We all make mistakes, I can think of at least 2 worse people who have, at one point, existed.

NO.  Think about what you've done!  The lives you've hurt, the feelings you've caused, the pain you've dealt!  Only then can you atone.

I think it's best if you go sit in the corner for a while until you've learned your lesson.

The only problem I have with Tuvac, is he, or perhaps coincidentally he was an extra that later got a bigger role in voyager, appeared in the beginning of the film "Generations" as a regular person who was not a vulcan.  Although I could easily be remembering that wrong, but the last time I watched Generations I could have sworn he was on the bridge but wasn't a vulcan.

He probably just danced for hours on end.

, pop went the weasel... causing

That's just straight ignant, dawg.

^^ As a high schooler I learned how to play the entire Led Zeppelin II album on guitar.  After school, every single day, I would listen to the record and play along with it the whole way through, very stoned.  It was a blast. 

But my favorite is probably either Love It to Death by Alice Cooper or Tooth, Fang, and Claw by Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes.

Not great.

I just ate Y, and it was delicious.

My mistake, I meant to say Klingon, I was drunk.  And I can't stand her disrespect.  I've seen all of TNG and most of DS9, but she was at their mercy and should have been a prisoner, and instead they let her join the crew and she shows her gratitude by constantly acting like she's better than them.  

What's wrong with "The Thaw"?  I liked it alot, it was pretty weird but it was also somewhat intense, which is something severely lacking in most of Voyager so far.  Plus it was at least creative and not too technobabbly. 

 It's called a character flaw. It lends itself to conflict. They can't all be practically 24th century perfect in every way. ;)

 Oh I know, I just don't like her particular character.  Just once, when she addressed somebody as "Starfleet", I wanted them to respond with "Yes, bitch that should be in the brigg for the next 70 years but we kindly let function as an equal?"

I've been watching through Voyager steadily on Netflix.  I don't know if I've ever had more mixed feelings about a show.  I love the characters (except the half vulcan female... she's annoying and I hate how she refers to other people as "Starfleet" as if she's better than them because she isn't originally from them.  I always want one of them to reply with "Woman we captured and graciously gave the mercy of joining our crew instead of spending 70 years in the Brigg... but enough about her).  But only about half of the episodes are any good, most of them have so much technobabble it's as if they put no effort at all into writing it.  It's all "oh let's put them into some horrible deadly situation, then just make up some preposterous bullshit to get them out of it".

That being said, I'm on season 2, and the episode "Resistance" (the one where Janeway encounters an elderly man with some sort of dementia or something similar who thinks she's his daughter) was awesome, it actually made me feel things, sentimentally.  Also, "The Thaw" was also fanfuckingtastic.  But on the other hand, I can't remember the episode, but the one where Paris breaks the warp barrier and then starts evolving, then inexplicably turns into some sort of lizard and has a baby with Janeway was just mindnumbingly horrible.

Aye! It just makes me not ever want to interact with her.

You've got a means to travel back in time and THAT'S what you want to do?   No ladies you'd want to go back and visit when they're still young?  No seeing the original versions of star wars in theaters?  

Thank you folks for your input.  I believe I will keep my distance.  It's actually not her husband at all, he's a pretty laid back and cool guy, very understanding.  He wouldn't have a problem with her talking to her childhood best friend.  Honestly it's mostly because she gets on my nerves.   She's got that bubble gum stupid teenager attitude, which was cute when she was 16 but now it's just irritating.
Really I could see myself being friends with her husband, but I think that would just hurt her feelings...

So who's gonna be jabba?  They obviously get to hold twister on a chain, since the role of leia in this scenario is obviously reserved for the real woman.

This doesn't really fall under the category of emotional support, but I don't know where else I should post it and it doesn't warrant the creation of a topic on it's own.  I would just like youz guyz opinion on if I'm doing the right thing here or not.

I had this childhood bestfriend, a very beautiful girl.  We grew up together and we were super close.  Inevitably (if you ask me anyway) at a certain age we became romantically involved.  That ended up not working out.  There wasn't any kind of bad event or hatred involved in the ending of it, it just kinda fizzled out.  We stopped talking and we don't see each other any more. This was about 6 years ago.

We still live in the same town and we see each other quite often at certain events.  For the entire 6 years we haven't been talking, she's made it very obvious that she is not happy with this arrangement, she wants to be friends.  I do not.  I do not dislike her at all, I just don't think it's a good idea for us to talk anymore.  It's not that I still feel anything for her, or that I think she does for me, it just doesn't sound appealing.

I can understand her wanting to stay friends.  After all, we grew up together.  It seems to mean a lot to her, there's definitely a sentimental attachment and bond we'll always have, but I'm perfectly content to let it rot away, and I think that's best, but sometimes I wonder if this is really fair to her.

She's married now, and she still wants us to be friends.  I don't tell her no, but I just avoid her and I'm sure it's obvious that I avoid her.  There is no chance of anything inappropriate happening, it'd just be childhood best friends reuniting, and I know that she would love it if I spent time with her and talked to her, I just... I dunno I really just don't want to.  It's not so much that I think it's wrong, but I still really don't want to.  But I'm not sure if this is fair to her.

I don't happen to like tornados, very sorry.

And packaged/frozen food in general.

Maybe it's just the world then.

I hear America is overrated these days. ;-)

 It is.  Our culture and community here is suffering a horrible case of rot.  Junk food is the most common food ingested, the average person is fat and stupid.  On a whole people here are getting so fat that they are also becoming lazy and sluggish.  This has led to a general attitude of entitlement where everybody wants everything handed to them and they don't want to do anything for it.  When they realize life doesn't always work that way, people are rude.  As far as I see it, most of the people I see are fat, rude, stupid, lazy, ignorant, and care nothing for anything but themselves.  If you are healthy, nice, caring, and hardworking, you will be looked at as a snob.  It's sad but true.

I mean you may try blame everything on the Church as an institution and say religion has nothing to with it. But I am a very practical person and cannot accept such excuse.

Except that that is not practical thinking at all.  Just because some branches of the church twist things does not make something twisted to begin with.  That's like saying, for example, that a chain of restaurants is overall terrible because the one in your city isn't very good.  Chances are the one in your city is privately ran following guidelines given down, and they just are not following the guidelines well.  Individual churches are NOT united, even the bible warns against individual churches taking orders from another church.  Blaming all churches for the misdeeds of a few is not practical at all, but it is typical, sadly.  I'm afraid your not as much better than everybody else as you may like to think.

Well if you make a comparison/analogy, at least get the scale right. It's more like saying, for example, that a bad chain of restaurants is overall good because there is one in your city that is an exception and is actually good.

 No, it isn't like saying that.  Your opinion is not fact, as hard as this may be for you to believe, and your attitude of arrogance is very annoying.  I don't know about the other theists here, but I completely accept that there is a distinct possibility that there is no God.  It's highly possible.  I don't find other viewpoints absurd just because I don't believe in them.  You seem to think that everything you don't believe in is certainly wrong, and I pity you.
