He's just a naive kid with a lot of time on his hands for whatever reason. No danger and no harm... He's spending time collecting coins and becoming familiar with the hobby while others his age are out chasing skirts, not a bad lifestyle choice I might add No doubt he heard a horror story recently which has planted the seed of doubt in his mind and created a suspicion of all coin dealers. I've been trying to sooth his concerns with PMs. A support note from one or two of you guys might go a long way and definitely pay-off in the future both for him and the hobby.

Yes it involved bad grammer, constant unanswerable questions, a keyboard, a Catholic priest and lots of shame.

This young man needs to concentrate on getting out and getting a job much more than spending a lot of time on the puter.
I wish him well.

I gotta keep trying get him into collecting the Seated coins where he stands to have a collection of coins that will appreciate in value over time.
With this common gold, all he'll ever have is bullion. Gold is a store of value. He doesn't stand to lose much, but he doesn't stand to ever make much either.
Scarce and rare coins in a series that's adding new collectors right along is where the potential for increasing his wealth lies.

I think some of you older folks forgete...$100 is alot to a kid that can only land a $5.50 an hour job and only work a few hours a week.
I know I research and look into all aspects of an invest of $100.
Good luck GCL

And I won't? What the ****? I'm sorry maybe I am too senstive or take critism badly but that is no reason to say I don't benefit from it. And I like coins just like them and everyone else there so you dont pull that crap with me.

Yes, you are too sensitive and take criticism badly. The comment you replied to is just the type of thing I suggested you ignore.
If you continue to say things like
<< <i>What the ****? >>
and
<< <i>dont pull that crap with me >>
you will quickly lose any respect you have gained and the support of people who want to help you. You were doing great - get back to it. : )
When you ask for opinions expect to get them !!
A little crap is to be expected !! Just the nature of forums in general !!
Dont sweat the small stuff man !!you'll end up screwed up !!

I have just lost all respect for you. You give YN's a bad name when you say things like that, IMO.
However, I don't believe you would...

ah yes, the infamous instructional suicide post. I seem to remember making quite a fuss over that one
You will do fine here if you stick to posting about coins and coin-related themes. Do not be drawn into discussions about yourself as you will be outwitted and befuddled at every turn. Stick to the coins.

"What would happen if I went up to a chick on the streets of tokyo and started hitting her, beating her up. I'm sure I would get arrested. If I got arrested, what would it be like? What is the legal system like there?"

It's certainly him; though his older posts that aren't displayed on the first page still are much more entertaining.

"you're", and your assessment is not quite up to par. I'm glad to hear you kicked a homeless woman out of a trailer for lying though, that's really neat ( ). Speaking of liars, and you not liking them, you'd probably learn a lot of his character by how often GCL has lied in the past to everyone on these boards.
But all and all, with weak followers thriving on the troubles of others, well, people who create multiple threads pointing out those weakneses and how they'd fix them for the 'weak' person instead of just keeping such details private certainly rank high on the list.

told I had ADHD and ADD by a doctor, which whom I don't believe. I don't know what to do. I am sad.
That alone speaks volumes. I suffered from depression for many years and there are days when you are just despondant. you will find fault with anything anyone says, it will never be right. I was on meds for a few years. They seemed to make the anxiety go away. then therapy first 3 times a week then once a week then after a year twice a month and now its on a as needed basis. There are still "moments" when I feel very sad/depressed but you can learn behavioral techniques to talk yourself through.The feelings DO pass.
You find yourself isolated not because you are a bad person, because good natured, well intended people will try to help and then withdraw when they are 'pushed away'. you will find yourself loosing jobs because of "attitude" being depressed is as contagious to other people as is yawning. it just brings people down who otherwise may have had a good prooductive day.
You may find someone you want to be involved with. They may feel the same but as time goes on the depression will rear its ugly head and she will be gone, and once again youre alone.
Boy, this brought back alot but until you take control of your life listen to the doctor and do the hard, painful work you will not get to the other side of it and conquer it. It will conquer you.
I am glad you took up a great hobby like coins. Listen to the folks with the knowledge and experience. I used to work for a gun and coin store when i was in high school. worked part time. paid me half in coins and half in cash. Along with that he gave me some valuable education learning about coins, dealing with customers, relating to people. That was 20 yrs ago and I still value that.
As you learn more about coins and the hobby you will be able to offer advice to some new collector and it will make you feel really great.
Ok, I'll get off my soapbox now....Thanks for listening and I wish you the best !!!

Since when have you been qualified to know or feel the hopes or disappointments of a son or a father... I've never heard you speak of his lies or his pain/confusion. Only your confused situations, restraunts and high-rises. Then again, maybe you two aren't too far apart... Thiggy, you and I would/will NEVER be alike or be friends. I was raised differently than you. Not worse or better but differently and I think STRONGER, I guarentee, MUCH STRONGER...
I prefer the simple like GCLs. If that bothers you then call the social workers on me...

don't cry just yet, he is now a member on the NGC Forum, having joined last week and driving us batty with tons of questions. He seems like a well meaning kid to me, although a bit too neurotic to collect something that has a good deal of money behind it.
