There's no universal set of "symptoms" which tell whether someone likes you or not. It very much depends on the person. Flirting is included in that. Some extroverts will like to flirt anyway to get a reaction from those around them, whilst introverts are more likely to not flirt, even if they are interested in someone, to keep their feelings to themselves. If you know the girl, you can probably tell if her behaviour's telling you she likes someone. If you think your gut feeling's right, ask her who she likes. That's the only way you'll ever know for sure.

Becoming the very thing you seemingly hate? Priceless. What? Where did I say I hate religion?

If religious groups are allowed to advertise their beliefs, I see no reason why Atheists can't do the same. It's called fairness, and I like it.

Ooo, I missed this. Did I mention some 90% of doctors in the UK work for the NHS, and they actually still remain self-employed? See, that's the thing. Because so few people actually choose private health care, the NHS is also a huge source of jobs in the public sector. The NHS is the third biggest employer in the world, after Walmart and the US DoD, employing 1.3 million people. In fact come to think of it, if we go back to basic Keynesian economics, there's one possible way to solve the unemployment problem as global recession starts to kick in. I can't think of a better public works project. EDIT: I'm sorry, I just had to lol at this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/us_ ... 681168.stm

Probably only an hour or two a day now.

Your complete ignorance to the world around you astounds me more and more every time you post. Firstly, poor people are not poor simply for being lazy. I have no idea where you've got that myth, because not even the GOP would support that comment. No Christian church service I've ever been to has insinuated that either. Interestingly enough, Newsnight (on the BBC) had a report from Paul Mason last night from Michigan. Apparently, the top three jobs there are: [*:w9pgumk5]Restaurant/fast food outlet worker [*:w9pgumk5]Shop assistant [*:w9pgumk5]Cashier Neither of which earn more than $10 an hour on average. This isn't even an economically challenged area either - it's post-industrialist America. For context, that amount is effectively below the legal minimum wage in this country for 16 year olds. The issue is not that poor people are lazy, it's that the gap between the rich and the poor is too wide. If your myth was true, that most poor people are lazy, the economy would grind to a halt since no one would be working for middle-class business owners. As for the homeless, I'd have thought it obvious why a homeless man can't apply for a job without a home address.

Nice. Somewhere we agree. Fair enough. America still remains a centre-right country though, so you have to be careful about analysing anything in America through the prism of socialism. You guys would call the Labour Party in this country socialist when there's absolutely no way it is socialist by our standards. The NHS is a socialist idea, I'll concede that much (kinda ironic how it gains so much support though), Medicare certainly is not a socialist idea - it's a compromise. The NHS also took a large amount of commitment from the old Labour Party (namely, Nye Bevan), a War, and the Beveridge Report to be created - no chance of that happening any time soon in America. Also, about Obama's "spreading the wealth" thing. That's not really socialist either. What it is is a recognition that a wide gap between the rich and the poor is not good for any economy, capitalist or socialist, except possibly a fascist one where minorities become the poor. The reason being that if the poor become richer, they'll spend more as consumers, and that will drive up tax revenues, boost business, and generally get more money flowing around the economy. It also raises the poverty line, meaning less people suffer from absolute poverty.

That's your humble opinion. The NHS has huge public support in the UK. It's not perfect, but we're a lot better for it. If you wanna go private, you still can with BUPA and the like. If your mum's friend would have gone to A&E at any hospital (since it was after all an emergency) she'd have been seen to in a couple of hours. Why do you like Rise Against when you're a right-wing Republican? Obama's economic views are not close to my own, but they're closer than McCain's. It is possible to support things outside of your own political scope.

A bit of competition is almost vital for a healthy lifestyle. : Apart from that, I found out today playing GH3 for the music is far more rewarding than playing it to get 100% on Expert.

Nice, stable relationship, I take it. :P

Come on guys. He's made two posts. He clearly isn't familiar with the forum like you are, so just cut some slack? What consoles have you got?

Oh, woops, I know you didn't call me a bigot. I'm just saying Marxism is only an economic viewpoint, but there's so much more to both Barack and McCain. And yes, there is a certain amount of smearing from both sides in an election. That's the nature of democracy. But I think with Obama it's also a genuine interest to change things for the better, whilst with McCain, every move he takes seems to be an attempt to keep hold of power. I can't see what good he's gonna do if he gets into that role, except some vague promise to end terrorism and protect "morality" (which is foolish anyway given everyone has different morals), while Obama has policies which are in the interests of humanitarianism. I actually supported Hillary from the beginning, for her promise of national healthcare. Healthcare is one of the issues right in the heart of leftist politics, as is shown by the NHS in this country, which is a key issue in every election here, and that's why I feel so strongly for it. Obama's nowhere near Hillary's level, but he's somewhat better than McCain who would still allow people to go without treatment when there's resources available because all the money's going to Iraq.

