Actually i don't like that Naruto is [spoiler]wind based. I'm a big Temari fan, and if they are gonna do it this way i hope he dosen't start a library of wind-based jutsu and it's just this one. Since it's too late to change it already, otherwise i'd perfer him be earth. Would have been funny to see the paper do a little bit of everything, and see Kakashi's reaction to that. Like slices in half, crumples, gets wet than burns and turns into dust[/spoiler]

Not afraid to say it, I have to admit I can really get involved sometimes and i like immersing myself in the mood of the situation. There have actually been a few times i let it out: Fullmetal Alchemist - [spoiler]Hughes's funeral scene. Not the moment he gets killed, but seeing his daughter hysterical asking why her daddy isn't coming back if he has work to finish and all that...it really sent me over the edge.[/spoiler] Trigun - [spoiler]Wolfwood's death scene, which happens to be my favorite death scene in all of anime, it was done excellently and it was really tragic. Wolfwood who often contradicts his own religion because of his profession, and finally pleading to god to allow him to live out his changed life with those he came to care about.[/spoiler] Naruto - [spoiler]The whole story between Chouji and Shikamaru after Chouji defeated Jirobou, and they made it look like he might have died. It was a touching story about friendship, which i'm glad was a stronger theme throughout the series than love or death. It just fit better.[/spoiler] I'm sure there might have been a few more moments that made me feel close to it and really sad, but those are the real crying moments i remember.

You applaud your girlfriend for wanting to try out new positions, but you should remind her that this one may be a bit difficult for you since your a ceiling virgin.

I too feel that the new Akatsuki members are a bit on the lame side. Itachi and Kisame continue to be my favorites, i could tolerate deidara and i rather liked Sasori. As for everything else thats been going on, it looks like Asuma is taking a larger role finally. I was always a fan of his, even when he was just standing around being shika/ino/chou's sensei.

[b]Edit[/b]: Changed allies section to accomodate Lady Key. Elaborated a bit on the forms Noxious Mist can take in abilities/magic section. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [COLOR=Blue][SIZE=1]Real Name: Matt Braddack Age: 19 Delta Name: Elliot Lamorté (Ell-e-it - La-mor-tay) Delta Age: 24 Team: Sigma Fi Omega Class: Dark Knight Player Rank: Weapon: [URL=http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/9752/reaver0ju.png]Dark Reaver[/URL] - Worn fastened to his back when not in use. Uses no secondary weapon but relies on hand to hand skills to aid him with weapon or when disarmed. Reaver has the potential to conduct certain black magic skills, a feature Elliot still works hard to perfect. Personality: Matt's Delta alter-ego, Elliot, is like a demon in battle. He fights viciously and rarely toys with his opponents in serious fights. His standards for whom he considers to be his enemies are fairly low, as he will be more than willing to slay anyone who opposes or angers him. His weapon of choice is his Dark Reaver which allows him to strike deadly blows to multiple opponents at a time, though he greatly prefers one on one battles. He will almost never ask for help when fighting and will often issue warnings to his opponents about his power before launching an offensive. He won't reveal all of his power and skill to an opponent he deems unworthy or too weak, and considers it an insult to his sword as well as himself to waste his time with weaklings. Only to his allies is Elliot known as a reliable and intellegent person. Though he is very confident (and at times arrogant) in his own abilities, he respects his allies of Sigma Fi Omega but will not always express it. Elliot despises cowardice, lying, and idiocy above all things. Though being an appreciator of solitude, he enjoys the company of anyone who can who can keep up in sparring with him, and occaisionally attractive women. Elliot cares little about the suspicions surrounding him and his allies concerning the dissapearence of Callipso, and has no problem with anyone who wishes to confront him about it. His only motivation to find out the real where abouts of the creator come from his desire to regain the freedom to log out. He feels the higher ups of the Delta world are out of line and inept and despises having his life restricted by them. In reference to his allies: Elliot seems to have a closer connection to Dri than with his other allies. He mostly welcomes her company and trusts her because she is a fellow dark knight and is even at times subtly protective of her, something he would never admit. He acknolwedges the skills of all of his allies, and is trusting of Jhoon-kim for his fighting ability, and Talent for his craftiness (though he often admonishes his boasting). He trusts Lady Key and accepts her as a leader but will often think she is too easy-going when it comes to dealing with enemies. When fighting in units, Elliot works well with Key since he can use Reaver to combine with some of her black magic attacks. Abilities/Magic: -Noxious Mist: Elliot conjures a poisonous mist to obstruct the senses and strength of his opponent. It normally engulfs a large area and stays constant on the battle ground unless concentrated into another form such as an individual cloud or a line of mist. Elliot has a strong resistance to the effects, but is rendered completely immune when holding Reaver. It causes gradual weakness, sluggishness in movement, decreased hearing and causes vision to blur and make it appear as if Elliot (or whichever of his allies the opponent is fighting) has silhouettes surrounding them. It takes time and concentration to conjure and it is mostly used to support an ally or when involved in a lengthy battle[/SIZE] [/COLOR] Picture: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/LanHikari89/sfo03.png[/IMG]

