[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]Well it's nearly 1AM and I haven't been here in a month. Right now the reason I'm on otakuboards is because I haven't been here in a month and I'm curious to see what's been going on in my abscence. When I first got here it was because I was really into anime and I wanted somewhere to discuss my obsession with Tasuki (Can't spell his name now, but he's from Fushigi YUgi) and Sesshomaru. But then I really got into politics (I joined in 2003 when the US started the fighting in Iraq) and debating. But really I think I'm here because it gets on some people's nerves and who am I to dissapoint?[/color][/font]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]Well we have the Gay marriage thread again. I don't feel like starting an abortion thread right now, so how about a stem cell thread? I decided to do this topic a while ago because my new job requires me to work with a lot of chronicly ill people. I have had to work with people with MS (multiple screrosis (SP?)) and cancer. And I have a permanent patient who has demensia. So over the past month I've been thinking a lot about stem cell research (I just haven't had enough time to research it throuroughly and I do appologize for that.) I've wondered if maybe it could help some of the people I take care of and why there is so much controversy over more studies on it. Yes I understand that a lot of stem cells are harvested from aborted embryos and many people feel that it's wrong to kill in the name of science. But what if those embryos were from invetro fertilization which results in surplis embryos. But I'm getting ahead of myself aren't I? I guess I just want opinions on the subject. Maybe some pros and cons as well. But as always with controversial threads, let's be mature.[/color][/font]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]I have a cookbook that has popcorn recipes in it. My favorite is paramasean (can't spell without my spell check) cheese. Give me my cheese dang it![/color][/font]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]Damn, when was I last here? Eh who cares? I heard this song on the radio a month ago with the lyrics that went : Do you feel like a man when you push her around? Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground? Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found. And I had no idea who sang the song or what the name of the song was until last week when the song was on again and I called into the local radio station to find out who sang it. So now I have to find out if the band is any good. So does anyone know about Red Jumpsuit Apparatus aside from this song? As for myself: I'm off to the Lounge to wreak havoc by starting a stem cell thread![/color][/font]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]Oh bloody hell I have just heard the funniest song ever by Faith Hill. It's track three on her Fireflies CD called Dearly Beloved! Man is it funny! [center]Good morning, dearly beloved we are gathered here today to watch two people we know make a big mistake. They?ll stand up at the altar and solemnly swear; ?I do? They?ll be together forever ?till they find somebody new. Her daddy?s in the front row muttering, ?oh no, here we go again. They had a couple dates, now she?s three months late. And it?s twenty bucks a plate I spent, oh? Good morning, dearly beloved, I?d like to welcome ya?ll to see the side effects of sex and alcohol. Please bow your heads and join me in a prayer for these two who?ll be together forever ?till they find somebody new. The bride is a flirt, and the groom is much worse. As he?s putting the ring on her, he?s checking out the bridesmaids thinking that he might take the maid of honours honour, oh, welcome, dearly beloved, we are here this afternoon to throw rice as these two drive down the road to ruin with cans tied to the bumper and a draggin? muffler too they?ll be forever together ?till they find somebody new. So raise your hand and join me, here?s to the bride and groom they?ll be together forever ?Till they find somebody new.[/center] They don't have it where I found the lyrics, but after the song is done you hear her saying Oh no, not another one, Thank you daddy. Another funny one is The Bride by Trick Pony off of their RIDE CD, but I have to go to work now and can't go look for the lyrics. So you'll just have to trust that it's funny.[/color][/font]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]Just so everyone knows this thread has been nominated again as something nifty- now we have to keep it going or I'll cry! And now for the caption. [IMG]http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j95/Dbzman26/bleach_ichigo0006.jpg[/IMG] [b]Ichigo wants you! For the Bleach Army![/b] Hey it was the best I could come up with since I've never seen the show.[/color][/font]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]That's a tough question. I don't know how custody rights work in every state. I know here in New York that there's the whole custodial parent and if there's nothing settled the parent who the child lives. I think at seventeen even though you're not considered an adult you are definately within the age of reason so you can make your own descisions about who you want to live with. But you should understand that in order for your mom to allow you to live with your dad and for your dad to be okay with it takes a lot more than just them agreeing on it. They have to get lawyers to draw up papers again. Plus think of how your mom feels knowing you don't want to live with her anymore. But I think you can probably look stuff up on law books to find out when you're considered an adult and can choose your own living arrangements. From what I understand, it's usually around college.[/color][/font]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]Hey! I actually get to vote more this year because I was actually more active, how fun. 1.) [b]What is it?[/b]- The anime picture caption game thread: [b]Why is it nifty[/b]- Despite nearly dying on numerous occasions, this thread has managed to stay relatively active for over a year now. Plus it's littered with crack up captions. 2.) [b]Who is it?[/b] Gavin [b]Why is he nifty?[/b]- He's Irish for Christ Sake! That makes anyone nifty. Plus he made my banner and avi. 3.) [b]What is it?[/b] The Would you rather thread [b]Why is it nifty?[/b]- Because it's always interesting to see what kinds of things people would rather do. And who would have guessed that being anti Barney was so interesting? I'll have to add more later after looking through the site. Ciao Bello[/color][/font]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]I had a Kahluah (Sp?) mudslide last night... mmm that was good- and I needed it after the Saturday I had. Okay so I mostly had it to shut my friend's fiance up, but still yummy. But like I've said before- not much of a drinker, but I do have some good momentary drinking moments. Peach Schnapps is very good all by itsself. I haven't had it in a while, but it's got a nice fruity flavor and burns afterwards. I have no idea what to add to this [/color][/font]

