Stuff you could NEVER get into
I can't stand the taste of energy drinks, Monster is the only one I can drink. But it's never really done much to me. :\

The Weirdest Dream You've Ever Had!
Anyone notice that while you're dreaming, even if it's really stupid, it seems to make perfect sense? Like you don't question any of the things happening?

Musically, I don't like it that much, but lyrically it's good. The Lupe Fiasco song made me laugh. :P

I thought we were talking about 24 songs?

The Weirdest Dream You've Ever Had!
I forgot to mention, the whole thing except the boss rom was in Pokémon on GameBoy style view, and just before I entered the room, I saw this boy scout owning the chicken's butt. With a bone spear :?

Well, good way to get everyone to agree with you on at least one thing... :P

Detrimental Effects of Television
I don't see how it's snobby and stuck-up. While you (and I) might think this and this is what looks good, their standards are just different, and clearly, their ideal to put up a show rather than convey a message is working (television, pop art being great examples). Apples and oranges. And no, I'm not trying to start a fight. ;)

Would it not be more practical to put ads in the downloading software?

It's alright in small amounts. Some shows really are interesting, or funny. I can't sit through sports though or stuff like that.

Well if you stole something from a shop, don't you usually have to pay more than the cost of the item? e.g you stole a drink worth $1 and got caught, you end up having to pay $10 as a fine. But 88,000$ is pretty [bleep] crazy.. Yep, that's why I added theft fine. ;) The problem isn't that she downloaded the songs, its that she made them available for others to download, thus they feel they have the right to sue her for every user that downloaded from her ( even if this made sense, i doubt 80000 users downloaded just from her) Can they track how many were made, or that downloads were made anyways? If not, then they can only sue her for making it available. In which case that can't be 80K. And at the above post, I don't think musicians care, just record labels. As long as no one takes credit for themselves, then I'm fine with people getting my money for free as long as I make a decent amount of money.

The Weirdest Dream You've Ever Had!
I was walking from the bus stop to school, when I saw a hole in the fields on the other side of the road. I put on protect from melee and pulled out rope, I got there fast so the snow wouldn't decrease my skills too much. I had nothing of importance on me, just a few books, so dying wouldn't be a problem. I go down, run, get hit some pretty large amounts, eat my lunch (note the really lame Ecko lunchbox), swim into Armadyl's lair (flaw here). I talk to the boss (which happens to be this: http://www.yugioh-gamecard.com/catalog/ruin.JPG), tell him that I really don't want to fight, I just came down here to explore and stuff. He gives me a hug and I realize it's a trick. He crushes me to death. 4 months after quitting RS. I haven't touched Yu-gi-Oh cards for over 5 years. :| Oh and, I don't remember how, but I dreamt of being stabbed in the side of the belly and being hung up on a cross once.

Pirated movies: Why?
I'd rather get some snatches from that movie. I have 2200$ of softwares. If I was to make money from them (they're pro quality, there's actually only two), I'd buy them, but it's just as a hobby.

Shouldn't she be paying 0.99$ per song she downloaded and per song downloaded off her, since she could get them for that much on iTunes, and she should also be paying for the people she gave them to, plus the theft fine? If you go to a store and steal 100 (assuming 76 downloads from her Kazaa were made) 1$ cans of coke, you don't get fined 1.92M...
- Get to 1000

You're flexing e-penis just as much as he is. Get out.

At first I thought it looked pretty hilarious, but... now I think I want to try it... Weird, isn't it?

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Good to hear. Best of luck to you :)

You anti-anti-conformists are a bunch of elitists. If you don't like something, just don't do it... That's like bashing religion. Don't bother, it's not worth the time.

Who is Truly to blame for the War in the Middle East?
Won't happen. As long as there is a Middle East, there will always be fighting. viewtopic.php?f=10&t=798144 Iran is fighting back, maybe we should do something else than watch? I know it might sound like I'm saying we're not doing enough while at the same time rejecting the responsibility, but if Stephen Harper is willing to receive a 14 year old, I'm willing to suggest it.

What Makes a Swear, a Swear?
Here in Quebec/Ottawa, they use words like these: * baptême - "baptism" * câlice (calice) - "chalice" * calvaire - "Calvary" * ciarge (cierge) - "votive or Paschal candle" * ciboire - "ciborium" or "pyx", the receptacle in which the host is stored * crisse (Christ) - "Christ" * maudit - "damn" * mozusse (Moïse)- "Moses" * ostie (hostie) - "host" * sacrament (sacrement) - "Sacrament" * tabarnak (tabernacle) - "tabernacle" * viarge (vierge) - "the Virgin Mary" with a really funny accent to swear, it' usually considered stronger than excrement or sex-related swearwords. Like "god damn it!", but much stronger. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_French_profanity [Edit] I just read the whole article, it's pretty funny when you're from the area.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
There's 5 possibilities, one of which is very unlikely. - She declines. You're going to have to move on, plenty of fish, stuff like that. - She accepts. You're in love until death does you apart. - She accepts. You things get very bad in between you guys. You eventually break up; two possibilities here as well: --You acted badly. Don't act badly is the moral of the story. :] --She acted badly. At this point, you'd probably be breaking up with her so it's not as bad. But if you guys are best friend, I don't think either will happen. - She accepts. You eventually agree that you're not made for each other and stay good friends. - She accepts. One of you loses interest. See item #1. On top of that, she's liked you in the past. She more likely to go out with you because she already considered being together with you. It's not like you're asking out someone that would taking a "risk" going out with you, see what I mean?

Do YOU know what to do when...
I know choking maneuvers and that you have to press really hard on a big cut, that's about it.
