You know Gerard, I don't know if I missed this the first time, or what. But I honestly cannot believe I said "life choice". I know that you are born a certain way, and cannot help who you are attracted to. It's simple nature. Now, coming out and practicing any form of sexuality is a choice. Because you could choose to deny your feelings. I really cannot believe I said life choice. I'm sorry if I offended you or anyone.

Um adoptions don't take a kid away from its birth parents unless the parent gave them up for adoption or they were taken away. And normally if they are taken away they go into foster care so the parents can get straight again and get the kids back. The only problem I have with these adoptions is there are tons of kids in need of adoption in the US or whatever country these people are from. But, in the US anyway, the process is long and hard. It can be much easier to go to other countries. Plus, foster homes, adoption homes, etc. are much better in the US than in Africa, etc. So I get why they do it, but if I were to adopt it'd be a local adoption.

To be honest I think the attempted suicide is crap. It was only on the web on a tabloid site (not they aren't right sometimes) but I didn't hear anything of it in reputable news. Timbaland will help her I'm sure but she'll end up in Vegas soon enough after the new "I'm Back" album flops.

According to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent Personally I had never really thought about it, but I think Christianity may have had a lot to do with it. Europe is predominatley Christian, where Asia is not. I know that Turkey is not and there are a lot of Islamic people in Spain, and I'm sure some Christians in Asia but that would seem to be a dividing line. Of course, not everyone subscribes to the popular 7 continent think either. Some people call it 6, others 5. I mean think about it, Egypt touches part of Asia so they aren't technically "seperate"

To me suicide is never the correct choice, regardless of reasons. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Most problems can be fixed. It's always possible for life to get better. And as far as why he did it (or anyone does it) who really knows. The note could simply say "life wasn't worth living" but not go into detail. At 16 you haven't really started living life yet, how can you know it's not worth living?

Carrying a condom is good for having one handy, but it can damage the condom. The movement from you walking can tear it, as can the heat. And I read something about the "pullout" method. I'm glad you said it was crap. I about kicked a friend in the junk when I thought that's what he was using.

Very true Righty. There is no 100% birth control/STD control other than not having sex. And I pray that no one is reading this thread and using it as gospel. Please folks, make your own decisions and do some research before you start humping away.

True, but if you don't want to get pregnant, have kids, and still want to have sex then you need protection. Pregnancy is a very good thing when you want it, are ready for it, and it's with the right person. That's not to say that "oops" babies are bad things, but if you have plans for life and they don't include a baby it will certainly cramp those plans. Maybe you'll be happier in the long run (often what happens) but when it first happens you probably won't feel that way. And as far as not using a condom if you don't have to, there's no issue there. If you are with a person you trust, i.e. each other's firsts, been tested, etc. and you are trying to prevent pregnancy only, then yeah condoms aren't your only choice. There are a myriad of "BIRTH CONTROL" items out there. For women mainly. The "male pill" is still being tested. (read up on it, it's very interesting). But condoms should really be used every time if you're not in a monogomous, committed relationship.

Sadly still pretty homophobic. Me personally, I was very homophobic back in high school, but now it doesn't bother me. It's still odd seeing two people of the same sex holding hands, etc. but it doesn't bother me personally. Just not something you see everyday is all. You mentioned the "must like every guy thing" That's what I find funny. Most of the people who say things like "I don't like them, they may hit on me" would be lucky to get anyone hitting on them. I'd always say "I'm pretty sure gay guys have standards that don't include beady eyes, beer gut, and unable to leave mommies side" Do some straight men want to bang every woman that walks by? Probably, but I guarantee grandma's good friend isn't going to turn their fancy. Attraction is the key to damn near everything.

They should just call it the crotch rot we'd all understand then. Having sex young is not a precursor to getting a disease or pregnancy. Stupidty is. If you don't know how to work a condom read the box they have directions on them. If you don't know how the pill (or other contracteptives) work, again read up on it, ask a doctor, check the web for reputable sources, not a gaming community. (sorry but no one here is a doctor or an expert no matter how much sex youv'e had) If your'e hooking up with someone for a one nighter wrap it up. Don't believe a thing they say. (Not my cup of tea so don't preach to me, some people are into that). If you get into a relationship make sure you trust the other person enough. If she's not on the pill use a condom! Babies are the most expensive thing sex transmits. If you are simply looking for an orgasm or to have a "good time" just masterbate. If your'e sexually active get tested now and again. Would you rather be embarresed to get tested or pass on the clap to 10 people because you didn't know you had it.