[quote name='NIKI12345']Personaly I do not drink, smoke, or any of that stuff. :( I think it will harm your body in dangerous ways. :( I hope I'm not causing any problems by asking, but whats the obsession with drinking. :animeswea[/quote] [color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]Hey, like my mom says: Everything in moderation. There have actually been studies done on the benefits of red wine on your heart so drinking in moderation isn't that bad. I'm Irish, it's practically part of my heritage to drink. But I really don't take advantage of that whole stereotype. Infact I'm a lousy drinker- I've left more [b]unfinished[/b] bottles of beer and other alcohol than I've finished in my life and my parents have allowed me to have [u]supervised[/u] liquor consumption since I was eighteen at family functions. But back to the topic at hand.. I adore Caramel Apple shots- which is some butterscotch schnapps with Sour apple pucker... which makes me wonder why they don't call it a butterscotch apple shot... hmm ¬_¬ I also like an occasional piña colada or some Godiva white chocolate liquore. Beer wise I drink Carona light with lime or something else light.... I'm a sissy low carb drinker and will usually stick to beer. And while sticking to beer I will usually only have one or two which goes back to the fact that I'm a lousy drinker. And now I have to go to bed![/color][/font]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]Okay the time is 11:51PM EST and I'm in the middle of an IM watching Jay Leno and then NBC news breaks in with a special report. They announced that Gerald Ford has died at the age of 93. I don't know if there are any news reports online yet, I probably should go check after posting this to make my post better. But I figured since I'm usually the one with breaking news- at least most of the time, I should post this thread first then look for some other details. All I remember from the report is that he served right after the Nixon Administration and represented Iowa for a number of years- damn I really need to find some news reports. I know most of us are too young too have been alive during his administration, but he has done other things in our life times so if you want to please share your thoughts and I'll hurry up with some actual news reports [URL=http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061227/ap_on_re_us/obit_ford]Former President Gerald Ford[/URL] [/color] [/font]

