Your friends are fucking stupid, OP. This isn't the callous c/lit/ talking, this is the fucking COMMUNITY COLLEGE ATTENDER who commonly hears these words in lectures. Your "friends" are insecure about their idiocy.

Oh god, op, you don't know how humorous this is. In the book, one of the main characters is steel maker who started from the bottom and is painted as a super-intelligent, superstrong genius who is perfect in every way and not charitable cause that's immoral. It's clear that your steel professor probably saw this guy, thought: "Oh he's strong and works with steel, just like me!!", and declared the book his all-time favorite.

>"Dr. Spiegel expressed more faith in psychotherapy, especially something called response prevention and thought-stopping. "It involves training the patient to try and block the thought when it comes up," he said, "and to keep him from trying to act on it."

I wonder if this strategy would work with paedophiles.

>Sam woke around 3:30 p.m. and saw no emails from Sheila. He made a smoothie. He lay on his bed and stared at his computer screen. He showered and put on clothes and opened the Microsoft Word file of his poetry. He looked at his email. About an hour later it was dark outside. Sam ate cereal with soymilk. He put things on eBay then tried to guess the password to Sheila’s email account, not thinking he would be successful, and not being successful. He did fifty jumping jacks. “God, I felt fucked lying on the bed,” he said to Luis a few hours later on Gmail chat. “I wanted to fall asleep immediately but that is impossible. I need to fall asleep. Any second now. Just fall down asleep.”
