Meteorite! Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
I've not heard of this theory about a meteor crushing the Earth some day. The "End of the World" theory I've lived by is the end of the Sun. So call me a [bleep] for wanting my house fixed rather than letting some scientists look at a meteorite that damaged my house. If they want it bad enough, they can go buy it back. Lol that's true. Scientists probably get billions in funds for researching anyways, if the people want a few thousand dollar to fix the roof, I think they can let it slip by.

What happens when you die?
Just assuming you're talking to the most recent post/s.

What happens when you die?
I jjust said it is possible evolution brought us here, spirit says it's impossible, and warrior says it's sensible. Not sure what you're refering to.

I hate Global Warming!
[Not sarcastic] I hate to be liberal, but in theory, he is the one with his idea 'Global warming is just a theory'... Although, China is also to blame for their huge economic growth, and mass Co2 emits... I did an extensive report on Global Warming for school, and China and America together are responsible to nearly 33% of all global warming... They're also in denial of the problem as much as eachother... Luckily, the Uk and EU have finally woken up to the problems we will face due to your pollution, but without the support of China and America, its to little to late... [Not sarcastic/] So China and the United States together are responsible for the average temperature rising less than 1 degree Farenhiet ever 100 years You mean a third of that less than 1 degree F.

What happens when you die?
First, yes it is possible evolution brought us here. Think about a huge city. It's very complex, but not all of it was done at once. It starts with a basic plan then expands to what we see today. Second, you're assuming there's a soul, but you can't prove it.

What would you do? Hypothetical scenario
You mean die out. They will die, they just have to reproduce so you'll have a never-ending supply.

Don't clean your ear with cotton buds: here's why
Yes this is your fault. Take responsibility for your actions and stop blaming someone else, anything else. Good idea to completely avoid that accident. This should be pretty basic, just like don't run while you're carrying scissors or a knife. Of course if you run and stab yourself in the heart somehow, then you should've listened.

How do you get a job?
True. That's not true at all.. Have you seen the hours that kids under 16 are allowed to work? From what I remember(during the school year) Can't work more than 3 hours on a weekday, can't work past 8, can't work more than 15ish hours a week, can't work more than 8 hours on a saturday/sunday(not combined). Most retail places hire HSers so they can help close the store at 9-10pm while starting at 3:30-5:30(varies store to store, but from I've gathered, those are the normal times) I think it's 4 hrs a day, 20 hrs per week.

What would you do? Hypothetical scenario
Titanium alloys allow a major increase in depth, but other systems need to be redesigned to cope, so test depth was limited to 1000 meters for K-278 Komsomolets, the deepest-diving military submarine. An Alfa class submarine may have successfully operated at 1300 meters,[3] though continuous operation at such depths would be an excessive stress for many submarine systems. Despite its benefits, the high cost of titanium construction led to the abandonment of titanium submarine construction as the Cold War ended. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarines Seems like the deepest a submarine can go is 1300 meters, which is 1.3 km, which is barely a mile. Also, I'm talking about regular earthquakes not super ones. Cracks in the crust. Anyways there are too many complications, transport of materials, people killing each other to be able to live in the few underwater cities, material shortage, etc. Hahaha, a link? On the internet? Divulging the secrets of Atlantean technology? That's hilarious. If you want to study such things, you have to go straight to the ancient underground library they left in the Yucatan. Of course, the exact location is classified, available only to those of Atlantean descent, such as myself. I could tell you all about the library, it's exact location, and the information housed in it, but then I'd have to kill you. Which means you have come up with no answer, and when the time comes you'll have to fight tooth and claw to save your city from people trying to come aboard it, with few people you can trust. Too many complications, unless you have some kind of defense device that incinerates anyone that comes close. Anyways you're just putting something fictional in this.

