^Well moron, if you want to become a writer then go ahead. But with the writing skills that you have showed on this site, I wouldn't recommend it.

GOOD LUCK!

Not to shabby.
Carfanman - I had no idea you were 14. Until now I had respected your choice because it was a rather original way that you were supporting yourself... now... YOUR 14 YEARS OLD.. Good God kid, get back to school and LEARN. Why are you not learning, and devoting yourself to self-enrichment through school? You can NOT honeslty tell anyone, be it on this site, or anywhere for that matter, that you intend to accomplish something in life, having been a school dropout at the age of 14. Smarten up, and go back to school.

Yes you can...and no, I personally do not doubt that...BUT what I do doubt, is that by spending all your time on Beyond, and reading from this forum, or the porn forums you frequent you will not accomplish anything in your lifetime. And no, your "ritin" skills are pretty much what you show on this forum...No body really changes their writing style...they type how they speak (for the most part)

Not a single one of those "accomplishments" is anything special. It's what these people did later that made them special. Sugar Ray started boxing at 14? Big fucken deal. He had a natural gift that LATER gave him the ability to become champion.

And he probably had the mental capacity to negotiate deals and count his earnings...
