unwritten rules
Man law is law. But it has many a loop hole. Being drunk excuses 90% of all misdeeds. All things can be repented with the proper amount of alcohol. The law is the law. Do not doubt it. About the waiting thing though, Unless the guy was your buddy, go for it - no need to wait (some don't believe this to be true, but there's alot of things that can be factored in to justify it).

I need some tips on improving speed, if you don't mind
Strap on some ankle waits and jump up and down for about a half hour. Everyday. Leave the ankle weights on and walk around all day. Stretch and repeat daily. You should see a lot of improvement.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
A question for Sworddude : Why is it that your advice is always to ditch/leave the epople that are causing the problems? Does this work for you at all out of curiosity? Cause I assure you there are frequently better optons. @ Deathdrow: What your going through sucks. alot. But this kid lives 40 minutes away from you. He shouldn't have such a direct influence on your life. Your girlfriend needs to cool down, but in all honesty you and the other guy both have to stop taking crap so personally. I recommend everyone involved needs to take a chill pill, and then in turn each admit thir own faults. A resolution of sorts should then proceed. @ Rsdude099: Your stalker is a petty one at best. Block the number that keeps trying to call you, set your profile on private and cut her off your friend list. That should at the very least slow it down.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
I guess that's true. She was just the perfect personality for me. Bah seeing her with this dude makes me so angry. ;_; You know what? You all spout that [cabbage] of a statement up way too much. "She's not worthy of you", "she's not worth your time", "you're better than this, better than her". You know what else? Stop. You may think you're being helpful but you're really not. You're telling the person that they shouldn't change, that they shouldn't improve themselves, that the world should fit them. You're treating them like five-year olds. Expect more of users. Treat them better. And when the truth needs to be said, say it. Derek, you have this all wrong. It's not that she isn't worth your time, it's that you aren't worth hers. Why? You're boring and uninteresting (and most likely fit other bad personas), and you need to change that. Do you need to change who you believe you are? No, but you need to learn from this and improve yourself. You need to learn from her that she doesn't want to be with you, and she may not be the last to feel that way. Strive to improve yourself in every way, every day. Oh, and stop with the stalking. One of the reasons she listed for you, bluntly, was that you were smothering her. Trying desperately hard to get her back... do you even need a short version of the explanation? Just... stop. Move on. [riku, if you agree with me (if you're merely telling him to move on rather than flatter him, the latter which I see a lot), my b. just trying to make a point, not single you out] For once I agree with you. And I'm quite sure that this is a first. You don't have to change yourself to improve yourself. You can keep the same interests and core values as those things make up who you are. Some things you can change are things such as manners, social networking habits, and hygene. The better you make yoursel, the more they'll want you back. Not that going back to them is always the best choice.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Jesus. That's quite a situation. Honestly I don't see their relationship as being very stable. Ethically, just be close friends with him. or you can be the maniulative [bleep] that tears them apart for a stab at "true" happiness. If you like drama, tell him how you feel and let it play out. Atleast that way you can say you tried. Is his relationship issue his fault or his "old ladies"? (personally I wouoldn't even want to involve my self with this guy judging by his actions) still need info on that... -.- Don't beg for advice we can't give you. If you have a girl in mind, keep meeting her in person. Eventually a moment will come. Yes you can force it, but it's better if it just...happens. I've found that you can corner people into situations wear you can kiss them, but I can tell you from personal experience they are far less pleasant. Now's your chance! Strike while the target is confused. Shock and Awe, Shock and Awe! In a more serious manner, she now knows you like her. Act now or never, you'd be surprised how well an open heart works. Be forewarned it could blowup in your face though. I hope this girl atleast knows you. If not, play it off like your friend was just being an [wagon]. That can work too. (But I'd take advantage of the opurtunity if I were you, as trying to admit you like her much later than this situation could lead to higher chances of disappointment). All depends on the girl I suppose. Good luck.

Emo kids.
My "definitions" (I don't personally believe in labeling, but for the purpose of general identification and education, I'll excuse this) Emo: The stereotypical personality of those who stereotypically dress "scene" or "hardcore". This is not always the case however. "Emos" can dress however they damn well please. They are commonly accused of being cutters and often seem to have some sort of "issue". Also believed to complain a lot. Most also pin them frequently with their love of poetry and all things depressing. Again, not always true. One can be labeled emo if in a bad mood, even if it's only for a day or so. That can be enough for the savages that believe in these stereo types. "Emos" are also commonly believed to be loners. Scene: The "dress code" of those labeled as "emo". However, I've noticed that people who dress "scene" tend to be generally happier than those who don't. This style includes things such as Converse shoes, tight jeans, and really (for lack of better word) interesting hairstyles. Usually a style that brings a lot of attention if done properly. Usually involves a lot of irony, asymetric designs, and lots of skulls. "Retro" accesories are also common. Almost like a more colorful version of what is known as "goth" Hardcore: Very similiar to "scene", but with an attitude. Involves much more black and much more skulls than "scnene" Also requries a random key chain hanging off of back pocket. More ironic clothing, and usually accompanied by exotic piercings. Commonly known for listening to Deathcore/Screamo music. All of these things are commonly related, but as I see it, they can be very different.