What would you do? Hypothetical scenario
Very big problem here. This city won't survive for even 3 years, unless there's some super strong material I havn't heard of. Yes it will, because yes there is. You obviously know nothing of Atlantean technology. What material is it? I don't know anything about Atlantean technology, why don't you give me a link? ...I hope you're kidding. This isn't a short duration storm. This is 15 years, if you want to die I'm not stopping you lol. ...Again...15 years? Best thing is to find a suitable food source you can grow.

What would you do? Hypothetical scenario
We need a whole bunch 'Suzi Angel is your Baby' shirts too. :P ...I can see you are being very productive with your limited resources . Unfortunately all the elite underground storm bunkers are owned by people of high power. Thinking literally, what would you do for oxygen? And food for that matter. We'd use machines that harvest oxygen from the water, of course. How do you think the Atlanteans have survived for thousands of years down there? For that matter, how do you think fish breathe? Of course, we'd also use the water to produce electricity, and we could catch fish and grow various types of seaweed for food. We'd have to have a strong structure to keep the water out of the actual city, secure locking mechanisms for getting to the farms and powerplant outside of the city, and plenty of breathing apparatuses for when we're outside of the city. Very big problem here. This city won't survive for even 3 years, unless there's some super strong material I havn't heard of. Basically, this is way past our technology level. The city would be under constant external pressure, rocks may fall on top of the city, the ground cracks beneath it, etc. etc. Oh and we could probably only get out of it with submarines, the best scuba diving suits only go 500ft I think. Thats right, I can do anything................anything :roll: Yeah right... Keep working on that kryptonite immunity.

The Coca Cola Rumours
just try it moron True, contact period would be too short + think about your mouth. It's not dissolving a hole in your mouth. Also it would probably takes days for coke to dissolve meat and bacteria and other microorganisms would have to help out too. And don't call people moron when you yourself have no hard evidence.

The Coca Cola Rumours
While I doubt that a healthy consumption of coca cola or any other soft drink is going to affect your stomach - though come to think about it, "healthy consumption" and "soft drinks" is today's newest oxymoron - it's worth pointing out that you're not likely to ever be found drinking something of an acididy close to stomach acids, and people still manage to get ulcors (uh... not sure I got that english word right? Anyone?). Yeah, sure, your stomach walls are built to handle a more acidic substance than found in a can of coke or whatever, but it still stacks up. Comparing pH as a means to say "this will never hurt you!" doesn't work, because depending on your lifestyle and whatever else you might be consuming, that acidic level might still be sufficient to hurt. Well I think ulcers are mainly caused by strains of bacteria. Some scientist figured it out but I may be wrong that all ulcers start the same way.

I am really depressed.
That's not popular, that's moronic. :P Although, do not go thinking that because you have nicer clothes means your better then people without'em. That's just your ego getting ahead of you, and you have to keep it in check. You could also consider the "Homeless Bum" approach and wear a cardboard box to school? People may start to sympathize and become your friend. I'd think that they would avoid you more.

The Coca Cola Rumours
Well first I think they were trying to prove the acidity of the coke. I bet $100 that the human stomach acid could pwn that nail in half the time, if the given info is true. If coke cola hurt our stomach so much, we must all be commiting suicide with the stomach acids in our stomachs. Unfortunately, giving fractured information makes the situation seems worse, but looking at the whole picture make it seem normal. Like DHMO. Stomach acid has an acidity of about 1.7 pH, while coke has roughly 3.4 pH. Now remember the difference between one pH lvl is 10x the acidity. For example, 2 pH is 10x more acidic than 3 pH. I think you get the picture. Oh and to educate yourself people, http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/blcoke.htm. Now look this stuff up before you post. Umm if you're not worried about the sugar then I'm pretty sure yes. Don't drink tons of cans a day though. Obviously I needed to put a " :P " at the end so, everyone actually got the joke. Everyone under the Sun knows that Coke isn't good for you. Any soda isn't good for you. Oxygen, although essential for survival, isn't good for us either. It part of the reason why we die. Oh and btw Sprite has is .1-.2 pH MORE ACIDIC than coke, so remember to mention that too. *researched is based on google search "acidity of coke and stomach acid" blame them not me \ *

The Coca Cola Rumours
As said before, the effect of cause cancer probably won't show up for years. This is long-term not short-term. Umm if you're not worried about the sugar then I'm pretty sure yes. Don't drink tons of cans a day though.

