What advice would you give the future generation?

[gonesavage]

I thought about this as I was reading something funny-- Uncle Patrick's Advice to Children Not entirely PC, but funny if you don't take it seriously . An ex. from the site: When it comes time to pick out that first tattoo, remember: it doesn’t matter how much you like that one comic book. There’s always a chance that eight years later someone will make a movie of it that stars Sylvester Stallone. And you’ll be fucked.

So what advice would you give to a younger generation (funny or otherwise)?

[BrightStar]

Plant Trees whenever you cut down Trees, and Work on Space Colonizing technology, since the Earth will be destroyed when the Sun goes SuperNova.

[BrightStar]

Oh yeah, Dont Feed the Bears, and Only YOU can prevent Forest Fires!

[Neverborn]

If its that time of the month just say no, no matter how horny she tells you she is.

try to avoid falling asleep the second you come and enter the dreamlike euphric postcoital state. especially when its 3 in th afternoon and you have only a pornmag for company. you never know who might find you.

[memorydream]

Haste makes a helluva lot of waste. Age old wisdom, really, when it comes to one's own personal life or a war.

[-=Asmodeus=-]

Dont hide your porn in an Obvious Directory on your PC....Put it in the Windows Help folder and turn on the Hidden Properties for it....

Clothes do not make the man...I know a Bunch off assholes that have Nice Suits... Attitudes and Actions make the Man....

Be Different because what it Normal??? Dont be afraid to stand out...People will remember you above the rest...

Make Love not War...Unless someone takes your Girlfriend..Then Kill his ass and dip his body in acid to dispose of the evidence..

When in doubt....Fuck.

No Means Yes Sometimes...Other times it will land your ass in jail..So be carefull women are crafty creatures and you gotta be up on your game...

Never take candy from strangers....Unless you have a gun and are sure no one sees you...

Take care of the planet...For Now its the only one we have...

Respect your elders....Some of them Know what they are talking about...

When it comes to Sex....Dont be a fool...Wrap your Tool....

Above all else...Take good care of yourself and watch your back....No one else is....

[keiko]

No matter what, Be your self. Those who will mind don't matter and those who will matter won't mind.
Sing as if no one is listening, dance as if no one was watching and live each day as if it were your last.
It's better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.
You can't trust every one,
And even the fates take chances.

Those are some of my favorites, a little cliche` pehaps, but I like them.

"Dont hide your porn in an Obvious Directory on your PC....Put it in the Windows Help folder and turn on the Hidden Properties for it" -- on our computer, it's called "Pr0n"... anything less obvious than that, I don't know.

My tai qi instructor gives great advice. "Keep your mind and your eyes on reality, because then you know exactly what you're dealing with." and "Fuck what everyone else thinks. The truth is the truth, if you can see it."

Eat red meat no matter what vegetarians tell you.

[hewhoisagod]

Graduate, then start breeding, otherwise it's ok to kill you.

[memorydream]

Eat red meat no matter what vegetarians tell you.

I wonder what Mad Cows will tell their children?

[keiko]

Eat red meat no matter what vegetarians tell you.

The need to eat meat is determined by what the individual needs. My other half, was a vegan for 4 years. He then ate chicken, pork and turkey for about three years and gained almost 100 lbs. 3 weeks ago he stopped eating foul and hog, and has since lost 3 inches off his waist. I quit eating red meat about four years ago. I got incredibly healthy in those first six weeks, dropped seven dress sizes, got my panic attacks under control, I was finally able to stop wearing a heart monitor. I've never in my life been happier and healthier. But I know several people who can't survive on Soy and Whey proteins and need chicken and steak.
I can't say that I don't miss a nice London broil or some succulent ribs, but then I don't miss being a size fourteen and sick all the time.
Now what I cannot stand is this "low carb" thing. Cutting extraneous carbohydrates from the diet is one thing. But eating a bowl of sausage, ham and bacon for breakfast...well, I just never thought that eating 45 grams of fat first thing in the morning was the best way to lose weight. Besides the body needs carbohydrates. Even been near some one who's gone a day or two without any carbs? They're down right mean to the people around them! Cutting them completely is asking for an emotional breakdown and a clogged bowel system.
There, I've ranted.

[memorydream]

Keiko, I mean wow! You sure had something to say on that. You're all political and health-wise today. What next, religion? I'm, teasing.

I believe you made a very valid point on diet. I was a vegetarian for three years and found myself getting more ill, headaches and suffering from a lot of exhaustion. A family memberexperienced the same thing with a very vegetarian diet. We both have since gone back to meat and I instantly lost 10 pounds and am better able to manager my weight, I have found. I was a 145 pound meat eater who over a very short span became a nearly 200 pound vegetarian. I had a lot of behaviour problems as a vegetarian (not vegan) and much of that is now under control.

Ironically, my father who was having very similiar problems as you describe above was very successful with leaning to a more vegetarian diet.

