Once upon a time it was a fact the Earth was flat, once upon a time people thought that one element couldn't become another one, plants "ate" soil etc.
None of those were ever facts. Those were assumptions. Scientific study proved otherwise.


They were facts at the time, people thought that these were proven even though their science wasn't quite correct. Actually in science research we don't use the term fact very much. In science we tend to use the term theory for wiggle room in case the future proves something different. Cell Theory has been proven true time and time again, yet we don't say it is fact we still call it theory. There's a difference between scientific usage of fact and theory and laymans usage of the terms.

but you cant make someone change there mind based on facts always
Listen, if facts aren't enough to change someone's mind, then they are to be distrusted and dismissed; facts are exactly that. Everyone's got an opinion, but facts don't change. If they are guiding their life strictly by emotion or opinion, they are not someone I care to share much time with.


Many "facts" are open to interpretation, further study, and sometimes change. Once upon a time it was a fact the Earth was flat, once upon a time people thought that one element couldn't become another one, plants "ate" soil etc.

The way to a man's stomach is the cardiac sphincter unless you're shoving the food up his arse, then it'd be the pyloric sphincter.

Simple. I get an idea, I start working with that idea, and I come to my own conclusion (not based on the other person's view)
Like, for instance, the idea that marijuana has no adverse affect on you? Or the idea that the government created the illegal drug trade?


Well, obviously the government created the illegal drug trade. MJ didn't used to be illegal so the trade of it wouldn't be illegal either, as soon as the government passed a law prohibiting it that trade would now be illegal...thus creating the illegal drug trade.

I used to smoke a lot of pot, I quit last year. I'm not really against it but I just didn't want to keep spending money on it. I don't think that MJ makes you dumb or retards your brain to any large degree. I used to smoke daily in college and scored somewhere in the top 85th percentile on my MCATs. I've smoked daily for about 8-9 years and I still score about the same on IQ tests as I did before I smoked pot. I don't feel like I retain any less information or that I have a harder time grasping things than I used to.

I'm more opposed to the lack of studies on the medicinal effects that THC might have than the legality or illegality of it. Recent studies done by Harvards division of experimental medicine have shown that cannabinoids found in pot decreased lung tumors in mice by up to 50% and severely inhibited it's ability to metastisize. There have also been similar studies done showing that cannabinoids inhibit angiogenesis of tumors in glioblastoma which is one of the most aggresive forms of brain cancer. Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels to feed cancerous cells, by inhibiting this you starve cancer cells. These studies have been peer reviewed and published.

Just because a lot of irresponsible idiots might smoke pot doesn't mean that pot made them idiots or irresponsible. I always did all my school work and waited till I was done with work before sparking up.

The thing I hate about match and to a lesser degree this site is that on searches your headlines don't appear in it's entirety. On match you're relegated to 22 characters which includes spaces. On this site they don't show up at all in search and only 18 characters show up in mutual. I don't mind here so much cause there's also a forum to get known but in the end you get looked at or clicked on mainly for your picture.

so number 6 ends up being

Cooler than a cybernet... when viewed from a match search. So there is something to be said for trying to make your headline fit depending on how searches are done.

Well i don't smoke maijuana but for the person said it's illegal.yes it is in alot of states .but it is also prescribed for people with pain (chronic that is)andglaucoma as well as a few other mnedical comnditions.So its regulated and controlled the same as other medications.In california as well as other various states you can go tpo a cafe and legallybuy and smoke it.Ttthier are many pros and cons to any drug including alcohol and ciggarettes.I do dissagree with the almost eventual smoker who started this thread in a few way,but won't get into them.I'd rather not get into a long moral and ethical as well as legality debate on the subject.TRhier are people guy that won't date those that drink,smoke are arent thier own color ,age or religion.The point being it is thier choice and thier life.So if some one doesn't want to date you because of your pot smoking,then your not compatible and move on.anyway just a opinion.bigsmile


Actually it's illegal in all states. There's a lot of debate about this issue of state and federal jurisdiction but drug laws do fall under federal guidelines. Some states may ignore it but the feds can still take away med users, they just don't really bother with small amounts.

shoot! i know #2 is the ACTUAL CODE to one game or another, but i can't recall what it was.... i have entered that code way too many times in my day, i just can't recall to get what!