Hm, lesse. Anime is defintly one of my major interests but i do have quite a few others. I'm big into writing, hoping to turn it into some kind of career as long as it's less lack-luster then the majority of writing jobs out there. I'd call myself a writer without any professional endorsements, but most of the stuff i write cept for the articles i send to theotaku are mainly for my self enjoyment. I write fiction stories, fanfics, articles, pretty much anything i find interesting. I also specialize in persuasive writing. If i had to do anything else as a profession it would be psychology based. I've been interested in psychology and the way the human mind works and what it's capable of since high school. I've got an innate knack for it and have taken many courses already, i definitely wouldn't be who i am today without any of it. I'm also into RPGs, which may be considered part of being an otaku as well, but it's worth mentioning outside of that possible context. I'm a fan of all types, traditoinal, SRPG, hack and slash, etc. I'm a dedicated fan of anything square-enix puts out (though i personally liked things better before the merger) and pretty much anything Atlus and Working Designs endorsed (back when WD was still in business). I played EQ for 2 years but been off the MMO scene since i stopped. I'm into wrestling, and i'm not talking about WWE or the whole "sports entertainment" deal. Up in the northeast theres a very well known indy called Ring of Honor which offers the best of all aspects of wrestling any true fan needs. The athletes of the present and the future. Me and my friends go to shows every few months, we got one coming up on august 4th. I like baseball, playing and watching though i prefer to be at a live game if i'm watching it. Favorite team is the N.Y Mets, and it's about damn time they started kicking ***. Obviously into music and all the normal stuff that everyone pretty much mentions, hanging out with friends, etc etc. Also pretty much into anything that interests me about asian culture, i'm part chinese and i've acquired a liking to japanese culture (anime of course included). Of course i like women, but its unfortunate that I haven't been too succesful in that category as of late. Thats bout it for the noteworthy stuff...

Also don't forget [spoiler]Gluttony was taking part in a nice feast a la philospher's stone while Al was incapacitated on the array. So it is understood it enhanced gluttony, which is also a probable explanation for his transformed state in the movie as well.[/spoiler]

I'm a big time geek. I think being into anime as much as i am already gives me good enough reason to call myself that, but throw in that i'm a huge RPG fan, both traditional and MMO (though i haven't played an MMO in a couple of years), star wars fan, LOTR fan, i'm a fan of most of Marvel comics but X-men is by far my favorite. There are probably many things that me and my friends have discussed about these topics, but one off the top of my head and our latest convo was about whether or not Jedis get payed. If you recall in episode 1, Quai Gon mentions that he has Republic credits to pay Watto (which aren't accepted) but is this a result of travelling with with government officials or is it out of his personal pocket from Jedi missions? They emphasize strongly Jedi being a way of life, and not so much focus on it being a profession, so what do you think the policy is on whether they get payed or not? (or maybe the answer has been revealed already and I just missed it)

I'm not saying it's our ultimate goal, like what we live for. I mean it's our addiction, to the masses it's a form of recognition. Maybe not as strong within some people, but it's been proven time and time again that people often believe their worth is measured in belongings. There are plenty of people out there who don't feel this way, and like you are content with what they have. But your in the minority. It's not to say however that somewhere down the line you won't be struck with the need to get your hands on this and that.

Personally, if i have to see that "Big, Buuuucckkkin chicken!" burger king commercial one more time i'm gonna toss a bowling ball at my TV. It was bad enough when they did it for the regular tendercrisp, now they've renewed it for the spicy one. Great sandwhich, but the commercial is annoying as hell.