The Coca Cola Rumours
It won't help unless you cut out all artificially sweetened food. Close to how I would respond to this lol. So sue em. I doubt that happened, even if so it's 1 in a few billion. If you're scared about that think about eating in a resturant. It's more likely that a resturant will have a cockroach in the food, crawled over the food, etc, than having it in a coke cola. Just point out that people are very stupid sometimes when they think of, oh this certain company has "something" in it, when the things they're doing everyday has a much higher chance of having that "something". Just like this post about coke cola zero. There are tons of other things that have the exact same artificial sweetner but they arn't noticed.

Do you smoke?
... The facts are ambiguous. First of all your friend didn't say how much you have to drink, second drinking 1L isn't enough to cause cancer. Hell smoking a carton of cigs, and not getting addicted won't give you cancer, at least not now anyways. Coke zero may cause cancer if it has a certain type of artificial sugar, I forgot the name of it though. Causes cancer after a period of time when given to lab animals.

Life skills
Yeah. Usually we don't need to use skills past 8th grade in daily lives. The high-school courses on those should be optional and kids should start thinking about what major they want so they can focus on it and not waste time doing math when they could be advancing their chemistry skills to become a scientist. (Not a good example because you have to measure stuff in chemistry but you get the point I hope.) We should be somewhat know about this. Often parents don't teach enough about finances to their children and young adults can dig themselves into a pretty deep hole if they know nothing about credit cards and such.

Annoying Habits
Procrastination is my biggest flaw. Then comes sticking with stuff, make a schedule can't stick to it. Horrible, friend tells me to do something, I can't do it (usually for medium to big stuff, if it's like watching stuff while they go do something, that's easy.)

Do you smoke?
So you don't expect to have any children of your own? That's pretty sad, you'll never raise a child, shape one of your own, nuture em, etc... Well ur call but I think you'll want to have a child when you're older, most people do. Ya, but then you'll need a mansion and a nice bath robe for the " rich guy" look :P Gotta get that Hugh Hefner look going. Who knows, you might get lots of Playboy Playmates running around your house :P (just don't tell them you're not rich :shock: ) I'd smoke like one of those pipes on the simpsons that bart smoke. Blows out bubbles, pretty cool.

How do you scam real life money!? Prison is 4 me!
Hobby part is cool. Best thing to do is find something you're very interested in and can stick with it. That way you can see what courses you'll need to take in the future etc. etc. Instead of spending x hours in covering all your subjects and getting A's in them, you can get B's in them and really devote your time into what you find interesting and be, literally, years ahead of people who graduate in that degree/profession or whatever. Of course you better be really certain, because if you change your mind, those B's might come back to bite you in the...rear. Only 75K - not very good were they. There have been people in the past who have counted cards and left ONE casino 100K up. On the side: counting cards is a quick way to get yourself black listed from pretty much every casino in the city (if not state). Btw, what is counting cards anyways. Sound like being one of those dealers but I'm not sure.

10 Ways to Stop Racism
...Wow, what kind of an idiot would do that. The truth will not set you free. In some situations the truth is the best thing to tell, in others, it is best to hide it. Oh and the teacher can fail me because... a) I did not do the work or have anything to show for it. B) That's not what people want to hear. c) The teacher will be pissed off for smart talking. As you can see, what you think is not what happens in the real world. Yup, it is confirming that we are different and supporting the idea that some races do not perform as well as others and need help. Oh and I still need more lol.

10 Ways to Stop Racism
I should've checked back more often. Unfortunately there is no absolute way to stop racism, but if i said that I'd get a goose egg, so any stupid or just false way, but ones people want to hear, on how to get rid of racism.
