The first bardo comes at the very moment of death, when there dawns the Clear Light of the Ultimate Reality. This is the very content and substance of the state of liberation, if only the soul can recognize it and act in a way to remain in that state.

I read that bible verse, "an eye for an eye," and considering Mujus muted me, I muted his "daily bible reading" thread. Anyway, I can still see it and it doesn't disappear after the web page code has fully loaded. Help?

Lol, well, zultar + ghug:

My first several sexual experiences were with girls several years older who all took advantage of me.

Needless to say it gave me a warped view of sex while I was in high school and contributed to my inhumane behavior toward women till I finally got a long term relationship and straightened up.

Definitely a scam or at least a business which provides online fantasies for a subscription. The person was not even necessarily a woman, just some poor person sitting in a pod in a room with lots of other people doing the same thing (like a call centre), working.
Comservative Man, I am never quite sure if you are serious or if your posts are satire.

The are two types of women who work in the sex industry. The decent ones with their own moral code who wouldn't touch someone as young as you with a barge pole, and the twisted ones with no morals who would hit you over the head with a barge pole to steal your wallet. The chances of this being real is even less likely than Thucy becoming a life-long member of the Republican party.

Still, it makes for an amusing tale! Modify it a little to make yourself seem slightly less like an arse and it will be perfect for telling at future university late night drinking sessions.

Shes probably not even in the US. She typed like a foreigner and her "boss" was in the philippines. On top of that, if she was doing this for herself, she wouldnt have to pay her boss. 15 year old are so naive lol.

Thankfully he didn't have access to mommy and daddy's credit card and time to give the info out.
@Truninja: Well I didn't mention this before but there was one point when we were on skype she started a video call (until she realized I didn't have a webcam), so I saw her for a little bit, and she didn't look like a foreigner. In fact, she looked exactly like the pictures I had seen. Just throwing that out there.

So? Do you really think after getting your CC and SSN she was going to show up? Hell, no, you would have ruined your credit (and your parent's) for years to come.

The sex industry would have to be in a pretty deep recession to offer 75% discount on illegal sex for underaged boys together with a 4 hour chat and call girl perks. That's beyond the realm of a simple student discount. TC's revered cutthroat free market competition probably kicked in. God bless it, for what is better than a steady supply of cheap hookers to the world's young?
@yellowjacket: She never asked for the info. perhaps the information would have been sent somewhere if I used the money transfer sites (I never knew this before), but she never specifically asked me for my SSN or CC. If she had, I wouldn't have told her, and if she insisted, I would have left the conversation. I'm not THAT stupid.

@Draugnar: I had my mom's credit/debit card in my pocket (she sometimes sends me with it to the store to get things because she can't go herself). I never told her the number, nor was I planning to.
And like I said before, this would not have been a scam for personal info. Even if the person in the phillipines could have found that info from the stuff I put in for the online money order, remember that the girl originally wanted me to walk to a Westen Union in my city and pay cash. I wouldn't have had to give a credit card number or ssn there, so obviously she wasn't trying to find that info out.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
24 Apr 12 UTC
CM yeah I don't know what to say about that WU thing. The best I can come up with is that since you were smart enough to not give her or anybody your CC or SSN, she at least wanted a few bucks for her time? I dunno.

Whatever the scam, there was never any chance she was coming to meet you.

Now if you DO want to meet a woman online (and you shouldn't, but we all know abstinence education doesn't work), try a legit dating site (they are really painful but your odds of screwing up badly are much lower) or just go to craigslist like all the perverts do.

Still, take reasonable precautions whatever you do.

Still a scam. $25 is better than nothing and she was *not* going to show. I guarantee it. If you really want to get laid that bad, use a real service and a fake ID. Or just wait a few months as 16 is legal in most states and you can sleep with any older woman who isn't a person of authroity and wants a young stud who'll be in, out, and gone in 60 seconds (like the movie).
@Draug: In california you have to be 18 to be legal... which is why I tried this rather than wait a few months.

@yellowjacket: Interesting way to put it...

How far are you from Vegas? I mean, are you northern or southern California where you could bus ride to Vegas. It's 16 in Nevada after all and the hookers are clean and the whorehouses reputable.
I'm hours from vegas. And anyway I'd never get there by myself; my mom would never let me.
Draugnar (0 DX)
24 Apr 12 UTC
Geez... You are willing to go hookup with some strange woman on the street (something I'm sure your mom wouldn't let you do) but you won't plan a Saturday trip to Vegas after you turn 16 on the sly... come on, CM. Man up. Head to Sin City and get laid once you are Nevada legal. The prostitutes are cleaner, the environment safer, and you know you won't get taken for a ride at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch (www.bunnyranch.com). OK, well, you'll get taken for a ride, but it will be a *fun* ride. hehehe

As to the point about you seeing her on webcam and her not looking Filipino?
1. there are non Filipino people in the Philippines
2. Much more likely, THAT WASN'T ACTUALLY HER. It's not hard to feed prerecorded video information to a program like Skype and make the program think it's coming from a webcam. Think back, did she actually appear to be legitimately responding to the things you were typing? Or was she just smiling vapidly and occasionally typing. Did the typing sync up with when messages would appear. During the video call did she actually talk to you on video, so you could see her lips moving and saying the things she was? And if so, did what she said follow naturally from the conversation you'd already been having or did it just kinda start over again from the "Hello, are you feeling horny? <--Y/N-->" part of the flowchart?

in game 23 Skido, ALB has been dislogued. The unit hasn't been destroyed, and it has a region near without occupation (GRE). I don't know why the player can retreat the unit from ALB to GRE, in that case. Don't I know something? Can It be a bug?

Does anybody remember that troll...
It was way back when this site allowed you to bounce back up to 100 D available when you were defeated in any game (regardless of how many Diplopoints you had in play at the time). He would get over 100 D, then join games and lose while being the only player in a yet-to-start password-protected game. LOL. What a genius way to climb the rating ladder :)

Today's reading is John Chapter 7, in which people debate whether Jesus is the promised savior, the Messiah of Israel. Some key verses: On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, "Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, 'Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.'" [fn] (Verses 37-38)

WELL! I'm a bit late to the party...but screw it, why not--

In the Diplomacy Adjudicator Test Cases there are a few examples on convoys.
in example 6F5 the convoy is not disrupted but the convoy in 6F9 is dislodged. Why is the convoy dislodged in example 6F9 and not in 6F5?? Would it make any difference if the Army was in Wales and was moving to Holland via the Channel and North sea?
