Game-crazy teenagers "lose sleep"
What happens if you can't save it until a certain point, then suddenly the game console shuts down just before your first save point comes up? It just won't work. I really doubt parents care about your save points being missed. It teaches the kids to watch the clock and make sure he saves a few minutes before it shuts off.

Game-crazy teenagers "lose sleep"
Maybe their parents need to KICK THEIR LITTLE [wagon]. I had a bed-time of 9 PM until I was like 14, at which it went to 10 PM. The entire time I was in school, probably until I was almost 17, I never broke this "bed-time". Around then I started staying up an extra half-hour to watch South Park. ...And my parents are extremely non-strict...I can't even imagine the lack of parenting it takes to not be able to get your kids to go to sleep at night. I'd imagine it's something like this: Parents: Go to bed, Jimmy. Jimmy: Okay, mom and dad! Gee, you sure are swell! What would I do without you guys? Parents: Oh, Jimmy...You're such a lovely child. How about a new iPod! Jimmy: Yay! Thanks mom and dad! *Exit parents, to their room to sleep soundly* Jimmy, to himself: Idiots. *Jimmy commences staying awake until 4 am and not getting up for school 7 days out of the month until he drops out and gets a job at Kinko's, which he's fired from because he's not qualified.* You have to watch your kids, or they don't listen. My mom would come in every night a little after 10 (she'd tell me to get ready for bed around 9:45-ish) to see if I was asleep..I almost always was, so she'd go to bed. If I wasn't she'd keep coming back in until I was. And again, my parents aren't strict and barely cared about what I did.

Homosexuality: Right or Wrong?
Whoa, whoa, whoa...There is a big difference between accepting Jesus and being a Christian. You can accept Jesus and not be a Christian. I feel no need to label myself into a group of people I largely despise for their hypocracy and general stupidity about pretty much EVERYTHING they talk about due to the fact that their minds are clouded by their own interperetations of the Bible. Most "Christian" religions today (rather, all...I can't think of one that's really that decent, though Jehova's Witnesses do realize that todays holidays are stolen from Pagan idealogy and thus do not celebrate them because they originally had nothing to do with Jesus or God in general, plus, they don't tell their kids they're going to Hell just to scare them into being good and obeying them, which is admirable - infact, they don't believe in Hell) are false religions which have slowly evolved from something they were in the past, which was likely "good", into what they are today, which is "bad" due to their leaders over the generations raping the idealogy with their own interperitations of the Bible and whatnot. *Ahem* Once again, you fail to see the point. You keep continuing to say your crusade is against the act, not the person...Even if that were the case, which it isn't...Why would that all of a sudden make it "better" in anyones eyes? You're still suppressing people's way of life just because they disagree with yours, which is wrong. How would you like it if every Muslim country invaded and overtook your country and banned Christianity because they think it's "wrong"? You'd still want to practice it, but they'd not let you. Is that fair? oh, of course...It's only fair when you're not the one losing anything. I ask again, why can you not just let gay people live their lives? They do not hurt you in the least bit, no matter how icky you think it is to look at them. My question still remains unanswered - Why are you not crusading to make lying, adultery in general, worshipping God's besides yours, worshipping of idols, using God's name in vein, not remembering the Sabbath day or disrespecting your parents - all of which today are completely legal, but against God's commandments - illegal? Why only homosexuality? I think the answer is clear, and your guys' avoidance of the question is humorous. Saying "We're not against the people, only the act!" isn't an answer, it's a terrified cop-out. If striving for righteousness is what you wish for, perhaps parading around acting like you're above others, persecuting people for their lifestyles, etc etc, isn't the way to go about it. If you see two dudes kissing, perhaps the wrong course of action for God to see you in a "good" view is to sneer and say "Those people disgust me.", for I'm sure that would likely make God disgusted in you. Perhaps instead, you should approach them and tell them about Jesus. If they care not to hear it, then at least you've tried and perhaps planted a seed in their head that will make them think, even! But if they see you sneering and being disgusted by them, they will eternally be turned off by you, and subsiquentally, your fellow people's way of life. They will despise you as you despise them. Or as you say, their "act". :roll:

The official World of Warcraft thread.
Their servers have been gettin' kinda' crappy lately. For some reason - and I don't know why at all - I've been getting like 4 to 13 FPS while playing. That's unplayable. Try it sometime. Usually I have 20 to 25 FPS, which is absolutely fine. Then, like every 4 hours, I'll [bleep]e up to 40 FPS (which I never run at normally) for like 10 seconds, then back to 3 FPS. Basically, I hate Blizzard. :P

PS3 Wii or 360 !!!!!!
I'm just kinda' finding it cute that he said Resistance was the best military game ever (looks like a run-of-the-mill FPS to me!) and said Gears of War was "ok". Whatever. He's totally got some nuts in his mouth that taste oddly like leather and Gold Bond. The calling card of a CEO.

