    Should I have 'cracked' long ago?

    After reading all of the 'hate' against me, which seems relatively arbitrary, it's gotten me thinking. Would a normal person who has undergone the same circumstances have 'ended it all' a long time ago? Should I be dead already in terms of having a mental break down and ending it all? Maybe the...

    Do they make guns smaller than 9mm?

    If so, why aren't they more common? If not, why don't they make them? It would see like making a 2mm gun would be an excellent detterent with out it being life threatening.

    My friend and I both have linksys routers and while we'd like to assume it's our cable connection, sometimes the internet works on one computer and not the other.
