In Finland more or less the same as bballer described is done, at least it has the same idea. Under 18, you can drink 0.7% (But it's probably that way everywhere else) at 18 it's something around 4.7%, and then it goes unlimited at 21.

The second statement isn't true anymore, if you sign up with your age set to below 13 it only allows you in the quickchat-only worlds. Pretty creepy IMO.

You do know that what is described as "Early Christianity" in that still exists, right? That picture is flawed.

I have a goal; Complete the wikibook Blender 3D: Noob to pro in its entirety. It starts out very basic, that should help. We need moar 3D modelers on the gallery.

I think it's fine for kids to have parties, as long as they aren't obnoxious like on said tv show.

This has interested me in the show, I think I'll watch one.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on that, no point taking it into a flame war.

Name one good reason why suicide is a tragedy. There are a few. I would call that a tragedy too. I.E. Suicide can -> Tragedies. I'm with you on that first part. Suicide is not an option. Ever. It isn't justified either. But surely it is a sad thing? As for the second part, I somehow doubt you have had clinical depression. It seems like a plausible, justified option to people in severe enough cases, it is a psychological, what would you say, handicap maybe, that drastically affects the way a person thinks. I'm still not saying it's right to do.

Suicide isn't a tragedy. Suicide is stupid. I beg to differ.

The only reason why I would limit alcohol is by the deaths of innocent people dying, such as in a drunken car accident. But killing themselves, I couldn't care less. I'll be honest, that's quite selfish of you. Any death is a tragedy.

The drinking age here is already 18, and it leads to some pretty nasty statistics; 1,630 people aged 15-64 in Finland died of alcohol poisoning in 2006. [source] So you could say that in all, about 2,000 Finnish die every year (All ages) of alcohol poisoning. If 2,000 died in one year in a war, it would be a tragedy. About 800-900 people die in a year of the Iraq war, for comparison.

I really like this one, it's one of your best IMO. You did the smudging right. Only thing I would suggest is to add a bit of a different color somewhere in there, there's a bit too much orange/red in there I think.

Plus one to that.

Because you can. :roll: What a waste.

That's one thing I like about Finland, nearly all education is free. No matter how financially challenged you are, you can go to any school at all, as long as it's within a reasonable distance.

I plan on staying home, browsing TIF. I'll have the normal birthday party with my family, with cake and such, but I can't imagine spending anything, let alone inviting someone or getting some band to play. Mmmm, pizza. Call me boring, but I don't plan to do anything more than that, for my 18th (When I can legally get a full driver's license here, yay) either. I don't like parties.

I have always wanted to get a pilot's license, but a) I wouldn't know where to go, when to start, (As in, can I do it right after I leave the school I'm in now, when I'm 16 or do I have to go somewhere else first?) and B) Nobody takes me seriously when I say I want to be a pilot. It's not like I'm a 5 year old saying "I want to be a firefighter" one day, "I want to be a policeman" the next, and "I want to be a pilot" the next, repeat. Any advice, people?

I doubt you are. This is a failed attempt to say "We feel your pain" by the corporation that makes them, and unless the greater part or the rest of the money after that it costs to make them is being donated to victims/charities, it's really pointless. I wouldn't say the same about, for example, a painting an independent artist made about it.

So much could be slowing down your computer, that it's nearly impossible to know without details. Some basic guidelines: 1. Did you install new software lately? 2. Have you done a virus/spyware scan? 3. When did you last defragment your disk? 4. Which processes are taking up the most CPU time? 5. --"-- the most RAM? 6. If it's the internet that's lagging, are you or other people on your network using connection intensive things like torrents on a high bandwidth allocation? 7. Is your computer really laggy on startup, or is the lag constant? 8. Or if your computer is old, it could be that what you are using your computer for is simply too much for the processor and amount of RAM that you have.

May I ask, which Nordic country? I suspect you're in one of the Nordic NATO members. And he said it already, as I'm also up in the North. Except I don't pay taxes with a smile.

Really sorry people... I came here with the intention of saying that I was going to do the latest requests, as I have been away from the shop to do some graphics work for my dad's website. Then I got stung by a wasp. Twice. Once on my neck, a second time on my hand, which makes it hard to type. I'll have to wait for the swelling to go down on my hand before I can do more.

I'm wondering why you're using bash instead of a GUI...

Yeah, that basically describes my RS visitation habits.

No, I think it's something from South Park. I've only watched a few episodes, I'm not sure.

Wow... Seriously. I mean, no offense, but one big mac? :?
