There are seriously a billion answers to this question. The thing about girls, you will never understand them. You can try, but you'll never succeed. You can come close, but as soon as you think you're right...they surprise you and change everything. don't stoop to their level in this endless game of miserable human behavior.

If you knew me you'd know that everything i do is an act of loyalty, honor, or the greater good. I know no other way to handle a situation.

If I were to inquire as to whether or not you are a virgin, would you be offended? LOL I'm not offended. In fact I can see why you'd think that. As a matter of fact I am not a virgin. I am actually in a relationship now. And no, sex hasn't really messed it up, in fact if anything it's saved it. But thank's for the inquerie. :lol: Intriguing. You may very well be the first person on this forum to say that and not be a virgin. Now that I feel you have some validity to what you say, why exactly do you shun something that has become an important part in your relationship? Is it because it has taken to large a role in it? Or do you simply hold this belief because you always have in the past and you havn't really found any substantial reason to ever change it? Since you asked... For the most part, I see it as a bad thing for many reasons. Most of which is the fact that it's motivated so many inhumane acts. I look to history to learn a lot about human nature and the way we act. Human Nature facinates me. And it also discusts me. From what I can tell, we're all pure and innocnent, but very easily corrupted. Most of this time, this corrption happens post puberty. Although, fate calso has the capability to force corruption on the innocent at a younger age, but that's completely unrelated to the topic at hand. Anyway, as far as I can tell sex has created what was responsible for every human related disaster. I mean, at first sex is all about getting happy. but then you become dependant on it, some even addicted. this addiction (or dependency, regardless) is a motivation very high on the scale of priorities in humans. if we don't get sex, there will be hell to pay. it changes us. on the flip side, too much sex can lead to issues too. between unwanted pregnancy (leading to poor parenting, to start an even worse cycle I won't get into right now) and cheating, over sexuality is an issue too. As humans, we've really dug ourselves into a hole. Not enough sex can lead to anger. being denied sex leads to jealousy. unsatisfactory sex leads to misery and/or anger. after a while...it's not even a happy action anymore. pretty soon sex is the only thing that makes life worth living. you go through your crappy life to have sex. To some, it doesn't even matter who. Just to feel 'happy'. It makes me sick. I'm not saying it happens to everyone, as not everyone falls into this cycle, but a lot of people do. On the brighter side, yes it is a good part of a healthy relationship. Yes I do enjoy it. Yes it is a rather large portion of my relationship. As it is to many. But just look at the paragraph structure. There's so much evil compared to only a bit of good. The amount of good is enough so people do it. But the evil...to me, it'll always be there.

:wall: God this is so confusing. I found 4 different sites all with their own charts, all of which are different. I don't think this could get much more frustrating. I might as well just borrow a friends disc and try my damn self at this point. And for the record, most of the charts implied that PS2 RB drums do work with GHWT.

A knife is a weapon. Knives have been used for years upon years as tools to help us with cooking, skinning, making other tools, protection, and the works. You can't tell me that nothing good ever came from the same things we murder each other with. Also, drugs have very beneficial medical factors attached to them. Getting high isn't the only purpose drugs have. My main point was that it's not sex that's bad - it's people themselves who make it into a bad thing. Animals have sex all the time but without the same consequences that humans encounter when they do it. There's a bright side to sex too. It helps keep our species going and it's a great way to show your affection to your love partner. Just because there are negative aspects about sex when it is abused that doesn't mean it's "the root of everything bad". I like the way you think. You've proven to me that every thing can have a positive take on it. Something i didn't consider in this discussion. I still believe that sex is the root of all evil, but I do see a more postive side to drugs/weapons. I knew already sex can be good. But my point was in the long run, it ends up being bad. If I were to inquire as to whether or not you are a virgin, would you be offended? LOL I'm not offended. In fact I can see why you'd think that. As a matter of fact I am not a virgin. I am actually in a relationship now. And no, sex hasn't really messed it up, in fact if anything it's saved it. But thank's for the inquerie. :lol:

Where did you find that chart? I'd like to see the PS2/wii section of it

I'm not really all that cynical myself, but I am rather intelligent. And I agree, most intellectuals and logical thinkers are cynics. Why? i think it has to do with their realist thinking process. They see things as fact and ratio. And let's face it, there's a lot more bad in this world than good. so to someone who looks at fact and ratio...that's a good reason to feel negative. But the counter theory to this is the fac tthat the original info is bias. News only covers the bad stuff, so that's all we ever hear about. in truth, the world is balanced in good and bad, but with all the attention on the bad, people become cynical. That's my thought anyway.

I just got the full rock band set. ( \ ) I also just recently played Guitar Hero World Tour. Both are great, but that's beside the point. I like the fact that GHWT had customizable songs, which I'd really love to toy with. Now i have no intention of spending another $120+ on videogames again anytime soon. So instead of buy GHWT I was wondering if i could just buy the disc for $50 or whatever and then using all the Rockband instruments. Before I go out and do this, I wanted to know if the Rock Band drums/guitar/mic will work with GHWT. Rumor has it that most GH guitars work with rock band, but maybe the drums being double compatible would just be too convienient. But that's why I'm asking. Anyone know? Thanks in advance :D

Perhaps not all murder...but say someone slept with your wife. You'd feel like murdering him right? why? cause he had SEX with your wife. Jealousy stems from sex. They put clothes on to HIDE their shame. They COVERED their shame. Their shame being nudity. Shame is a part among many that makes us human. How may I ask are weapons good? Other than protection...from other weapons. Drugs? those aren't all that good either. Sex and drugs go hand in hand alot more often than you may realize. Money? Other than being a method of fair trade, money overall corrupts, I agree this CAN be good. But it can also be related to sex (prostitution, which is bad). I doubt sex has ever lead to anything that good. other than reproduction of course. (but even that can be bad when you think about it) Anyone else wanna take a shot?

Hell yeah! That's where my money is.

I lol'd Anyway, my first son is going to be named either "Ari" or "Leon" after my grandfather, as per family tradition. I'll let the mother name my first daughter.

Nice! Even if she was just genuinly being nice...feel free to take advantage of the chance she gave you. a week does seem like a bit of a wait, but hell, better late then never. Call her. Give it a go. Talk to her. All that good stuff. She came to you, it doesn't get much easier. Just try not to come off like a creep :lol: Ah. A common issue as I recall. Back when I checked this thread regularly we used to get this problem 3 times a week. Unfortunatly I don't see our resident "pimp-i-fier", Solidus. As I remember, he handled most friend zoner's. I'll take a shot though. For one: Ignore virtually everything LenticularJ just said. I've never seen such a blunt way to look at girls in my life. I couldn't imagine any of it works. Surely it'll prevent you from being friends with the girl, but you'd have little chance of them even being interested in you after that facade. You're what girls call a "nice" guy. This can be used to your advantage. Be as emotional as you want. you're the nice guy. you can get away with it. If it's a girl (a friend already) that you're after...just go for it, you already know her. If it's a girl you don't know that you don't want to be friends with before dating her, then do just that. One of Solidus's lessons I remember explicitly was the golden pick up rule. Also known as the "three second rule". I thought it was crap, but it seemed to help a lot of people. Basically count to three, if your not already talking to her by the time you hit three...you already lost the pick up, cause then your over thinking everything. Now the difference for you is to talk to the girl, not like a friend, but like a love interest. Show her your intersted. Go heavy on the flirting as soon as possible. Not overly heavy, but heavy in comparison to what you've been doing. You'll get the hang of it after one or two attempts. Good luck ;-)

Because the openness of sex would increase the speed of sexual interest in children. This could result in even younger reproductive ages. Besides, sex originates anything and everything that we label "bad". Think about it...bad words...bad emotions...bad actions...bad motives...bad intentions. It all roots back to sex. Or the concept of sex. or the idea. or whatever. I dare anyone on this forum to prove me wrong in saying that.

O_o Your last statement baffles me. I'm not sure you learned anything from the discussion my methods rose. You sound like you took liberal and made it even more liberal. It all sounds great in theory, but I can tell you now, your kids will not take you seriously at all if you raise them in that manner.

Oh you are very welcome. : I think it's possible to both fear and love your parents. My folks can get pretty scary sometimes but I still respect them and it that scare tactic is probably one of the main reasons I never get into any trouble. I know what you mean but I guess what I was trying to say is that I want my children to feel comfortable coming to me when they have to make a big decision, or if they need help, or when they have boyfriend trouble, etc. My parents have always behaved in such a way that I have never been comfortable with talking to them like I would a friend because they never make an effort to truly connect with me. I don't feel comfortable telling my parents I messed up or made a mistake, because they're the kind of people who would just get mad and punish me for it. They don't try to talk to me about it. They just hear what happened and punish me accordingly. They rarely listen to what I have to say. It's so bad that I would feel better lying to them than telling them the truth. I don't want my kids to be in that situation. I know that the kind of fear that you mentioned can be effective, but I wouldn't want to use a "scare tactic" on my children. I would want to establish a more personal bond and find other ways to prevent them from getting into trouble. The flaw in that logic is there comes a point where your forgiving, "i won't get mad, it's okay" attitude is...the kid will start believing it. The things they do would get worse and worse (in theory) because they have the belief that as long as they come to you, it's still okay. Atleast that's a pattern I've noticed. I don't mean that I just would never get mad at my kids. I mean that if my kid were to make a mistake, I wouldn't want them to think, "Omg my parents are going to kill me.. they'll never understand why I did this.. they just don't care." I know that being "overly lenient" can be a bad thing. There are people in my grade who drink and do drugs and when their parents find out, their 'punishment' is not getting to sit on the floor at a basketball game.. instead they have to sit in the stands. That kind of parenting is just stupid. As I said in my above reply to Zierro, I just want my kids to be comfortable with talking to me on a personal level. I don't want them to see me as just a parent who drives them places, cooks them dinner and yells at them when they screw up. A lot of parents are like that, and I don't want to be one of them :P I understand. I never meant to imply that you would be intentionally be overly leanient. I'm just saying the line between over protective and under protective is a thin wire that very few parents that I've ever seen have achieved. I myself would rather fall on the over protective or "harsh" parent side. Atleast that way my kid will understand consequence.

