Dude, the CIA can't even keep track of the 2000 known terrorists on their list. How they heck do you expect a goverment that is comprised of .001% of the population to be able to monitor everyone else? Thats like 200 million people. By "watching" you they mean there are computers checking to see if you call a known terrorist or something. Its not like there is a panel of people in suits watching your every move on a panel of TVs :roll:

Okay someone explain that game to me. The commercials show disney characters and it shows FinalFantasy 7. Uh, how can they possilbly have those in the same game?!

We are moving towards world peace. No democracy has ever declared war on a democracy. Think about it, if South america, Africa and south east Asia didn't excist we would pretty much have world peace. Europe is completly united, Russia is now quite tranquil (unless it gets attacked) and the US only attacks dictators (and they are becoming a endangered species) ;) In all honesty these wars in the middle east suck but in 50 years with a stable, free, and friendly: Iraq, Afganistan, and maybe Iran. Things will be so much nicer agreed?

In the 9th century you could grow wine and oranges in England. Its a bit colder now days don't you say? Heck even if it gets EXTREMLY warm and the ice caps melt, look at Canada, Greenland, and Siberia. Massive plains of land that would then be able to support human life when places like Florida flood. Heck we might be better off when its warmer.

Yup, telomere shortening happens... well unless your cancer. Cancer cells are immortal in the fact that they reproduce themselves as many times as they want. I wish I was made of pure cancer :cry:

WAYY off topic here, but just saying the CIA doesn't watch what we all do. I mean honestly, they don't even have enough resources to watch the Middle east. There are tens of thousands of hours of recorded conversations from suspected terrorists that have not been analyzed yet due to there simply not being enough people to go through everything. The CIA is actually a really small agency, in no way able to monitor 260 million people, LOL.

There are POHs? News to me :P

I see why they do it, with all the news reports about child molesters they obviously are like "Wow, I wonder if my kid is talking about sex online! :shock: Hmm, s/he is on there all the time after all..." Btw, just want to point out the coolest use of a slash ever: S/he = She/he Get it? I actually read it in a NewsWeek :0

Go for a cheap ($199) camera from a reputable company like Canon, Fuji, Olypus, Kodak, Nikon, etc. Try to stick with camera brands not electronics brands (Sony, Panesonic, etc) You want a minimum of the following -3 megapixels -3x optical zoom (digital zoom means nothing, you can do that on your computer in MS paint if you so want) -A camera brand you've heard of

My dad grew up in Poland and after seeing a report saying "85% of Americans die of heart attacks or cancer" he went on this long argument saying how its stupid that with all the modern medicine Americans are still dying from these diseases that were unheard of back when he was young. He asks me "Jeez, how come no one is dying of old age anymore?!" Uh, anyone else see the humor in that? Later on I was watching the History channel and they said "the German general seemed to have had some sort of skin cancer when he was 71, but surgeons removed the growth and the man lived to the age of 72 before dying of just plain old age." Then today I was reading the topic "Freeze to Death, or Burn to Death?' and I came across this post There it is again! Gah! NEWS FLASH: People don't "die of old age" People die of cancer and liver failure and things like that. Dying of old age just means the person doesn't know why their dying but its really just cancer or something along those lines. Okay people?! Thank you, good luck and good night. Yea, just wanted to get that out there. I don't think many people realize that.

Its immensely annoying when I'm playing a game and someone walks the room that I'm sitting in so I of course hit Alt-Tab and change windows to firefox or something and wait for them to leave and instead they just kinda stand there or talk to me or ask if they can 'quick check an email' which usually takes 15 minutes. Half the time they're like "WhatÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s this" and click on the minimized game which suddenly opens and I'll usually die or something in the 15 seconds it takes for me to get over to them and pause it or minimize it again :x It's just annoying. I like privacy when I'm doing stuff on my computer.

On word: Ninjas. Btw I love how this simple pointless situation somehow began a world wide internet war that still is going on. It is dividing billions of users onto one side or the other of this heated arguement. Gotta love the times. ;)

Lol, I can't believe people are still seriously arguing this, what is this, the early 1600s? Not trying to sound arrogant or anything but being a 2nd year Biology major and having learned copious amounts of evolution and the lives of lesser chordates I can't even begin to understand how someone can seriously doubt the superiority of humans. I mean, as stated before, yes we may not have the best natural flying ability, but can birds live 120 years? Can a bird that has good daytime eyesight see anything at night? No, they can't. If you have 3 organisms, A, B, and C - A has a spectacular liver, but it can't move or see, and is really stupid. - B can breathe on land or in water, but that's because its an amoeba. - C is extraordinarily smart, has a long life span, and unmatched motor skills. (its a human) Logic tells me C is the most advanced due to it having the best overall features. Yes organism A has a far superior liver, and unlike amoebas humans can't breathe underwater, but overall humans are by far the most advanced. Are you going to tell with a strait face and tell me that amoebas are more advanced than humans because they can live in water? :roll: This same concept applies to birds, or whomever else you might say is more advanced than us. Yes they may have a slight edge on us in one area out of a millions, but we have them beat on so many morphological characteristics that I can't even begin to explain, the point is overall we are by far more superior. Actually, heck even if we were only as smart as apes I would still say we are the most advanced. Our brain power is just the icing on the cake in terms of what makes us better then the rest of the animals.

