    The OTHER Rat Race.

    Re: One of my own theories stems from the belief that OUR generation (18 -30) and successive ones, DO NOT SUFFER ENOUGH. While many of the gentlemen on this website are -conscious- of the need for balanced future/present planning, that does not negate the problems of current and future...

    How Disinformation is Spread Throughout the Internet.

    I recall driving home 1 night, listening to a talk show about a woman who's sole job it was to drag pedophilical predators out into the light. She worked under the ruse of being a 14 y.o girl, sometimes 11, or 12, depending on her perpetrator. However, this woman was 65 and retired, so to speak...

    The OTHER Rat Race.

    A Rat Race is the Scramble of Rats to the One goal, all pushing, shoving, and killing each other to get the goal (cheese). In the midst of striving for the goal, the rats forsake those around them, and all life moments that pass, for the sake of temporary gains (nourishment). In MOST cases...

    Manipulative b!tch almost had me for 18 years!

    Re: I can empathize with both sides. On the 1, you feel betrayed, that someone you perhaps trusted the most (as you're having sex with her) would so blindly misplace your trust by committing such a vile act. On the other, you didn't exercise foresight or caution in this case at this...

    Living For the Moment vs. Pursuing Goals

    Re: Long-term goals are a series of short-term bursts and inspirations. It's only that the MIND operates in 3 places: PAST , PRESENT, FUTURE. So people are very delusional about reality, because the only thing REAL is your physical body. The MIND has the immense power to live in 3 planes, and...

    Move Out vs. Saying Home

    Re: The #1 trait here is: WILL, DESIRE, DRIVE. The will to live, succeed, and make things happen. You can doing anything so long as you're willing to accept the good with the bad. In my personal opinion, I wouldn't do it. I would do what I want to do. But in the grand scheme of things...

    Who will win Super Bowl XL?

    Re: You can recognize whatever pleases you. However, clarification should be mad for those that didn't watch it, who have preconceived notions about it, or are decidedly against it. It was ruled 'tuck' because it appeared to be an incompletion / tuck fumble, based on what Brady was doing...

    Who will win Super Bowl XL?

    Re: Everything you posted, Survivor, was ALL the Steelers did, and not ONE call went against the Steelers in some dramatically material way. Not one. There wasn't a call back of a TD. There wasn't a questionable fumble, or a questionable INT. Nothing. From the get-go, this was the Steelers...

    CONDOMS in LTR

    Re: To All Guys: Are you kidding? No Protection? If you're using NO protection, are you prepared to have a kid AT any point? The MORE sex you get, the HIGHER the chances are of her getting pregnant. Sheer statistics, I don't care WHAT form of contraception you use. SURE, condomless sex is...

    Who will win Super Bowl XL?

    Re: Guess what? Guys, Pats are going for a 3peat. I will NOT recognize the Superbowl 40 debacle. 11 points? Come on, they missed 2 field goals. And HOW many td's were called back for artificial calls, completed concocted with conspiracy in mind? Any other game, FINE. But even BIG BEN...

    Feminist Author Betty Friedan Dies at 85

    Thoughts of My own. Rights aren't given, priviledges are. If something is a right, such as freedom, it can't be given, because it can be taken away. Priviledges, on the other hand, are given and taken. They're fluid. Don't confuse them. Our gov. doesn't GIVE rights, they merely PROTECT them...

    Fat, Burning, and Physiology.

    Re: *It's possible to drop weight on any diet if you expend more calories than you store/consume. So if you're maintenance is 4k, you can burn 5k, esp if you're large, so that isn't impressive. However, I'm sure this 'guy' is smaller, so it will be found to be very impressive. *We can't...

    Who will win Super Bowl XL?

    Re: Sorry, but some 'conspiracy' was afoot to hand this over to the Steelers... http://www.superbowl.com/gamecenter/recap/NFL_20060205_SEA@PIT Go there to see the stats that SEA had won. SEA *Won the turnover battle. *Won the time of possession battle. *Won the yardage battle...

    Fat, Burning, and Physiology.

    [No scientific basis, YET***] Losing or gaining size is firstly a function of intake (or lack thereof) of calories. The less calories to pass into the body, weight loss occurs. The more calories to pass into the body, the more gain that occurs. Obviously, in earlier years of life, food...

    Who will win Super Bowl XL?

    Re: How do you underrate a team that had the cakest schedule next to those already sent home? Arizona, San Francisco, Houston, and St Louis dominated their schedule. And those teams will get picks this year in side the top10 because they were sent home early. On the other hand, Pitt won...

    Why are guys buying into Hollywood fairy tales?

    Re: That wasn't the intention, examples, legolas, that's all, of illusions. Screws loose. I'll buy it. But I wouldn't make declarations of knowledge without having an up and close information to the source. I just find that to be the typical reponse to 'controversial' topics. That said...

    Life after death.

    Re: Your response is well written, but what prompted me to re-write was the combative stance I noticed, essentially trying to blow what you could deem I "believe" in live. Problem is Believe is only created by the world Belie, which is a pack of lies. So belief isn't what it is...it's KNOWING...

    Why are guys buying into Hollywood fairy tales?

    Re: Think of a gigantic Titanic ship. It requires MASSIVE manpower. All men are NOT born equal. Not all things are equal. But so what? You work to make of you what you will. Initially, it was beneficial that the small town farmer, became an industrialized robot for the throngs of mass...

    Life after death.

    Re: Mere tricks and tomfoolery. I wouldn't begrudge anyone's belief system, but trying to thrust it through the analytical/logical ringer is asking for trouble. The rational/analytic deals in the physical, what we can abley comprehend here and now. Of course, each person has varying degrees...

    The Social Matching Theory

    Re: Social Matching aside, which to me, in the days before 'society', mass interconnectivity, and the media, you had no reflecting mirror. There wasn't an ideal. Improvement of one's physicalities was minimal at best, compared to present times. Furthermore, the only reflecting pool was your own...
