03/26/2004 Archived Entry: "It's not the cards you're dealt"
but the way you play them? BULLSHIT! Crap made up by people with bad cards who're trying to make themselves feel good.
In reality, it is true that if you have bad cards you can make up for it by working harder, learning to play better and hoping that the good cards are in the hands of someone resting on their much deserved laurels, but skill can only take you so far. Sometimes those good cards end up in the hands of someone who also knows how to play, or worse, the cards are so good that a bad player doens't even need to know how to play to win. It's unfair because no matter how much you've worked, the other player can just blindly play along until it's time to show your hands and they'll win with no effort involved simply because they were dealt the better cards. This is why you should always hide an ace up your sleeve.
The ace doens't always work though. What if you're playing a game where all cards are flipped face up? Everyone knows what you've got; good hand, bad hand. There's no escaping, there's no out-playing the other guys, all you can do is hang on until that last card drops hoping that it'll do you some good. Sometimes it's so obvious you're going to lose no matter what cards are flipped next, those are the days where you just stop playing, go home, and watch some tv. I recommend "Farscape" or "24".

You know in years past it was not that uncommon to just slam down your whisky and shoot the other players...

How true, that's why we should minimize our losses and maximize our winnings

Not totally within the scheme of this topis but here goes...
Im 16 years old. I've been looking at "pre-teen" videos and pictures since I was 14. I find myself strongly attracted to younger girls, especially if they have that "baby-fat" in the tummy and butt.
I won't lie to any of you and say that I want to have long, engaging conversations with them. I don't. There's nothing that I would have in common with them. I do find them more genuine than girls my own age and older though. Ive had fantasies about young girls, kissing them all over, making love to them etc.
I don't know why I am writing this, perhaps I need to confess to someone.
I guess what Im asking is: can younger guys like me be pedophiles? And if thats the case, is it really something to be ashamed of?

if you keep growing older ... but the avg age of the girls you are sexually attracted to remains the same ... then you could be in for trouble in the future

Yu-Gi...I think you've answered your own question...seek some help.
Its not about shame...its what "certain" people eventually do to fulfill a pedaphilic fantasy...SICK!
