone is gonna end up hurt quite badly. Wasting your life trying to make someone feel the way about you that you feel about them rarely works. Experiences may vary, of course.

I do it all the time on yahoo answers

I am the poster in that one

Wow, I haven't laughed like I just did in a long time. I appreciate it :D

I trolled yahoo answers before but I got my account banned. Other than that I usually just lurk.

I've got a Mosin-Nagant from '42 and a '67 Yugo SKS, both unmodified. I love the look and feel of wooden stocks on guns. I don't really shoot much anymore but it's fun every now and then to go out with my friends and see who can hit what. I never have had the desire to kill somethingl with a gun, human or otherwise. I do, however acknowledge the necessity of an armed populace in protecting the country from oppressive governments. That is the purpose of firearms being the 2nd amendment. The first amendment is in place so that people can use their speech, demonstration, and written words for the purpose of undermining a government that betrays the constitution. The 2nd amendment is to provide a safety net for the 1st amendment. If the 1st amendment is ever eliminated, it serves as a sign that the time has come to reconstitutionalise the government by force of arms, arms that were gathered by informed civilians in the times when the government was not openly flouting our rights. The fact that so many people cheer the death of the 2nd amendment shows a tremendous lack of foresight. If we have no arms, the government no longer has to fear our dissatisfaction. All we will have is words, and with THEIR arms they can take that from us as well.

Lesnar can. One fight doesn't necessarily mean Velasquez will win another fight against Lesnar. He fought better last night. I want to see another match between the two of them personally.

An earlier poster said he was unsure if any culture accepted homosexual marriage. One example that I have heard of is the Cheyenne tribe of America. Homosexual men, called Himanweh or Himanee or some similar word (I don't remember, it was over half a decade ago) could be taken as wives by heterosexual men. This assumed that the homosexuals would be inclined towards the feminine. I don't recall any accounts of two openly homosexual men marrying within the tribe, or a masculine man taking exclusively male "wives" but I know that men did marry men in that culture. Unless of course, the sources I read were completely in error.

In any event, if there is a god as described by the Christians, he clearly said it is not YOUR place to judge or condemn. The bible is now available to most people. I'm sure every gay person you have personally met has heard all the arguments against the way they are. They don't need to be bashed over the head with that same information repeatedly. You're contradicting your own faith when you assure them that they are going to hell. Even if the bible tells you something, only your GOD has the power to decide where a person goes when he dies. You are just being obnoxious and un-Christian when you speak as if you already know how any person will be judged.

Where I work we call the wizz a Code Yellow. Crud is a Code Brown. Working with kids can be hell at times. Just be glad you didn't have to clean it up. Coming from the other side, it's really no fun. You think the faculty want to follow you to the bathroom? They aren't enjoying it either. It's bad for them, too,

Imagine someone else taking their place. Can you do that? Do you want to do that? Imagine life without them. Can you? Do you want to? Love is giving up one form of freedom for another. You can no longer just do whatever you feel like at the moment, but the great freedom for me was that I didn't want to do those things. I didn't feel like I had to just keep putting one foot in front of the other. I could see the end result of my goals in sight and I could see how to achieve them. A person that makes you feel like what you want in life is possible is a person you love. A person you want to have intercourse with, but that doesn't make you feel like it would hurt you to be with someone else in that way is not someone you love.

Love informs you of the decisions you make. You should not feel able to do terrible things to them. Cheating, lying, insulting. Those are all things that should seem too terrible to ever do to someone who is in love.

Love also destroys and frightens. If you are away from the person you love for months at a time, you will always still have the feeling of hope, because they are still with you and at the end the distance will not remain. They can be close enough to touch but if they are no longer with you for whatever reason the fear of never experiencing life with them again should crush you with despair.

Love is terrible and wonderful at the same time. It gives you so much when you have it and it takes it all back when it is gone. The happy memories that used to help you pass the time apart now does nothing but bring you pain that you cannot see beyond.

That's how I know. It doesn't work for everyone but it may be helpful.