It's the konami code, several games used this back in the day of the original NES. Contra was one of them.

Iconic, I'm going back and forth from 3 and 6.

I've been thinking about rewriting this thing for awhile now and instead of the same ole "check out my profile" thread which makes me feel like someone is trying to up their profile view numbers I figured I'd just post it here and see what others think. it's really for another site but I figured I'd get suggestions here.

Some headlines I'm thinking of using
1.Don't Tase me Bro
2.up up down down left right left right B, A
3.Body by Nintendo, Brain by Smirnoff, Dance by US Robotics
4.I love smartly done stupid humor
5.Just like a Platypus
6.Cooler than a cybernetic ninja pirate
(I'm thinking of using number 3)

Profile:
I like sneaking up on people taking long walks on the beach and shoving them into the water. I hate fun, whenever I find myself having a good time I punch myself in the groin. I'd also like to take this moment to remind people who are looking for their princes and princesses that we live in a democratic republic with elected officials. I'm not a glass half full kinda guy, you shouldn't date these jerks. I would top off your glass. I'm a tad impish, a touch puckish, a bit of mischief with a second helping of sarcastic.

No, I don't meet that arbitrary 6' tall height requirement that every female online dater sets, I'm 5'7 but if we go out, I promise to bring along my pogo stick so I'd be at least 6'4 50% of the time. I am employed, independent, and motivated to craft a life that is financially stable, personally fulfilling, and overflowing with laughter.

I'm a notorious do-gooder I steal one sock from each dryer at the local laundromats to ensure that people can pair up all their socks, I hold open doors when people are just far enough away to make feel guilty and start hurrying. I'm the kind of guy who'd stick a quarter in an expiring meter to save a stranger a large fine, or doggie bag my leftovers to give to a homeless guy. I strongly believe in having a sense of honor, and integrity and feel these ideals just aren't mentioned enough these days. There are more important things out there than material goods, and celebrity gossip.

My predilection towards Seinfeld has led me to celebrate festivus, which requires me to air my grivences and then wrestle my surprised dinner guests to the ground. I love comedies along the lines of Adam Sandler movies, Dave Chapelle stand up, and Family Guy. I also like cartoon art, dancing like a robot, eating sushi and dimsum, old school nintendo and new school basketweaving.

Looking for my vigilante sidekick to team up with and bring all these people who are looking for their partners in crime to justice, as an added bonus capes are more fun than ski masks. Should be someone who can be silly, goofy, cuddly, warm, sarcastic and witty. Intellectual, independent and a fully functional circulatory system would be nice as well. If you fit the above I'll overlook the lack of super speed or telekinesis. I'm thinking of checking out the Philadelphia Zoo sometime in the near future so if you'd like to go drop me a line. We can go round up criminals afterwards.


Any constructive criticism is welcome.

Maybe its just like (some) women don't like auto part stores...

IDK... huh



Pretty much. I'm not saying that liking jewelry is bad. Most guys don't wear much jewelry and so they aren't particularly enthusiastic about going into a jewelry store. However if a lady has a thing for mohawks I think I know a guy who'd love to go jewelry shopping with the ladies here. Except you might have to quit yer jibba jabba first.

I'm just making the point that there are 2 ways to satisfy your material wants. Buy things you want, or desire fewer material things. I think people get too caught up in wanting things. I used to subscribe to video game magazines and I'd buy a new game like once a month, once I stopped paying attention to the ads and game reviews I bought far fewer games, like maybe 1-2 a year. I used to have a subscription to maxim and mens health and I'd want all those nice clothes, now that I don't read those mags I find that I don't even care to have those things.

