Or, for that matter, a loving bond with one's pet... Err... She is alive, and she's doing surprisingly well: The hat is in there because she has no brain. She cannot feel, think, hear, see, talk she only moves as a reaction. She has no "soul" She dosn't know it's there. And it's wasting food and other resources that could be used for someone else.

Yea, no school today for me wooohhh They are giving us that vaccine thing on Monday morning (that is if it's not canceled)

why? The baby is basically empty. The mother is essentially playing with a dead body.

http://babyfaithhope.blogspot.com/ The story is the bit in pink underneath the photos. Basically the child has no brain and only a residual brainstem, the child will never gain any kind of consciousness, it is basically just a vegetable, it has some reflexive twitching but there is no kind thought process, it is just an empty body. The child was predicted to die soon after birth, she is keeping it live for religious reasons. More info on the disorder here: ****Warning, potentially graphic and disturbing images.**** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anencephaly In my opinion, the mother needs help, she even says that "She seems to function at the same level as any "normal" baby. In fact, she may be a little more advanced for her age." It's like if she has convinced herself she is a normal baby. IMO the baby is practically an empty shell, why waste money and resources on her, she will never live an actual life. What do you guys think of this? Did she make a reasonable decision? Is it possible to make any kind of reasonable decision in this situation?

Not a huge DT fan, but i will try it. What's with the hate @_@

I am spending alot these few months (new computer, new room, other stuff) and i can only afford to buy a new game that is out now. I'm going to Tucson today, and i will only buy a game until i go again in the Summer. So here goes the question. If you could only buy 1 game (xbox 360), which one would you buy?

Does someone have the threads Trapical made stored somewhere, i have heard alot from those, but they are never posted. As soon as someone points them, feel free to lock the thread.

I had my first summer job when i was 14, at a small-medium store, gained 350 pesos the week, which was okay, i bought my Gamecube that way :P Then at 15 i had another summer job at a Dairy Queen which was inside a cinema, which means fun \ When i reached 16 i started to work part time at a cinema, but i got fired like 3 months ago. >_> And that's the story of my life. I will probably get another job, but i'm VERY interested in online surveys, i wonder how those work o.O

It's an interesting mix of Groove metal and that sniff of Thrash and hardcore... Isn't it? They've toured with Devildriver and Ill Nino, I think they're pretty neat. Saw them in holland a few weeks ago. Gud stuff : Yeah, makes sense, they're touring Europe and then hitting LA for the end of their tour. I'd by a T Shirt but the only place they sell them is Hot Topic and I'm afraid of those stores :cry: Oh, you are afraid of overpriced shirts, Twilight merch and punkagothic 14 year old girls?

Speaking of memes, the RickRoll was a DuckRoll originally, on the early days of the internet, people send links to let's say, a news site. But when people clicked on them it send them to a picture of a duck: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v186/pickie/Duckroll.jpg It was called the DuckRoll, it eventually faded, and when the internet was good enough to stream videos, the RickRoll happened, same trick, different name.

On Saturdays, people on 4chan posted pictures of cats with captions, it was called Caturday, but it apparently spread over the internet and people started calling them lolcats, eventually most of 4chan stopped using it, as it gained popularity, and i think it's considered a Dead Meme (same thing happened with rockroll on that parade, it's when a memes get mainstream.) So that's the story of lolcats :thumbsup:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlgorID5k-0&feature=related Small summary in English. OK. In early 2008, emos got mainstream. Everyone wanted to be emo. Mexico City was an emo-zone. As most "urban tribes" emos needed to find a place to claim theirs. They found the Glorieta de Insurgentes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlgorID5k-0&feature=related) and stayed there. Other urban tribes started to view them, and they realized that emos were getting stuff from other tribes. (the "dark" look from goths, the clothing from skaters, music from punk etc..) And the fact that people said that "emos" had nothing to contribute to the overall culture. Also, the Glorieta was widly used by skaters to well, skate. And when emos invaded it, skaters had to go as they were to many. So they now had metalheads/punks/skaters/goths/skas angry at them. They were pissed, but then it happened, media saw what was happened, and hell broke loose. ____________________________________________________ Kristoff, which runs a popular show which answers questions and other stuff. What happened is that someone mailed him. Telling him that what he tought on the emo fad that was going on. He said something like this: "I just want to tell something: emo is [bleep]ing bs. What are emos? Emos is something for 15 year old girls, who just got hairy you know where. They are EMOtional because they love the singer on some crap band. Not because they like their music, number 1. Number 2, is it necessary to create a whole new genre to express emotions, i mean, don't we have enough with Death Metal? Is it not sufficient with Punk? Is it not enough with *Camila, Sin Bandera, Jose Jose? Is it necessary to create a new genre that says, dude, everyone else is wrong, emotionally that doesn't fill us. [bleep]ING [cabbage], kids. There is no movement, there is no way of thinking, there are no musicians. You confuse punk ,hard rock, screamo, you mix every currents just to give a meaning to your stupid crappy movement. There is no movement" Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEQshjri6P8 *= Camila: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgqzGYNANaM Jose Jose: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsDgwGnXo6U Sin Bandera: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BybiqpNDhjU Before you jump to say something, let me tell you something first. Punk and other tribes are taken VERY seriously in Mexico, small bands like *Panteon Rococo, Ska-P, Molotov and other bands are very political. They were born in the 80's where Latin American society was VERY closed against others in the world. In the 80's there were almost no rock concerts in general. Why? Because they talked about being free, and it included anarchist, chaotic and sexual themes. Punk, metalheads and ska bands had to live in the underground. That's why these bands now are in touch with their fans. Because those fans helped them carry equipment. They got drunk with them, and they escaped the police together when they needed to. Why all that? Because Mexico is a very Christian country. That and in the 80's and 90's the PRI party was running the country. They [bleep]ed up big. People were angry and they needed something to help them express what they felt. They wrote about social injustice, about segregation, about politics and what they felt. That pissed alot of conservative people on the government. People got very identified with other people on their current (punk, ska etc..) So it's VERY serious business here. :!: *= Panteon Rococo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P341W77b9hY Ska-P: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDuzsYl5DMk Molotov: Now, that little thing that Kristoff said got alot of people inspired. People were running rumors that everyone was meeting at the Glorieta to show emos who's the boss. They were angry that emos had media attention and that they were "accepted", while everyone else was segregated on the 80's and had to fight the power to get respect. It eventually happened, about 800 people showed up. Between skaters/goths/metalheads/skas/skinheads/rockers/darkets they started to fight and they charged straight to the Glorieta against emos. They were hit hard. Same happened in Queretaro, news report appeared: Link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAsNih3jG9g&feature=related About 2 days later, Kristoff said this: "Before starting this program i want to clarify something, I [bleep]ing hate people like you. What happened? This show is about having fun, a form of entertainment, if you use what we do here as a way to get together you bunch of [bleep]ers and beat the crap out of three poor little kids (three emos were almost killed on Queretaro), three [bleep]ing kids. You know what? One: You have very little balls you [bleep]ers. Two: If you are so cool and [cabbage] to beat the crap out of them, let's see you idiots, go with Maras Salvatruchas you suckers, let's see how you all end up-- Or with reggeatoneros (a form of rap and reggae popular on latin america), but why do they beat up emos? They beat them up because emos won't defend themselves, they are inside their little [bleep]ing world! Leave them, you idiots. What are the [bleep]ing balls you got? To get everyone and beat up three little kids. What the [bleep] did the little guys did to you? "They took the Glorieta" How the hell do they took it? Were they carrying weapons or something? They just go there and seat, dude. This [cabbage] that they want to do in Mexico City dude (actual word is "we", used alot by people here to refer someone) because, of course! We are taking the [bleep]ing example of those idiots in Queretaro, dude! And what are we doing? "IF YOU SEE AN EMO THIS SATURDAY, KILL HIM!" that's very stupid. Hey, let me tell you something that happened in the 80's when your parents were [bleep]ing, people hated poor people. You know what they do? The got in groups and grabbed baseball bats. When they saw one, the [bleep]ed him, to death! Why? Because they were "cleaning Mexico", that's the level of stupidity that's going on here! Every idiot that went there, let me tell you something. I have always said I may not agree with what you think, but i would die [bleep]ers, i would die to defend your right to express it. As you can see, this is serious. Also, Kristoff always talks like that, he is brutally honest and swears when he wants, when people ask him, he says "It's my [bleep]ing show, and in my [bleep]ing show, i can do everything i want, got that?" After that media gave attention to Kristoff, and emos told the news that he was inciting violence against them. Marches for peace and confrontation with the police and other tribes continued. Telehit, the channel that Kristoff works for (which is owned by Televisa, the biggest T.V. studio on Mexico) made a special debate of 3 hours, where they invited emos and government representatives. Called "ID: Emos" the program ran for 3 hours straight on Telehit and on Televisa. Many people watched it and even more media attention was gathered. Emos accused Kristoff of inciting violence, he said he is not sorry of what he said, but he agreed he may have worded it a bit harsh. It ended in an agreement. "Respect" This sort of things continued, people used Youtube to upload videos of emos being beat up. A big "Peace & Respect" march from emos was organized in the Chopo (a big marketplace dedicated to the underground community of urban tribes) 500 emos attended and when they were infront of the Chopo, the peace agreement broke and punks attacked emos, again, they won and emos were sacred. Small incidents are still occurring, but it has mostly died out, i suspect it will rise again. Also, to the guy who says homosexuality si the issue, that's not true. Puto ([bleep] in Spanish) is a common insult here. And one can be led to believe that they also hate homosexuals. Not true (but i agree that some people hate gays)

