  1. Ended relationships don't always end in ended friendships. Most of the time they do, just not always. The question becomes whether or not there's something substantial enough between you and your current partner to work through it. Isn't that the whole point of a relationship? I agree, but a "friendship" where one party still likes the other party and the other party isn't sure whether they do or not is not just a friendship.
  2. I have to disagree with Muggi. If she's committed to you, it wouldn't even be a question of whether or not "she still likes him". Not to mention that in my opinion someone in a committed relationship should not constantly feel the need to hang out with old partners... so she's not over him. Hence my posting "abandon ship". "If you break up you'll be playing right into his hands" - who cares? Let him have her. She obviously isn't fully committed to him anyway, so unless he's okay with that their relationship is already fundamentally broken.
  3. I live in Canada...you aren't allowed to carry guns in public. And on the very rare occasions I've seen someone other than a police officer carrying a gun it hasn't bothered me in the slightest.
  4. The same sentiment should apply to everyone. If you're scared of someone just because they have a gun, you're stereotyping, simple as that.
  5. Of course, not blaming you. Just saying it's a stupid rule. Then people are being stupid. I don't immediately assume just because someone has fists that they're going to punch me, same goes for a gun.
  6. Apparently Nash to NYR for Erixion, Dubinsky, Anisimov and a first...
  7. Rules like this are asinine. If you confront someone who has a gun for malicious purposes, he's just going to shoot you and continue with what he was doing. But by preventing people who own guns legally for protection from carrying them in, you're removing a deterrent or protective force from the premises. Exactly the same goes for those "no guns within x distance of a school" rules. Someone who wants to shoot up a school is not going to heed the rule, and anyone who might otherwise have a gun who could stop the shooter is going to obey that rule. You're right that it doesn't help with shootings like this at all. It's only useful for limiting the damage that someone might do if a conflict/argument escalates, not if he planned to do anything with the weapon beforehand. The best way is still not to give guns into private people's hands at all imo, the problem is just that in a country like the USA, where weapons are so prevalent, it's going to take a while until enough firearms are actually secured for this law to work properly. Of course. But those are pretty rare imo... And yeah, complete gun control is the only solution, but I can't see it ever being feasible in north america.
  8. Well, it's certainly an interesting experience...
  9. Lol, for a second there I thought you were talking about a person named "Sun Burns"...since it's actually one word :P I agree (I have one right now) but it doesn't annoy me too much as it's entirely preventable and I have only myself to blame..

    Do farmers in your area not irrigate their crops? We haven't had much rain this year, but because of the heat, the corn is growing better this year than it ever has in my memory. None of the corn is dead either; usually a few fields are lost to storms, but there's been no loss this year. No idea, to be honest. I just read that they needed rain badly.....although they did mention that the heat is good for the corn if they get enough rain. It may be a pollination thing though as opposed to them drying out..
  12. Agreeed with omar re: noxx, 2 hours is fine...and she said she wanted to hang out again...chill.
  13. Shea Weber signs an offer sheet with the flyers for 14 years, 120 mil. Wow...

    Rainless here as well. Apparently the corn crop doesn't have much longer before it dies unless we get rain...and much of the american midwest has already lost their corn crop for the same reason.
  15. What programming language are you using? Basically you should use an xml parser to grab this data....so for C# for instance you could use LINQ to XML...
  16. Whatever you do, don't use Regex :P
  17. Could you provide the website?
  18. While we're on the topic of thinking that boys are attracted to the same things you are, I think it's also fair to mention that guys don't really get turned on by how smart, independent, successful, or confident a woman is. It's not as important as her physical appearance is when it comes to that ;) To get turned on, sure. But things like that are important to a lot of guys for other reasons... Fair enough.
  19. Hate to burst your bubble, but some guys don't like girls who are overly clingy. That said, you should talk to him anyway...good luck.

    There's nothing about reddit that's more mature and intelligent than 4chan...like all internet forums it has its moments amongst the rest of the stupidity.
  21. I get these all the time...some are more convincing than others
  22. A thread is a vehicle for discussion...my main point is that we already have a thread that could easily contain this kind of material.
  23. I think these kinds of threads are pointless...there's no discussion to be had, just mindless blabbering...and we already have the today and the "annoy" thread for that..
