The best way to gain post credits is to find a topic you have loads of opinions or interest in. For example i tend to sway towards the religion topics, as well as venting, and gay rights. That is because those things at least peak my interest somewhat. However sometimes i cant think of anything to write about, or cant find something someone else hasn't already written, or that i haven't always written. Thats usually when my posting credits go down. Like recently i have no accessible internet until the weekend, and it just so happened i had nothing to write about so i was annoyed with losing my hosting credits, however when i was internetless and tvless for the past week lots of things happened, like my aunt getting her license and my uncle being a jerk. So now i have things to write about. You just have to observe your surroundings and figure out what are good things to type about, personally venting is where i get most my credits.

So her license was pulled in October, the other day she received a letter from the DMV, when she opened it, it said she was now allowed to renew her license. So we went to DMV and renewed it, now she got it back. But i am having mixed feelings. I am happy she has it back, this means she can actually go places without depending on others, however she is still having problems. She says she hasn't had any seizures, and i haven't to my knowledge seen her get one, shes gotten very nervous, but nothing close to what to me looks like a seizure, but just because i haven't seen her have one, and she says she hasn't had one, it doesn't mean she actually hasn't. Especially since i believe it was the day before yesterday, when she flat out told me, "i am not going to tell anyone if i have a seizure, i don't want my license pulled." So i am back at the constant worrying if she's having them, and will she have one while she is driving. Now she wants to have the doctor lower her dosage of seizure meds to see how she does, which i think is VERY unwise if she is going to be driving, because that just puts her in risk of not taking enough meds, so she will have a seizure.

What i honestly don't get is how being a member of something for a long time, means you are better. Doesn't that technically make you a loser for having spent SO much time on the internet? Don't get me wrong i am an internet *BLEEP*, but its not my life, and many people do make it their life, and thats just plain lame, being on the internet every second of your life is not something to be proud of, and i don't get how doing just that [spending your life online] makes you better then the so called 'noob'. I can get why people would feel threatened by noobs, i know at boards when new comers come in and try to practically take everyones attention it gets frustrating, and i hate how they have so many questions, when most questions could be answered had they simply read the rules. But i've been apart of boards where a couple people i know from other boards wanted to join an RPG and we got there, made decent characters and no one would talk to us because they had cliques so we ended up leaving the board. But i've also been apart of 'cliques' in rpg boards and its hard to let new people in. So i can i guess relate to both sides. I think not enough people tell others their art sucks. Too many people go around posting blurry text'd crap everywhere on the internet and people tell them its beautiful. I don't get it. Meanwhile others who are actually good get left in the dark. Why do people do this? Is it because they don't want the crappy 'artist' to feel bad and assume the better already has self esteem or something? I am too nice to tell people their work sucks, but i hardly like most peoples work and i hardly praise anyones unless i really do like it, usually i just say 'looks nice' because i am far to nice to tell them really i think its horrible and they never should attempt it again. I agree that not everyone is a graphically skilled as others especially in the beginning, but its unfair to the person to continue and tell them their work is great when it sucks miserably. Chances are that person is wasting their time, and should move on to things they can do better. I don't think i have had my art stolen, i've had people ask to use it and depending on who it is i either tell them yes or no, and give them the usual 'don't claim it as your own' speech. What i cannot stand is when people hotlink. I think its absolutely rude and so pointless. I especially hate when i let people use my graphic and then they hotlink it from my photobucket, i usually just move the file so they can't do that and so they lose my image.

Women can be just as abusive in relationships as men. When a girl hits a guy people think its funny, but that is STILL abuse. Also many women are emotionally abusive to their husbands. So they are JUST as bad as men when it comes to abuse of a boyfriend/husband. I think women think too highly of themselves just as many men do the same. They think for some reason they are better then men, but they aren't. They act as if guys are worthless, which we aren't. In general most women i don't like.

I think its rather dumb that drugs are not legal, but drinking and cigarettes are. I know more people who are in accidents due to drinking, then because they are high. Probably because when your high, it feels good you dont need to go anywhere, when you are drunk, its not usually enough to make you perfectly fine where you are. I don't think any of it should really be legal, but i think if alcohol and cigarettes are legal then pot should be legal too, i am okay with harder drugs being illegal, even though i have taken many illegal drugs it doesn't bother me that they are not legal.I think its funny the anti drug commercials always talk about pot and cigarettes, i hardly see alcohol ones and i hardly see hard drug ones. So its okay for a kid to do heroin and drink, but not okay for a kid to smoke cigarettes and pot? I'd be more concerned if my kid was doing heroin or snorting cocaine then if they were smoking pot. I get pot is a gateway drug supposedly, but i know more people that just stick with pot then other drugs. If anything alcohol is the bigger, or even biggest gateway drug because its so not as good as the others.

