Korey

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]I like to lurk out in the open. It's much more creepy when you see me doing stuff like looking at your profile or pretending to send you a PM. Then when you don't get one you're like. "WTF wasn't he sending me a PM? WHAT IS HE DOING?!!!"[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote name='Sangome'][SIZE="1"]1: Do you want one or both? cause there's two: Cleveland and Los Angeles. [/SIZE][/QUOTE] [FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]That's pretty impressive, so I'll add a bonus point for that. Gome nails another round. Here's the answers, just for obligation's sake. 1) Los Angeles 2) I am America (and so can you!) So the current score is: Gome: 5 Pikaquil: 0 Miss Anonymous: 0 ~~~~~~~~~~~ Today's questions are: 1) What is the name of the government's program to give out money for cars that don't achieve a certain gas mileage? 2)What is the name of the disorder that is characterized by being obsessively cleanly and having things in order. ~~~~~~~~~~ Good Luck Contestants :catgirl: [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote name='Raiha'][COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]Why do people want the government to do things for them? Where does personal responsibility begin and end? Why do we want a nanny state? When did human beings become so helpless and shiftless and pointless?[/COLOR][/FONT][/quote] [FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="navy"] I don't know about you, but I thought it was the government's [B]job[/B] to make sure that people live in a nation where people are taken care of, regardless of their financial standing. I've heard that some nations rebel against their governments when people aren't getting the basic things they need because of cost. But I could be speculating, of course.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [Quote][COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]Everyone here appears to believe that the welfare of an individual is dependent on the actions of the state. Why? And what makes you believe that the government can spend money that isn't actually in the bank to benefit everyone? Will it truly benefit everyone? Or just the people who have access? What incentive will doctors have to stay here?[/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] [FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]Well I guess that the same thing can be said about spending on the department of defense. Where is the government getting the money to finance all of the escapades we had and all the weapons development, deployment costs and general upkeep of the Armed Forces? I believe that a universal health care system only threatens the buisnesses that have caused medical costs to be almost unaffordable for some Americans. This system gives everyone coverage, no matter what their financial placement may be. I'd rather live with that sentiment than continue to trudge along with our current system, where so many have applied for Medi-Care or Medic-aid that the funds are running dry for those who actually NEED the help more than others (I heard of a few cases where people used Medi-care to get prescription pain killers for something that simple dose of OTC Tylenol would have fixed. Migraines? Please.)[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]Day 1 is over, contestants.[B] Sangome [/B]takes the first round, nailing both answers. The answers are: [I]1) Sonia Sotomayor 2)Misty[/I] So the current score is: [B]Sangome-2 Pikaquil-0 Miss Anonymous-0[/B] ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Today's questions are: [I]1) Before relocating to St. Louis, what city did the NFL Rams play in? 2) Stephen Colbert's book, where he explains his thoughts on topics ranging from science to religion[/I] ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Good Luck contestants!

[quote name='Rachmaninoff']And I see you've forgotten that the only reason I saw it, was on account of my sending a pm to you for someone else. =P[/QUOTE] [FONT= "Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE=1][Color="Navy"]Oh I didn't forget why you sent the PM originally. You have to admit, that's kind of funny. " Stop looking at my profile. I can see you lurking, it's creepy" ._. Me: *lurk lurk lurk*[/Color][/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote name='Raiha'][COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]Because it turns out to be the same thing as a parent who has the funds or the voucher to send their child to a private school. They're still paying taxes to the public school system, even when they're not using it.[/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] [FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE=1][COLOR="Navy"] I live in a home that people's tax dollars payed for. I have free health care that other people pay the taxes for. So.....am I a wasteful American for not paying for my own insurance or property taxes? Do I have to just suck it up and pay for all of those things that taxpayers pay for because the average American doesn't have those benefits? Just because you aren't directly benefiting from the services that taxes provide, does not exclude you from paying to help fund public services. I'm a firm supporter of the government trying to change or tweak our current health care system. Too many people can't afford to see a doctor and have the proper care they need. Regardless of one's financial situation, getting basic care for free by paying for it in taxes is a good thing. You want SSA to hand you a check every month when you retire,but getting health care that's across the board for everyone is out of the question? Several European nations have public health care systems and the quality of their health care systems is top-notch in some cases. I just fail to comprehend how something that would benefit all Americans can be a bad thing... [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]I could say something sarcastic and mean, but I'll pass this time. If you're not sure if she "likes you" likes you, then just ask her out. If she says no, then that's that. Your question is answered, problem solved. FYI, I have a very close friend who is female and while we flirt a lot, there's nothing there. I'm faithful to my girlfriend and I can still be really good friends with another female. Don't assume that every female that smiles and stares at you is wanting to play tonsil hockey with you.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote name='Rachmaninoff']Oh it is, but unless I have a reason to look, I rarely look at a member's profile. Anyway, welcome back then. You're giving life to the sentiment that once you join OB, you can never get free. =P[/QUOTE] [FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]Remember when I looked at your profile and you got all freaked out? Could have sworn I was gonna give you an infraction for something.... :p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]Alright season two is now underway. This week's theme is"Random Select" meaning the questions can be about anything! Good luck, contestants.:catgirl: The first two questions are: 1) This judge was the first hispanic Supreme Court Justic for the United States. 2) Ash's first female companion. Also, the Cerulean Gym Leader. Again, good luck and have fun with this you guys ^_~[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]I know some animals can express anger, thus "When animals Attack". But PETA has a lot of controversial or downright silly campaigns to make sure animals are ethically treated. However, I don't think we'll be seeing people throwing red cans of paint on people who eat at McDonalds. Not that Mickey D's really cares. They serve billions.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote name='Allamorph'][FONT=Arial]There was a copy of Pokemon Crystal in the GameBoy SP I found in a trash can (which is still in perfect working order, go figure). I put the game back in the trash can and kept the handheld.[/FONT][/QUOTE] [FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]Someone obviously got their butt handed to them by a level 60 Dragonite with Extremespeed and they couldn't do any damage to it and their Cloyster got KO'd by an Arcanine. In a fit of rage, they hurled the SP from their 4th story apartment window, where it conviently landed in the trash can that Allamorph was conviently by. Our dashing young basement cat quickly snatched the handheld, realizing this was his chance for greatness! But what had become of the poor Pokemon game? It was taken to the giant smelting pot in the sky, where all former Pokemon games go to melt and be re-made into Ford Excursions[/COLOR][/SIZE]. [/FONT]

