Homosexuality: Right or Wrong?
India. No Bibles. Does Gods law reign over Budda? Relgion and its "teaching" is just one big popularity contest. Stop thinking like high schoolers for the rest of your lives, people.

That's a hard lesson to learn.
Moblie homes are relativly stationary; its not a RV if anyones thinking that, its like those portable classrooms, but not one big room. Either way they have an address, a street to get to, and live in moblie home neighborhoods. No way they cannot be protected because they're moblie homes.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
Why? Ice Road Truckers and its spinoff (Not history), Ancient Aliens (The opposite of history), every show about doomsday theories (Somewhere a historian is crying), and most importantly, the shows analyzing Dan Brown's work as fact. Amen. Too many reality shows. To counter that they made a History International channel, which I'm not sure if cable gets it. That channel is still relativly normal.

Columbus Day in the United States
I was just about to bring this up. Everyone complains about how evil Columbus was, but the settlers of New England comitted similar crimes. In fact, John Smith even wrote in his diary that he was trying to imitate Columbus because Columbus took control of the natives so quickly. I don't remember the exact information, but multiple presidents deported the Eastern American natives into central and western areas, and many of the northeastern tribes were almost completely eliminated by disease and European wars. Exactly. The Trail of Tears, the Wild West, America was not friendlier to the natives as Columbus. Plus the fact while the Spanish colonists actually began to marry the natives (reason why they're darker and there's no such thing as a Hispanic race). While America remained relativily white. Not to say any other country was better. In the 1870s I think, Argentina went on a big crusade to eliminate most of the natives in the Patagonia region, and Brazil had countless massacres of natives.

Columbus Day in the United States
Ugh, what's done is done, and I would hardly blame Columbus for anything compared to say, Cortez, European aristocrats, and the US Calvary.

Exactly. A mafia gives you once chance to pay and if you missed it you're [bleep]ed. A government should give you two times to pay, to keep you safe and protected like a certain important document says...

People Who Secretly Have No Life
Because its what it means, implication. Like my dads dancing is not cool, doesn't mean his body tempature is higher than normal. I wouldn't say that it is, though. Someone who has things to do seems to have more of a life to me than someone who justs hangs around with friends all the time. Yes because usually you would interact with other people instead of really hanging out with them. I'm thinking like hobbies and jobs here, because you would need to be already at a social interaction level before you get into such things.

That's a hard lesson to learn.
You might of missed my edited post: "And if this is just like insurance, you can still pay for a car accident after you crashed. You can still pay doctors if you need surgery, with your OWN MONEY. That's what the family was trying to do. It's seriously stupid to put up a insurance policy but not having ANY OTHER OPTION to pay otherwise. This only supports the fact the government works more like a Mafia than anything else; and people die for such a thing..." Because if it was a tax, they would of payed it due to the strong federal laws against not paying it; a fee is usually optional, with an alternative method of paying (usually more expensive on your part, but it gets the job done). If this was ran by taxes, if they didn't pay taxes they would have to pay a fee once the firemen put out the fire; see, alternative. Will cost a hell of a lot more probably, but they still have the house, the US government has more money than before, it's a win-win situation.

Even from a business standpoint you could charge them triple the 75 dollars plus everything they might as hell please and I bet the family would of accepted. And if this is just like insurance, you can still pay for a car accident after you crashed. You can still pay doctors if you need surgery, with your OWN MONEY. That's what the family was trying to do. It's seriously stupid to put up a insurance policy but not having ANY OTHER OPTION to pay otherwise. This only supports the fact the government works more like a Mafia than anything else; and people die for such a thing... I'm seriously sick of OT talking so much crap about morality. It's about being respectful; letting a man you don't know house burn down while you're RIGHT THERE with proper equipment to put it out, it's just flat out disrespect and a middle finger shoved right up his ass. Pathetic and embarrassing to the Fire Department. Ignoring the fact that this WAS A FEE, NOT A TAX, should firemen even save children from fires? Since they don't pay any taxes whatsoever, and why bother saving an illegals' apartment if he doesn't pay taxes? Oh wait, now the fire's catching no Mrs. Smith's apartment but the fire's too big! They won't be able to contain it; oh crap there goes the entire apartment building.

National Coming Out Day
I beg to differ. I don't have any statistical links to back me up, but I know there has been surveys that have shown a correlation between income and sexuality/gender/ethnic origin. Like how skinny people average more money than Obese people, pretty sure it would apply to sexuality too if you're really open about it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberace You guys just love to make arguments, don't you. Just [bleep]ing love it. That guy made money because he was a pianist, an actor, and whatever else he was. I'm talking about, sitting on a couch, being gay, do you make money? No. Playing the piano, makes money? Yes. But no ones going to give you a check because you're gay or straight. They'll give you money for the work you do. I will though agree with sexual orientation discrimination, but, they shouldn't be talking about it in work.

What have you learned today?
I have NOT learned how to Track Motion properly yet. Still have to consult with the After Effects tutorials.

That's a hard lesson to learn.
Its hard to pay something that doesn't exist: It wasn't a [bleep]ing tax, how many times are we going to say it? Fees and taxes are two completely different things.

Literature
I said we should use the time machine to kill Shakespeare and avoid all annoying clichés, but they said killing Hitler was better. <_<

Vegetarianism
See, my point. I'll rather save the extra cash by buying regular. Going the commercialized way of healthy is just too expensive.

Vegetarianism
But how sure can one be sure these cows are raised 'properly'? Same goes with "organic" anything.
