Black history month
[spoiler=Speech about double standards warning some strong language]Someone finally said it. How many are actually paying attention to this? There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc. And then there are just Americans. You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,' 'Whitey,' 'Caveman' ... and that's OK. But when I call you, [racist term], K***, T**** head, Sand-[racist term], C**** Jockey, Beaner, [grime], or [racist term] ... You call me a racist. You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live? You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day. You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day. You have Yom Hashoah. You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi. You have the NAACP. You have BET. If we had WET (White Entertainment Television) we'd be racists. If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists. If we had White History Month, we'd be racists. If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives we'd be racists. We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce. Wonder who pays for that? A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant. If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships you know we'd be racists. There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US. Yet if there were 'White colleges' THAT would be a racist college. In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists. You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists. You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist. I am proud. But you call me a racist. Why is it that only whites can be racists? I think some of the examples are extreme, but the general idea I agree with.

But what if they're both drunk? I believe the law heavily favors the female in cases like that, seeing as its pretty difficult to rape a male. I'm sure if you knocked them out, forced them with a weapon, or physically overpowered them then you could make the case that he was raped. In all other cases, its going to be ruled in favor of the female though. ...? If a man can rape a woman a woman can rape a man. Regardless of how our stupid sexist judicial system sees it, that's how it is. It's not difficult to rape a male if you plan it at all.

Not to mention kids know and have used plenty of swears by age 10 anyway. At least in the US.

Drinking/Drugs
Okay, well, I've tried wine (reds and whites), beer, anise, and vodka. They all tasted bitter and terrible.

Drinking/Drugs
Never been drunk, never drank in an attempt to get drunk. Taste of alcohol is absolutely disgusting to me. Bleehhhh

The Right to Hate
Hating is fine, but if you start harassing or attacking others then it's not fine.

Tipping
They would rather you give nothing than give pennies. Might as well give them the finger too if you're going to do that.

Croce is very anti-Zionist. I must say I agree with him.

Copying vs. taking is not splitting hairs at all. We've hashed this out over and over in this thread. They are not the same thing and should not be treated exactly the same.

I didn't even make that. OT: Not a lot actually.

What kind of cereal do you eat to cut your gums? Kibbles n' Tacks? Ever tried Captain Crunch? Yeah, but I used my teeth.

Controllers.
I should mention I have triggers for my controller (I believe they're called PS3 real triggers). I can't play without them now, they're so much better.

Free Healthcare for lawbreakers?
Just so you know, we do. Also, higher life insurance premiums. Not to mention very high taxes on cigarettes.

You guys don't get it. Gamestop gives you a usable code if you buy a game they label "new". If it didn't work for you, then you go back and tell them about it and they'll give you a new one.

Real life help & advice
But don't overdo it and warm up first. You'll be even worse off if you strain or pull something and it might make you (undeservedly) not want to lift again.

Yeah, I see what you mean. But first, we didn't have to cite any information at all, it was an in-school timed essay (we had 3 hrs max to do the whole exam, so you had max 2 hrs to write the essay). And second, I'm already a very critical thinker IMO. I've always found it easy to pull information out of text and to understand what's really happening (thank you, genetics). School and I don't go well together I think, because the school is set up to teach us to read between the lines and analyze well, whereas I already kind of do that and want to go further. Also not trying to sound conceited here, even though I probably am :mellow:

Skyrim if you don't have it. Or GTA IV, I've put more hours into that just blowing stuff up and having fun than any other game, although GTA V is in the works.
