I too, don't know you. And pity and commiseration are not the strongest things, but you have mine. I am immensely sorry for what you are going through. And while i do not have any idea of what it feels like, I am sorry for you, and hope that such a thing never happens to me. You seem to be a strong person, and when you are ready to come back, We will all be here. The point is that we will be here for you. Or anyone who needs us. We may not [i]understand[/i] but we can feel. And pray for you (even though i dont believe in God). Best wishes from... Well i imagine everyone on OB. Luck...

In the future Charle L. when you want to correct a post, click on the 'Edit' button under your post. Then simply correct it.... easy. And Logan.... I might have to agree with you there...

I know next to nothing about the kind of philosophies applied by Martial Artists. But, while Bruce lee's ideas (water etc.) are good, and worthy, maintaining 'honour' and 'standing' in a fight are not the principal things to be concerned about.The point (if it is a proper, potentially dangerous fight) is for you not to be hurt. And him to be down. In some cases, the ends justify the means. Nobody remembers the losers. And the winner is revered, not for [B]HOW[/B] they fought, but because they fought and [b]WON[/b]. Ideally principles are good. Great even. But in this world they matter little. Years ago, these things mattered, but now? Everything has to change. To grow up. DBD... I am afraid that your martial arts is going to change. Inevitably. It may be subtle, but your 'spirit' of the fighter is not... viable in todays world. We don't go around fighting people. It doesnt happen. We learn martial arts for self-defence, pleasure, or we enter world competitions. But these all have rules and such. We no longer 'travel the land' seeking to become the best fighter. These are useless pipe-dreams of a forgotten time. It is a has-been time. Much of the principles are no longer what people want. And if people don't want it, then they won't get it. So basically what i am saying, is that philosophies are good. But nobody really cares for them any more. So we dont get them. So if your oponent turns their back on you, kick them. They were dumb enough to turn their back on you. Because when he pivots, and kicks you in the throat, collapsing your windpipe, then it no longer matters does it? Use what you have. Or just try not to get into a fight. That seems like the best advice of all ~_^

Sounds like loads of good quality entertainment for the whole family...... I hope that i never get it

Unsavoury.... what exactly happens when you have this? so far i know it makes you tired, and you get it from Saliva, bodily fluids ^.^ *giggles*...mebbe im wrong. it sounds like i dont want to get it.. but what is it exactly....

The ethos of the Code of Honour that Samurai hold is in itself, good. But they have to commit [i]seppuku[/i] if they stuff up, lose face, or on command from a superior. [i]giri[/i](sp?) is all important. it ios the respect for superiors. Samurai are cool, but their life is difficult and strict. and Ninja are way cooler, and will defeat a samurai. Samurai have more power, Ninja can stop them before they get that far. Throwing knives, garrots etc. etc. Ninja far outpace Samurai. But Samurai are accorded more deference (nose pushing by lower ranks) so it depends what your after...

I have a similar question- base. Today we dissected sheepbrains. they are grey mush. literally. So, what i dont like is that...mush... can remember stuff. I dont understand life. We can define WHAT life is, but not HOW life is. If someone put this mush on a plate and said "This can remember images" i would laugh. We cannot make life (In a lab from entirely synthetic materials)(that is), because it requires something.... i dont understand. I am intellignt, but i have limited knowledge. The same failing as most humans have...among others... but it is too.... broad a concept to consume. We have not explored it fully enough. How does your brain remember stuff. How can pink rubber make you move? how can it processs and make sense of it all. This is a difficult concept. i find it to be so, anyways.

So. has Charles ended up winning... we only have 68 votes all together. surely that aint enough for a conclusive polling on funniest signature...

No. You meant 'than'. thing is wrong. "more thing my life could be in danger" ? doesnt sound right does it... "more than my life could be in danger" much better...grammatically of course...

I have two stories. neither has to do with food, but both have to do with bugs... 1: There was a guy, who was taken to hospital. He kept on getting sick from spiders poisoning, but didnt know why. Well, eventually he died. Under his dreadlocks they found a huge nest of red-back-spiders. he never even knew that they were there. Imagine. being bitten to death by some spiders living under your hair... 2: A lady was taken to hospital, suffering from severe stomach pains. They took an X-Ray and found that there wasd a nest of cockroaches inside of her. Now wait for it... you want to know how she got them? Licking an envelope. Apparently in envelope factories, there are lots of cockroaches. they lay their eggs on the envelopes. this lady licked the sticky strip, and swallowed the eggs. Gross, heh? And one time i found a piece of plastic in a meal... cant remember when or the details, but i remember it. And some guy found pieces of glass inside the sauce from a cooking thing (like those maggi 5-min noodles), that have little packets of sauce with them? and there was glass inside. I think those kind of things are awful...

