I don't have any profile on any site besides tif. sorry guys, but I'm not in the mood to get murdered by old men claiming to be Miley Cyrus. ;) Every one of my friends besides a certain person I know has a myspace. the two of us try to be rebels who stay away from that corner of the internet.

summer school, summer basketball camp, some small trips to indiana and Kentucky (I live in Illinois). You should have seen what my class did at the end of school. if you've seen high school musical 2, you know what I mean. in the last minute of school we started chanting "summer...summer...summer" getting louder and louder. But alas, our clock was a minute behind and we screwed up. :(

Sip stealing: not a felony in any of the 50 states. : As half the people on this thread have said, the store owner shouldn't care. its not coming out of his paycheck. You're paying for the drinks, might as well get your money's worth. now while its always preferred that you only take the drink you need so as not to look greedy, there's nothing wrong with a refill for the road. There are worse freeloaders out there. I was at a theatre once that offered free popcorn refills if you buy the large bucket. so one family decided to buy one bucket and bring a paper bag for each family member. the father bought the bucket, filled some of the bags, went back and got a refill, filled them more, then got a refill for himself and his wife. Cheap or smart? it does sound like a pretty good money saver to cut your budget for a movie. combine this with the free drinks and you've got a total budget for a family of five of $6 for your snack and drinks. and then there are the true freeloaders who come into fast food places with their own cups, fill their own drinks for free, and maybe buy a meal and walk out. They didn't pay for that fill.

My brother and I are complete opposites. we're both really spoiled. whenever we even hint unintentionally at something we want, our parents end up getting it (i.e. the iPod I barely use, the gamecube games I never play, the new camera left in my drawer. I tell my parents I don't need these but they insist.) My brother accepts everything he gets then wants more. When we got our gamecube he started browsing for tons of games and attachments. half of them we don't need. Meanwhile there's me, the guy who really wants to not waste money. I begged my parents NOT to give me anything for Christmas last year because I didn't want anything and I knew our relatives would get us stuff anyways. well my parents insisted and I ended up getting over 100$ in things I never asked for. My brother kept asking if there was anything else because he didn't like his gifts. I'm 14 and he's 10 so maybe its just a phase.

It depends on the situation I guess. If you're sticking to the same person because you don't know how to say goodbye or are afraid of the results, then that relationship isn't worth it. Dating as a teen is a great way to prepare for the responsibilities of marriage. But it's also a major part of your social life. Dating only one person for your entire teen years only to break up when you move far away and then ahving to build a new relation with someone else can be hard. if you date a lot of different people for short periods, making sure your partner knows that it's not true love, yuo can gain a lot of social experience. You can't say "I know women" when you've only dated one person for 5 years.

Watching the Movie Wall-E and then looking at this thread feels really strange... in the movie the people in the future were incredibly fat. Coincidence...?

I coulda sworn I read this before... how old is it? anyway, I think the mother is the biggest idiot in this story. she let the woman stay in her house? Is she one of those parents who dreams of one day watching their son get laid?

I have Altophobia and Arachnophobia. for my fear of spiders its not that bad. Its the heights thats the problem. I just get really really nervous on top of a high building. when I'm on the Sears Tower in Chicago I just barely get my head to look down through the windows at the city of Chicago while my body is pulling backwards because I'm nervous I'm gonna fall off. Very awkward position. I think phobias are meant for people who have very serious irrational fears. I mean, if you get a little dizzy on a roller coaster you probably don't have Altophobia. if spiders creep you out but you can still slam a book on top of one then you probably don't have arachnophobia. phobias are reserved for those with crippling fears. Like my brother who has a fear of the vacuum cleaner. When I'm vacuuming he quickly runs out of the room. Sometimes when the vacuum is in his way he'd try to slowly creep around it, sticking his hand in front of him in case the vacuum moves toward him. I love to taunt him taking advantage of this fear (i.e. asking him to pick up something near the vacuum that it can't pick up, rolling the vacuum towards his area). I guess you can call me an insensitive bastard.

^^ you clearly haven't seen all chicago has to offer then ;) I think the only people who take stereotypes with good humor are Canadians and Asians. Try saying something stereotypical about a black guy. You won't be seen again. I'm Indian/Pakistani heritage and the stereotypes don't bother me. And there are quite a bunch of em. No, I'm not obsessed with curry. No I'm not a terrorist. No I don't worship cows. No I don't have hair in unnatural places. No I don't plan on working in a convenience store when I'm old enough. No, Mahatma Ghandi is not my idol. No I am not Hindu, and even if I was I wouldn't be calling God "Allah" (there are a lot of people who seem to think Hindu's worship Allah) No I don't wear a turban. Yes I am loyal to America.

