You've inspired me to find a woman who digs how I smell that much. That should be part of the challenge for us all. We're animals along with the emotion.

I sent Tom a PM about it, so w/e.

In my opinion, there needs to be a Politics forum sticky, like in the flash forum, etc. Something along the lines of:

Purpose

The Politics forum is intended for serious discussion of party politics and government policy. Discussions about the military, civics, science, economics, theology, philosophy, law, and current news and issues are also welcome. Topics relating to pop culture, arts, sports, entertainment, or celebrities are not appropriate, and should be placed in a more germane forum.

Rules
While all the standard BBS rules apply in this forum, there are certain extensions of those rules that should be stressed here:

»Recreating a thread that has been created recently. Do not create a thread on a subject that already has one or more threads on that subject, unless there have been updates or changes to that subject drastic enough to warrant a new thread.

»Harrassing other users by having generally negative or bitter attitude towards them. While things can get heated in any debate, and even professional pundits can some times resort to ad hominem attacks, it is important to limit calling others names, hurling insults, etc. Under no circumstances is it appropriate to follow people from thread to thread flaming them for a disagreement you had in another thread.

Guidelines & Advice

»Don't create topics for the sole purpose of your opinion. No one really cares what you think about Bush, Clinton, Democrats, Republicans, etc. We've all got opinions; if you want to share yours, do so in the appropriate existing thread, and back it up.

»Don't create topics by presenting an issue and telling people to "discuss." This is a discussion forum; as the topic starter, is your responsibility to begin the discussion by presenting your side, asking questions, etc. If you can't discuss an issue, you don't need to be creating a topic on it.

»Cite your sources. If you present a news item, include a link to the news item. If you use a statistic, have the source for that statistic ready upon demand, or ideally, cite the statistic when you post it. If you make a quantitative statement (anything that can be measured, such as statistics, etc.), it is your responsibility to back it up if the integrity of the statement is questioned.

»Use proper grammar and spelling. While there's nothing wrong with a few "LOL's" when appropriate, and we all make typos, this is a forum for serious discussion, not AOL chat. Thus, if you want to be taken seriously, you should use proper English. After all, if you can't take the effort to use proper spelling, capitalization, or to even type out the word "you" rather than "u", why should people assume that you took the effort to learn about what you are talking about?

»There's no winners or losers. While discussion often takes the form of debates, there are no winners or losers; there's nothing to gain by "winning" one of the debates, and there's nothing to lose by "losing" a debate. If you feel that you've made your point, but someone just still can't see it, don't get upset or start flaming the person. Just walk away. Similiarly, if someone stops debating you, don't assume that you've "won" just because someone is no longer debating. Moreover, if someone proves you wrong, there's no shame in admitting it, you will earn more respect in conceding a point than resorting to ad hominem attacks or changing the subject.

Anything else?

At 9/19/06 10:47 PM, IllustriousPotentate wrote: Anything else?

You'll have to forgive me for being pressing, but I think these should be mentioned, as long as you're bringing it up, these should be added on:

Rules
»If you have comments surrounding George W. Bush Jr., post them in the Official Bush topic. Link. Feel free to read the entire thread, or at least glance it over, too. We don't need the same argument repeated constantly by new users.

Guidelines & Advice
»Lurk the forum before posting. Always search the front page before posting, or if you have a subject in mind, look for a similar topic where you can express your views (after having taken ground already covered into account). A slight digression on a tangent isn't going to hurt anything, if it saves us from having a redundancy of topics.

»Be aware that there are alts out there, which were created with the soul intention of irking you, and so be conscientious of what and how you post to everyone.

I don't know what good it'll do, but this must be said.

This could get sooooo many people banned.....
I like it....

»Use proper grammar and spelling.

I think this should be a rule. With an exception to non-native English speakers of course.

»There's no winners or losers.

This should DEFINITELY be a rule.

Christ, I was making threads that suggested the same damn things like 8 months ago and got thin air for responses.

Guess I was just ahead of the curve......

What happens if I find an instance where you contradict yourself? If you disagree with BeFell A, then you're wrong, which mean BeFell B disagreeing with BeFell A is wrong, which means you can never be right!

Therefore, you don't exist.

I think the solution to this conundrum as with the answer to all questions great and small lies with with oral sex.

Is there a Curve for Her version?
Curve smells way too musky and woody for girls... although it does have a sweet floral thing going on which I think suits my personality. It sorta smells "sporty" too.

As for guys, I normally prefer their natural scent, provided their shower. I once dated a guy whose scent drove me crazy. It would linger on the bedspread for a couple of days, and I could just lie on that spot and my hormones would kick in.

This is what I'm talking about scent and memory...
Now maybe this is the gay in me talking... but scent is an "accessory" that all men should play with once in a while.

I particularly think smell is important for men.
It's a great component of sexuality, which seems to be overlooked.
I don't think there is nothing more sexy who smells like their... aura.

Today, there was this particular handsome guy in Italian... and man, he was wearing this rather strong cologne that was awsome. And it suited him so right... He was very manly with a cute tuft of hair coming out his chest. Normal looking, but he knew how to carry his body around.

I wish what his cologne was... wouldn't be part of my personality since I don't look overly macho, but just to know the name.

I dunno...
This is GQ type of stuff, so anyone wants to know their personality scent... just page through one of their older editions.

Blah blah, he's a christian, he's used to contradiction. It's like I don't even have to try anymore.

I don't drown myself in old spice...but I use it often.

I've found cheap and easy girls dig old spice, while classy chicks consider it a turn off.

And you can guess who I'm trying to impress by wearing oldspice, too.

In other news, the pressing of my 'u' key produces 'ui'. I have to backspace every time I use the letter. Please, someone tell me how to fix this.

Maybe they're stuck together somehow. I don't know what condition your keyboard is in, but you could try checking that. It's probably something simple.

First step, aim AWAY from the computer when looking at porno. Second step, get yourself either some Contact Cleaner or Canned Air from your local electronics store and spray under each key.

A woman friend of mine, accurate term and not eupthamism, asked that I wear tag when we met up last month. How does that reflect on her?

Apparently I don't get Newgrounds in my dorm, but I do on the campus wireless connection on the other side of my door.

That's something your roomate did so he could have dirty sex with men without having to share.

Get the hell out and start a relationship.

Anyways, sex isn't the important part, it's the love and trust formed by the relationship.

Or getting as many hoodrats as possible(40 Year Old Virgin LOL)

I've been trying. I have the bad habit of falling for women so riddled with daddy issues they cling to anyone who can offer a false sense of security. I did think I had a shot at making a connection with someone right at the end of summer but then school started and shit was too busy, it fizzeled out before it got the chance to begin. My main flaw is that I'm just too timid with women. It's a confidence issue I'm working out.

I had that problem but I just learned to deal with it mainly and felt how silly I was to be nervous.

Women want someone thats confident in themselves. They respect that greatly.

Anyways i'm currenlty working with a bird that works with me.

She's a senior.

Yeah good luck with that. My experience has been that if you convay all the qualities women say they want they won't see you the way you want. That's my problem. it was highlighted in my most recent song, that being that i know I have a lot of good qualities going for me but none of them are what attracts women.

Confidence, humour, reasonable good shape and kindness is all thats really needed.

I have made it far with those skills.

I've found out that girls that really go for the buff extreme in shape look are either whores or vain as hell.
