First, who the hell hates Richard Dawkins but theists and idiots who try to reconcile science with religion to pander to theists.

I've read the God Delusion and the Greatest Show on Earth and both were good reads. I've heard very good things of his other books. Also, he is pretty well liked among atheists. He wouldn't be popular if he weren't. Its not like he has a market outside this one group. He is also a pretty nice guy. Though recently some deal with the forums on the richard dawkins foundation site turned a bunch of forum posters into a group of rabid dawkins haters, so maybe now that isn't as true.

Second, if you want to convert just start reading and start to think critically. The God Delusion is a great book. Its all kind pointless if you aren't open to the idea. If you keep your mind wrapped around religion, you aren't going to get converted. The fact you said "I figure it's better that I do this instead of somebody else." reeks of I want to be a martyr. Weird kind of martyrdom though.

I'd say a very important part of modern science is understanding that things cannot be proven 100%, and thus accepting there might be a better explanation than the one you are currently using. There will always be some unknowns influencing whatever you are looking at, or the possibility that previous researchers overlooked something or made mistakes. Scientists shouldn't use words like 'proven', 'facts' or 'believing in science/theory/...', because it also implies a blind faith, but now in the infallibility of science.

Unfortunately some people try to use this to their advantage and say things like: 'evolution is only a theory', not understanding that it's an extremely solid theory with immense amounts of evidence supporting it, which you just can't put aside as 'another' theory.

In which, you would end up believing in nothing.

>>278
Well yes, because 'beliefs' have no place in science. In science you just use knowledge without believing in it. You use what you think it most likely, but always remember that it might not be correct.
Obviously in actual life you still assume some things to be true simply because it's not possible to test everything yourself, and it helps us function in life more easily.

But the important thing here is realizing that once you reach a certain independence you have the ability to understand why you have certain beliefs and understanding you can stop clinging to these beliefs if you realize that many of them make no sense at all. If letting go of a belief scares you, I suppose you can just continue believing in whatever your parents taught you. But I think if you do that you will never grow up to be a matured modern human.

i love how when males want to commit suicide everyone encourages them to do it but when someone says they are a female it turns into a hug circle.

>>244
I dunno. I don't think the people actually posting advice would do much differently if the OP was male. It's just that some lonely trolls would come out of the woodworks to post 'encouragements'.

You don't want to commit suicide because if you wanted to you would have done it a long time ago. You just want the attention that comes with saying it because you actually want to change yourself but don't know how. Go see a psychologist.
If you want to die, overdosing on anesthetics or carbon monoxide poisoning is the way to go. If you want to make a shitty mess make your own explosives and tape a lot of them to your head and belly, instant death, shitty mess.

Your problems seem treatable. I think you could get through it with a good therapist. I know you probably don't have money, but there are free services.

You said you're transgendered, and BC fucks you up -- are you taking any hormones because of your situation? Hormones might be contributing to making you suicidal.

Im guessing you would want to keep living if you could get over your issues down there. You can ditch the family (Its doable. I did it. Have a good paying job and am putting myself through college, though I probably will /wrist before I finish cause my major problems aren't the kind that CAN get better).

Keep living if you can. If not, don't do the bridge way. Someone could drown trying to save you.

Hope you figure out what you need for yourself to be at peace.

Trying to commit suicide makes you a pussy and a faggot. Butif you want to make it look like murder here's what you do.
Freeze the handle of a knife into a large block of ice. Turn the heat on high so the ice will melt after you die. Get on a chair and fall backwards onto the knife. (You might not die right away) The Ice will shatter and melt from the heat on high and you will have created the illusion of being murdered.

Thoughts are just thoughts, they don't hurt anyone as long as you don't turn negative ones into actions. It seems you've managed at least that, even though odds are obviously stacked against you. Not much else I can tell you, other than that (despite what TV and internet might tell) it's not that uncommon to be a virgin at 23. Sex (by itself) is overrated anyway... it's a good feeling, but don't expect sex (and relationships) to cure you of your depression.

>>268
Your homosexuality is caused by not having a true personal relationship with him. There are 2 options
earn enough money and travel back to your old country and 1) spend real time with him.

2) Get revenge (not murder, just try and beat him to an inch of his life, First take advanced kicboxing) Then rape your closest sibling. Then live in Florida and change your identity.

