I'm excited about the pvp rewards. I practically live in pvp and better drops makes me happy. The only thing is that although sometimes I leave the extra food from a drop on the ground, other times I may need it to heal up or replace lost food in clan pking. Maybe if it was changed so that BETTER food was dropped, like lobs and swordies more often instead of cakes and pike, then it might be a lot more helpful to the nonstop-pkers and clan pkers.

Yo estudio en la clase de espanol (can't get the squiggly thing over the N). Tu eres feo. : I'm in the lowest Spanish class at my high school. I plan to take all 4 years of it because I really need to know a second language, and living near Chicago where there is a high Latino population, knowing Spanish can be a deciding factor in many jobs.

I live in Illinois. I was generally a supporter of Blagojevich. I saw this article when I logged on to check the news and practically passed out. God, we're screwed. Just recovered from Governor Ryan, then we celebrated over president Obama from Illinois being president and representing our state. Gun restrictions are making some progress in the legislature. We used to have one of the top gas prices in the nation that are now under $1.70. Everything seemed to be going well. Now Blagojevich comes and ruins things with his scandal. Screw you, we're not all that bad.

Why the hell would the cop do this? To see if he was alive? "Maybe if we zap him a few more times, he'll wake up!" :wall: Maybe there's some hidden aspect to the story that the media hides. I don't now. But seriously... even if he was a threat, the first two or three tazers would usually subdue him. Beating up an unconscious body is what scared women do to a rat they just killed with a broom, just in case it was alive. The tazer seems to be abused quite a lot. I think they should redefine the use of the tazer. It probably says in the manual "use when a threat is nearby" and the fact that they were near a busy highway was good enough of a threat even though it wasnt from the other person. You watch, someone will find a loophole that will let them get off with very little punishment. And to Krieg, even if a tazer was necessary, how many times was it necessary to subdue him? Maybe a lot on a low setting. But if he was generally a threat, you wouldn't use a low setting. 19 times is just plain unnecesssary unless the guy is really bulky and won't go under.

Amazing. An old thread bumped to ask a question nobody likes to answer, a completely offtopic discussion of what a certain site is (using anal imagery), and an even more offtopic discussion on the excretory anatomy of the human body. All in one page. A new era of OT has begun.

I disagree with the baby-massaging thing. In Pakistan where my parents grew up, some women are trained in a special massage that seems rather cruel: hard rubbing on the head and strong back massages. The women have decades of experience. When my family went to Pakistan when I was a few months old, my parents had a local woman do it for me too. I'm not sure if it ahs any long-term benefits, but it is a tradition. Maybe I'm taking this whole thing too seriously :|

sounds awesome, anything happen? A kid with diarrhea will have a very unpleasant surprise when his liquidy feces comes exploding right back at him. So that's what implosive diarrhea looks like... :twisted:

When I was in 5th grade, my friend brought some muffins for his birthday. My elderly teacher tried one and -- what a surprise, she choked on it. She ran out in the hallway and banged on the next room's door. The 6th grade teacher came out and gave her the Heimlich maneuver. The 7th grade teacher started screaming and crying, and everyone in my classrom sat and stared at eachother. She was fine after the muffin came out, and we tease her to today.

Oh my god. It's becoming an "Ever caught them" thread all over again! :ohnoes:

The Final Jeopardy background music. The ultimate in stereotypical quiz show tunes. Just look on Youtube for a final Jeopardy video and cut the audio and you'll have it (although the quality isn't perfect). I wonder if iTunes or Limewire has the song...

Yeah, people who put their swimming trunks on top of their underwear are geeks, homophobic, or flat out losers. I know one kid who had 1st period PE class at school. During the swimming season of the class he would keep his undies on under his trunks and swim like that. But he refused to change them in the locker room because he was afraid of peekers (probably worried about how endowed he is :lol: ) and so after class he went with wet underwear under his jeans for the rest of the day.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you. :

We'd be the same as we were in the 1700s. While global warming might be slowed among other things, we'd still need medicinal advancements or else we'd be dying at the same rate as disease prior to modern medicine. Sure, it may have brought more problems. But hopefully continued technological advancements can solve those problems without causing too many other problems. Thats the point of advancing in technology -- to solve the world's problems and inconveniences.

Dammit, I was just going to say that. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom to send porn to thousands of people and abusing a website messaging system.

Gas is $1.95 a gallon where I live, but in my area the community is barely affected by gas price changes. Whether they're at all time highs or all time lows, there is an equal amount of cars everywhere. We don't have many SUV's or other giant-[wagon] cars, but there are plenty of minivans because we have a lot of families. But I don't see why Hummers or giant SUV's or other massive cars are needed for ANYTHING where I live. There's not a dirt road for miles, it's all suburbs.

