What did you get for christmas?
My ever-lasting love and affection. ...Unfortunately, Jesus didn't get me anything. He's kinda' a party pooper like that. I got $150 and a couple shirts...

Do any of you guys work?
I don't have a job at the moment, 'cause some butthole smashed into my car and their insurance company refuse to pay for it...So I have to sue them before I can get a new car, and thus, get to work. Thankfully I still live at home, so it's okay. :P

I must find this game!
Okay, so a year or two back...Sheesh, maybe three now...I found this game. It had to do with Gravitational pull of planets...You took a slingshot and shot a little ball around planets until the ball was looped via planetary gravity into a cup. It was pretty cool and I had a lot of fun with it, but I can't find it now! I found a game kinda' like it, but it was way less fun. Anyone know the game I speak of? I'm hoping someone here does. I think it was just a simple Java/Flash game. I found it about the same time I found "Motherlode", which was made in late 2004, I believe. Anyone know where to find it? flOw and Motherlode are getting old. :(

Eating meat - right or wrong?
Ask a weirdo PETA member if they'd rather eat meat or die. I betcha' most would say they'd rather die. :P

What do you think other tipiters are going to be?
I've assigned myself as CEO of everything, so I too can get an undeserved $100 million Christmas bonus check. America RULES.

Eating meat - right or wrong?
While I'll cheerfully agree that the vegetarian would be malnutritioned in short order - exactly how short depends on what kind of plantlife is in the region, as soy beans for example contains protein - but you are not your ancestor. (And where the heck do you think edible plants come from anyway? Science labs? Of course there's edible plants in the wilds). Unless you intend to lay claim to being the last of the neanderthal - which is fine by me - you are in no way able to classify yourself as primitve man. You're most likely not even able to classify yourself as someone who hunts for food because no, stalking meat counters in local foodstores does not count. In other words, you - no matter what your ancestor's did, what people living in comparatively poor conditions around the globe do today - do not have to. Even ignoring replacing a meat diet completely and just minimizing the consumption of meat to healthy levels, or minimal health levels, you are quite likely to be above what you need in order to survive. A fair portion of the meat you eat is not - again, regardless of what your ancestor's were doing - eaten because you need it in order to survive. I'm not saying it's morally wrong to eat meat in order to survive, I'm saying anyone who refers to nature, primitive man or survival as an argument defending his own meat consumption in a western nation is taking asinine hypocracy to a very special level. Unless they actually do eat only as much meat as they need in order to provide themselves with a healthy diet, which I sincerely doubt most of the people who argued that particular point do. Hmmm... You got me there... What could it possibly be, this elusive ability of ours. I think, I just think, it might have to do with the way our abstract thinking allows us to design ethical codes. Too subtle? I could make the text larger? No? Yes? No? Do we have to, or do we want to? Is your meat consumption at a minimal level to maintain a balanced diet, or do you eat more meat than you really need? Oh please... The first two are breed in mass quantities by us, and have been doing so long their wild relatives are found only in zoo's and the third keeps overpopulating because their natural enemies are big predators we killed off. No, eating meat is not an environmental service. At best, it ranks at a solution to a problem we created for ourselves. Where as the meat you eat is magically conjured, and doesn't involve feeding the cows with plant life. Well, actually, fish is fairly common. It's cheaper to feed cattle fish fished outside the coasts of Africa. The fact that people manage to die from starvation while we waste 90% of the fish (see, as a rule of thumb regarding the food chain, 1kg of meat requires 10kg of food for whatever it is. So 1kg of meat raised on fish requires 10kg of fish, which requires 100kg of whatever the fish lived on. Every step up the chain causes a loss of nine tenth's.) is just a sort of weird twist of fate. Or another reason, completely separate from morality, why eating meat might not be the best of ideas. Again, you only read what you *want* to, not what is actually written. I never said we eat meat because our ancestors needed it to survive. We eat it because it's delicious. I said *IF* you were out, in the wild, trouncing around, you would surely die within the week as a vegetarian. A vegetarian probably wouldn't change his "views" on killing and eating something to survive...They're weird like that. And no, I don't think vegetables are lab-grown. Tell me, young Jedi...What are your chances of finding the ingredients for a salad in the woods? At the very least, you'd need to find some lettuce...Which would likely be impossible in itself, but good luck finding tamato's, too. I think MUSHROOMS would be the only damn thing you could find, and some would be poisonous, so good luck. Did you seriously suggest people eat soy beans straight off the field? Yea, you do that...

