Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
I hate Republicans more than Democrats, since they're often contradicting themselves and are the loudest. Though who likes tree huggers?

Please Lock.
Death penalty often gets confused with harsher punishment rather than killing itself. Its just something I would like posters to remember in this thread. I, for one, gave up on the justice system long ago. They can do whatever they want because either way it will screw with somebody.

[TF2] It's MANN Vs. Machine!
Tips so you can suck less? Don't be spy or sniper until you're pretty good at basic TF2. People WILL bash at you as those classes with low scores. Attack in groups. Helps the team wonderfully. As an engineer, try to place your sentry gun and dispenser close to each other so as you repair your sentry you still get health and metal from the dispenser. Also place the sentry further away from corners rather than right at them. As a pyro, right-click to airblast. This blows the fire off teammates away and you will be instantly loved. ...and helps your team! If you are unsure what is ahead, wait for a teammate to come and attack in a pair. Especially as a new player not only you have the skill disavantage but you have the geographical disadvantage too. Spies, sentries, and pyros like to hide in the shadows. Eh, some random tips I came up with. Just remember, experience is the best practice. Eventually after playing the game for a while you will understand tactics, know the terrain, and most importantly, gain skill in the classes. Unlike RuneScape and some other games, it only gets funner the further you play at it.

What would the world be like without the United States?
By "ally" I thought you meant the French monarchy because they're the ones that were allied with the American government, not the people (which is impossible in standard diplomatic terms). The monarchy did praise the colonists as heroes against the Red Menance, that is true, and now we go back to your post, which wasn't wrong, I don't know why you think I was correcting you, just a mis-assumption.

What would the world be like without the United States?
That's one of the first mistakes people make when studying history. "The French" have two different meanings here: one the government, the other the people. America's ally the French, refers to the monarchy of Louis XVI. They weren't the ones inspired by ideas of revolution...against themselves? Whereas the French Revolution was led to the common French man, not the French Monarchy. Not saying anybody is wrong here, but it just irks me to see people confuse government and people...especially in non-democratic states where the government is usually a small, unpopular party. Funny thought as I wrote this. If America was the superpower back then, it would of helped Royal French factions instead of the Freedom-fighting French populace. Just a reminder on morals and honor in the world stage.

No. See, this is the crap they teach in American schools. (I'm guessing you second-heard this from someone, or Canadian schools follow with American propoganda XD) If any revolution changed the way Europeans thought it was the French. The American was just too far away for anyone but the English (just the politicans mind you) to give a damn. And yet... Would the French have had the same revolution if they had not seen the American Revolution first? No doubt, Louis and Marie would have met the same unpleasantries, but would it just be another Monarch who took their place or a true transformation in the way that the nation is governed? More biased American history. Yes they would. A revolt against an colonial governor six thousand miles from the throne is child's play compared to a revolt against the king on his throne. It was a powder keg ready to explode eventually. If not in 1789, then 1794 or 1799. It would of happened shortly later.

:mrgreen: Mess with one creepa, mess with da hood, dawg. -- I've recently installed several mods in hopes of making Survival more adventurous and exciting. While I'll still INVEdit worlds, sometimes I want just want to go on an adventure. (in another world) Some mods I've installed are Mo Creature Pack, Humans Plus, and Battle Towers. Anyone have some mod suggestions to add a bit of adventurous twist to the game?

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
I never saw any inclination of a once-in-a-blue-moon interruption in the original post: "This probably sounds discriminating, but hear me out. People with "special" needs tend to be real loud, even in a Library, and it's tolerated. This is just annoying to me, why should anyone be treated differently for behaving stupidly, or violently, just because they have special needs? Eugh" It must of been pretty lengthy to be memorable enough to post it on a off-topic forum thread. Come on. But you're just posting that to level yourself out so you looked to have been partly right. But no, you just overjumped yourself.

Whats so alien about kicking people out? Of course tell them to stop but if they continue you kick them out. Mothers should already acknowledge the fact their babies may randomly burst out crying so she should always prepare to make a quick escape to the bathroom or outside to care for the baby. Keep in mind, we're talking about a library not any building.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
Do you suggest banning them from the library? Maybe, if the issue becomes bigger. A library is supposed to be a quiet place to revise, study or learn, not a place to shout and scream. If you people with mental illness to be removed from places like a library simply because of their illness, then it quickly can degenerate into disallowing them from anywhere on the basis of public nuisance. I've spent hundreds of hours at libraries by the way, and let me say those with full mental capacity have regularly been far more disruptive than those without. Stop going to the extremes Y_Guy, you don't prove a realistic argument that way. Mental illness,jackass or children, distrub the peaceful auroma of the library then you should get kicked out. Period.

Not ban, just kicked out if they're disturbing. They'll do that to me if I did it.

New weapons look good, depending on personal preference and attitude unlike other weapons. I've yet have to test the Loch and Load. The Medieval Mode is very fun, but it does get old after a few rounds.- Minecraft General
Have you gotten the newer versions? I believe the maker left the pack for a while and returned. There is also something on the MCF in the modding section which allows HD Texturepacks to work, fixing problems such as the animations on blocks and liquids. I would like to say it was the most up-to-date verison available but I'm not sure. I'll take a look MCF for that though, thanks. EDIT: :blink: Found it right away. Amazing, I have no clue what it did but it worked! Bricks, animated water, and gold bars (epic for bank vaults) are back! Can't thank you enough Zilla! Now to see if the Nether works! EDIT: It WORKS! [bleep]ing amazing. ...and my portal is in the middle of a huge slow sand pit. The hell. <_< But it works! :mrgreen:- [TF2] It's MANN Vs. Machine!
Saves you the embarrassment of wearing them. :mrgreen:- Happy New Year!
There was a thread about that very same question. I think they decided to call it the Naughts or something. :???:- Minecraft General
Has to be Zip'ed in order for Minecraft to register, kinda like how .jar files works. Logic would dictate you unzip the material, but not Minecraft! The texture pack I use is called 'Brown and Bloom' but it has a glitchy gold block, no bloodstone, or brick block....so I gotta modify it a bit. Other than that its an awesome pack.- Happy New Year!
I'm sure the entire world is in 2011 now. Except for Hawaiiners.- Minecraft General
I present to you...Hoodoo - the gold rush mining town in the Badlands. After my last fortress (posted pics on here) got glitched out in multiplayer, I decided to start a new frotress town. Bigger and better than before. Its not even half done, but its a good progress. I plan to make more bridges, tunnels (there's a small system already), connecting-buildings, and the Baron's (moi) super castle. [hide=Showing a bit of Hoodoo from ground level][/hide] [hide=Another nice picture of a outpost nearby, on Mono Lake][/hide]- Happy New Year!
:thumbup: Odd years are usually worse than evens though.
