Eisenhower warned us of the military industrial complex. Now we're paying the price--literally. Do we really need military bases in over 150 countries? Do we need to be participating in two wars? My answer is probably pretty obvious. The U.S. needs a large military if it wants to remain a super power, but stretching the country thin with exuberant military spending is not going to help us in the long run. We need to be able to do more with less.

Or a religious debate. They're interchangeable.

I'd give you my cool whip that's for sure, good work :thumbup: and yes Hawkxs that's the correct answer. That's the minimum, at least (it can be 2kg, 0.2kg, 0.02kg... ect. depending on how high up on the carnivore chain you go. All of which are correct). Don't worry Ginger_Warrior, that reference is not lost. :mrgreen: You ruined the joke.

For graduation parties around here, it's typical to bring a card with a small amount of money in it. If you aren't very close with the person graduating, $10 should do fine; more the better you know them. I've heard that's not the custom everywhere, though. I got around $1,600 from my graduation party in small gifts of money and it really helped for college expenses.

I proudly wore my Obama tee today. And no, I don't like Obama. I wear it to watch people's reactions--my roommate got it for $5 from a street vendor when the swim team went to Hawaii over Christmas break.

Hahahahahahahaha. Oh my that was funny.

It baffles me why Sam continues to post pics of his cleavage despite such outward criticisms :lol:

This is really pathetic. That's about all I have to say on the matter.

Nice timing by Obama with the birth certificate/Bin Laden killed one-two punch! Someone's up for reelection.

I agree with a lot of your points, Das, but I don't think all of us treat online friends the same way you do. Out of all the online communities and clans I've been a part of, there are only four or five people I have had contact with outside of those games via MSN, Facebook, Skype, etc. and they were all CoD: Finest Hour clanmates (PS2 online baby). I don't typically make lasting relationships with people online that extend into real-life. I don't know why this is, I just typically don't and I don't think I'm alone in doing this either. I guess my point here is that, for me, friendships made in-game are codependent on my actively playing RuneScape.

I used to be a big mainstream hater, but I've since cooled off. I don't watch television and I don't listen to the radio (unless it's NPR :-P). Eliminating those outlets of mainstream culture from my life has been the best thing I've ever done. I find all my entertainment independently via the internet and ignore the rest.

The best advice I can give about attending any sort of university is don't go there unless you are 100% sure you want to and are willing to spend thousands of dollars getting your education. Other than that, talk to advisers at the universities or at your school. They are there to help and will most likely know a whole lot more than anyone here, especially with the specificity of your questions.

Wrong place at the wrong time. Guy showed me a smaller handgun, cocked it, and told me "this is a robbery". It's a good thing I'm broke as a joke and didn't have anything of value on me, but god damn having a gun in my gut was not fun.

I got held up at gunpoint today. Scariest moment of my life.

I call it Spring Cleaning, or, "getting all the smelly old stuff out". Just kidding...but seriously. It's weird without the red name. Really weird.

Uhh.

I still hyt when I see someone I know. I never knew people stopped...

This is what my friend thinks. "Jesus died on the cross, then crapped out a rabbit that laid eggs. To hide the shame, people hid the eggs. And encased the rabbit in chocolate to keep him from escaping. Somewhere out there is a rabbit in those hollow chocolate bunnies. If you should find it, I suggest keeping it and taking the eggs."

Don't do it, it'll be a waste of $$, just go to the after-party. That is, unless your school offers a pretty awesome prom. Mine was in the gymnasium...not forking out for that waste of time. Anyways, with most of the campus gone home for Easter, it's just me and a handful of international students hanging out at the library for the weekend. I'm researching Jew, Christian, and Moor co-existence in 13th-century Spain. :ugeek:

The look on that lady's face in the "But that didn't work out so well" picture is priceless hahahaha.

Not exactly true. You can't just throw some seeds in a pot and expect good weed. There's a lot of genetics, breeding, light schedules, water schedules, etc. etc. behind good pot. I'm aware, I should have said anyone with the internet can grow it.

I don't see anyone having a drug war over weed. It basically grows anywhere, it is after all a weed. Anyone can grow it.

In my opinion, the success or failure of medical marijuana will ultimately decide whether or not marijuana becomes legalized fully. In a way, the arguments are one in the same.
