Mythologicly

I'll always look back on my past, just to see how far I've come along in the futer and to remember the decisions that made me who I am.

I like it... Alot i got lost at some points as well but other than that i liked it.

I hve tree nick names. One is Alex which i got from my middle name being Alexander. The second one is poet which was given to me because I write poetry. The last one is Handz which igot from boxing.

well time to say my hobbies poetry, writing, sports, anime, video games, and anything fun.

I have been on the boards for some years now after being banned a numerous amount of times but now coming back after being away for awhile I?ve missed so much :animecry: and just wanted to know about some of the new people.

what you feel is love under my oppinon but if you feel this strongly for her than take your chances just dont force the subject cause she might feel like a rock in a hard place when it comes to you. so do what you gotta do

As far as I?m concerned there?s nothing wrong with being a virgin. Something of the same has happened to me with my cousin. I caught my cousin in his room with a nice looking girl and they were getting ready to have sex cause he was naked and she was getting undressed. When I caught them I told the girl to leave and I talked to my cousin he?s 13 and he said he was doing it to be cool. I only asked him if he was going to use a condom and he said that aint cool and that?s when I gave him the talk and asked him if he still wanted to have sex he said yes so we went to the clinic and got some condoms. That was all I could for just make sure it was what he wanted to and make sure he was having safe sex.

All I can say is just tell the truth and pray to god that they believe you and your friend. Don?t worry though these things have a way of working them selves out.

[QUOTE=Gavin][SIZE=1]Mythologicly I am seriously questioning the nature of your situation here if you claim your friend or you (the story seems to vary) is in so dire a situation they/you were unaware about aid provided by charities or churches. On top of that, unless your local bus service charges an absolute fortune for it's usage, I'm pretty sure it's going to cost significantly less than the cost of dinner. On top of all of that, if it is you who are in this situation, as you seem to indicate from the above quote, then what the hell are you doing running up your phone bill using the internet ? There are such little things called priorities. [/SIZE][/QUOTE] I think awhlie back I said I dont live like that any more and as far as my friends go there both dead now do to what we were arguing about. Now to explain When I was 14 I was moved out of my old place and lived with my grandparents. Months later my mom got a good job were moving pretty soon. This is they turning point we started getting things llike the internet just last year and now I volunter at a rec center in my old neighborhood to stop kids from doing such things I relized that I have done much wrong and I dont want those kids to do the same. And there was no charitiy thiing were I use to live so I'm trying to get one started to help those who were like me and my freinds I want to give people a chance to find hope. :animesigh The that answer your question.

[quote name='Big Sky][SIZE=1][COLOR=Gray]Extremists are, by design, nutters. Wether they're religious extremists or the opposite, anyone who believes so strongly in something that absolutely nothing - not even concrete, absolutely irrefutable proof - could change their mind is an absolute fool. That's just the way it is. [/COLOR'][/SIZE][/quote] I dont think thats true there can be people who strongly agree in something and not be complete fools.But if he acts like he the greatest thing in the world thin he's nutts. :animestun

If i fought someone with martial arts skill I wouldn't try to wrestle them I would stick to boxing but it doesn't matter what there able to do or what I'm able to it would depend on skill alone. ;)

[QUOTE=Rachmaninoff]Or so he tells you. I've yet to run into a charity that outright refuses someone who needs food, unless they have nothing left in their food banks to give. :animesigh And not mentioning them is a cop-out as well. They do exist and they do their best to help provide for people who don't have any food for themselves or their families.I understand what you are saying, the problem and mind you this is only from a few people I know, some people are so embarrased that they can't provide for their family they would rather steal than ask for help. And for some people their religion provides charity. The LDS church has food storehouses that any member can go to their leader, present the problem and he'll give them a voucher to go there and get food, enough to feed their family anywhere from say a week to several months depending on the need. But again, I've run into people who refuse to go even though their kids are starving.You just don't get it, lots of people have been in bad situations and never resorted to stealing to make ends meet. Or mugging someone else to take their money to buy food. The only way I would even consider such an act is after I went to every charity organization I could find and got turned down. And even then, I would have trouble thinking it was okay to hurt others just to feed myself when I wouldn't be able to determine if stealing from them wouldn't put them in the same situation.[/QUOTE] No you dont get it. I diddn't go to curch and on top of that I diddn't know about any and frist you would have to know about a charity to go to it. And even if I did how was i going to get there drive in the car we diddn't have or should I use money to ride the bus but isnt that the money for dinner so we can eat.

