[b]1. You're part of an invasion force and your commander is a total nutcase (aka trigger-happy) about war. Would you rather follow his orders and die or just run???[/b] In "trigger-happy", I'm taking it to mean that he the enjoys blood-shed in war. I am against that and would rather go to jail than assist in such a thing. To avaid jail, I'd just live in canada or something, leave the US if possible, but I would not follow orders that would cause unnecessary death. [b]2. Your in a room filled with hydrogen tanks and you hear one of the tanks leak. Would you try to find the leak and patch it up or would you light up a match (if you're a pyromaniac that is)[/b] Um, :therock: I suppose I'd try to find the leak. Heh, though I'm a pyro myself, I'm not going to blow myself up for a little satisfaction. ^_^ [b]3. What's worse: an all-out assualt by the Gundams or the Valkyrie series from Macross/Robotech???[/b] Gundams, I can't stand Macross. >_< [b]4. If you want to get rid the worlds from all the dictators, who would you get rid off first and why??[/b] Heh, so many to choose from.... :rolleyes: I'm inclined to say Sadam, but I would get rid of the one causing the most oppression, obviously, I just don't know if there might be another figure out there causing more than he. [b]5. What's worse: being persistent or being arrogant??? [/b] ummm.... hmm, well, both are actually strengths as much as flaws. I mean, if you're persistent that means you have a strong will and are not easily dismayed and are confident, which leads to arrogance- also a sign of confidence. Yet persistence and arrogance both are signs of weakness, persistence in that you can't let go and get around the obstacle, and arrogance in being over-confident to compensate for secret insecurities. I don't know which is worse..... imo, arrogance, because humility is something I admire in someone's character. [b]6. Another what's worse question and it's my last one. So what's worse: getting nuked or getting firebombed?? [/b] I'd have to say nuked, more destruction.

...say now! Ever beat yourself up over missed comebacks, or when you were fighting with someone and [i]after[/i] it was over, the PERFECT words came to you? Well let it all out here! Whether it be to your worst enemy, that wrotten brat who bumped into you in the halls and blamed [i]you[/i] for it, or how about one of those looooong 'parent/child' arguments, .... or MAYBE even someone you loved a long time ago, but you didn't tell them when you had the chance..... take this time NOW to get it off your chest! Only rule is no profanity (yeah I know....... kinda takes half the fun out of it...), or this thread might get closed. POST AWAY!

*hugs LM* You're absolutely right, and everyone ought to take that insight seriously. I'm sorry you were in jail :(. Our law class went to one, the one where they do executions in our state :nervous: it must have been awful, mentally if nothing else, and I'm sorry you had to go through that. v_v But what makes me happy is what you've brought out of it; wisdom of experience to share with others. I had never thought of those hoobastank (

whoa....... that is so sad. I mean really, really sad. And of [i]course[/i] our (and pretty much the rest of the world's) judical systems are messed up. Now, in the US I'm pretty certain in Law I read that while some crimes will get you off with bail, if the crime is murder, there is no bail. That ought to have been the case in this situation,..... I mean isn't it logical?! Sheesh...... but anyway, I'm awfully sorry for the boy's family....:(

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Queen_Isanity [/i] [B] How sad. (In 1st Peter God says not to fight over little differences in "beliefs") The only thing I think you need to belive in order to be christain is that. That Jesus died and rose again for your sins. [/B][/QUOTE] Hmm, interesting......... HEY KIDS ya know what?! We MORMONS believe that! ........... Like oh my gosh, *gasp* does that mean we're Christians now???? noooooooo waaaaaayyy, nuh uh, even though our church's title bears Jesus Christ's name, [i]and[/i] we happen believe in the Atonement (crucifixion[sp?]/resurrection), AND we believe in God the Eternal Father and in His Son Jesus Christ and in the Holy Ghost......... we couldn't possibly be Christians! How outrageous of us to think that! *ends sarcasm, rolls eyes, and walk out of the room*

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Queen_Isanity [/i] [B] LDS (I really don't consider it sect of Christanity) [/B][/QUOTE] Just out of sheer curiosity: [b]why[/b] do you think this? (and in case you didn't know, LDS is short for Latter-day Saints, which is short for The Church of JESUS [b]CHRIST[/b] of Latter-day Saints).