Living up to the world view of Americans as loud mouthed idiots who don'y use any evidence but just threaten to use violence on any one they don't agree with... :uhh: :-# :uhh: It was a joke, Captain Moron.
-
Eating meat - right or wrong?
Yes. The only reason some humans see it as "wrong" is because we often do not hunt our meat, we raise them to be killed.
-
Why won't people just tell me the truth? Am i ugly or...
It couldn't be that your friends are just joking around, could it? If other people, who are not your friends, say you're good-looking, and your friends say you're not...You can kinda' guess that your friends are just being stupid. Then again, you should know if you are or not. Just look at yourself.

Eating meat - right or wrong?
Ah yes, as someone who - in a completely industrialized society - choses to eat meat, you would be equipped with all the neccesary tools to survive, should you somehow end up in a situation similar to that of our long-distant pre-agricultural ancestors. Clearly, your modern whiny [wagon] who visits McDonalds and orders a burger is better equipped to survive than the guy who orders a salad. After all, there's meat in your burger! If your diet consists of more meat than you need to maintain a nutritious diet, unless it consists of more meat because of what's available where you live - and no, I don't mean Wal-Mart when I say available - talking about evolution and other animals and how it's the "natural thing to do" just makes you look stupid. The meat you eat was not magically conjured, nor did it live on the savannah, nor did you hunt it down and slay it yourself. It's the product of a highly industrialized, systematic, inhuman (pun intended) exploitation of various animals (In a western country where you're likely to be living to be able to participate in a online discussion). You fail to see the point. Out in the "wild", there are no salads. That is, unless you wish to cut open the stomache contents of a rabbit...Which would be killing an animal anyways. That's about as close as you'll get. We are of course assuming you have the ability to survive in the wild - most people probably don't. But assuming everyone did...A vegetarian would die. There aren't enough good, filling edible things just readily available in plant-form. A lot of vegetarian diets consist of things made by our industrialized world. Assuming early man is even related to us and that Homo-Sapiens were not dropped here by God, our ancestors fought and killed animals, for meat. Surely they ate fruit if they could find any, 'cause if they didn't, they'd get scurvey and die, but when they were trouncing around in the snow, they didn't have the option to make a delicious salad with ranch dressing, did they? No. They speared a deer in the face and ate it. Why? 'Cause they had to. Humans are the only creatures on Earth who understand the concept of murder. Every other animal kills for survival, and I don't see why we're any different. Just because we mass-produce meat? We have to. People need it, there is money in the business, and most people don't know how to hunt. Deal with it. That's how it is. We're the same as animals, we're just MUCH more effecient. We have placed animal cruelty laws, and animals are killed humanely by most companies. Ever notice how PETA never reports on GOOD meat companies? You know, the ones who follow ALL the rules to a T? Yea - it's because that's not part of their propaganda. They don't want a single living thing to die an be eaten. They're unrealistic hippies; and that's being nice about it. Shall I even touch base on animal population control? It isn't like there is a shortage of cows, chickens and deer. Know why? 'Cause there are plenty of those damned animals. Especially deer - if we do not hunt them, they over-populate and spread disease.

Are you a boy or girl?
I take that back...Before South Park, I was not aware that Satan was gay. Expecially not with Saddam Huissan, who is still alive. Huh.
-
Are you a boy or girl?
Okay, well, uhh...I didn't learn anything from South Park. ...9th grade History...
-
Are you a boy or girl?
Yuck. South Park teaches you everything. :XD: Some people are born different. Would you point at a man in a wheelchair and say "Yuck"? And what did South Park have to do with Hermaphrodite?
-
Are you a boy or girl?
I worship Hermaphrodite, if you get my drift. ...Okay, no. I'm a guy.

Eating meat - right or wrong?
Vegetarians wouldn't last a week in a world that doesn't cater to their whiney needs. Our ancestors grew up partaking in the food chain. Is it cruel? No. It's nature. Is it sad that animals die for us to survive? Sure, but again, it's nature. If you were in the wilderness, would you not kill and eat an animal? Or would you just opt to eat twigs and maple leafs? Kinda' hard to make a Caesar Salad in the freakin' woods. *Shrug* I guess that's just my view. Leave your options open and all that. I would not hesitate to strangle a baby deer with my belt if it was me > him, lol. I won't go farther than drinking Soy Milk. I don't drink milk because it has hormones in it from the cows and it's *NOT* good for you at all. Plus, I think Vanilla Soy Milk tastes way better...Milk tastes like thick water to me, lol. No real taste. Soy milk, vegetables and meat have all the calcium I need, and so help me, if someone says I'm going to die from not drinking milk due to lack of calcium, I'm going to sock them in the eye. That's the most brain-washing campaign in all of the food industry, lol.

