[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by sweetreyes [/i] [B] Well although leaders do have people to protect them from war..The people CHOOSE TO FIGHT. They don't have to fight for their country or leader if they don't want to (in some countries at least), but I'm not a political expert and also these people who do fight in wars are not just fighting for the leaders protection but for the protection of their nation, state family friends whoever they wish to protect!!!!! That's the main purpose of the Armed forces...not for the leaders protection( that is except for those who are the personal body guards of the leader!!!!!!! SORRY TO GET OFF SUBJECT!!!! [/B][/QUOTE] I do believe that the Elite DBZ is from england like me.. and I dunno about you, but in WWII, we had a little thing called conscription, whereby you can either fight for your country, or get sent to prison. I think that may be what the elite DBZ was referring to. Damn. I'm off subject too... my favourite leaders? I dont really have any, though i think that Tony Blair ain't really doin a bad job over here considering all the crap the tories left him with.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by ~Mystical Pan~ [/i] [B]During my history class, our teacher read something to my class which made me seriously think how lucky I am...and how lucky most of you really are?please read all of this: A glimpse of the world? If we could shrink the earth?s population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, It would look something like the following: There would be: 57 Asians 21 Europeans 14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south 8 Africans 52 would be female 48 would be male 70 would be non-white 30 would be white 70 would be non-Christian 30 would be Christian 89 would be heterosexual 11 would be homosexual 6 would possess 59% of the entire world?s population and all 6 would be form the U.S. 80 would live in substandard housing 70 would be unable to read 50 would suffer from malnutrition 1 would be near death, 1 would be near birth 1 (YES ONLY 1) would have college education 1 would own a computer [/B][/QUOTE] one more lil stat you might like to know.... but first I'd like to say that I am not against americans in any way.... the 6 from america would use 95% (i think thats right, maybe lower, but definitely v. high) of the energy produced. that's why i added that bit beforehand, I thought some of u may think i was being anti-american

I've made the avatars you suggested, but I've had to put them in four separate zip files (all of which barely meet the max. limit for an attachment) so I'm gonna post all the avatars in the test forum instead (I dont think I'll be forgiven for quadruple posting in the GD forum, attachments or not) thank you

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by BabyGirl [/i] [B] [color=deeppink]Nope, I use PhotoSuite (for cropping) and Photo Studio. PhotoSuite is very very basic, very user friendly. Photo Studio is like a play-off of Photo Shop...only not as good. I think I can convince my dad to get us Photo Shop...I do love that program :)[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] yes yes yes.. photoshop is great.. what with all the effects u can do.. but.. not as user friendly.. I jus' play around and see what I can do..

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by super goku [/i] [B]in my opinion devil man and the guyver series are one the best mangas there are. does anyone agree? if not which manga series do you prefer? [/B][/QUOTE] dunno I haven't seen the guyver series but i didnt think devil man was anything particularly special... definitely not the best... I prefer dominion tank police (I know there's gonna be better than this, too, but i havent seen quite as many animes as most of u)

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by k9* [/i] [B]sorry to b the bearer of bad news, link doesn't find navi @ the end of mm, he just returns to his search for her. personally, i kinda prefer tat'l to navi :p something bout that tude [/B][/QUOTE] he was searching for navi? does the uk version miss out on a lot of things or somethin' cos I swear I never even saw navi go

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by KyJaUn~FuLlEr [/i] [B]well i don't think orlando bloom should play the role if they made a movie of it.ob can't play link,link has a certain hair style and ob's hair is way different yup and if they made a live action movie about it how can they keep the hat on? [/B][/QUOTE] they could just go for a bit of originality and lose the hat for the movie... no, you cant do that *deus hits himself* to be honest, no, I don't think they should make a Zelda movie.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Cibo [/i] [B]Sleeping Gas aka Knockout gas [/B][/QUOTE] hmmm... sort of.. but a little more specific.. think about what's in it... think.. 'chlorine'..

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Majora's Mask [/i] [B]Hey, king penn, any realtion to Sean Penn? *shudder* Anyways, the prisoner was a old 70's show about a bunch of really smart people trapped on a island for knowing to many things...I think...The Simpsons did a spoof on it. [/B][/QUOTE] yeah thats right, the simpsons did do a spoof on it... at the time, i didnt get it..

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Duo Maxwell [/i] [B]Great now I feel like a total idiot... [/B][/QUOTE] Don't.. it was probably a show of the same name, but I didn't actually describe what i was on about at all in the first post except that it was weird and was called the prisoner. It's my fault.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Duo Maxwell [/i] [B]Never heard of it but my mum said she's seen it and it was alright for its time, and seing it was about a women's prison [/B][/QUOTE] ???????? sorry you must have the wrong show there. I mean, this was weird.... it wasn't actually about a prison at all it's about this village where people get taken when they retire from high up positions with valuable knowledge, and 'the prisoner' is the guy who's trying to escape.