Vegitto, I said 'like' a lot?! :worried: Anyway, I think a lot of problems would be solved if people could just drop the catagorizing. But, since this is not a perfect world, it seems more focus [i]is[/i] put on the negative patterns of behavior of both sexes, like with the whole 'slut'/'dog' thing. Just remember that not all girls are always moody all the time, we do have a brain, and are not all 'easy'; and not all guys are horny 24/7, they have feelings too, and have the capability of integrity just as much as women. Okay, I'm done.

The question seems to be; what is the nature of Jesus Christ? Jesus Chirst would certainly have the power to throw his voice from heaven, if he wanted to. But, why would he? Why should HE feel the need to manifest himself three different ways?? I don't picture God or Jesus Christ feeling the need to [i]prove [b]themselves[/b][/i] to humans. The trinity basically means that they are three in one. But they are one in three; one in purpose, but three seperate beings. Minor detail it may seem, but think about, it does make a major difference.

OKay, here's some help in why you people feel the way you do, loner or not: Introvert: directed inward, prefers to be alone Extrovert: directed outward, prefers to be with a group This isn't like, unknown stuff, but this is fact. I feel a lot of people strereotypically mark a loner a loser and this isn't accurate (and I know no one's done that here, I'm referring to other occurances). Everyone is psychologically different, and has been conditioned to different environments with different behaviors. Ususally most people fall somewhere inbetween those two extremes. I'm exactly in the middle (I'm a psychology freak and have taken tests and stuff), so I'm comfortable both by myself and in large groups. So anyway, just because you don't have like, a flock of friends doesn't mean that your a "loner" persay, like you couldn't get any if you tried, it's just the way your mind works. Anywho, felt like being a know-it-all for sec, I'll shaddup now. :toothy:

I know Voodoo's name. Here's a hint: ......................POLO!! or "I don't know how to write" "Well, sir, then make your _____" or "______ my words, you'll pay for this!" Wow Voodoo, you're name is quite versatile. heh, ;) props to you eh? And if y'all can't guess it, then........... oh well.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by BabyGirl [/i] [B] [color=deeppink] I understand that most of you around here are much younger than myself and those who have drank before, so I can understand why you'd believe drinking is wrong, BUT...you can't really tell me how it's bad or good if you have never done it before. Sure, you can tell me it's bad legally, but is it really BAD to drink? It's actually rather fun, thanks...please don't tell me how it affects you when you have NO idea what it feels like. [/color] [/B][/QUOTE] For some reason I feel compelled to reply to this... anyway. I am 17, and coincientally today is the 6 month mark until I'm 18... and to me, to never drink and make the judgment not to touch the fire [i]before[/i] you're burned is perfectly reasonable. I've only been to ... actually just one party where there were drugs/alcohol, and luckily it was just these three guys who ended up leaving early anyway. I havetasted alcohol before, but I assure you I had no friggin idea that 'the water in the bottle' was really vodka. Nastiest thing Ihave ever had in my entire life. I was reeeeeeeally thirsty, and took a big ol swig without thinking twice. It was over at a friend's house, opened their refridgerator and took out what looked like regular bottled water. Heh, yeah..... I had already made my decision to not drink, but that little experience certainly put it in stone. SO anyway, yes I have valid room to state that it's bad, to me. And overall, especially after the headache I had, I really can't see how it could be all that great for anyone else. And I only had a shot's worth! But anywho, as the coined phrase of this thread goes, to each their own. :therock:

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by PiroMunkie [/i] [B][SIZE=1][color=indigo]:wow: Ok first off "generally speaking" and "not everyone is a stereotype" don't go together really. "geneally speaking" would include all guys, and "not everyone is a stereotype" would be saying most guys. SO ya, that just didn't make sense, but I'll go with the second one as the one you meant. But ya, not all guys have sex on the mind 24/7. Even the most clean cut guy will make sexual enuendos and stuff. It's just a natural reflex really. I mean, how could I be straight edge and have sex on my mind all the time? It jsut doesn't work that way. But if someone says something that I can make a sexual twist about, I usually say it, and I usually say it before I even know I said it. And when I [b]do[/b] say them it's usually loaded with sarcasm. For example, I have this friend right, and he is a huge pervert and is basically one of the type of guys you mentioned. And he's always talking about porn or something. And recently he was talking about how he was looking at Computer Graphic porn and how they were "hot" or whatever, and to make fun of him I just said: [sarcasm]"Ya, I'd dail-up [i]her[/i] modem." :rolleyes:[/sarcasm] And its not because I always think about stuff like that, it's just because he talks about nothing BUT that, so I have to respond on his own level.[/size][/color] [/B][/QUOTE] lol, I hope people know what I meant... I dunno I was just kind of ranting off there, I know not all guys are completely sex-driven zombies, it's just there ARE some who are like that and, no offense to like, your friend or anything, but I don't find those types appealing at all. It just aggrivates me, like, are they just not capable of thought processes above that of Animal Level?? -__- Eh I dunno I guess I sound witchy, but you know what I'm not apologizing for how I feel. And as a sidenote, I [i]am[/i] grateful for guys like you Piro who have their head on straight. Guys like you give me hope! ^_^ lol, okay I'm going away now....

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Queen Asuka [/i] [B] [color=crimson][size=1]Well, sorry to make you upset, that wasn't my intention. It's not like I'm deliberatley posting threads just to get on certain people's nerves. This was a topic I felt I needed to get out of my system and off my chest because it's been bothering me for a while. See, thing is, I had two pretty close friends who were influenced by this older girl to get into this type of stuff and now they can't live without it and they always say they are going to quit and then they can barely make it to the weekend without a drink. It's disheartening....[/color][/size] [/B][/QUOTE] ..... -.- *sigh* yes, see we're juniors, and two of our friends last year got to be pretty close to this one girl who is now a senior. Anyway, she was like, a partier, pretty, on drill team, blah blah whatever else, and that rubbed off on them, the party stuff. So, over this past summer and pretty much throughout the year, just about every weekend there'd be a party, and they'd be there. They NEVER did drank until this girl got them to, and yeah, they drank becasue she pressured them! She has outrightly stated on many occasions that it is her 'hobby' to 'corrupt people'. That just ........ makes me mad.... because now I look at my friends..... and they're not the same people. No they're not sloppy drunks, but they can't stop. I'm just afraid something bad's going to happen,.... I also have a friend who was raped when she was drunk, so I guess this also furthers my anti-alcohol view, if you could imagine that. :rolleyes:

Heh, yeah I've read that before. They've said the same thing about oranges and onions and garlic. But hey, if you health nuts wanna take the wild road to a good heart, you go right on ahead. Let me know how you're doing in ten years.

Okay, I'm not going to read this whole friggin thing...... Mind boggling? Not really anything, guys and girls are pretty much the same except a few minor details. Now, some things I don't [i]like[/i] about the opposite sex are things like (generally speaking.... not everyone is a stereotype) overly excited for sex, sex is most of the time what they think about on a date, sex is what they talk about sex sex sex BLOODY FRIGGIN SEX get your MINDS out the GUTTER! ....... had to let that out...... other than that, it's all good.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Heaven's Cloud [/i] [B][color=indigo] Wh is drinking BAD??? This is what I fail to understand...What makes it wrong??? People have been drinking alcohol for thousands of years...actually untill pasturization arose eveyone drank alcohol...[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] Why is drinking good?

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Milliardo [/i] [B] What you say is [i]excessive[/i] use of alcohol, which we already have noted would really wreak havoc on your body. I am not even talking about excessive use, as I keep repeating. And I do have the article about the benefits of red wine, as well as beer. Yes, they are real scientific research as well. [/B][/QUOTE] Okay, so what you're saying is that alcohol- okay I'll be specific- read wine and beer are healthier than water and a run?? Because if they are then, well I've been going about being in shape all wrong haven't I! And if not, then WHY BOTHER? Seriously, if you want to be healthy, you'll do the things that will accomplish that best.

