Your *outrageous* fast-food experience.
Other than the occasional order-mess up, nothing bad has really happened to me. However, I tend to notice that the drive-thru people cause more problems than in the inside.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Sodious, you can't give an example with a few people and expect to end the steryotype. Those people you met sound like fine people, but you must realise there are folks that really ARE 'jerks'. They let you go with them to that amusment park, true 'jerks' won't even go to that point with people such as I, nerds so to speak. But you do have a point, if people get insulted by that ref-guy cracking some jokes on the field then they are pretty whiny.

Moral Law
Overall, indivudially people are good. But when they go into a group, bad comes in. Things like peer pressure and the idea that 'everyone else is doing it' is in our nature. Back in 1908, one hundred years ago, you would never hear about a woman getting pregeant at twelve, thirteen years of age. But now it is common along with teenage pregencies. We know it is wrong to comit adultery, because most Americans believe in the Christian faith or their morals. So why do these girls have sex at early ages with guys who do the act as sport? Because it is labelled as popular and 'acceptable' by the majority. However, when you ask many people indivually, most will say such [bleep] are unacceptable. Another example is in the fascist countries of the 1900s. Germans knew that killing Jews and minorities were bad, but didn't do anything against it because most of the other people weren't against it. The way to be in the Light, is to fight against the majority. Your actions can influence others to do the same thing and bring a brighter future into the world.

Oil and the Future
Is that just something you pulled out your [wagon]? (Not the economy bit) No, that is pretty accurate. Especially true in the Western United States, which was mostly built after the 1950s during the change to surburban layout making us drive longer. My parents used to own a video store near downtown Los Angeles. When me and my sister were born we couldn't live in a tiny apartment (which was twenty miles away) so the closest, cheap, good house was fifty miles away. In the suburbs. This was before the oil crisis when driving fifty miles to work was common and 'whatever' but now with the prices they are at now they couldn't spend going there everyday. You guys wanted my parents to buy a house closer to their work? Plus our economy isn't the best at right now and we have many taxes. With these damn gas prices rising how are we supposed to pay them off if we need to drive to the place that will let us? (work)

Do You Beleive in Ghosts? Aliens? Zombies? Other?
I'm pretty neutreal about ghosts. I don't really believe them, but I can certainly see how they can exist and cannot. Zombies no...but aliens, yes I do believe in aliens. At least some that haven't gotten up to faster-to-light speeds, like us.

flying, which would you prefer?
I'll rather have the Superman type. When robbing the 4th story of a bank, the guards won't look at the winged-man freak so much.

A quick question reguarding video editing...
From what I understand, you want a RS-moving object to be in real life? I never tried this, but it should work. You need a video-editing program that can use Keying. WindowsMovieMaker doesn't have this, you'll have to buy some programs for it. Keying is basically doing your shots in front of a green or blue screen and you cut that off and add another video on it. Do the movement you want to do in RuneScape in front of a green surface, such as grass. (Don't let your character wear anything green or that'll be invisble!) You could do it in front of something blue, but I don't know any places like that...Anyway, Key that piece of film in the Video editing program (I know Adobe Premiere Elements 4 has it, but it cost me 80 bucks...) and add it to the second timeline. Add the real life footage into the first timeline and your character alone should be in the car. I'm not sure at which angle you want, but keep it simple. Mess around with it to make it look good. Also look onto the Motion Properties and mess around with the keyframes to add movement of your character. Scaling it down over a certain period of time can also be done in these properties, perfect for something to be moving away in the distance while driving...

Chernobyl
thats not strictly true, solar power, wind power and hydro are all safer. There are also hazards regarding waste. The US uses their all knowing hand to stop countries like iran and north korea from producing nuclear power, but its all :thumbsup: for them to do it? The problem with solar and wind, they don't produce nearly as much power as nuclear and you have to place hydro plants in certain places. North Korea doesn't want nuclear power, it wants nuclear missiles. Two very different things. One is good for people the other is not. With Iran being very religious and anti-American, I wouldn't trust them with the knowledge of creating nuclear power, since it can lead to nuclear weapons.

Until the government can control and tax the druglords, it ain't gonna be legal.

"The Grid", What are your thoughts?
How can it be as fast as offline? Are the computers phsically connected by cable? Cuz you know, it kinda already is... If the method of transferring data is different, couldn't they put it with the current internet and bloody leave the name as it is? Why make a whole new 'thing' when we can just upgrade the old? And for the love of god, if this happens, please don't name it 'The Grid'. :cry:

Total Drama island
Christ...we can't go around protecting our kids from everything. Stop being the fed-up wanna-be parents, and let kids watch some crap. Besides, a bare [wagon] and a sexist is much better than hardcore porn found on the internets or on the Playboy channel.

A child of the 90's, this is what shaped my world.(few pics)
I didn't play video games back then but I sure watched TV. Hey Arnold, Rocko's Modern Life, and Angry Beavers were my favourate. You just can't compare 90s Nick with 00's Nick...Its...crap... :cry:

Australia is now the world's fattest country
Not true, the majority of English people are in favor of the Queen and the Queen had heavy influence over decisions made by the PM. It doesn't mean the parliment have to listen, right?

Runescape turns into Single Player. Could you survive ?
No, I'll quit in a heartbeat. Being better than others is what drove me to play this game. Without the competition, its useless.

The official World of Warcraft thread.

If it doesn't work over here why would it work over there? Besides, the media is FTL nowadays.

Your Weird Habits
Oh, that reminds me...when I have the volume of a TV or eletronic device with numbers, its always a multiple of 5. Such as 10, 25, 55, granted the volume has a large number-range.

Australia is now the world's fattest country
Yea, because the physical education in schools actually offers enough physical activity to stave off the obesity :roll: It may be required, but that doesn't at all mean it works. Granted, it may inspire some kids to work out or play some sport, but if the targetted kids are those that get no exercise, one class every two or so days won't cut it. I know what you mean. At my school we have these group of [girls with loose morals] who don't do anything. They flirt with the teacher and get away not doing anything. Then theres the 90% of the other students who don't care and just do enough to pass the class. The school system has to relise that if they want to make us fit, they gotta give us things we enjoy. Ulitmate frisbee, gymastics, volley-tennis (Seriously, WTF?) were very unpopular with us. On the other hand, 98% of the guys in my class alone LOVE basketball. They'll get out on the court in a second if we played basketball. P.S Perhaps it was Lenin. Perhaps it was... Edited - pryomancer

In-game boyfriends/girlfriends
The only thing you can do with these spammers is ignore them. And report 'em if you think that works.

Lock please
Wait, let me this straight... I can go to that one place, say Bob456 hacked my account, and the legit Bob456 can't play for a while? Jesus Christ dude, how does that happen?!?
