I went Ice Skating, which is pretty awesome considering it was my first time. :thumbsup:

You can always use a safety razor; those are much easier to clean with water or a tissue.

Black tea is great, with some milk and sugar. I just love having a mug for breakfast.

The main reason we are so sceptic with Funny Pictures threads nowadays is because they've been abused a lot in the past, several times, despite some of the mods insisting on giving it yet another chance. Don't you think a forum like the one you're proposing would get even more abused?

To me, Thanksgiving is a great chance to celebrate with American family and friends and eat their delicious food, pretty much.

Edit: I need someone to crop out the below picture. I'm gonna make a motivational poster and my dad deleted photoshop. Apparently I suck I everything that is MS Paint. Someone please help me out.
I only want the puppy in the picture. Cut out all the green and all the walls. If you have photoshop and you don't know what to do, use the magic wand tool, turn anti-alias off, click "add selection" and just keep clicking the green regions until everything but the puppy is selected; do the same for everything else. Or you could use the magic wand and click only on the puppy and make it so only the puppy is selected. Then click Control+Shift+i and click delete.
Someone please help a brotha out. It's for a scholarship. Don't ask.
There's no way you might possibly need a motivational for a scholarship. But anyway, here's a link to Gimp's site, a free Image Manipulator, akin to Photoshop.

I did a Front tuck, Back tuck, Aerial, Kip-up, Flash Kick, X-Out, and 540-kick. Also an okay Armada Dupla.
I've also almost mastered the Butterfly Twist.
I conquered my fear and tried to do a backflip. Landed wrong, but who knows about next time.
That's ballsy. It's harder for girls to back tuck because woman have more mass away from their center of gravity.
Why don't you make a video? Really, I don't know what half those things are and it sounds awesome.
-
Apparently I use too many emoticons :P
Edit:
I swear, I didn't do that on purpose >.> <---Nor was that, but now you've got me all... uh... whatever that word is when you think about what you're doing :/
Self conscious. And that sucks.

Then I guess we agree on almost everything. :thumbup: Repression is often unhealthy while control is necessary to a certain extent. I just don't see the need to wholly repress gay feelings, especially if the arguments for that seem baseless.
And there's no need no equate homosexuality with homosexual sex. There's more to it, just as in other relationships.
-
So what you are saying is controlling urges is unhealthy? And that just because we have urges, we have something we "want" we should act upon it? If everyone did that society would be nonexistent.
You make it sound as if gay men went around frolicking any time it was possible. [lol] Maybe "controlling urges" was a wrong choice of words. "Repressing feelings" fits better to what I'm saying. It's unhealthy to deceive yourself and live a lie just because of social pressure or religious guilt. -And that's not the same as saying people should always act on every whim that they had.- Me liking men better than women won't destruct society.
And I'd say you have it easy being called a "conservative idiot" in the internet :razz: . In Catholic Latin America, it's hard enough to be a socialist, never mind an agnostic or a homosexual.
-
Being gay isn't a choice(or at least I don't think it is, I can't tell since I'm not) Acting on it is, 100%.
...
I'm friends with several gay people. I talk to them fairly frequently. The point I'm trying to make here is that many people (on this thread or elsewhere) paint a picture like "I'm gay, I have to act upon it). You don't have to. I realize it's hard, incredibly hard, but straight people do it (Example: priests, nuns, etc.) and some nonreligious people for personal reasons. We aren't animals - we have a choice with every action we make regardless of our orientation.
Yes, it's true. It's possible to hide your feelings and block your thoughts, and even make a life whilst rejecting that. Gay people have already became celibate and some have even forced themselves to live a heteronormative life. But that's just unhealthy and there are no good reasons people should do that, instead of heeding their emotional and physical urges.
-
I was that kind of guy everyone liked but nobody was friends with. Seeing others as equals was a great step for me. I'll always be shy, but I realized I don't need to be misanthropic. Forcing oneself to socialise a bit works too.
I keep torturing myself over little, stupid things I did in the past, even when no one but remembers about it.
And I'm gay too.