It might just be she doesn't want to kiss you? Being in a relationship doesn't equate to shoving your tongue down each others' throats every two hours. She needs her own time as well. ;) In all honesty though, I'm not gonna be able to tell you why she won't kiss you anymore than she would tell you if you asked her. Ask her in a flirty way at first, to see if she's just playing, but if she's not, ask her why if you want and respect her decision.

I'm a Marxist, not a bigot. I suppose the reason I support Obama is through a total dislike of the Republican Party and what it stands for at the moment. You know, remove all the "maverick" rubbish Palin tries to dress McCain as, he really isn't any different to Bush aside from a few (10%) minor details. He believes the war should continue, all the while being paid for through taxes, when the war is of questionable worth. You might win, but what's the point in the war when you're dying from a terminal illness you can't afford to pay to treat anyway? At least with Medicare, you know that money's going towards the health of your fellow countrymen, which in turn, improves production and makes for a happier and stronger economy. His beliefs (or at least Palin and most of the GOP) are quite clearly rooted deeply in theology, and as we know, mixing religion and politics is generally considered a bad idea. To force theological beliefs by denying certain rights on those who aren't religious is wrong, just as it would be wrong for me as an Agnostic to call for Churches and all their charities to be closed down, on the grounds of "immorality". His campaign is riddled with hypocrisy, smears and lies. To have Palin swanning around, trying to affiliate Obama with terrorism, to have activists trying to dig up rumours that he's a Muslim, or to try and give the idea that Obama is a socialist is misleading. Control by fear is the sign of a poor manager. If he's this dishonest on his campaign, imagine what he'd be like as President.

Are you actually going to answer my point or do you just want to make smear games? Because if you do, I can play all day through PMs.

My Brawl name's G.W. (my tag's Liam). I think it might have been Nintendo though. I did some searching and it seems that Error Code has something more to do with Nintendo's servers being crowded.

Who do you think you're talking to? My family came here with *nothing*. My parents' degrees were considered worthless in this country so they had to go through school again whilst working and get re-certified. Well done for your parents, but do you want a medal or something? You ain't the only one to come from a poor background, so get over yourself. The fact of the matter is some people don't earn enough to afford the basic essentials of living. Those aren't essentials decided by them, that's essentials decided by independent surveys, and there are still many people living below the poverty line. Such people need to be topped up from the government. Those who exploit the system are scum and they're in a minority of those who claim for benefits. For the matter, Canada has a capitalist economy with a (fairly) high tax rate. All countries now have a capitalist economy of some sort, so I don't see how your comparison to the US is at all relevant.

Ahh yes, I forgot. People are on benefits because they're lazy, not because they possibly might need them to pay for fuel to heat their homes, or put food on the table, despite working just as hard with some crap job or bringing up children.

I'll play with you if you want. I'm online, if you want to play. Coming online now then. Mac, have you definitely got me added to your Friend's list? It keep coming up with Error Code 80430 but it might just be a technical thing with Nintendo.

I'll play with you if you want.

Nice. Someone who plays the game for adventure instead of a number. Great read. :

Let's play this down as much as possible: [*:1njysitb]Well, Powell's really a close friend of McCain so he really supports McCain more. [*:1njysitb]It's not like donated anything so he doesn't support Obama. [*:1njysitb]He's only looking for a black President, so his opinion's invalid! All these blacks got each other's backs covered. *insert typical McCain fake-smile* I thought I'd get in first. :roll:

I believe they're the result of homebrew, and if I'm not mistaken, that's TL in the shape of ROB (curvy arms, flat thick base). You can even make everyone's frames turn into Mario: DO THE MARIO OR DIE!!! m6gxlbk19SE

Absolutely. Which is why the Warriors finished 8th. Amazing. Mind you, credit where credit is due. You beat Tonga. Well done! =D> [/sarcasm]

Can't at the moment. I got a pretty heavy cold and a splitting headache so I'm gonna try and sleep it off. If I see you online though, I'll PM you, if that's OK?
