Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
'ch' is kind of a big deal, though. ц Problem solved. Thanks, Cyrillic! Remove one letter but add another? Might as well leave glorious C by itself.

The wait's worth it. :mrgreen: Today I found out the gas station 500 feet from my house was robbed by armed thugs. Crazy part is I was in there literally 5 minutes before to pump gas. When I came around again cops were at the front arresting two guys and I saw more cops down the road: apparently the two other guys ran off when the cops showed. At the time I didn't know it was robbed I thought it was like a drug bust or something. :razz: Crazy coincidence eh?

Real life help & advice
"My kid's no damn bully. The other kids are just [kitties] that's it!" I doubt the parents will side with the enemy of their kid. No no no, I meant the autistic kids parents. The one who is BEING bullied, haha. Sorry for confusion Oh okay. Yes, parents have more voice than students unfortunately.

Firstly, in order not to get trouble you need to understand why the bullies don't get it trouble. Reality is, teachers and school administration don't punish people if they don't have solid evidence. The spoken word is not solid evidence for them, since teenagers are liable to lie to get each other in trouble. Key is this: whatever you do, don't do it publicly. Avoid the sight of other students, security, teachers, whatever. Also since you're trying to get them alone maybe bringing an extra one of you will further make your point. A confrontation needs no violence, but threaten it if need be. If he tries to walk away or anything, physically stop him: he'll know you mean business. If this happens, then you have to be on top: no backing down for anything.

I started building. Most significant event in the history of the server if I do say so myself.

I'm not saying Richard was the victim, I am merely suggesting that maybe we shouldn't jump up one kid's ass and exalt another kid based on a 45 second clip. I've heard that Richard's family is pursuing a lawsuit or something of that nature, obviously there are things we don't know. A lawsuit was filled for a restaurant for not warning customers enough that coffee is indeed hot. There was also a lawsuit where the "Wet Floor" sign was tilted 90 degrees away from the incoming person with an employee moping in clear sight. My point is, just because there's a lawsuit it doesn't mean it has decent previous evidence to help or clear his name. He messed with somebody, got [bleep]ed over it. Doesn't matter who is the true bully in this case, shut the [bleep] up and keep to yourself if you want to avoid conflict. They won those lawsuits. So by that logic, it would be fair for Casey, who didn't "keep to himself" in this case, to get the [cabbage] beat out of him? You know what, scratch out my last section...that makes no sense with illogical bullies. And the second lawsuit was not won, for one of my teachers was part of the jury for that particular case and they did not find her claims to be justified. Point is: because you go to court, win or lose, doesn't mean Richard has any sort of moral, innocent/guilty, whatever name you justification. A good book reader and public speaker can make a jury believe anything.

What do you propose we do, if no one knows anything? Best to settle this dispute by themselves. Do nothing, stop acting like this kid is some kind of hero, allow them to settle it civilly? Do nothing...? Ha. Civilly? Ha! Things like these must use action to change...and as several posters already said, civilly is not an opition.

I don't even think we'd have this for the sole purpose of playing Runescape. Little do you know this was a serious topic a few years back; not for playing RuneScape but to meet each other. Anybody remember that? :shades:

Is America a greedy country?
By the time that happens, the average joe with that great new product will have become wealthy, and much better off than he would've been, much quicker than had he gone at it himself. We're already so far into a hypothetical that its almost pointless to argue. Well I'm just saying what would most realistically happen, with the most highest probability. The inventor could be content being rich and not known for inventing the product. Personally I'll rather have both.

You're claiming that there's some vast conspiracy in the "ruling class" against the average joe? I refuse to believe that people are that sinister. Not a co-operative conspiracy, but its common sense if Joe Smith's new product might screw you over you're gonna stop him somehow. Venture Capitalism: help him and profit with him. But since you're the primary investor, you get a larger percent of the stocks. Get 51 through justification and sly negotiating, you took over his business. In essense, the creator never gets true ownership of his invention/service. That is if he accepts your offer of partnership. If he refuses, my previous post still stands.

Libya Uprising thread
Lack meaning to the individual not as a country. I live in the richland that is America and I don't feel if I die tomorrow I'm going to be remembered for something historic. I can't imagine people in Libya, with less money and opportunities than I, would feel satisfied.

I thought we had it settled people can do what they want with their money. Besides its not like they don't buy food or anything else right? Well, they don't spend as much on luxuries as someone who plans to stay a citizen of the country for an extended period of time. You can't blame the poor for not buying Mercedes.
