    My money is in oil, the strongest currency. I also doubt the dollar will collapse anytime soon. Just because it is worth less than the Euro doesn't mean it will die. The Chinese still own the US currency, it's not like they sold it for Euros, which would be a bad thing.
  2. Adult (21-25) Weight: 240 lbs Height: 6'0" Bench Press: 160 lbs Squat: about 3 years ago it was 350 One arm curl: 40 Two arm curl: 120 Leg Press: 380 1 mile run: 8 minutes 100 yard dash: 18 seconds (sprints from marching band, and I can do it while carrying a 15 pound instrument.) I just do weights every day, alternating each day on lower and upper body. I run at least 1 mile every day by treadmill. If not, I ride 10 miles on a stationary bike.
  3. So you would rather have Eugenics and deny basic human rights versus tainting the gene pool like .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%? Not worth it. At all. EDIT: Who's the one making the decision if another has good enough genes, anyways? Too much control.
  4. The graffitti is in Spanish, and look at the people. They are obviously of West European or native Americana origin.
  5. Used to have braces. I now have an inner occidental bridge on my bottom jaw (basically permament braces on the inner side of the teeth) to keep those teeth in position.

    Actually, did you have a sinus illness? Sinus trouble can cause rapid earwax buildup, which can block the canal causing a blocked sensation. There are earwax kits at any pharmacy that can remove this buildup. It would be a good idea to let a doctor take a look at it first, though. Please, when you have medical issues, talk to your doctor first. None of us here at TIF are medically trained. Talk to the professional first, please!
  7. That Mexico City? I've seen similar pictures. Something like 10,000+ people live in what we would call a single city block.
  8. Gotta say... they've got a cheek asking others to share the wealth lol. America does not have a severe problem with wealth distribution. Not to mention that Clinton, Daddy, and Reagan all started like you and me and made their fortunes. The current Bush was obviously born into his family's money, but still works for a living. In Mexico, the rich sit on their butts and don't work. The peasantry (the fact that I use that term denotes a problem) work like slaves and make less than 5 bucks a day on the high end. Add to this no welfare system or social security of any kind and you can honestly see why illegals come here. We can't solve illegal immigration until Mexico gets it's act together.
  9. But eventually Robin Hood fails. Like how France is lapping up agricultural benefits. I came from an incredibly rich High School. 5 years ago we built a 12 million dollar field house for our athletes and an 8 million dollar mock-field with turf for the band. To this day, they still get Robin Hood money. While the schools paying that money are going flat-broke.
  10. Serial kidnappings in Mexico of women that has been going on for 20 years now. How about the plight of the Mexican people in general? Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Reagan have all tried to put pressure on the Mexican government to share it's wealth, but there is honestly little the US can do due to NAFTA and NATO. It's up to the citizens of the world to help fight for the plight of these people.
  11. Agreed. It's like the UN on crack. Britain should have stayed out. I like smaller-focus agreements like NATO, but large-scale alliances like this are just asking for trouble. It reminds me of the Robin-Hood system gone wrong. The rich get richer.
  12. It means corruption, I wasn't sure what the symbol attached to it was. It's a square and compass, the symbol of the Freemasonry. All signers of the Constitution were Freemasons. Hence, the conspiracy. I wouldn't put it past the city planner of D.C. (Who was a Freemason himself!) to at least have arranged the city landscape (and the subsequent monuments) like that. The Pentagram is just a coincidence, personally. However, I don't doubt in the least the Freemason conspiracy.
  13. What Nintendo did in 1850? oO Playing cards. In fact, until the 1970's when Nintendo began to move into video games they made the playing cards that you could buy at the Disney parks.
  14. I do think that eventually, Jagex will die out as all companies do. Eventually, Microsoft will die out, and Nintendo, and other major companies. Nintendo has been in business Since the 1850's. Not necessarily the best example.
  15. There's nothing more fun than knowing who the editor is. I mean, the answer was so simple!
  16. I personally haven't seen it, and my dad refuses to let me see it (I respect my parents, even though I can easily go rent it). I have however seen Quest for the Holy Grail at a church. We were all laughing.

    Somebody saw End of the Spear :P. Great movie.

