    I was born to Jewish parents, sent to Catholic school where I became a Catholic. I gave up religion when I went off to college. Becuase I grew up poor, I didn't have a car until I graduated college and therefore never went on a single date until I graduated. So as you can see, I need all the help I can get when it comes to dating so that's why I use NLP to get women, although I will seek psychoanalysis to improve my personal skills. :)

Worked well for a couple years, then finally the engine seized and i junked it. I probably should have tried to repair it; just didn't have the time or money at that point. Old as the hills it was, must have been in heavy use until the very end... they just don't make 'em like that any more. So, are you looking to sell?

            datetsplensit Seriously though, religion fucks up loads of people and being poor sucks. "Religion is based on faith, and faith is immune to logic. Therefore, it's impossible to have a logical conversation about religion." -Christopher Duncan, CP Lounge

              Ok, I'll bite. Well Josh seems to have taken the line of conversation I was planning to, so I'll have to stick with my last remaining thoughts: Martin Marvinski wrote: I was born to Jewish parents So. Martin Marvinski wrote: sent to Catholic school So. Martin Marvinski wrote: I became a Catholic So. Martin Marvinski wrote: I gave up religion when I went off to college So. Martin Marvinski wrote: I grew up poor So. Martin Marvinski wrote: I didn't have a car until I graduated college... So. Martin Marvinski wrote: ...and therefore never went on a single date until I graduated So. (side note: so you need a car to go on a date in modern-day USA do you? bollocks!) Martin Marvinski wrote: So as you can see, I need all the help I can get... I deliberately removed the end of your quote as I don't think it is at all relavant. Stop trying to rationalise yourself to yourself - it gets you nowhere. If you get off of your damned ego for long enough you will find that life is a hell of a lot more fun. And, really, it doesn't take any effort at all, and certainly does not require money.

Especially in college... where I went, hardly ANYONE had a car. I had one only my Senior spring, and that was to get to interviews and back. Grantd, having the car increased my popularity quite a bit. :-D Even if you win the rat race, you're still a rat.

                                  Hmm: I've always found taxis provide a much better service, and don't endanger those around me if I want to drink. The answer is no, and you know it is no (if you'll pardon all the no's ;P) You just keep telling yourself "yes" though if it makes you feel any better about your life before your first car or to justify the purcase of your last one.

                                      So, if I kept on talking about sleeping with goats... Could one suspect that I am lying about actually sleeping with them? :confused: :) Jeremy Falcon Imputek "..." - Paul Watson  07-17

                                        Strangely, living where I do, the issue is not quite so clear. :omg:

                                          Ok, I'll bite. Well Josh seems to have taken the line of conversation I was planning to, so I'll have to stick with my last remaining thoughts: Martin Marvinski wrote: I was born to Jewish parents So. Martin Marvinski wrote: sent to Catholic school So. Martin Marvinski wrote: I became a Catholic So. Martin Marvinski wrote: I gave up religion when I went off to college So. Martin Marvinski wrote: I grew up poor So. Martin Marvinski wrote: I didn't have a car until I graduated college... So. Martin Marvinski wrote: ...and therefore never went on a single date until I graduated So. (side note: so you need a car to go on a date in modern-day USA do you? bollocks!) Martin Marvinski wrote: So as you can see, I need all the help I can get... I deliberately removed the end of your quote as I don't think it is at all relavant. Stop trying to rationalise yourself to yourself - it gets you nowhere. If you get off of your damned ego for long enough you will find that life is a hell of a lot more fun. And, really, it doesn't take any effort at all, and certainly does not require money.

                                          To explain Donald Knuth's relevance to computing is like explaining Paul's relevance to the Catholic Church. He isn't God, he isn't the Son of God, but he was sent by God to explain God to the masses.