dude if you were trying to make that funny you just hurt my feelings but still its alright to joke around well thats how one of my best friends died. He got a broken heart from one of the most prettiest girls in school that was his girlfriends than he decided life wasnt worth it after she said no to him and then he got real mad then shot him self. but i do got to admit it was kinda of stupid of him to kill him self especialy since he was only 14. It is funny since you just proved his point (circumstantially but still...). Dumb idea killing yourself over deluded teen love, you're right on that point (first time for everything). Or maybe he committed suicide because he was secretly gay (I think a stupid girlfriend thing is really improbable) and you, his best friend, were so intolerant and ignorant that he felt he had no place in the world (if his best friend wouldn't accept him who would? Right?) and decided to off himself to escape the torment of the secret he kept. Too bad your closed-mindedness kept him from coming to you for support and acceptance, maybe if you weren't so immature he wouldn't have killed himself. Maybe it's your fault. Bigotry kills. Nice =P Also, the post was made in a jocking (sp?) manner. Sorry if anyone was offended or something. Well, suicide should be "legal" (I mean, what's the legal consequences?) as long as your family knows that you are doing it/leave a well explained note. But this things should only be the case for people who have truly a reason to do it, like some disability or a terminal illness. Just like the girl venomai posted. That's the sort of thing.

Chill people, a couple of years ago he thought girls were nasty. Yay for another state! Unfortunatly it may take DECADES for any Mexican state to recognize it, but people here are alot more tolerant now (atleast young people) Maybe i should move to Iowa! :D EDIT: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18034102/ = awesome

That guy doesn't look unhappy? there :P On the emos topic, there were some organized fights on Mexico D.F. and other major cities on Mexico to attack emos, i was lucky i was in Mexico City that day, when my cousin (a skater himself) told me what was going to happen. We then go to the Glorieta and we find like, 800 emos there. And they are all surrounded by goths/skaters/punks/skas/metalheads/rockabilies/skinheads Then [cabbage] happened, someone punched an emo, and hell broke loose. I litterally saw how something close to 1400 guys charged against 500 emos. People were being dragged, and cars stopped and there were a few accidents. Then the news got in and started to interview people and the police got there, that's where most attackers escaped. I felt like if i was in a movie. We were being chased by police on small streets, but we were like 100 people at the same time. So it was a disaster, i fell and my cousin got me up. We got a bus with other 30 people and we separated from there. The next few days, we were excited by hell, watching th news reports on different incidents across Mexico. And to think it's (mostly) this guys fault: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEQshjri6P8 P.S: small summary of everything that happened in Mexico on English: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlgorID5 ... re=related

OH NNOEZ MY GF BROKE WITH MEH I'M GONNA KILL MISELF LIFFFE NO WORTH1!!!!111!" Most teen suicides are because of teen drama. Older people may do it because of different causes, life/job/house/money. IMO, someone should suicide if he wants to. It's not your life.

Anyone seeing Fringe? I just saw the first episode to the one with Roy drawing future Pattern stuff. And i love every second of it, it's really good stuff. What i don't like is that i feel that if i miss an episode, i will miss alot of things.

What's a SAT/ACT?

Ask Fred Phelps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Phelps People like these make me sick. A friend of mine is studying in Wisconsin, he tells me they sometimes see picketers holding those "God hates [bleep]s" posters, then some students pass the voice and half an hour later they are being overrun by more than a hundred students. Sometimes gay/lesbian people kiss in front of them, if anyone tries to touch them, they are chased until they are gone. =D>

I have recently looked to both gods of guitar and gained interest in them. But idk where to start, the local record store has a huge collection of both of them, so i am confident i can find every album made. Where should i start with both? Also, if possible, i am looking in something more rock than jazzy, but anything is okay. Thanks in advance :

Congratulations, Iowa
