I think I probably speak for most of us when I say "No problem."

Oh, and if you're looking for luls, look for people shooting .700 Nitro Expresses portable cannons on YouTube.

Glad to help cheer up someone.

You really gotta wear decent ear defenders. They don't have to be expensive - just there's different kinds of earplugs, so you gotta get the right ones. Shooting is incredibly fun though, especially black powder weaponry.

Yeah, that could definitely be it. I just went up to a range and got some cheap ones there before shooting some of those clay birds or whatever they're called. It was fun despite the ear pain and sore shoulder after. I used to play a lot of paintball and it kind of brought back memories for me.

Thanks for the help, mates.
Firing weapons sound interesting (especially bow and arrows), but I'm kind of young so I don't think it's possible. Might dig up my old BB gun, though.

Aside from that, anything will do. I mean anything. So long as I chose it, and I do it, it's good. It may sound a bit egoistical, but I really enjoy having things be mine. If I look upon something, even a tattered piece of plant mush, and know that it's made by me, and belongs to me, I will immediately feel proud and happy.

I also enjoy science and writing, a lot.

Again, thanks. You brightened up my time.

...If you need archery tips or what kind of bow or weight you should be carrying, don't be afraid to shoot me a PM.

I wish I could believe that people are inherently good but I don't really. Most people that I've met are pretty jerky and only respect you if you respect yourself or put them down.

In holistic truth, people are inherently good.
It's just that we..more often than not, fall back on our defense mechanisms and have levels of distrust of other actions of rating others...its more on the perception of you and who/what you're usually in contact with, IMO.

I don't know... from a very young age... I'm talking about like five years old, I've seen people act incredibly selfish and cruel. I don't particularly want to share a whole sob story here because doing so would make me feel a bit uncomfortable and I'd regret it afterwards... but let's just say that for a large part of my life I had people treat me like dirt. I would try desperately hard as a little guy to get people to like me and they would. Yet it was only because I was good at making them laugh. They liked me for selfish reasons; they liked me because it made them feel good. I would get too comfortable and then I would start getting personal, thinking there was a connection, only to have it thrown in my face and having people say that they didn't like me any more because I "wasn't as funny as I used to be" or that I got too serious and emotional or whatever... Just because I got comfortable and started sharing more of myself than just stupid shallow jokes. Over time I learned from it, I guess. I became very jaded and bitter and just stopped caring. Paradoxically then, I got more respect than I ever had before and it made me hate them all so much more. It felt like an affirmation of all the horrible things I thought about the majority of people. I moved on and followed some of the advice I posted for the other person and it helped me which is why I shared it. It would be a lie though to say, even in the improvement of my overall state of mind, that I see the average person to be any better than I did before.

So, yeah besides that, I've seen some messed up things in my life. Not all necessarily things that happened to me but I've seen enough to know that there are a lot of... unlikable people out there. I've seen more bad than good and that is strictly why I feel the way I do. Not to say by any means that there aren't good people, because there are and I think some of the people on this forum prove that fact in a great way. Still though, I just find it incredibly hard at this point to look at the majority in a positive light. But hey, what do I know? A large portion of my family on one side have serious depression problems so that might be to blame. *Shrug*

Edit: Just a quick example, one of my first memories of school is going on the playground and seeing a group of about five kids throw another kid down and start kicking him repeatedly under a tree while yelling mean things at him. I kid you not, they were probably like first graders, although I admit the memory is a little hazy. Still though... I really just don't like many of the things I've seen in my life.

Heheh. I kind of laugh when people say kids are innocent, because they are anything but. Grade schoolers even more so. Old enough to be total assholes, but young enough to not have any regrets, or realize the consequences.

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

A question regarding guns: Why do people fire them for sport? Some of them are cool, and all, but you have natural weaponry attached to your body. It's way more satisfying to hit a bag, and it makes your body better (stronger, faster, better cardio, et al) to do so.

Gun make big noise. Big noise fun.

Let me know when people (other than yourself, obviously) can punch bullets out of the air and I'll get right on that :p

If you hit it hard enough, so does the bag. It's always hilarious to knock the dust off the rafters in the basement, and get yelled at because you scared the hell out of the people upstairs because you shook the floor.

Aw, c'mon, man. Everyone can stop a bullet. Once. Maybe twice, if they're lucky.

I know, I took boxing lessons for a while, though the school shut down due to the instructor having health problems. Nowadays I prefer practicing with polearms out back. That's pretty fun, though I haven't been able to get out recently.

I've never done traditional boxing, and I'd like to sometime.

[kisame12794]

If you can, I'd say do it. It's a good workout, you learn how to fight effectively, and once you get high enough, you can start sparring. I joined late, so I never got to the sparring bit, but I certainly picked up enough to know how to throw a punch.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

It should be noted that traditional boxing is actually more dangerous than mixed martial arts, as boxing gloves are enough to change "broken hand, sore skull" into "broken skull, sore hand".
