  1. I know some people are probably going to flame me to hell for saying this...but.... wikipedia is more useful than people give it credit for...use it Anyway, those questions seem to imply that you need to develop some sort of understanding of the time periods. You'd also be surprised how helpful google can be... I wish I could help you more, but history's not my thing. Oh, and btw, the AP test is pretty difficult at your age. I think that I got a 3 (out of 5) on the AP us history test, and I'm a pretty smart guy. Then again I didn't study....heh.... I sort of regret not studying to get a 4 and earn some college credit back then.
  2. I fail to comprehend the reasoning for disallowing a second stack of gp... But that would be too easy, wouldn't it? Or maybe I just didn't read the rest of this thread. Oh well.
  3. If you want to GET IN to any old college, then no, you don't need extra cirrics. If you want to get in to a decent college with any sort of reputation at all, then I'd suggest you do a few activities after school. If you want to get into a sub-ivy-league but still good school, do several things outside of school, AND do them WELL. Sport recommended since they involve a bit of time and are looked upon favorably. (Obviously more than activities matters once you're here, but I'm just writing concerning this one subject) Ivy-League = leadership in a few extra cirrics, do a sport at least, and belong to several different clubs around school. I'm by no means a professional, but from what I've seen, that's what I'd suggest.
  4. You...first of all, get a grip. Calm down. I will admit that 5 months is a long time...but you're young anyway. To be honest it's not a huge deal. I made out when I was 8 or 9 lol. Dont die on me. :( Now I have to join the bandwagon and say that IS too young lol...I hardly knew what making out was at 8/9 years old.
  5. Magic is simply a synonym for anyone's god or religion. It's all a complete mystery to which, up to this point, has never been shown to truly exist. I won't even start. I'll walk away. Oh it's hard. Oh boy. I'm walking...away....far....away... Anyway....the thing that I cannot understand is why must people attribute something of special beauty/magnificence/awe to some bigger-than-life source? Can't you just see that maybe, just maybe, something so amazing as that object can be created or exist without any of those miracles, magic, or w/e it may be?
  6. 14 year old chicks might dig it...for some reason girls around that age don't like hair at all. But once you get a little older, they won't appreciate you shaving your legs. Most of them, anyway.
  7. Shaving your arm pits is for pansies and pretty boys. A real man should be nearly indistinguishable from fuzzy carpet. ;)
  8. "Tax cuts for the rich means that they have more money to spend which stimulates the economy resulting in more of the smaller taxes. " Quoted from the guy above me. While that's a nice idea in general, there is actually MORE money stagnated in the bank account of a rich person. If you distributed some of that money out amongst lower or middle class people, the money would exchange hands much more rapidly. All I can say is that I hope the democrats win the next election.
  9. About 12 years old... It's funny actually, it was a bit more than my first kiss. We made out. It was interesting at the time....not to mention the girl was a year and a grade higher than me. I've always attracted older women...wherever I go... EDIT: I'd also like to point out that it's weird to make out when you've never even kissed anyone before. Sorta had to learn as I went, lol.
  10. Interesting little thing here....you know, you could have asked a lot more questions. :) But anyway...I just got back after a week and a half of no internet (big storm), so I feel like posting! Real Money: Approx 2-3 years of membership....I think Time: 3 hours per week during school, otherwise about 3-4 hours per day when not in school (summer) RS Money: Uh....over 250 mil? Somewhere around there. It's not all in cash, but it's there.
  11. I would hardly say that... I would MUCH rather have two ancient mages owning away rather than just one mage attacking while one largely stands around.
  12. Only bad thing is.... So far astrals seem to be down to 250 per...if a company started for them, there would be no demand, and thus no runners would come because they woudln't make much money at all compared to running laws. That's speculation, but just a thought.
  13. It hardly matters, though...the new altar is so close to the bank that it's almost exactly the same length as using the abyss... I *think* you can teleport back to the bank on moonclan island with the new spell list... So it should essentially be pretty quick/easy runecrafting.
  14. there is no "first place". there is no start, it goes back infinitely. And that's why I think the whole creation discussion is futile. We can't trace it, so it must be infinity. It's inexplicable and pointless to worry and talk about it. And Bubsa hits the nail on the head. It's too bad no one understood the post I made earlier...because I essentially made a similar point. :\
  15. Doh! Sorry, forgot the rules of that. Here's the REAL way to do it lol.
  16. 80 Construction cost me 16 mil to get using Oak, and my house cost about as much to build on top of that.
  17. Life has no inherent meaning save for what meaning you give it. The notion of the existence of anything (including you) after death is completely hypothetical, and for the most part completely unfounded. Religion itself takes for granted the existence of anything beyond what is apparently physical, yet as we have seen, the human mind is quite capable of creating what is clearly not real in the physical world; and therefore one can see that the creation of religion was not only possible but quite unavoidable in due time. If you have trouble grappling with this, then perhaps another alternate route would be a more preferable option. Any supreme being would most likely be bathing in his own mysery, contemplating the meaning of its own existence whilst simultaneously neglecting that which previously gave it purpose...that being, presumably, humans, or perhaps even the universe. To give a concrete example, imagine playing a video game in sandbox mode. You create and create until eventually you stop creating, and you quit, because you realize that there exists no further purpose in creating. For what end is that creation? Answer that question, and you may be wiser than any god of man. Therefore, since it is established that there is nothing certain after death, it must be declared irrelevant, for any theory would be equally valid. Taking this fact into mind, we may progress. This is where personal opinion must come into play, for there is nothing except personal preference that remains. I, for one, have adopted meaning enough in learning about everything that I may, and enjoying my life on this earth. Life should be an adventure. Although I have, at times, found myself adopting a nihilistic viewpoint, I suppose that I still find life enjoyable enough to live it as well as I can. In sum, I would not fear nor rejoice in any "knowledge" of an afterlife. However, I do hold in esteem the idea put forward by Socrates shortly before his death. That is, death is merely sleep. Not so bad now, is it?
  18. *DOH double post* Yes, "t k s" was the leader for quite a while...then there was a time period where a bunch of different people kept taking over number one position, and then finally Zezima took over and has been king since then. If I remember right, t k s had a skill total of around 1500 something when he stopped playing.
  19. http://www.anzwers.org/free/jagex/ http://rsl.ma.cx/ Somewhat random, but plenty of pictures of earlier runescape.
  20. That's why I've at least TRIED doing everything. I've sort of settled down as a combat trainer, skiller, and quester, just because those are my favorite things. However, since I've tried the other ways of playing rs, I can appreciate them and respect them.
  21. Go to "general guides" on the front page, then click new members guide. tip.it should REALLY put that guide in an easier-to-access place, because a lot of people will miss it there.
  22. And by the way, winrar is (arguably) the best compression tool that exists. It's also very common... standard format in the underground ;)
  23. whats his brothers name? Don't remember...I met him long time ago...years. He told me but I wouldn't remember even if you gave me a list of names.
  24. Gargoyes - Shilo - Gargoyles are winged creatures of stone. You'll need to fight them to near death before breaking them apart with a rock hammer. And btw, I second the Axe Man's statement:
