Well, if you'd call that murder, for not letting potential life grow, then you should say that about any protected sex, masturbation, and any of those late-pills aswell. Heck, you could even say that about a woman's period.... As for how they'd feel... I don't know if they could even understand how they are feeling, and either way, it's usually over pretty soon. I think living a life of suffering is much worse than not living at all.

Thanks. I'll post here after the test and tell you how it went.

I'm going to have a driving test in about 3 hours. I'm reeeeeeeeeealy nervous...! Good luck me :).

I know the feeling, and since I do, I'm also pretty sure you wouldn't take my advice until a few years from now. If you wish to prove otherwise, I'd be very happy :). The thing is, no one really judges you other than you. I haven't seen your body, yet I'm certain there's nothing wrong with it. I'm also certain that even if there was something wrong with it, no one would laugh at your at the gym or at all, unless their aim is to hurt your personally, which they'd do even if you had an "amazing" body. The fact that you've never been kissed is something I'm pretty sure you keep telling yourself every once in a while, and you should stop that habit. What you do here, is convince yourself, unwillingly, that you're not as good as others, that you're not equal to them, and that you probably shouldn't hang out with them so not to further embarrass yourself . You should instead make a habit of telling yourself the things you do like about yourself, and if you do so properly, you'll probably end up more confident and not need these reassurances. If (and as a guy, I'm pretty sure you are) you're thinking of the kissing and losing your virginity part as sorts of... ceremonies in the way to manhood, you should stop that aswell. I assure you that with enough confidence and a bit sociallizing, these things will come naturally, without you even thinking about them. Just try to lose the pressure around that area, no one else other than you cares for these things (not even your friends, they're just having fun, albeit in a cruel sort of way). The most practical advice I can give you, is to try to really go to one of these parties or hangouts your friends invite you to. You'll probably be a bit anxious before actually going out, as you're not used to it, and some fears will pay a visit, but you'll probably end up having a good time and wishing you would have done that earlier. To lose some more pressure, I'd advise you to put on your best clothes, so as to feel more confident. And remember, they're your friends, not your enemies, they're there to have fun just as much as you are. I hope this helps :), at all.

Yes, let's agree to disagree. To cover for the amazing off-topicness, umm... What do you guys think about the philosopihcal side of abortion?

I don't get why you would want all drugs to be legalized. Laws aren't there so can annoy you, laws are here to maintain order. If people were to take drugs (hard drugs, that is), problems would arise. Addicted people are a risk to a society, they'll get aggressive if they don't get their next fix, they'll commit crimes to be able to fund their addiction. It goes much further than just harming your own body. Because I find it very wrong that these drugs are illegal in democratic countries, even if they're very harmful. Are human beings smart enough to make up an opinion and vote for who they think is fitting, but not smart enough to decide what's best for them? Yes. Or else we wouldn't have any problems with drugs right now. Are you claiming that if drugs were legal, we wouldn't have any addict that would be a threat to his surroundings? It's not because you know better that everyone does. Actually, the point I was trying to get across is that no, they're not smart enough to vote. Many people vote without actually knowing much, if at all, about the parties participating, their agenda etc. If, despite that, people have the right to vote, then people should have the right to decide whether or not to consume drugs, despite the risks/problems/etc.

Are human beings smart enough to make up an opinion and vote for who they think is fitting, but not smart enough to decide what's best for them? I think that if drugs are illegal, some sort of politics test should be a must for anyone who wants to vote. You don't pass, you don't vote, simple as that.

It goes much further than just harming your own body. It could be argued that many of the problems are there because the government is just pretending that it isn't happening. And that a big part of the appeal is that they're illegal anyway; people want what they can't have. I've always wondered how you can make suicide illegal. I mean, there's not much you can do if they succeed, and if they fail why make their lives worse by arresting/punishing them? Do they want to encourage people to succeed? Naw, nothing like that. If they fail / the authorities suspect they're going to commit suicide, then they're usually hospitalaized by force. Some go to a nut house, some are released for supervision. By being illegal, it means the authorities have the right to partially ignore human rights, is all. It's still absurd that it's illegal though...

That's the point of a free society, being able to completely own your own body. Suiciding may be legal in the US, but in most other countries (as far as I know) it's illegal to commit suicide. Drugs may (or probably) will be something anyone with decent funding would go for if it was legal, but there's nothing you can do about it. If you're going to stick to the democratic values, drugs shouldn't be illegal.

Sort of.

Pics or it didn't happen I'm looking at you condescendingly :lol: It didn't really work because I was laughing. Actually your eyes appear pinkish-high. I wouldn't think of it as condescending :P.

Girls mess around with guys' minds. It could be you, it could be someone else, and it could also be no one, just a line she wanted to type in. I wouldn't pay much attention to these things unless I saw a name...

48. GUYS, PLS US NUMBAS!

Of course not! ...uh... actually, I have a confession... I lolled :).

That's not the reason suiciding is illegal though... Probably not. But I was demonstrating how suicide isn't just something you do to your own body, it goes further than that. I still find drug-consumption, suiciding, and abortion as acts that should be perfectly legal. Now that I know you're hot... I don't know how to respond to you... ... Go make me a sammich. Heh There's an obvious reason why drugs aren't legal (suicide is legal, btw). The government is in place to protect the well being of the people, and, as I'm sure you know, drugs aren't exactly good. If drugs weren't illegal (Pot excluded, as it's not very harmful), you'd see the same thing going on with Cocaine as it is with Cigarettes. Little kids would be lured in my advertising to do Cocaine and Meth, and, instead of getting addicted for 40+ years, they'd be addicted for like 5. If a 30-year-old can do Cocaine, there's no logical way to stop said 30-year-old to sell his drugs to a middle schooler for a couple bucks. I do agree that abortion should still be legal, though. I still think of it as an economic thing as opposed to a moral thing because there're conflicting ethical issues on each side, both of which I half-heartedly support. I posted some stuff a page back on my ideas. In most countries, suiciding is illegal. If the authorities suspect you're about to commit suicide, you will more than likely be hospitalized by force. Ofcourse, in most cases they're way too late... which could possibly explain why many don't know suiciding is illegal. That, and the fact that no one would sue or imprison anyone else if they had suicided, and if they were caught beforehand, they'd be hospitalized, not imprisoned. As for drugs. Why not? It's my body, and as a person in a free society, I'm deserving the right to decide for myself.

You meet your past self and immediately disappear. Date: December 22nd 2012. Reason: Either finding proof Earth still is okay, or repopulating Earth.

^ Wow! Is also a mind-reader! < Very well did not eat pizza in a month! V Also thinks this thread eventually grants people special powers.

That pretty woman not being smart is mostly a stereotype... beautiful people are capable of being smart... EDIT: Wow, that came out as boastful methinks.

That's not the reason suiciding is illegal though...

49! I'm with Goon, chau.

49! We're on the lead! Woot!

50. @Felix- He counted perfectly fine...