In defense of QA, and also b/c I pretty much share her opinion, this whole topic isn't like, meant to condemn anyone. There isn't anything 'holier than thou' about it, I've never personally claimed to be almighty and above flaw or anything, but I find drinking to be a not-smart thing to do. And no this does not denote that person drinking is stupid necessarily (I'm referring mostly to the exceptional drunkards, no one here personally), but that 'buzz' feeling is you losing your rational thought, and I dunno......... I like being in control of my body. And some may think 'well, I drink BECAUSE I'm in control of my body', but you're not in control when you give up a bit of your consciousness like that. So, when you can't think or act in your normal frame, your putting yourself up for more risks......kinda risky, neh? And noooooooo not EVERY time you drink is something BAD gonna happen, but really, is that little buzz worth it? Really really??! To each their own, but this really isn't meant to say 'oh we're better than you b/c we're anti-alcohol' or whatever. In a left-handed way it's kinda like 'why are you doing this, it's not good for you, we wish you wouldn't because you might get hurt some day.'

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Milliardo [/i] [B] It is not an excuse to drink; there are already studies made on this, like I noted. I would suppose those who made the study found it also an excuse for them to drink, then, by your analogy? [/B][/QUOTE] ........ as I already said in my post.... :cross: sure, it may be good for your heart, but there is no scientific research saying that alcohol is the overall health-drink. Give me a friggin break. There ARE facts saying that alcohol does ruin the liver! Okay, this is healthy, ........ HOW?? And no real scientist has EVER said that that alcohol is healthy, or I'd like you to show proof otherwise.

Here's my OWN analogy to the health issue, and can also be applied to drinking in other aspects: You have two big blocks titled "Your Life", and they're held together by some rubber bands wrapped around them. There are big obstacles in life like drinking, sex, drugs, etc. etc. the list goes on. How do these big chunky obstacles find their way in our lives eventually? They aren't a problem right away. You're not going to go on a binge rampage the first time you have a drink, or work a whole corner the first time you have sex. These things wedge their way in. In between "Your Life" and "Big Stumbling Blocks", there's a wooden wedge called "Little By Little", and if "Your Life" lets the very edge of The Wedge in between its two blocks, all those problems already have their foot in the door. You've opened Pandora's Box, and I don't care how smart you think you are, you have NO IDEA, NO CONTROL over what's going to happen to you after that wedge has stretched you farther and farther apart, and pretty soon you have this big fat problem right in the middle of Your Life. Drinking alcohol for the sake of health is an excuse to drink. Yeah sure, a little alcohol won't hurt your heart, but it'll hurt your brain, liver, kidneys, etc. Um, I think I'll run a mile to help my heart before I take some wine, thanks.

*is curious, and clicks link* lol..... whatever. You know, I could do my [i]own[/i] math about guys, and I guarentee you that my equation would be much, much harsher.....

WAAHAHAHAAA!!! *points and laughs* I got mine OFF recently! And retainers rule compared to braces, so WAAAHOOO!! ... I'm sorry, I couldn't contain myself. I apologize for rubbing in the fact that you have braces and I don't.:toothy: :devil: heh, I'm just joking you know... :angel: :naughty:

*sigh* v_v...... Okay, well, I'm not really the romantic type either; or rather I don't get many opportunities to BE romantic... (lol..). I mean, Tyler and I, we've done some... nice things together (no, you naughty people nothing like THAT ^_^), but I don't think we've been togther long enough for me to remember any singular 'romantic' moment. I'm more like the........ thoughful type. You know, like on a random basis I'll slip some candy and a small note in his locker for no reason, things like that. It's more my style. My most depressing moment... about a couple of years I had clinical depression. I tried to commit suicide four times, although a couple of those we're half-attempts, 'cause I'm a bit of a chicken myself. I'm fine now, it's not at all smart to want to take your life for ANY reason, I don't firggin care WHAT your situation is. You're never given anything that you cannot handle. Although I [i]do[/i] still get depressed, of course, it's normal. *sighs again*I'm depressed right now actually, I have a conflict..... too long to post, alhough it sure would be nice to have some advice...... v_v

*reads Nerdsy's post* here here! ^_^ :wave:
