And on that topic, how can we hope to achieve self esteem through accomplishments when, really, the question as to why we're here has never been answered? It's all subjective, really. If we do not know our ultimate purpose in life, then one could argue that it is difficult to achieve any sense...

You obviously have drastically different ideas on vanity than I do. A simple declaration of thinking oneself to be attractive is apparently vain. Me, I just think it's honest and shows self-confidence. Hey, if you wanna walk around either with no confidence or with false modesty, be my guest...

So if rating yourself is stupid in the first place, why did you bother clicking on this thread? It's just a harmless thread for fun. My god. The people who gave themselves high ratings....are actually pretty hot, I'd say. And good for them that they know it. Everyone should feel that great about...

Sweet god, that would end in blood and tears.

But no one is making lots of posts about how uber sexy hot they are. It's just a thread about rating your looks on a scale of one to ten. She's trashing people for rating themselves highly, which is just stupid. That's not being vain, that's having confidence.

Yeah, but this isn't a thread of "what do you hope to accomplish with your life and in doing so, build self esteem?" This is a thread of "how hot do you think you are?" And people are going to give honest opinions. Quite frankly, if they think they're 8 or 9, or even 10, good for them. I'm happy...

You can cut the sexual tension with a chainsaw. :gasp:

I agree with VR. There's nothing wrong with being slightly vain. Honestly, humans are extremely vain and self-centered creatures. Don't even bother arguing. For the majority of people, it's true (yes, there are exceptions). Having confidence in how you look can really raise self-esteem. Not to...

Sadly I've heard this song before :monster: And ya srsly, Soulja boy needs to supersoak this ho.

I voted for L. He's definitely my favorite character. Yeah, I've heard the theory that he's mildly autistic or has Asperger's. He's really intelligent, but also really quirky and interesting. I just about cried when he told Light that he'd never had a friend before. I freaking hated Light...

Happy Birthday! Now go! Buy cigarettes, lottery tickets, porn, and random crap from TV!

Your debating, to use a phrase that I've come to like, is filled with lots of ad hominems. All you seem to be doing is attacking me, and not offering a whole lot of evidence to your points. At least I do both. Oh, and fyi, I took classes at Harvard and got As. :neomon: Kthx. It doesn't take...

I'm not a keyboard warrior. You are ignorant. I'm just calling it like I see it. That site was a culmination, according to the site, of a three week LAW course. And it was last updated in 1999. That's almost ten years ago. I think the studies I provided (which were actually done by people who...

Oh god. The ignorance is choking me. First off, MDs don't have PhDs, lol. K? And I can cite a bunch of scientific studies (one: Donald Tashkin, M.D., Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA in Los Angeles) that found absolutely no link between cancer and smoking pot...

ololololol. You don't think alcohol can destroy brain cells? I have some interesting news for you: it sure can. In fact, my grandfather developed dementia due to his alcoholism. I'd argue that alcohol is worse for your health and more dangerous than pot. You can OD on alcohol. Alcohol also...

As entertaining as one liners in the 'forum for serious discussions' are, maybe you should elaborate on your thoughts. Or, y'know, support them somewhat. I don't see how this is a "new era" at all. It's just another war, quite honestly. This western civilization vs eastern civilization battle...

Oh boy. Okay, the Iraq War was not a retaliation for the 9/11 attack. The United States, after 9/11, sent troops to Afghanistan (and bombed Afghanistan) and drove the Taliban out of power. I would say that was the reaction to the 9/11 attacks. It's not surprising that the United States is unable...

Okay, this isn't gang up and say nasty stuff about Saudi Arabia time. I think we're just trying to point out that Saudi Arabia is by far one of the most western-friendly countries in the middle east. And while it's true that they are a large oil exporter, it's not out of the love of charity...

Hm, it seems to me that the Iraq War began in 2003. And well, it also seems like in 2003, Bush approved economic sanctions against Mugabe. I can't say much about the UK, because I don't know very much about UK politics. I also don't know too much about Zimbabwe, other than what is happening at...

So. If you're going to make ridiculous statements, you're going to have to be able to back them up with empirical proof. So, with what regimes that commit mass human rights violations is the United States friendly? Last I checked, Saddam Hussein was beyond tyrannical; he was guilty of using...