>>272
Human Papillomavirus, which can cause cervical cancer and warts/skin tags is a possibility. Herpes or another STD is also a possibility. Google Human Papillomavirus and view some of the images to compare, if you like. My recommendation would be to talk to your doctor and possibly ask for a referral to a dermatologist.

I dunno OP, sounds to me like you are just making excuse for your attraction to girls that age. Lots of guys aren't sexually active (with girls) at that age and don't do so until around 17/18. What exactly did you feel you miss out on when you were younger and why your specific interest in 14 year olds?

Anyway, not trying to say that your attraction is inheritably wrong, because you can't really help it, not to mention many 14 year olds can bear children so it makes biological sense. But even if the girl consents, the law (depending on where you live) probably thinks it's rape anyway (for good reason I think). And you will look like a creep, no matter what you do.

Just find a young looking 18 year old, that way you won't get into trouble with the law and it's probably best to let 14 year olds be with guys their own age...

I too have urges for the younger flesh. I'm attracted to girls from age 7 on up to 40s (its RARE really fucking rare, but that was the youngest I ever found sexually attractive -- couldve been the age was off? Or I'm just a pedo -- oops!). I really seem to like 11-15 year olds. I like just before and just through puberty.

My advice -- don't download CP. Don't even THINK of touching a girl. Its not worth the shame. I don't know what causes us to be the way we are, but you can get help. Find a therapist who specilizes in sexual issues. They WILL NOT judge you. They deal with it all the time. 14 year olds ARE NOT capable of having an adult relationship. Hell, the vast majority of 19 year olds aren't. Adult relationship = sex. She's going to tell someone. They will tell someone. You will get caught.

Also, you might feel guilt and shame afterwards.

Watch Hard Candy. It might be enough to scare you off fucking a 14 year old (though I'd molest Ellen Paige anytime she wanted!)

You could have sexual developmental issues. Its not uncommon. There is treatment other than chemical castration. You can have a normal sex life one day.

good luck dude.

>>253

I remember seeing Ellen Page years ago in Trailer Park Boys when she was 16 but looked 12 at the most. She sure has changed since those days of doing peperoni runs for drug dealers. xD

>_> just go see a psychiatrist. If you want it done legally and with out any one else finding out, thats the way to go. The person will help you get over it and do it safely lol.

>>167

But... you are a creep. The issue isn't even cultural, it's psychological.

Consider their aversion to any advances a defensive mechanism and get some help.

Perfectionists r hard to please. Everything in their mindset has to be placed, done and perceived in their mind to be done as a daily ritual. That being said ...it doesn't help that she/he looks for outside visual stimulae w/computer or TV. That is now a VICE in life.
As re#148 > I agree.

Ive been in a similar situation as you OP. My life felt so overwhelming and it was just day after day of stress&anxiety. I just had to take a step to think about what is the problem and just work on the problem step by step.
Working out and meditating or doing hobbies made me feel better as well. Good luck

Fuck those assholes.

You need to take care of you.

Start eating more. Start strength training (real strength training with free weights. Start with just the bar. Get Starting Strength 2 and Practical Programming by Mark Ripptoe.) Learn to fucking squat like a man. In a month you can put on like 15 lbs with about 3-6 lbs of it being muscle (maybe more if you are genetically inclined).

Start standing up to that piece of pussy you call a girlfriend. She's a hole for your penis. Nothing more. Don't let her control you. Next time she starts barking at you, tell the bitch to calm the fuck down. Speak in a commanding voice. If she persists, shut her out. Walk away and go watch TV. Never apologize. Start taking control. Ravish her one night (if she says stop, call her a bore, don't rape her. but be very aggressive and commanding. Women LOVE it almost as much as they love a man with confidence.)

If you keep acting like a pussy she's gonna fuck other guys behind your back (if she isn't already). You need to assert your dominance. Women have evolved to find that attractive in a man. Thats why douchebags get girls.

Next time your roommate starts to take you for granted, again, in a commanding tone tell him to fucking do his share. (It helps if you've been lifting a bit before this, even 3 weeks will have given you LOADS more strength. Gain in the beginning are fucking ridiculous).

The key is to do strength training .you don't need to get HUGE. You can build up a lean strong Greek ideal body.

Don't let your dick warmer control you anymore. She's a cum receptacle. Treat her like she's not even worthy of that.

I fucken LOVE you. Also because the same strategy (perhaps not-so-extreme because my situation WAS not-so-extreme) worked for me.

In words trolls will understand: Do it faggot.