X-mas traditions!
We don't eat turkey or chicken or duck or nuttin' like that. ...We have home-made taco's. Woot. They're delicious. Just can't buy shells that good in the store. :P No, we're not Mexican either.

Who on TIF do you identify with most?
wow, thats a name i aint heard in a while No kidding, lol.

What does it mean to be in love?
Going to agree with Mr. Sp4de here... Love obviously isn't for marriage. GF/BF couples love eachother all the time. I love my mom and dad aswell. Love is a very deep, connected feeling you have with someone. All it is a deep connection.
-
Why can't people just learn to love?
This is what I'm talking out. Why would you say something like that? I'll try to help you understand... People who cut their wrists are looked upon as worse than people who actually do themselves in. What does cutting acomplish? Nothing. You don't die, and no, you don't feel better, you just have scars. I've cut myself before (not on purpose) and I didn't feel better about anything. I felt like my freakin' cut hurt and I shouldn't get cut again. Granted, I believe some people do cut to "feel better", but these people are NOT right in the head at all. These people also cut their thighs, stomache...basically any part of their body. People who do it to fit in with their buddies only do it on their wrists. That's what I've found, anyways. I knew two girls who cut themselves to the point of scarring all over their body, and they're both currently in a mental institution last I heard. Their friends, however, oddly tried to "fit in" with them and would cut their wrists. I don't understand it, but whatever. If you do cut your wrists, this may be the most important information I give you: Stop it. Just -- No, shh. -- Just stop. Why would you or anyone cut themselves? It doesn't help you cope, it helps you bleed. If you cut yourself, you are not right mentally, and I mean that. You're really NOT right. Anyways, on to the apparent bully: Ignore him. That's the best thing you can do. I was a bully in school (kind of, never to the point of physical violence, only joking around...people who got "bullied" usually deserved it [i.e. a kid touching my friends breasts, but thats another story] though) and if you just ignore the person, they'll leave you alone after a while for the most part. They're looking for a response from you. If you don't respond, they'll move on. If they DO keep at you, I would seriously recommend making a fool out of him infront of everyone. Yell at the top of your lungs something about how he's an unintelligent, neanderthalithic jock with an F average. Bullies hate being made fun of back. They can't take it. If you make him feel dumb infront of others, he'll leave you alone for sure. Trust me, I know from experience here, and while I could have taken it back, I never liked being made fun of for something - NOONE DOES. It was only until after highschool when I realized that obviousness. And again, stop cutting yourself. If you don't and your friend's do, tell them to stop. Tell them to stop being attention-seeking babies. They're your friends and you should give them that respect.

Who on TIF would you msot likely date/hook up with?
Exactly why I asked.
-
Who on TIF would you msot likely date/hook up with?
Girl + boy = GF and BF? :shock: Well, people use the term for different stuff. Meeting, dating...Whatever it may be. Well, being as that I met my girlfriend on RS, uhhh...4 years ago? I guess I'd take that as my choice, but she doesn't use tip.it anymore... Besides that, I guess I'd say Mad4u. It's extremely hard to find smart AND nice girls. Usually they're either hot+dumb, smart+boring, or a combination thereof. I think I've only seen a picture of her once and I don't recall what she looks like, though. :P

Define "hook up".

Barack Obama 08?
I didn't know his history...Uhhh, at all. I don't really have an opinion on if he's experienced or not. Like I said, where's the cut-off for experience? :P
-
Barack Obama 08?
I wasn't aware that was even his middle name...And being someone who usually watches CNN all day, I'd reckon that won't be a huge factor. However, you overlook that his first name is OBAMA. Which just happens to rhyme with a certain someone in this country that everyone hates. Ha, that's funny! I meant to type that, but my keyboard was lagging because I am importing CDs to Itunes. I guess I never checked that it was still there. So yeah, that too. That's great you watch CNN all day. I do not see how that is even relevant. Are you trying to say that if CNN does not report it, it must not be true? I think the name you are looking for is Osama. No, dolt. I'm saying that the average American, who DOES NOT watch CNN all day, will have no idea what his middle name is, obviously, because I - being someone who watches CNN all day - didn't even know it. That's pretty easy to use common sense to decipher. Anyways, whoever said he'll have a hard time defending his inexperience - Are ya' kidding? 70%+ of Americans think our President has NO IDEA how to do his job, and furthermore, is a complete idiot. He'll have no problem simply saying, "Well, most Americans believe George Bush didn't have enough experience, and he was a governer for X years, so what's the cut-off for years of experience to be considered for President?" Yes, I know. I should totally write excuses for politicians.
