I suggest seeing the Vatican, even if your Atheist. You don't have to be a theist to appreciate architecture and culture. Exactly, I was in complete awe when I went there. Sistine chapel

Sorry, edited in my grade (11) :oops: That's private school for yah I guess :wall: :-s Grade 11? Always thought you were much older then me, lol. And ya, private school would add on a lot. Dunno how you guys do it, 4 courses is brutal enough (5 with rep)

I suggest seeing the Vatican, even if your Atheist.

:? Some of you might want to explain what grade or lve you are at for a few reasons. 1. Your schedules are some what overwhelming to a high school student like me (Tripsis, you have 7 classes in a semester :shock: ?) 2. I find other countries schooling slightly complicated in that their grade lves are different (Most US schools have these weird names, like sophomore and junior for their grades). 3. For the sake of discussion. Also, is it just me or does almost everyone here have some kinda computer class :-k

Righto, so to lift the mood (or set it in depending on your view on school), lets all share our school schedules for this year (I know some have started already but most still haven't). Going first here is my schedule: First semester -Math-university -Programing Grade 11 -Spare (Like a free period, I can do as i please, and go home earlier on even days) -English-university Second semester -Music(instrumental) -Spare -Programing grade 12 -Calculus I also have a class that runs all year in the mornings before school three times a week called Repertoire. It is basically the school band but we still have to take it as a class (hey, free credits!) I am in grade 12, and this is my final year basically. I will graduate at the end and am free to chose what I want, although I will probably return for a 5th year of high school to take some science courses to round myself off so I can chose either computers or science as my field of study. Discussion? Schedules?

Yeah, that's a grown up game Lol grade 1-5 :P kids are imaginative.

Lol, they banned kids from having an imagination? Pretty much. The reason was, the teachers didn't want to deal with it. Heck, the school recruited half the grade 5's to become peer mediators so that we had kids doing all the mediating work. That was sure fun :roll: Oh and any kind of trading cards were banned. Not because of getting stolen, no that wasn't the reason, the reason was because kids where "getting ripped off" and crying about it to the teachers...

In grade 5, my school at the time decided to ban: Tag, football, soccer, catch, and role playing games where the girls would pretend to be ponies or the boys would pretend to be some kinda character. Yup.

^ epic Paperclips. Ummm I guess I want to go back and see most of Europe. I want to definitely go back to France and explore a lot more. Aussie land is another place I would love to go.

Final fantasy VI(SNES) Final Fantasy X(PS2) Kingdom hearts II(PS2) Bioshock(PC/Xbox360) Final Fantasy I(NES) Edit: Took off Halo 2. Forgot the first FF was godly and revolutionized all of RPG's. It gets a spot.

:uhh: You just have to kinda memorize after awhile the whole area, basically what I do. The FF games (1-9) comprised of your character running on an outer world, and only go into a town or dungeon when ever you step on one. Personally, I prefer 10 and 12 because they allow you to experience everything first hand, not just have a small character walking around till they hit a town. Also im surprised Nadril, How hard is the battle system for you? How far are you?

Ya, come on over. We got plenty of room, plus snow and beavers. Umm you have to go up north though, no more room along the border.

Was playing GH2 all night cause my friend brought over his 360. Still working through bioshock.

*screams like an adoring fan, wishing for Suzi and Matt's autographs*

He mentions the ban is in breaks. Why would be learning in a break? Then we go to reason one, what Shadowfax said.

That and because as much as teenagers think it helps, the music actually distracts your brain from working at full compacity, therefore it is not as good for learning.

:evil: I soooo wish I could get a chance to do something like that. I dunno if I can get into what I want for biology due to math marks, so it looks like im falling back on computers. Dunno what I can study that no on else has in the field of computers, but i hope to try. Good luck on your task, as that is amazing.

[hide] Yesterday morning before school started, I was standing outside with my binder held across my chest with both arms. Two girls walked by and one was crying and the other one was trying to comfort her. I saw that and started to cry. I'm super-emotional. lol. I saw the ending of Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and cried. I saw the part in Order of the Phoenix when Sirius died, and I cried. I read parts of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and cried. I cried after watching AMVs of End of Evangelion, etc. [/hide] I order you now to go watch 300. You will receive so much testosterone from that movie, you will grow a beard in seconds!

