>Women peak in their mid-late teens
That's when the ride on the cockcarousel starts and by then it's too late. It has nothing to do with attraction but the optimum time for men to bond with a girl to ensure not only a successful relationship but the best conditions overall.

Are you a moslem or something? Dogs are wonderful creatures.

>A hard-working employee of a company called Tokyo Ad, Hanio was paid well and in no particular difficulty or distress. Reading the evening paper, “he had hit on the idea of suicide, as if he were planning a picnic. If he were forced to come up with a reason, he could only conclude that he had attempted to end it all on a complete whim.” Flipping through the pages, he drops the paper on the floor. When he stretches out to pick it up, he finds a cockroach perched on the page. The insect scurries off, but when he looks at the paper again all the letters on the page turn into cockroaches and he thinks: ‘‘‘So the world boils down to nothing more than this.’ It was a sudden revelation. And it was this insight that led to an overwhelming desire to die.”

here's a picture I find quite comfy, guys. the unwashed dishes, nice green grass, unused trampoline and shed, cool animals hanging around, cold chips on a plate. hope you guys like it (:

My vote for comfiest book, I read 'selected stories' by Kjell Askildsen recently, he's a Norwegian writer, kind of dirty realism type stuff. I read a lot of his stories in the morning drinking coffee, they're real nice. unfortunately I think the 'selected stories' collection I got is the only stories of his translated to English, so I guess I gotta learn Norwegian if I want to read more. His stories are often about siblings hanging out, sharing a bottle of wine, walking around looking at fjords, smoking cigarettes in bed, that sort of thing, quite nihilistic often

what are your opinions of eachother?

are there any major division on here?

what other boards do you go to?

How do you atheists go day to day without having faith? I just don't get it. An existence without God just seems so depressing and bleak. Either I'm right and you are going to die and burn in hell, or you're right and you'll be gone forever and you life will have meant nothing.

How do you live with yourselves?
