The Suicide girls are really starting to bother me. There's nothing cool about this... nothing cool about a bunch of young girls who have barely come out of puberty and feel the need to bare their bodies and spread their legs in order to gain some kind of appreciation or status or recognition. Most of the men I know and, I am guessing, many here would never really seriously date one of these girls, yet they flirt with them and send them kisses and thumbs up for their latest spread and, in the process, egg these girls on. Many of these girls have talent, I notice. Many have cool personalities and good minds. Just somewhere deep inside lies low self-esteem. Often not even that deep inside, but quite near the surface where it is a touch obvious. I suppose this rant of mine comes off as disprespectful and may appear prudish, but I really don't disprespect any of these girls - I just sort of am disappointed in them and in society's shameless nurturing of such exploitation. Anyways, whatever the fuck. lately, all I see is the endless problems with society and the world around me. Perhaps such thoughts become much more fertile when one has a child and wants to somehow better the world for this child. I dunno. I'm not giving up, though. I'm sure somewhere I will find some kid of "paradise". If not, I'll just have to work hard to make one.

I really do not support the exploitation of such young girls under the guise of "coolness" and "individuality" and "liberal self expression" and any other bullshit "self-empowering" slogans. I think I've wisened up a bit since I joined in January. I'm too fucking cynical for this place. Sorry if I'm being a twot. Just my opinion. I was 18 once and thought I knew everything about everything. I'm about to turn 30 and I still know much less than I would like to, but I recognize that at 18, I was just doggy-paddling with my head barely above the water...