I think it's important to listen to the "messages" of the body and pay attention to our reactions when we eat. Of course, eating to excess is bad for everyone in every situation, but many times I have found I solve a lot of physical issues with a simple change in diet. I have a lot less nightmares now, that's for sure.

Weeell, I have been studying that particular subject in dpeth since the eighth grade, almost 10 years now. :p But I don't think I'll go there today.

Thank you, though, for helping me make my point. I'm all for meat eating and vegitarians living happily side by side. Admittedly there are some (I could name at least four off the top of my head) people that insist that their diet is perfect for everybody. They remind me of the Baptists who used to cavass the street I lived on, preaching high and mighty about how you should do as they do becasue they are right.
Phooey! is all I have to say to those people.
I don't get it either. Listening to your body should be natural. You know by signs your body gives you that you need to go to the bathroom, that you're sick, that you've damaged your body in some way, why do people refuse to listen to what they're body needs to stay healthy? I've never understood it.

Joseph Campbell said the most important things in life can't be taught and he was right..as the resident Relict I wish I could tell you some advice--maybe just be good to your self and try to be good to other people or try your best---P.

[BrightStar]

People are different in most cases, which means that no Diet would be Perfect for EVERYBODY! It may suit some people perfectly, or maybe for an individual.

Well, when you go through a lot of physical hardship, it's almost like your body teaches you. With me, doing the "there and back again" with vegetarianism really makes me feel for those folks. I'd much rather discuss their viewpoints than a bunch of people who talk like rightwing gun-nuts and criticize someone for thinking "beyond the bun." The ex-wife's Dad learned the hard way at sixty-something, from his doctor: "When your body gets sick after eating all the meat you do, it's telling you: stop eating meat!"

Ironically, it was Baptists and Seventh Day Advenists who got me into reincarnation. The SDA's just made Krishna look so cool to me.

[Will Judy]

1. Never think you are friends with your dealer, and never buy in weight.
2. If she yells at you for "breaking the mood" by going for a condom, think what kind of mom/wife she'll make.
3. All sorts of things don't mix with alcohol, but the big ones are guns, driving home, and political debate. I personally would add "giving unfamiliar foodstuffs to your dog" and "sneaking kisses from people you know you can't trust".
4. Never date anyone seriously who insists that you become a vegetarian. There's nothing wrong with being a vegetarian of your own accord, but you'll always resent having it forced on you, especially since there is minimal likelihood of their agreeing to any sort of tit-for-tat concession.
5. You're never going to figure out the opposite sex. The best you can do is learn how to apologize and accept apologies sincerely.

[Tequila Zaire]

I wonder what Mad Cows will tell their children?

"Eat around the insanity, dear."

The mad cow thing is a bit insane in and of itself...anytime one pops up people go insane and act it without even touching the "bad meat".

I think their is more unhealthy action and behaviour from the Hysteria than the actual tainted meat.

[Tequila Zaire]

Moderation is the key to a good diet though. I never agreed with the whole Vegan thing cause for yours truly it just never felt right. However I know many who are hardline vegetarians and fully agree it works for some people...but I hassle them none the same just as they do me about my passion for dead animal. It's all in good fun though. But one can't make it a daily thing...gotta pace one self. This whole atkins craze is utter bullshit no matter how it's sold and even as a hardcore "Serve it in its own blood" meat eater I think it's going TOO far with some of its suggestions.

I like a nice balance of foods and work real hard not to cut too much out...but really it seems once you turn 18 a lot you need to re-evaluate your diet. I love red meat and all but you'll never find me eating a hamburger or any of the fast food stuff...I just can't handle that stuff anymore.

Like the other fella said...gotta listen to your body about what you eat.

[Sin]

Got Milk?

[gonesavage]

I've been vegetarian for a few months at a time, twice in my life. Although for others vegetarianism makes them healthier, for me, it most likely made me more anemic. I find that when I'm on a meat diet I'm not as tired, spiritless, or sleepy. I feel more vibrant when I eat meat. But that's just me.

What I really can't stand are those people who look down on you, get grossed out, or get self-righteous that I eat meat. What business is it of theirs? Different strokes for different folks.

[memorydream]

Got Milk?

Wish I did, but it's so hot where I'm at it would spoil before it gets to the car. There is another reason to visit Vegas I guess, for that supermarket thing, anyway.

On another point, Hysteria is bad, but our president uses it all the time. I think it points to something within us that we are not addressing: mainly ingorance. Meat in this country is generally fed so many hormones and has been found to be so dangerous to people (women in particular) that I think "mad cow" is analogous to the practice that we in this country really don't pay attention. It would suit me just fine if we questioned all practices in regards to our food. A lot of produce comes from countries where they use dangerous chemicals that while they may not kill us, they do harm those that work on such farms. Child slave labor is used in the manufacture of chocolate in Africa, by many major producers, and then there are trade practices we partake in (well, if it were trade in that they got something equitable, that would be trade). The list, of course, is very long and by not examining it you'll be a corpse no zombie would touch with a meat hook.

I am far more paranoid, or hysterical, over ignorance and fear, than I could ever be over one mad cow.

