    I've lost the will to live

    Do shit. It's a really tough way to look at it, but when I was coming to terms with how crap life can be (something like 6 years ago) my Dad just said "Yea...that's too fuckin bad." There's no such thing as a 'bad time' or 'dark time', it's a location. A place where your life's at. Very...

    Victim of a failed mugging, looking for Options for learning self defense.

    You're both right. Pistols are fantastic, but fall into the same category as bladed weapons for self defense. Most knife injuries are caused by the dude who brought them. I would teach people "Carry a knife, sure, but you need to be skilled enough not to lose it and you need to be mentally...

    Victim of a failed mugging, looking for Options for learning self defense.

    Well, I only have 3 things to say. 1. Any martial art or fighting system will do if you're good enough. If you strictly want self defense applications, pick kung fu (or another oriental art) and study it like a psychopath so you don't get killed, or pick a military art. Combatives, Krav Maga...

    Poll: Are you happy?

    Interesting question. I shouldn't be. I have every reason not to be. A woman I thoroughly dislike is dating a good mate, I'll be putting down 2 of my 3 dogs in a couple days time - who I've had for 14 years. I'm not on speaking terms with anybody on my mother's side of the family, 4 people...

    A twist on the old "sex change" thread

    Well, I'm a p.o.s heterosexual male. So at first glance, if it hadn't sunk in who they were - I'd imagine a violent response. If it is immediately noticeable, the conversation would probably go something like "Make yourself a cup of coffee, and get the fuck out of my house." 3 months later...

    Advice for broken hearts

    My long time girlfriend of 3 years and I broke up December last year. I dealt with that pain by drinking copiously, buying a couple 8balls and getting into not one, but TWO street fights. Then when I 'got over it' in January, I sleazed my way around till April. Fell in love with who I...

    Poll: Do You Date?

    Since I got back into Uni in July, end of July/early August, till last week, I've had something like 12 or 13 dates across 8 different women.. Never worked out for one reason or another. I didn't flinch when a dog got hit by a car and was ripped in half...or the woman I was seeing had a...

    Poll: Do you buy videogames to be part of the crowd?

    I don't buy games. I don't think I've bought a game since Mass Effect 3 was released. Mates shaft me games if I really 'need' to play something...and then it takes me up to 6 months to get round to playing it. I got given GTA V yesterday, which was shafted.... and I got bored 5 hours in. I...

    Poll: You find 40 thousand dollars ?

    I'd keep it. Spend realistically 3-4g and save the rest. Easy.

    Don't hit a girl?

    Fought 2 women in my entire life. One was my ex, who I was dating at the time, who had experience street fighting. The other, I was being paid to fight...and if I stood in the arena and opted for minimal force, I'd be missing my shoulder joints. Women can strike just as hard as men...

    Poll: If all drugs were legal...

    As Mitch Hedberg said "I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to too." Had friends who were junkies, if I wanted - I'd just take or buy. Decriminalization doesn't affect me. Given my training however, University study, and recent issues with the police in the family over the last year...

    Poll: Do You Believe In Karma?

    Yea I do. "everything has it's place" No matter how great or how horrific. Yea, that includes Hitler, Mao and blah blah blah. Anyone who assumes an 'order' of any kind doesn't exist simply because they can't understand it or fathom a notion of something better/greater than them, I consider...

    Poll: A question for the guys . Sex on the first date, Yay or nay?

    Given I'm the sort to prefer fuck-buddies as first preference, and one night stands as second, if I had to choose between 'relationship', 'relationship of just sex' and 'one off sex'... yea, definitely. I'll take first date sex. Between my sex drive and my difficulty in deep, emotionally...

    Tap water , do you drink it?

    Yup. I'll drink tap water, bottled water. whatever. The tasted never really got in the way. I drink water because I don't feel thirsty afterwards, and because I need to... and the whole Water is healthy. To be fair I also don't pay attention that much to the taste of food either. For...

    What was the last movie you watched, and did you enjoy it?

    Rambo: First Blood. Given I was raised on action films from the 60's-90's... I thought it was stellar. and I can also tell the next 8 movies I'll be watching. All of them, Rambo: First Blood. Core text for University Unit. -.- "Academic Writing and Critical Thought".