Help with my 360.
Make sure your cables are in really good. I plugged in all my cables and the plug-in to the back was just a TINY bit loose and it gave me the red lights of doom. I was like WTF? But I pushed it in and all was okay. :P Otherwise, ship it off and get a new one. You have 3 years...No rush!

Homosexuality: Right or Wrong?
Uhhh...Jehova's Witnesses frown upon it aswell... Completely serious question I just thought of: If you guys against homosexuality - based on what the Bible says - are truely not hateful little bigot's, then why is it that you aren't also rallying for making adultery in general illegal? How about lying? Lying shouldbe illegal too. The Bible says so. And before you cop-out and say "Lawl, everyone lies...How would you control that law?" I can only then say, if everyone lies (you included), who are you to judge some dude kissing another dude? You're no better. I'm pretty sure God didn't list the 10 commandments in order of least to most severity of committence or visa-versa. What, lying is acceptable just because you partake in it, or what? Sounds like hypocracy to me, and I thought God frowned upon being a hypocrite...Meh. Oh well. But seriously, you guys are all bigots, and it's kinda' embarassing to watch you try to explain why you're not. I like to watch Christian leaders on TV... Reporter: Why are you rallying against gays? Christian d00d: We aren't rallying against anyone. We're rallying FOR marriage! *sly smile, as if he's the first one to think of it because he's infinately clever* Reporter: But, you're... Christian d00d: Nope. Reporter: You completely deny that you're rallying against... Christian d00d: Yep. Reporter: So you're for gay marriage, then? Christian d00d: No, we're for marriage. Reporter: Yea, gays want to get married. Christian d00d: Yes, and that is what we're against, because marriage should be between a man and a woman. Reporter: So again, you're against gay marriage? Christian d00d: No, we're for marriage. Reporter: *Sigh* Swear to god something like that was on CNN the other day. The reporter didn't sigh, they just cut the interview and went along. It's really embarassing to watch, the whole time the Christian dude has a stupid smug, clever smile on his face, as if he's fooling anyone. Yes Tigra, your the first one to notice us evil little christians scheming in the background. I don't know how you figured it out or how it got passed you..! :roll: Please, I know not all christians are very intelligent or come off as blind faith, but stop using sterotypes that we are all like that, stupid and hateful. Most christians (most because I cannot speak for everyone), do not hate gay people, they hate the act of it. Thats like if your mom enjoyed killing people, you would tell her to stop, not because you hate her, but because the act she is doing is wrong. Christians believe the act of homosexuality is wrong and therefor go against the act, not the person of the act. Now your saying "why not just let them do it?", well maybe we should just let them kill people? Are you gay Tigra? I would say no because you have a girlfriend, but why are you vouching for people to do those things? I don't want to go to a restaurant and see two guys making love moves at each other. Thats disgusting. Thats a natural reaction from my body, not just something I decided to say "Well I don't like it so i'll feel disgusted everytime I see it". No, it comes naturally, and i'm sure most men have the same reaction. And its not hating anyone, if I see two gays, i'm not out to get them, and try to make their life miserable, I just hate what they are doing. Its sickening and to say something like that is Okay and Right is pathetic IMO. Every child has the right to a mother and father. To have two of the same gender as a parent is stupid IMO. You lose one role in the house such as father provider/worker or the other nuture/loving moms. This does not mean the kid will come out defective or bad, but to say he cannot have a mom/dad just because two guys/gals wanted to get with each other is wrong. You can keep claiming homsexuality is right but I will keep comming back at you and say its wrong because it is and its obvious to see why. You really must have to look hard in the mirror everyday and say "homsexuality is right" tons of times to convince yourself of that one. ~Defender~ Who said you all were stupid and hateful? I asked a question, and said that if you cannot provide an adequate answer, then you're just a bigot who is against homosexuals for no other reason than it disturbs you because you think it's "icky". What do you know, that's exactly how you responded. It was all "me, me, me!" in your responce. It "sickens YOU", it "disturbs YOU" it's "disgusting to YOU". Since when did we all get on our knees and bow to your awesome will and power? I can't recall this event taking place, and until it does, kindly stop acting as if the world should get on it's knees and beg you for enlightenment. Again, I ask...Why do you not rally to make the other 10 commandments illegal? Lying, adultery in general...Why are they not being rallied to be made illegal in law? I'll tell you why...It's because people who rally against homosexuals (and make no mistake, it IS against homosexuals, not FOR marriage between a man and a woman, that's BS) do not like homosexuals. You're the prime example and you didn't even know it, apparently. You say you don't want to go into a resturaunt and see two gay dudes kissing because you think it's disgusting. Well, good for you. I'd probably find it odd if I saw it at first because I'm not used to seeing it - it isn't the norm - but I'm not going to sneer as if I'm better than them and say they're filthy. You, sir, are a bigot. As are your comrades here. You are apparently oblivious to it though, and surely, you always will be save for some enlightening event happening, which is unlikely. Perhaps two gay men will be kissing in an alley you happen to get mugged in and they'll help you out and you'll think they're not so bad afterall. Doubt it, but whatever. I'm pitiful because I find nothing wrong with gay people being happy together? Look, you're the pitiful one here. You're one of the R-tards who want to keep these people from being happy just because you're "disgusted" by the sight of them! How does that make YOU right and me "pitiful"? Look, I'm not gay, but apparently you think I have to be in order to see a gay point of view (you pondered on if I was gay or not for defending gays, good job...), which is another sign of your bigotry. You think that in order to understand a human issue, I must be takin' it in the butt from said issue. You're the pitiful one, dude. The thing is - gay people aren't hurting you. What you're trying to do is the equivalent of banning ugly people from kissing because you don't want to see ugly people because they're "icky". Why aren't you rallying against ugly people? Don't they disgust you? Oh, right...You just have something against GAY people. Hmm, seems you're singling out a group of people, here...What do they call that, again? I totally, totally forget. :roll: I like your sarcsam. You think Christians "scheming in the background" is being sarcastic. I don't. You may not scheme in the background, but only because you do not have the power or authority to do so - but all of your leaders do. I can't think of a damned decent one of your leaders. Not a single one. With the slew of hate-mongers, war-mongers, apocolypse-worshippers, zionists, theives, gold-diggers, scammers, false prophets and preachers who preach hate against gays and then go out and smoke meth and hump gay dudes ('Sup, Ted?), I seriously can't think of a decent one alive. They're all disgusting to me. But the difference between you and I is that I let them run around doing their thing. I can talk bad about them all I want and that just makes me an [wagon], but you, on the other hand, want to talk bad about AND persecute a group of people, stripping them of their rights! I've said it 1,000 times here, banning gay marriage is unconstitutional and that is the bottom line. You're denying legitimate couples the right to tax breaks that they deserve just as much as the next couple. Just because they're Ted and Steve instead of Ted and Julie doesn't make a damned bit of difference. As for gay people having kids - who the hell said anything about that being right OR wrong? Gay people really don't have any right to have kids. They can't have them themselves, they can only adopt them or get them via surogate mothers, the former being a process in which an angency can easily say "Umm, children do better with a mom and dad" and have that be that. The latter, I'm not sure about. But whatever, either way, I'd rather trust my kid to an entire football field filled with gay dudes than with one singular Christian family...I have a feeling he'd grow up and be a lot less [bleep]ed up in the head. Isn't it sad that I can say that with absolute seriousness? Sorry, I don't want my kid growing up calling himself a "warrior of god" and all this other [cabbage]. Christians are turning their kids into what Muslims do to their kids to combat Muslim extremism themselves (as if that'd work...there is one major flaw - YOU CAN'T KILL ANYTHING, IT'S AGAINST YOUR RELIGION!) and it's ridiculous. At least with a bunch of gay dudes, my kid can still grow up and be straight. Maybe he wouldn't even miss having a mom...I mean, a lot of gay dudes are pretty damn feminine. Stop sticking your fingers in your ears and saying "LALALALALA!" when people try to talk to you. No one is trying to even prove homosexuality is "right" or "wrong" as a natural thing, you're the only one trying to do that. Is it natural? Who gives a damn. It sure isn't supernatural, is it? Didn't think so. What we're arguing is that gay people are gay weither you like it or not, and you CANNOT persecute them just because your book says it's "wrong". Your book means absolutely nothing to a majority of the population, and you REALLY need to learn that. And I don't look at myself in the mirror and say "Homosexuality is right!" ever. Never have. I don't have to. All I know is that it's very, very wrong to stick your nose where it doesn't belong and try to control people's lives. These people are people too. They have lives and they just want to be happy, and you just won't have it. Know who else used to do that? The Ku Klux Klan...The Nazi's...All the blacks/jews wanted was to just chill and be happy, and the KKK/Nazi's (respectively) ran around killing them. Essentially, you're doing the same, and I stick to what I said and always will - you are a bigot.

