How some people make money (scamming) long sorry
Where on earth did you pull that from? What about advance fee scams? What about Ponzi schemes? What about pyramid schemes? What about matrix schemes? i use phishing in a broad sense and my fault, i completely forgot about business scams since i dont hear of them nearly as often as i do phishing. quite possibly, there are more types of scams, but business and phishing related scams are the only ones i hear of

How some people make money (scamming) long sorry
i can barely underestand what you're saying, but you do realize, it would be near impossible for someone to send 1M letters by himself. and no one would send back money to a complete stranger. thats fraud, btw and when people ask for money, its usually to close friends (friends that have connections with family) or family themselves, or the bank. no one would get away with such a simple scam the money from the anglican church was not scammed, it was technically part of the tax, since it was an official religion, and there was no separation of state/church back then. Religion was the government. the money only went to constructing more churchs, and they did not try to hide it the only scams right now are phishing scams

If you could go back into History?
if i had the chance, i wouldn't change anything. Changing something would change the path of the preceding events, and i like the world and my life as it is now.

Obsidian = Onyx?
clearly, soma has taken a physics course. clearly, you haven't. he was correct; the pound is a measurement of force, which is basically the same thing as its weight. yes, kilograms are a mass, but you don't hear someone asking how many kilogram-accelerations you weigh, do you? because the acceleration due to gravity is practically constant at the surface of the earth, you'd just be multiplying everything by 9.8. which makes using just kilograms to describe your weight, when considered relative to others, valid. ANYWAYS, what was the topic about? oh right, factual accuracy. surprising that i ended up actually being on topic :thumbsup: either way, soma's comment was unnecessary and arrogant. No one cares, i think most people would assume that we are on earth. if you dont, then computers aren't allowed in area 51 as for the topic at hand, everone is wrong. this is no earth obsidian, this is obsidian made from four-armed, naked lava people, which obviously means its very, very strong

King Dagannoth Guide with vids
i have 99 def and even with it i get hit a lot, obby shield gives great range def and will help u a lot more than rune defender will. i have tested the rune defender and its about the same when attacking supreme but u get hurt a lot more the only time you should have a shield out for meleeing is when you're meleeing sup, and you should alreay have range protection on, thus completely voiding the use of an obby shield if you're good, you'd realize that its wasteful to use whip anyways, since you should be using guthan spear on sup, or letting your teammates heal rather than waste sup's potential healing hp on whip damage

private schools: for or against?
wow, i really didn't know there was an argument AGAINST private schools. theres no solid argument against it. everyone has the opportunity to buy a steak, the difference is not everyone chooses to do so really, if you presented those arguments against someone pro-private school, they would get shot down in a matter of seconds

If you were given a $1000 to make a difference...
i would use it on myself or someone who works for their own college education the only money that should be given to the homeless or the poor should be money to help them raise their position in society, not help them stall and stay at that position. giving money to the homeless does nothing for them in the long run, and the money should be spent on something that you know will make a difference

A lighter topic
depends on how they are cooked. if they're too dry (ie. waffles or pancakes, sometimes), i gag, even when i drench them in syrup (lite syrup, fyi) but french toast, those are always moist and yummy. so they win :)

What do you usually do
um ya. :-s Oh, yes. I fear for my life each and every time I venture out into the city. God forbid that a "gangsta" would have enough testicular fortitude to back up their bad-boy-tough-guy image, let alone be able to land any hits before he takes a foot in the crotch. unless you've actually been in a fight, you should not assume that stuff. messing with strangers purely for laughs is dangerous, gangster or not when i'm with my friends, we usually have something planned ahead of time, so we're usually at the movies or the mall, or at someone's house playing video games. if not, we just play cards after school

Teenage Drauma Hilarious?
the myspace thing is stupid, but the demerit could be serious. of course, it could be pointless, too, but for people who do want to go to college, etc., it could be very important drama is there and unavoidable. nothing you can do about it

Clues attached to certain drops?
clues count as secondary drops now, but they are not attached to certain drops - i get clues at DKs all the time, and i know i've gotten one with iron arrows, another with a gem, and another with coins. I know i've gotten more, but this is just to name a few

Suicide
Whilst everyone is entitled to their opinions, you three clearly do not know the first thing about the mindset of someone who commits suicide. It is not just the feeling of wanting to be free, or of sadness, it is the feeling of being completely trapped and not being able to talk to anybody about your problems. Most suicides occur in men, and most of those in young men. This is because young men are the worst at communicating and discussing their problems. They bottle it up until they cannot cope. It is not a matter of being weak, or cowardly or selfish, it is a matter of sheer desperation, something which I doubt you, or many people have experienced. People used to be prosecuted if they tried to commit suicide and failed, because it was seen as a sin and something that the person ought to be made to pay for. Nowadays the human mind is understood better and physcologists have realised that these people need help, not punishing more. Can't you three take the same view? I doubt it's that hard to pick up a telephone and call a counselor. no offence, but that statement proves that you know nothing about suicide. Its more than just the stupid "selfish" and "cowardly" theories presented previously. Judging by what you've said, you've never looked in the mirror and asked yourself, "why? whats the point?" it takes a lot of courage to kill yourself. The OP posted himself, ordinary people, those who you would never suspect, are the ones that kill themselves. you may see as not being worth it, but you're not the one with the pressure or reason to value life less than you do. No one is in a position to judge them.

Barrows with Proselyte Armor?
prayer bonus does not matter - the barrows (underground) sap 10-12 point of prayer every couple of seconds, and the prayer lost normally is nothing compared to that drain that is why most people just pray with mage robes on, or just tank the melee bros with armor but without prayer