Wow. Granted she's a crazy girl who obviously has some problems, but why should she die? Did she hurt you or your family in some way to make you wish harm on her?

yea he gets right panicking when am trying to shoot hes going ( o nooooooo blkeys trying to blow me up ) or something like that "Carl, Carl, I thought you could shoot Carl" "We need a bridge, we need a bridge" "I can't move Carl, hurry, hurry" Etc.

Smart ass remark and I'm being a bitch. Good I'm glad you think that. I have no smart ass remark, and you could give me the title of the book so I can read it. I agree with Righty that these things are quite interesting. I still am skeptical, but I am on all conspiracy theories. I just wish that OGTA MAster and Dazza would understand that if someone disagrees with your opinion you don't have to start calling them names or calling them stupid or morons as you so eloquently put it. You should tell them why that is your OPINION and defend it. That's all I was trying to was defend my opinion, and get you guys to defend yours. Instead you started calling me names, and getting pissed off.

Hmm, there is proof out there for me to find, and yet they destroy the evidence so there is no proof. Which is it? Seems to me the only proof is people trying to claim there is proof and adding more fuel to the fire. But by all means, please, as I have asked fors everal times now. Why do you guys think they do run things. What expmples are there, even if there is no concrete proof, what makes you think this way? Can't I be provided with that?

There is a Desert Eagle behind Zero's shop in San Fierro (PS version anyway). And you have to do beat "Black Project" before the jet pack is there. (It's not on the roof but next to the door)

I see. So, you constantly mention these "facts and proof" that is out there, but don't provide me a link so I can read up on it? You wanted a debate, to know about people's thoughts on all of this and when I disagree you get snippy. Wow, way to prove your point. If you want to debate then debate. Show me these facts that are out there that I don't have straight. Please. I'm sure in all your years on this earth you have been able to amass a lot of knowledge on the subject and are now an expert on it? I'm not claiming to have all the facts. I'm saying that from what I've heard, read, etc. that I see no proof to thinking the masons run the world. Are there coincidences that are freaky? Sure. But I bet you can find them almost anywhere. Keep on calling me names and shit though. That proves your point moreso than backing your arguments up.

As to why I refuse to believe something? Sure. I'm a scientist. I go by facts and knowledge. There is no concrete proof that these guys have anything to do with anything. I'm sure there have been Presidents who have been members of the Knights of Columbus, or The Lions Club, etc. They are simply fraterneties for grown men to go and drink and complain about their wives. To help out around the community too. Why do you believe they are all powerful? Do you really think they rigged the election? Don't you think with all the people who speak out against the Masons that someone would have raised a bitch fit over the possibility?

if there is any real proof other than coincidences I'll believe it. I'm sorry but I refuse to believe that one group runs the world

It is quite possible that the government holds stuff that we would never believe. Look at the weapons the government has. But what does that have to do with the Masons? Because some of them have been Kings, Presidents, etc. that means that they are the most powerful thing in the world? Why? What causes people to think this way? A banker for the Vatican being murdered by the Masons (allegedly) is significant, in that why did they do it? and why was it covered up? But that's one thing out of thousands of years. It seems to me that the Masons enjoy all the controversy and push these thoughts. If I'm wrong and they are all powerful then I guess we'll find out soon enough. Because George Bush is a mason and he could send the Secret Service to come get me, then I won't be able to come here anymore, right? How about the Skull and Crossbones of Yale? Not only are the duel Bushes members, but also John Kerry! They must have rigged the election! You see, you can find conspiracy theories anywhere if you are crazy enough.

I think people give the Free Masons too much credit. I'm sure they have killed to keep their "secrets" but to say they are behind everything and know everything is too much. I watched most of the thing on Discovery Chanel last night too, and to me it sounds more like a cult or a religion. And some of the things they mentioned sounded more like the Klan than anything else. (Which is another secret society that kills to protect itself). I've met masons before and they are just normal people.