Not that your not liked, some people are just harder to remember. Some people have left lasting impressions on the Off-topic forum, and they are mentioned more frequently. Mean while people like myself have been forgotten in our time away to be replaced with new faces.

I suppose you're right about that. After all, like what IgodessI said, it could have been worse. The equality thing is the real problem and it seems to be a recurring one. I still think she's a major hypocrit, but I suppose I'll go easier on her than I initially intended. Cause, it still irritates the hell outta me. To over look the drinking thing would kinda suck in a just world, but I suppose in the grand scheme of things it truly is less important than the core issue. This thread has saved my relationship yet again. I love this place. Thanks Mel and Justin! :D

When you put it that way, I sound like a real [bleep]. But I definiatly want to be respected and treated as an equal. I mean, she's fine when I'm around her, but the second I turn my back...something else goes wrong. I don't want power, I want equality.

True, and isn't it interesting that the old wish for youth, and the youth wish for age? My point about the 45+ range was that with all the medical risks and responsibilty and stuff...I'd just rather be too young to care. A life without care is a perfect one in my opinion.

That post confuses me. This means that you know what fate means to be? And fate is flawed so its up to you to fix it? :? No but looking to history can help predict the future. and in history...fate screws ovwer everyone. atleast once. sometimes its bad. sometimes its little. and rarely fate will aid people (whether they need it or not). I always try to act in the greater good of things simply because I feel that fate will be the end of us all. After all, it is our fate to die. So I combat fate with all my might and muster, even if I don't make a difference, i feel better for trying. It's why I give out advice to people who seek it. Because they're fate is esentially crapping on them, so I step in and help. That's how i see it anyway. :shrug:

1: I procrastinate 2: I bite/pick at my lips to the point of shedding tissue. I hate the 2nd one, but it's so damn hard to stop :wall:

Don't listen to Justin... If you were to take his advice only 10% of 15 year olds would even have girlfriends. More than 70% of Australian children under the age of 13 report having consumed alcohol and this increased to 90% by 15 years of age. (Bonomo, Y., Coffey, C., Wolfe, R., Lynskey, M., Bowes, G. & Patton, G. 2001, 'Adverse outcomes of alcohol use in teenagers', Addiction, vol. 96, no. 10, pp. 1485-96.) Talk to her. This is a great opportunity to strengthen your relationship and put trust in to each other. Okay, so she made a mistake. She got drunk at a party, is it really worth getting angry over? Do you think you will get better results if you ask her why she did it? What her feelings were at the time? Is there anything happening in her life that she needs to talk about? It's also natural to test boundaries in your relationship. How else are you going to learn what your partner is going to be like in the worst of worst situations? One day you're going to get married, whether it be to this girl or the other and it's through better or worse. You need to roll with the punches and handle them as they happen at a mature level. The more you care about talking to her and finding out why, the more she will come to you and tell you the truth. Be thankful she cares enough about you to tell you the truth. How many teenage girls do you think go out and get drunk at parties behind their boyfriends backs and they never find out about it? You have a point in that it could have been worse. and she always is really honest with me. the problem with honesty is - she's under the impression that by telling me what she did, she can get away with anything. (yes if you remember me from like a year ago, it is the same girl). For those of you just tuning in, long story short, she cheated on me. a few times. with like 3 or 4 different guys. At this point I almost want her to lie to me. I'm sure I'll get over this as I have everything else, but she made such a hypocrit of herself (citing my last post). I don't wanna break up, but I'm tired of her walking all over me.

lulz. I love the joke advice. Why do you see drinnking as not a problem though? I never really understood that. Were you around alcohol alot when you were a kid? cause i don't have any drinkers in my family on either side going way up the family tree. I didn't even know what alcohol was until I was like 8. She's probably sober by now (4.5 beers about 9 hours ago from this post). So she'd feel it if i did hit her (not that I ever would :lol:). When she called I yelled at her for being stupid and hypocritical (she's always telling me how absolutly dramatically stupid underage drinkers are, its like her 'thing') and told her to go to sleep. I never went back to sleep. Nor have I called her back. I'm still pissed 6 hours later :|
