CONGRATS GOOD TO HEAR MORE INTELLIGENT MINDS BEING ADDED TO THE TEAM

Some logos on polo's scream highschool to me like american eagle or hollister, but there's nothing wrong with the occasional logo from Burberry or Lacoste (that's if you're showing logo's. I agree you're better off unbranded). While I usually save them for the spring/summer, I own quite a few polo's myself.

I don't really like any of your pairs of shoes, Adam.
Your avatar is a stupid pokemon.

SO.... I don't know where to put this... it's been so long...
However, I have been separated from my ex fiance' for a year now and have been dating somebody else for the last 6 months.
Do you think being together for a year is too soon to get re-engaged if you love one another?? (I have put him through trials such as changing [cabbage]ty diapers and bathing).
In the end you're going to follow your emotions but I would still say to wait and avoid potential heartache. That's my logical advice though, and logic doesn't mix with love. I'm going to say slow down, wait it out, and let life catch up a little bit. The last thing you want is to develop a reputation for quickly jumping into marriages that lead to divorce.

So chinstraps are popular now?

Just got this new pair of shoes that I'm absolutely loving:

I feel kind of gross, I haven't showered all year.

Can we change the name of this thread to just "Relationship Advice"? Aside from being slightly sexist, every time I gloss over the title it reminds me: The number one way to ensure you won't get a girlfriend is with that mindset. No guy ever gets a girl because he is seeking to enter a relationship. In fact, the majority of girls will not admit this, but that is a turn-off to most of them. Most people don't want what they know they can easily have. So it's a bad idea to play the game with a "I want a girlfriend mentality." Whether or not you're conscious of it, most girls can tell when you think they're unattainable, and that mindset guarantees it.

True Grit - Kind of enjoyable but I wasn't crazy about it. You're not missing anything if you don't see it.
Agreed. It was the type of movie that while walking out of the theater you and all your friends agree was solid, but know the next day in retrospect you won't really have much good to say about it.

See an osteopathic physician who has experience with TMJ.

Already excited for season two also! Loved both the closure the finale gave for the initial characters and their plotlines as well as the lead-in for the story of the next season.

Over winter break I have seen so far:
The Fighter - Pretty solid movie. The actors played very convincing roles and told a great (true) story about addiction, success, and family.
True Grit - A little corny for me. Had really high expectations and was let down. I enjoyed the style and the light humor, but I was expecting much more.
Black Swan - Aronofsky delivers once again. Very thought-provoking. Really explores the human psyche from a unique perspective.
@Mask: I struggled with that too. Big time.

Well, almost flipped my car driving home from work because I thought it would be smart to drive in the rain. Points for me?
How do you almost flip your car because it's raining outside?
He was doing his usual intense stunt course, followed by a jump off a cliff, three full loops and a jump through a flaming hoop and some giant scissors.
The rain made it slightly more dangerous.
Completely understandable.

Vaguely remember you. But I'm still here. Always been.

It's entirely possible that one person started a rumor and then it just snowballed out of proportion. That being said, I quit playing runescape when they removed free trade because I enjoyed merchanting. If I had nothing but time to kill, such a change might bring me back to playing again.

I was recently accepted into two medical schools.

A good writer does not need to be understood, but should understand grammar before attempting anything sketchy.
A good writer does not need to be understood, only to an extent. That being, if he/she makes up for it by being profound or raising new questions. While I would agree most great writers understand grammar, many great writers became famous for breaking the rules. What is accepted in literature is always changing thanks to great writers who push the envelope.
You have to know the rules to break them.
Generally, yes. But always? I'm not sure, it's a great topic for debate.

More than half of my English class was convinced that pronouns were proper nouns. :wall: :wall: :wall: And the teacher had to call on like 5 people before someone knew what an adverb was.
I learnt all that stuff for the 3 years I had to take tests about it. When you stop having a teacher constantly reminding you about the different kinds of words, you will know what an useless knowledge it is and you will forget about it in no time. I mean, as long as you know how to create a proper sentence, there's no need in knowing what kind of word is each one of those.
Exactly. I never got the damn importance of these things. When you're building a lego house, you don't examine and test the quality of the brick, you just get the two by two yellow block and move the [bleep] on.
But if you're building a real house, you better pay attention to the type of block. There's a reason only kids and really cool people play with Legos.
Again, building a real house would be writing a dictionary. Which then you would HAVE to know what part of speech it is.
Though for general writing, books, articles, I've never come across the importance of the part of speech. Poems and songs, if they're structured like that might have a use, but the majority do not.
On the contrary, professional writers should understand parts of speech if they wish their writing to be grammatically correct.
Conversely, grammatically correct writing is not required of a professional writer for their works to be successful if still well understood.

Not relevant to my life today but I'm noticing a depressing trend in topics in OT:
"The End of the World. What would you do?"
"What are your reasons of living?"
"People Who Secretly Have No Life"
"Worst way to die"
What, is it time to make a sticky about death? It's the holidays, don't be so melancholy.

Congrats you both!

Heated argument and debate aren't flaming in my book. But that's another issue. We have these discussions using key words like "flaming" and "trolling" but we have completely different definitions for them (side note, most people completely misunderstand what trolling actually is). But to the point, intense argument is completely acceptable and should be encouraged. If you have reason to believe someone is completely wrong about something, go ahead and refute them using your evidence/experience. What puzzles me is why you even consider throwing names at people. The second I see a person name-calling, everything they just said is discredited in my eyes. You can't debate/argue while attacking the person you're debating with. It removes your own objectivity from the topic you're debating.
certain people on these forums say things which don't even merit argument. there's really no point in arguing with them or proving your point because they don't even appeal to logic; all they do is throw names at you. these kinds of people are few and far between, thankfully, as they provide barely anything productive to the board.
for a post or thought which one actually respects, i agree with you.
Then ignore (or report, if you think it's necessary) them. By insulting them back you're letting them bring you down closer to their level.
