One night last summer some huge dude picked up a huge post (portable ones used to form lines in front of clubs), except this one had a huge cement base. He started swinging it around and stuff, dunno what happend come to think of it. My attention was on some girl. Anyways, cat fights back in highschool were worse than everything else i've experienced. Not the sexy ones

How do you kill a moose without a gun? Hunting is good, hunting people is bad (but makes for a great movie). You lure it out of it's igloo and run it over with your skidoo, duh. Tourist.

I was only introduced to time dilation two weeks ago in class, and I must agree with Assassin: there's no way people in elementary or even high school will understand any of this stuff. Even the mention of length contraction or slowing down time will blow this minds. A couple of my friends didn't understand the concept until just the other day, and they're pretty smart! And just to backup Assassin again, I don't see anything wrong with presenting generalized models to younger students. It's what helped me compare the nuances with all the new quantum physics. Without that strong foundation of Newton's Laws or the simplified model of an atom, quantum physics introduced "straight-up" would make me cry.

Since I always relate everything back to Canada: The way I see it is that here in Quebec, guns are banned, and the rate of deaths by firearms is lower than in the US, where guns are legal. Of course people still have guns here, that's not the point. Hmmm... let's see. So, no guns = less deaths... yet people still argue guns should be legal. Sorry, I just don't get it :|

Misfiring a nuke is a contradiction within itself - the process is probably the most watched and secured operation on the planet. Laser defense satellites could blow up a nuke before it even leaves the launcher's country. Of course, you could explode the laser satellite before, but there's too many James Bonds nowadays

Who are you kidding, outside Quebec, nobody gives a [cabbage] about you guys Following your trend of being a dirt-bag: Us french are the ones who colonized Canada. Everyone in the West are descendants of those rich pansies who fled to us during the US Revolution. Without Quebec, there would be no Canada. -

Pretty much. The rest of this topic's replies are basically going to be about people not understanding Reb's post

Nope. There's always a population size limit, and ours it around 15billion. So, if you'd look at a graph of the human population, it wouldn't be an exponential "J" curve, but an "S" curve. Which means that, when we're around 15bil, competition over resources will take place and not everybody will have the opportunity to live. We're already tearing the fabric of our planet's ecosystem, ruining our environment. So many extinctions are going to take place in the next generation, and our planet, which is providing us with extreme services, is going to suffer. I really don't see any way out of a 6th mass extinction. Drastic action hasn't been taken even after all these studies, and the people who try to help are held down. There won't be any humans left to stand shoulder to shoulder by 2600.

Sylar killed Elle to understand all the secrets she knows. It's not hard, people. Best season 3 ep by far

tell her you like watching her sleep. That'll score FOR SURE I will, when the day comes, as she wakes up next to me in a sunfilled bedroom. Then i'll cook her breakfast, we will go shopping and get married ect. (I haven't watched the movie but i'm assuming that;s the jist of it).

What's the weirdest thing thats happened at your school?
fastortoise replied to Zeddude's topic in Off-Topic
Back in highschool there were auditions for a show, and one of my friends tried out. It was when Family Guy first started catching on, but not everyone knew about it yet. Since he's a moron, he stole each of his jokes from Family Guy. He was pretty much standing in front of a packed classroom telling all the random jokes he could remember, nobody knew what was going on. It wasn't funny, and he just kept going.. nobody stopped him until the lunchbell rang.. it was pretty sad cause he thought he was doing great. AHHH the entire thing is really awkward, and he was angry with me when I got accepted and not him, which added to the pitty+awkwardness. Another weird thing was when, in music class, my friend dared a guy to give the girl sitting in front of him a wedgie. The guy pulled her thong up the her clavicle yet she just sat there, with a smile of satisfaction. I wasn't strangely turned on, I don't think anybody was. No laughter ensued, just eerie silence. Those were my two "kill me it's too awkward" moments (at school.. yes I have more). -
:shock: Oh man, I'd give anything to see them in concert. My "Music in Literature" teacher is totally against all modern music, he's even iffy with some Jazz musicians. Anyways, I played him Vicarious Atonement (for the extremely well done voice & response guitar) and he was actually quite impressed with their music. That pretty much guaranteed my respect for the band right there. I also wanted to discuss Sparta.. Does anybody like their common music or were they better off in ATDI?

I know i'm disrupting the conversation but my favorites are: -Samurai Champloo (for the awesome soundtrack) -Cowboy Bebop Those are the only two Anime I can stand, and even Cowboy Bebop is pushing it a little.

I've noticed many of you enjoy TMV's music, and I was wondering if you knew about their former band ATDI? Their history is long, so tl;dr: At-the-drive-in was emo+experimental. Emos got emo and formed Sparta, which in my opinion, does not hold a candle next to TMV or ATDI. The two experimental musicians from ATDI formed TMV. If you've heard any of the three, I recommend checking out the other 2. My favourite are: -The Mars Volta -At-the-drive-in -sparta Amputechture is my favourite TMV album... I can listen to them jam on the bus all morning even if it smells like BO and some goofball is elbowing my in the back. how about you?

A girl I like in my biology lab kept talking about how super Twilight was as we were isolating DNA. It was a true endurance test for me, but hey, I gotta suck it up if she's gonna repay me in favours. And hey, don't think of Twilight fangirls as brainless and tasteless zombies... they can't help it

I want a Super Nintendo with all the great games I had cause my brother lent all my stuff to his friend and apparently he "broke" it and he can't contact him anymore. That or the said friend, tied to a chair (for punching, nothing more).

THAT'S the one i've been thinking about! Dorian Gray and such good saying :thumbup:

My academic advisor told me today that any University (in Canada i'm assuming) would accept me in any program, except for McGill's medicine course, cause I'd need to do some volunteer work and the MCAT exam. So yea, im doing fairly well :thumbup:

You thought you could sneak in an online shopping addiction on us huh?? No dice Lent. My parents pretty much gave me everything I needed to get a good start in life, and I'll always be grateful. Their freaking insane, though. Both teachers. Try being a student 24/7. Yeah.

In Amsterdam where prostitution is legal, only 10%-30% (I forget the figure) of prostitutes have papers. That means that the government hardly gets any revenue from prostitution, and they clearly will never be able to control it. I think the Swedish system works best. Since women are always the victims in prostitution, the government punishes the customers. That way, severe risks are given to customers and, theoretically, the entire business would become obsolete. The government has a much better control this way because prostitutes travel, not the customers. However, like everywhere in the world, prostitution will always exist no matter what the circumstances. It's sad, and it really sucks, but what can you do :thumbdown:

I live in Montreal Quebec, so i'm only a half hour drive from all the major mountains like Tremblant, Saint-Sauveur, Sutton, ect. I know Tremblant was open this weekend, but I had to go to a party yesterday so I couldn't go. I normally go once every week with friends, my family never goes. I'm also planning on getting a new Rasta board by Technine, and some nice Vans boots. Some of my friends have chalets, so we can have a place to crash when we go for week long trips :thumbsup: I'm spoiled :mrgreen:
