Angels and Demons comes before the Da Vinci Code. Angels and Demons' book is so much better than the Da Vinci Code it's unreal.

This just in: Vince's prostitute refused to be sold. This deal is null and void.

Sometimes the fairies can keep you company and help you when you fall down in the garden, though. ;)

Well, according to my teacher I have to take the SAT anyways, but probably not with two subject tests. Maybe I'll try to do both that and the ACT with writing and give them whichever I do better on? >_>

Nah, five at most.

[bleep] suicide. It's cheating. I know people who've done it. And I would beat the [cabbage] out of them if I had the chance. It just isn't fair to quit like that. [bleep] it.

I don't think anybody believes that, though. That could be a vaguely religious thought. If there were no organized religion, personal beliefs would be even more prominent and spoken out for. There might be more or less bad, though. People might feel there's nothing to stop them because they believe that, or maybe people would respect each other more. Plus they wouldn't really have an excuse for being a [bleep] to someone else. People just don't understand that all religion is a personal belief, but there are ties people have found good for morals and whatnot.

Surprised this just made the news. Sure sucks. Italy's a nice place. I didn't even know earthquakes occurred on any non-ridiculous timespan there.

What. I thought we had the whining phase back in February. Wait, but we also had the news phase back in February. WORMHOLE? Oh, no, wait, we got like ten people either starting to get familiar or coming back to us. Whatever.

I think that's just because of how awesome a subject you chose. You should send it to me, I want to read it. I should seriously stop procrastinating. I have to do index cards, some geometry, and some stupid Dear Abby assignment I missed. And probably get started on my massive 50%-of-my-total-grade-for-the-last-six-weeks projects. Haaaaaaa.

Would it be better to take the SAT and two special sections or whatever, or the ACT with the writing section? A lot of schools I'm looking at (namely Rice) want one of those things. I know the SAT would be simple enough, I make consistent grades on our SAT practice tests in PSAT I. Words are good for me :thumbup:

I might be able to go to SXSW next year. Would be [bleep]ing awesome. Millions of music freaks doing what we do best. Augh, crappy day. I got a whole buncha homework.

That isn't justification any more than Hitler's "justification" for killing Jews. It was manipulation by the upper classes for their own gain.

They have had reasons, though. Surrounded by pretty hostile folks, and they really wanna keep their land, so ... BOOM BANG BOOM!

Attaboy. I for one think you can do good in school to spite the conformism of nonconformists conforming to the conformist attitude that all nonconformists conform (or non as the case may be) to the strategy of nonconformism. Basically, do whatever the [bleep] you want.

This story was made in Germany; you know they make good stuff there.

I don't think he'll be a social [developmentally delayed]. My brother was in the original gaming generation. He didn't do very well in school his last two years, but now he's doing pretty good in college, and he's out at bars or just hanging out with friends most nights.

So? Does it matter if you share beliefs with other people? You still differentiate with them on others. Everything's personal, even if nothing is. Going all Zen here. EDIT: Fixed the quote.

Look up Iron Horse for music, base it around that. You'll get an A because of sheer awesomenity. I've been considering Rice University more. I think if I work and take out a loan, as long as I get some sort of grant or something, I'd be able to cover tuition. But that's if I would even get in. Definitely not getting my hopes up, they only let in like 40% of the Freshman class. But, might as well consider it as one of my top schools. Be cool to go there with my friend. I also beatbox-harmonica'd some more.

Why should personal beliefs not be a reason for something, particularly good things? Your beliefs will come out on every damn thing you do, there's no denying it. Happens to everybody, and that's why there's such a thing as, well, differences. If nobody followed their personal beliefs, hell, I don't even think we'd be here.

What about using religion to justify being a cool guy. That's a WWJD right there. Good things yes, bad things no?

Haha, I do my homework and studying about an hour after dinner every night and I have like a 4.5. Half my classes are blow-offs, and my pre-AP classes give a whole lot to my GPA. Next year I'm gonna half to crank it up, though. You just have to do your homework first, though, if you really feel like you could do better. I used to be pretty addicted to games, but now they've started boring me. And I'm the same age as you, dawg. :thumbup:

Could just be distorted through uneducated people, hookah or, well, anything. Maybe it did happen. Who knows. I mean, people were feet shorter back then, and likely were more bulky and broad. A giant could have been a seven-foot guy. But there have been wonderings about whether or not that was really a much more interesting time - there are whole groups doing research on giants, people living for centuries, etc. I don't know what I'm rambling about anymore.

Almost their entire population is at least in reserve military forces and North Korea uses an extreme amount of their GNP to fund that military. They kidnap South Koreans and sell their families tickets to visit them. North Korea is the small, smelly kid nobody likes that always carries knives in his backpack and has the drunk dad that taught him how to use a gun when he was two. You know the one I'm talking about.

Don't think anybody should worry too much. Read this if you're seriously scared of North Korea. You need not be any longer. http://www.cracked.com/article_17165_6-reasons-north-korea-funniest-evil-dictatorship-ever.html