Cologne
Whoa, that's a good idea. Not a terrible way to meet chicks, either. +1 That's a brilliant idea as to how to meet people. I may just use that sometime. I'm an Axe guy myself. I vary between "Kilo" and "Clix". Both are great, but terrible when mixed (lol). Don't get the Holister stuff. It makes me choke. I can seriously smell that entire store all the way accross my mall. and I got a big mall. Just thinking about it makes me cringe.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Well, not my fault. 6 are in my home-group and based classes. -Science, Maths, SOSE. Whats wrong with 11? I have alot of mixed-up classes, and my school has around 200-240 year 9s. Holy [bleep]. we barely had 150. though mind you 70% of those were stuck up girls who though dating an Older man ment they were more mature. There were Pregnant or Mothers now. There's a few girls in my year level dating year 11s, I mean, come on? Thats kinda screwed imo. Like the year 11s cant do any better, nor do the year 9s know what they want them for ;p 1. Age doesn't make much of a difference. As long as their within 5 years of each other - I say, "whatever". Unless this implies one is younger than 15, or if both are older than 30 in which cases, there are exceptions to this rule 2. i agree with the "11 crushes doesn't constitute crush anymore" theory. You may find 11 girls attractive but if you honestly have a true crush on all of them and can see yourself being with all of them...you may want to rethink the way you see relationships. It's good to keep your options open...but not that open. Being too available can only cause problems (especially in a tight-knit social network like highschool) 3. My graduating class is ~280. Not the biggest number that's been posted, but I feel it's a decent sized number. It's large enough to have a variety, while being small enough for most people to be friendly. keyword being most.

Is my History teacher insane?
figurativly, yes the cold war did escalate to a "great war". but there were no real battles or skirmishes (unless you count the 1980 olympics). The US and the USSR region have only ever been on oposing sides of a skirmish during the two world wars. And almost in Vietnam. Communism caused some political tormoil between the USSR and the US but never any actual combat during the Cold War. Which is why it's called the "Cold" War. It was merely an arms race. I think it's also relatable to the Cuban missle crisis, but again...no actual combat, just diplomacy. Your teacher is full of it.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Peoples priorities have gone from relationships to sex, imo i feel like im the only 17 year old guy out there that actually wants a relationship Your not alone. I gravely desired a meaningful relationship as early as 15. Albeit almost 16 at the time. prior to that it was a relationship with a -10 abstinense. I kinda out grew that though. I'm now 17 and can honestly say I've am/have been (I'll explain that in just a second) in a very serious relationship. And I enjoy(ed) every second of it. Now then. We've been discussing the same 2 problems for the past 3 pages. It seems it's my turn to bring one to the table. Most of this forum probably remembers me and my girlfriend's issues. I certainly post enough of them. Well this time is honestly not much different from our previos issues. But in a way, much worse. For those of you who don't remember, my girlfriend has a nasty habit of hooking up with other guys (and occasionally a girl) both behind my back and right in front of me[literally]. Among other things, but that's what I'm gonna focus on for now. Long story short, she decides to seduce my best friend whom has held said title for a good 12 years. I don't blame her entirely, he deserves 50% of the blame as well. Anyway, as you can see the situation is not so good. All they did was make out, but that more than enough for most people to break up. I love her to death, but I simply can't trust her. And it sucks alot. All this crap added on to other life stresses has caused her to take up cutting again as well. Which is never good. So I'm just kind of lost in the tangled web of problems, as every issue our relationship has ever bumped into kinda slams us all at once. So far we've talked about it. She's taking his(my best friend's) advice in driving a distance between me and her. He's right, but I don't think it was his place to say so. anyway, point being is that I'm going to be goin on a break with my girlfriend for god knows how long. I'd say chances are rather high that we'll get back together eventually (you don't just throw away 2 years without a fight) but at the moment I guess I could be considered single. I'm not exactly sure what I'm asking you guys, because frankly I'm so confused I can't even form a question out of all this. I guess all I can ask is, if this is the right thing to do?

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
What? My friend got naked pictures from his girlfriend today. HE ASKED HER OUT THIS MORNING. I mean, she is a [bleep], but ... It can. No pics, no proof? :twss: twss or no twss, fact is it happens. Even if he's exageragting, I guarentee somewhere, its happened. Sex in three months is practically considered slow these days. I've seen it much much sooner in a lot of cases though. I really hate the way the rules of highschool have swayed for our generation.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Are you a virgin? Because if you've never actually had sex, you don't actually know what you prefer. From an opinion of a non-virgin I'm right there with him. I'd much rather have a good steady relationship then a one night stand. One night stands in my opinion are more for getting over the loss of the former. In other words, I'd never want to get into a one nght stand unless I was incredibly lonely. That - and if I had to choose between a one night stand and a real relationship I'd go for the relationship no question.

