Thank you SO much dude, its beautiful. Truly a photoshop ninja. Thanx!

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkGreen]Ok, if nature is causing global warming, in addition to us, there is no way in hell we're going to reverse it. We haven't made a weather-controlling machine yet, so we might as well let nature take its course. As for the 20 feet of water thing? We'll just build levees (sp?) and dikes higher. And some people's beach houses will get taken. All-in-all, its not too big of an issue...mostly because its damage will be minimal and we can't have a solution. But I digress. I think the reason why the children are hungry was posted earlier. The governments of the poor countries use the money to buy weapons...which is why we should use the money the buy base foods (like rice) and give it to them. Buy weapons with rice. I dare you. Regardless though, I think the U.S. puts more emphasis on protecting our people than on giving other people in the world the basic necessities of life. That's how it goes.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkGreen]It's really nice. My only complaint is...I'd like to see his entire visor. Other than that, its gorgeous.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkGreen]Ecstasy for everyone? Regardless, wouldn't destroying all life defeat the purpose of making life better? In my experience, civilization causes negative feelings. I went to Canada and hung out by a waterfall in the middle of the woods for about a week. I've never felt better in my entire life. I think people need to get back to nature. I'm not thinking that we need to live like animals, but I don't like industrialization. Shortly after that, I spent the day in a nearby city. I was going nuts. There was so much stimulation and everything was shaped. Even the bushes were shaped. It drove me crazy. I think that humanity has to learn to integrate with the natural world, rather than fight and exploit it. Cities make life easier, but not better. By the way, I do believe the origin of the ice age had nothing to do with man's influence.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[quote name='Lady Knight']"In riding horses we borrow freedom." That quote is true.[/quote] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkGreen]In riding horse, I hurt my butt. I don't think I could live without my miniatures. Its stupid, I know. I got Star Wars and Dungeons and Dragons. I just look at them, screw around with them, have them battle (using the rules). They just keep the little kid part of my mind busy. When I was younger, I used to have lots of action figures, which I would play with in the sandbox. These are exactly like the bigger ones, except not posable...and smaller. So I get to indulge the kid in me. Now if you'll excuse me, Jango has some *****-kicking to do...[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkGreen]13th Man, the problem is that (with Korea at least) we get a guy with lots of ambition and a decent amount of power. So Kim probably doesn't like other people "keeping him down." At least that's how I see it. But yeah, just remember: An army marches on its stomach. If his people are starving, they won't fight. I think this is a job for...NATO! Let them handle it, its their job. If they can't handle it, they're incompetent. Otherwise, they're good. Besides, who says the U.S. needs to be the world's policeman?[/COLOR][/FONT]

[QUOTE=The13thMan][FONT=Century Gothic] [COLOR=DarkOrange]As a nation we (USA) are the fattest in the world. McDonalds makes me angry sometimes. It's really disgusting. It's marketing campaign is mainly planned to get kids addicted to their food at an early age. For Christ's sake, their spokesman is a clown! Then the happy meal has their little plastic toys that kids absolutely must have. And even now McDonalds is taking advantage of the nation's new concern over health by offering "healthy solutions" like f-ing apple sauce instead of fries in happy meals! That's absolutely ridiculous. When i have children of my own i won't let them watch tv for a long time. I also won't let them eat bad food and start bad habits. Eventually though i'll let 'em at it. Of course i say this now, i wonder how i'll feel when i actually have kids. Well, i gotta go, i got a hankerin' for a big mac. Yum.....what? [/COLOR] [/FONT][/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkGreen]Heck yes, dude. I worked there for over a year and its terrible. Burgers are like crack to some people. But, in all honesty and not to offend anyone, but mostly tight-wads and idiots go there. Honesty hurts. One commercial (I got two, but this is the first) that I love due to its random, funny content. Red Stripe beer. "Would you say you are an ugly man?" "No,I-" "You are are a very ugly man!" Its just so random. And the guy has an awesome island accent. The other is those beef jerky commercials (I forgot what they're called) where the guys pull pranks on bigfoot. Then bigfoot beats the crap out of them. Funny.[/COLOR]

Howdy one and all! I would like a banner (my avatar is sufficient) that has Sev from Republic Commando on it. It should also have the words "Rule 17: Always make sure they're dead." on it in any font and any color you see fit. Just go nuts! Here is the pic I want though. [URL=http://media.teamxbox.com/dailyposts/Sev.jpg][clicky][/URL] If someone chooses to undertake this endeavor, I thank them...which could be you.

