Download festival
http://www.rockwerchter.be/RW2006/splash.asp after my exams, this is where I'll be heading. Tool will be there as well (all right, I love their new album!), and soooooo many more great bands. Just check out the line-up, again, we Belgians prove that we have the best festivals in the world ;)

Heaviest thing you've heard that you've actually liked?
Marilyn Manson, just because his lyrics aren't just about how [cabbage]e the world is and how much bad luck we all have. Which is the mainstream topic in most heavy stuff I've encountered. I love his music, but I'm not into metal (anymore).

@ MMORPGs to become "RL" all RSers MUST read! @
Being stored inside for long periods of time is unhealthy. We aren't made for that. If you think having a social life in a computer is as important as having a social life in the real world then someone's in denial. Right on. The only thing that separates humans from animals is our intellect and social needs. Talking with people over the internet might be quite satisfactory, but it's still much more enjoyable (for everyone, also for computer geeks) if you interact with people in reality, so face-to-face contact. And I seriously doubt conversations involving 'who we're gunna own' and 'when my sword deal is over' are sufficient as human contact.

@ MMORPGs to become "RL" all RSers MUST read! @
Indeed, these games could become the drugs of the 21st century. I admit that I even sold an item in RS for real money. I'm still able to tell the difference between real money and RS money, but the guy I sold it to, wasn't. That is kinda sad. I'll elaborate this a little, so none of you think I'm a dealing jerk taking advantage of addictions:

Best Anti-Drugs Campaign
I'd like to hear that from your mouth if you really were addicted to crack/cocaine/heroine... The billions of people that smoke stupid cigarettes can't even get rid of them easily, do you really think a crackhead can just say: [cabbage], I don't wanna become that. I'll just quit. That picture won't make a difference for addicts, only for ppl who may still become addicts, so that they won't. But yeah, pretty gross what chemicals can do with you.

I have the third type of haircut. Bring it on :lol: I wonder how many sect members will be disappointed in God now and kill themselves. Let's hope they all do.

brithday dates.
I'm from '86 as well, so you're not that much of a grandpa around here ;) Finally, someone who's close to Nov 1. Seems like most parents didn't feel like making babies in the beginning of Februari.

family guy
Peter and Stewie are awesome. Though I still have way more respect for Matt Groening for inventing this comedy genre, Family Guy is the better version of the Simpsons.

Worst weather condition?
In Europe wheather is relatively mild. So the worst wheather condition for me atm would be a very hot and out of the roof humidity climate. What's the coldest temp you usually get there? Cause seriously, you can't wear a t-shirt out when it's less than -20 and wind is going at least 20 kmph which is the norm during winter here :( Oh, it's pretty soft. -5 celsius, sometimes -10 celsius which is what everybody thinks is cold here. When it's -10 I'll wear a jacket. yeah, copy that. I was just sitting outside with some friends, studying, and they all wore a jacket, I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt :D

You HAVE GOT to be kidding me.
Yeah, don't get pissed because of some pathetic loser thinks he's better than coloured people. Just read what some others have replied and keep your cool, reply in a professional way and you'll get much much better response.

You HAVE GOT to be kidding me.
O rly? I couldn't tell. I'm not saying all black people, just a good portion of them. Just like if someone made a bulletin about 'redneck white people', I wouldn't be offended because I know I don't fall under that category. Of course! Imagine you'd be part of a minority group of, say, 10% of the people, that STILL gets treated worse in our society, without obvious reasons. If you'd call the 90% of white ppl names, it'd be a form of self-defense, because poor minorities always feel ignored and abused. If the big group of white poeple do it, it's without a particular reason, no self-defense is needed at all. That's what I call racist. I myself am 'white' (I dont give a [cabbage] about colour, I'm even a little jealous on a good tan) but I would never blame a coloured person when he calls me whitey (or whatever) when he's alone. It's a completely different case when he calls me that when I'm walking in the Bronx; then I'm a minority. So he should accept me defending myself and he should'nt be using aggresive language. Kinda complicated but it all comes down to respect for one another.

