This is a good thread.
I had some semblance of a story I wanted to put together but I just could never get the motivation to do it.
I kinda wanted to do a coming-of-age sort of thing but everything is just way too disjointed to mesh into a story that makes sense.

The Evolution of the "bad" me

As we proceed, the grass green....
When you focus *off* the past flings.. but that stings!
So...
We add things.. and change what was..
"Corny"s the new love.. and love's a drug
Addiction is hard to break.. HARDER to fake
It's way more in Indiana than that and a lake..
But this Indiana Beeeeach that I happened to take
Is missing a few grains... and that's a mistake

I do what I can to manage the hate..
Good friends, good weed, and a package of Grapes..

She makes me feel so emasculated. It’s like I’m a freshman in high school all over again, looking up to that one upperclassman who all the girls talk about in the locker room. I’m trying to copy the walk, the clothing, the way Brooke goes about her business.
I know that as long as I spend time with her, I can never be the alpha male. I’ll always be second in command, and that's something that I’m so unused to. I don’t know why I’m ok with that, but I’m content. She has to be the coolest @%!%*+#*%!!* alive. She is every girl that every girl has ever wanted to %$*$. Even the “straight
In chapter 17 Walzer (1977) seems to be arguing that the use of nuclear weapons exists outside of the normal war convention and traditional just war principles. Walzer does this by arguing that the atomic bombing of Japan caused a permanent state of supreme emergency. Therefore, the only plausible way of using nuclear weapons is to have them as a deterrent to actual nuclear warfare because "we threaten evil in order not to do it, and the doing of it would be so terrible that the threat seems in comparison to be morally defensible" (p. 274). This type of warfare exists outside of the normal war convention and traditional just war principles because Walzer believes that a limited nuclear war is not possible. Furthermore, moving beyond the threat of nuclear war and applying war theory to nuclear war is not possible because doing so would suggest that there is way to win a war with the use of nuclear weapons.
According to Walzer there is no winning in nuclear war because the subsequent nuclear retaliation would only serve to "drag our enemies into the abyss after us" (p. 274). In other words, nuclear war is far too great a threat to mankind, that proposing that there is a way to win a war with it's use is not logical. This is evident by Walzers argument against the limited uses of nuclear war. When war strategists, for example, imagine using the bomb in a limited capacity to attack only military targets, Walzer argues that this action would violate the principle of proportionality because innocent people would undoubtedly be affected. Additionally, "the second argument against limited nuclear war is that these limits would almost certainly not be observed" (p. 277).

That's because you're not confident enough in yourself to let your ideas develop. You have to know that you're capable of writing in order to utilize the underlying patience.Originally Posted by The Yes Guy
I've always been into writing, but I've never had the patience to stick anything out. The only things I'm proud of are two extremely short stories, because they are honestly the only two things I've ever finished. My ambition usually exceeds both my talent and my willingness to work.
Nah, that's not it at all. But it's good to know you can apply cliche advice to every situation, not just those of other people.Originally Posted by JohnnyRedStorm
