Definitely in the big leagues now. I looked it up. >_>

Ha. 2,000 mile, wall-less border between two of the most varied countries in the world? There are only a couple thousand border patrol agents for the whole border. The Texas border is the least-defended in the country. California's border is mostly walls, Arizona's isn't defended too well, but it's most dangerous, New Mexico doesn't attract illegal immigrants very well. Texas, we get the longest, hardest to defend piece. The Rio Grande is a [bleep], that's for sure. Warri0r, I think he meant that drug dealers and such could check to see if the coast is clear with those cameras. Or, they could send a fake report on some other area, and sneak past.

Forty or fifty year old. C'mon guys, the ads she's on are for Botox, and silicone, and various cosmetic surgeries. Pay attention.

It works both ways, unfortunately or not. Unfortunately? "Coast is clear, go go go!" Neat, though.

OOC: Argh, I've got no idea where to go. Whatever, I'll try. ICC: Caladan wiped his face on his shirt. Strangely enough, the bile just sort of slid off, and he gradually could see better. That's when he noticed the vent directly above Vlad and Falconer, and the small man looking down at them. "Hey, you!" he shouted. "Do you need help?" OCC: That's a huntah.

Your mom sent it to cheer you up? Made me feel kinda bad. But good. Um. I dunno. BAH. This is why I try to say hey, or smile, or greet people I don't know. One too many of my friends has killed himself. I don't want someone else's friend, someone's brother, someone's son, just to do that because nobody thought of saying hello one day.

Man, now I don't even fit in with the forum. I used to be friends with all the stoners and potheads, but they learned I don't do drugs. Now I kinda float around.

I like calling the New Testament the Bible and the Old Testament the Torah. Makes me feel all smart-like. And yeah, I find the Old Testament more violent. The New Testament revolves around Jesus and parables, where the Old Testament is all about God casting you into fire and brimstone.

Jeez. It's been 80 degrees all day here in Texas. Not even windy. It was amazing.

Heh, I have the opposite problem. Kinda. A ton of people know my name, but some of them don't know who I am, and I can't remember the names of half of my classmates.

Huh. I dunno. Getting addicted to a drug, particularly one of the harder ones, like heroin, seems to be a torture to me. And yet people actually wish for it to be legal. Perhaps it doesn't seem as big an issue when nobody but the person themself is accountable.

1. I never said that there's never been a war where someone of one religion killed someone of another. I said that that has never been the cause of strife. Personal beliefs are not causes for war. They never have been and likely never will be. 2. I don't understand what exactly you're saying, kinda bad wording. But, no. They do it because someone above them took a notion that they would be better off if they told others that killing themselves and others is what God would want. Therefore, the notions of war are purely man made. You really think so? I find it a bit more violent than, say, the Bible, but it's relatively mellow compared to much of the Torah. Then again, viewpoints can change with age - you've got a good couple of years on me.

Oh, so killing people in the name of "Because I was told to" is that much better? HA! You seem to rabidly believe that God is a pointless figment of people's imagination, and hold science in some sort of reverent regard, and yet claim this? I could certainly make jokes about how unimaginative you are for breathing oxygen and nitrogen, but I will refrain. I believe this as a metaphor. Many people I know believe this is a metaphor. It could be a metaphor, seeing as the Bible is a man-made piece of literature documenting events in the view of true people and followers of their beliefs. Literature tends to go above and beyond petty realistic events.

I think he's talking about this literal war. Yeah, this is pretty bad. You aren't even allowed to walk along the border in El Paso any more, when last year my mother and brother walked around alone in its neighbor, Cuidad Juarez. Pretty insane.

Sorry for the [bleep] move back there. You aren't purposefully ignorant or anything. Islam is just the youngest, large religion thus far. Not to mention its starting place. For example, Judaism. The eldest of the Big Three. Jews were slaves for quite some time, and then, eradicated Arabs from their holy land of Israel. Wars followed for quite some time, and there was no true and solely Jewish motive, unless you count the want for Israel as holy. To be truthful, that area is the hottest culture hearth ever. Christianity - same thing, really. Early Christians had it rough. Soon, it was a large religion, and wars were called supposedly in the name of Christ. I believe it's really just the area and its history that promote so much violence. Perhaps if those three religions were founded in Asia, things would be more peaceful ... Anyhow. The violence throughout the Muslim world is, in my view, due to the plain strife all around there. One of the richest areas in the world, clashes between Africa, Asia, and Europe, constant conquerings; of course they're itching for a fight. It was that way following Muhammed's death. One slip of the tongue from him, who I believe didn't actually want blood shed in the name of Allah, and now there are rampaging armies of Muslims throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa, for decades. Now, as for violent passages, yes, there are. But there are just as many peaceful ones. The Koran was primarily written in the early to middle Middle Ages - it's both a book of defense of your faith and how to worship in peaceful times and with brother faiths. Now, there aren't exactly a whole lot of peaceful times for Muslims, so those parts are occasionally ignored. I believe it is definitely a coincidence, on some part. All terrorism is motivated by some sort of belief, usually religious. I believe I already explained why Islamic terror is large. Of course it can justify it. Justifying is a loose term these days. Whew. I'm done.

Oh darnit. I always confuse you two. Still, must be pretty crazy for folks learning to drive in a city like, say, New York after driving around there. I live in a city of 250,000, and the drivers (and roads) in Houston freaked me out.

But if someone wants to go on a killing spree, they'll get an assault rifle. There are plenty of illegal methods that you would take. Buying one legally can get pretty risky if you're not smooth. Serial killers usually aren't.

Yeah, I don't shave often enough to need one. Once a month is plenty. I have completely blond facial hair, and it doesn't grow in very thick. Is there a way to die it, though? It will look stupid when I try and grow a mustache.

Yeah, isn't the largest city Cheyenne, with, what, 40,000 people there? Crazy South Dakota. I don't trust any of my friends, though. And a lot of them are 16. I always get overly critical on their driving. Tough love. I think I've actually helped one or two, mainly with turning. They'd take huge turns and I kept getting annoyed at having to hold tight to drinks.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Sorry, but you're extremely ignorant of anything involving Islam. Islam promotes violence no more than Axe body spray promotes teen abstinence. What, yet another war for power and wealth? One of, I dunno ... MILLIONS? EDIT: Oh, wait, I guess I shouldn't laugh. You admitted being ignorant to the matter. My bad.

Or, plenty of phones that you can pay as you go. Or, cards. Don't find many of them here in America, but I want those.

Fake or not, they're funny as hell. A couple make me feel bad, though.

ARGH. I cut myself like eight times shaving. Cheap, disposable razors SUCK. Apart from that, boring day staying at home. Yesterday was fun, though. Hung out with my homies.

Anything she picks. Movie dates for first dates as a general rule aren't the best, but sometimes it's all you got. It depends, on whether or not you should start just sucking each others' faces off during the movie. She might like it, but most girls won't for a first date. I see a goodbye kiss (peck, don't start shoving your hands up her shirt and your tongue down her throat) as normal, though.

You just got a date with a hot girl. Don't screw it up.
