OK, you state clearly that this is his Bday. Then when called out about the discrepency, come up with this gem.

<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>also I had my dates messed up, it's almost 31 years to the day, not 30</end quote></div>

Fine. I can buy that. This would be a really exciting thing to hear (in some ways, in others terribly emotionally damaging) so I can buy that you would have some dates messed up.

But then...



<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>I've always had dreams about having an older brother, a lot of them were actually pretty accurate apparently. </end quote></div>

Accurate? See the next quote...

<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>I'm 25, he'd be 32 now</end quote></div>

So there's a 7 year difference between you and your brother, yet he was given up for adoption at 10 months old. So there's no way that you can have any accurate dreams about him.

I'm not saying that your whole story is BS, it may very well be that you have an older brother, but the level of sensationalism that you are adding to this story for attention is taking away from the potential realism of what you claim, thereby negating the factuality of the whole story.

Buh?

I never said I met him? That's the point of the thread, if I had already met him I wouldn't be excited...unless I'm completely missing your point

YOU MISSED THE POINT!

He is calling you a bold faced liar. Just like SVT.

I don' read enough to have an opinion on your realism, but if true it would be exciting and yet some how I still wouldn't want to meet him. Just too weird.
 
even if it isn't true, why the hell do you guys care so much? the people on this forum just love to find any reason to put someone else down. the funny thing is that these people are the same ones telling other people to get a life...

But you said that you were having accurate dreams about him, which is a sensationalist claim. That was the point of my post: to show you that your sensationalist statements are in conflict with the factual elements of your story, the effect of which is that it makes the potential truths in your story very, very suspicious.

He is calling you a bold faced liar. Just like SVT.

Don't start with the flamebait...

I never called him a liar, see above...

aaah, ok I see waht you mean now. Well that's how it goes. I've always had dreams about it. Maybe it's somethign I've always wanted, and what I wanted/imagined/dreamed about just happened to be close to the truth. It wasn't PERFECT, like I didn't innately know what his name was, or his exact age.

Beats me, I never understood that. Some posts I've made that people called shens on, (having a friend who looks vaguely like Eli Manning and getting drunk girls to believe it, Judging a hot body contest AT A CLUB WHERE I KNOW THE BOUNCERS, eating a cracker, etc.) aren't even THAT unbelievable in the first place.

I imagine the typical weekend to do list of the people screaming shens to look something like this:

Sit at home.
take closeup pictures of bicep.
tell people how to detail their car.
degrade people on an internet forum.
dispute claims of anyone who can lift more than / socialize more than /make more than me.
Cry in my closet until the heaving of my chest from the sobbing exhausts me and I pass out into sweet oblivion.

I had to give my parents up for adoption; I just wasn't ready to be parented at the time. It was pretty sad but the very nice lady at the adoption agency said she was sure that they would find a nice loving baby to take care of them. The last time I saw them, my father was hugging my mother who was crying hysterically. It took everything I had to crawl away from them.</end quote></div>

Yeah, I was very irresponsible back then. I think I was just too young to have parents.

I always found ATOT interesting. Someone could post saying they'd have cancer, and 90% of the people would be supportive, like they are in this thread. But then losers like SVT come in and say 'shens' and saying someone's lying. Even that thread I made about judging a hot body contest...people actually thought THAT was out of the realm of possibility? I can't imagine being so shallow and pathetic that I'd actually believe others would take the time to lie on an internet message board, or that their basic stories about their lives sound too fantastic to be true. If you don't believe me, that's fine.

I said I don't portray an image that does my mother justice, well you SVT don't portray an image that gives ANYONE you're related to justice. You sound like a negative run of the mill scum pale with an internet connection and a fetish for a piss poor domestic car. You're pathetic.

If it was not obvious you were lying in all your posts I would be supportive and serious, but I know you are just a kid looking for attention.

And for a 3rd and final time little boy, I ask, in what thread have I Obviously lied? Again, if you find any of my threads before this one to be even vaguely too outlandish to be true you must have absolutely no life. And as others have said, why do you care? You can't get enough of me, every one of my threads you post 3 or 4 times calling shens for such amazing feats I have demonstrated, such as working, eating breakfast, and going to the club. Were you neglected as a child and want attention now? Tell ya what, I'll make you a deal. If you have a garage, go sit in your car, turn the mustang on, and just sit there with the thing running for a few hours. Do that and I'll hang myself. I promise. I'm right behind ya!

My friend just adopted a girl four months ago from a Russian orphanage. Her parents couldn't afford to take care of her. She will definitely have a better life than she would have otherwise. Hope your brother had the same chance.</end quote></div>

I really hope he does too. Ironically when I asked today about him, it was almost 30 years to the day since she gave him up.


My mom's been having a weird feeling about him lately, and the reason I asked is that I kept having these dreams about a brother.</end quote></div>

Okay..now you're getting too sappy. Drop the charades. Shens.</end quote></div>

well my mom's having weird feelings about him because it's been almost 30 years since she gave him up. I've always had dreams about having an older brother, a lot of them were actually pretty accurate apparently.

Plus they were in a horrid neighborhood and she feared for all of their safety, and she refused to go on welfare and just leach off of that. </end quote></div>

Your mom has my highest respect. Not only did she not shirk her responsibility by trying to get an abortion, but she refused to take advantage of tax payers' and leach.
You should be proud of your mom, because she's made of stern stuff.

EDIT: If all this is shens like peeps are claiming, go to hell.

Well to humor this post...my mom was supposedly carrying another child before my little brother was born, but she miscarried. Evidently, my little bro would have been my little sister.

freedomsbeat212 and that idiot who always talks about boston.

luckily they created the YAGT forum to make their garbage easier to ignore.
 
I know I have another brother somewhere, but I've got 0 information on him. Almost the opposite of Accipiter22's mom's situation; my Dad and his girlfriend had a baby, he was all ready to step up and be a father, she vanished when the kid was just a few months old. He got home from work one day, she was standing on the stairs with her last bag of stuff and basically said "Don't try to find us."

Isn't Accippiter22 from Boston? Or is it Chicago?