If I want something, I wait a few days, if I still really want something then maybe I'll go buy it, usually after the initial impulse is over I end up not even caring that much. I used to shop all the time and I'm just learning how to rehab from it.

there's only been 2 stages in the relationships i've had


1.meeting her

2."You suck!" "well f*** you too!"


You forgot the restraining order stage. What better way to bring closure to the fiasco than have it be ordered by a court appointed judge and a brigade of armed cops.

Yeah I understand Taiwanese but can't speak it. I speak a little more mandarin but don't understand it as well as Taiwanese. I'm all sorts of messed up.

I spent a little bit of time in Mexico before and the phrases I needed most were

Mas despacio por favor. (slower please) people talk too fast for me to try to keep up.

Donde esta el bano? (where's the bathroom)

and

Chupe mi verga puto! someone told me this meant "hi nice to meet you pretty lady" but I ended up getting slapped a lot so I'm not sure if it's right laugh

I was talking with a friend earlier and he suggested something to me that I found kind of distressing, but which DID offer some insight into some observable phenomena. His suggestion was that cultural and social effects aside, on a very primitive level, women are attracted to men who are sexually aggressive and dominant. This goes even further than the usual suggestion for men to be confident and assertive.


PUA's call it "going caveman". When all else fails, just go for it. (I'm not saying I agree with it. Just saying that's what some PUA's do)


A-holes don't get girls because they are a-holes, they get them cause they're ballsy enough to ask girls out and if rejected they ask someone else out. "nice" guys or rather "shy" guys don't, one can't get something if they don't pursue it.


laugh Actually, that's not always true. I know a guy who asks out literally every girl that will talk to him for longer than 5 minutes. He's only had 2 g/f's ever. And his 2nd one was actually the friend of another girl he asked out. But because the first girl turned him down, he settled for her friend. I'm just saying, being "ballsy enough" to ask a girl out doesn't always work that great either.


Hey it works better than staring at her while playing out the entirety of your conversation with her in your head assuming you have the jedi mind powers to project those thoughts to her. Then watching her ask her friends why that weird dude is staring at her.

"I'm a fun person who loves to have fun" (the entirety of a profile I saw) tells me that the person is redundant. And likes to have fun. Whatever they mean by "fun."

When the only thing in the profile is "Anything you want to know, you'll have to ask," I know I don't really want to know all that badly.

"You know you want me" tells me I don't.

"No game players" tells me she is using the same "How to Write Dating Site Profiles" book as 249,473 other people on this site.










Hey I wrote that book, I meant it to be sarcastic but nobody realized it:

If I judged other's by their profile, then I'd have to conclude that practically everyone here is, "laid-back, easygoing, and likes to have fun." That seems to be a common theme.

IMO, you have to chat and read forum posts to gain a better idea about someone.


Don't forget they like restaurants, music and movies. Without any clarification of what genres or types. They also like to go out but also stay in sometimes. Everyone has a great sense of humor according to themselves and is looking for someone honest, thoughful and funny. (except me, I want someone moronic, bellicose, and boring with homicidal tendencies.)

I'm trying to get back into shape...like a good shape not the blobby oval one I'm in right now lol.

Be more outgoing especially where females are concerned.

Get back in touch with old friends I haven't heard from in awhile.

But the major change I'm looking at is volunteering a lot more and trying to divorce myself from so many material wants in my life.

Here is a deeper look into a profile. Share some things that really set apart from other profiles.

For me, I can usually tell if a person is narcissistic (conceited) when they brag about how exceptionally hot they are or what they have or actually list out where they have been.

Also, for me I can usually tell their confidence level by the number of pictures they have. While this isn't true for all.

What are your views on some of the profiles you have seen.


So you can tell that someone is narcissistic when they act in a narcissistic manner and brag about themselves....novel.

can you tell I'm a smart ass lol. laugh
