The whole "image" thing is exactly why I stopped skateboarding after high school. I didn't like it enough to do competely by myself, but it was fun with friends, until they all turned into the typical skater stereotypes. Aside from that, people always assumed things about me because I was a...

While the cosmology behind it all obviously cannot be valid, there is something to it. Over the course of thousands of years, why wouldn't they come up with something useful, even if they can't properly explain it? A friend of my father's had a tumor in his throat. Western doctors tried...

I'm not so sure. What I was referring to was, what value is there in finding a girl and using "techniques," or whatever other means necessary, just to get her in your bed and forget about her?

To put this as delicately as possible, and with full-intention of being mature about my question(s) and any discussion that follows from it/them, does doing this make you happy? What value do you find in seduction?

Visceral, I wholeheartedly agree. I don't think you understood my post if you still think that logic and emotion can only exist together as a dichotomy. Logic is a great tool. In fact, to oppose logic is to oppose reality. Nothing goes beyond logic without going being reality. But you have...

Have you? I contend that if those are the principles that you understood Ayn Rand to be advocating in her books, then you are one of the most close-minded people I know, willing to overlook the actual arguments and ideas for the sake of maintaining your own ideas, unwilling to consider any...

You are asking the wrong question. Take away my emotion and what am I? It is impossible to be human without emotion, it is impossible to be masculine without being human. The greatest men in history were more emotional than most men today. So what's the difference? There is a difference...

Since I don't have access to a gym, the last few days I've started running once every day or two. My cardio-vascular system is out of shape so I can't go for more than about 30 minutes with breaks walking in between, but I've found that what's stopping me from going for longer is that when I...

He was arrested and they got off with no penalty? He said some nasty things to them, they physically assaulted him, and he's the one who's at fault? It takes a lot before offensive comments become threatening enough to where self defense like that is necessary. He was less than polite, but...

Exactly. Once you bulk, you will have a much easier time getting the fat off because throughout the day your muscle will be burning off so much extra energy. There are a bunch of studies about women using weight lifting to lose fat.. in many cases they gained muscle and still lost weight, just...

I disagree. Acting happy won't make you become a happy person, it will make you a person who acts happy. I know tons of guys who act tough, confident, etc, but if you look closely they never "grew into it." If you look closely you can still find visible insecurities, often having to do with how...

Agreed. Minors are basically helpless against their parents, short of physical abuse (and often even then). The most frustrating thing in the world is to have your rights walked all over without being able to do a thing about it. Luckily, Rint, Desidinova is right in that at this point you have...

This book basically teaches you how to make people like you and do you favors by being fake. After I read it, I thought it was great, it would help me to deal with my social problems, become confident, etc. In reality, it shows you how to manipulate people by hiding your insecurities. That is...

Friend of mine showed me this, the sprint employee referral plan. 500 mins, free powervision (internet), free nights/weekends, free roaming, for $30 a month. All you need is an employees email address and they arent hard to find. http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?sduid=0&t=243068

EDIT: Oops, I posted this before you replied to my post. Also, I'm not really the best person to ask about business (I'm not a businessman.. there are a few of those here who might be better suited to help you with those kinds of questions). I do know that businesses fail all the time. Many of...