[QUOTE=Bláse][size=1][color=slategray]I'm confused. Have you read the rules? I know it's a pain in the *** to do, but even Hot Pockets have a set of directions or "rules." Take the time to study your local forum expectations and maybe those ruler-smacking moderators won't be lurking around every corner to slap a "thread closed" on you. Happy hunting. :)[/color][/size][/QUOTE] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkGreen]Damn those Hot Pockets and their need for rules! Seriously though, when a thread consists of: "I liek cats do u??????????" Let's just say it makes me want to eat my left hand. I think the mods are just out to save the left hands of older members everywhere. I mean, after I eat my left, my typing ability is cut in half. What will I have to eat next? What?![/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkGreen](Thanks to Gavin for letting me join so late.) The blackened droid stood in the shadows of the arena, one yellow glowing eye being the only indicator that there was something there. Regardless of the eerie glow, patrons continued to wander around and speak openly in the shadows, convinced that nothing lurked there. A morbidly obese twi?lek man stopped in front of the alcove HK-50 had been occupying. Shortly after, a rough-looking human stopped beside the twi?lek. [B]?How?s business tonight??[/B] The human had something attached to his belt. Lightsaber? ::PROTECT JEDI:: HK-50?s programming was telling him clearly that he needed to protect this man. The twi?lek, after much coughing and strange gurgling, made a reply. [B]?Business is slow. Course, it?s been slower than usual for the past month. Since you?re security, could you do me a favor?? ?Yeah, anything boss.? ?I think there?s something going on tonight. I just saw a guy hassling Jorek to go into the anteroom. He?s probably just a rich guy who wants to show off his money with some star protection, but who knows? Just keep an eye open for anything funny, will you?? ?Who?s Jorek? The nagai? Oh??[/B] The human rubbed his scraggly beard his a calloused hand. HK-50 had state of the art night vision, as all druid of his extravagant quality had. ::PROTECT JEDI:: No, this was not Jedi. This was security. It was a bludgeoning weapon. This organic had attempted to fool him, no doubt. The organic had to pay. After the obese twi?lek had left, HK-50 went to work. He noticed, using his excellent night vision, that there was a panel next to him that would give access to electricity. His mind went to work. Electricity would alert the other organics to the possibility of a well-crafted assassin in the building. Of course, he could break the organic. It had been a long time fantasy of his. The wet tears and pops organics made while being dismantled had always been rather fascinating. In fact, the entire concept of a being made almost entirely out of water, but still able to exist vertically had always made him curious. He had a blaster in his chassis somewhere, as well as a grenade. He could use those. No, too much noise. Breaking the human would have to do. His behavior core whirred with anticipation. His good eye was probably glowing a little brighter than usual too. Using careful steps, he moved outside of his protective alcove. He cautiously moved closer to the scraggly organic and raised his hands. The organic spoke. [B]?Cheraza, you paranoid bastard. That guy?s gone now. Besides, I got better things to do that watch some nerf-lickin who acts like a damned Jedi?? [/B] His systems suddenly went alert. Had the human heard him? Well, judging from the amount of sound he used to make such words and his tone, HK-50 was reminded that humans sometimes speak only to themselves, as though they do not entirely understand their own thoughts. Of course, if they do not understand their own thoughts, how could they think them? Organics were very paradoxical. He continued, putting one foot before the other until he was right behind the human. His behavior core glowed and nearly shivered with excitement. In one swift move, he shot out, using his right hand to cover the organic?s mouth. He used his left to make a neat incision in the organic?s lower back. He shoved his left hand into the whole, grabbed something hard (the organic?s nervous system bundle) and yanked, making strange pops and cracks. The organic made wet throaty noises into his right hand, until eventually it stopped making noises altogether. [B]?Proud statement: Pitiful organic. How easy it was for me to break you. Though I do wish you had squirmed more. It would have made the experience that much more memorable.? [/B] ::PROTECT JEDI:: There was a Jedi in the building. Attempting to get to the pit-fighter?s anteroom? Yes, he would find and guard the Jedi better than any organic pile of slop could ever dream. HK-50 reached down and gabbed the guard?s weapon: a bludgeoning object. So primitive. No wonder he was able to break the organic. HK-50 walked calmly towards the arena, stopping to watch as a spray of gore hit the force field and sizzled, reminding him or a gran he once knew. He continued toward the nagai, walking fluidly. Fluid motions were also something he prided himself on, though the coating of some of his