Sex before marriage?
1 year 7 months ago
"My view on this has changed a lot over the last few years, At first I was for marriage before sex mainly because of the stuff that can result from having sex like children, I really didn’t like the fact that my parents weren’t married when they had me and when they finally did get married it was to other people.
Just because a relationship has lasted a long time doesn't mean it will last forever, my parents were together for over seven years and didn't break up until the year I was born. Even if they were married there was nothing stopping them from separating afterwards.
What really changed my view was when I experienced something similar, awhile back I was with someone who's parents would have probably killed them if they had ever had sex outside of marriage and we were young so it was impossibly for us to get married so we deiced to wait and after few years of moving and long distances relationships we drifted apart, when we did finally get back together the love was gone, When I think back on the whole thing now I'm actually glad I waited.
If you are planning on staying "Pure" until you find your perfect someone just ask yourself what if after you give yourself to them it turns out they aren't what you thought they were, What if after a few years or even months of marriage you decide to separate and then you find a new perfect someone, what if your new someone had the same views you did and wants a virgin? No matter if you had sex before or after marriage you can never get the "Purity" back.
BTW, is it really wrong to check the goods before you buy them?

I think that buying new components and picking all that you can use out of the Dell is a good idea.
I do the same, i always buy parts to upgrade in steps not all in the same time; obviously, motherboard & ... needs to be changed in one time but there's other secondary things which can wait.
GoldenApe
Depending on your present type of HDD and Videocard, you could keep those, same as your PSU, DVD player, etc. I even think you could keep the Dell case, which saves you some work.
Thanks for the input everyone, I’ve already started shopping around for a motherboard and processor and picking out what I can reuse.
Evinta
I guess your processor is less than a ghz.
Anyways i suggest you get a PCI-E graphics card with DDR2 ram and a good motherboard. The only thing i can see about you gaining from your dell is your HD, of course also your motior and that.
The Processor was a 2.4 Pentium 4 it isn’t that bad I would reuse it but I’m not sure if I can get a motherboard that is compatible with it. And it had a 256 video card, I plan on reusing it for now. Same goes for the hard drives, DVD drives, monitor, speakers ect.
mikageryuji
warning: the dell PSU is proprietary. you can only use them on dell systems (unless you are willing to do some re-wiring and re-splicing on the 20-pin connector). as for the dell chassis, some motherboards may not fit in them due to the chassis' design. and considering the fact that you will customize your pc, you may also get a nice fan for your new processor. dell's cooling systems are passive-type coolers. that's why they use those green shrouds on the processor area.
I’m changing the PSU and the case, the new Power Supply probably won’t fit the dell chassis anyway and a new case and fan would really improve the cooling.

"Ok so I’ve had this Dell I bought about three or four years ago and I haven’t had any problems with it until now.
Anyway last week it just stopped turning on, and it turns out one of the memory sticks went bad (probably because of heat damage).
My problem is it uses RDRAM, PC1066 to be specific and it needs to be installed in pairs and I can’t find it anywhere. I’ve checked every store I could find and none of them have it so tried online and the prices at the places I went were like $200 and up, so if you guys know where I can get a good deal let me know.
If this doesn’t workout I’m also considering just building a new computer that uses DDR and reusing the drives, monitor and ect from the dell, which is probably best in the long run.
It looks like Microsoft will always find a way to force me into buying their new software, but I really don’t have a choice since I’m a heck of a lot more accurate when It comes to shooting with a mouse." View

"Depends on what you call the truth remember a picture might be worth a thousand words but it doesn't always tell the whole story, what I mean is that they might tell about the events but it's normally one sides version of what happened. And like jebelbryan said they only stick to what will increase the channels ratings, probably because of the competition from other channels especial the 24hour new networks.
And about the ‘getting the truth and nothing but the truth in the news’ I’m really not sure what I think, it probably depends on if it will save lives or not, sometimes it’s good like back when that guy ended up being kill by the police on live TV after that car chase, before they stated using a 10 second delay on all live feeds, because everyone saw what happened, no one could pick sides on the matter, the guy pointed a gun at them and they fired in self-defense.
Or the truth could cause more harm like for example an asteroid was about to end all life on the planet and theirs nothing anyone can do, the truth would only cause widespread panic and we would have people doing all sorts of crap because it their last day alive (and I would probably be one of them), But personally I would prefer to not know and just enjoy my last day peacefully if theirs nothing we can do.

I prefer to play as him instead of Mega Man X since Mega Man X4. Zero is such a unique Character who has his own Style. you need Skill to fight with him effectively.