Actually, in terms of dog years when they reach their first year, somewhere between then and their second year is the equivalent to the age a human would enter sexual maturity. So it's safe to call the dog "adult" by his age of about 1 and a half or 2 years. Depending on the size/breed of the dog their lifespans vary but a good portion of breeds's full adult lifespan range between age 1 through somewhere between 9 and 11. In between 9 and 11 is probably when to consider your dog the equivalent to a senior citizen human. This of course isn't neccesarily the whole lifespan of the dog, i'm sure many of lived past the early teens. I've had 2 dogs in the past, not very good experiences with either when it came to the end since one ran away and the other we gave away...i'm a dog lover though and hope to get one of my own (welsh corgie or golden retriver preferred) when i move into my own place. I don't know much about training, but i do know people that have continually trained their dogs throughout several of their younger years. Obviously the younger the better though.

I have quite a lot of favorite bands, but one i've recently really gotten into and have a lot of songs from is Anberlin. Bands and singers work in a funny way with me, usually it's a "flavor of the month" deal and i'll find a band i like and after i've played out all the songs i'll move on. Aerosmith, RHCP, Linkin Park, and Foo Fighters are the only ones that never usually play out with me, i can listen to songs like Californication or Fly Away from Here over and over. As for japanese music, Naruto, FMA, and Bleach have gotten me big into Orange Range and Asian Kung-fu Generation, i have a bunch of songs from both and they are both overall very good bands, not just the few song wonders used for the animes. Right now i'm really into Anberlin though, Paperthin Hymn being my favorite song.

Honestly, theres nothing really special about how i came here i guess. I saw this site on a search engine while i was looking for wallpapers. I did come exploring and made Theotaku.com my new source for anime related things. I read articles, looked at wallpapers and fan art and such for months before i actually joined up. Then one day i just decided "well i've been coming here for however long, might as well check out the boards". So i signed up hoping to find people with strong common interests as myself and hoped to have some interesting and intellegent conversations. I've yet to make any real friends yet, but i suppose i'm still new. It's still a somewhat nice atmosphere compared to many other boards i've been too. As for everything else, writing is my strong point so im starting to submit articles. So i'm pretty involved as it stands now.

Humans will never be satisfied with what they have, because the ultimate desire of your typical human is to want more then what they have. But upon obtaining more and more, the goals must change because their previous goal of obtaining those items have now been met, so the goal becomes to obtain something else that they don't have yet. We get a playstation, when PS2 comes out we want that or when we buy a 2004 model car, we want the 2006 model car that's new and supposedly improved. One keeps acquiring and acquiring but satisfaction will never completely be had even past when we die because there will always be something else that isn't in our "collection of stuff". Things go out of date, become archaic, things come out that redefine certain categories and in order to keep up with the times, people get whatever is within their power to get. Whether it pertains to material objects or feelings or other people, most likely we want most what is most out of our reach because even where temporary satisfaction can be had from those things within our power to have, we receive no satisfaction from lacking. It creates inadequacy and makes us feel like we won't be able to be as good as we could be or be as valued as we could be if we had that item/person/feeling. Our desire becomes stronger when we think about how much "better" we think it will make our life. Of course, if we somehow do receive these things, the same cycle will probably happen, and we will just want something else eventually. We hate what we already have (or not so much hate, as forsake) because once we've used whatever it is to it's fullest extent, it becomes obsolete and therefore it's value decreased as well as it's importance to us in comparison to things we've yet to experience or have yet to obtain. It's all a matter of how quickly everyone can keep up with one another in the times. It's well known that people rate their own self worth based on what the have to show for themselves, whether be in the form of wealth, materials, or a significant other. Things only really last when we have emotional attachments to them, or create those kinds of bonds with anything new we acquire. Otherwise it's just an expendable object or person that serves a purpose only within a particular amount of time, which ends when it stops amusing us or satisfying us. The things worth chasing after are the things that will last the longest and will make us feel good simply because it makes us smile and inhabits our mind each setting sun and each waking hour making us greatful for it and leaving our mind in anguish thinking about how life would be if the feeling were to ever be lost. Not the things that make us happy because it gives us a reason to compare our lives with one anothers. A common example of this is to chase after love, or the "right" girl or the "right" guy, but that out of all things rarely ever gets done right the first time around. The same kind of happiness i believe can be found in simpler things as well, such as ones career or family. It's a matter of how everyone prioritizes everything in their life, people need to decide whats going to make them happy long term and whats going to make them happy short term.

It never will be possible. Everyone is too full of themselves to believe that they could possibly do something wrong and nobody wants to accept that they aren't perfect. Everyone is going to want to do their own thing unhindered and worry only about themselves.