I love Italian food, i like spaghetti a lot. I didn't used to like it a lot but now that im older i really like tomato-y sauce. I don't eat meat so i am never up for like meatballs and stuff. I like Pizza, especially if it has lots of olives and mushrooms. I am not very into a lot of cheese on my pizza though, but i like the cheese to cover all the sauce. I hate cheese that stretches, i know people say that makes the pizza better but i think its gross, i like the cheap cheese most pizza places use. I like other noodle/pasta stuff to like the kind with the white sauce. I like spinach/cheese ravioli and tortillini.

Alcohol is an excuse but not a good one. I hate when they said oh i was just drunk i wasn't thinking, if you can remember it the next day to tell them in my opinion you were thinking, just not in a good way. If they were so drunk that someone had to tell them they slept with someone, i think thats different because obviously then that person took advantage of them.

Being straight or gay has nothing to do with being transgendered. I don't blame anyone if someone is transgendered its just how they are and how they feel. They don't chose to be transgendered they just chose if they want to go through to all the steps to become male or female. It doesn't really concern me or anyone else if they go through the procedure so i don't get why people get so uptight about it. They will be unhappy and could end up killing themselves if they don't go through with becoming the real gender they are meant to be, so when people say why dont you just stay the gender you were born as, it's not very intelligent because it wont change them from being transgendered it will just make them very unhappy.

I really hate when people bring out 'i have ran many things online' because it's not even a good argue. If you have indeed ran things online you would know everything on the internet is ran different depending on who owns it, you do not own this board so it wont be ran the way you want it to be. That being said had you looked into the rules before posting (like most everyone should to ensure they wont get in trouble) you would realize that signing the end of your posts is against the rules because you gain unearned credits.

So just because some people use religion as an excuse to murder themselves and others you blame the WHOLE religion? I don't honestly believe the religion is bad, its some people who 'believe' in it that are bad. To be honest i think you are a very ignorant and hyprotical person judging by your posts about different religions in the vent so far. Why don't you actually study and talk to people of religions you don't know, you might learn something.

To be honest it sounds as if you are describing more christians then Atheists, i have a thread in the vent that is much like yours only the opposite. I think you are describings people who question god, more then Atheists. Like i often question god, and i think i get more upset when people talk about him, then an Atheist would. I have never met an Atheist who tried to push their beliefs on people, but i've met MANY christians who do. Why do you think its okay for Christians to do it, but if Atheists do it's so HORRIBLE? Why do you and many people feel like this? You are the one who seems smug, many christians in general are quite smug. Non believers just want you to back off, and i guess as a result they/we just become as smug as you all.

I am not saying 'don't be concerned with your friend' but just here me out. Sometimes those not talking are the ones who really want to die. A lot of times when a person says they want to kill them self it may just be a cry for attention. Many people who try to kill themselves/succeed are not in the right state of mind when they do it, it sometimes is planned but i know from personal experience it sometimes is spontaneous, not that nothing leads up to it, but the actual act is spontaneous. Sometimes people just get overwhelmed an contemplate suicide and openly discuss it, but many times its temporary and they calm down and move on. You should always ask a friend how they are doing, get them to talk...be there, regardless if they appear sad or not.

Lethal Injection or Hanging. Lethal Injection you don't feel anything i think right? Though since i'd be on death row i probably deserve the harshest punishment they had, but since i really am not on death row i care if i can feel it or not. Hanging would be okay, as long as its done correctly it should work and be not that painful right?

In my opinion anything under 100% safe is 0% safe. I think in a heterosexual sexual experience the girl should be using the pill and the guy should wear a condom, the pill for pregnancy protection, and the condom for both pregnancy protection and STD protection. You should also always ask your partner if they are using the pill, and make sure the condom is on correctly before beginning because its better to be the safest then sorry. As for me i always use a condom, i didn't always but for the past two years i have because its safer and i do care a lot more now. Condoms really are only as good as the person who is using them, that is saying if the condom isn't broken or defected. I think condoms are only like 85% safe... so really the best is to not have sex, but if you must just be careful, and never use the same condom twice, even if you didn't actually ejaculate.

The only useful thing that comes from your idea would be if it was water instead of soda, or a hydrating drink. We really don't need soda so it would just be another thing feeding the ever growing obesity. However when it comes to long trips, or people getting lost in the desert it would be a very good idea.

First off i do know what the video card does. I just am/was unaware of how to get it to work and i already know i need to buy another/new one to get the game to work. But i am just unsure of what is wrong with directX and why on the last three computers i have owned it hasn't worked, regardless of how new my stuff inside my computer is. You don't have to call me retarded in fact more then anything no matter how you 'meant' it, you don't need to say it at all there's nicer ways of saying that someone doesn't understand something. If i knew what i was dealing with i wouldn't be asking for help now would I? On my laptop i have the same directX issue but have over 100 mb of video memory.

