I'd have to say try pyro/heavy first. Maybe then switch to soldier and demo. Medic is fine but it does take a lot of skill. Sniper just sucks, and scout/spy have very specific tactics but can be great fun once you've got some game experience.

Why does everyone say this? Brodeur is the better goalie than Luongo. Look at the first game - yes, Luongo got a shutout, but it was an easy game. Canada only beat the Swiss because Brodeur was so good and in the shootout there's no way Luongo would have fared as well. Both the goals on Broduer in that game weren't his fault, both were deflections I believe. I didn't watch all of the Canada vs. US game last night but I know the first goal was a deflection and the second was due to terrible defensive zone coverage from the Canadian defence. The Canadians have a lot of work to do as a team offensively and defensively, Broduer is the least of their problems.

I believe he's using his code with permission.

I like climateaudit.org, but I wouldn't exactly call it unbaised - it definitely has a deniers slant.

Interested to see how mens hockey turns out - expectations of Canada are ridiculously high as always, and we have a great team, but the competition is insane. That win against Switzerland was close last night, and while they have a solid team, they're no Russia or Sweden.

Not much more to say than this, phenomenal work.

Not really looking to lose weight, but I tried it out anyway. Cals 1714 Fat 66.9 g Cholesterol 70 mg Sodium 1610 mg Carbs 272.7 g Sugars 101.1 g Fiber 22 g Protein 66.23 g Slightly over for fat, sugar at 253% :( Protien slightly over as well but I'll probably do a mild workout today so that should make up for it. After adding in the carrots I'd normally eat but won't (ran out): Cals 1819 Fat 66.9 g Cholesterol 70 mg Sodium 1805 mg Carbs 296.7 g Sugars 116.1 g Fiber 28 g Protein 69.23 g

That's absolutely ridiculous. That's why I don't have a webcam :P Although if it was part of the laptop I suppose I'd just cover it up with something.

I thought DK closed? Oh well grats.

Lets see, odd jobs.. I've mowed lawns, shovelled driveways, delivered newspapers, cleaned showers, babysat, blown/raked leaves, and copied poems (don't ask). Real job wise - Made pizza for 3.5 years, work in the automotive department of a hardware store, and program for one of the nearby municipalities.

Yeah....guy seems way too small as well.

Hate to sound a tool. But Jesus was not the only person claiming to be the son of God and Messiah's at that period in time. In fact his some followers participate in stoning (can't remember if it was to death) another son of god/Messiah not long after Jesus has died according to the bible. The only reason people relate to Jesus is he was slightly more popular at the time and the "resurrection" (highly debated as it isn't actually mentioned in the earlier bibles found and is thought by many to have been added later as almost a 1up). I'm sorry, but Jesus wasn't that special he was just one of many Messiah's (doctor and alternative thinker) at the time who got rose tinted glasses in the history book. Why did he get rose tinted glasses? Surely he had to have a significant following in order to merit that? If there were so many at the time, why was he the only one who prevailed? Was it because there was something special about him?

Read it all.. he makes several points typical of athiests. A quick point: He asks why God hasn't revealed himself to us? He has...in Jesus. Oh, but that's right, the bible is a complete lie. But I'm sure all the other historical documents he referenced are accurate. Looks like thiests aren't the only ones picking and choosing. Free will: God doesn't control us. I'm sure someone's going to quote this post and argue with me, but that doesn't oblige him to do it. People who claim to tell the future, maybe they can, but they don't control it. Lets look as well at his theory of "design by chance". A common analogy used by athiests and beleivers in design by chance is that if you put monkeys to keyboards they would eventually write a shakesperean sonnet. Makes sense, right? Well, not quite. You see, a very famous athiest tested this theory. He trained 6 monkeys to type on keyboards. After 6 months of typing they had not written a single English word..inluding " a ". One single word, as a percentage of a shakespearean sonnet, would have taken millions of years for them to write. A rough calucation based on the number of "random chances" needed to create us basically told him that the universe hasn't existed long enough for those random chances to all have occured. And Ps. This athiest is now Catholic. I'll try to find a link explaining this, it's probably pretty confusing and I don't remember it too well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem - Here's the wiki, can't find who actuall did the experiment though.

Oh, yeah, easily. Thing would probably pass out in the middle of the fight :grin: Or be extremely hungry and vicious ;)

Nothing wrong with adults and teens playing video games...its when little kids play violent games that it has detrimental affects to their upbringing.

I'd say you're probably the most a human could hope to beat is in the coyote/wolf/hyena range. They use mainly their jaws as weapons, and while they are deadly, obviously, it is only one thing to worry about. With a tiger, for instance, you neutralize the jaws but still have the claws to work around. Plus the strength of it would be too much to handle.

overcrowded. are you SRS. Definitely 100% yes. Wow lol. Thats kind of ignorant. We have so much of the world left. You really honestly believe you're being selfless not having kids? Thats pretty messed up. Agreed. The world isn't overpopulated at all - its an excuse made up by people too selfish to admit the real problem: wealth distribution. And yes, I think not having kids is selfish...sometimes. I can accept that not everyone is meant to have kids, some people just won't make good parents, or have other priorities, etc. But I do think people who get married(in my mind putting themselves into a prime child-raising environment) are selfish to not have kids. Look at what they say: "I want to enjoy my own life, I don't want kid's to ruin it." That's pretty selfish to me - having children is the greatest gift and the most selfless on anyone can give to the world.

Hell no, you a virgin? Nope. Please, try to tell me reproduction isn't the natural purpose of sex.

