I think my avatar sums up my thoughts ("Why yes, I am awesome" if it's too small to read). I have the opposite problem; My sense of self-worth is so high it's stratospheric. I know I have flaws but I just don't dwell on them, they're only as big of a problem as you let them become, and if...

Chances are it went badly because of your mindset rather than your appearance. Girls tend to be more forgiving when it comes to looks. Don't give up just because a few knocked you back, it's their loss.

Have faith dude, things will get better. The key to these things is your attitude; have confidence and belief in yourself and others will too. The ladies love it when guys are completely comfortable with who they are, and if you're not, you can always fake it!

So what if they're people? The puppy being thrown in the river and other animals have a mother, a father and most likely brothers and sisters, has experienced and gone through things we could never experience or understand properly but somehow they're not worth as much as a human life. Again...

While they may be happy, my original point on the first page was that they were unremarkable (i.e, ordinary, average, nothing special and ultimately forgettable) and I don't see why people put humans on some kind of pedestal compared to other forms of life. And I do drive myself to work...

Pardon me if I don't care. It is, yes. Come on, you honestly think that people actually dream about being a cab driver / toiler cleaner / other menial job one day and the majority of them ended up in those jobs because they really want to and not because they didn't apply themselves?

Trust me, they are. The cab driver probably is lazy and was too short sighted to apply himself in school. Not many people would actually want a job like that. Anyway this discussion is pointless; you think most people are magical and wonderful, I think most are are useless and would back...

Yes I do think my achievements so far have been fairly remarkable and no I've never thought that I'm wrong in thinking that. I'm not, however, under the illusion that there aren't people far better than myself. I'm just sick of people who have dreams and ambitions and how they go on about how...

Good for you, although no one on that list stands out as someone remarkable, unless you count being born in Belgium an achievement. I find the people I've been in contact with through school, university and my work to be almost entirely worthless, boring, dull and content to stagnate in their...

Because hurting an animal like this is just so completely pointless and cruel. There is absolutely no excuse for it at all and is the product of someone's sick idea of fun. Also people who have pets can relate at lot more to it and would be pretty devastated if someone were to harm their pet. I...

How about you look at the definition from the Theft Act 1968... A person shall be guilty of theft if he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it. Now explain how copying the chair is permanently depriving him of it...

There is some truly bizarre logic that goes on in people's heads when it comes to this topic. Why do people have this idea that anyone who says "piracy isn't theft" thinks that they must also think that "piracy is legal and ok"? You can say that piracy isn't theft and still think that it's...

You say you're anal about accuracy yet your post is full of mistakes. That's just down right wrong and phrased extremely poorly. There ARE examples where the DLC has been free for the PC version and not for the console version. The Metro 2033 DLC is one example off the top of my head...

I'm a corporate lawyer with one of the biggest (and arguably best) law firms in the UK and I specialise in intellectual property, litigation and banking & securities law. Sounds like a boring job on paper, but in reality it's fascinating and the pay and conditions are top notch. The only...

Ultimately trying to come up with some kind of "perfect" DRM is completely pointless with the hardware architecture that we currently have and will end in it being cracked. The only difference between different DRM methods is how easy or difficult it is to beat. I'd suggest that anyone who...