[quote name='Gavin][SIZE=1']I know what you're getting at Farto, and most people would imagine they could catch a kick before it impacts, but in all reality, the better trained guys could kick you in the head before you've even realised it. [/SIZE][/quote] Wait a minuite i box and now i\I'm learning a bit of wrestling but i just wanted to say that cause I beat the the team captain in a match :animesmil that will teach him to take my GF. But any way if we fought not that i want to no offence but if you did a kick to my head I could most likly block it and if not that dodge and then why your of balance come up with a combo of powerful haymakers with some quick jabs.

I have to ask a question for those who disagree iwth me on this subject. Have any of you ever been in a situation were you have to commit a crime. Nothing as bad as murder but have you ever had to steal anything or mugg some one or even commit a robbery just to make even for your famliy. I have even though its somthing I'm not proud of but i dont live that way any more yes :D. I'm not saying you should try it and I'm not asking for sympathy but instead of being in the victums shoes try seeing from the attackers ppoint of view, if it was you would you commit a crime to survive.

[QUOTE=Lunox][color=dimgray] Can you think of more than five businesses that have been run down by common thieves? If you can, than disregard this, but I can't think of any. And that's not even the main point. So many of you are boiling this down to a moral thing and disregarding the social aspect of it. First of all, for people to be stealing for survival they'd have to be living in the worst conditions. Unless you're living in a poverty-stricken slum that is home to major social issues, bringing up examples of how many charities your community has doesn't do anything. I'm not saying I know everything about slums/ghettos, but I'm pretty sure you can't just say "go to your local soup kitchen" and leave your argument at that. The charities available in such places are probably overrun and few. Operating charities is easier to do in places like suburbs and small towns, but when you really dig down and reach the worst living conditions there just aren't going to be as many. Not to mention, living in such conditions perpetuates racial and social stereotypes that lead to decisions like robbing or becoming a drug dealer. Really, bringing up charities and organizations is sort of a cop-out to me.[/color][/QUOTE] Thats whats I've been trying to say but diddn't have the right words, in certain areas like mine charites dont help.

Man I'm the only one who hasn't learnd a style of martial arts :animecry:. As far as liking to fight goes i love fighting not street fights but play fighting. Me and my freinds go to the body alot, and at times if someone brings the gloves to school while all be in the back boxing. I'm sure everyone benn play fighting since the begining of birth.

I made this thread based on a conversation that my and my freind had on the bus. The whole thing was about fights i said that at least manly everyone has been in a fight or will get in a fight, and if not that they have at leats seen one fight. And she basicly disagreeded with me as she always does. But any i would still like to ask my fellow members of the OB how many fights have you been in and how many have you seen. (If you've been in a sport were you had to fight please tell me the sport and put how many.) I use to box.I've boxed 50 matches and i've only lost 10. Out side of that i've only been in 10 fights but i've seen at least 100 fights(not exsasurating.) thats about it for me i'm sorry if i spelled anything wrong.