I'm getting annoyed by seeing all these "mature content" tags on thread titles. It does nothing but bring immaturity to an already "hanging on the balance between mature discussion and 4chan" type of thread. I think people are purposely doing this just to bring in more views. It doesn't keep people away. most OT'ers know this stuff and aren't afraid to view it. If this keeps going we'll have new[bleep]s on tif screaming "MOAR" on every "mature discussion" thread on OT.

I watched Wall-E with my friends over the weekend. Pretty fun movie even for a group of teenage boys.

I choose coke because I'm a member of MyCokeRewards.com where I get points drinking the soda I always drink. currently at 536 points, enough for a pair of sandals or t-shirt or mini-fridge ;)

Its fun to see a topic that Goddess is so flipped out about : Gratz uncle Dragoonson (sounds like a fairy tale title). I woulda passed out after reading the words "your sister is in the hospital". family humor :lol:

China has very bad work conditions, much of poverty, ffs they even censored some of the internet there (Google China). They also have very bad pollution records and have an even more censored government than we do (such as disposing of videos online that show chinese work and politicians, et cetera). Well if they make the Chinese military like the US where you can get scholarships for signing up, the Chinese army might be full beyond belief. of course thats assuming the Chinese government has the power and authorization to hand over thousands of dollars to every Tom, [bleep] and Harry that signs up with the requirements. after all, only 1 in 1,000 chinese students with high GPA'sm will make it to college. offering them a promising future is enough to make them a giant power. Maybe I'm just rambling here, I don't know much about the subject.

I for one would not like to be jammed between a window and an excessively large person. Or else add some larger seats at the back of the plane for the obese. Its not liek they're discriminating. they're not saying "ewwwww you're fat. gtfo my plane". no, they're saying "your size is making other passengers complain. we want proper space for every passenger". a lot of obese people (NOT all of them) are just unwilling to start losing weight and expect the world to be changed to fit their needs. for most handicapped people its not their fault they're handicapped. for most obese people, its because of their habits that they're obese (then there's the small population that gets it from heredity, or so they say. But I really doubt many people got an extra 200 pounds from their parents). you can't compare the two unless someone is handicapped because of their obesity, in which case its usually still their fault anyway. next thing you know, six flags will be sued for telling excessivly large guests they can't fit on a ride seat.

I'll be 17 in 2 and a half years -.- . my friends and I still have to wath R rated movies with someone's parent, and it was hard getting them to consent to movies like Borat. gratz on your new independence. do me a favor and don't rub it in my face k? ;)

My earliest memories was when I was 5 or 6. I would use websites like cheatplanet.com to find cheats for my favorite videogames. I remember discovering walkthroughs a few years later and would have my laptop open on the couch while my brother and I played pokemon on our gameboy advances, looking at the walkthrough when we needed it. When I was about 8 or 9 I discovered nick.com through the nickelodeon TV channel. I used to love the nick.com message boards. I had a bunch of friends and was a member of a Riddle club. what was unique about the nick.com boards was that when you posted a message, the message had to be approved by a mod before it got posted (after all, this site was aimed for really little kids). since the mods only checked the messages once or twice a day, I'd post on a bunch of different boards and come back the next day to see responses to mine. The moderators there weren't randomly picked players, but they were actual adults who were moderators of the site as a real job (they got paid lol). My dream was to become a moderator when I hit 18, but I never got there. Another thing that was great about nick.com was that there was a board for everything. a board for every nick.com tv show, a board for rl discussions, a board for serious issues usually used by the teenage community, boards for jokes and riddles, boards for school and wierd news, you name it, they had it. The funniest thing I remember on nick.com was the fact that the boards were pretty much all-american. There were some canadians and mexicans, but almost everyone was american. One day, in a nick.com first, a girl from Ireland showed up on the boards looking for some friends. you should have seen how many kids responded because they thought it was freaking awesome to have a buddy across the atlantic. I was one of them ;) . Good times... I eventually stopped using the site as I got older. But that was how I began learning about the internet. I even found out what LOL meant there :mrgreen: soon enough I discovered Runescape because of my friends, and later found miniclip, addictinggames, and tipit. now here I am :

My friend's sister told me about her high school prom. there were two lovebirds there and so, by the punch table with ballroom dancing in the background, they dropped their clothes and had intercourse right there by the table... later there was a giant juke line. chaperones frantic to stop it. 8-)