You have to remember, if you don't take care of yourself, who is going to take care of "them"(the ones you care about) when something happens to you?

For girls like these you do this-

1. Talk to them and tell her exactly the shit you're saying here.

then

2. Do what 254 says.

You can't just let others run your life by causing you to be unhappy and happy when they feel like it and doing what they want you to do.

I had a girl like this before, but I set her straight. I talked to her and told her if she doesn't fucking get her act straight then it's over.

Guess what? She cared enough to change FOR ME and FOR US. We are going on for almost 4 years now.

You should be banned just for bumping this old worthless piece of crap thread to begin with, you deep-sea dipshit.

>>212
i usually don't support banning people, but i make an exception for posters like you

>>213
Usually I'd agree with you, but I think he redeemed himself with the phrase "deep-sea dipshit"

>>214
It transcends a simple case of redemption and calls for a reverse ban of >>213. A ban I say, hencewith.

>>217
The use of terminology such as "hencewith", is deemed to be very ban-worthy.

full albums on bittorrent nub

youtube convert rare singles

df

use ares p2p, I do...

yep, the answer here is bittorrent, and you dont have to download the full albums, most torrents let you pick what files you want. unlike the peer to peer stuff you get torrents from online sites and download them thru the bittorrent program. btjunkie and isohunt are good sites to search things on. torrents work and their a helluvalot faster than fuckin limewire n shit like that... any questions?

dc++, upload sites search engines, torrent and select the files you only want

Just continue working Indy promotions until you get to a promotion such as Ring of Honor. Then you'll most likely be a name and get signed to either TNA or WWE.

>>112

You're right, he isn't exactly spot-on with his statement...

Fact of the matter is, most college graduates are just as much slaves to the system as the next McDonalds worker.

It's all about choosing your own path and breaking out of the rat race. People can do that in a variety of ways, but those who have the ability and will to do so can get a head start if they skip the extra years in the education system.

>>112
>>115
where was it mentioned in >>110 that either path would escape the daily grind of work enslavement? its simply to put into perspective how society values different paths and professions, even though the time spent working is the same but the earnings are markedly different.

i don't give a shit if someone spends their life backpacking across the world, that doesn't make them any more intrinsically inferior to someone with 3 vacation houses if they're doing what they love.

Money can't buy you happiness :)

shoot yourself in the face with a 12 gauge. Report back on how it went, any changes in your life, etc.

t-shirts, blogs, e-books, art prints

what's your startup money?

only a stock that posts a dividend on a regular basis could be considered income... otherwise capital gains on selling stock can hardly be predicted. The statement, "Past Performance is No Guarantee of Future Results", is no joke. While the 30-50 year average for stocks might be 6 percent per annum, it is quite possible to buy and have the market value reduced by 50% and not even break even after ten years. For example, you could have paid $140/share for RIMM (Research In Motion - the company that makes the Blackberry Phones) last year and today the stock is worth $64.

Electric and other utility companies tend to have very modest growth but pay dividends in the 4-8%

Thanks for the answers -- these all sound like great ideas.

On the investment front, I'm meeting with a financial consultant from my bank on Wednesday. I'll trust some money to him/her and keep some to invest myself.

The real estate idea is a good one, but it sounds time consuming. I've always had an interest in stock trading, but (partly due to my parents being against it, they wouldn't let me buy Google when it went public, major wtf) never really committed to getting started.

Does anyone have personal experience with any stock trading sites? There are a lot to choose from. Based on my research, I'm leaning towards Zecco, Scottrade, TradeKing, or thinkorswim.

>>190
This is actually the kind of stuff I had in mind when I posted the question, even though it's probably not as important as traditional investing. It was prompted when I came across Steve Pavlina's blog.

I could set aside maybe a few hundred dollars (per endeavor) for something like that, but my main problem is coming up with ideas. I doubt anything I could write about would have wide enough appeal to turn into a successful blog, for example. I'd love any ideas on this front.

Thanks again for the responses.

http://www.investopedia.com/university/buildingblocks.asp - this is a nice place to start OP

as for the "passive income", http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/compounding.asp

Americans...always looking for the "easy money". Sitting on your asses and moving numbers from A to B by clicking with your mouse, and expecting a nice "return" while contributing absolutely nothing to society or the world (except in the way that a parasite contributes). Have to admit I'm glad that I seem to be around long enough at least to see the worthless lot of you get buried beneath your collective greed (and if you're stupid enough not to be aware that that's happening yet, you will shortly). Goldman isn't the main problem...just the symptom of a generally sick society.

