Hi Strive, I appreciate you answering my question, and has ended my curiosity in regards to life experience/jadedness.
For the record, I'm 26 years old. I'd always assumed you were young because you always fight with Rob and bag him about being "old", but technically you and Rob are around the same age.
Interesting...

Oh ok, that's fair enough, I just turned 26 last week, and Jak turns 20 next month. As she's mature and studying law (ie. highly intelligent), and I'm a dumbass immature drop kick video gamer, our maturity's balance out to where both at about 22 years old. So I guess that puts you closer to the 24-25 mark. Speaking of calculating figures, Jak's brother's best friend was on Deal or No Deal not long ago, and he won $50 on the very last case. Talk about crappy figures !!!

I don't think age is a factor in what bad things happen to us or not. Sometimes the worst things happen early in life.
I just think that the politico-speak was less casual than the original question deserved - and I'm not really trying to break your back about it, Strive. It's just funny is all. I wasn't saying one thing or another about the basic message behind your post.

Of course Hitler, Mao, etc... gained power from their own people, under the guise of nationalistic pride combined with promises of a better life... hence they only had to be nice to people that kissed their ass, while eliminating/assassinating their opponents.
That doesn't really work in western-style democracies.. it just makes the person look like a crazed megalomaniac.

My attempts at creating e-drama with a thread have FAILED.

Nice guys are awesome. When women finally give up their addiction to drama guys who have too many problems thinking they need to "save" them- then they see how special nice guys are. We should blast the negative connotation of "nice guys"
I've had the drama guys and they are jerks
NICE GUYS #1!!!!!!

Oh and Rob is close to 40. He is no where near early 30's. Sorry, I have met Rob about 6-7 times and can vouch that he is still on the lower side of 30s. He thinks he is old, but I still think of him as a young kid.

Did you reach over and have a look at Rob's driver's license while he was in the shower, Strive? Tricky, tricky.

Listen to Aznlatina Gmark90
anyway I want to post something I heard when I was a kid "You can tell a good boy by the way he treats his mother".
I reckon if a girl really wanted to know how suitable a guy is for boyfriend or even husband potential she should pay attention to how the guy treats and speaks about his mother. Because at first he may have this good guy farce until once the relationship is well established may revert to his most realistic personality for a mutual relationship, which should be the mother son relationship of appreciation & nurturing.
Its difficult to understand others when they cannot even understand their own emotions or behaviour, I also doubt people can be the best judge of their own character to say they are good or bad.

Norman Bates was quite attentive to his mother, you know.

And you base this on what? Have you seen his passport, his drivers liscence? Sorry, but what are you basing YOUR opinion on? Did you hire a private detective to do research or are you one of the stalkers yourself?

I based it on visual cues. I base it on the visual factors that a person of that age range would have. You? Just because you put a "?" behind a statement dosen't make it appropriate, Jefe. I based ZERO on visual cues, but after about 30-35 hours of direct face to face conversation where we discussed many aspects of our backgrounds and history and hundreds of direct EAN interchanges between us and reading thousands of our respective posts over 5-6 years. Admittedly, I did not request to see his passport (I think he has several), but I may have indeed seen his HK ID card -- I am not 100% sure about this. We discussed how many years he has been in HK, his family background and the direct implication it has on his documentation. I have a lot more confidence in my intelligence gathering over 5-6 years than visual cues from a few snapshot pics. I have found no inconsistencies in his statements and evidence. If it is indeed all made up he must have gone to a great deal of trouble to fabricate everything up or he is simply a spy. If he is a spy, then I would put zero confidence in the visual cues you allude to. Please do not judge whether my statement was appropriate until you look at what you just did. You suggested that I was basing it on his looks (which was far from the truth) YET admitted that you based purely on visual cues (= his looks?). By doing that you simply erased any credibility that may have afforded you. I just find it funny that someone who is so arrogant, over the internet, who has been shown to be so completely and utterly wrong can still retain their arrogance. Yeah, funny, isn't it?
