Well, obviously. I hope you don't take me for a fool :P. I'm saying that right now I see a whole lot of bad, and I cannot forsee anything good for the American citizens coming in the long run.

I don't see any long term benefits. Right now I see an economy in shambles, gas prices through the roof, and a heck of a lot unhappy Americans.

You obviously have no comprehensive knowledge of how gas prices work. Most of the time, gas prices are fluxuated by the ability to refine oil into gasoline. The reason gas prices went up the last couple of weeks is because hurricane Ike closed down a ton of oil refineries along the Gulf of Mexico. Ugh, I rly don't want to start a no u or a flame war, but it's you who really does not. I know a lot more then the average 17 year old would know. I know a lot more about what's going on in the war, and in the Middle East in general, just because my dad is a reporter and has a lot fo connections... Trust me. ;) Uhhh. No. Without evidence to back up such claims I refuse to believe such nonsense. You have shown you do not understand that which you claim to have a superior knowledge about.

You obviously have no comprehensive knowledge of how gas prices work. Most of the time, gas prices are fluxuated by the ability to refine oil into gasoline. It also has to do with the ability to trasport the oil. It has little to nothing to do with speculation. The reason gas prices went up the last couple of weeks is because hurricane Ike closed down a ton of oil refineries along the Gulf of Mexico.

Yes, the whole world did, but that was before space travel, thermo-chemistry, and even the most basic of knowledge in the field of medicine. We have credible, testible, and technically sound methods of testing what we currently believe. There is nothing testible about God. And sure, you can believe that the bible was written by one person and then it was given to someone on Earth, much like nothing before or after it.

Well that's certainly a laughable argument. The bible has no say on evolution. The bible is a 2000+ year old text which was written by a bunch of people who needed to keep others in line. A big scary man who punishes you and sends you to a lake of fire if you disobey their (his, sorry) rules seemed to do the trick. Evolution is the most widely accepted explanation for the diversity of life. It is accepted by the most intelligent beings on this planet, and nothing has come along so far to shake or shatter this confidence in evolution. Sorry, nothing SCIENTIFIC. The bible provides us with untestible examples. It basically comes down to whether or not you believe what you see, or what you cannot. By the way, if God created us in his image, why did he start us off as microscopic bacteria? Please do NOT relate evolution with the big bang theory. They are NOT one in the same. Besides, we did not evolve from "dead matter". Organic matter was around long before living organic matter ever was. The odds of the big bang happening were indeed quite slim. However, the odds of all the particles in your current location being in the specific location they're currently in is absolutely microscopic, yet you do not question it. The odds of the sand on a beach being in it's current state is unbelieveable tiny, yet we still walk the beach without giving it a second thought.

I've heard that the Air Force is mainly do-nothing jobs. Only 1% of those who enlist in the Air Force fly planes, and only 1% of those pilots ever fly a fighter-type plane. I'd suggest the army reserve, although I wouldn't reccommend either tbh : As for getting there, I think you might be able to apply for some government help. Try visiting your nearest army recruting station to find out. That would be my guess. I'm sure they'd be happy to have you. I hope you have fun with whatever you do. I don't agree with your choice, but I sure as hell admire your courage. Good luck, soldier.

I'll be watching all three of the "Pirates" movies! I mean...Arrr'll be watching are three of thee Pirate moving pictures!

Two things: 1. Why do you insist on coming off as the most arrogant, idiotic, and frustratingly moronic person you can be? Evolution is NOT a "Mathmatical impossibility." Tell you what. If you can manage to disprove evolution right here on this message board, you can expect a Nobel Prize for over turning the most comprehensive explanation for the diversity of life in the world. 2. If you honestly believe that God set the world up to evolve, consider this: According to the church, God created man in his own image. If we evolved, what is God? Is God a form of micro-bacteria, or some form of trasitive species? Is he human, or is he an ape? What is God? If he created us in his image, which one of our images is he?

