<p>Word.
I like Persian.
But I have a suspicion s/he is actually you in disguise.</p>
<p>Oh no! I'm hijacking this thread. I don't do it on purpose guys---I just go off on tangents, says nyjunior.</p>
<p>No, it's okay to go off on tangents on threads that are less serious, it was just that on the other thread where we were actually discussing something worthwhile, your tangential remarks confused me, kind of.</p>
<p>Tangential? tango-tangere (it has two other principle parts but I forgot)-to touch.
This is like Posting On CC 101. There's so much I have yet to learn. I guess the force is not yet with me. </p>
<p>bobbo: That is pretty scary. It gives me more incentive to be nice to stupid people. Just kidding....maybe...</p>
<p>I actually sympathize with Bush as far as his drinking habits and whatnot are of concern. Such behaviour was a result of his depression, and his depression was a result of his dad putting too much pressure on him to do something he didn't want to do. I can relate.</p>
<p>^^ I'm sorry (about the fact that you can relate).
But at times it's hard to think about Bush as an actual person with problems and emotions who can react to certain things. Well, hard for me anyway. Same with celebrities. I just put them on a different plane mentally.
But I'm sure he feels the same way about the soldiers being sent out to Iraq/Afghanistan/etc.</p>
<p>But like I said, I have indeed lost much respect for him, because he did have options, no matter how much harder some were compared to others. 'Cause some decisions are insanely difficult for me too, but I've learned to get used to having to live a more painful life than those of my peers (though most of my closest friends, the sons of my father's fat rich partners, also experience similar hardships), and in the future things should get easier as a result of the tough decisions I'm having to make right now.</p>
<p>That's the spirit.</p>
<p>And when you're down and out and your closest friends are busy for the moment doing important things, just remember, you always have the Cafe.</p>
<p>^Troo dat, troo dat. </p>
<p>My closest closest friends are in the hospital right now--freak accident while skydiving .</p>
<p>skydiving?? eeek!</p>
<p>I really hope that was some sort of joke, nyjunior. Or else, I would be really depressed.</p>
<p>Oh, seriously, don't be. They were drunk, and they did it without any professional. I was drunk too, but thankfully my other friend who called for help wasn't.</p>
<p>!!!!!
That still upsets me and worries me.
How would anyone on CC know if you or anyone else in general on CC was seriously hurt?
They would just never come back and we'd think they just got bored and left.</p>
<p>Still, taking your uncle's helicopter and skydiving without a professional while drunk is stupid. But it was something that at the time we couldn't be stopped from doing no matter who tried to talk sense into us.</p>
<p>Wow sounds like a bunch of rich hoodlums!!! :p</p>
<p>Uhhh...maybe you should cut down on the alcohol a bit. Not to be preachy....well, actually, yes, to be preachy. (haha, is that another one of those cutesy-wootsy things?)</p>
<p>Yeah, but as stupid as this may sound, alcohol is something that kind of keeps us somewhat sane...I know you won't understand this though, and it is indeed sad, but it's just the way this is. Having parents who are rich, arrogant, and extremely powerful in this sad world of ours, that just sucks!</p>
<p>So you ARE rich?!</p>
<p>Throw some of those chocolate money things my wayyy $$$$$ </p>
<p>mmmm</p>
<p>You're right. I don't understand it and I can't empathize. But I can sympathize.
What happens when you get out (i.e. to college)? Will anything change?</p>
<p>(haha---collegeguy)</p>
<p>@collegeguy: My parents are rich, I rather be poor. Trust me, it's a much better life if you had to choose between the two.</p>
<p>Oh I see :P /************/</p>
