I hate the beginning weeks of college cause you have a bunch of freshman idiots being all social and trying to get to know everyone. That's why I take a textbook, doesn't matter which one, and open it while I eat and look at it so it looks like I'm busy. But, like you said, some people just don't get it. I've no problem if you don't want to be bothered, but my response was to when you said you hate freshmans trying to socialize. I mean if they're bothering you when you're busy, then ya I'd get annoyed too, but if people getting together drives you crazy then idk... You took the sentence out of context, though. I was replying to Dizzle's post about people of the like bothering him. I hate the beginning weeks because everyone is going around introducing themselves and I get caught up in that mix, whether I take steps to prevent it or not. You have to admit that the beginning weeks are more filled with this socializing than the rest of the year; this is why I hate them, because there's more of a chance of me being on the receiving end of this socializing.

Is it still pathetic and lazy if you're spending brain power on other things (that actually help you get a degree given you're not getting a degree in United States geography or something like that)? Yes. And life is not entirely about getting a degree or even necessarily going to college. It may not be, but it certainly is not about knowing the states. :P

I'm sorry if some people want to meet others when they get out of the hell hole known as high school. I mean, don't be so cold. Yeah I mean they're just trying to meet other people.. What's wrong with that? My point is, they should go bug people who look like they want to be talked to. I don't care how much you want to make friends, there's dozens of other boisterous people sitting all around me; I'm the one looking at the textbook/listening to my iPod, I don't want to be bothered, it should be obvious.

There is very little evidence speculating one way or the other to be honest. So there is no reason to believe any current theory of how the universe came into existence either. Don't tell me otherwise unless you have SOLID 100% proof that you can show to me. If you are going to tell me that the universe just exploded, show me the damn video recording of it. Whilst it may be hard to prove either way, we can show that the most widely accepted conjectures (Judaism and Islam) aren't even possible. No matter how much you say that, you can't. Anyway, that conversation was done a page ago.

As long as I know relative distance, which I do (i.e. near, far, very far), I'm fine. I'm not going to spend time, even if it's easy, memorizing their places on a map. :P

Strictly speaking of knowledge of where states are in the United States off the top of your head, I find it pretty useless. Aside from trivia games (which aren't super popular at this age, I'd think), I'd never need to know something like that. If I'm planning a trip, I'd need a more detailed map that will display states to me; I won't need to have them memorized. As for making connections and ideas much better, I don't need to know where the states are to do so. And I don't get in many conversations where I have to know exactly how many states away they're traveling to get the point that they're going far away.

You know, it's not only because you're conservative sheltered environment. Swearing in general is looked down upon (less now, though, than it was years ago). Swear in front of your boss, swear during an interview, swear in front of your girlfriend's parents - all don't put you in a very good light (again, there are exceptions, but this is usually the case).

Sweet, thanks! And I'm just curious, since you're up there talent-wise, do you ever play dudes like Vetoed, Dn Prodigy, Jokahs, and those dudes who seem to play a lot together? In other news, tournament is a go. We need a fourth guy still, but our captain can make it (almost missed it cause of his cross country meet). Training tonight since it is tomorrow. I doubt it'll go well for me. EDIT: Second game back. Still really rusty. I just got some lucky rocket spawns. :\

Louder Than Thunder - The Devil Wears Prada Halo montages have some good music. :P

Yup. And I find it fun to speak a language that's so difficult. :) I wouldn't be for making it any easier, since I've gotten used to how hard it is.

I probably couldn't fill out one of those states maps. But honestly, that doesn't prove a thing. I don't need to know where states are off the top of my head. Useless knowledge right there.

Sunny episode was pretty funny.

What's wrong with considering it impolite? It's a swear word, and I'm sure you could find some other more appropriate/romantic word for it. If she doesn't care, then go for it. I'm just saying that a girl might appreciate it more if you refrained from that word.

It seems to be strong wherever you go. What's so weird about thinking that a guy could use more appropriate/romantic language than '[bleep]'? Of course, we've all grown up being told curse words are bad. But we can make the same claim about almost everything we think.

Diggin the word choice. :thumbup:

That's not what he's saying, RPG. He's saying using the phrase '[bleep]ed a girl' is crass. Of course there's tons of girls out there who like getting [bleep]ed. But that doesn't necessarily mean that they all like it when you say 'I want to [bleep] you' or 'I [bleep]ed [so-and-so] last night' or whatever (i'm not saying there aren't girls who do like getting talked dirty to). Noxx's problem is with the term '[bleep]ed'. I personally would never tell a girl (no matter how in the mood I am) that I wanted to '[bleep]' her. I'd phrase it differently just because I don't like cursing in front of girls. And it's a matter of who you're speaking about and/or to. I don't think guys care much if a girl uses the word '[bleep]' to describe what you and her did that night. But the opposite might not be true for every girl out there.

My roommate just yelled down out hall "Hey everyone, we're hosting a big porn sesh in room 216. Feel free to come down!" Then he left for class. Fortunately, I'm leaving in about 15 minutes.

Hope things go well for you, man! :thumbup:

^ Definitely. I like the English language. I think it's fine the way it is. I looked at those words you posted and they seemed unnecessary, tbh. Funny, but unnecessary.

I hope so. :unsure:

Taking my computer science exam in 30 minutes. After that, I have to do some reading for philosophy and then a chemistry lab from 6:30pm-9:20pm. The lab is going to suck just cause it's 3 hours long and there are no chairs in the room to sit down on.
