I have conservative and liberal friends, even religious or socialists which are two philosophies I take to task. You can be friends with anyone as long as they are of value to you, and you to them. In this case our mutual interests lie elsewhere.

I just donated a few more books. While doing so, I noticed the site says this is a 503 charity, which means that donations are tax-deductible, allowing the government o pick up part of the bill for anyone who itemizes. Reading through the requests, there was one funny one, asking for The Virtue of Selfishness, saying: "In the 21st century there are a growing number of people who have no food, home, or even clean water. And sadly, with deep pockets, huge houses fancy clothes and yet are ignorant of the sufferings around them. In order to further enlighten myself on how to be more kind i want to read this book." (The requester says he's in 7th grade) The site has almost 950 requests since Jan of this year (they prune older ones).

Nicky whenever you're competing with a girl, if you 'win' then, there's no chance you'll 'win' latter. I'd always rather 'win' latter...

I completely agree. You just need to own that story. Be proud and refuse to take any shit for it. In my book you deserve a high-five and a "good job, sir!".

@Ilya, Instead of stating that you "hate" Marxism, you should instead state that you are "a humanitarian who hates a totalitarian philosophy which has led directly to the killing of between 75 and 100 million people in the 20th-century" according to 'The Black Book of Communism' by Stéphane Courtois.