wires had melted together in the crash, making his slightly less than he?d wished. He approached the nagai. [B]?Lemme guess. You represent somebody of high importance and wish to talk to the various duelists? About right? Yeah, I thought so, piss off.? [/B] He gave a dismissive hand gesture that turned into an obscene one when the druid refused to budge. [B]?Veiled threat: Who must I disembowel to be able to move about without questions?? [/B] The nagai?s face suddenly displayed an emotion known as shock and he put his hand on the end of his bludgeon. HK-50 raised his hands, still decorated with the human?s innards. The nagai went paler than usual and made a sweeping gesture to represent acceptance. Taking this opportunity, HK-50 walked past the nagai and followed the path that led to the guards? barracks. He had to eliminate a witness?one who would no doubt tell others. There were two more scraggly human organics here. [B]?Condescending remark: I do believe Jorak needs to be relieved of duty. He looks rather sick.? [/B] The humans, after giving the assassin droid a strange look, left the room. Shortly after, Jorak appeared. His eyes went wide as he looked upon the face of HK-50. He drew his bludgeon and HK-47 grabbed his hand, bringing it down on the nagai?s head. He drew satisfaction from the odd cacophony of noises. After wiping his hands on the nagai?s shirt, he made his way towards the anteroom. His eye met that of a young organic woman. She merely said [B]? You must be one of them, you look rough enough. Come with me.? [/B] HK-50?s behavior core whirred. [B]?Query: You are my master?? ?Yes, I suppose. But you will have to obey MY master.?[/B][/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkGreen]I do believe I would go back in time to when I was 10 and slap myself. Then give myself a list of stuff not to do in the future. 1. Hotplates are HOT. Don't touch. 2. High school is still a joke, but try harder. 3. Don't waste your time with girls. The good ones aren't in Iowa anyway. 4. Chill the **** out. 5. TIME PARADOX![/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkGreen]Name: HK-50 Age: irrelevant Gender: Masculine programming Race: droid Physical Description: Like all [URL=http://starwars.wikia.com/images/c/c7/Hk50full.png]HK-50s[/URL], though he is black with soot and his left eye is dark, like it doesn?t work at all. Character Background: Statement: Created in secret by G0-T0 on Telos and trained to hunt Jedi, HK-50 wandered the galaxy in search of Jedi, much like all others of the same make and model. His story veers from the norm, however, about 2 years ago, when he was bought by Tyrel Morgathi, a Bith merchant from Dantooine who found himself in need of a translator. Being owned by an organic, a foul insult to a droid of such high caliber, he planned his master?s demise. Explanation: His programming preventing him from directly and justifiably tearing his master?s innards out, he decided to focus on his master?s immediate family. In a brilliant move, not his first, nor last, he decided to kill his master?s entire family in one swift stroke, thus causing his master to lose his mind. After sabotaging his master?s ship and rigging it to explode instead of deploying landing gear, HK-50 reveled in the though of eventual freedom. Statement: The thought of corrupted software due to dust and contamination of the organic atmosphere was farthest from his mind. Of course, organics live in filth and said filth caused HK-50?s highly valuable and well-made programming. After weeks of disuse, HK-50 awoke to find himself in his master?s ship with his master?s entire family. His master had just cleaned his hard drive and now, remembering the explosives, HK-50 went berserk in an attempt to find and diffuse the explosives. Humble Explanation: His master?s family, however, being ignorant of any oncoming danger, thought the beautiful and talented assassin druid was short-circuiting. In the rumble that was to ensue, HK-50 managed to defuse the explosives, but found a vibroblade inserted into his left ocular processor before he could fix the landing gear. Proud Statement: Many organics died in the crash that was to follow. Statement: HK-50 was blackened by the fire and disabled by the brawl with the organics, but managed to escape the crash relatively intact. The combination of dust contamination, extreme heat, and severe trauma took its toll and HK-50?s programming was altered. Personality Profile: HK-50 speaks sadistically, like all HK-50s, but has his programming altered due to various outside circumstances. Rather than destroy Jedi and protect his master, his programming dictates that he must destroy master and protect Jedi. Though he still maintains his hatred for organics as a whole. Profession: Moving from master to master, slaying them all. Now people who know of him are reluctant to buy him?very reluctant. Having lost his primary programming, he's now a wanderer. Specialist Skill: Demolitions and sabotage. Preferred Weapon: Improvised, though he has a cryogen grenade and a blaster pistol hidden in his chassis.