Boxer briefs. The ultimate compromise in the ongoing war between boxers and briefs. Although most girls I've met prefer guys in boxers. If I ever hope to get laid, I oughtta buy me some boxers :?

What the hell is Kwanzaa anyways? Wiki says it was created in the 60s to celebrate the African heritage. How is that a religion? The entire damned month of February is Black History month (In the US at least). They just HAVE to have a day to themselves during the holiday season just because others have one? The happy holidays thing is arguable, but everything else is just purely ridiculous. Santa says [garden tool]-[garden tool]-[garden tool], which society has deemed to be a derogatory word for promiscuous females. Old poems and carols say "gay". History comes before political accuracy. There is no offensive intention behind santa and christmas carols, and we shouldn't alter a piece of tradition just because society makes up new words.

I have to agree with Ginger. The fine is a painful lesson for all spammers. But I do think it is a bit unfair. His family will be working their [wagon] off for their entire lives to pay off the whole debt. I would rather have seen him given an insanely long jail sentence than to punish everyone around him. Hopefully as Mylez said the family could get the fine appealed after his death. I couldn't imagine being born only to work from the moment I was able to in order to pay off a debt my great-grandfather was stupid enough to accumulate.

One of the reasons Runescape is so successful is because players have a chance to try f2p risk free (no downloading, no paying) and later get caught on and go p2p. Jagex would be fools to start restricting f2p more and more until it's not worth playing.

Amen. I eat more stuffing then any other food combined on the Thanksgiving table. You should see the look my parents give me when I take one slice of cranberry, one slice of turkey, a few slices of ham, and the rest of the place covered in stuffing. : By the way, I love the ham. Ham is good.

I'm sure most suicide hotlines accept calls from concerned loved ones. In fact, that's probably where a lot of calls come from. So if you can find a local suicide hotline, you could consider calling it but what's most important for now is to get real professional help, as about a dozen people have said. Of course, always be there for her 100% of the time because friends are one of the few lifelines she has.

While I'm not sure just how many people watched the webcam video, I highly doubt everyone calling 911 would help much unless they lived in the same area as the suicide victim. What if you live in the same country but hundreds of miles away? Fat load of good the police would do there when you called em. Unless they started a full on investigation to track where this boy was then notify his local police to finish the case, which is a bit too much effort for a police force who lives miles and miles away from a victim over the internet because they have their own local problems to deal with. If it gives you peace of mind, then go ahead and call the police. It won't do much for the boy but it'll keep you at ease that you didn't sit there doing nothing. But once again, it doesn't do much good for the boy that some concerned people across the nation called the cops for their own peace of mind when he's already taken the pills. If six hundred thousand people were watching and all called the cops, then a difference might have been made. But I really doubt 6 hundred thousand people were watching it. Hell, I really doubt even a thousand people were watching. Correct me if I'm wrong on that. And chances are unless the callers lived in the same area as the victim, a 911 call would do little to help the kid.

Let this post be your worst nightmare. You are now aware how much your butt hurts from sitting at the computer. You are now aware of what your clothes feel like on your skin. You are now aware that your head is itchy. You are now aware that "Never Gonna give you up" is stuck in your head. You are now aware of your eye strain from looking at the computer. My friends do this to me all the time on the internet, I hate them for it.

My mom does all the shopping in the family so I had to look up a bunch of different sites to find out what this Black Friday was. So let me get this straight. Day after Thanksgiving, stores open really early and offer incredibly low priced deals that make the soccer moms go bat[cabbage] insane. Sounds fun. Ima browse the webs to see what I can find that suits my interests. Are videogames at low prices too? :pray:

So... if he wasn't being serious, and this was only a cry for help, you should just turn away and forget about it? I'd help him anyway. The guy's clearly in trouble. Whether he's serious about killing himself is neither here nor there. It just adds to the gravity of the situation. What was anyone to do? Whether they were sad losers or generally concerned people, the most they could do would be to call the police and tell them some kid over the internet looks like he's dead. Fat load of good that would do. While I sympathize with the poor kid and his family, I think the ones to blame were the rotten pieces of [cabbage] who taunted him because they thought it was a joke, then when they saw him die probably went "ohhhhhhh [expletive]" and ran away from their computer like the cowardly failure they are, then when they had the guts to come back to the computer they sent it to their friends pretending it didn't phase them. Those are the kids at fault.
