all right. i haven't read this whole thread but i've read random pages here and there. i just want to clear something up. true, i did "leave" (more like just visiting less and less) because of the other people that left. but that was only the trigger to something that's been going on for a...

okay, i can't speak for the others, but i think the main problem with just leaving the member lounge if you're annoyed with someone doesn't help because it only serves to disconnect you from the community (like it did with me). the member lounge is, without a doubt, the heart of AA. i mean, if...

it all depends. but i agree with maggie in that, say, a five year age difference between teenagers is a much bigger deal than a five year age difference between adults. also, i think society (obviously) still has such a double standard when it comes to much older (or much younger) dating...

well, we're straying from abortion now, but i'm a psychology major and freud, in the nicest terms possible, was a quack. he should be credited for bringing more attention to the field of psychology, but he should also be faulted for the reason why so many people still believe in things like...

i feel really out of it. i've just heard about all of this today. but then again, i hardly ever visit the member lounge any more so i don't think i would have known had leah not informed me. and the reason i don't visit the member lounge as often is the same as leah's - too much drama (and...

saying that all teens who have aborted pregnancies are psychologically worse off because they're only "repressing" their feelings is an opinion. saying that most teens who choose to abort a pregnancy are psychologically unharmed is a fact. scientific studies have been done on this. there is...

wow. that may just be the best argument i have ever heard. "i'm right because i say i am and you're wrong because i say you are." i don't know why i didn't think of it myself. furthermore, calling people names ("fruitcake") isn't the most mature addition to an argument.

this isn't necessarily true. i believe the information you're being given is only anecdotal, not factual; one girl's story doesn't account for most girls' stories. see the quote in my previous post about the psychological well-being of adolescents who go through abortion. wow... where are...

i agree with the previous two posts. and on the same token (and i know it's been said before, but it's a good point so please don't mind me while i reiterate it), did you CHOOSE to be heterosexual? no. you just are. you can't force homosexuals to be heterosexuals anymore than you could force...

i agree. but i voted for season five because i figured seasons two and three would get lots of votes. ^_^ plus, glory was my favorite villain and "the gift" always makes me cry.

there was a lot more information on adolescent pregnancies in the chapter that's too long for me to quote. but basically, being raised by an adolescent mother (which happens 45% of the time with teen pregnancies; adoption occurs only 5% of the time) puts a child at greater risk for academic...

so i'm studying for finals next week. i was reading my adolescence textbook (adolescence, sixth edition. laurence steinberg.) and i just finished the chapter on sexuality. came across this interesting piece of information; here's a direct quote: "several studies have examined whether...

i love candles. i've got about twenty candles in my room and bathroom. i'm not so much obsessed with the fire, but more the prettiness of it all. ^_^ and of course, the nice scents. i love the store illuminations. i always go in it but have yet to buy anything from it because it's so damn...

i love seeing victor garber laugh. it's just so... un-jack. he snorts!! and i did notice him twitching after he pointed it out. :lol: yeah, i loved all those clips of jg falling or running into something. that one where she tripped and mv tried to catch her was great. and poor ethan...

i'm always trying to get other people to get into alias, but i gotta face it - there's no way i'm going to get someone to sit down for 53 hours worth (so far) of alias episodes. so if you could show only ONE episode of alias, which would it be and why? hopefully the episode you show will be...
