My New Car
I'm aware it does matter, as I stated. What I said is that it doesn't matter THAT much, as in you're not going to beat someone just on weight principle, and linking me to an image of one car that may be an acception to that rule isn't going to prove me wrong, lol. I don't respond to PM's, Led. Do you think you're THAT special? That I'd take extra time to PM you? Um, no. Besides that, you're still wrong. Oooo, you found one car that has nothing for horsepower and accelerates like a rocket (or whatever, I didn't even look at it) and you automatically think that means "Yes, any Honda Civic or Toyota Supra can kill any car, stock, because it's lighter." which was the original argument that dude made, and it's wrong. Man I love when you shove words in peoples mouths, yet go into flame trooper mode when someone does the same to you. Did I say that his 160hp car would beat yours? Um, no. Go back to school, do not pass go, do not collect $200. And yes, I must be that special as you replied exactly what you would have said in a PM, yay for dumb assness? I think the only reason you replied here is to make a spectacle and increase your e-cred. What a tool. Pit a light car with less hp (not half, (I beleive this is dumb assness showing again?)) the match would be even, can you link me to a page with the stock stats of your car (HP, 1/4 Mile time and 0-60..) ya know, just for a laugh. Any Honda Civic or any Supra can beat your car? Did I say that, no I didn't, get your fist full of words out of my mouth please. And a Supra isn't a four banger, like you said, you don't know much 'bout cars so you really don't have a leg to stand on in this arguement, peg leg maybe? Supra = 3 litre, six cylander twin turbo stock, so yeah, not exactly a four banger? You fail.

My New Car
You know what's hilarious? When people think weight matters SO much that no matter how powerful your car is, a much lighter car will always beat it. *Snore* Stupid argument, and completely wrong. As I stated before, my sister has a 4-banger Sunfire. It's small, weighs nothing and accelerates like a damn turtle. Seriously, driving my car and then driving her's, it's like night and day. This crap applies to cars with around the same power, the lighter one will win. When the heavier car has TWICE the horsepower of the lighter car, the lighter car isn't going to win just on principle of being lighter. The reason I find this so hilarious is because it isn't the first time I've heard someone use it as if they're some kind of expert. My friend has a 1970 Dodge Challenger with nearly 600hp, it's a freakin' monster, really. He'd race stupid 4-bangers all the time and they'd never stand a chance, even though the kids swore up and down that they'd win because their car was light and his weighed as much as a tank. Afterall, something made completely out of steel can't be fast, can it? The answer is; Uh, duh. Yes it can be. So, if your car weighs 2,000 pounds and has 160hp, vs. a car that weighs 3,000 and has 300 something, you honestly think that 1,000 pounds is going to make the difference enough for the lil' 4-banger to win? Please. ANd I'm highly doubting the gap is even that big. My car doesn't weigh a lot. How you got that it's a "boat" is beyond me. My '67 Cougar is longer than my Grand Prix; and it's a coupe. It's registered as a "Sports car" and not a "boat" for a reason. And I highly doubt I was the one who looked like a chump. I don't care how fast my stupid car is, I don't race it and I don't pretend to be a street racer like he does. I just wanted the other dude to know his car is a peice of crap and he shouldn't act like it's a Viper or something. Good ol' Tigra shoving words in peoples mouths, yet he goes into flame-trooper mode when people do the same thing to him. :roll: Did I ever say his 'light' car would beat yours? No I didn't, I've PMd you reguarding this, still awaiting your reply. (Or are you doing some research, as you've stated before, you really know nothing about cars?) :boohoo:

Why can't America view gaming like Korea.
Yeah, I used to LAN alot a few years back, but now we're all around 20 we're all too busy with jobs and uni so we don't get together to LAN as it takes up a whole weekend. Same mentality here, but things like WoW and other RTS games are more 'nerdy' then other games such as CS. I went to a huge LAN of 700 people a month back. Since the WCG in NZ is still just CS 1.6, the winners of it got $33,000 worth of prizes split up amongst the five in the team, geeky, very much so. But alot of the guys there were actually cool people, but there were HEAPS of nerds. There was some guy dressed up as a vampire, and another dressed up as a ninja!? It was on the news too, so needless to say I hit the deck everytime a news camera came around.

The post I've waited years to make...
I can see your point as most girls probably would think that about flowers, I love them though. I keep the petals long after they die, I have collected them for about 7-10 years or something so I appreciate them. Chocolate is good too :P I've given my girlfriend flowers plenty of times, she loves them. With the roses I get her she usually hangs them upside down in her room, and lets them dry. I think the best thing to give someone in terms of a flower is a Phalaenopsis orchird (also known as the moth orchid), probably the white one with red throat. (Yeah, I used to work in a garden centre \).

My New Car
Neither of your cars are really much to brag about. So shut the hell up, both of you. Specially the guy with the four banger old mans car. And Tigra, there would be a wealth of four bangers that could tear your car apart, it's the size of a boat, power/weight ratio = crap, lol. You kinda jumped in with him on that whole argument and looked like just as much of a chump, lol.

