    LOL

    Oh man, that's hilarious. Yeah I'm just praying that tin foil will deflect the various chemicals and whatnot, instead of baking me like a hot potato... mmm.... that sounds good, baked potatoes.... Oh wait where was I?

    Oh yes, well, does anyone else find it much more worrying that North Korea could technically strike the West Coast than the whole situation in Iraq?

    I watched Blix today on ABC in a special report early this morning (I hadn't even slept yet) and honestly I'm not sure I see what threat Iraq poses at all right now. As long as those inspectors are there and we have our military close, why not just wait for these proceedings to take their course? Unless, of course, Iraq becomes uncooperative entirely, then I guess we have to be harsher, but I don't know, it just seems to me that the U.S. isn't being entirely reasonable here. I guess I don't see the harm in just waiting, if it means saving human lives, and I don't think human lives are at stake in us waiting.

    I wish we could resolve the N. Korea incident somehow peacefully too, I wish (this would never happen) that Bush would just be humble about it to them (he really shouldn't have to do this, but you can sometimes put pride aside) and say, "Hey, you know, I should not have remarked that your country is part of an axis of evil, so I am sorry about that. What can we do here to have you guys cool down the war and weapons talk, or how can we help the peace process here?" It seems that sometimes you just have to let the other person spout their rhetoric and vent, then when they're done, try to work things out. If both sides are just exchanging insults or threats, I don't see how that's going to do any good.

    The only other solution, if everyone has too much pride, is, IMO, to forcefully remove the weapons capability from North Korea, which just seems like a far worse idea to me than trying to work with them peacefully, not threatening them, and somehow arriving at a solution.

    I think that the whole "what about me" slant on our foreign policy is retarded. Neither Iraq nor North Korea are likely to launch an assault against us any time soon. I'm FAR more concerned about them launching attacks against others. Whether it be Kurds, Shiite Muslims, or South Koreans. These are the ones that are in jeopardy, not us.

    LOL, I echo that sentiment.

    I'd settle for just kissing a girl in the meantime LOL

    = kissing a girl?

    I feel sorry for her already.

    lol, no

    Lol, no that's not what I mean at all! My face was to indicate that I haven't even kissed a girl, pathetically, so I'd settle for just that.

    Anyway I don't know anything about all that, so don't ask me. I wouldn't know.

    Well, its nothing to be ashamed of. I've never kissed a girl either.

    lol

    LOL, ugg.

    I do not think I'm a bad looking guy either, I don't think I'm a hunk (LOL), but I think I gotta be a 6/10, shoot, you wouldn't think that considering I'm very nice to girls in my real dealings with them and that I'm a smart, thoughtful guy that I would have had such bad luck. Ironically, in grade school, a few of the best looking girls in the class were interested in me, and that's as good as it gets, LOL. Pathetic. Truly pa-thet-ic.

    I do think "nice guys finish last" is a true statement, though, not to be negative or pessimistic, but I think you have to be more assertive with girls than I am, you have to be more forceful. I'm too non-chalant and "nice," I'm a good friend, but nobody wants to get to know me any better really. Even so, I've never found a girl who was a good friend to me. I have certainly worked so hard at being good friends with a few girls, spending money on them, spending time with them, complimenting them whenever it was appropriate, even sending them e-mails asking how they were doing, and in many cases they never asked how I was doing, never asked anything about me, and basically ignored me.

    I think it's so naive and incorrect, in my experience, that girls are "more caring" than guys. Heck guys I know from my high school were a lot nicer and kept in touch, but the girls who I really worked hard to maintain relationships with just left me in the dust. I don't know what to make of it, except that obviously I'm not worthy of their attention right now apparently. In the future, I hope they see that they made a mistake, but right now, I guess that's just the way it is -- no way to change it.

    I find nothing more frustrating than relationships with people, in general. I have had many great friends in my life, but they have let me down at times when I had placed so much faith in them, and I thought I was right to trust them with that much confidence, but I was not. I was perhaps assuming their loyalty to me would be greater than it was, which I guess is a persistent mistake of mine. If I want to achieve any other goal, heck I just do it. I wanted great grades in high school, no problem, I got them. I want an A in a class, I can do it almost always. I wanted to get a literary agent, eh, no problem, I landed one of the top agents in the country just after my 18th birthday. It all comes so easy sometimes, then it's so difficult with relationships. People are so much more unpredictable. It doesn't matter how nice you are. It doesn't matter what you do to help them. It didn't matter that, for instance, I helped Emily on easy math I understood for about 10 to 15 hours of my semester at LMU, after she got her A in the class, she wouldn't talk to me and couldn't even say hello to me. She had no interest in talking to me anymore because I had served my purpose as a free tutor, then I was no longer useful. I hope I have never used anyone like that in my life, at least I work to avoid it. I have never ignored anyone on AOL when they sent me a message, I just couldn't fathom it because I know how it is to be ignored.

    My opinion of people is not very high. I don't think loyalty and goodness are human traits. I think they are only the characteristics of truly remarkable individuals who deserve praise, so when I find such people I express my appreciation of their friendship.

    I guess for that reason buddy movies appeal to me somewhat -- in my experience, relationships don't last. Something always happens to destroy them.

    Well, re-visiting the reason why Americans like duct tape so much...

    People have made very large bags out of the stuff. Some have made clothes out of duct tape, and it's true, you can fix just about anything with the stuff. I remember it was a small fad at high school one year to make your own duct tape bag to carry books in. Those things were marvellously tough. I was impressed. But I never made my own duct tape bag.

    You're what...20 years old, and haven't kissed a girl? Even in grade-school when there weren't any connotations behind it? Wow. You know...have you thought of throwing politeness to the wind and ambushing one, because that is a scary statistic.

    Same goes to you, LD. You should've experimented by this phase in your life. I'm very disappointed

    Give the kid a break. I was 20 before I kissed a girl as well(and when it finally happened SHE was the aggressive one). Now I'm a seasoned veteran of 24.

    Some folks just get there later than others.

    "You're what...20 years old, and haven't kissed a girl? Even in grade-school when there weren't any connotations behind it? Wow. You know...have you thought of throwing politeness to the wind and ambushing one, because that is a scary statistic."

    lol, must you remind me that it's a scary statistic? Haha.

    In grade school, nope, no in grade school I was in the "I hate girls" phase and I did hate girls, before I was 10 or whatever.

    Now I hate them, still, but for different reasons! Haha, j/k

    Hey I held hands with a girl once! It was in music class in 4th grade LOL, j/k, that happened many times, duh.

    No I've never thought about just grabbing someone and doing that, haha, I think I'd get in trouble. Not to mention that I don't care ultimately about "getting in trouble," but just the fact that it wouldn't be a moral thing to do. Girls deserve their privacy and right not to be touched unless they want to be.

    Experimented? Well, I've had the opportunity, but it just doesn't interest me, Charley.
