One of these days I will respond to these, when I'm not drowning in college work. Just posting this here to let you know I am not dead, lol.

Looking forward to it :P

What's Bothering You?

You are undeniably right. And I wouldn't argue with you at all. I'd merely like to bring out a problem with that. She constantly talks to me, and it's hard to let her be. We pretty much established that I would be her next boyfriend. Her current boyfriend is a dick, but he never does anything to her. So out of respect for them, I have been holding myself back. One thing I have a problem with is that we talked for two days straight while she had a boyfriend. It makes me ask myself "Why wouldn't she do the same thing to me?" I genuinely feel like we do have a special synergy, but maybe it means more to me than it does to her.Her boyfriend started sizing me up after school once. I may openly be a 'nerd', but I'm not a wimp. So I threw my arm over his shoulder and started strolling for a second, establishing that he would not be intimidating me at all. As opposed to simply beating the living shit out of him for sizing me up like that. So that is a tricky spot for me. The only reason I didn't beat him into submission is because she was watching. Sometimes I wish I did anyways.I was bullied as a young child, so showing mercy against people trying to intimidate me is excruciatingly difficult. I have a tendency to tackle anyone partaking in bullying on an impulse. It's the only impulse I have that I don't bite back.

Ok. To put this bluntly, you're in a trap and your best move is to get out of there. Note I speak from having been in the exact same situation multiple times before.

First, you already have worries that if she would do this when she has a boyfriend nothing stops her from doing it when with you. That is a legit and true worry.

Secondly, if she honestly thought you were a good boyfriend preferable to her current one she would of left him for you by now.

This is not saying you are not a better boyfriend. But she doesn't value you as one and its better to not have her take advantage of you like that.

My suggestion is to pass on her and wait for someone else. This has all the same warning signs my past relationships did that ended terribly. I'm just hoping that you don't have to suffer the same way I did.

Good luck.

Also, I completely relate to wanting to beat up someone who is a total dick and tries to Intimidate others. I personally have 0 patience for such people.

Good on you for not doing it though. Violence only would of made things worse for all three of you. Its always best to avoid throwing fists if you can help it. The world needs less fighting in it, not more. Double when relationships are part of the equation.

Walking Dead

I want to see who they cast as Euron and Victarion, although I think that's season 5. But goddamn, I need my squids.

stuff

I liked the first season a lot. In fact that was my favourite.
They stuck as a group, they wandered, and each episode has a new plot, story and theme to it.
Since season 2 once you got one plot hook you knew that was the ride for the whole season.

I might need to look at the comics at some point.
But honestly as far as Walking Dead I like the game far more than the show anyways.

Walking Dead

I still follow the show.

*SPOILER WARNINGS, DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU'RE CAUGHT UP IN THE SHOW*

Thoughts

I found season 3 to be pretty weak, and definitely my least favourite.
They focused way too much on the Governor's colony and Andrea being a complete idiot.
Plus... the way they ended season 3 just turned the Governor into somewhat interesting to... Just bad.

Luckily season 4 did some justice and made him somewhat interesting again, but he was killed off before they could get too deep into it which bugged me.
Season 3 left me wanting to ditch the show, but I'm glad I didn't since season 4 is picking it up again.

My only complaint is with the characters being divided into 5 (now 6) different groups it's having trouble giving each character enough screen time now.
But they seem to be meeting up again soon so that's good. At least it's not like hero's where they just threw in a ton of new characters and almost forgot about the old ones (That caused me to leave the show, I lost interest once they went "Claire? Peter? Hero? Hell no! Look at this deaf girl and the carnival!".

As for the most recent episode... Holy shit!
I never thought they would have the balls to kill a kid... I mean by human hands at least, and the main characters as well, not a villain.
Like... Wow.

I totally get why they did it, the kid was insane and killing people (For the record, the entire episode she had the "Look at me, I'm completely stupid, brain dead and insane" look on her face), but I'm still shocked the show went there. Lost of respect given.

Short version

Didn't like season 3, I think season 4 is better now and the show is better again.
But holy shit I can't believe the show had the balls to kill a child at the hands of the main characters.

Westboro Baptist Leader Fred Phelps is dying

Rare said
What if they (the WBC) protest at Fred Phelps' funeral?

That'd me incredibly ironic.

Miku said
If I remember correctly, the family members seemed to be glad when someone died in their community, and they forgot one of their daughters existed after she broke away from their stupid little cult. I am personally glad that he will rot in the pits of hell that he spawned from, I know the family will be glad he is dead.

I remember the daughter incident...
Sadly the Westboro baptists is not the only Religion that does that.
Just the one that's probably the most hateful and get's the most media attention over it.

"You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."I like that quote.

That is extremely accurate in this case... :/

Westboro Baptist Leader Fred Phelps is dying

Me and much of the baptist community will be very happy once this organization either changes its name or dies.However, I don't think protesting his funeral would be a good idea. Just be glad he's gone, and then move on.Actually, I'm not sure if his death really means anything worth celebrating. I don't know much about the inner workings of Westboro, but I don't think his death will cause that much trouble.

Apparently we was ex-communicated recently as well.
No idea why, but the church even seems to not like him now.

But for all I know, maybe they did it cause he was dying.
It being a sign from God, or simply out of fear of actually having to be at the receiving end of a funeral riot for once.

I don't think people should protest his funeral. The whole reason the WBC does what they do is to get attention. They think everyone is going to hell including them so they want everyone to know about it, and the only way they can is by being horrible people. If people were to protest Fred Phelps' funeral it would get them even more attention and add fuel to the fire. There is no way to go about it that won't make everything worse than it already is.

Westboro Baptist Leader Fred Phelps is dying

Basically what the cover says.

I don't know much about it other than that he's dying and will be dead soon.
Are people happy or sad about the news?

I know a lot of the atheist community (That I'm active in) is celebrating, and want's to protest at the funeral same way the Baptist do to others.
Me personally? That's just stirring the pot and making it worse, I'd rather we just leave the church alone to grief for their lost leader.

That will honestly teach them more than any amount of hostile retaliation from us will do anyways.
I'm not even happy about the death, I'd rather just see them stop being so hateful. :/
