[size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]I broke some guys arm in the mosh. He claimed assault, but he didn't press charges. Something about breaking his other arm...[/font][/color][/size]

[COLOR=Indigo][SIZE=1][FONT=Arial][quote name='Nerdsy][color=deeppink']I doubt we'll devlop a resistence to alchohol, as it's so far ingrained into most social settings that it would be a hinderance in mating. I'd go so far as to say that being able to get drunk helps get one laid.[/color][/quote] I wasn't specific on the mutation part, but I did mean a random mutation that was beneficial would become prevalent. The mutation happened at the right time, in that case. As for alcohol, I didn't mean a resistance to it. lol I was more thinking of the way the liver creates poisons when it processes alcohol, and the body finding a better way of removing it. I doubt the fact it helps some people get their dick wet would influence how the body deals with toxins.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Indigo][SIZE=1][FONT=Arial][quote name='2007DigitalBoy][COLOR=DarkOrange']You made Cyclops cry...[/COLOR][/quote] Cyclops fires concussive blasts, not lasers. Lasers are more of a secondary thing for most characters (it's hardly useful on its own).[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Indigo][SIZE=1][FONT=Arial]I know this is a touchy subject for some of the fundies, but hey, it interests me. So I recently learnt that human tolerance for lactose is a recent development, as in the last few millenia. It was caused by a mutation of the gene that controlled the creation of lactase, the enzyme needed to process dairy. It usually stops somewhere between 2 and 5, about analogous with breast feeding, but it seems, as humanity in Northern Europe domesticated cattle, they had enough dairy in their diets to not only develop a tolerance to it, but a [i]mutation[/i] that allowed them to keep consuming it without any adverse side affects at all. Of course, through European exploration and settlement of the globe, this mutation became widespread in populations all around the world, to the point that most first and second world countries have lactose intolerance as a minority. I would consider this an evolution, albeit minor, in the human genetic code. I mean, hell, it even made [i]not[/i] producing lactase a recessive genetic trait. There's other examples. Humanity as a whole has gotten taller over the last few hundred years, and manual dexterity has risen in leaps and bounds as our own technology becomes more complex and fine - though the latter point could be nature verse nurture, I'm not at all well versed in the subject, it just interests me. The former could be attributed to taller men being preferred throughout the ages, but I doubt an almost global height increase could be attributed to that and that alone. There's also the case of the appendix, an organ in other mammals used in digestion that holds almost no apparent use in humans, the rest of the body having evolved beyond the point of needing it, making it a vestigal organ. I'm not talking X-Men ****, of course, I don't expect spontaneous wings or laser beam eyes to [i]ever[/i] be part of human development. I'd imagine a more likely scenario is the human body changing to more effectively handle our high fat diets, for instance, or maybe dealing with the poisons created by alcohol consumption entirely differently. Products of our society, and the way it's heading. What are your thoughts on this? Is my line of reasoning flawed, lol? Edit: Des informs these are forms of [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microevolution]microevolution[/url] (maybe not the appendix, which seems pretty drastic to become useless) but I'm pretty sure this is still a cool topic.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Indigo][SIZE=1][FONT=Arial][quote name='SunfallE][COLOR=RoyalBlue]EDIT:[/B] Oh and before I forget, the one thing I learned real quick was to[I] never[/I] wear a mostly white shirt while visiting said friend in the hospital, since their lovely roomie, in their state, couldn't tell that you weren't a nurse. And having some stupid junkie screaming at you to let them go home already was rather interesting to say the least. Or the ones that seemed to think tossing things at someone they mistook for a nurse would make things better somehow. Yeah, ever so funny. [/sarcasm'] [/COLOR][/quote] Oh, was that [i]you[/i]? Oh ****, I'm so sorry, I'd just been having some surgery done and couldn't get my fix and umm... well, yeah sorry. Next time, it'd be a good idea if you didn't wear white. That was totally the start of your troubles that day. You'll be happy to know I was discharged the next day though, and I've successfully avoided withdrawals ever since. :)[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]I don't know how I got there. One moment I was injecting in my room, and drinking rum alone - as usual - the next I wake up in another country. I don't even know how I got home, as soon as I go out of there, some black dude hooked me up with some killer gear, and I woke up in Melbourne and had been missing for two months. The 'abducted by aliens' excuse didn't go down well :([/font][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]Oh man, you too? I woke up after a three week binge on her floor once, and a ring on my finger. [i]Cut and run I did.[/i][/font][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]I once got engaged to a girl I'd never met before... and man, those Iraqis get ****** about broken engagements.[/font][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]I almost did, only clipped a car and spun out though. The look on the kids face was terrifying. I tried to go cold turkey for crack after that, but felt I still needed [i]something[/i]. Thus, well, the speed. I'm high right now, actually.[/font][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]ow man, that's rough. at least you'll always have that next hit to look forward to. I almost hit a kid in that car accident. I've been scared to drive ever since. :([/font][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]Eh, I did horse tranq once, that was bad enough. I couldn't move for a few days, and I just kept vomiting, over and over and over. I still freebase some crack occasionally though, when I can't afford some speed, but I've steered clear of it after my car accident while high. Did you get into heroin through the hip injury? I always found I needed heroin when badly hurt, morphine just wasn't a strong enough opiate.[/font][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]Hey man, rehab is for quitters! You keep chasing that rainbow. Personally, I've been shooting speed through the neck for about three years now, burnt out my other veins [i]years ago[/i]. You ever done crack?[/font][/color][/size]