You're absolutely right! It does go back to something.

Part of it probably goes back to the years i was in highschool, being constantly rejected by girls, I just gave UP on them for myself.

But most of it is this: A while back, I used to know how to hack webcams. When girls would go on cam for a guy, I would hack in it and watch them either strip or masturbate for that guy, and they didn't know i was watching. I got off to this more than anything - there is something hot and sexy about being a voyeur. There's something hot about seeing what's meant to be unseen.


Well, years passed, and computers got updated, and hacking was much harder - now I can't hack webcams anymore, so for a while I was going out of my mind. I KNEW camshows were going on, and I couldn't watch them. I didn't even want them for myself. I wanted to be able to watch while the girl was doing it for someone else. Now, I no longer could. So it eventually led to this dilemma: I told girls to show for other guys, without me watching. And I would get off to it. This time I really couldn't watch it, but just KNOWING the girl was showing for someone was enough to get me off. It was the closest thing to remind me of when I used to be able to hack cams.

So currently, I live with my roommate and she's female, and I enjoy listening to her have sex with her bf (our rooms are right next to each other) when she doesn't think im home.

That is totally awesome, thanks for replying back and explaining it more.

Also, now that you explain it a bit, I can see why you get off on it.

I have a voyeurism kink. Nothing outrageous, but whenever I'm out somewhere I try to pick the seat that'll give me the best view of chicks that might be there. It started when I was young, probably 8 or so (yeah, I was a horny fucker). My bedroom looked out over the neighbour's pool and their daughter had nice tits. I used to jack off standing at my window while she was swimming or sunning. Her mom was hot too, even bigger tits...it was a good place to grow up!

I have a similiar kink. Watching bodies going over into a pool, or trying to find the best show in public. Listening to friends fucking between doors. Voyuerism is great in every way.

I've had several calls of friends and family and neighbours stripping it off at night. Those images through lit windows serve me well.

My GF gets annoyed, aroused, frustrated, when she has to listen to her roommates having sex. I find it amusing.

>>199
Something tells anon your relationship won't turn out to have much staying power.

>>116
Plus you're grounded.

Would you insensitive thread-hijacking clods please get back to my clothing emergency? It's urgent, I have a blind date this weekend and I certainly can't go in my Dockers and football jersey, can I!

Pic is me sad! Bastards!

>>124

If this pic is really you, why not try fixing the MAJOR eyeshadow application errors before you worry about how big your boobies look?

And I'm not even trying to troll with this post. I'm dead serious.

>>128
I refute your claim.

WTF happened with this in the end? Good/bad/indifferent trapping? Dirty sex in the alleyway or frustrated weeping into a pint of Guinness?

Maybe this 34b does fantastic oral?
I'd want to know.
I'm often surprised at the difference between what I think I want and what I enjoy the most.

Choice clear for me...

@ least hit it and quit it IMO, bitch could be a massive freak.

How is this even a problem? Two girls in a matter of a week. If the tit size is really going to be that much of an issue, stuff her bra or take her doggy style.

>>203

Niggas, troll thread, etc

yeah, it's called photoshop

i was wondering where that board went. i checked zip, img, cgi, etc and nothing.

looks like they'll have to be assimilated back into r9k, which is fitting though unfortunate. r9k is horrible.

Fuck you, fuck moot, and most importantly of all, fuck you. There's your lifetime's tidbit of advice.

Who? I've only heard of Lilith (who was Eve's bad girl counterpart).

No! Stick to the Genesis, there were only two.

Once I asked this question to one of them as a child would ask and he told me that "...given the cisctuntances in this case incest was alright..."

>>181
there's a whole world of mythology outside of genesis, such as a battle fought between heaven and hell on earth's soil. i wish i knew where these stories came from, though.

These "extra" stories come from the apocrypha, which are non-canonical books which catholics include with the rest of the bible.

The reason incest was ok at the time was because it happened chronologically before moses received the 10 commandments. At that time there was only 1 rule: "don't eat this fruit -- it's mine." Or, i paraphrase: sex = good, fruit = bad. Long story short, they chose the fruit, and hilarity ensued.

I run into this problem all the time. I think it has less to do with a problem on your end then it does with Stickam being a shitty site. The ads are more annoying then anything especially that goddamn Timbaland one. Usually if the cam wont load one way try another like opening up their profile page and clicking the cam icon.