Homosexuality: Right or Wrong?
I fully understand and accept the other cultures out there, we're actually asked to in the Bible. Now if I could make one thing clear out of all my posts on this thread is the fact that I accept the people and that being how they are, whether they were born like that or made that personal decision its irrelevant. But that doesn't mean I have to accept their action. There's a clear difference there, and I'm not going to point it out again considering we had this discussion 2 pages back. In today's society it doesn't. Didn't I already make that clear early on? :? Yet am I not allowed to disagree with the act due to my religious beliefs but still accept the person? Oh and Tigra well done on showing up my stupid comment. I must admit I didn't think through it clearly, and made a spontaneous comment, and will forever be hurt that my credibility on an internet forum has been destroyed. I'm sure its going to deeply affect me emotionally in the real world. Good flame, either way, I enjoyed it. :wink: Just havin' fun.

I'M TRYING TO LOOSE WEIGHT! WANNA HELP??
Don't do anything the FDA recommends. They're not there to help you. I'm pretty sure they recommend drinking like 4 glasses of milk everyday, and milk is full of growth hormones they give to cows to make them fat. But anyways... Use being overweight to your advantage. Start lifting weights. Fat converts to muscle, and people who are fat and then work out can get absolutely ripped really fast. Go all-out and get a gym membership if you have to, just make sure you use it. Stay away from soda. Never drink it again. Avoid processed/prepackaged foods. Don't starve yourself. It's the worst thing you can do. Never eat after 6 PM. Etc etc. I mean start reading the nutrition labels on the back where it has all those percantages...and i thought he wanted to lose weight, not become super-ripped? If you want to lose fat and gain nothing, you're quite the "special" person. It recommended he lift weights because he'll lose fat much faster, and he'll get the benefits of muscles. So, why not?

Too easy. Why don't you tell us everything GOOD about it? :lol: I've also heard Bluray is better...Not sure how or why...I heard it can hold more space, or something. That's good. That's spiffy. That's super. But it isn't worth several hundred dollars no matter what it does. a DVD player is like $30. An HD-DVD player is cheap too. A Bluray player? Not sure how much they are right now, but like 8 months ago I can remmeber someone saying they were like $800. Uuuhhh...It better have sex with me for that much money. I'm sure they're less now (the cost of manufacturing them has even dropped $100), but still. And the PS3 hasn't dropped in price. They're having a "clearance" for the 60MB HD versions. They're trying to get rid of them. The 80MB unit will cost $600, again.

You don't know how you thought of it because you didn't. The theology has been around forever, it's called "soul mates". Anyways, unless the souls are placed within the same area as eachother so they can meet, it apparently doesn't work. Most people don't meet their parter far away. I did, but that's just me.

Homosexuality: Right or Wrong?
Holy crap, did you guys see that thing the just flew out the window? It looked kinda' like Eels' credability. What was left of it, anyways. I almost missed it it was so small, shriveled and dried up. However, the screams for help and salvation from this madman were hard to miss. Poor thing. RIP, Credability. We never knew him. Prostitution hurts no one...It's the quote of the century. No, not because it was a genius literary masterpeice, but because it was so goddamned retarded that "retarded" didn't feel like enough to call it, I actually had to have an almighty deity "damn" it officially for it to be enough. See? I got the seal of approval right here. *Slap* Ha. You totally fell for that one. Prostitution hurts EVERYONE involved. Every single prostitute, every single customer, and even some people who don't wish to be involved at all. The vast majority of prostitute have STD's, and so do their customers, passed from one to another, surely. That's just the OBVIOUS negative effects. Then, there are the weird freakin' dudes who demand the younger girls. Oh yea, we're not talking 18 year olds here, we're talking 6 to 17 year olds, but generally speaking for this example, it's probably more like 6 to 13. Yes, we're talking about the girls sold and kidnapped and forced into sex slavery! Wooo! That surely doesn't hurt those little girls. Infact, I'd wager they signed the permission slip for that little adventure! Free STD's, self-degradation, NO self-esteem, because, honestly, forget about having low self-esteem, they wouldn't have any at all, and finally, the years of doing it all for nothing. Yes, I can think of no better way to spend my childhood...Being raped several times per day before I'm even able to comprehend what the HELL is going on! But no matter, it hurts no one. Afterall, Eels said it doesn't, and the Bible is on his side...See, it says right here...Homo's are evil, and prostitution is...Oh wait, nevermind, it doesn't say that's fine. Crap. Dear Almighty God in Heaven, why do you allow such retards to follow you? I look to the sky and beg you for the enlightenment. Why do the lemmings flock to you and chant your teachings, obviously knowing nothing and being too damned stupid to understand it? Why couldn't you have made them atheists? Why couldn't you pick the smart ones to follow you? I'm entirely uncapable of believing fully in you due to my intellect, but for some reason, you reward the stupid. I ask you, O' merciful God, why must you torture the better of us? I can think of only one answer to which God would reply to me: "Evolution, my child. If you listen carefully, the stupid ones are against Evolution, and they are my followers. They have not evolved. YOU, however, have evolved, thus, I must hate you with them. Sorry, I'm kinda' a fad guy." and then God would flip his emo-comb-over out of his eye, only for it to fall back down in front of it, to which he would bite his lip ring in frustration. Stupid emo's. Sorry...I like to have fun while making fun of the disabled. Would you punch a handicapped kid in the face? Of course not, that's mean. You'd roll him down a hill in his wheel-chair and hope he had fun, because if he did...You did him a favour! It's a 50/50 chance, really.

