Anger.

What are you talking about?
Porn is free and abundant, isn't it?

No. Lit is free porn. But to access Lit, you need a computer, a house, something to keep the computer from being stolen, etc. Normally, these things cost money. Accessing porn on public computers is frequently frowned upon when not illegal, and could risk you a fine.

Having other people be your source of porn requires winning their friendship, and it is very hard to win friendships without some money to help smooth things along.

It might interest you to know that libraries in WA are not allowed to restrict their website content, only clearly post that parents are responsible for monitoring minors. They also have Playboys available (most end up stolen though) and erotic books. (I picked up Justine when I was 14)

He ignored me for another woman?
He's going to see the true meaning of the word anger!

Speaking of which, what's a MildManneredMuffin like you hanging out in a thread like this?

Shouldn't you be doing the dance of joy in the winner's circle? And don't try any polite but false humility with me, I've known too many writers to fall for that one.

I would just like to get back to the topic of anger for a second. I think anger is a necessary emotion...it clues us in to what our limits are and what we will and will not tolerate.

I'd be very suspicious of someone who says they never get angry. Of course how one expresses that anger is another matter entirely, but I believe it must be expressed or else it will either become diffused as depression or will grow as in rage.

Thanks for coming, a copy of my best seller "Merely Hormonal" is available in the lobby.

Would you sign mine, "To Nora...from one hormonal broad to another! -KM"

I once lived in Oregon, the state that has the highest percentage (not number) of Buddhists in the US. I became interested in exploring various religions when I was younger and naturally Buddhism and Christianity were at the top of my list. Buddhists say that you can rid yourself of anger by ridding yourself of desire. And, some, Christians say that you can rid yourself of anger by embracing love completely.

I don't think you have to be angry. I think the way you feel is a choice. I person doesn't have to become depressed or fell rage, as much as they have to reject the cause of their anger.
