One, I am not an idiot... I know that lasers can f­uck up the eyes('cept for the <5mW ones... I don't think they do much), that doesn't change the fact that I have compulsions that are VERY hard to control. Two, I originally came to the forum to find out what was wrong with my current laser, and...
