I do not believe in anything being predetermined. I see no reason to believe in it and if such a thing existed, it would seem extremely flawed to me. Are everyone's abilities put to maximum use? I doubt it.
Garbage --- Vow
Yes, a conservative point of view. I thought as much. Well, pornography isn't my field of expertise but I do think that most or at least a lot of mainstream porn is made and sold by professionals. It is, to them, a profession like any other and there is no proven or even logical link between these people and drug dealers. Of course, there are probably a lot of scams hidden between honest porn dealers too, but that's nothing new and is abundant in other media as well. There are of course many illegal practices in the porn industry: illegal categories such as child porn and bestiality, extortion, bootlegs and other forms of piracy etc. But it'd be wrong to accuse everyone who makes pornography of such transgressions.
Well, if it's your studying direction that you're unsure of, the only advice I can give you is to choose a field you're actually interested in. Don't look at what's most popular or how many of your friends are going to be doing it. If you head in a direction you don't really care for you'll start feeling ****** somewhere halfway through. If you already knew this or if it's irrelevant, sorry but that's all I can say. If you're going to have to make new friends anyway, and believe me you will, you might as well make friends who show no interest in those things anyway. In that case, you don't have to say no. Sounds easier than it is, but that's the trick to it. First of all, I'm sorry for your loss. They wouldn't have wanted you to worry beforehand, which shows just how much they loved you. Whether that was the actual best decision no one can say, but it was their wish and that should be respected. Your sister doesn't mean the things she said. She was consumed by the emotion of the moment, and she says things she probably regrets now. We all say stupid things like that sometimes. As for your parents, your father wanting to make the best out of things shows that he still cares for your mother's happiness and that he still loves her. He may want to give your mom some time though. You should try to think about the future when you feel you can handle it. You may want to "prepare" your moments or at least be selective about them. Take a hot bath or something else that relaxes you. A lot of people here on KHV do support you, including me. We're here to listen and to give you a push when you feel you need one. If it helps, I don't think you're a bad person, and I thinks many others here feel the same way. Well your friends are entitled to their opinions about things you like too. Personally I'd rather they say it out loud. It's unfortunate that they don't like the things you do but maybe it's the other way around as well. Maybe you're not really interested in what they care for either. It happens. As for your grandparents, you should continue to emphasize that you don't appreciate your friends talking about them. That's all I can think of. And you should probably mention them as few times as possible. Since you're going to high school, you can almost start with a clean slate. You'll have the opportunity to make new friends who stay true to you. I'd seize that chance.
I am very intolerant of religion in general and am not above showing it. This goes for other non-religious matters as well though. Everyone thinks his/her own opinions are the best (why else would they have them?) and I fail to see the reason for hiding it.
Not true, at least not where I live. Trust me on that.
If Cupcake wins we should change the award title to Hottest Whale Member. /spitting on the banned
People should stop taking common expressions so literally... But fine, I'll defend my case. Not really. I give What? a lot of credit for being so smart at his age, I really do, but while he has a vast amount of knowledge, his wisdom of experience pales in comparison to Repliku's. It's only natural of course, when you do compare their ages. Repliku has seen more, heard more and done more. It is unfortunate for What? that I deem such wisdom the most useful and the most contributing to general intelligence. Not saying that What? doesn't have any wisdom, on the contrary I believe he's a suitable runner-up in that area on itself, but Repliku does outclass him in it. As he does with everyone else in this poll. And last but not least Repliku's knowledge in different fields is worthy of mention too.
Repliku is more intelligent than all the others put together.
Where's gintas, guys? Anyway, I voted for Absol, with CtR being a very close second but we still talk so yeah.
Cupcake all the way.
TwilightNight because I was indecisive and I considered her as an underdog of sorts compared to Repliku and Mike.
As long as Jiku Neon doesn't kill everyone who voted for her... I would have nominated you, if I hadn't forgot all about nominating altogether. Oh, and don't worry. I didn't get nominated either. Figures when the last time I updated any story was somewhere last year. :D Not that I expected a nomination if I had.
This has Dalk's name on it...
What? already won last year, so this time I hope The Fuk? wins it for a laugh.
Butts. Just butts.
I like Cocohints' work best.
Dalk (darkrequiem0). Absol has been too inactive to be the de facto Biggest Spammer.
The Graceful Assassin is the only one who has changed significantly enough to qualify for my vote in my opinion.
TheMuffinMan got my vote, but Atlas would be a suitable replacement.
