It is a sad day when the answers of debate are merely cynicism and sarcastic denials of the others' arguments. What would Demosthenes say? Actually, I don't want to know. I don't have the time for such oration.

I believe in god and fate. Because it's hard to believe in your friends. But one has to believe in their enemies- particularly if they can count divinities among those enemies.

sorry, did you even read the article? the only issue contested is the origin of civilization, which has nothing in particular to do with evolution per say. It has to do with the origin of settlement. I was rambling, but I still forgive you.

Of course we've been wrong. Our ideas will always be revolutionized and reshaped. Although this is cool. Only Darwin's basest ideas hold water these days. Survival of the fittest is hardly something to teach in school, as there are so many different facets of evolution. Having a goal is not one of them.

I'm asked if I'm gay a lot because most of the guys here are homophobic jocks. It's like a bad 80's movie sometimes, I swear. But whatevs. It gives me an excuse to tell them to not be gay and give me a kiss. Kind of a [bleep] move, but oh well. At least I'm not pointing out that the only way they get girls is by providing alcohol. Not even good stuff. A guy invited me to a party where there was gonna be a 12 pack of Keystone Light right before Spring Break. I'm glad I had far more fun. I'm a firm believer in shorts ending barely above the knee. I have sexy legs, so that influences my decision. The same goes for swim trunks, although I allow them to be three inches higher than my knee or so, because that's proper. Board shorts just don't look good because most guys try to hide a bad body in their absurd bagginess.

Or keep knee pads in your car and hand them to her when she gets in. Wink. When she acts disgusted, remind her that you're going rollerblading. Wow.

If there's a girl you'd like to start getting serious with, take her on a real date. Hanging out with girls is fun, and you might do it a couple times with a certain girl, but at some point just say "I'm going to take you on a date." Tell her at least a day beforehand a general idea of what you'll be doing (you must know exactly what you're doing). Girls hate surprises in that they might be ill-prepared for whatever happens. A real date still isn't dinner and a movie. Never do anything that constrains you both to being in the same location for a length of time, not for the first few dates. Once you've built the relationship, go for it. Until then, make it fun and original.

Hey! I know that! Just need lightweight, natural clothes. Cottons, maybe tropical wools if you can get them. Undershirts are very important. Or just go simply with cool shorts and a plain t-shirt, some interesting shoes. Lucky for me, it's been raining here for two weeks straight (hurricane sends storms up here), so it's been nice and cool.

As a large-lipped fellow myself, I have to wonder what 'flicking' it actually entails. I'm picturing an Elvis Presley sneer type thing. Which I can't imagine is what you're talking about. Do explain, dear friend. Bottom lip under top teeth. Bite a little bit. Flick lip out. Look sexy.

How I learned to stop caring about other folks' opinions (well, in a base fashion, everyone cares) when it came to flirting - do it all the time. And don't take yourself too seriously. But, what I like to do is wink. My eyebrows are a skill for me. I can wiggle them and there will be panty-shaped holes all over the ground. Or something. Maybe. And the much-underused lip flick. One of my dear friends likes to do it fast, but he has enormous black guy lips, so it's an earth-shattering effect. My little lips, I take my time, get into it, maybe close my eyes. And then flick like nobody's ever flicked before! Flirting is not conversing. In fact, you don't need to talk at all. If you don't know what to talk about, maybe that's the best option. Go go go

Tan Puma suede-and-canvas sneakers are usually my go-to shoe. I have some Sperry's slip-ons that I wear occasionally. For formal shoes, I have some cheap black oxfords given to me by my brother and some cheap, rather uncomfortable loafers I also inherited. But I can make those sum[bleep]es shine. I'm outgrowing all my shoes, even though I inherited every pair I have except for some work shoes I have and those Pumas - and they were massive on me.

He's very obsessed.

Not the best advice to give a 17 year old that barely understands girls. I know too many guys that don't understand people in general, and are so bitter because everyone else has had more sex than them. Yes, totally an allusion to that stupid bunny song.

And stop making sex such a big god-damn spectacle. You should definitely not approach it with a girl you barely know unless she approaches it first - even then, it can be a bit of a trap. Particularly if she's very good looking - part of the elimination process. If you're going to approach it, approach it like a man. It isn't a big deal at all, until it's actually happening. Then, you should care. I get enough of the "WOW [kitty] AWESOME" at my own school.

I stopped reading when he said sex wasn't on either of their minds. That alone shows that he doesn't know too much about 15-year old girls. Hell, 15-year olds in general. But after that, it isn't hard to figure out what happened. Move on...

I should shower twice a day the days that I work. I like to wake up with my shower (I turn the water all the way to cold halfway through - better for you in so many ways). But I tend not to shower until I've done all the work I need to do in a day. I don't like that habit.

Unless you're besieging Troy, you should bathe every day. Even when camping. That's why you camp beside a river. Or, if you're crafty, a hot spring. Woo! But seriously. If you're doing anything more than playing video games all day, you'll understand the need to shower every day. If you've been sweating and working (particularly if you have a dirty job, like mixing [bleep]ing concrete that never gets out from under your fingernails) all day, a shower is your goal.

I guess I'm lucky. I went through my jerk phase in about 5 months. I don't particularly regret it, just think I could have done some things better. But it's helped me learn. Although who knows, I might have another one when I'm older. If I do, it will be terrible indeed. Probably bloody, too.

Never be ashamed of writing a love letter. They're the manliest way of expressing affection over a distance; letters in general are the most honorable method of correspondence. That's not to say texts or calls or e-mails are bad. Letters are just better. Everyone gets excited by personal letters, even if they're boring as [bleep].

Yeah this is all true but you fail to consider other factors. Helmet hair (for logner haired/styled males and women especially) Need to get an entire biking outfit (leathers) Storing/carrying around said biker gear all day; leathers helmet etc take up alot of space Practicality of carrying stuff, be it books or friends or w/e Higher accident rate Higher fatality rate in accidents etc. Plus, most states only allow <250 cc bikes for the first year of your license. You could barely get one of those to highway speeds (which I assume he would be taking the highway? maybe not, but still).

For like a year I always thought that nothing could be trusted. Phones, books, pictures. I thought everyone was staring at me when I was naked (pretty often...). Of course, now I've moved to a different conspiratorial kind of fear.

That's why we usually ride our horses.

Okay, if he's that bad, challenge him to a duel or something. Whatever you kids do.

Because the buses in my town (excluding the ones at Texas Tech) drive from the east to the west and then disappear. And you will never meet the love of your life on a bus. Ever. Even if she was there, she'd probably be getting perved on by around eighteen odd people. Oh, and if the bus driver goes slower than 55 miles per hour, it explodes. Wait. Those are stereotypes. Buses can be okay! Test them out first, though. How far is this that almost ten dollars a day is cheaper than a car? You'll be on the bus for a while. Plus, if you make friends, it's far more fun to actually be able to hang out with them after class instead of rushing to your bus. You're trapping yourself with a time constraint.

Bow chicka bow, shick bikka bikka tow! I regret nothing!