You HAVE GOT to be kidding me.
Yeah? It may be true that we white ppl would be considered racists if we had our own white television, college funds etc etc. But it has a reason; we already are treated with more care and respect. I'm Belgian and foreigners get a ton more of those special treatments, sometimes they even get out of hand. (for ex.: socialist party wants foreigners to have more benefits in many aspects of society than native Belgians) BUT I still think it's crucial to give the minorities more chances than the majority, since most ppl of majorities get treated better anyway. Society still has a lot of stereotype givens, such as men's wages are higher than their female colleagues that do the same job, white people get hired a lot easier etc. I'm absolutely pro integration, even if it may seem a little too far-fetched. What website is it btw? censorship on these forums goes a long way :P

brithday dates.
Yeah, we all love you, you don't need a special day to know that ;) Nov 1 here, the saddest day in a whole year. Great.

And now, for something completely different..
Haha, fantastic. British people, they're always 10 years ahead of everyone when it comes to comedy.

Freeze to Death, or Burn to Death?
Yep, by freezing you'll slowly fade away, as if you're falling asleep. By burning you suffer incredible pains, why do you think it was used for torchure? Man, the answer to this question is as obvious as Chuck Norris being the reason why Waldo is hiding.

Who's Chuck Norris?
He's your living nightmare. Oh and did you know that there is no theory of evolution, only a list of animals Chuck Norris allows to live. Beat that! :lol:

me riding my bike...
That's so incredibly cool. Who taped it? You did? I've always been clumsy as hell in those things, gave up way too fast :lol: The only thing I'm good at is mountain climbing, I have a few nice pictures of that, but not on PC :? Keep it up! And those movies are awesome! More of them! :D

Yeah, gj Aussies :) If there's a country I'd like to see in the final rounds next to the Netherlands, it's Australia. And I hope Italy gets knocked out asap, gotta hate their dirty tricks.

Smallest monster that ever killed you
When I still played I trained with kebabs. Killer kebabs those were... I had like 3 hp left, ate one, but it was one of those sickening kebabs; *poof* dead :lol: Oh, I was lvl 82 or something back then, how's that for a sad death?

Poll of the world
Oh, a little comment to defend the Americans and their food: I myself am Belgian and Belgians are known for their haute-cuisine. I've been to the US three times and every time I go to a decent restaurant in the bigger cities (expensive as it may be), the food is always excellent. You just don't compare a country to what people think it is. Europeans often seem to think America is all about hamburgers and coke. That's like saying all Brittish ppl have a posh accent and feel superior to the rest of the world. Perhaps a lot of junkfood is from the US, but they also definately have taste, if you're prepared to pay for it :)

Picture in picture photo gallary
Wow, pretty nifty! Also a pretty easy game to make I think.

Personal favorite classic games. PC games.
The only games I really like playing are stategy games, such as the Age of Empires series. I also used to play Caesar III way too much (for the fans: Caesar IV is coming out soon!). Apart from that, nothing at all :lol:

Poll of the world
Hmm, French people can be quite arrogant, but that's because they're so darn stubborn and obnoxious. If you've ever been to a former sovjet union state, you'll praise the French for their warm welcomes and generosity. Seriously, the only 4 countries the Brittish know are Italy, France, Spain and the US. I've encountered so many Brittish people that didn't even know 'what' Belgium was :roll: Even though it's 50 miles southeast of London, some simply don't know it. It doesn't surprise me one bit that these are the results. Silly sods.

Right, demons, the end of the world... I can't believe some people are dumb enough to believe those bible fairytales. The bible is a fictional guideline to life, not a magical book of predictions.

Champions League final.
It's a pity the ref didn't give the advantage to Barca when Lehmann assaulted (it was a serious fault, a red card didn't surprise me at all) Ronaldhino. That was a serious mistake, but if Arsenal would've won the game after all, few people would be so agitated about it. The ref did, IMHO, fine the rest of the match, even when he gave a free kick in the 36th minute to Arsenal when Puyol didn't really did anything wrong. It was the sideline ref who raised his flag, so the ref must've believed that it really was a fault. Being a neutral viewer, I really enjoyed the match and though I always support the underdog, which was Arsenal without Lehmann, I must say Barca deserves the trophee.
