Ouch. 3 out of 10.

Ok, I'll keep it blunt, so I don't have a panic attack. I was raped by 4 guys when I was 13. I'm 19 now, and I told my parents about it in July. I've been in therapy, and was just diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and have to go on meds and stay in therapy until I can overcome it. I have panic attacks about four times a week, and I haven't slept a full night without nightmares in 6 years.

On top of it, I just passed a kidney stone, and have hundreds more producing in my kidneys. Then the doctors found a non cancerous mass on my ovary that I have to have removed in two weeks. So I'll be bedridden for Christmas.

I guess that's all I want to complain about.

I don't need it. I have an incredibly strong immune system, in fact I'm a student at high school who rarely washes his hands and I've haven't even got a sore throat yet.

That doesn't mean your immune system is inpenitruble. Your body has antibodies already made for most virus because you probably have been exposed to a lot of minor ones.

Oh i know, but Ialso haven't had the flu for about 5 years now.

I would not want to be around you. You rarely wash your hands? It doesn't matter if you don't get sick, it's still gross.

Maybe not in that situation, but dont tell me you guys have never known somone who compltely changes when drunk. I know i can sometimes and i have a friend who is a very mean drunk but nothing like that normally and I dont judge her for what she does in that situation.

Wolls

It's kind of you to not judge her, but unfortunately she needs to realize something. If she is a mean drunk, there is a simple solution: stop drinking. And changing when you're drunk is not an excuse to keep drinking. If you change into a "cooler" person, it looks like you just need to talk to someone about your confidence level. I'm not saying this is true for you, but in general many people feel more confident when they are drunk, and it makes it easier to talk to people.

Like for example, my friend couldn't talk to guys. So one night a mutual friend gave her a beer and said, "relax, now go talk to him". She wasn't drunk at all. But just the idea that a beer helped her talk to a guy started a fire. From then on it went from two beers, to three beers, to a six pack and so forth. She is an extreme situation I will admit, but it has to start somewhere.

Back on topic. I do not think being drunk is ever an excuse for anything, because honestly, you didn't have to get drunk in the first place. But, I will say that not driving when drunk is an excellent idea. I wouldn't call it an excuse, just a responsible choice. However, I think some people (mainly girls), and I have fallen into this trap before, need to think seriously about a guy that would use being drunk as his excuse for cheating on you. In my experience, every guy that has ever said that to me has been cheating sober as well. It's an excuse to put you at ease, and make you think he's still there for you, but really it's just his way of saying "yeah I was drunk that one time, but not the other four times this week". It's a very hard situation because you're never sure if the guy is sorry or not.

Oh, and don't get me wrong. This can easily go the oppoiste way, and frequently does. A girl can use the exact same excuse on a guy, especially if the guy is vulnerable or "whipped". It's a sad thing really.

My pet peeve though is when a girl says "well he was drunk, he didn't really think she was hot. she was probably ugly, and I know he regrets it". I never know what to say to that except "sorry honey, that's a bunch of bull ****".

Oh well. As for religion, it doesn't matter what any book says, it's societies rules that really reflect accuratly why some people would use drunk as an excuse in the first place. It's great if some people use faith or whatever to keep them on the moral road, but when it comes down to the nitty gritty, it's what society says is ok. Thank god drunk is one of the worst. It will be a sad day when society accepts all of the worlds "flaws" shall we say.

Sigh. I was originally going to art school to get a degree for video game design. But alas, I dropped that idea for a much more "exciting" endeavor. I'm going to get a PhD and teach English at a University. Preferably Brit Lit, but we'll see.

[QUOTE="zakkro"][QUOTE="t3hrubikscube"]Zak! Good choices. I especially love Hail to the Thief.t3hrubikscube

It's hard not to like Eliott Smith. His voice is so amazing, as are his lyrics.

[QUOTE="Esmenet"]I second the Eliott Smith. But anything from Laura Marling or Priscilla Ahn is my favorite. Oh, and Bob Dylan.t3hrubikscube

Why thank you! :) I'm assuming that means you are a fan of the above mentioned. Out of curiosity, do you like Peter, Bjorn And John?

[QUOTE="Esmenet"][QUOTE="Scianix-Black"]

lol, You tried to prove a point, but that didn't prove anything.

Of course he would have sex with you over a video game anyday... he's human. He does what feels good. Video games and sex both feel good... but the difference here is that video games, like you said, do not nag. Not only that, but you can get lost in video games... you can't really get lost in sex. There isn't a story to sex. You do it and you're done.

It's not like during sex he's thinking "Gee... this is fun and all, but I sure can't wait for her to start telling me about all the things I do wrong!"

Generally, I don't think men prefer video games over women, they just prefer the fact that they can use their console whenever they want without having to worry about commitment, and contrary to what you may think, I doubt your boyfriend's any different.

I'm not here to judge.... I mean he's with you because he likes/loves/committed to you, I'm sure, because there are people like that out there, but using the fact that he likes to have sex with you as a basis for claiming he's different from the men who prefer video games over women is... lol, wrong.

Scianix-Black

I agree with what you said though. However, in some relationships, you can "use the person" whenever you want, just like your console. :P And he doesn't really play video games as much as I do anyways, so sex is a better option for him most days.

That's true... I just can't agree with all the people here who are comparing women to video games. It just doesn't work that way.

You can compare sex to video games, but not women.

I agree. Wholeheartedly. Also, I do want to mention that I got did read the article, but responded to others about the sex thing. I know it isn't just about sex, so I agree with whoever mentioned the chick flick. (too lazy to go look, sorry!)

[QUOTE="Doctor-McNinja"][QUOTE="Espada12"]

I read it, but what they were saying was that she was no longer depressed due to her pictures from the party and other events she attended and were using those pictures as evidence to stop paying her. Which is why I asked how can they determine that.

FLSTS

[QUOTE="Espada12"]

How does a picture determine depression or not? I never thought heath ledger had depression from the way he looked and acted but he sure as hell did!
