Well everyone else does...Love problems
Approach her gently and ask her what's going on, she's more likely to be honest, then do whatever the heck you want given her response.

Punk Fans
I don't care what they say, most of the Greenday stuff is not punk music, some of the original music was, but i don't see how a band can claim to be a punk band when their videos cost as much as a small country. They've stolen most of their riffs off other songs, and since most punk bands were being about being underground and playing in small punk stadiums. Greenday ain't that. That's not to say i don't like their music, they've had some fantastic songs, but i don't know why they keep up the pretence of being a hardcore nitty-gritty punk band. Probably for record sales...

Going to movies by one's self?
Never been to the cinema on my own, and i don't really think i ever would until i was a bit older and there was something i really wanted to see. Normally i can find someone to go with, since my film tastes are fairly broad. I've often rented out films on my own though if my parents are going out though and i'm not doing anything.

Covers VS. Originals
I always thought it was DJ Sammy, well he did a version of it anyway, i thought it was good. Knockin on Heaven's Door - Bob Dylan, coverd by just about every artist ever. Hard to beat the original. The Guns n Roses version is terrible imo. I didn't mind the guns n roses version at all, in fact i thought it was very good, not as good as the Dylan original though. There are quite great covers out there, but at the mo i can't think of that many. One of the most memorable ones would have to be Hendrix's version of Sgt. Pepper's, by the Beatles. He did a cover of it a week after it was released, in a concert that the Beatles were watching. That takes guts.

Style or Function?
Style and function combined is often what makes a product so popular. Eg. the iPod 8)

If you had a major website liek tip.it
In the short term people might flock to the sites you were referring to, but after time people come to respect sites like Tip.It more.

Depressing & Tragic Movies
It's funny really because after watching it, I felt extremely rejuvinated and uplifted. I wept like a baby first time I watch, I admit that. It's incredibly sad but the ending just gave this slight explanation for the meaning of life, or perhaps just why we live and love. I dunno, could just be me. Nope, it's not just you. As incredibly sad as it was, i didn't feel too depressed at the end. In fact i went to bed with a new sense of uplifted self. It's hard to describe but it's almost like that film touched me on a deep spiritual level. Brilliant acting by Michael Clarke Duncan.

:: The Ultimate Music Type ::
Rock...rocks :P That's not to say the other categories aren't any good, in fact some of them probably are as good, as Bubsa said it's the blend and variety that gives music it's depth, but i tend to listen to rock more.

Depressing & Tragic Movies
Platoon wasn't exactly a barrel of laughs, and the Deer Hunter was pretty rough as well.

Favorite Town in Runescape
Brimhaven is the coolest, but my favourite is probably Ardougne, there's a lot to do.
-
Favourite Guitar Riffs?
Most of the stuff by the Chili Peppers is great. A lot of Guns n' Roses is very good, Sweet Child O' Mine for example. Smoke on the Water, Back in Black is great, U2 have had a few good riffs recently.

Director topics.
I would be interested, but I don't really have any knowledge about directors so i wouldn't be able to contribute.

Stem cells
I sincerely hope that one day stem cell research can be carried out, it's potential to save lives is simply huge, and at the moment it is the most promising way to cure things like cancer and other diseases.

Remembrance Day - A Tribute to Those Who Died
My school lost some 200+ pupils in the two world wars combined, we have several large stone tablets with the names of the dead inscribed, we observed the two minute silence, and had special poems read out in a special assembly. Tomorrow (Sunday) morning there is a special Christian service which i am attending as an RAF cadet.

Old Cartoons
They scared me as a child, i was actually fine until my older sister found a device that made your own voice all scary and echoey when she spoke into it. She would come into my room at night saying "this is the voice of the mysterons" :shock:

Rock or Rap? maybe Polka?
It's tricky, since both genres have so many sub categories. I don't mind some of the original rap songs, when they had a real message that they were trying to put out, but i now i find rap has become too commercialised, it seems to be constantly made into rubbishy ringtones all the time. I love rock music, i don't really like death rock or any of that crazy crazy stuff where people get killed, but pretty much all other forms, classic rock, folk rock, indie, punk, funk, soft, the Beatles era and all that :)

Companies getting sued for Health Care.
Personally i think taxes on tobacco need to be increased, and the anti-smoking under 16 (i think) rule needs to be better enforced, addictions started in childhood can lead to misery in adulthood. Also i think anyone sueing companies like MacDonalds for making them fat needs to be sent to a remote desert island and left there, seriously sueing a company for producing a fatty product which you chose to eat is crazy, and an example of the blame culture gone mad. Smoking also needs to be banned in all pubs and restaurants, passive smoking costs the NHS a ridiculous amount of money each year, and is frankly disgusting.

Tallest friend you've ever had?
Often the really tall ones are the easiest to tackle. You don't need to bend down much to go for their legs, and like a tall statue once they start to wobble... :P

ASIO raids on suspected terrorists in Australia
but i am right, in senses though, police states are good for people, they keep them safe, in life you have to make certain sacrifices for what you need, but thats life Amen, police states are needed to effectively protect us from terrorists, sacrificing a few liberties that you will hardly notice being lost is a prefectly acceptable price to pay even if it just saves one life.

ASIO raids on suspected terrorists in Australia
I don't think that the aftermath of the raids and the potential hatred is the important thing, the important thing is that many lives have possibly been saved, and if we'd been able to do that with any of the other major incidents i'm sure most people would choose problems afterward the horror of a terrorist attack.