Are you actually suggesting that even though we were wrong for going in, the fact that we are at war now means we must finish it? Jeeze, haven't you ever heard of the gamblers rule of knowing when to quit? Sometimes it's just not worth going any farther.

To me, it seems like even though evolution goes against pretty much everything the bible says about the creation of man and the earth, the church is accepting it because they have no other choice but to look foolish. It comes as no surprise to me that they would publically state that they accept evolution. The church always seems to circumvent anything which goes against the bibles teachings by simply saying "God made it that way." I think that no matter what, you cannot argue with that stubborn point of view.

Got 16 hunter yesterday. Hope to get to about 30 in hunter today so that I can do "Summer's end" by the end of the weekend.

Commmme baaccccckkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks :D I did "Spirit of Summer" today, and I'm working on getting 35 hunter (I've always hated hunter :P) so I can do "Summer's End". I also got 1700 total level today :D!:

-If you run, do you just do it for fun, or are you on a team? I run for training purposes on the baseball team. You may not know it, but baseball players (at least in my area) are subject to a TON of conditioning, including 5K's and sprint laps (which are ~300M done up and down stairs around our school in about one minute. -What distances do you run, and what are your best times? I run quite a bit a day. I'd guestimate that duirng baseball season I run over 5 Miles a day, depending on the weather. I'm pretty confident that I could finish a half marathon, but I've yet to try it. -Any training tips? Pace yourself. If your new to running, start small and work your way up to larger distances, you know, all that good stuff you've heard before. If you feel like you haven't worked hard enough, you haven't. Keep going until you've gotten your fill, but don't go until you're practically dead. Always cool down afterwards, don't just stop all at once. I'm sure you've heard all this before :

Much like any child in my area (or even worldwide in the years of 1999-2002) I collected Pokemon cards and had a single deck of Yu-gi-oh that I got as a birthday gift. They were fun while they lasted.

-Lots of electronics that no longer function (Two Ipods, several video games and video game systems, and a few monitors.) -A few world war one era items are randomly placed around my house. -Lots of spices that I never use are everywhere. -Two valid drivers liscenses.

Once you hit 70+, it's really a pain to buy levels. I don't think that it's worth it to buy anything past 70.

Thinking about doing Spirit of Summer and Summer's end. I'd really like to kill the level 785 Monster.

Did you seriously pick two teams from the NFC SOUTH to make the playoffs?

The concept of self help. "If you did it yourself, you didn't need help." Bugs. All of them. But mostly insects. God I hate anything that bites me and leaves a mark that I must incessantly scratch. Or sucks my blood. Speaking of sucking my blood. Vampires. Watching a sports team I really like lose. People who over-protect their children. Parents who care way too much. 3 words. "Baby on board." That guy who drives 28 in a 35. More to come as I think of them.

And give Brian Westbrook another TD! Woo.

Losing George Carlin was like losing my father. He was a legend. May he never be forgotten. Since his death, I've really been oblivious to all other "celebrity" deaths other than Bernie Mac and Heath Ledger. I thought Heath was (I'd love to use an explitive here) amazing in "The Dark Knight". Probably my favorite villan of all time after that masterpiece of a performance.

Ever since I took physics, I have random thoughts about how much energy an object has when it's traveling through the air. Another similar situation is when I "shoot" an empty bottle/can/bag into a garbage can, and it takes a whole bunch of crazy bounces and then goes in. I begin to wonder; "What are the exact odds of that happening? What other factors acted upon that." I dislike this quite a bit. It makes me think way too much about an empty Pepsi can. I also often have strokes of genius (or at least I'd like to think of them as genius) at the most inopportune times. I'll be in the middle of a History test, and I'll randomly think about a brilliant new way to approach situation X or problem Y (Like a new way to arrange my room so that I have more space, or a slightly faster way to solve a math problem, or a musical lyric that I'd love to write down). I have a feeling I'll be contributing a lot to this thread :