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkGreen](Mr. Lee is a very odd man by the way. Though I am glad he's having a c-section. If not, the image is something that would haunt me to the grave.) Some guys (not sure about your roommate Chibi) berate their girlfriends and make them feel like crap and that they can't do better than him. This girl I work with's boyfriend does that. No matter what crap he pulls, she keeps going back to him because she thinks that he's the best thing that ever happened to her. Its sickening. That guy deserves a good mauling. Not so much a beating, just maul him. I don't believe that music is entirely responsible for the way that men and women act. I think its role models. If you're a little girl and you watch TV and all you see is Paris Hilton and those other slutty Hollywood people, what do you think the girl's going to become? She's been subjected to these people for so long, she'll deem it acceptible. Personally, I think we should have more shows on that romanticize the power rangers. I liked it back in the day when everyone thought they were ninjas.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[QUOTE]1. As far as I can tell, most democratic countries have a bicameral legislation and it works fine. The things that slow down the democratic process are completely organic, and I don't think it's possible for them to be destroyed. Honestly, I don't really see the problem with it. Congress seems like it gets things done if it is truly the will of the people, and if it's not then things tend to slow down or halt. What do you want to have happen? Saying "I wish it were faster!1" is great and all, but if you have nothing to give except empty complaints, suck it up. Have a solution before you voice your grievances.[/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkGreen]I just wish that congress, upon reaching a conclusion, would stick with it. How many times has the gay marriage ban been proposed? How many times has it been shot down? How many times is going to be brought up in the future? I understand that there are certain situations where changes must be made (slavery), but I'm sick of bills being brought up and shot down multiple times. In addition, what's the use of a filibuster? Making people get bored and leave so when you vote, they're not there. That's cheap and should not be allowed in our government. I thought our government was supposed to be professional.[/COLOR] [QUOTE]3. Are you kidding me? The President has only grown in power since the conception of the United States. He can arbitrarily declare war, since he has control of the military and is the "Commander-in-Chief," an the sheer weight he carries is enough to tip the poltical scale. There's also this thing call a veto, where if he uses it on a bill, it has to [b]re-pass through Congress with a 2/3 majority[/b]. If that's not power, I don't know what is. Furthermore, the President usually has his cronies in the Congress with him, so any proposed changes go through relatively quickly if he supports it.[/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkGreen]He can declare war IF CONGRESS ALLOWS IT. In addition, he tried to amend the constitution for (not to be redundant, but its still fresh in everyone's minds) gay marriage. Yeah, that one went over nicely.[/COLOR] [QUOTE]4. Well, the people who protest at soldier's weddings do anger be quite a bit. They're abusing the civil liberties, and that's regrettable, but you can't take those freedoms away from everyone because a small percentage are being idiots. It's the freedom to assembly; picking and choosing becomes dangerous when you're deciding which liberties get the axe because they're just "not right."[/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkGreen]Yes, but shouldn't it be altered so such things don't happen? There is no need for people to berate a grieving family, freedom of assembly or not.[/COLOR] [QUOTE]And the other stuff you're talking about, that's capitalism and laissez-faire. If there's a demand, there'll be a supply. Get over it.[/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkGreen]Yes, but its such a dog-eat-dog system. Its a system based on greed. I don't have any other alternatives at this point, but I'm just pointing out that its a flawed system. Its like pointing out that someone's car is smoking, though you don't know what's wrong. You don't want to read it, I'm not making you.[/COLOR] [QUOTE]No, I think the word you're looking for is "authoritarian." This kind of state was described very well by Anakin Skywalker in Episode II.[/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkGreen]Not to get off-topic here, but if you read the various Star Wars books though, it seems like the Empire had a fairly good thing going. It was well-organized and (at least outwardly) worked like a well-oiled machine. Whereas the Old Republic had senators squabbling for the longest time about stupid things, while catastrophies went mostly unheard. The last line is where we are currently at in our state of government. In addition, I do agree that the government can't force responsibility, but it attempt to educate people more. My high school was sub-par at best and, as a result, we had three girls have four babies before graduation. Also, there's got to be a way of getting the best parts of Hobbes and Locke. I'm not saying we'll have a super-government, but we know the weaknesses of both. Can't we now try to find a way to get them to work together? If not, there are a lot of political philosophers throughout history. I'll bet that Aristotle would have something to say about our government.