Pope Truth: You can not, ever, under any circumstance, incur feeling in another person. Every emotion beside the base fear and pleasure is purely felt by choice, unconscious or not. So when you say you can be offensive, what you really mean is that people tend to choose to be offended by your words. You are not in any way responsible for another person's feelings. I use to be easily angered, you wouldn't believe the fits I could throw. Then I realized that I wasn't being forced to be upset, I was choosing to do so. I no longer get angry. It's pointless and messes with my cognitive functions. :P

"Its basically just a legal drug." - Exactly. I disapprove of anything willingly put in your body that you know causes detrimental effects. As I see it, alcohol is the worst offender. It kills your liver and leads to some of the most regrettable actions a single person can undertake. If you think about how much money people spend avoiding their problems with the stuff, killing themselves in the process, then you should realize that they could spend one third of that amount in their lifetime, get better, and not suffer long term health issues if they are just willing to not take the easy way out. Smoking is bad. Drugs are bad. Alcohol is bad, made worse because like smoking, it's legal. How many jokes have been made about getting drunk and sleeping with someone you never would have? Hello STD land! This is you haven, and booze are you nirvana. What? You're only fouty and your liver has failed? Well that doesn't sound ri- ooooohhhhh, your going with the fast and easy way to deal with, oh sorry, my mistake, the fast and easy way to [b]avoid[/b] your problems. I see. Well, happy early funeral. Pope Fact: Drinking never helps, it just pretends to while killing you slowly. Or sometimes quickly! Angry girlfriend goes out, gets drunk, decides that her boyfriend's head would look good with a hole in it. Goes home, shoots hubby, then, oh no, what have I done!? Kablam. To drink, knowing what it does to your body, is foolish. Same goes for smoking. I do not apologize for speaking these truths. Please don't ever follow through with that foolish statement about drinking your stress away. Can't afford psychological help for your stress? You're in luck, I'm certified and have been a psychologist for years now. I'll help for free, just can't do meds.

Ethan will be providing just as much for Yu, even if he doesn't know it :P
