Wait a second, I thought that profanity was prohibited in the forums? Anyway, I also just got a new car. I had to get rid or my 1998 M Roadster to get it though. I traded it for a 2000 M5 sedan. Michael_T thinks I lost my mind, since he drives one also. He told me I should have kept it so that we can switch cars. He said, and I quote, " Why the hell did you do that for babe. I have an M5, you have an M Roadster. WE COULD HAVE BORROWED EACH OTHER'S CAR!!! YOU DIDN'T NEED TO TRADE THE ROADSTER!!!" I think that he is a bit addictive to cars, among other things...

Justin, I still think that you were temporarily insane when you traded your M Roadster for the the same model BMW I drive. I would have let you borrow my car, you know. Anyway, that used Peugot sounds interesting. I would have someone check out that car to see if it's a lemon. You never know until it could be too late.

Oh well, just get me a BMW Z8 and I'll be happy

I know it sucks, my parents would only let me buy two cars. Justin on the other hand can own 4 cars. Oh, if you guys think that we seem like spoiled, I stress out that I PAID for the cars and the insurance. Justin also PAID for the car and pays for the insurance. So the money comes out of our pocket.

Not to offend, but I really can't feel sorry for someone who is only allowed to own two cars. *sarcasm mode off*

Especially when they can afford to buy 4. And what in Charles' name would ya want with 4 cars? Worried about getting really fat and having to sit across the front seats of all of them or something?

Jeez, I'm overdrawn and have still gotta buy Christmas presents, and let's not think about New Year's.

It's changed now. After finding out more about the sex-life of bearded people than I want to know, it's abit less harmful now.

So, what exactly do you do Michael? Or what does Justin do that having 4 cars isn't a burden, but a necessity?

Michael and I are students, in high school. As for our former occupations, Michael worked for a computer company where he assembled and fixed computers. He also did CGI and created web pages. He also was a computer tutor to those who don't know how to turn on thier machines. As for myself, I used to create programs for companies and was an intern for a software company.

You know, it's nice to have money and it's nice to have good cars, and I don't deny that I'd LOVE to have some spare cash and a better car than the freaking 1985 Ford Tempo I'm driving into the ground... however, and MAYBE I'm way off the target here, but I think that having 2 cars is frivelous enough, but 4 is absurd. Maybe it's the way I've been raised, maybe it's because I'm not big on material things, but seriously.. .there are much better things to do with money than buy so many cars so young.... but that's just my opinion. *shrug*

Ahh...when did Justin or I say we each owned more than one car? I said we COULD, not that we are. Our parents placed that clause because they know that Justin and I can't be stupid enough to own more than one car, especially in Los Angeles. Besides, I'm not gonna pay high insurance costs for more than one car. I also buy my own stuff, like all my computers and clothes and Star Trek stuff, and porn.

Oh. Porn. Great. The root of all goodness in the world, right?

Just so you know, what you put in, and what you see, it DOES affect you, and it DOES change who you are, and no matter WHAT you may try to think and say, that's fact and there's no changing it. If it wasn't fact, then we wouldn't have millions of dollars being spent on advertising each year.

And just so you know, good people DO get sucked into bad things. And bad people get sucked in too, and it just makes me SO upset to know that people can sit around and think that they're not going to be affected by looking at porn or other questionable things. You're GOING to be affected. And your views are going to change. And you're attitudes will change. And the way you look at people around you will change, and eventually....

*shakes head with tears in her eyes*

.... nevermind..... I was just going to say that eventually people will get hurt. Hurt in ways that you can't even begin to understand or imagine. But I doubt anyone will listen to me or want to hear it anyway, so I'm going to just go now..... I'm sorry to offend.... but sometimes things just hit home, and sometimes things are just so STUPID and upsetting..... but again... I'm going to stop now..... *sigh*

Er Liz, you okay?

Besides, porn's like cannabis. It's far better for you than opium.

er, as a morale that got a bit lost, but there you go.

Still, Gary Glitter eh? What a card...

Liam: Actually, as I discovered soon after my previous post, she isn't particularly alright. I think blaming it on porn is a bit of a stretch, but... Well, you don't want to hear about it. And, even if you do, I'm not going to tell you...

Posted by LOA (Member # 49) on :
 
I don't think it's a bit of a stretch at all. Maybe this stuation wasn't about porn... maybe it was.... I don't know, I don't have the details. However, there are NUMEROUS other situations that are affected by porn outright. And there is nothing you can ever do to change my opinion of that. Not now, not ever... but especially not now.....

Don't worry. I learned long ago that the human body is a shameful, evil thing to be hidden from all. Oh, did I learn.

I had something else to say, but I lost it.

Oh, right, Liam deserves a big "na na na na naaaa HEY" for this thread.

Well, would you people rather have my boyfriend do drugs or drink heavily instead of looking at porn then? I'd rather have him look at porn than do either of the other two things.

Baloo: If you'd like to open the topic in the Flameboard, that's fine with me. Odds are good that at some point I'll end up posting, and odds are also good that when I post I'll be rather bitter sounding.

However, at this point in time, I think that it's REALLY best that I not be the one to start the topic, because right now I'm dealing with some stuff. Big stuff. Huge stuff. Stuff that is life changing. And because of it, I seem to have developed an attitude as of late..... especially on subjects that are related to such stuff. And porn happens to fit into that.... sooo.......

Anyway..... I'm going to go attempt to sleep now... odds are slim that it'll happen, but you never know.