Read. Hockey. TV. Computer. Eat. COmputer games. Eat. Eat. Eat a bit more. Im not fat. or even overweight. oh. another thing i forgot. OTAKUBOARDS! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! Hockey (grass) (no ice here :( ) Reading is GOOD. TV is FUN. Computer is GREAT. Games are COOL. OTAKUBoards are the BOMB! And Food is..... the BEST. oh. and listen to music....yeah, thats about all....

Taylor....we dont hate you, we just jumped down your throat for being a bit of a prat in your statement. We love to annoy. We mean little, but our bare and evil souls get nourishment from it. I am joking. But we DONT hate you... WHy would we? We dont even know you in real life. But if you write-slightly less than....i dont know the word- statements, expect to be.... abused? No i dont think that is the right word

Either you are really in a temper, or you cant spell. 'thin', is presumably 'than'. everyone here has said that there is not a big danger. Maybe try to stop worrying, and believe them. as my mother would say 'Take some big breaths. In through your mouth, out through your nose'. And if you are that worried, just sit on your couch for the rest of eternity. and dont watch scary movies....

This is slightly off topic- but the tickle me elmo thing...there was another one...Shoot-Me-Up elmo...."Elmo shakes and convulses when you shoot him up with heroine" *holds head* i actually coudltn breathe when i read this.,...for like 5 mins when i was trying to tell my mum..i kepthaving to stop...it was just so funny. Elmo shakes and coHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA was how i kept going. so that would be my favourite toy. seriously thoguh, - probably lego. i had SOOOOOOO much lego. it was crazy. sorry about the poor quality of this post- im on the run... ciaou

You seem to be thinking this is the WORST thing that anyone in the world has ever experienced. How long had you been together? If you had been married for 25 years, and then she left you...well that would be worth some real bitterness. But you are...what did you say-13? I am too, but that means the max you could have been going out for is...2 years? any more time than that and it wasnt totally serious to start with. You would have been too young. And even now, i think, that you're probably too young to feel so bad. Say you left town. Within 6 months you'd harsdly ever think of her. 2 years you would NEVER think about it. I have had a girlfriend. She dumped me. Sure it was sad. but iun that amount of time, at our age, it is virtually impossible to get really, really powerful feelings for another. You may have had them. if you did, i am sorry. But dont [b]kill[/b] yourself. that is very very stupid thing to do. there is so much time left, and so much more stuff to do, that it is a waste. And with my typically cynical nature, i think that the strength of the feelings you say you had for this girl, is sligthly exaggerated. If i am wrong, then i apologise for my bluntness. But i am just telling you how the cards seem to me. Im sorry that you broke up.

Well, here in this ittle uuh. place that i live, there aint snow. i would love to Snowboard, but my conditions deny me the pleasure. I envy you all ginormously. Big much i envy you. i hope one day to Snowboard. at this stage i opt for Board over skis

uuh. This isn't very nice really, but i feel a bit less than sympathetic. If you seemed to be that worried about it, then you would of put a bit more depth into your post. And the evil smiley would be absent. It seems to me that you just wanted to put up this post to get attention, or just to say. And if you created it just to say so, then it is a slightly pointless post. Maybe we should start a thread titled "Been sick/ Got a health problem?" Then i could say that i have had an asthma attack, have a cold, stubbed my toe....~_^ get the idea?? I am sorry that you are plagued by this condition, but from what most of the people here have said, it isnt that big a deal. And your post was pretty poor in detail. And emotion. Im sure i would be a bit worried if it was me, but seriously... you dont seem to care... so why should we? I hope that it is nothing serious, however i am sure you can see my point...? Anyway I think that you will like OB. iv only been here a while, but i like it.

GO SARA!!!! OR CHARLES!! In fact.... GO WRISTCUTTER!! I voted for Sara. but i had to do a coin flip between her and Charles. they were both excellento!

techno. trance. i like them both. but it ultimatley depends upon the song. there are some songs in those genres that are absolutely awesome. and there are some i wouldnt spit on. so it depends on the song.

Without OB...hhhmmmm. I would cut my time on the net by-ooh, lets say 80%. and i would either not get up at 6 in the morning, or i would play my video games. i am (relatively) new to OB, but it is already a staple of a good diet. Without it, my intellectual (somewhat) wellbeing would die. Starving to death. The only things i use the net for now are homework, email and OB. I would probably get better school marks as well...hehehe. My work is second to OB *hits self* naughty boy...

14 too. only a few more years until i can get my license (2 and a half)

I just wanted to find out what age group most of th peple here are in. you dont have to post if you dont want everyone to know your age, but would you all please Vote in the Poll!

People ae not born 'good' or 'bad'. They are shaped by their parents and their lifestyle and their friends. What they become depends on their environment. If they are raised in a good environment, have good relationships with their parents, have good friends, then the chances are they'll be good kids. and vice versa.
