You can be who you want to be, don't let set backs early in life hold you back

So, I have no friends. Not just that, I don't socialise either. I don't go out - I don't want to be that guy who is chatting to people like a crazy person. But I'm okay with that. The reason is simple. When you are young and are at nursery or school, you are effectively trapped with the same people for X amount of years. So you kind of have to socialise with them because if you don't then you will be lonely like me. So you can socialise as little as you need to get you through it, but then after you finish school you don't need to speak to them ever again. I don't anymore and I shouldn't feel bad about it. Because I didn't fit in with that group of people and still don't. So why should I try if it just constantly gets me down? At university it is far easier, you can chat and socialise with people you actually have things in common with, this is true for the various clubs etc. You don't have to get on with everyone because you are only h

Do Video games actually cause violence? And if so do books and movies cause it too?

For some reason whenever there is a major crime or mass shooting, video games get the blame. It's a very weak argument and a very stupid one to make too. I know a lot of people that play video games and a lot of them don't even play first person shooters, so if you're telling me that someone that plays the sims or mine craft or train simulator is going to be a mass shooter because "Video games cause violence" you can piss off. It's a very stupid argument, the people who commit mass shootings have mental health problems, combine this with a racist leader and easy to access weapons and that is how they happen. Notice how they are very rare in other countries? I mean, the fact that the leader is telling people to go back to their own countries is fucking stupid anyway. Especially when you are in the public eye and have people watch your every move. I do question the whole idea that video games cause violence, I mean on one hand it kind of makes sense because yo

America doesn't have a gun problem?

In the past week, America has had 3 mass shootings, or should I correct myself - 3 were reported in the UK. I will clarify this in a minute, but I would like to point out that America has gone too far into the abyss of owning guns to be able to come out of it. They are a regular occurrence in America and that is the problem, they have clearly very poor gun laws. There are a lot of problems with mental health etc too related to this, but this is coming down to the problem of people being able to buy a gun too easily with no background check. America has had 3 publicised mass shootings in the last week: California, El Paso and Dayton. Yet how many mass shootings have occurred in the year to date? 251. That's right, more than 1 a day has occurred so far this calendar year. Between the California shooting (28th July) to the El Paso shooting (3rd August) there were 8 mass shootings where 4 or more people got shot or killed(total of 37 between them). That is insane! The fact that 8 mas

Isn't it funny how every online dating profile is the same?

I'm noticing something very funny when it comes to online dating, that being that every single person wants someone who's different, but exactly the same. I want a guy that's nice, a guy that will look after me, will like to go on a night out but also enjoy a night in on the sofa with a takeaway. He must be over 6 foot tall, he must enjoy travelling, I want a man that wants to build a life together and who isn't afraid to meet my parents. There are so many things that are so vague, I know it's difficult to write about yourself we all know that. But seriously? I can send the same opening line to 20 different women, all with the same about me section and get no responses. That's probably to do with my face more than the message, but even then, all they want is someone hot who will fit the social norm and will treat them like a queen. Fuck that! I mean will she even treat her man like a king? Even if you talk to someone on a dating website, all they are after i