There is always an alternative. I refuse, point-blank, to accept that selling drugs was the only option. And I'll just reiterate my earlier question, where did he get the drugs from in the first place? They got the drugs from other dealers, you know big pays little guy to work for him so he wont have to do it himself. It's terrible that your friends have had such hard times, but there are charities and government initiatives whose only purpose in existence is to help people in their situation. Poverty affects far too many people in the so-called 'civilised' world but I'm not going to start justifying theft and dealing because of it. Diddn't i say that he couldn't get any help weather its coming from the goverment or charity . The justice system is built on equality, and if you start saying "okay, Mr White would go to jail for stealing a loaf of bread but Mr Black gets off scot-free from the exact same offence just because he's poor" then you're going to get outrage, discrimination and eventually everything crashing down around your ears.[/QUOTE] I diddn't say anything about race in this conversation i know pleanty of white boy's who live the same way. And besides its not like there's any discrimination going on in the world today.

[SIZE=1] [COLOR=Gray] And? Maybe it's time those people grew up and got a real job. Maybe not a great job, but start somewhere, work your way up to respectabilty, rather then hanging around on the bottem rungs of society feeling sorry for themselves. Plus by letting these people deal drugs they just add to the problem, creating more people with no jobs and no money and families to support. [/COLOR][/SIZE] Let me tell you about some friends of mind wich is why i did this thread. first antonio he was 13 years old he had no money and he was running out of food. His mom was always gone and doing god knows what when she was away and he diddn't even know who his dad was. So he stole food from stores and it was never even fancy food just things like chips,pops,etc. And one day he was couaght and got i think 3 years in DH and it was all because his mom was a loser and it was the only way to survive. and no one even stoped to ask the mom any questions. My second on devon he was 12 years old his dad died when he was five the mom spent most of her time partying and sleeping around after his death. He had 3 briothers and 2 sisters to rise and he was to young to work so all he could do was sell drugs to make a living. And its not like he was living like scareface or anything he only made enough to help his family out. Even though his dead now its not his folt that his life came out that way.

[QUOTE=Raiyuu]Edited thread title. Use capitals and spell things right in future. By your logic all any drug dealer would have to do is claim he has no other job and he'd be allowed back on the streets to sell drugs, giving current addicts higher dependency and creating new addicts, contributing to an ever-spiralling vortex of drug-fuelled despair. And if said drug dealer genuinely had no other means of income, where's he getting his drugs from? Not to mention your logic fails utterly when applied to other situations. Sorry I killed your mum, I needed her purse because I had no money. Sorry I broke into your house, I needed your TV to sell because I have no money. I'm onyl doing it to survive, honest guv'nor. There are charities dedicated to providing food, warmth and shelter for the homeless, so in the end selling drugs or killing grannies is never, ever the only possible recourse. Yes, raising a family is hard with no money, so if you've got no money give your little sailor a raincoat and you can put off having a family until you have a job.[/QUOTE] for the first part i understand what your saying, but to tell if that dealer is telling the truth just check to see if there lieing. any way the charities dedicaded to food, warmth, etc. only help few cause i know many people who hae been turned down for things like that. Also most people i know who have sold drugs alredy had families and had to support them on there own with no job.

I love YYH its one of my favorites i only wish that it was longer there was only like six sagas they could have at least made more than that for such a good anime.

I would like to ask you if you think its ok to commmit a crime just to survive. When i say this i mean should a person be arested for selling drugs if its the only job they could do and they used the money to support there famliy. I say its ok, and a person shouldn't be commited for a crime if its there only option cause life is hard and trying to rise a family with no job or to young to work makes it even harder. so what do you think.

I've chaged from being a bad kid to a some what gowon i dont get in that much fights any more and i stay out of trouble mostly. I'm getting good grades, my poetry has gotten better and i've proved it matter were you come from as long as your going some were.

As a black man i would like to thank you for at least learning to except other races in the south. I understand were your coming from i have family that live in the south and its the same with them white and black both have problems. All i can tell you is the same i told them get your country ***** up and have some fun with us city folk.(no offence) any way if you want to major in it then go for it and move awy and go to a pplace were its possible for you to learn free of judgement.

I personally dont have any problem with the fact that people are meeting each other on the internet. I think that its cool instaed of dorky even though i haven't met anyone on the internet or talked to but some day i will.
