The person giving the apology would most likely be someone who didn't support the holocaust or slavery, so it wouldn't really count. I think apologies are just for admitting you were wrong. Apologies on behalf of others don't really hold any weight.

That's the number one thing I learned in my marketing class: Fool the customer into thinking you're selling something better than what it really is. I never did get why they taught those kinds of morals in school. :blink:

Now that I think of it all my fun activities like gaming, drinking, smoking, and listening to music aren't to help me relax. They are to liven me up. I guess I don't really like being relaxed that much. It feels unproductive to me. When I want to relax I just sleep.

Haha, why? I don't think it's that big of a deal. Unless they were to actually make those foods, it's just useless information. PS: I learned how to make bread from Runescape too. And I also learned that steel derives from iron.

The Invention of Lying That English guy is starting to grow on me. Not that he's funny or anything. I just enjoy his company.

I just maxed out the achievement points for Fallout 3 today (excluding the add-ons). Fun game, but once you get to the end it becomes a bit too tedious. Oh and traveling through the wasteland and metro is a [bleep]. I'll probably start playing Oblivion soon.

What's the big idea about bashing jeans? I sleep in mine when it's not too hot. Ooo and my legs are nice and hairy. :) I have a pair of girl arms though so I guess that makes up for my manly legs.

Sorry, I thought by "ignorant" you were referring to rudeness or something along those lines. Please forgive my ignorance. :oops: I think it's fine to try to help them if you want to, but I really don't see why this should be a job for police. If someone is having psychological problems about their own life's worth, that's beyond a typical police officer's field of expertise. Just to clarify, my argument is that I think this is not a smart move for the police to make (I'm not really trying to pass judgment on Jagex in this debate). Perhaps if someone is trying to jump off a building police intervention would be appropriate, since it would make a devastating scene in front of the public and all, but I don't think they should put any case where someone mentions the word "suicide" (no matter the context) as one of their top priorities. If you sent a police officer to every person who ever joked about suicide, they'd be too busy to do anything else. So really, I agree with you that any kind of help can be beneficial in a lot of cases, but it's just not worth the police's time to look into every little situation where suicide has been mentioned. Using that time to prevent murders, rapes, burglaries, and other large crimes seems like a much better investment of their time in my opinion.

I agree. A single mention of the word "suicide" shouldn't warrant an investigation. I remember one time my brother was talking about the special move called "Spirit Bomb" from Dragon Ball Z and the teacher reported him for making a bomb threat. People really need to look at the context before making big leaps such as contacting the police. Why are so many people ignorant about the actual meaning of the word "ignorant"? :huh: I've had it happen to someone close to me. From my experiences, contacting officials doesn't really help the situation. It made it worse. That's not to say they probably haven't helped some people before, but it's silly to think that the police are some kind of superheroes who magically have the power to get depressed strangers to appreciate life. I bet you that most people in that situation just lie about being happy and whatnot to get the police out of their hair. And like I said before, it can be humiliating. Sometimes people just want their friends and family to pay attention to them and getting the police involved is way more attention than they wanted.

Trade limit and brawler gloves.

Alternately, anyone claiming that they've had a bad day can commit it too.

Depressing, isn't it? 6010

I wiggled on my bed like a worm for a minute or two. Most exercise I've done all year.

Embarrassment is one of the few emotions that I don't experience. Well, I guess you can say I embarrass myself sometimes, but I don't really get embarrassed in front of other people. My shame only comes from within.

While the fillers are annoying, I find their social commentaries to be hilarious. I like all of the shows that you listed, but each in a different way (except American Dad).

Most of the time, since it's an ONLINE GAME, kids are just joking around. It's just internet etiquette to fool around about stuff like that. Now, I'm not saying it never happens, but it's such a rare occurrence, and I highly doubt somebody who legitimately wanted to would be swayed by some random police at their front door. They are wasting the police's time. I mean, if somebody has a bulge in their pocket, there is a very small chance that it could be a gun. Does that mean police should search anybody with a bulge in their pocket? No, it's a waste of their time when they could be doing something where they know (or have a high suspicion) that there is a real problem. Like somebody said earlier, instead of trying to save people who do want to die, why not use that valuable police time to save people who don't want to die from murderers or something? Those are some pretty presumptuous and unfair claims. For what it's worth, I do agree with him and I have been in a situation where someone very close to me has tried to several times. And honestly, getting officials involved only exacerbates the problem. 1. It's humiliating. 2. They're more likely to listen to people they know who are seriously concerned than a stranger who is getting paid to "help". PS: I think suicide is a pretty pathetic solution to fixing your problems, but if you want to do it then that's your own business. It's your life. Now, I think it's completely fine to argue somebody out of suicide if you deem it as the wrong move to make, but you're not in the position to enforce it upon someone. Give them your reasons. Try to convince them. Don't lock them up in a room with a straight-jacket. PS2: I think this would be cooler in Off-Topic.

I think generalizations are fine if there is truth behind them.

Reservoir Dogs again. It was a lot better the second time around.

Everything that has happened has a logical explanation. Maybe, as human beings, that logic is beyond our reach. But it is out there somewhere or else it wouldn't have happened. Humans used to see it as illogical that there were floating orbs of light in the sky. "Things can't stay in the sky forever! Everything falls down!" Then we figured out that the reason everything (as in everything that humans have observed on this planet) falls is because of the gravity in our planet's atmosphere, which isn't a constant throughout outer space. At the time, humans didn't have the means to acquire such knowledge. The logic was beyond our reach, and I think "illogical" mysteries only exist because we simply cannot comprehend them yet. Not because they truly have an illogical explanation (that just sounds illogical!). The answer is out there somewhere - we just need to keep searching for it.

While I admit that is quite shocking, there has to be a logical answer to it. We just don't know what it is.

Maybe he's she's just more convincing? :P EDIT: Sorry, I always assume TIFers are guys.

Why would you do something that you deemed as non-beneficial to yourself? Heck, even if you wanted to do something non-beneficial, you still wanted to do it, so it would constitute as beneficial to you. I'm quite confused, so maybe you could clarify a little. As opposed to doing things because it benefits us, why do we choose to do the things we do?
