Well, I gave this place a chance for a few months, but I don't really feel like I fit in here. This is my last post. Take care all.

I do now. Sorry to waste your time.

You can make a list if you really want. I don't think it's wise to expect everyone to live up to every detail on it, however. People have flaws and problems, some just hide it better than others. The smart thing to do is probably to decide what you are willing to compromise on and what you...

Hard to say, I've watched a lot of them. Audition by Takashi Miike is pretty spine-tingling; definitely not for the faint of heart. What do you do to relax when under stress?

My best friend is a guy who lives in Brazil that I've known for about 12 years since we started posting on a forum. He's the only friend I have that I wouldn't think twice about telling anything. I suppose the reason we keep in contact is we have very similar interests and struggles in life...

(Most) doctors who are in the health business for any span of time go through certain qualifications and a lot of education before getting around to helping patients with prescription medications, so they know what they are doing. If you want to bring faith into the equation, I imagine you...

When you're learning to walk or ride a bike, you are going to fall on your face a long time until it suddenly works. How talented and capable you are is a function of nature and nurture.
