Totally agree with this. I used to play a game by SOE (Sony Online Entertainment) called PlanetSide. Good game and everything but Sony managed to mess it up further down the road. I'd go with WoW. It got good reviews and Blizzard > Sony.

:P Yeah, I'll agree with that. It definitely is one of the hardest schools to get into.

I don't deny that West Point is hard to get into. It certainly is. But while they look at those that have high GPAs as well as being athletically gifted, the ridiculously high GPAs like 4.8s tend to go to Ivy Leagues. In a Newsweek special "Hottest College" Edition (heehee, I have that cuz I'm a Senior playing the college game) it says that Juilliard School was the most exclusive last year with a meer 7.5% acceptance rate followed by Yale at 9.9% and Harvard at 10.7%. And in the same Newsweek, it says that "The US Military Academy, in West Point, NY, ... since its cadets are more likely than the other academies' grads to go to Iraq." So our best and brightest are going to Iraq to get killed for particular good reason.

4 years of FREE education from a school more selective than any other Ivy League school and will give you a guaranteed (and high paying) job for 5 years straight out of college. What a sweet mom. (but i'm assuming it wasn't an acceptance letter) Any facts to support that? I have a hard time imagining West Point being more selective than Harvard, Yale or Stanford. Sure it may be a guaranteed job for 5 years but how many other jobs out there put you in harms way day after day? You know that as soon as you graduate from the academy you'll be sent off to Iraq or Afghanistan. And yes, we will probably still be there after this incoming Freshmen class graduates.

CS = Counter Strike, a very popular, yet out dated online shooter.... by the way, this belongs in off topic, so this will probably get moved. :? IT IS NOT OUTDATED!! :evil: The very fact that version 1.6 is still around after such a long time proves that it is a classic. It's like Starcraft and Diablo. Sure the graphics aren't all spiffy like RS2 but if that's all you care about...

In the last world cup France didn't even score a goal and didn't make it through the group stages!!! :P Although I don't think that will happen this year. Yeah, definitely. Henry has got to score at least one... Although I think France will win, I am excited to watch England and of course see how far America gets in this World Cup. Maybe we can make it into the quarter finals? :shock:

I know what you mean, man. My best friend died in a car accident last September. He was only 17. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Yeah I don't see why the kid couldn't be leaning out the right side of the bus, spitting on cars that are parked on the right side and getting hit by a tree that's hanging on the ride side of the bus... Who cares if this is a true story, the point is to not be an idiot and keep your appendages in the vehicle lest you lose them.

lol... Don't we all?

I'm actually putting my money on France to win it again. Simply because they have something to prove. If they win this one, no one can say that their win in the last World Cup was a fluke.

Where'd you get in?

heehee, UC Davis rejected me. :evil: But ironically UC San Diego (which apparently is more selective) took me.

rofl my waffle, that was funny! :lol: As to the whole watermelon vs pineapple, when I read the watermelon, for some reason I pictured the last guy pushing a wheelbarrow full of watermelons. hehe >_<

First off, how can you begin to believe that illegal immigration doesn't hurt the economy? Second, sure they can provide for THEIR families, but in turn hurt the families of the citizens that they're taking jobs from.

I can't believe UConn lost... :evil: But good for George Mason, my older brother graduated from there as an undergrad. I guess since, like a lot of people, my brackets have gone to cabbage, I'll be cheering for LSU or GMU.

I'm saying it in my head: go-go-goosh lol, I'm pretty sure that's NOT how you say it but makes me laugh nonetheless.

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogogoch! ...wow :shock: I first thought this was spam, then I saw a few patterns but when I saw the 4 "l"s near the end of the word I went back to my first opinion of nothing but spam. heehee, I had no idea this was a word. The 'gogogoch' makes me chuckle. :D

I don't dispute that America has a democracy. I think that our democracy is one that has a few flaws in it. The biggest one being the fact that people can choose not to have a voice in their government but later complain that our government sucks. People need to vote, that's the whole basis of democracy. When people don't exercise that right, democracy begins to fail. Yes, democracy is about freedoms, but it also comes with great responsibilities. If a good majority of the people, even more than the approximate 70% that currently don't vote, decided not to vote, our democracy would collapse.

Actually, that lesson is the only reason I posted this :| This still won't stop me doing stupid things like that. Poor kid :( Really? Hmmm. I bet that kid said the same thing, now his head is facing the other way...

Well, I'd say that America's form of democracy is a little off. The main point of democracy is that everyone has a voice in government. America's voter turn out rate is ridiculously low especially compared to other countries. I'd say that about 30% of the American population actually votes in major elections and even less than that percentage in smaller elections that decide Senators, Congressmen, etc. How can this be called a true democracy? I think in order to truly be considered a democracy, a much higher percentage needs to come out and voice their opinion. I really like what countries like Australia have done where they punish citizens that don't vote. This way no one can complain about the current administration.

They have rules about keeping all your appendages inside the bus for a reason... :roll:

:lol: That whole door opening incident was hilarious. Bush was in China and after a little bit of shaking hands and picture taking, he tried to make an exit only to find the door was locked. He seriously spent 2-3 minutes trying to open it while on live television. Effectively he was trapped. It was so symbolic of the whole situation he finds himself in as President. And to think he's representing the entire United States of America and the free world. :oops:

University of California at San Diego, majoring in International Relations and minoring in Political Science and Business. Gratz on your acceptance :D

Yeah I don't really see how the suggestion to exercise once a week was related to the Dutch boy who committed suicide. I don't think that kid needed exercise as much as a counselor/psychiatrist. Anyway, I do think that people that play this game do need to realize that there is more to life than just leveling your character on RuneScape. Everything in moderation, people... :roll:

Could not agree more...