\ Thats a smooth tune Suzi, me likes! I think Tip.it's starting to bust a tune!

Question! Ok something about my application has changed. I don't mind posting it here, but I was wondering if the changes could possibly better my chances. I don't want to bug anyone though so if any mods/admins see this and are wondering my change, just post back saying I can put the changes in here.

I think the punishment is something handed out because your mom just couldn't be bothered before, so it makes her feel good that "she is getting even" (if that makes sense). In another way, ya sarcasm isn't a really good way to go with parents. I have a question though. I have seen topics like this from you before, and heard about how your parents are pretty extreme at times. What I am wondering is your age. Because I think that if you are old enough and have a job, you might be able to stop these things by trying to find a way out. Go out and find a cheep apartment to live in. What ever you need to do to get away, try it. If you really want to stop this kind of BS from your parents, you can leave, get emancipated.

Exactly, and as much as people say religion brings people together. I tears people apart, just like this. Not just because of religion being there, but because there are some who believe and some who dont, thus we get the division. We should push for another religion topic ban. Lets be one big happy family again guys.

Ok, I'm not gonna read all these pages cause it will just piss me off. But This is something i found years ago. I refuse to explain what it tries to say, but basically, It explains religion: This morning there was a knock at my door. When I answered the door I found a well groomed, nicely dressed couple. The man spoke first: John: "Hi! I'm John, and this is Mary." Mary: "Hi! We're here to invite you to come kiss Hank's [wagon] with us." Me: "Pardon me?! What are you talking about? Who's Hank, and why would I want to kiss His [wagon]?" John: "If you kiss Hank's [wagon], He'll give you a million dollars; and if you don't, He'll kick the [cabbage] out of you." Me: "What? Is this some sort of bizarre mob shake-down?" John: "Hank is a billionaire philanthropist. Hank built this town. Hank owns this town. He can do whatever He wants, and what He wants is to give you a million dollars, but He can't until you kiss His [wagon]." Me: "That doesn't make any sense. Why..." Mary: "Who are you to question Hank's gift? Don't you want a million dollars? Isn't it worth a little kiss on the [wagon]?" Me: "Well maybe, if it's legit, but..." John: "Then come kiss Hank's [wagon] with us." Me: "Do you kiss Hank's [wagon] often?" Mary: "Oh yes, all the time..." Me: "And has He given you a million dollars?" John: "Well no. You don't actually get the money until you leave town." Me: "So why don't you just leave town now?" Mary: "You can't leave until Hank tells you to, or you don't get the money, and He kicks the [cabbage] out of you." Me: "Do you know anyone who kissed Hank's [wagon], left town, and got the million dollars?" John: "My mother kissed Hank's [wagon] for years. She left town last year, and I'm sure she got the money." Me: "Haven't you talked to her since then?" John: "Of course not, Hank doesn't allow it." Me: "So what makes you think He'll actually give you the money if you've never talked to anyone who got the money?" Mary: "Well, He gives you a little bit before you leave. Maybe you'll get a raise, maybe you'll win a small lotto, maybe you'll just find a twenty-dollar bill on the street." Me: "What's that got to do with Hank?" John: "Hank has certain 'connections.'" Me: "I'm sorry, but this sounds like some sort of bizarre con game." John: "But it's a million dollars, can you really take the chance? And remember, if you don't kiss Hank's [wagon] He'll kick the [cabbage] of you." Me: "Maybe if I could see Hank, talk to Him, get the details straight from Him..." Mary: "No one sees Hank, no one talks to Hank." Me: "Then how do you kiss His [wagon]?" John: "Sometimes we just blow Him a kiss, and think of His [wagon]. Other times we kiss Karl's [wagon], and he passes it on." Me: "Who's Karl?" Mary: "A friend of ours. He's the one who taught us all about kissing Hank's [wagon]. All we had to do was take him out to dinner a few times." Me: "And you just took his word for it when he said