Psycho Lee I swear. I've been noticing that all the females I know, or meet, seem to be taken. It's kinda depressing because I'm into meeting potential dates through social interaction and networking, not through random pairing on dating sites. It's hard to ask a girl you know on a date if she's taken. What's worse is it seems most people are happily in love. I haven't been in love in over 5 years. I don't know if I ever will be in love again. I want to cry.
Out of blatant curiosity... How old are you?
I only ask because I didn't find love till recently and I'm 23. Don't despair, you'll find someone. Just don't sell yourself short.

Psycho Lee I do think that you're rather intellegent and seem to know how to research things a lot better than I do, either because I'm too lazy or I just don't know how to research good. I think a little of both. I really such at looking stuff up. And you seem to be level headed and have a good sense of humor.
Aww, that's very nice of you to say all that. I don't think I'm really intelligent at all though. I picked up most of my knowledge from classes and a few books, occasionally learning awesome info from historical games and forums dedicated to them. So my knowledge is just different but not...well, I'm not a scientist. razz
Also, I picked up some better ways of researching things over the years through college, but otherwise I only learned it all due to my unique circumstances... I mean, having to defend my existence/sexuality or having this constant dread and fear of needing to defend myself from random people kinda makes you need to research up certain topics.
Psycho Lee Sigh. I see why it's sometimes a good idea not to bring up politics or religion, at least unless you know the other person's opinion and how they'll react. It just seems to bring up hostility and cause people to no longer be friends. *sits in a corner depressed*
Actually, I get depressed and angry all the time when it comes to politics and religion. I generally try not to think about it anymore, and avoid those topics when I can. Some times, I slip up and read stupidity and have a tendency to want to comment. Sometimes I do. It's always a disaster and a mistake for me, since those emotions just come rushing back.
For example, recently there was a thread somewhere about someone being upset that their tax dollars were being used to educate illegal immigrants. For some reason, I posted about how they're not only Native Americans, but also that the state they were in was stolen from Mexico. Zero counters, only nationalist or red herring comments followed. Some of the comments were downright dehumanizing too. I gave up pretty quickly, despite repeating myself probably 4 times each post. Never once did it sink in, and every reply was more off-topicness, ignorance, ignoring the facts, etc, etc...
The point of saying that, despite me getting to vent a little, was that often times the argument goes no where. 9 times out of 10, you have a hardliner on the other side who will never listen or be informed. It's something I'm still learning, and it's not a fun fact. However, this did push me significantly towards apathy and avoidance.
I can't say I'm the happiest person ever, but I can say I -do- feel less depressed and angry than I used to be. It's not the advice people desire, and frankly it's counter to...well, just about everything people are taught. But sometimes, for the sake of your happiness and well being, you just need to be apathetic and just avoid it. I mean, you don't have to give up entirely. If you meet someone that just needs to be told the facts, then do it. But for online conversations and situations where it isn't called for, just ignore it. Never click to read comments on any topic either, even the most harmless of topics. Unless you're reading a tech blog, don't bother, especially with youtube and political issues!
Not saying you have to give it all up if it's your passion, but honestly the years of it all just sorta "broke" me. If you think you'd be better off not being exposed to these topics anymore, then try it for a few weeks and see how you feel in the end.

Psycho Lee I just noticed Mort's rant about public schools. While I can understand not wanting tax money going to welfare or public health care, I cannot understand why someone would not want their "working money" going towards "state funded schools" as she so elequently put it. If there are no public schools, only private, and children have to pay for schooling, what happens to poor kids? They become illiterate and uneducated? End up doing drugs on the street and joining gangs because they lack education? Sigh. I can't see myself becoming friends again with that woman. Her brain is just not wired right.
Me neither, public schools are very important, a lot of people strive to become something, they shouldn't be shot down just for not being able to learn. My friend recently got her GED, it took her a long while, she came here from Somalia at age 12 and had never been to school. Never seen anyone more into learning than her, she said it's a blessing to have free education.