    You are just a worthless subject of media representation. Islamic people don't blow people up, tiny fractions do. Which is exactly the same for christianity where tiny fractions kill people in the name of their religion. Perhaps they don't crash planes into buildings but throughout history christians have murdered thousands upon thousands of people. Get your facts straight before attempting to sweepingly insult a religion when your religions guilty of the same atrocites. i have two things to say to you satenza. 1: Why am i an idiot, you didnt answer that one yet? 2: when was the last time you heard about a christian blowing himself up in the name of jesus. yes, we have commited atrocias crimes in the past but im talking about today in the modern world. sorry, thats the muslims that do that. no, not all of them but still, how many terrorists are christian? For Goodness Sakes, man. Have you never heard of Ireland? There are more "Christian" terrorists there than you can shake a stick at.

    I still have to disagree with the comment "To be exceptional, an African American must have an IQ of 100." You could take a average child of 8 who could be dumb as a rock. Being the average he is 100 IQ. Take a Mensa whiz like yourself. If you were the average of adults your age, your IQ would still only be 100. The flaw between races and socio-economic groups is that all IQ tests are counted together. Therefore, a child with less schooling is going to score lower on testing, even if they are the same intelligence quota as the others. I literally offer to type and cite a few paragraphs from the textbook if you would like tomorrow. It really blew away everything I thought I knew about IQ ratings. EDIT: You on the Enterprise? I won't give his name, but my brother-in-law is stationed on her. Yes, I hear the internet does suck majorly out there. Save up some creds for a good domestic beer and live with it :P.

    I am glad that your wife is a teacher. I am also a teacher. But you still can not compare all human IQ together or even races of different ages because the average IQ is always 100. That's why the government is researching new ways of measuring possible intelligence. The IQ system is outdated and flawed beyond belief. It's also unfair to compare children of different races, as they will be experiencing different schooling and parental backgrounds. I can reccomend you a good textbook that gives a whole chapter on why IQ tests are useless and horrible for modern gaging of intelligence. But the fact of the matter is, we are arguing opinions. You may think religion is a bunch of hoo-hah. For me, it's the foundation of my life.
  21. Barihawk replied to Notorious_Ice's topic in Off-Topic
    What makes me disregard your entire post is that you state that the average human has an IQ of 100. IQ tests are ranked on age. An average 8 year old has an IQ of 100. When he is 40 his IQ will still be 100 compared to other 40 year olds. This person can be smarter than a 14 year old with an IQ of 140 based on the scale. IQ can not be used to compare large groups of people. Oh, evolution has become "widely accepted" too. It's another bloody Holocaust, isn't it? Everything is becoming widely accepted! We are all going to die!

    You sir, are an idiot. What's sad is that the first part of that is really great advice. Then it hits a brick wall. read the rest of my post, including the website i posted, isnt that a good explanation? I am referring to the above post in question. You gave good advice in the first sentence. But insulting another religion? Telling him to get blown up? That is extremely un-Christlike in my opinion. You should honestly be ashamed of yourself.
  23. Bears have the immune system and digestrive tract of a beasty machine. Of course, they are also much hardier And fish contain the most essential vitamins and health sources of any meat. They are also the leanest and lightest types of meat. In addition, they are the only meat humans can eat raw :P. I'd recommend sushi if anything.

    For all intents and purposes, no. I believe the creation account is symbolic, or, God created an aged universe. To take that even farther, it's becoming widely accepted that the Creation happened, but the 7 days were symbolic of ages of prehistory. I know the world is billions if not trillions of years old. We are also measuring years for the genealogies in roman years, whereas they could have been entirely different forms of measurement. Not quite trillions (the universe is said to be no more than 20 billion), but it's refreshing to see a less fundamentalist view. :) ...? I am a fundamentalist. I also do research into theology before I say things. My father teaches multiple Bible classes and I have many friends and family that went to Perkins (the Oxford of theological schools). Very few fundamentalist theologians believe that the world is 6000 years old. Yet we still believe fully in the Creation, Birth, and Resurrection. Too many people on this forum see Christians as Black and White, but there are hundreds of different flavors of Christian out there. Not just Ultra-Conservative, Moderate, and Liberal.
