The vast majority of births are not "accidents" -- they are the result, among
other things, of a woman's conscious decision not to abort, even though 
abortion is a safe and legal option for her.

Alright rON or should I say mr. R, you make any more personal attacks against
me (ie-Nice Guy) and you've had it.  :)

> r.

Seriously though, I do think quite a few people on the net take comments too
seriously and take offense where none was intended.  Of course others do tend
to attack too quickly and too strongly, there is a song out now that I think
really reflects the attitudes of a lot of people.  It speaks about the 
bravery of being out of range, in other words people will say things on the
net they would never say in person (E-mail included as part of the net).
It reminds me of a cartoon in which a guy after being jostled, bumped, cursed,
and abused while going into his office tells his office mate that he is worried
about the future of the world because people are starting to act in person
the same as they do when they drive.

The song even has a verse dedicated to me, "HEY old man, who are you going
to kill next?"

Oh my god, this is twice in one day that I'm agreeing with Ed.  Those 
dinky little K-mart weights are certainly enough to impress *me*.  When
I used to lift weights (don't laugh at me Trygve) I started off lifting
a broomstick.  Yes, just a broomstick.  I was in such miserably poor
shape that I had a hard enough time doing the recommended number of
squats and lifts etc without any weight at all.  It took me three weeks
to go up to an iron barbell and another two weeks to actually put 
weights on it.  There was a six month period when I did that for a half
hour five days a week, and I couldn't believe how energetic I felt.
I wish I could think of some way to arrange my schedule to get back
into it, but unfortunately there are so many things ahead of weightlifting
on my list of things that I'd like to do that it would take a miracle.

But at the rate that I was going, that K-mart weight set would have kept
me happy for years to come.  For that matter, a K-mart telescope would
be pretty cool too.

Everyone's mileage may vary, of course, but in my experience most men
(not all, certainly, but most) welcome having a woman approach them.
It is still, sadly, a rare enough occurance that when it does happen,
it is a wonderful surprise and ego stroke.  So my advice is simple:
if you see a guy you might like, just go talk to him.  This should be
especially easy for guys in your classes, where you've already got a
built-in topic of conversation.

If you're shy, just keep telling yourself that most guys will feel
honored that you picked him to put out the effort to talk to.  Also,
if you're worried about saying something dumb, don't be.  Rest assured
that no matter *how* dumb a thing you might say, the guy will either
currently have something even dumber in his mind, or he will have actually
said something dumber to a woman in the past.  He will either sympathize
with you, or he'll feel able to relax more because you've removed his
worry that he'll say something dumb.

Maybe that was then. karate and wrestling each has had their own facilities
here at PSU for as long as i can remember. One thing i have noticed (not
being a wrestler myself) is that the wrestling room mat is thicker and
softer. is it an across-the-board standard?
As for wearing socks during karate exercises, i have never tried it myself
but wonder how one can possibly avoid skidding with them on?

This revision, while having its own merits, seriously changes the meaning
and probably misses the point of the Rose Qoute.  It seems to me that the
qoute says "wasted" precisely because so many of the things we do to
build relationships seem unimportant at the time.  If we bring these things
to the foreground, think of them consciously as investment, that causes us
to focus on "what I expect to get out of the relationship" thereby cheapening
it.  For each person in a relationship, the strength of his(generic) tie
to the relationship depends on how much he has given without expecting
return, ie., wasted.

The problem with being a Nice Guy is that you're Safe.  Young women tend
not to want Safe.  Actually, to be fair, I should also include young men
in that category; they don't want Safe Women either.  "Safe" generally
means that you're terribly predictable, reliable, and generally bland.
It makes me think of all those 50's movies in which the bad catholic
school girls were keen to hang out with Johnny Dangerous and his
motorcycle clique.  It's not really that much of an exaggeration...some
people really need that "extra danger factor" in their relationships:
the unpredicatbly wild, tumultuous affair. 

When you're young, most women don't want to date accounting students or
aspiring computer programmers who want to work for MegaCorp where they
have to wear wingtips everyday.  This might, however, happen later on
when they've gone through the long line of Billy-Jo-the-mechanics and
Scott-the-surfer-who's-never-held-a-jobs or
Mark-who-likes-psychoactive-drugs-a-little-too-muchs.  Suddenly, someone
who's emotionally stable seems much more appealing.  This is when you,
the Nice Guy, walks in.

     It doesn't.  To reduce your body fat, you have to do some type of
aerobic exercise such as running, walking, biking, etc. and change
your diet so that you are eating at most 30% of your total calories from
fat.

     In the past year, I changed my calorie intake to the following 
aproximate proportions and exercised by weight training and stationary
biking:

          Fat           : 11%
          Carbohydrates : 69%
          Protein       : 20%

     I gained muscle mass and lost fat.  I began by weight training for a
period of time where I believe that I gained weight in muscle and fat.  I
incorporated the biking and lost fat.  I then stopped weight training to
allow my injured left forearm to heal.  When the baseball playoffs started,
I stopped the biking.  Overall, I lost about 10 pounds.  In Feb or Mar of
this year, I plan to go back to my exercise program.

   I don't think it'd work for me somehow. While my chest may be larger than
normal, my cleavage isn't, and the chest-hair might interfere with the picture.

   Seriously, let's face it. If an attractive female dressed in such a fashion,
it would NOT be so she could object if people looked ! I'm aware that people
would usually prefer to be treated as human beings, but this sort of clothing
is merely advertising, the intent being to draw attention to the features so
packaged.

   Still, sounds like a funny sketch, save if one of the chumps in question was
