What would the world be like without the United States?
+ the Americas. Though that wouldn't last too long. Unsuitability will cause isolated places to revolt and break free. Plus the military organization of the Nazis couldn't of supported distances that big for long.

kid gets detention for eating a jolly rancher
Too bad realistically we can't go to Africa and donate food to the poor, or go and stop terrorists, or become Kickass superheros. The way to avoid all of these stupid rules and injustices is for authority to have a bit of unbiased and critical analysis. A lot of us already have that, and its not at all hard to get, so I don't know why these officials can't get some for themselves and their jobs.

Schools confiscating students' property
My school bans sharpies and white out. How is this common sense not to bring it? If I write a mistake on pen, isn't common sense to fix it with white-out? If I want to write words on notecards wouldn't it be common sense to use a sharpie? If it's cold isn't it common sense to wear gloves or a hat? All those items are banned in my school. Why? [cabbage] relations to gangs and graffiti (except for the white out which I don't know how you can write on a wall with that). I disagree on the second statement. People WILL try to trick you in your adult life. Accounts slipping some cash through your tax records, clerks charging you more than you should, doctors that tell you good news so you don't have to bug them anymore. Questioning these people and finding out what has happened to fix it is much more important than following bureaucratic rules. The most common of rulebreakers are for the most common of offensives. Offensives the majority of us can agree to. Though the specific rules don't make much sense other than providing a false sense of security in school, shouldn't exist in the first place.

Excellent post. It's funny too, it seems no one cares about rulebreakers until they get unjustly punished for something. All we're trying to do is stop that practice.

Schools confiscating students' property
Unfortunately that's not just the case. Laser pointers, hats, dress codes, Axe cans, sharpies, and white-out have no dangerous quality enough to be banned. Why should I, having nothing on any danger value, have to hide and protect the item like a top secret nuclear detonator? Besides, with the attitude schools have, you're guilty until proven innocent.

Real life help & advice
People said this to me before I left high school early, and I don't think they are .001% right at all. College is so much better, theres not even a comparison. Also, to the guys who said they didn't want to take AP classes because you wanted to take them in college, wouldn't graduating early be a good thing then? Because you get to take those classes, and learn more than in high school. Are you being spoonfed by your parents while in college? Did you had lots of friends in high school. There's sure people who prefer to skip high school and all, but I highly doubt that's the real case.

I fixed it. There's no reason whatsoever the school should take your stuff when its CLEARLY not a danger. Even a laser pointer, used by some teachers, cannot and should not be classified as a weapon. There is a lot more "dangerous" items a student can bring to school than a measly laser pointer. And I don't mean the obvious like knives or guns. The school officials should place themselves in the student's shoes from time to time, not just sit in their high horse and view every teenager as a future gangsta. My advice for you is to complain and push the issue over and over again. Bring your parents as well if they're willing to. The ease you guys accept rules worry me. Think of yourself and think of the past when you say things like "it's a rule you shouldn't be doing it".

[TF2] It's MANN Vs. Machine!
That team you played against was garbage. No team with even a small amount of competence would have issues eliminating one sentry. It was on the bar room server and not all of them were terrible. I think they just got caught off guard by it lol. Fair enough, although it should have only worked once to catch them by surprise. Some sentries are a pain in the neck to get rid of, so I'll give you that much. Or they're positioned just such, that a uber to get Sentry A gets pushed back by Sentry B and vice versa. Or the Gorge Roof "glitch". Was it ever a glitch? I only heard it by that.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
I have no problem with it, I just get angry when I can't understand them Um, what? --- Asian couples. I swear to god, I walk by these two asian couples between my classes and they swing around across the hallway hugging each other or whatever. You expect them to stay on the right side of the way, so you walk towards the left, and BAM. You almost got knocked over. :wall:

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
:unsure: Well... that was the first time I've ever seen somebody allow Muggi's type of advice to go unflamed. Heh. Anyway, I always thought the problem of this thread was that some people followed Dan's or Lent's advice a bit too seriously and unquestionably. I was confinced if Dan/Lent said to light your pants on fire and jump off a cliff some people WOULD of done it. A bit too desperate for a relationship I suppose. Which is a great issue I have with these types that "go having a girlfriend for the sake of having a girlfriend". Most likely thinking indirectly they're going to get laid. Eh, I'm just mumbling crap now. Carry on.

Favorite thing about the opposite sex?
If they're fat, then they have more "pits" where sweat builds up on. Its just like your armpits: two pieces of flesh squished together.

South Park
If they could lower there stupid weird explanations for stuff and their high "moral" judgment then I might like it a bit more.

Real life help & advice
Education aside, why would you want to leave behind your friends when you could still meet them regularly for a few more years. Skipping High School to get into college sooner just seems like a pro-longed want of being grown up commonly seen in a child. Enjoy being young when you can.

Sperm donations
Medical and genetic restrictions I assume? I knew there was some sort of limit. People (teenage boys) talk about how much money you get from sperm donating, and if that was the case there wouldn't be such thing as homeless males.

What movie(s) did you last see?
4th post on Iron Man 2. I didn't watch the first one, since I'm not really a superhero guy, but this was surprisingly good. Realistic, of sorts. :razz:

Guinness World Records Names Top 50 Game Franchises Of All Time
It's a good list I think, but not in "best games in old time" but "recently popular games." I have no qualms with it if its under that category.

Toy Story 3
Someone else said it, but, it'll be pretty interesting the movie theater lined up more with teenagers/young adults than kids themselves. The guys who actually grew up with the stuff. :grin: As for me, I'll definitely watch it. Maybe in theathers, maybe in DVD, but I'll watch it one way or another.

Thinking about selling/trading in games...
Haha. Gamestop won't give you [cabbage] for your games. I handed in a used copy of a Xbox game, gave me 8 bucks for it. Sold the exact same game (used) for 40. ... These guys are horrible merchants. :shame:

Good are rules, not rules are good. Just because it's a rule, doesn't mean it makes perfect sense and must be justified. You guys have to open your eyes to this and get off the "I'm a good kid" mentality. Some rules (especially at the school level) are just so illogical they shouldn't be made one in the first place. If there was a rule that charged you a heavy tax when you buy food, to the point of not getting enough making you starve, would you continue listening to that rule or you'll go to the black market, breaking the rule?
