Hey Joe, sorry to burst your little bubble, but you do realise it was Japan and Germany who declared war on the US, right?
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Ive asked this before. Joining the Army

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

ohhh myyy goddd WHO CARES
listen man dont bother with this politics horseshiit and conspiracy theory people are pissing here. from me to you, listen to me now. go if its BEST FOR YOU. dont worry about whether george bush saw we needed oil and decided to declare a fuccking war over it (unlikely). just accept that you'll be fighting for your country, and if you feel its what you need at this point in your life (military life will change your perspective) then DO IT.
and PLEASE dont get dragged down in this bullshiit debate that has nothing to do with your decision.

There are 2 reasons why he would want to go to iraqdannowillbookem said:
1. help his country and the war effort (whether the reasons for the war are good or not)
2. get the training/benefits/pay, IT IS A JOB!
To those that say he shouldn't go because it isn't an honest war and it would be worthless to go because of it, what if he wants to do it for the money and the training? There are a lot of people in Iraq that don't support the reasons for going to war but they are there because IT IS A JOB! Thousands work in Walmart/GAP outlets even if they detest the use of sweatshops by those companies, but then again they are not there to protest they are there working to make money.
I bet most of you bashing the war because you say the real reason is "to make greedy corporations richer," I bet you have shopped at Walmart, GAP or other places in your life where companies use dirty tactics such as sweatshops to enrich themselves. So you are hypocrites, we all are hypocrites.
I wanted to join to get the military training which is known for straightening out slackers and turning boys into men. It would do wonders for a lazy slob like me
but Im afraid of war and I don't know if I could kill someone so I wouldn't go. Although if Iraq wasn't the real life wild wild west it is now I would probably go. I might think about it a year or 2 from now if things have cooled down over there. I would go to Afghanistan where things are more calm but I dont think they let you chose where you get to go.Just think about what is good for you and then make your decision.

exactly. dont let ted kennedy's most recent comments influence you between a life of straightlace/studying and a life of adventure/risk. politics is shiit, most of them are fake power hungry fools. focus on what you need.Joe The Homophobe said:

Conspiracy theories?dannowillbookem said:
Ever watch the news? It's the same **** we are repeating to him.
Just so I know, exactly which parts are conspiracy?
Killibng of civilians, roadside bombs, soldiers coming back with horrible wounds, contractors getting their share of Iraq to "rebuild" as they see fit.
Which part is the "conspiracy"? I would really like to know.
And as for it not being an honest war, I bet the guy will feel real good knowing he killed lots and lots of people all in the name of his country's corporations. Real good.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

The idea of killing people to improve your own rock-bottom self-esteem, or as a way to 'get back' at people who've made you feel inferior throughout the years is motive that would echo resoundingly with the majority of twisted, psychopathic serial killers out there.