My Dad got this DVD box set of the old 70s TV show 'the prisoner' for Xmas... we've just started watching them and they are really weird.... it scares me how weird the people who came up with this can think... has anyone else seen it... is anyone else confused? actually i didnt think it was a bad show, just real confusing.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Duo Maxwell [/i] [B]how 'bout Armitage III? [/B][/QUOTE] as I write this post, I am also searching for the images ;) EDIT- and as i edit this post, I am also downloading the images i have found :) theyll be ready by tomorrow, same time EDIT2 - rather than making new posts I'll keep editing this one to inform u of my progress.. KP, evangelion pics downloaded, av's on the way! EDIT3 - i gots the funny ones too. all of the above should be ready by tomorrow (depending on when 'tomorrow' starts for u.)

and here's the shadow skill av's EDIT- PS I've just decided- I'm gonna do some ghost in the shell ones next, too.

I decided the other day to make some avatars for what i regard to be the 'less celebrated' anime series + movies. So I've started doing exactly that. Theres about 25 in total at the moment, I've started off with Dominion Tank Police and Shadow Skill, and I should have some Wings of Honneamise ones done by tomorrow. If there's any series (it doesnt have to be anime) that you'd particularly like me to do, just tell me ;) cos I dont mind. Once I had the original pics for this lot, it was only a half hour job getting all 25ish right. the gifs are in zip files, but I can't fit them all into one file. It's too big, so theres a zip file for DTP and another for SS. heres the dominion tank police av's PS- all these av's are made to fit the new 60 x 60 pixel limit rather than 50 x 50 :)

No, I was never suspended... strange... I seemed to have this knack for not getting in trouble..

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Darkness [/i] [B]I don't live in the UK or anything, but I've been wondering about something..... I hear that movies come out there at a semi-retarded pace. I mean, ultra slow. Does it bug any of you, or are you just simply used to it? [/B][/QUOTE] Its not just movies its everything. Movies, games, DVDs, TV programs. everything. eg. you already have FF10 in the US dont you, well the latest release date ive seen for over here is july.

OK OK visual aid time- this is carbon trihydrogen chloride C H3 Cl OK not much of a visual aid, but some of you may know the structure Hint time - think 'sleepy'

My god... I feel so old. Im 19 in 3 weeks..... anyway.. happy birthday

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Defcon5 [/i] [B] Superconductivity? That will be very hard considering that somthing needs to be just a few degrees above Absolute Zero for levitation to work... [/B][/QUOTE] man... I didnt know there were people here that knew that.. but yeah, youre right... although i did read an article the other week about a room-temp. superconductor.. dunno if it's true or not or if its been proven. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Lady Macaiodh [/i] [B] this should be no secret, or huge discovery. the earth has has several pole shifts. we need to just leave it alone. it's in the planet's best interest, & ours.[/B][/QUOTE] LM, I completely agree. It seems strange to me that anyone would patent such an idea when there is no practical way to do it... or any practical reason to do it. Isn't the earth overdue for a big magnetic pole switch or something, anyway?

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by DeathKnight [/i] [B] [color=crimson]My dad sleeps like a log... I mean you could hit him with a sledgehammer in the weak spot of a guy, and he'd never wake up... He could die in his sleep, and when he got to heaven still be asleep... And when he start snoring it's like a large freight train with screaming monkeys going by your ear.... [/color] [/B][/QUOTE] wow. your dad sounds exactly like me except the snoring part (I dont think i snore.....) I wish my dad were like that. you just have to walk past the door to wake him up.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Akito [/i] [B] 2nd thing, another company is making a CD that can hold 30 GIG's! Bad part is, it needs a new CD burner, with a blue laser, not a red laser, to burn the CD, somethin bout smaller gaps in the 30 Gig CD. [/B][/QUOTE] well, I havent heard 'bout this but i can say that in principle the blue laser thing is correct, if u used blue light, the wave length is smaller, so... I'm stopping there, ok, cos I don't want to bore you all. the point is- the blue laser idea works.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by DBZChikaGhan [/i] [B][COLOR=purple]Hey guys, well I jsut wanted to take the time to state how bad a relationship I have with my mother. And I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. [/COLOR] [/B][/QUOTE] There's nothing wrong with you. I can say this with complete confidence cos my dad had the same relationship with his mother. she had 6 sons, rarely bought any of them clothes, shoes, there was rarely much food in the house, and although my dad wasn't brought up in the 'wealthiest' area of my town, this wasn't the problem. the problem was that his mum and dad only spent money on themselves. she was always putting them down in the same way as your mum does to you, he had just as bad a relationship with his father, cos he was never there, he worked all week then slept and went to the pub all weekend. My 'grandmother' once told me she was putting arsenic in my dad's tea. we never talk to or see her again (my grandad is dead), and from what we hear every now and then from other members of the family, she is still the same. she will probably never change. neither will your mum, probably, but if you want to not give up hope then theres no harm or shame in that.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by DBZChikaGhan [/i] [B][COLOR=purple]just one species that crawled out of the primortial soup and ended up being one of the most intelligent and retarded species on planet earth[/COLOR] [/B][/QUOTE] yes, retarded indeed... I know people that would make good amoebas... or doorstops..... or projectiles..... but anway i've given this some thought and I think that our sole purpose is to survive. or at least thats what we evolved to do. and when i say 'survive' i mean survival of an individual, which is why we have such things as greed, the whole idea is that we are designed to fend for ourselves, not to co operate as groups. note: when I say retarded- i do not mean 'mentally disabled' I just mean plain idiots- for anyone who may get the wrong idea.