Its actually hard to describe what is a man. In most cases it is anyone who has the male organs. But to go deeper, it becomes harder. Especially when you get into transsexual issues. So i guess it depends on the persons soul/heart. I was born male, i have male organs and aside from homosexual thoughts i have typical male thoughts (just i think of guys instead of girls)- but others who were born male and even still have male organs may identify themselves as female (regardless of thoughts of men or women...because that really just doesn't make a persons gender). And some people born female maybe identify themselves as male. It seems like such an easy question but it really isn't. As for masculine thoughts... its hard to say there, because what is a normal male thought?

I am a guy and i like being a guy. I like guys so much that the thought of being a girl...is just wrong for me. I like being a guy who likes guys. I am not like a narcissist exactly... but i don't know how to explain it. I like everything about being a guy i just like guys in general. I am not sexist really i just...like guys more, so being a guy rocks?

So i want to apologize if this is not the right place, i really don't venture far from where i usually post and as far as i am concerned this is like a whole other world. Plus i only know computers so much, and so placing this was hard since i don't quite know what it is.So i got the desperate housewives game (i love the show, and like games like that...I'm simple okay?) and prior to buying it i had read it had issues but i went ahead and got it anyway. Well...what do you know it has issues. So i put the disk in and it checks for requirements. I pass all but two. 1. Being not enough video memory it requires something like 63 mb or something and i only have 31. That seems like a reasonably easy problem i think right? So then the second is Video Acceleration - it says fail but i have what it so calls requires. So it leads to being a DirectX problem. Now i know nothing about DirectX/Video Acceleration...i don't even know if they are the same thing called two different things i just know DirextX is a problem. Its been a problem before for me when i wanted to install a game it wouldn't let me, even though i had directX. *Note: now when i try to put the disk in to see if it'll install i hit install and the tower makes a lot of noise and nothing happens. I can't return it and even if i could i dont really want to because i want to play the game.

Well i pretty much have it figured out, if anyone cares. I just don't watch either show. Like if scrubs is on and GA is a repeat i will watch Scrubs or if Scrubs is a repeat and GA isn't i'll watch GA...but if they both are on i just don't watch either. So technically i am being fair to both shows.

It reminds me of the baby dinosaur in the show 'Dinosaurs'.

On the whole coming out opinions, i don't think coming out really is something every gay person needs to do i mean straight people don't go around saying 'oh well, i'm straight..' do they? No so why should gays? I like to talk about my boyfriend, without having to stop and tell everyone i'm gay before i do. I do tend to come out, just because i HATE confusion i DISLIKE heavily being hit on by girls, or being thought to be a girl [online it usually happens, obviously not offline] and i like to know that the people i hang out with aren't homophobes, so i guess in many ways i feel obligated to just tell people i am gay...i am not the type of person that says it every minute of the day, or wears shirts yelling it out, and i do not go to every individual i meet and tell them i like guys...but i usually wait for the right moment to atleast mention that i don't date girls [and there is a right and wrong moment to tell such things] and then if no one makes a fuss i just continue to talk to them and talk about how i like guys. Because i really hate when people say they are okay with gays but arent okay with me talking about guys which really isn't fair...if everyone [straight] is allowed to talk about who they like, i do think its fair i [and other gays] can to.

I would go on and say a bunc of stuff, but you have said mostly what i was thinking anyway. In fact i almost 100% agree with your post, and theres something rather...off about the original posters post. The porn thing just aggrivated me, you hate your county and one reason is the blockage of porn? COME ON...seriously. If anything you seem rather immature. I know two people from there and they don't speak as bad about it as you do, they say its a little boring [most places are...especially if you live there you run out of things to do...its not just your country.]

The problem with many people who eat meat, is that is their 'main food' on their plate, having a HUGE peice of meat, and a small pile of vegetables is NOT healthy. You don't need as much meat as people think you do, the ammount of each food on someones plate usually is wrong, and people act as if you can't have a meal without a piece of meat, but you CAN. The original post wasn't saying you need to eat a whole cow and a bunch of chickens per day to get what you need, i am sure a small peice of meat per day would do the job, your body doesn't need as much meat as people consume they probably need more vegetables and fruits instead. The way i look at it, is if you have to cook the meat you don't need it...sure people supposedly have 'canine' teeth but compare them to animals and you'd see your teeth aren't nearly as equipped. I also think because so many people eat so much meat they are getting too much of one kind of vitamin and not enough else where, but any way back to the original post we all know we need vitamins, and i think its smart to take vitamin pills because we cant always eat all the foods 'doctors' recommend, for example i cannot eat meat ignoring my beliefs about eatting meat, it makes me litterly sick...so i have to get some vitamins elsewhere.

Just say you want to hang out, since you guys probably haven't hung out before. I would just simply tell her you want to hang out, as friends.