Homosexuality: Right or Wrong?
@ Your first statement. Thankyou I'm glad you accept my views and way of life, exactly like you accept a homosexuals way of life. I'm glad there's no hypocrisy there. @ Your question. My answer to that is I believe whole-heartedly that homosexuality doesn't contribute to the good of society in anyway, and this act increasing won't help society as a whole in anyway. Its not making society more selfish, all of society as a whole is contributing to it becoming a more selfish generation. Hopefully we change this trend in our Western Societies but I'm quite pessimistic about it. The same could be said for you speaking in general. Something doesn't have to be for the betterment of society in order for it to be done, you know. Video games don't make society any better, but you play them. Cigarettes don't help society, but people smoke them still. You people are completely ignoring the fact that banning homosexual marriages is unconstitutional and going straight to, "But...the Bible says...", you know what? Who cares. Who cares what the freakin' Bible says. It also says to stone [bleep], something I'm sure you wouldn't take part in, would you? And if you're going to go to the whole "The new testament made that unecessary" crap, then hows about this...The new testament doesn't say squat about a guy doin' a guy. It's all about Jesus and his love for humanity, which you are completely ignoring and replacing with blatant homophobia. There's nothing wrong with gay people getting married just because you don't like it or because the Bible says it's icky. The bible says a lot of stuff, and a lot of it is crap.

The ps3 will come out on top acording to gamespot.
What's funny is that the PS3 is an inferior GAMING console no matter how much they spent or sell it for. The 360 is just better. It's been tested against the PS3 over and over and the 360 always wins, even if it's only by a 'smidge. The only reason the PS3 is so expensive to make and sell is because it has that [developmentally delayed]ed [wagon] Bluray player in it, because it's Sony technology, and Sony had to find a way to push it. Too bad their losing there, too, though...It's just funny how people think that because it's more expensive, it must run and play games better. It doesn't. Not necessarily, anyways. Like I've said here before, it was tested against the 360 when it launched and the 360 ran all the games they tried better than the PS3. They looked better and stuff. The PS3 is more of a home entertainment thing...You CAN play games, but it seems they made it 70% about games and 30% about other junk it does like play movies, whereas on the Xbox, the fact that it plays movies was just a bonus and it's focus is wholey on games. Sony themselves have even said indirectly that it wasn't just for playing games. They tried to get it registered as a computer system so they could cut shipping costs. They failed, but they still marketed it as some "computer" system. Why do you think people who attack the 360 only attack it's hardware failures? Because that's the only thing really wrong with it, and even then, it isn't all of them. Mine, for instance, hasn't broken. What's sad is that they could have made an awesome console if they skipped that whole Bluray junk and just put more useful stuff into it. But even that wouldn't of helped, apparently...Xbox360 has 528MB of shared RAM, the PS3 has 256MB of two different sorts, meaning they have to pick and choose what they can put in the game and what they can't...Either graphics or sound, they can't do both. PS3's interface thing also takes up like 80MB of that or something I've read, and the 360's takes up like 40. This is very, very bad for the PS3. The PS3's games are inferior to the 360's because they're forced to be.