The people at subway do not know what "I don't want my sub toasted" means. I always order a steak sub, so there's always a mistake except for the subway workers who know me. sometimes theo don't microwave the steak. sometimes they toast everything. One time the lady came really close to putting the sandwich with lettuce in the toaster... But then there were some good experiences. I had a coupon for subway saving me a dollar (so I only brought a 5 dollar bill for a footlong) and I found out once my sandwich was made that the coupon was expired. So the bill came to 5.45 something because of the tax. Problem was, I only had my 5 dollar bill. So I apologized but the lady was nice enough to take the extra change out of her tip jar (which wasn't very full). Very niceof her considering she doesn't exactly have the best wages.

"Can I ask a stupid question?" No. your stupidity offends me on so many levels that stupidity in interrogative form is simply impossible for me to comprehend and thus your efforts of asking said question would be in vain. also in health class my friend says to me "whats an immune system?"

From what I see is, he's seeing "decline in religion" and "increase in intelligence" and is simply linking them together, They're two seperate events. While there might be some link between them, I don't find it exactly fair to say one directly linked to the other. Remember, there are other reasons for a decline in religion too: 1)Sexual pressures from others, and so the person decides to break away from God to enjoy it or disagrees with God for forbidding him this chance 2)an increase in controversial activity (abortion, cloning, euthanasia, etc) that divides even the most religious of people apart 3)Pressure from peers "you still believe God exists? look what he's done to the world" kind of stuff that teens get exposed to by their agnostic or atheist friends. Its not all about being smarter. believe it or not, knowledge increases over the decades with new discoveries, faster methods of doing things, new technology, etc. and believe it or not, pressures from the nonreligious population are increasing too. Things like abortion aren't nearly as common in the 1200s as they are today, amazingly. and issues like that drive even the most devout religious people apart, weakening their ties with their God. There are a lot of strange, obscure assumptions I could make with this guy's "directly proportional" logic that I'm not going to go into because I know it will just lead to a quote chain. But I will say: there's a lot more going on in this statistic than simply being smarter.

I agree with the guy above. Dan, you're just asking for a flame war. I'm gonna quote one of those "you know your a fundamentalist atheist" things where you know you are one when: "You consider common sense to be a belief held by less than a quarter of the population." There's nothing about religion that makes it idiotic unless you're an extremist. I don't see how atheism contains any more common sense than a religion, seeing as there's no way to totally disprove god's existence, and it's rather hard to get true atheist to aknowledge god's existence. Believe it or not, it takes more than "common sense" to make people change their lifestyles totally and everything they've believed in. and as for the bible being a "storybook": remember that there are dozens of different authors of the bible. For example, the author of Revelation (who calls himself John but may not be John the disciple or baptist) uses almost everything contained in the book as a symbol for something going on in the period written (A.D. 90). while, say, some of the gospel writers prefer to use a lot more facts and concrete writing. So some of the bible's books may be stories with a moral in it, while some are facts about the life of Christ and the people before him.

I think your idea is pretty good. but the problem is that though hydrogen cars are already invented, they're accidents waiting to happen. Hydrogen car= mini Hindenbergs driving down the highway. car crash=giant [wagon] explosion. OT: I got the wrong idea when the title said "emission trading". I'm a dirty boy :-#

8th grade graduation. private school. night to remember? uhh.... Guess what our theme was: shiny blue wall paper. Guess who our DJ was: our ballroom dance instructor Guess how many chaperones we had: a ratio of 1 for every 2 students (our damn homeroom teacher invited every other teacher in the school to attend) Guess what our after party was: a bunch of us going to a friend's tiny, crammed house for a coke and jelly beans. of course our pastor was there so most of the songs had to be appropriate and that narrowed out a lot of good dancing songs. luckily we managed to sneak in a couple dirty songs with slang our pastor wouldn't understand :thumbsup: no dirty dancing, our refreshments were chips and coke, our dinner was lasagna from a local fast food place. Night to remember? epic fail. well at least there's high school prom to look foreward to...

another thing to think about: the Incorruptible bodies of many saints and blessed people in the catholic church. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Incorruptibles A lot of the saints listed don't have images because they are still buried. but don't tell me they're fake. its been documented unlike, as Cup Lion pointed out, Igor walking on the moon was not documented. there's a difference. and coincidence? are you telling me that the host physically and visually transforming into human flesh is a random, coincidential occurence?