[QUOTE=Charles]I do lines of coke every now and then. I also shoot up on heroine when I need the boost. During the week I ususally don't start drinking myself into a stupor until noon, but on the weekend I often get started in the AM.[/QUOTE] [size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]Really? I always picked you more as a meth-amphetamine kind of guy[/font][/color][/size]

[COLOR=Indigo][SIZE=1][FONT=Arial][quote name='2007DigitalBoy][COLOR=DarkOrange']Yep. His mind has officially melted. Wat, did I read the last sentence in that article correclty? did that actually happen? Anyone?![/COLOR][/quote] It's just Bill's sense of humour.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][FONT=Arial][COLOR=Indigo][quote name='Bill of Error Macro']Jack Thompson has complained about the Wii toys being offered at Wendy's with their kids meals, because Manhunt 2 is a bad game with blood in it and Manhunt 2 is on the Wii and therefore Wendy's is promoting a vehicle for Manhunt 2 delivery with their kids meals and then he **** in a bag and wore it as a hat.[/quote] (Sourced from [url=http://gamepolitics.com/2007/05/08/hey-jack-you-want-fries-with-that/][U]GamePolitics[/U][/url], discovered through [url=http://www.errormacro.com][U]Error Macro[/U][/url]) I think it's safe to say he's officially gone batshit insane.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

[size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]Your Dad has no tolerance for alcohol. I've seen [i]my[/i] Dad, hell even [i]myself[/i] standing steady after 12 beers (or rum and cokes, in my case).[/font][/color][/size]

[COLOR=Indigo][SIZE=1][FONT=Arial][quote name='The Heart']Alcohol, in moderation (say, one or two drinks per month ingested by a responsible, over-21 person who promises not to drive while intoxicated)[/quote] I missed this earlier but... 1 or 2 [i]a month[/i]?! Depending on the drink, it's hard to get even a minor buzz off 1 or 2 [i]in an hour[/i], even for light drinkers. Your idea of moderation is so conservative and shocking I'm left wondering if you've ever even had alcohol.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Indigo][SIZE=1][FONT=Arial][quote name='Fall']The minute you swallow, smoke; inhale, snort, inject, whatever you wanna do with that "little piece of magic". --The minute you take that drug, it cuts sick with your normal, everyday bodily functions, and it turns you into a complete ********, unable to realise that your walking around in a make-believe world that has been projected by your very own paralysed and drug-diluted brain.[/quote] I don't know about the drug users you hang around, but I've never been around someone who's a 'total ********' when they're just using it for recreation. See, it comes back to that 'your friends aren't standard drug users' thing. [i]They're not people you should be using to measure all drug users, everywhere[/i]. Meet my friends without prior knowledge they're on drugs, and you'd never know. And sure, recreational use isn't a fantastic reason to take drugs - there's no [i]good[/i] reason. I never implied that there was. But the situation is a hell of a lot different from your friends who got themselves addicted, and you have to make that distinction.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Indigo][SIZE=1][FONT=Arial][quote name='Fall']Through my eyes, illicit drugs are an immediate "remedy" for pain or emotional strain, for the weak who cannot bear to cope with even slight emotional pain. Plain and simple. I'm not going on the "facts" or whatever people like referring to these days, I'm going on the people I see everyday.[/quote] How about [I]I[/I] go on the people I see everyday. I see one of my best mates, one of the most level headed people I know, use marijuana and occasional harder drugs to enhance his experience (say, at a concert). I see my cousins - men in happy families, with children and wives - take pot just to relax after a hard day. **** it man, I see some of my more party-hard friends take an E occasionally just because. Are they doing it cause they're trying to escape 'even slight emotional pain'? No, far from it. I'm sure there's plenty of people who fall into your narrow world view, but it's not a stereotype you can apply to everyone who takes drugs. Some people are crackheads to escape the reality of their situation, some people are hooked on heroin cause they can't feel happy any other way, but for every one of those, there's many more who never let addiction take hold of them, and never take them to escape. They're not weak, they're just out for a good time, and you shouldn't judge [i]them[/i] as weak because your friends (or ex-friends) took them for the wrong reasons[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[quote name='2007DigitalBoy][COLOR=DarkOrange']Well, I guess the fact that most peole who would take interest in Otakupedia would be people who are longtime OB members makes it better; I was thinking of it from the perspective of a new person who's learning about OB via the Otakupedia entries and sees it. I fear for my reputation >_< not that anything in particular is about ready to save it anyway. [/COLOR][/quote] [size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]Lighten up. OB isn't all doom and gloom seriousness, it's pretty obvious to [i]anyone[/i] that article is in fun.[/font][/color][/size]

[QUOTE=2007DigitalBoy][COLOR=DarkOrange]ZOMG did I ever XD. I can't even believe a typo that bad is possible!
