What Makes a Swear, a Swear?
And once again OT proves to me it's populated by asshats. You managed to bring religion into a post that had nothing to do with it. Same can be found in just about every thread. Thread hijack: (...looks at 2nd page...) SUCCESSFUL How ironic. You yourself fall into this generic-user trend: being "that user" making an off-topic and provoking rant for one of a few dozen possible reasons. But what am I doing right now? Is history not repeating itself for the billionth time on these forums, and my efforts to disprove your logic just as futile as your opinion about this hackneyed attack on religion? You obviously like these forums, but don't look down on an opinion just because of its overabundance, because you'll find a lot of it everywhere if you have that mentality. Let people have their opinions and attempt to rationalize their viewpoints, this way you are looking at the substance. Everyone and everything is generic in its own special way. :D

What Makes a Swear, a Swear?
The internet is your friend guys: :mrgreen: Saying that, all words affiliated with "profane" behavior aren't going to be considered cuss words. A word must ferment in a society and evolve through time until it is widely known and dispensed colloquially. This reminds me of memes :twss:.

Any random occurances today? Post them here!
This could just go under the "Today..." thread. viewtopic.php?f=10&t=755361 But I guess it wouldn't be the same if it was specified only on the humor, rather than the experience. OT: Today me and some buddies drove to a top of Mt. Pisgah and had grilled some lunch. After that on a hike we ran into some older-folk on an overlook. We decided to mess with them, and one of my friends picked up a flower and asked one of the older ladies what kind of flower it was. After he asked her, and while these old-folk were still there, we ran back all the way to our cars screaming. Not totally sure why, but it was lulzy.

HijackThis Help (Browser hijacked) - Can Be closed
Its actually F8 that brings you to safe-mode. If that doesn't work, and you can't do a virus scan or can't get it to update you have two practical options: Reinstall OS: Backup any files you need before hand, put in a new OS disc, format the drives and presto - default'd computer. or Buy a external hard drive hub, SATA or IDE depending on what type of bus your hard-drive is. Hook the infected hard drive into a different computer at your house then scan it individually, attempting to eradicate all malware.

Summer Goals
Its funny, I remember posting some pretty hard goals last summer, then completing them simply due to the raw hours I pumped into them. GL all, and remember it is not a race. :thumbup:

Badassery
He is a bad [wagon], he does all his own stunts and often injures himself in the process. :thumbup: Nothing compared to fearless sword-wielding bagpipe-warriors, or people getting shot ten times, walking up to the shooters and killing them with their bare hands after just recently climbing up an ice-cliff.

Lets make some pillow talk
Ever since I was a child I have used down-pillows. You see, much like the human eye is immutably beautiful no matter who it belongs to, any brand of down-pillow is just as comfortable as the next. It is a truly undiscriminating kind of comfort that is rare to find in almost anything anymore.

Nuclear Weapons
While of course it would be ideal for no creature to possess a power that can truly destroy the planet, they are a necessity in terms of the existence a national hierarchy. We as Americans need nuclear weapons because other countries have them, and so we remain a powerful nation. Nothing really insightful to say about the topic, seems pretty clear-cut to me.

Paradoxes
I like the paradox brought about by the definition of omnipotence. If someone was omnipotent, wouldn't they have the ability to spawn a sandwich too large for them to eat? But at the same time, their omnipotence allows them to eat any thing of any size. So it comes down to whether they cannot eat or make this sandwich; either way, I find this word interesting as it contradicts its very definition.

How do YOU dance?/Dance experiences
My dancing consists of random twitchings of body parts, jumping, kicking, punching, headbanging, spinning, hand motions, and sliding on my feet, none of which I do in public.

Drinking - shots
Hold on a f***** minute, don't bring spicy food into this, that is totally different (at least for me). I grew up eating spicy food, and spicy as opposed to sweet, salty, etc. is my favorite taste. I love stimulating the senses to such an extent, and I love the taste of most peppers. You are comparing a poison to the body to something genuinely healthy. Just because your friends brag about how many jalapeno slices they can eat before gulping down their glass of milk, doesn't mean that spicy foods are eaten mostly for bragging purposes.

Language
I am proficient at speaking, reading and writing Spanish, and I speak English fluently. There has been a "what languages do you speak?" thread before btw. But as for tips...go into a situation where you are forced to talk in it, and don't verge into your home-language. You won't be anywhere near fluent in a language unless you subject yourself in an Italian speaking environment (going to Italy for a few months). Why Italian? Mandarin, Spanish, and even French would be more useful on a population-basis.

I need some help with a Concentration Camp Project..
Most of your questions seem really stupid. You don't interview someone to get information you could have easily gotten off a google search; you ask them their feelings, opinions and perceptions of things. You ask them about their experiences, their story, etc.

Greatest Cause of Human Misery
I hate when people pull the objective/subjective type argument in attempts to totally nullify the opinion of others, it happens quite often. Human misery is a perceptive emotion, we declare things as miserable, they aren't just objectively miserable. So the very reason I made this thread comes to relevance: to share the perceptive opinions of our views on humanity and where we, as individuals, think the greatest cause of misery lies. We invented the word, have the right to define it and give opinions on it. If we take your path and wait to ask philosophical, anthropological, or sociological questions only when humans as a whole "understand themselves" as you put it, then what is the point of asking questions at all. There is no "understanding" that can be grasped that would remove some giant intellectual handicap from the human race, questions are made the be answered. No need for such excessive attempts to find an objective purpose, answer or meaning behind anything in the natural world.
