What's going on with my ClearType?
ClearType is turned ON, notice the choppy edge on big text and the smooth edge on small text. ClearType is turned OFF, the large text is no longer choppy but the small text is. I'm running Windows XP and I have an HP LCD screen. I've tried changing the settings using the power toy, in vain. Is there an alternative to ClearType available that won't have such a strong effect on large fonts, or something I might have missed in the settings? Thanks. :)

Thoughts on cockfighting?
I know I might sound facetious here, but death occurs naturally too. That doesn't suggest that we have the right to force it upon anyone. You mean we don't "force death" on chickens we eat? That's so you can feed yourself.

Thoughts on cockfighting?
Because they are [roosters]...who are fighting? I don't quite see what's wrong with the name there. The word [rooster] has meant rooster for thousands of years in many languages. The reference to one's penis is a fairly recent (like 50 years) invention. Yup. In french, coq still means rooster. [Edit] Sometimes I forget how long some threads are.

Help With A Really Strict Parent
Try to have friends over often, and have your parents learn to trust them. If they think you're not going to do anything stupid, they might let you out with them after 18:00.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
^Pessimist Ask her out right before her next class, but don't just ask for her number, then it'll just look you're trying to contact her. Also, don't make it seem like you're just going as friends.

Debates
Yeah, we have a debate club every Friday at lunch. I don't debate, I watch and give my opinion at the end.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
They've shifted from getting a good education, getting a good job, getting married, etc. to getting laid as much as possible -.- Ha. Teenage naysayers have such an immature view of the world. Yup. Jump back 30-40 pages, remember that girl I thought I liked? Well, I don't really feel that attracted to her (I'd still date her though), and the whole time, I was thinking I wanted a serious relationship. Don't think like you're above emotions like that, it happens to everyone, and you feel like an idiot when you realize you expected something that stupid.

Study: "White People Avoid Race Topics"
You're in a french system based school, right? Well, odds are it is going to be centered on France. I'm in that situation and we're learning about being a citizen of France, but not Canada. And I live in Ontario. :roll:

Study: "White People Avoid Race Topics"
I don't really bother about it. If someone ever shouts "That's racist!" in my face, I just reply that that's like saying that black people tend to have darker is racist. Not that all racism is like that, just the things I say.

IPB has a limiter that stops people from posting past a certain amount of quotes, maybe there's a similar mod/function for phpBB?

Actually, no, I remember that at the same time, I thought "Hmm. Surprising, I'm not hard.". And it's not like she was ugly.

YES. People at my school are always in the way, it's insane. I opened a door, behind it was someone tying their shoelace. It hit her, she didn't react and kept tying. #-o Yes, I hit her again after that.

Gun Control
cars arent 100% safe, we still allow people to drive them. The main point is noone(excluding maybe a true psychopath) has ever gone "dude I totally have a gun its telling me to kill you", any gun crime would have been commited with a knife or heavy rock or whatever if the guns were illegal. A car isn't a weapon. Weapons are designed to harm or kill. Cars are a method of transportation.