A couple of hyperinflated 1, 2, and 4 million mark post stamps from the German Reich. And a couple of coins from the Weimar Republic.

And I'll return the metaphor to you. As George Shaw said: "The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality."
It's truly comforting to believe in an afterlife, but comfort alone doesn't justify a belief.
-
Meh. I just hate when people jump into conclusions and make broad generalizations. There are people that are changed by what they read in the forums. The fact you are so stubborn you just won't change your views doesn't mean nobody else will do it (and I'm not trying to direct this to any specific person). There are people out there who are actually interested in debating the existence of a god, and are legitimately curious about it
But two sides calling each other close-minded bigots and gloating on their self-righteousness isn't a debate.
-
Just finished Portal. :thumbup: A fine game.
-
That was a bad mistake there from me, sorry. Now I see what you meant.
But I do like it better like this.
-
Bah. Too much spam and unnecessary flaming in this thread, like mrshinyredplanet said. Take this as a last warning.
Good. So we're over that now.

Please tell me if I'm right: Under this law, if someone is able to, but doesn't have any health insurance, gets an additional tax of no more than the average premium for healthcare coverage. Then, if this person evades those taxes, he might be fined with no more than $25,000, as per the current law. Am I right?
-
Isn't this what you're looking for?
-
Meh. It seems I'll have to make a clean install anyway, because the versions are different.
How can I check the true amount of memory that I have? I get 3 and 4 GB from different places. :blink:

I don't care if you believe what I say. Your a bunch of [wagon] kids. And I know I am too, but I'm the one admitting that I might not be correct. You're all 100% sure about what you're saying although it's theory. And I'll say it one more time so you might get it through your heads I know the Bible is weird, and I know that no one on this site has actually opened it before although I know you all will say you have. I never really cared about it until I read Revelations. The world is falling apart and that's something I hope we can all agree on, and it predicts everything that is happening now.I don't believe in coincidences. I started believing in God again when I had a near death experience. I thought I had a horrible life, and I didn't. Not even close. And I felt like that was a major wake-up call that I deserved. And of course I know none of you have had a religious experience with Evolution and that's the best part about what Creationism has to offer. Having something to turn to or to believe in, whether it's there or not I find comfort and security in it. And that's another thing that Evolution doesn't have to offer. I feel the same way leaving this thread that I did coming into. Actually after talking to you people I think that you just re-enforced my belief.
As much as it might seem that way, I'm just trying to clear up many misunderstandings you have (if you areso adamant against science, it should at least be well justified), not trying to convince you to abandon your religion. I wouldn't even say I'm an atheist myself, for the matter. Trying to falsify all the human effort that's gone to science with religion isn't cool, but following a religion because it gives you hope and comfort is OK. I sometimes wished I could have that much faith so I wouldn't have all these many questions right now, but I just can't force myself to accept religion like you do. You could say God made me an Agnostic.
But I'm getting way off topic now. Anyway, evolution and religion don't have to be exclusive, because they serve different purposes. Believing in a God doesn't mean you have to believe in a literal interpretation of the Genesis either.
[Edit] Meh. It was much better when you could see what people posted while you were writing your post. Now I'm just repeating what everyone above me said.
Also, sorry if I'm getting too verbose. I'm sleepy and had some coffee.

Now Jes, there's no need to call anyone an idiot, please cut that out.
The reason some people might not blindly believe in the Bible is because it makes extraordinary, untestable claims, ranging from amazing miracles to the creation of the universe, while there are more feasible alternatives provided by science.
Not to say it's horribly biased. I'd be more eager to believe a biography of Stalin made by a current historian than an official Soviet biography. The same applies to the Bible. Sure, it might contain many historical facts, but that doesn't mean all its statements are correct or that it has the same validity of a history book.
Done anything awsome lately?

I found falling on your bare hands is worse than falling on your rear. Other than that, I really just fell a couple of times. But it was my ego that hurt the worse as I stumbled into a lady at top speed. Good times. :thumbsup:
