Nothing could ever make me give up my construction xp <3:

Sorted :lol: Neva.

Agreed. The first article was just opinions without any logical backing for most of the stances. Not surprised this is in the Times though lol. Inb4the "warning" for "badmouthing our pretty articlesz." The fact that you said that expecting a warning is just downright disrespectful. You are perfectly entitled to any constructive opinions and criticisms but comments like "Not surprised this is in the Times though lol" (implying that you think the Times is just crap) are completely unnecessary. My view of the times has been espoused numerous times. I'm expecting the moderators to suspend normal logical behavior to defend the Times, as they have in the past, even when its obvious that the pieces (in the past) have been poorly written or just downright wrong. There's nothing illogical about insisting that all comments are respectful and follow the forum and thread rules that have been clearly and explicitly laid out. That is all we have ever asked. If you have any more "Issue with the Times as a whole" you can PM me or post in our Times Discussion Thread: Or dare I suggest it, you can show us how you think it should be done by writing an article yourself.

I don't really think it's fair to judge closed relationships based on some stupid peoples' decisions. Yes there are plenty of people who enter into a relationship because they like the idea of it or because they just want to be loved. And yes there are loads of people who get married when their relationship already has problems, or because they're gold diggers, or just because they got pregnant, or because they think it will be convenient, etc. But there are also plenty of men and women who enter into marriage or a closed relationship simply because they truly love the other person. I think the horrible divorce rates are just due to people making poor decisions or getting married for the wrong reasons. And that's the fault of the people - not the cultural idea of closed relationships. You may not like closed relationships and that's perfectly fine, but that doesn't mean that they're a bad thing culturally or that all men secretly despise them. The world is full of people who make horrible decisions every day in all aspects of life, but that doesn't mean closed relationships are bad or doomed to fail. I do respect your opinion and I know we'll just have to agree to disagree.. but I just feel like the article in particular uses a lot of generalizations and overarching statements (or imply them) like "Monogamy is bad for all men," "Men are not designed to be monogamous," "Closed relationships aren't realistic" etc. It's fine for you to have that opinion but to me it has been sounding like you (and the article) have been stating them more as facts, and I don't think that's quite fair, especially when there are men in this thread saying that they prefer monogamy. We can't judge the entire human race or each gender. There are men who prefer monogamy and women who prefer open relationships. Ultimately, I don't think we can make assumptions about the entire race and say "Open relationships are better and how it was meant to be for humans." With something like this, the most important factor is going to be personality, and humans differ so greatly in this area. So I think whether monogamy or an open relationship is the right choice for a person is going to come down to their personality and values rather than how it was "meant to be" or whatever is most natural.

Up to 15,765,286 xp. Also got 95 woodcutting: I was a little late on the screeny :(

I completely agree with obfuscator. There is definitely a strong connection between sex and love. That's not to say that you must love everyone you have sex with, but there is definitely a connection. I also think that "I cheat because if I asked for an open relationship she would get mad, break up with me, or just deny my request" is a really pathetic reason. I have absolutely no problem with open relationships as long as they're consensual on both sides, but I think there is absolutely no justification for cheating. I find it extremely selfish that men would emotionally destroy their girlfriends (by cheating on them) so they can have everything they want (one night stands and the emotional benefits from a serious relationship). I wouldn't want to date a person like that. It shows a complete lack of respect and just selfishness.

I finally saw Pulp Fiction last week lol. And just now I watched Inkheart. I tried to read the book several years ago and didn't get through it. The movie was alright. A little weird but entertaining :P

Karamaja general store method. Like a boss. I was away for 9 days while my boyfriend visited. But now it's time for some hardcore construction:

Please welcome @Lord Paul, our newest member of the board moderator team! We're confident that he will be a great addition! :thumbsup:

Today I did this: And then I got this:

Sorry to hear that Ouchy :( You're definitely making the right decision to dump her.

Love the artwork :thumbsup:

YouTube Channel Can't make it to an event? Or just want to watch our epic videos? Check out the Tip.It Monster Hunting Team's official YouTube Channel: TipItMonsterHunters http://www.youtube.com/user/TipItMonsterHunters We will begin recording as many of our events as possible and posting the videos on our YouTube channel. In the future, we also hope to include boss walkthroughs!

Don't worry, if we do them at all they would be a "once in a blue moon" kind of thing :) Our focus is definitely on the more profitable (and now more popular) bosses!

In an effort to help determine one of our future monster hunts, we'd like everyone to please vote in the poll! By "fun" boss hunt, we're referring to the bosses that are no longer considered profitable or good ways of making money. Therefore, the events would be purely for entertainment and/or nostalgia purposes. You may select multiple answers so please choose any options that interest you for a future TMHT event! * Please remember that KBD and Chaos Elemental are both located in the Wilderness, and therefore there's always the risk of getting PKed on the way.

My favourite skills are in your icky list :( :P Congrats Ami!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

:twss:

Thanks guys :) I'm thinking of finally getting 25 million construction xp :P Thoughts??

That's why we created a monster hunting team (TMHT) :P The acronym is one consonant off from being "TMNT". :P Will the Monster hunting team be given a color/title too to to make it official they replaced TET? :mrgreen: They will soon be given colours and ranks avatars.

That's why we created a monster hunting team (TMHT) :P

No complaints here. Compared to other MMOs, RuneScape has always been and still is on the cheaper side.
