• (4 votes) What is ‘God’ to you?
  

  [quote Qzzz]Personally, do not try to rationalize my faith. The Bible is the Word of God and take it literally. Never questioning anything. This is not ignorance, as some would say…it is what I believe![/quote]
  You have that right. But as a person of unconventional faith, I believe that faith unexamined is blind trust, that it is willful ignorance. The person who takes another’s absolute declarations as holy, carelessly holds seeds of violence. Any belief worth holding dear, any God worthy of adoration, will not shrink before an inquisitive mind.

• (4 votes) What do you like about the Help.com profile page?
  

  Just please, DEAR GOD, don’t make it so we can clutter it up like Myspace. The few profiles I have visited there are so saccharine with busy glitz that I had trouble reading them and decided not to make an account.

  Invite your friends. Invite your neighbors. Call out the National Guard. Vote with your outbox.
  
  For too long, the administrator(s) for help.com have neglected the site. While it goes further and further downhill technically, desperate people continue to show up here, searching for answers to serious issues, and often looking for a reason not to commit suicide.
  
  To leave this site in such a state of disrepair is unconscionable. If it’s not making money, fine, I understand that. But with a simple, four-letter word like “help”, a word that is both a verb and a noun, with a .com domain, it MUST be financially valuable.
  
  The contact info is at the top of this post. Come on people, email them. Say whatever you will. My message to CBS will be..
  
  Fix help.com or close it and sell it. Leaving it in the hands of volunteers with little power or authority, unattended by a competent admin, is a legal liability to CBS and a disservice to the public.

  [quote younglostlife2]well nobody cares doctors or anyone i tried to get help years ago but know it is far worse i told a hospital doctor i was hearing voices he said its normal and left never suggested help iwas shocked and know i know why i am worthless to help i will never be anybody inportint or anything so why help a worthless person[/quote]
  
  That’s pretty shocking that a doctor would say that, but I guess it happens. So, are you just going to give up on getting psychiatric help because some careless, selfish doctor wouldn’t take the time to guide you in the right direction? Going to give up because some family members or crappy friends didn’t come through for you?
  
  Listen to this. You need to hear this.
  
  You have to find a way to get real, psychiatric help, and you have to make it happen yourself. It’s your life. No one is going to hold your hand or make the appointment for you. You have to care about your life if you want it to change.
  
  Second, yes there are jerks in the world, it’s teaming with them, but there are also good people. Find some.
  
  Third, no human being is worthless. So long as you are breathing there is hope for you.

• (3 votes) I’m not a real part of anyone’s lives online, at most I can just be someone to talk to…
  

  People can conceal their real selves in person or online, but online deception is easier because you can intuit so much from a person’s body language, which isn’t possible in a written format.
  
  In my opinion, Ikari, your online relationships are surface level. High school is a crash course in socialization, and as such it distorts one’s view of how people should interact. Lot’s of kids in school disassociate from others as a defense mechanism.
  
  The internet allows anyone to create an artificial persona, and you have created a cool one. But the lack of authentic connection you feel (IMHO) is because you risk little. People know your sense of humor and intellect, but you don’t reveal your heart.
  
  Others online who reveal their hearts have arguments, get hurt, make up, feel warmth, get close, grow distant, reconnect. In order to gain much, you have to risk much.

• Questions about getting published
  

  They say they do, but there’s a catch 22. Publishers prefer writers with agents. Agents prefer writers who have been published. But everyone who gets published was at some time a first-time author. Here’s another link that may help you.

  [quote Anonymous]is there any way that i don’t risk my own money[/quote]
  
  Yes, submit your work to publishers. Buy a copy of Writers Market. It has a listing of publishers and the genre’s they specialize in.

• Questions about getting published
  

  The publishing industry is hard to crack. “Vanity” publishers will charge you to publish your work. I once published my own book myself using http://www.amazon.com/Dan-Poynters-Self-Publishing-Manual-16th/dp/1568601425/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1259988864&sr=1-1 It’s pretty complicated and you have to risk your own money, but then you get to keep more of the profits.
  
  Or you could try the Amazon.com service Booksurge http://www.booksurge2.com/bks_csp/index.php?ref=461220&cp=70170000000Ax5L&ls=Search_Marketing&sls=Yahoo_BKS&smk=BookSurge&OVRAW=booksurge&OVKEY=booksurge&OVMTC=standard&OVADID=32033494021&OVKWID=178747813521

• Does anybody know why help.com is for some reason not uploading my avatar image each time I try to send it?
  

  [quote runzxc870]So this kind of makes you wonder…
  
  wouldn’t it be easier just to put a notice on the upload screen saying “broken”, rather than over-working this poor automated helpbot?![/quote]
  
  The admin would do that if he was ever here, which he isn’t. The mods do the best they can but they can’t program the site.