What happened to the laughs?
Threads like these are the cancer of OT. Seriously think abiout it. By posting this topic that surely loads of people will post in, you just took up a space in the front page where a "lulzy" topic could have gone. But what you say /is/ true. the lack of hilarity on OT has been up recently only to be countered by a few cheap thrills (ie FML thread)

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Ouch. What'd you do to piss Fate off that much? Unfortunatly there isn't a good solution to this no matter how you look at it. You're going to get hurt. The question is, how should you take it. You could try to maintain an international relationship, but lets face it...a lot can happen in a month. It could be years before you actually see her. If you care about her, the best approach would be for you to maintain a friendship. She'll be one of the closest friends you'll ever have. Even if she's across the earth. You could also try to forget about her and gradually let her go. Personally I wouldn't though, as it could be either very painful or very painless, and frankly its not worth the risk. Bottom line, I suggest you spend as much time with her as possible, and have the time of your life. When it comes time for her to move, promise her that if things don't work out in the long distance thing, just be friends. It'll be tough at first yes, but the distance will actually make the transition easier. Sorry bout the situation.

Does Islam Promote Violence?
Ideally no religion promotes violence. Infact most promote peace and unity. Especially Islam. None of the major religions (ie. Catholasism, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism etc) promote any form of large scale violence if any at all. Most try to promote a peaceful brotherly embrace. Unfortunatly there are loopholes in the explanation of all of this in the religious texts. Judaism states that the messiah will not come until every jew shows up to synagogue. This can cause conflict, and as humans conflicts often escalate to violoence. Christianity believies that if you don't believe in Jesus, your hell bound (or something along those lines). This can be misinturpreted and makes every none christian look like a devil. As christians they see the need to purge the devil causing ocnflict. Islam believes something about how the whole species needs to be united under one religion. Islamic extremists think their religion is good and want every one to convert to it. Unfortunatly to get this point across, they often resrt to violence. (ironically against the core principles of islam). As mentioned the Catholics have to remember the crusades (I'm not gonna retype a point thats already been made). So violence according to religion should only be used as a punishment for the most part. If that. But when fingers are being pointed left and right over land, money or power it's hard to tell who is really at fault. Violence spreads like wild fire on a global scale. Some may be able to even justify that America deserved 9/11. I'm certain somebody somewhre could. Whether you agree with their reasoning or not is what causes the conflict. That conflict leads to violence. I feel like I'm typing in circles...I think my points been made.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Sad, but true. At school, when the Alumni come to meet, half of them are couples that formed during their school years. Nowadays that's almost unheard of :(. How old are the alumni? the dating game has changed significantly in the past 30 years. I guess what I'm getting at is people tend to break up over nothing now adays with out bothering to work anything out. And on the other end of the equation are those who are unhappy but don't feel itas right to be single. So there's an insane amount of divorces going around. And society these days practically embraces polygamy. it's terrible. I'm shocked any relationahip can make it these days. Well for your sake I hope you aren't very critical on movie genres. As a pointer I suggest you not act so stubborn on a date. Also I'd like to add that just because you can't agree doesn't mean you can't date. My girlfriend and I in the 2 years we've known each other have never EVER agreed on anything. But that's half the fun. I'm not that critical on movies, just the bad ones. ;) Honestly though I don't plan on dating anytime soon, but when I do I'll try and find someone with fairly similar interests and personality. And no offense, but anyone who says movies are great first dates, I probably won't take their advice into much consideration. No offense taken, you're entitled to your own principles and opinions. But as Goddess said, it'd be in your better interest to keep as many doors open just incase a few shut on you.

How did you come about finding tip.it?
my best friend and I played a lot of Runescape back in the day. His sister googled "Runescape quest guide" and came across Tip.it. After a while of him prasing the site I started using it, even back then 4 years ago it was very useful. I didn't start using the forum until much later. I came to the forum mostly out of curiosity. One of the newarticles caught my eye and it had a "discuss here" link. I clicked and the rest is history.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
I was right there with you. Our situations were almost perfectly in sync. Until I read the last hand full of lines. That threw your situation over the top. 3 moths unto dating my flirty girl and I dealt with this kinda crap too. I still do occasionally. Fact of the matter is - this isn't the only time this is going to happen. You might as well just let it go. I completely understand how angry you are but if you want to keep her, you're just gonna have to suck it up and except this as one of her flaws. Believe it or not, your girlfriend has flaws. Just like everyone else. You're going to begin to see that from here on out. I wish you the best.