[Lady-Orchard]

Have some beef, it'll be alright.

[Adolfo8]

My advice would be:
Do not pay attention to the advice which I say you.

Obviously it is a cynical a trap.

[vixta]

don't judge someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes.

whenever you meet an arsehole pity them - you can walk away but they are trapped with themselves forever.

Don't pick your scabs

[Histrionica]

Some days, the best i can come up with for them is

Fuck off and die!

I try not to be around liquor or weaponry on those days.



~Histrionica~

[hargalaten]

don't be such a closed-minded fuck, don't be so quick to judgementalism, and have confidence in everything you do - if you can't then why are you doing it in the first place?

and like i learned from my grandfather, always look out for the underdog. you can really help some people out immensely, even past junior goddamn high, mainly because most people stay stuck in junior high mentally.
and that reminds me, i need to call my father in a few days... august 20th'll be 10 years since said granddad passed away... and my birthday's the 23rd, so that had made my 10th birthday pretty much the worst ever.

[Ryuken-Kai]

Advice i would give....

Remember, we weren't always like this. We were like you once, too. Don't let this happen to you.
Don't be stupid. If you aren't sure how to go about this, you have already failed.
You can't help how you feel, but you can help how you behave.
Other people aren't just a virus in shoes, they feel, just like you. So don't be a dick.

[skintwisterman]

You will fail.

You will dissappoint yourself, and others.

You will learn to work and you will learn to suffer in silence. And you will learn to want to work.

You will learn that life is about repetition interspersed with stress.

You will learn to hate memory and love tomorrow, because something nice might happen for a change.

You will become cold to the pains of relationships and die away from wanting to love. After a time, you will realize that there's a reason why you cared enough to go so cold, and you will learn to feel good about love again.

You will learn that this isn't the only, not maybe the best, nor the last relationship you will have.

You will forget the things you like and remember the things you hate.

Your hopes and dreams will remain unfulfilled. You will become used to it.

Life will not be fair. You will not get points for trying.

Get ready. It's a whole sack of bullshit and you'll see all these bad things come quick enough.

I'll be nice, though. I'll let you find out about the good things yourself.

And you'll damn well learn to appreciate them.

[Umbilical Lotus]

Just because you like something NOW doesn't mean it'll be the same in ten years. Preferences aren't set in stone.

As an addendum to that: it IS entirely possible to learn to like something you hate. It's not pleasant when you start, but if you want any happiness out of life you're going to have to get at least passable in that skill.

If you try to kill yourself, do it in a way that makes people go "HOLY FUCK! COOL!"

Learn when it's OK to compromise. On certain things, the most honorable and satisfying thing to do is to stick to your guns. On others, it's wiser and smarter to learn when to just shut up and deal. The trick is learning when is OK to do what. Standing your ground when your three-week-old significant other begins threatening to leave you if you don't become a vegetarian/stop being a vegetarian is just fine. Standing your ground when someone's pointing a gun at your face because you don't believe in lying is not.

Remember: if you like it and everyone else doesn't, it's a fetish. Enjoy.

Learn empathy. Whether you learn it to be able to manipulate people better or understand more, become aware of other people's feelings. Oftentimes, especially in the twisty horrid world of socializing, people will not say what they feel or deliberately lie just because they want the situation to feel more comfortable. This doesn't mean they're bad people, but these little mistruths will ALWAYS lead to danger later. Learn to read people. It'll never steer you wrong.

Try to recognize the difference between paranoia and prudence.

There is no such thing as unconditional love. All the ridiculous romantic notions people are brought up on are all 100% false. No knight in shining armor will sweep you up out of nowhere, and you will not be able to get a total monsterhot supermodel girlfriend without making any sort of personal compromise. You do not 'deserve' a hot mate, nor are you likely to get one, so toss that notion out right now. The most worthwhile people are often ugly, or hell, PLAIN. Don't ignore people because they don't hold up to your physical standards.

Be honest with yourself. Anything else leads to heartbreak.

Nothing's the end until you're dead. Just because something feels absolutely intolerably bad right now doesn't mean you're not going to run into something worse down the line. The person who just left you is NOT the only person who ever loved you and ever will. The job that just turned you down is NOT the best opportunity that will ever present itself to you. It might feel like it now, but every self-indulgent painful justification you're weaving around yourself is just that - a justification for feeling bad. Acknowledge loss, feel like shit, but don't lose perspective.

Pain doesn't have to scar. It's OK to feel bad, and then let it go.

The most important of all: do what you want, don't be a dick.

And finally, be nice to my grave. If you're going to have sex on top of it, mind you clean up afterwards so the next people don't have to sit in your goo.

[Cafe_Post_Mortem]

You know, a lot of people say live every day as if it was your last. If you really think about it for most people this would just mean sitting around feeling sorry for themselves. I say live every day as if it were your first.

Never trust a god that tells you what you can't eat or who you can't fuck. After all would you really want thier idea of paradise?

Always do things in sets of three. It makes people think you know what you are doing.
