You mean you do not have facial hair? :shock: . (I have a small moustache and traces of a beard as well as some hair under my chin). Gotsa shave it.

No, that's one reason I do not agree with people getting surgery after they are 'past their prime'. They take up more resources they can produce. Therefore, they are useless to our society as a whole. I mean I love my grandma, but if she had some kind of severe illness, I would let God take her (This has not happened to me, so I don't know if I would actually do that). If it is something simple such as a cold, I would obviously help her get better. We have over 6,000,000,000 people on this Earth.

Glad to see somebody agrees. 8-) Shame they're not available in supermarkets yet though. I was being sarcastic. Not sure if you could tell based on your response. I am pretty sure he was. No, I did not see it. :? . Too bad it is Tip.it :P Wait. Take note everyone. For the first time in his life, darkie picked up on internet sarcasm! Hurrah! You know I love you darkie. Three cheers for darkie! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Psst... Don't cheer yet, because it wasn't sarcasm.. They should be sold, wholesale for a discount.. And in walmarts.. Ghostranger: :| ..haha, the small print cracked me up. Nadril: *bow* BlueLancer: No, not walmart. I am not into girls from China.

That is what I think it is. First, you have your introduction. This can be something that catches the attention of your readers. Have some 'stuff' in your intro that is relevant. Then, state the main points you will cover. This sentence is your thesis statement. Start every supporting paragraph of your essay with something from your thesis. If you say you will cover cheezits in your original thesis statement, start your paragraph with something about cheezits. That's completely dependent on the style of paper you're writing. If you're just writing a short essay, then that is a pretty decent method to follow - although it is a very elementary writing style. Longer papers move much further away from that style of thesis statement, and even a paper that is just two pages is going to quit relying on that form of a thesis. I'm not saying you're wrong - because you aren't. But that is only one style of essay writing, and it is normally only used for shorter essays - not papers. So it's kind of dependent on what is being written. I could use that as a thesis statement \ Are you saying this is a thesis statement or not? My point was this: A thesis statement is not an attention getter. It is something that explains what you will talk about. Sub-points of your overall topic if you will. What is a style of a thesis statement for a longer paper? I assume it is still a statement (1 sentence?).

Why? you cant just say that and give nothing to back it up :? Back it up that you can. His post is better than saying it is possible (I am not saying it is or is not).

Burn him. I'll get the fire started. I like TIF. KB isn't as helpful.

Your point is moot (Ghost's word \ ) without anything to support it. I know you are wrong. I want you to find that out yourself. Things can be taken out of context with about everything. You can also do a Google search. If you are going to say Jihad, I have an answer. "Jihad is an Arabic word that means "striving in the way of God." This striving can take a number of forms, including the daily inner struggle to be a better person. However, jihad is often used to refer to an armed struggle fought in defense of Islam. That is what the religion says. So the specific religion of Islam is not one of war. When translated into a holy war, this does not mean an actual war. This means an inner struggle. I hate all those [wagon] who went out and gave my religion a bad name.

Edgar Allan Poe? All his crap is scary with the exception of some of his poems. He was a very...unique type of person. I have read some of his works. In fact, I read the Cask of Amontillado this semester. I read a couple of his short stories last year as well.

My dad does something like that...obviously the exact thing he does is more specific. Graduate high school with close to a 4.0 Get into a good university Learn Arabic Learn to make my own mac&cheese start a small business (this one is questionable)

Agreed. However, I browse BBC (also on firefox's 'latest headlines' tab) and CNN, but that is for general news.

I enjoyed his Ender's game series. Although I have only read two of his books (one of them twice), I still think he is an excellent author. He's fantastic. You should check out "Ender's Shadow," it's the same story but it follows Bean instead of Ender. I have already read that. I am looking to read some of his other books next semester. At the moment, I am reading Great Expectations for school. It is definitely better than A Tale of Two Cities. Then again, that is not saying much.

I could use that as a thesis statement \ Would you agree with something like this: "When technology does work that man could do, it takes away from him, but if technology helps man acheive something he couldn't do before, it helps build man" And then use a similar example to the crane/calculator thing to clear it up? :-k Well anyways, I'm off for the night, I'll be watching this topic up until December 12, when my project is due. (and even later on, until I present). I am trying to impress my teacher with this presentation, and I chose to be the only person in the class to work alone so I can have the whole 15min speach time to myself, because this topic was just screaming at me, seeing as I was the help of Super TIF! on my side. Plus, I don't have to spend time convincing my partners on my positions. That's not a thesis statement. A thesis statement is what you will talk about in order. That sentence would be a good topic sentence in your intro.

But that is really just an excuse. Nowhere in Islam does it say violence is right. It says that you should do anything to convert people to Islam...Even through use of violence. I cannot remember the exact words, but it says something about turning everyone to Islam, even through use of a sword. Quote it in context and we will talk.

Are you from the south...? :shame: My proof. I said yall. people from the south say yall. You said south, meaning people from the south that say yall. You werent talking about south latitude because that would mean youre including people from southern CA or Miami, who do not, in fact, say yall. :D I was just trying to be annoying. You win P.S. It is y'all

Ima give a shot at some elaborate answer.Truth. And, I never said exists specifically.

Y'all should learn to accept when you're wrong over a smegging internet forum. OK...... You were talking about southern culture ( i said yall). It's different :) . Anyway, were waaay off topic now :o However, I just said you are from the south while underlining, bolding, and italicizing the word 'yall'. Prove I was referring to your speech.

That will not work.

However, South is defined as a line of latitude. Therefore you must extend that line across the region (most likely country because we are talking about the southern part of a country).

Humans are finite. We don't know everything, so sometimes we lack sufficient knowledge to decide whether or not something is true. You're correct in this. However, proving something to be untrue is different than lacking knowledge. If we know enough to prove that a statement is not true, then it is false - there is no other option. If we do NOT know enough to prove a statement true or false, then it is potentially true or false - we don't know enough to decide. Do you see the difference? I'm not sure how well I'm explaining this. I somewhat understand. Darn, I have to go read some [bleep]ens....he is so incredibly boring.

Uh...famer..? I am pretty sure he is talking about combat stats. If we weren't I can say Dharok has 99 construction or something...

But the southwest is still part of the south? So, technically, you are! what i was about to say... too lazy though :wink: Meh, you and I are both from the Southwest of Canada. The ranch area...I am from Edmonton. Hi....EH
