    Satire is the art of poking fun at accepted rhetoric.

    If you're in the wrong Star Wars queue, don't admit it here.

    Droxford I had to laugh at your advice because its so true.

    I addressed this one and I think the motto should be:

    Live each day like it was your last but keep in mind that you'll probably still be alive to deal with the consequences.

    It's fun to take generalites and break them down into specifics!! Woohoo!!

    I'm pretty sure Falcons Talon isn't not compromising in his relationships and that RMTex isn't blowing his paycheck on fast cars and loose women because he may die tomorrow. Well, maybe loose women. That doesn't mean either of their pieces of advice don't have some merit to them.

    If your aunt had testicles, she would be your uncle.

    Never... EVER... tell your female friends the secrets of men and how we operate on an everyday basis.

    an optimist is just a pessimistic pessimist.

    droxford, I'm worried about you :(

    Anyway, let's see... what have I learned...

    -Set boundaries. Don't let people push you around. Don't be nice because you feel guilty. They'll end up not respecting you and you'll feel alone and miserable.

    -Write, paint, draw, make music, express yourself somehow.

    -Be honest with yourself and others. I don't like it when people put off things, avoid things, hide things.

    -Don't get mad. If you do, get it over with, find a punching bag or kickboxing class, and scream along to angry music. Then start moving forward. Anger and hate can really eat you up. They are self-perpetuating monsters.

    -Approach every person you deal with with peace and goodwill. (Especially the ones who haven't even done anything to you, since what should be so hard about that?) Try to give them the benefit of the doubt.

    -Always show or admit that you care.

    -Don't live your life trying to please other people. I know sometimes we have obligations to others, but just make sure it's healthy for everyone involved.

    -Don't blow off life entirely... I know a lot of people who won't think about the deep serious stuff, and that's bad. On the other hand, when things have been deep and serious too long, go find a fun friend and act completely silly. Laugh and play and make people give you weird looks.

    -When you just want unconditional love and acceptance... your best bet is to find a friendly cat or dog. Hopefully there will be people you can count on for that, but there might not always be.

    -Nourish and develop your inner strength. You might need it. And don't neglect your spiritual/prayer life.

    (sounds so easy, doesn't it? not that it solves my problems :) )

    Spend the better part of your youth trying to amuse people on an internet message board.

    The only Hell is that which you create, you have to live with your own decisions...even when no ones looking.

    What about time spent on the clutch bbs? Is that used wisely? Or never regained?

    Any person with over 5000 posts on a single message board has no time for ninja training. Therefore, they can be karate-chopped at will.

    advice that is light, cause you wouldn't want that person to carry around heavy advice all your life. Some guy came back to me and said damn, you gave me some heavy adivce. He was tired. I was like sorry. I didn't think about that.

    I can't give you a solution if you don't tell me the problem. I can't tell you if it's wasted if you don't tell me what you'd be doing otherwise. :)