there was a Hank, that Hank wanted you to kiss His [wagon], and that Hank would reward you?" John: "Oh no! Karl has a letter he got from Hank years ago explaining the whole thing. Here's a copy; see for yourself." ** From the desk of Karl ** Kiss Hank's [wagon] and He'll give you a million dollars when you leave town. Use alcohol in moderation. Kick the [cabbage] out of people who aren't like you. Eat right. Hank dictated this list Himself. The moon is made of green cheese. Everything Hank says is right. Wash your hands after going to the bathroom. Don't use alcohol. Eat your wieners on buns, no condiments. Kiss Hank's [wagon] or He'll kick the [cabbage] out of you. Me: "This appears to be written on Karl's letterhead." Mary: "Hank didn't have any paper." Me: "I have a hunch that if we checked we'd find this is Karl's handwriting." John: "Of course, Hank dictated it." Me: "I thought you said no one gets to see Hank?" Mary: "Not now, but years ago He would talk to some people." Me: "I thought you said He was a philanthropist. What sort of philanthropist kicks the [cabbage] out of people just because they're different?" Mary: "It's what Hank wants, and Hank's always right." Me: "How do you figure that?" Mary: "Item 7 says 'Everything Hank says is right.' That's good enough for me!" Me: "Maybe your friend Karl just made the whole thing up." John: "No way! Item 5 says 'Hank dictated this list himself.' Besides, item 2 says 'Use alcohol in moderation,' Item 4 says 'Eat right,' and item 8 says 'Wash your hands after going to the bathroom.' Everyone knows those things are right, so the rest must be true, too." Me: "But 9 says 'Don't use alcohol.' which doesn't quite go with item 2, and 6 says 'The moon is made of green cheese,' which is just plain wrong." John: "There's no contradiction between 9 and 2, 9 just clarifies 2. As far as 6 goes, you've never been to the moon, so you can't say for sure." Me: "Scientists have pretty firmly established that the moon is made of rock..." Mary: "But they don't know if the rock came from the Earth, or from out of space, so it could just as easily be green cheese." Me: "I'm not really an expert, but I think the theory that the Moon was somehow 'captured' by the Earth has been discounted*. Besides, not knowing where the rock came from doesn't make it cheese." John: "Ha! You just admitted that scientists make mistakes, but we know Hank is always right!" Me: "We do?" Mary: "Of course we do, Item 7 says so." Me: "You're saying Hank's always right because the list says so, the list is right because Hank dictated it, and we know that Hank dictated it because the list says so. That's circular logic, no different than saying 'Hank's right because He says He's right.'" John: "Now you're getting it! It's so rewarding to see someone come around to Hank's way of thinking." Me: "But...oh, never mind. What's the deal with wieners?" Mary: She blushes. John: "Wieners, in buns, no condiments. It's Hank's way. Anything else is wrong." Me: "What if I don't have a bun?" John: "No bun, no wiener. A wiener without a bun is wrong." Me: "No relish? No Mustard?" Mary: She looks positively stricken. John: He's shouting. "There's no need for such language! Condiments of any kind are wrong!" Me: "So a big pile of sauerkraut with some wieners chopped up in it would be out of the question?" Mary: Sticks her fingers in her ears. "I am not listening to this. La la la, la la, la la la." John: "That's disgusting. Only some sort of evil deviant would eat that..." Me: "It's good! I eat it all the time." Mary: She faints. John: He catches Mary. "Well, if I'd known you were one of those I wouldn't have wasted my time. When Hank kicks the [cabbage] out of you I'll be there, counting my money and laughing. I'll kiss Hank's [wagon] for you, you bunless cut-wienered kraut-eater." With this, John dragged Mary to their waiting car, and sped off. From http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/text/hank

Microwaves react with watter. So put anything in there, and it basically tickles the water particals into jumping around, and the frictions is what makes your food hot. Put metal in there... and I'm not sure what happens, but you will get bad stuff.

Ya.... putting anything metallic in your microwave is such a good idea guys. It potentially can set on fire or explode. Good luck.