Bmw, I fail to see the reason for that long of a rant. I completly agree with you. Blacks are not equal to whites, and I hate it when people say we're all equal and call me racist for saying otherwise. On a seperate argument I just find it humerous that millions of blacks in the history of the US have protested saying that we are all the same on the inside yet they have their own channel that shows just how differnet they are. Nothing against BET but just saying, I would think their grandparents are rolling in their graves

Ha, thanks. Yea like I sort of mentioned above the only thing that made the secrecy possible was our grade extreme devotion to our class and to "aught five" We did the prank for the prestige of the entire class and we all wanted it to go flawless. In the end it all came down to luck though, I'm sure some us were hairs away from cracking under the interrogations. And yea as for the cops, well I guess thatÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s what you get when you do something in Wisconsin, the state with the 2nd lowest crime in the US. Nothing ever happens here so when something does, the Police get pissed that someone dared to do something in their state and have all the time in the world to focus on it.

Yea, well duh. Where have you been the last 2 years? Mario Kart has no blood in it so it = lame and for kids GTA lets you kill people = AWESOME :D:D:D /sarcasm

I know what you mean but still if there was a White Entertainment Television people would be rioting in the streets. Also the entire concept is stupid and quite detrimental to blacks in general. If blacks are completely equal to whites as they then why isn't BET identical to Comedy Central? Having a station aimed at black people that primarily shows people doing Cocaine is in fact saying that blacks do cocaine and drugs. The station itself furthers the stereotype showing how different whites are and blacks are (and how different their TV stations are)

Yea, I'm really looking foward to the Wii/360 combo that going to be in the dorm room next year : D http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2374 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2373 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2375 EDIT* New spiffy link found: http://poll.pollhost.com/dmxhZGNvbGUJMT ... 9ydGVkCTA/

Yea BET really sucks. I love how they have like no white people. At all. I mean honestly how can blacks complain that shows on ABC and FOX "only have 8% of the casts as blacks" and yet their station is 99.999% black :roll: MTV sucks to though, the "Real World"s are so fake. Acutall all those Laguna beach styly shows are all so fake and scripted that they piss me off that some people think they're real. I mean come one "Real World South Beach?" I spent 3 weeks in South Beach a few monthes ago, was it like the show films it? Ha ha, funny. SouthBeach is full of really old people, retired Jewish jewlers, gay 40 year old guys, and a bunch of lame 35 year old men (think Night At The Rocksbury) who patrol the beeches looking for hot teenagers--there aren't any besides a few tourists with their parents. I'v been in the clubs there too, again they are filled with tourists and more 35 year old aroused guys looking for the girls they see on shows like Real World.

Thanks for the congrats. Acutally nearly all our outdoor sentries and most of the team leaders were guys that were going into the military. We choose them due to their natuaral interest in that sorta thing, the training most of them already recieved, and their loyalty to the mission--we knew none of them would rat us out and we could count on them to lead clearly even in the worst case scenario. But yea, I really get an extra kick out of movies like Ocean's 11 now. I helped plan a few parts of the Op and now whenever I see those movies I'm like "Yea, good plan... altough they should have given that guy a walkie talkie..." ^_^ There were 2 cameras, one on each main entrance. The first team inside wore ski masks and came in through a side entrances, they went into the office and cut the power to them. We found out before hand that lukily the cameras weren't live feed, but rather the kind that records onto a VHS tape for later review, this allowed us to shut the cameras off without alarming the police or whoever would have been watching.

Season four (DVD Volume #3) is out on DVD and season 5 is being shown on TV in the States.

Yea I was pissed as well. Seen that movie several times already :/

Wow must be nice to have teachers go along with everything. If a "liberation army" busted into one of our classes they would just expel everyone and if there was a hint of resistance from the students they would call the police. :/ Our class did a prank last year. Seniors graduate 4 days before school ends for the rest of the school so we did it graduation night (so they couldn't hold our diplomas or whatever). Reason We had to do a prank last year because of our school's history of no pranks. 6 years ago they spay painted "Senors 2000" (yes spelt wrong) into the football field with white paint. Then in '03 someone crapped outside the front doors at night and left a post it saying "Were out of this (crap) hole!!" Janitors cleaned up the mess at 6am and fined the class $200. And that was our school's entire history of senior pranks :roll: Preparations Then out class comes along, we were quite 'patriotic' or whatever you would call it, our class was fiercely proud of "aught five". It all started when the student council president propped a door open one evening and gave a schedule of when the janitors leave/arrive to another aught fiver that could pick locks. He went in that night, picked into the office and stole a a master key, took it back to his garage, made a professional mould of it, then went back and returned it that same night. Later the mould was used to make a dozen or so masters and for months a huge prank was being planned in a level a secrecy that would make the CIA jealous. In the end 48 people were hand picked for the job (our class was only 120 people) and no one outside of that group had the slightest clue anything was going on. The Night Graduation night 4 black vans drove up and dropped of 32 people at the school at 1am, they split into 4 groups each with a clear objective and a leader who had a walkie talkie. The vans also split and went to nearby parking lots waiting for the pickup signal. In addition to the infiltration teams there were 7 people in full camo with night vision goggles and cell phones lying in ditches in strategic points on nearby roads ready to warn of approaching cops that were headed towards the school, and then we had 4 cars driving in random patterns also on lookout with phones. Finally there was a command van with 3 laptops displaying detailed maps of the school and satellite pictures of the town. On the town map/photos we plotted the up to date locations (via GPS) of all our sentries and reconnaissance cars. Then we had a bay of communication gear, including police scanners, half a dozen walkie talkies, and a cell phone labeled for each recon unit (the sentries may not be able to risk speaking out loud so they had the opportunity to just hit ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅsendÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ
