Admire the passion in these young guys, wish they had better direction.

Glad you're here. It's a great place to be honest and open and try to solve your problems like Social anxiety and inability to hold a job. I'm from Ontario, lots of Canadians on here! Welcome!

Welcome! Yes, I loved Practical Anarchy as well, it's kind of hard to introduce to people, they think you have gone crazy XD Didn't the Netherlands legalize a whole bunch of drugs? If so, that's great, less people in prison for harming no one.

Excellent advice, much appreciated. With renting, isn't that bad since I will never be building up an investment on property? Also, I have no idea how to invest. Like do you go on a computer and send money to a company? I am currently enrolled in a two year program and it seems like it's more about getting my actual certificate than actually learning. I am not learning as much and as fast as I want and everyone here is just drinking and stuff. I'm about a month in and not sure whether I should drop out, because I am learning even if it's slow and not as much as I wish. Or just finish the course and graduate. I can also do another two years after this and get my degree, one year would be paid co-op and my parents keep pushing me to do this. So I am not really sure what option I want to do. Awesome advice, thanks!

How do you purchase property without credit?

My big concerns are real estate, saving and vehicles. For saving, what type would you reccomend? Bitcoin? Investment? Gold or silver? Any other advice? For real estate, do you reccomend a mortgage, how many years, and what to avoid? Any other advice? For vehicles, is it unwise to buy brand new since it losing so much value? Should you avoid loans for vehicles? Basically, what do you wish you knew financially at 18 that you know now?

You just described my thoughts, I too would like to know

Hmmm, that seems like a good assessment. Yes, I think agnosticism is either laziness to pursue truth, or fear of it, or both. However, I would still much rather hang out with agnostics than religious people.

Athiesm proposed the idea that life has no determined purpose. Not that life sucks or anything, just that you need not rely on anything for meaning, you make your own. That is a great point actually. It's never like "I am strongly agnostic", it's more like "Yeah, I don't really know... So, I'm agnostic". It's never a pursuit of truth, more a belief in apathy.

This week, I was with a group of about 6 or 7 people. I am an atheist, two are Christian, the rest are agnostic. We were having "Deep life chats" and I'm not like an annoying athiest who says "Your god is a murderer!" and stuff. I didn't even talk that often, but when I did, people would listen at first, but since I did not propose a purpose for life, they were not interested. If I had not been christian, but would have proposed something like altruism as the purpose of life, they would have listened to me. But agnostics only desire to find their "Purpose". So, instead they valued talking with the Christians about a wizard in the sky and his ghosts. I know there's really no good reason for it to bother and I sound like a bitter jealous guy. But it kind of pissed me off that people value stupid children's stories and fables over rational information that is new to them. I felt kind of insulted. But yeah, that's basically my rant. I think Agnostics are basically the same as religious people. They just believe in some sort of higher god or reason and believe everything has a reason and most of the same stuff theists believe in.

Interesting article, take a read: http://io9.com/why-everything-you-know-about-wolf-packs-is-wrong-502754629

My opinion is that it is ok to use the term grammar Nazi with friends and stuff, but if you are publishing an app, it is offensive to use the word Nazi. This is because it's no longer a term just used with your friends, the app is your product and I think i makes you look unprofessional. That's just my two cents but I've never made an app before, so I really don't know.

I think many will disagree with me, and this is just my opinion with no evidence, but I find the whole alpha/beta thing for humans of any gender, to be a load of bullshit. People aren't categorized into two types of personality

I am curious of the indepth reasons as to why you chose to have kids, or why you want them, please give detail, thank you!

My friend is a native spanish speaker, I will certainly give this to him, thanks!