[QUOTE=NIKI12345]Do you have a problem with the Avatar! That show rocks. What in your brain does not like it. :animeangr :animeangr :mad: Just wondering????? :animeswea [/QUOTE] [color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]Whoa girl lay off the sugar! Lunox was just saying that the characters in Avatar are unslashable meaning that you can't do yaoi/yuri pairings with the characters and make it believable. Come on! Zuko and Sokka... dear El! Someone would end up with a terrible case of dead in no time. I have to agree with that except that in some odd way I can see Toph and Katara a few years down the road.... But Toph would obviously be the dominant one. What I want to know is what is up with those people trying to pair Azula with Sokka? Who besides me thinks that is a severly derranged idea? Seriously folks that girl is going to kill whoever she mates. She's an animated human version of a black widdow spider! So I vote she mates with Hahn [spoiler]Princess Yue's betrothed from the first season finale[/spoiler] so he finally gets what's coming to him.[/color][/font]

[QUOTE=G/S/B Master]"Does this smell like chloroform to you?" *runs*[/QUOTE] [color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]Just so you know, I'm not dating you after that incident. A guy I worked with once told me that if I worked in his area he could come by and annoy me more often. That was just... odd. Here's another really dumb one: [b]Guy[/b]- Hey do you have a boyfriend? [b]Me[/b]: No [b]Guy[/b]: Do you want one? [b]Me[/b] Not really [b]Guy[/b]: How about if we just become friends first? [b]Me[/b]: I have enough friends thank you. *Runs away* That happened to me at one of my jobs- to make matters worse the guy was married!

[QUOTE=Kurayami Oji][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed] Hmmm....I think i'm gonna go with Roy. I mean, I can't pass up power and flames. Would you rather not be able to hear? Or....

There are some people whose voices I'd just like never to hear again and I use my hands enough when I talk so using sign language wouldn't be anything new to me. But I cannot go without Headlines on Jay Leno and Avatar the last Airbender. Anyway, getting into the holiday spirit.

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]Going with my gut instinct I'd want to rip the guys manhood off and staple it to his forehead, but for once in my life I'm going to be logical and rational and suggest that you report the guy before the statue (SP?) of limitations runs out so he can face some form of justice. Who knows who else he's done this to because in my mind rapists are like child molesters (Yes, they should also be chopped up and fed to lions- there was a Roman Emperor who did that back in the BCE- I forgot who) they don't just stop at one or two victims, they keep going to see how long and how far they can go before getting caught. That said, I also think that your girlfriend and her friend should be tested for STDs (or STIs if you call them infections instead of diseases) because I really doubt that the schmuck bothered to use any form of protection before he violated those girls. If he, did you may have another round of problems because I heard of somewhere where a judge decided that the rape wasn't a rape because the victim had asked her attacker to wear a condom. Stupid yes, but the law is dumb. I think the best you can do aside from going to the authorities is to offer moral support- especially because heresay and speculation doesn't hold up in court and you need solid evidence. Hopefully with enough reassurance you can convince them to tell their story. I can't imagine how bad it really is, but I have done enough research to understand that the stigma still exists that the woman was asking for it. Good luck[/color][/font]

[QUOTE=Kurayami Oji][SIZE=1] [COLOR=DarkRed]Hmmm.....I think I would have to say my father, if you could call him that. Why? Mainly because he is a low s.o.b. that doesn't pay child support.

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]I have to say that my messiest break up is my divorce. Oh man where do I begin? I have been left with a bill for a laptop computer over two grand that was pawned a month after he got it without ever paying for it. Emails from his new wife saying that I'm the reason he cheated and now an on-going custody battle. Then there's the case of all the household supplies that my family and friends bought that were either sold or kept and he never split anything with me along with all my pictures (photos of my friends and I dating back to when we were all still in diapers and a painting from my great aunt who died when I was twelve) and a wall hanging that one of my aunts bought me in Venezuala and various other belongings of mine that I left in Texas back in 2003 because I assumed I'd get them back. So yeah, nearly five years of my life were a lie and I'm missing a lot of stuff and I'm in debt. I really do feel for you all and your break ups because it hurts like hell to be dumped. But then you realize that whatever loser gets them now probably deserves everything they get and really they weren't the one for you since you deserve much better. Or at least that's what your friends will tell you while you all sit around your best friend's apartment eating and insulting your ex's. Maybe you and your friends will even compare stories. Perhaps while you gorge and get drunk.[/color][/font]