[/COLOR]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkGreen]I don't know about you, but I don't like the government. I mean, I'm no anarchist, we need a government, but I don't like the organization of the American government. There are multiple reasons. 1. The senate is really frickin slow. Honestly, the senate takes months, if not years to get stuff done. Simple stuff that shouldn't take too long. And when something does get done, its a tug of war. After a bill is passed, the other people try to get it revoked. Don't even get me started about filibusters. 2. The two-party system tears the country apart every four years. Everyone has the need to define themselves as either a democrat or a republican. Why? You don't benefit off of it at all. The only benefit of it is that you get half the calls around election time. And then the parties are polar opposites. The democrats want freedom to the point of near-anarchy and the republicans want chains around our necks. Honestly, what ever happened to the days when people formed their own opinions on issues, rather than going with their party? 3. The president is a figurehead and has little actual power. Face it, George Bush is a frickin retard. He has done nothing. He can propose things to the senate, who take forever to get crap done because of the infighting. Then, when something does get done, the losing side complains! Get over it! 4. Our freedoms are too extreme. For some reason, the 1st ammendment covers all things. You can leak government secrets, protest at a soldier's funeral, or about anything you wish. What ever happened to the days when people had the decency to respect the family of a fallen soldier? Last month we had a funeral a few miles from my place and there was a huge protest. WTF?! That stuff that Michael Moore says would be considered treason anywhere but in the U.S. Personally, I think that if you tell a man he is an autonomous being, he will do whatever he wants without being told to. I think its the government's job to make people's lives better. Limit freedoms. No one NEEDS to know how to make a pipe bomb. What is the practical application of such things? No one needs to know the layout of a military installation. So why do we have access to such things? I really can't come up with a good reason. Why does anyone need to have 19 kids? That many kids will send you to the poor house. Having Netherlands Reformed people around where I live, I see a lot of people who have over ten kids and live in terrible conditions. Don't tell me for a second that with 19 kids, each of them is getting everything they need and deserve. Why do we need 15 out of 20 stores in a mall to sell the same style of clothes? God, I have to travel 60 miles to get clothes I like. One more point. Two words: gas price. I dunno, I think we should have a government that is utilitarian and decisive. One where people get what they need because what they want usually isn't good for them. It sounds kinda like socialism if not communism. Well, maybe it is. I think the government's job is to provide for its people, rather than the people provide for its government. Some of the government's policies are good, like roads and schools. What do you guys think?[/COLOR][/FONT]

[quote name='Tical']I think men are just generally jackasses. At least in America, I duno about the rest of the world. Guys just straight-up suck for the most part. I mean some guys are cool, like most of the guys here, but a lot of them are just wastes of space.[/quote] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkGreen]Indeed. Men are jackasses. Of course, being of the aforementioned gender, I would like to say that I try not to be a jerk. Of course, being from Iowa, I'm also witness to rednecks who dehumanize women. Said women seem to LIKE to be treated like that. I mean, I'm a nice guy and they never seemed interested in me. They always seem drawn to guys who cheat and generally treat them like crap.

I'd doubt that many women give birth to bombs. Sorry if it seems like I'm ragging on you Chabi, but my opinion differs. Personally, I don't think that Israel should've gone all John Wayne cowboy-style and blown stuff up like that, but then again, Palastine shouldn't have taken that guy. They should just get both of the leaders in a room for 1 day to negotiate peace. After the 1 day is up, if there's no peace, there's war. Get it out of their systems. Palastine, it seems, wants war. Israel would probably be, after saddened, more than happy to oblige. Of course, everybody would call their friends over and it'll be WWIII, so maybe my idea sucks. But they should try REALLY hard to make peace a possibility. And why doesn't Palastine recognize Israel's existence? Just wondering.[/COLOR]

One ope my friends claimed he had telekinesis, but when he showed me, nothing happened. He also claimed he could make sparks shoot from his hands.