My New Car

Do You Take Action Against Global Warming?
And another thing I do is when I buy beers for home, I get a swap a crate. We only have one glass melting plant in our country, and it's under great pressure. When glass is recycled they don't wash n reuse the bottles. They melt them down. But with swap a crate, you drink your beers, then when you're done take the empties back and get some more, and they steralise and reuse the same bottles. I do still occasionally buy normal beer 'cause swap a crates are only Lion Red and Tui. :ohnoes:

Do You Take Action Against Global Warming?
Yeah we use those 'ecobulbs'. All the supermarkets in NZ use plastic bags, I usually refuse plastic bags and just recycle ones that I already have at home and just bag them up at my car. Turn off lights when we're not in the room. Recycle paper, glass and plastic bottles, compost (I strongly advise on composting, if you do it right, it doesn't smell and we only throw out one bag of real rubbish a fortnight now).

Car Damage...
You can take the inside panel off, so you see the bare metal and try to do some panel beating and pop those dents out. Rubber mallet and possible a towel to pop them out. If it's just on doors they're easy enough to get to.

There is a 3-legged dog that lives on my street. it isn;t too bad to watchi her hobble..she kinda jumps. The one I see quite often is owned by some guy who looks homeless. And he walks around everywhere and his poor dog with three legs has to follow him, and I quite often see his dog just sit down, and not get up for half an hour. Won't even budge because it's so exhausted. It sat down on the road once and wouldn't move, had to be carried off.

What ... the ... hell? Didn't he release a playstation game where the sole purpose was going 'round and shooting people? And now hes boo-hooing like a baby with a temperature 'cause he was shown to be shot in some ad? Granted they used his image without his consent, and thats what he should be sueing over, not his hurt feelings.

Is Marxism in the modern world outdated?
Good in theory, but theres always the greedy person at the top. Absolute power corrupts abo[bleep]ly. And as someone emntioned earlier, that is what I have always had against communism. You go to university, study for years upon years to become a doctor. Then theres your pimple encrusted teenager working at McD's getting the same pay as you for mopping floors?

If the owner can afford this. Which I am guessing would be incredibly expensive, as vets are. My cat broke two of her legs and the vet wanted $2,000. But as I was saying, if the owner can afford it, more power to him. I see dogs with three legs, and it's not the most pleasent thing to see them hobbling round like they do.

Save 3000 strangers OR 1 person you love?
I'd save one person I love over 3000 strangers. The guilt from allowing someone I love to die, over 3000 people I will never ever know is not even comparable.

My hypothalamus (gland in brain)- Question
Yeah I scored a 50 on the male side, would of been higher, but I have good empathising skills. The last question was stupid though, you have $50 to divide among two people how much do you demand. I put $25, because it's only fair? Maybe if I were doing more work or what ever I'd demand more. But demanding more then 65% makes you a man? I think it makes you a [bleep], lol.

Supervolcanoes
Look at where I live; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Taupo - That is a big lake in the middle of the North Island, it erupted thousands of years ago, it's eruption made the sky glow red in China and Rome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Plates_tect2_en.svg - The Indo-Australian plate and the Pacific plate cut right through the middle of New Zealand, which makes for some really interesting times. Especially when you see the direction both plates are moving. And this is the city where I live; Looks kinda like the face of a pimply teenager with all of those craters. Once for a geography school trip, we went up Mt Eden, and had to count how many volcanoes we could see by sight. We could see 18 within visable range. :ohnoes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auckland_volcanic_field

Girls: The Mystery of Man
Treat em mean keep em keen. Yes girls are very complicated creatures. But I've been around them my whole life, raised soley by my mother (I even put the toilet seat all the way down, lid and all!) so I am quite sensative myself. And usually pick up on their little hints and secret messages lol. I can't remember the movie's title. But there was a quote "80% of women will know if they want to be in that relationship by the time of their first kiss." May not be word for word, but should get the point across. Women can be confusing, its one of life's mysteries for sure. Hitch.

Politicians on Pot
Pierre Elliott Trudeau smoked pot and he's widely regarded as the greatest Canadian prime minister yet. Yeah, I wouldn't care either, just thought I'd bring it up as I'd imagine if a a Presidency election was going, and one of the candidates smoked pot once in College, their rival would bring it up every chance they could. I'm of the opinion they should legalise weed.

Politicians on Pot
Ok, alot of you don't care that mere politicians have smoked pot in the past, but what if it were a President or Primeminster? I don't think smoking pot is really morally wrong. Don't get me wrong, I hardly ever smoke the stuff, but things like alcohol and cigerettes do alot more damage.

Clubbing / Disco. <I went! Feedback.
Where is the legal drinking age where you live? If it's 21 like it is here, your friend's dad is incredibly irresponsible. As for that last comment, by "good ID" do you mean like a fake one that will fool the people checking ID's, or an actual legal one? If it's the former, then you're encouraging everyone to break the law? Drinking age is 18, and he is 17. However you can drink from a pretty early age on private property. And you suck! I wasn't aware of a law where you can drink from a pretty early age on private property. Care to enlighten me? Oh no, I suck! Stop hurting my feelings! [/hide] Yeah there is no such law. If the father gets caught there is a MASSIVE fine for providing alcohol for underage people. You are allowed to drink in restaurants and at home if you are accompanied with a parent or legal gaurdian. :P not in the uk :shame: And Kido, I only meant that you need to lighten up a bit. Don't be so boring. Its two shots of vodka for crying out loud. I'm not being boring, I'm all for alcohol, but alcohol to underage persons? No, not really. And alls I'm saying is the father could get into alot of trouble. I looked up UK drinking laws; Looks like spirits are out of the equation? And I think that is a dumb law anyway, any adult can provide alcohol to an underage person?