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]Proof that Indi lurks a tad bit too hard. Lol anyways, nice to see you (again) Affliction. I wonder if the site can ever have something like TheOtaku where you can just have a customized "style" of posting to where you don't have to put in the tags everytime, instead it just auto-formats your post when you click "Submit Reply" Is that possible, James?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]Activision is hard at work again, with the newest entries in their "Hero" series. The latest installment on the horizon is [B]Guitar Hero 5[/B], promises to deliver things that previous titles haven't done: Forward compatiblity on songs. According to Ign.com, Guitar Hero 5 will allow rockers to import the set lists from [b]Guitar Hero: World Tour[/b] and [b]Guitar Hero: Smash Hits[/b] into the game, for a nominal fee. Tim Riley, head of music liscensing at Activision explains that the company has been wanting to do this for a long time. [quote name=' Tim Riley, originally from IGN.com']"They are separate licenses, so we need to go back and re-license previous content. So, songs from World Tour, songs from the download space, songs from Smash Hits that will technically work in Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero had to be renegotiated...We didn't want to do it for a couple songs. We wanted to do it for a couple hundred songs. So we have a lot cleared and we're in the process of clearing a lot more."[/quote] The game also boasts a new "Party Mode", where gamers can simply plug in their instruments and play the game without having to sign into the game under profiles. The mode also allowers rockers to begin playing in the middle of the song. Another new feature is to allow multiple instruments of the same variety (i.e. two electric guitars) to be played by simultaniously. No more fighting over who has to play bass. The game also includes new online features and the ability to play with 8 people at the same time.

[SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"][font="franklin gothic medium"]Hello everyone, sorry for the hiatus.

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"]John took my idea :l Oh well. I guess I would say I believe in the basic messages of Christianity, but I don't associate myself with any Church in particular. Every church interprets the bible differently and I'd rather interpret it for myself and take what I want from it. So I guess I'm just a Christian?[/FONT]

[quote name='chibi-master']Is it alright for me to hate most politicians and voters for getting people my age into debt before we even get the chance to get out into the world? Or would that be considered bratty?:confused:[/QUOTE] [FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"]No I actually share the same sentiment. I'm already 9,000 bucks in the hole and I haven't even finished school yet. So, trust me dearie. You're not alone.[/FONT]

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][COLOR="DarkGreen"]Sometimes I'm reminded of why I get along better with women than men. My buddies that I hang out with and play video games with act like idiots because I happened to disagree with one person's opinion. I swear, I'm back in high school. Guy #1: That guy is a wannabe, here's a real pro right here *points to japanese guy on the computer screen* Me: So what place did you get in that tournament? Guy #1: I didn't go to that one. Me: ....... Everyone else: OHHHHH, Korey called you out. Me: No I didn't. I just don't like to cast judgement on people who I don't know.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT= Franklin Gothic Medium] I 've managed to collect almost every PS2 [b] Street Fighter[/b] game. I used to be big into [b] Magic: The Gathering[/b] and still have a rather large collection of cards in a box in my closet. I also have a bunch of football/ baseball cards that I could probably sell, but I'm lazy and don't want to look up card prices.[/FONT]

[quote name='chibi-master'].........I'm scared.........O_O[/QUOTE] [FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][COLOR="DarkGreen"]His name says it all. Allamorph, meaning shapeshifter. He's never the same basement cat twice. I decided I like Dark Green again.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT= Franklin Gothic Medium] Ran out of people interested in it. The laste few contestants showed up late and frazzlemerfed the whole set up. So, it's on hiatus. Unless you really want it to continue.[/FONT]

You did not just say tee-hee...........*shakes head* Anyways, I found this to be rather amusing on Urban Dictionary. [Quote] Allamorph isn't defined, [i][u][COLOR="Blue"]yet[/COLOR][/u][/i][/quote]