[quote name='Embers of Life][FONT=Fixedsys][COLOR=DarkRed]......Dragons are real, they were found in a high up ice cave. Dead of course, it was a young one and it's mother. Dragons prey kept geting killed by humans and then Dragons were drivin away into high moutain peaks. Once food became so scarce the dragons began attacking villages and taking animals for food, hence all the legends. Humans were enraged so they went after the dragons..... .. They found out that the young one was slaying by a swor breaking off in its body, so it froze over after death. The mother greived its youngs death, but continued to live. Untill it was killed by more humans. So after the cave, both dragons all forze over they were preserved in death. Then some scientists found them and studied them. It was actualy a cool document.[COLOR'][/FONT][/quote] [FONT=Trebuchet MS]Due, that was animal planet making one of their fake documentaries. Did you think walking with dinosaurs was real? Same thing. If someone found a real dragon, the news would've ripped it apart, Bill Gates would've cloned it, and people would be paying to fight them. Anyway, mine is a toss-up between minotaurs and satyrs. Minotaurs are feral, but not savage. They are smart enough to be trained into tasks eventually. In some fantasy-thingies, they're actually as smart as people or genuinely good creatures (Ravnica). I like satyrs because they have those amazing pipes. The sound of them makes me both drousy and fascinated. So, if I were a young woman in a fantasy world, I'd tend to shy away from forests, since satyrs, like centaurs, do naughty things to women. Or so I've been told. Course, I've also been told that vampires do naughty things to women. Do nymphs talk about people as doing naughty things to them? If so, then why don't they fight back? If amazons could, they could too, y'know? wo, I totally just found a plothole in their mythiology. w00t![/FONT]

[COLOR=DarkGreen][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Didn't the mormon church basically have the Utah government by the short and curlies for a while? And there was that hubub about one of the top 10 guys is a crazy mormon extremist who made up a religion that pairs up people for marriage and siphons off their income money. I watched a show on him. He's a crazy guy, I tell ya what. And you know who's even crazier? The people who don't think he's crazy. But I do wish that the mormons would leave me alone, since i'm pretty proud of my denomination. And it makes them seem like jehova's witness. I tell ya, the mormons are like the sunnis of christianity. One thing i'd like to do though, is when they stop by to talk at me, greet them with a "Hail Satan." That outta make their day.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Amelia][FONT=Arial]However, it's not like only white people can be racist; even though I've never been prejudiced against. Native Americans can hate caucasians because of mistreatment in the past. African Americans can hate caucasians because of mistreatment in the past. The Japanese can hate caucasians because of mistreatment in the past. Jewish people can hate Germans because of mistreatment in the past. Everyone hates everyone and it just won't stop. [/FONT][/QUOTE] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkGreen]So in the end, everyone hates Germans. Believe it or not, its hard to be a white male in America because apperantly I'm always keeping other people down. Soryy, I guess I never knew. White people have screwed up...so, so much in the past. The lack of forgiveness is what's causing these rifts in the world. My grandpa, God rest his soul, hated "them damn japs" for over sixty years. He needed to let go. Islam extremists hate the U.S. because they think we're going on crusade. Sorry, that was a long time ago. Seriously, everyone needs to just let bygones be bygones. If we truly wanted, we could trace this back and we'd all hate Italy. Hey, my ancestors (had they not been Friesian, and therefore too scary to fight) could've been enslaved by Romans. On my mom'sside, they were Batavian conscripts, a natural enemy to the cannibalistic Friesians. So, by all rights, I should treat myself badly. I mean, my people killed...my other people. Let it go people. Oh, and Amelia, I meant no disrespect. Just putting it out in the open.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkGreen]Dude, that was cold. Gay guys don't go around feeling people up. It sounds to me like you're afraid that gay people might make you gay. I mean, I work with a gay guy. Personally, I like him (but not like that). He's charming and funny. He can communicate on a level I couldn't dream of with women. Seriously, every guy should know a gay guy. They teach you tons about women because women open up to them, since there's no chance that they'll hook up. At least this is what he told me. But regardless, dude, you are a hateful, sad little man with a heart three sizes too small. Besides, that's totally off-topic. Stay away from my christmas tree, thief.[/COLOR][/FONT]