I'm only going to reply to Saru's post, as what the rest are saying is pretty much covered/its going to get long Wrong. We do it, because we love our partner. Not only for pleasure, but because we, like all humans need a companion to help us get through life. And to the response of your next paragraph; even if we don't get married its not like we're going to have kids anyways. I mean if either way we won't have kids, why even bring kids into it? And also, there are many wonderful gay couples who adopt kids off of the street, and give them great lives and are superb fathers, or mothers to them. Yes, you do it because you love your partner - an admirable feat regardless of orientation. But it doesn't change the fact that you've stripped the act of its natural purpose - children. I'll liken it to this. You rob a bank to donate a large sum of money to Haiti. Is donating a large sum of money to Haiti a great, honourable, respectable thing to do? Absolutely. But you've warranted the act invalid by taking away the natural purpose - giving from yourself. One wrong and a right don't make a right, if you will. Oh, and gays are superb fathers and mothers, right? I agree...they definitely can be. But there's a reason why we're naturally made to have a significant male and female in our lives. A huge amount of people in jail were born with only one parent - aka missing influence of a solid family grounded with a male and female perspective. Whatt? They wanted to have their wedding ceremomy at a location. The location didn't allow, it discriminated based on their orientation. If a Latino Man wanted to work at my location, and I said no cuz you're latino. I would be sued. Do you see a difference? I don't. While yes business to have he right to not "serve" people; there's most likely more to the story then you're telling us. Yes, and suing them for it was discriminating based on their religion. They have the right to practice it, and while you may think its stupid, freedom of religion is protected, but here we see it being shafted over a new freedom - I don't call that fair. The whole story? That's it, that's whats so remarkable. First off, I'd like to thank you for granting us use of the word "relatioships". I mean what? Are the quotation marks really necessary? Second, I'd like to thank you for your permission for us to be in a relationship. Third, I'd like to warn you. WATCH OUT! We are a threat to your marriage! We're out for blood! Sorry for the sarcasm, I couldn't resist XD You're correct on the first point, they weren't necessary. I conceded that many homosexuals have real relationships. Secondly, you're welcome. Thirdly, yes, you are a threat. Look what happened when probibition stopped.. more people drank. When something is seen as acceptable in society, people are going to do it more. Now we won't see results now, and yes, homosexuals are a small % of the population, but as more and more people become gay having children is something that becomes less and less important. Already due to the baby boomers getting old america and the west are facing a huge healthcare/economic crisis, as spending power is being hugely decreased due to an aging population. This contributes, or at least will. And ps. This is a result of the society today - where advertizing preaches a philosphy of "take what you want, when you want, with no regard to others". Selfishness is the root of all the evil and unrest in society today. Why are there wars? Because countries are too selfish to see anything but their own interests. Why is there world hunger? Because people are too selfish to go without to help someone less fortunate.

Then I guess it could be done only for items that aren't free? It would be difficult though with prices changing all the time.

Uh, why? Uh, why not? Why shouldn't they be able to marry even if they love each other? The "ew that's gross" factor doesn't apply here; it really doesn't matter if people find it gross. There's also levels and degrees with which this needs to be discussed. For example, an adult/child relationship, even when the child is of age, could in fact be the result of abuse and forced coercion without the son/daughter even being aware of it. I am skeptical of it being legal in this type of relationship, specifically because the odds are on the side of it being forced coercion and not the result of true consent, and is therefore a form of rape. There are a lot of "why nots". Genetic mutation, degredation of moral standards in society for instance. And to play devils advocate - what if the child actually wants it? Then why not? Shouldn't we just allow it? Same goes for polygamy.

Uh, why? This is magekillr we're talking about, pretty sure he wants to legalize everything. ;) I have a few issues with homosexual marriage. Kids - are the most basic, most natural reason for sex. Since gays can't produce kids through sex, then they've made the act illegitimate. They've stripped it of its natural purpose and are using it only for pleasure (something which unfortunately many others do as well). Some may say: "Some couples may chose not to have kids". I think that's selfish - the world needs children to survive. People forget that they too were kids once, and if they never have any..well lets just say this is far more of a threat to our future as a race than aids or "global warming". I also have an issue with the way homosexuals tend to force themselves onto everyone. I don't know what ammendment it is in the states, but it seems like "freedom of orientation" (something which, btw, is not in the original charter) supercedes all other freedoms. For example, a few years back a lesbian couple wished to have their wedding reception at a knights of Columbus hall. (For those who don't know, the knights of Colombus are a cathoic mens group) They were refused. They took the KOC to court, and while they didn't win an outright victory, COK had to pay the couple several thousand dollars for "hurt feelings". This just goes to show how one right (right to orientation) is superceding freedom of religion (much more widely used and mature in its practice). On the flip side, however, I also firmly beleive homosexual activity and "relationships" should not be illegal or in any way restrained by law. While I may have my personal beleif that homosexuality is wrong and inappropriate, people do have freedom to do what they want. They should be allowed to. I just don't beleive that further threatening the state of marriage in society is beneficial or necessary.

Same, if it's done its done. Ghjjf left because he was bored with the game - once summer is over I'm sure he'll resume his boredness and quit again. And if he does, there is no point keepind DI open, because as much as you may like to make fun of him DI woudln't be the same without him. I highly doubt they could get anywhere close to their old power as well.

I like BMW's, and audis. Not a huge fan of ferarri/lambo. I really want a hyundai sonata though, weird man crush... :?

Its a waste of money trying, why not expect the other intelligent life to find us? Maybe the other intelligent life forms are thinking this same thing, and are waiting for us to find them. If we all did that, nobody would be found. Exactly. I do believe in fiscally responsible space exploration (ex obamas new space plan is much better, pity about the wasted money though) but the universe is out there, surrounding us, and one day we will need to know more about it to survive.