[QUOTE=Tical]Constantly here on OB we discuss the problems of the world, annunciating our opinions and sharing our experiences. So my question is... what can be done to solve the world's problems? What is your ideal visage of the world? I won't give an example... because all I can see to help is the eradication of all existance.[/QUOTE] I agree. That is the only definite way. Too many measures would need to be taken, and in which case theres no garauntee any of them would even work because people have minds of their own and everyone is going to want to do their own thing, to try and control every aspect of how people act and what they do is tyrannical, so we wouldn't even be able to begin to try and solve things that way. It's really just a matter of everyone's morals and in what kind of a world they want to make it for their children. This is as it pertains to everything really.

Ok, i tried pretty hard not to fall into this and post my opinion...but i guess the idea of people walking around with a false idea about some of these situations bugs me. Um, lesse first off props to Silver_Blade for his post, the majority of what he said makes a lot of sense and for the most part is true. Now on to the topic, which around the middle somewhere is bound to digress into something else but nonetheless will be supportive of the initial argument. This is an unbiased post, i do not hate women, i do not hate men (in fact i hate humanity to be fair to everyone) but in any case this is mostly from experience whether it be personal or secondary. First off. The standards of old have drastically changed into today's world. It's rediculous that people still have these expectations that are anything but time tested. But unfortunatley today's generation is not yet completely devoid of this kind of influence, as i'm sure like myeself many people's parents out there (if your around the ages of 18-25, possibly younger and most definitly older) have raised you with certain ideals from their time of youth and how they themselves were raised to think. People take that to heart without ever putting in the time to logically think about how it matches up with today's time through their own experience and continue to use the term "Well, that's how i was raised". Don't get me wrong, i don't fully disagree with this...i myself live by how i was raised in certain ways, belief in god and my religion being one. However in my eyes, the truth in believing in this has proven itself to me many times throughout my life. My apologies to those who do not believe in faith or god or any of that, this is not what i wish to digress into, but it is an example of why i am not against people living by how they were raised. I'm not against it if you can find truth within the ideal throughout the course of YOUR life. There is no appeal to ignorance here, it isn't right only because theres no proof that it's wrong. It has to be the other way around, it's right because theres proof that it's right. That's what makes a solid argument, and it's what makes a solid belief. How this pertains to the way women are treated nowadays. Women want to be equal to men...they want equality, they want respect, they want pretty much everything. Through my experiences, women believe that because they simply are women they deserve all of this right away. I have not met a single girl or woman in my life (with the exceptions of college professors) who does not believe that they are entitled to something based solely on their gender. I say this, and i've had plenty agree with me before, that if women want to be equal and they want the same respect, then do something to earn it or prove that they want it in some way. Don't say "women can do the same jobs as men, and should be able to" but then don't go out of your way to get one of those jobs. Don't say "men shouldn't cheat on women because it's wrong and disgusting" and then go and cheat on your man. This is bad in two ways. One, women become ignorant and self-absorbed to the gross point of their own delusions convincing them that they should be treated like royalty by men and should get what they want from those around them. Two, men take advantage of this point and use it to degrade women with no real reason other then to fuel their own egos. Again i'll repeat, this is an unbiased post, both are very much in the wrong here. For the specific reason given in the topic starter's post, the guys had no real reason (unless details were left out purposely) to say and do what they did. Without any actual provocation, men will act that way toward women for their own sake which is just idiocy on their part. It's also generalization on their part, which given the right experiences is acceptable in thought but not in action...but with no support is pure ignorance. When it comes to how the sexes deal with one another, women are already started off wrong in life when they are raised on such principles portrayed through most disney movies. I've seen it before, girls actually grow up believing that some modern day version of a "prince" is going to come rescue them from whatever plight they think they are facing. They expect their man to be strong, dark, handsome, supportive and pretty much a slave to their needs. Or translated into modern day; hot, lots of money, nice car, and pretty much a slave to their needs. As already mentioned, women think that they are already entitled to this breed, regardless of the type of person THEY are. It seems to be a forced assimilation into the concept of a gender role, atleast in their eyes. It's proof of the self-absorbed and narrow minded nature of most females. Not saying men aren't, i'm saying women are more prone to be this way. As mentioned in Silver_Blade's post, men are raised with the negative influence from their father or father figure a good majority of the time to act like an idealistic form of a man, defined by the closest man in your life. Just as it is with determining your own truth in your upbringing, you must determine what the definition of being a man is for yourself and let it evolve through your personal experiences, and your personal beliefs, not what someone else expects of you and simply for that reason alone. If you get hurt, and you want to cry, then f***ing cry. Theres no shame in it. If you want to suck it up, and forget about it, then suck it up. Do whatever it is YOU have come to the conclusion of what it means to be a man, just make sure your reacting the way you want to react, and not the way someone else wants you to. Do it for the right reasons if your going to do it. Now i don't have a problem with women being emotional, because it's an aspect of all humans that should be encouraged, again just as i said back when i commented on Silver_Blade's post. Indeed it should be socially acceptable for both men and women to display openly their emotions no matter what the situation. It is completely their perogative. However, women do tend to be emotional more over matters that require much less then what they give...some would call this being "over-emotional" or being a "drama queen". I've seen plenty of this too. But what i think is an even bigger tragedy is when men acquire the belief that if they even show their emotions, its a sign of weakness and contradictory to being a man. I'm sure i've made plenty of friends of the women on this board already...but i'll repeat again it is an unbiased post and this is through my personal experiences and logical deduction from surveys, testimonials, etc. In no way am i generalizing every women out there like this, but the majority are. Now i'm not going to disagree with the whole "men are jackasses" comment, because well...we are. Why deny something that's true? That goes for both genders. Self-realization and knowing the true nature of your own personality is the most important thing to know in this world, whether it be bad or good from any POV. Men are jackasses and usually ignorant (i've immunized myself from ignorance through several different methods of advanced thinking...that's what a great interest in psychology will do to ya) where as women are bitchy and usually self-absorbed. In most cases, the reason men act the way they do is because it is fueled by how women act toward them in general. It is like a cause and effect deal. I've already explained how women are most inclined to think, and men's response to this state of mind is mostly negative and comes out in different ways. Verbal abuse and slander being one of the most abundant. But if you ever have the privilege to see what a man is like around a women who acts nicely to them and dosen't give him a reason to feel such feelings of contempt and the both of them can appreciate each other for how they make one another feel, you will see that a man is fully capable of treating a women the way women think they should always be treated. It is when you give us a reason to treat you that way, you are treated that way. Men aren't incapable of loving, it's more difficult for us to find love because it is difficult for us to find a woman who is willing to give as much as she wants to take, or feel as if she dosen't need to take anything. This can go the other way too, if men initially treat women with respect for whatever reason may it be they were raised that way or simply because they are humanitarians, women should be more inclined to treat them well. But again from my experience, this is less likely to happen. When i was in high school i used to never be able to understand why men can treat women as badly as they do. But when i began to see more and more of the reality about it and i myself began to be treated with undeserved disrespect and disdain despite my positivley intended actions, i realized how much more difficult it is to get through to a women's sense of justice. I can fully understand from both POVs, how it's justified to hate the opposite sex for whatever reason, but in my personal opinion women are lower on the downward spiral than men are, and the majority of arguments i receive for this view-point is due to the fact that people can't accept the truth about themselves and become angered to find out they are wrong.This is also another natural human response. If a man legitimately treats a women with intended disrespect for NO reason, meaning no provocation and just simply walks up to you while your standing around and goes "Hey B**ch!" or makes another sexual or racial slur...than that's his own problem, he's got his own issues, you didn't do anything...don't sweat it. Respond if you want, but take responsibility for your actions, and don't blame it completely on the guy. It takes two to create a conflict. Again i apologize if this had offended anyone, and i'll repeat one last time that this is an unbiased post, because i am able to pinpoint the negative points of both genders as well as catagorize myself in a few of the negative points of males as well. This is what i see in today's world, and from what i've seen it's only going to get worse. I'm not one to support either because as i mentioned before, i hate humans. Humans are the filth that run this planet. I personally am usually polite to women when it comes to the small things, like holding doors open, or helping them out of cars, or whatever it may be. I even try to watch my language when i'm around women (don't know why that is, i find i just do that though), but i don't expect much in return. It's a little something to make me feel like the better person inside. I don't do it out of respect. Women fall under the category of people and humans, so it isn't that i don't respect women. It's i don't respect people. I must be shown a reason to repsect them before i do, however this dosen't mean that i will show disrespect if i am not. Many things that are fine in thought, are not in action without reason. I may even like someone before i respect them. Both are two types of feelings of adoration, but in no way shape or form need to be related.

[QUOTE=Tical]If you want to know why I don't think there is a god, it's cuz I can't believe it. It just seems so unreal... so impossible. I mean go read a novel and read the bible and there aint much difference. It just seems so unlikely. And like the whole Egyption god thing. I mean, just cuz you believe something doens't make it true. There could be a god. who knows? Why argue?[/QUOTE] Something even as simple as that is fine, i can respect that. I wasn't pinpointing anyone in this thread specifically, that would contradict my choice not to involve myself. So Cygnas that is in response to your last post, no need to defend yourself against me because i'm not attacking. But i will mention that insinuating that other's beliefs are wrong due to you convincing yourself that your's is right is an ignorant comment. That isn't an insult, because my philosophy is it isn't an insult to call a dead man dead or a fat man fat it is the intent and not the word that creates ill will, so again no need for defense, i have no reason to offend you since you've never wronged me in any way, i too am merely stating my opinion on a particular subject. But regardless, war of opinions can easily get out of hand and people begin to take it personally. It just bugs me when they begin to talk about it, yet they bring it upon themselves.

Oh boy, this is gonna be a large list... I had a bunch of people i hung out with back in HS and we did a ton of stupid crap all the time. I only hang out with about 2 people from that group now but back in the day we: -Collected money from people in a TGI Fridays while eating there by singing outloud and dancing to the songs they put on the radio and singing our version of happy birthday to this girl. The staff was really cool about it until the manager suggested we calm it down a little bit. Was a good crowd too...when you don't get a good crowd you get my next one: -For the same thing in a diner, got kicked out by the manager who threatened to call the cops on us. -On a class trip to one of our teacher's hometowns in upstate NY, me and 3 members of the aforementioned group roomed together and we played a prank on this other guy who is always bugging us. One of us distracted him by asking him to go with them to the store, while we took his bag with his clothes in it, hung it by a small rope and duct tape from the balcony of the motel, took his boxers out and wrapped them in a bunch of duct tape and started throwing it around the parking lot as a football. When he came back he saw his bag and started cursing us out, and we gave him the duct tape wrapped boxers and told him to keep it. He was fuming when he found out what it was, apparently they were pretty messed up and he had to trash em. I'll admit i didn't expect that to happen but it was funny (or i suppose mean from other POVs) nonetheless. -We acted out a movie scene in the middle of a movie theater (Black Hawk Down i believe) and needless to say we got booted for that instantly. -Me and another friend had a soul skittles eating contest, in which we downed a super sized bag each in one gulp (well not a gulp, but a single mouthful)...it was one of the most painful things in our lives, the sugar absolutely killed my teeth. I must have brushed my teeth three times that night and used mouthwash. -I didn't do this one but it's pretty funny nonetheless, there was this pseudo homeless guy in a wheelchair acting like he was paralyzed on a big street near us, to expose him one of my friends ran by and grabbed his cup of money, the dude instantly got up and started running after him. We honestly didn't think he would do it...guess he wasen't too commited to the act. -Me and a group of friends busted this cop-in-a-box (the cops with those little *** golf caddy looking vehicles) chops and while he was giving someone else a ticket we tipped over his little car and dumed a can of black paint on it. The dude was being insolent and abusing his power, no reason to feel bad what so ever. We complained about him once and he got a warning, after the incident i hear he was actually promoted...weird how some of these things work out. Whole bunch of other crap that probably isn't appropriate to post here, but majority of dumb (and in some cases very rewarding) things ive done in my life were done in high school. I haven't done much since i gotten into college, atleast not on the level of some of the crap i did in HS. Funny to think i'm the only one of my friends who hasen't been arrested at one point in time, even if it's just for a moving violation.

I'd post my opinion but i can't help but feel it won't help the fact that this thread has turned into a "whos opinion is stupider then everyone elses" thread. I've usually stayed away from threads like this but it bugs me wheh these threads are created and people still fall into the trap of engaging in debates with strong potential to become arguments that have lost intellegible meaning. I'll just simply say that this was bound to be contraversial from the beggining since the topic is religion based, and it is almost always going to induce the opinions of ignorant people, defensive people, and passionate people. I for one believe in god, am a catholic, and it does bug me when people simply state there is no god without even having as much as a simple theory for their own beliefs, however rather then joining in i'll just suggest that the thread be closed...but that's just my [I]opinion[/I].
