[FONT="Trebuchet MS"]As the title says, our courts decided it was a bright idea to remove laws that prevented corporations from using their profits to buy political campaign ads. If you haven't heard about this then the details can be found here: [URL="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34822247/ns/politics-supreme_court/"][U]Supreme Court rolls back campaign cash limits[/U][/URL] So what do all of you think about this? Personally I think it's a bad idea and does nothing but open things up for even more special interests to be shoved through the system. Considering our current economic woes, we need that about like we need a hole in our heads. :/[/FONT]

[FONT="Trebuchet MS"][QUOTE=chibi-master]This is the last thread before I go to sleep, I swear.:animestun What changes have you noticed? I'm talking about things like better grammar and spelling in posts, things like that. This thought came from a different thought. For some reason, I was just remembering how much Rach scared the crap out of me when I first joined. Every time I thought 'Rachmaninoff', an image would pop up in my head. It was an image of a large, intimidating bouncer at a bar or something. In a tux. Playing a cello. I swear this is the lack of sleep coming into play here...:animedepr So, yeah. What's changed about you since your noob days?[/QUOTE]Wait, wut? I thought it was Allamorph that scared the heck out of you. :p Anyway, being in the older demographic when I joined to begin with, the biggest change I have seen since I joined is people growing up and having less time to come around the site due to real life commitments. It's always a shame to see them move on, but I kind of figure it's to be expected. [/FONT]

[FONT="Trebuchet MS"]That's fine, I don't mind waiting. Hopefully you get your computer issues resolved soon.[/FONT]

[FONT="Trebuchet MS"]Be happy Gavin, mine ended two weeks ago. :whoops:[/FONT]

[FONT="Trebuchet MS"][QUOTE=chibi-master]*checks around for Rach* ....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................cream soda FTW; Pepsi is nasty................................................................................................................................................................. *flees*[/QUOTE]You are silly. :p It doesn't hurt if the thread is old, I can always take the first recent response and split it into a new thread after all. But I don't really see that as necessary. Anyway, I'm not a huge soda person, but I do like cherry coke or black cherry Fresca. Root beer every now and then is good too. [/FONT]

[FONT="Trebuchet MS"]And here I always thought cough medicine wasn't all that bad. Though that's probably because I've been require to take other stuff that is far worse. [/FONT]

[FONT="Trebuchet MS"]Welcome aboard everyone. Feel free to join in the fun and if you have any questions at all, just let us know. :catgirl:[/FONT]

[FONT="Trebuchet MS"]Why not try the one where you melt it down and put it into molds? If anything it will help you get a feel for what dealing with chocolate is like. You can always learn from that and then take it another step further like Sara is suggesting. [/FONT]

[FONT="Trebuchet MS"]I was just noticing the same thing James, that the actual issue was already resolved. [/FONT]

[FONT="Trebuchet MS"]Hey HopefulOTaKu, I merged your double posts together. For future reference, if you want to add more and your post is the last one, just use the edit button in the lower right hand corner of your post, instead of double posting. Anyway, I can't say I've ever wanted one of those anime backpacks, especially one that runs to the tune of $200. That's way too steep in my opinion. [/FONT]

[FONT="Trebuchet MS"][quote name='Retribution][font=Arial']Why do you download music/movies you believe to be bad? I'm smelling a troll... shame on you, Boo ;)[/font][/quote]I thought everyone knew that Boo is really a troll. [I][SIZE="1"]*shot*[/SIZE][/I][/FONT]

[FONT="Trebuchet MS"][quote name='Pumpkin][SIZE=1']OOOhhh....and James? One thing....get a new skin already!! lol no offense but I feel like this layout has been here for ages! I think if OB was remodeled again...and like REALLY done over...it would bring about a new OB. Just a suggestion...Just a suggestion....Ahem....[/size][/quote]Do you mean besides the Indigo and pink horror known as Caramelldansen? :p[/FONT]

[FONT="Trebuchet MS"][quote name='Boo][font=lucida fax']But you're perfectly right, naturally. It's silly though. Up until a bit more than a year ago, downloading was perfectly legal here in the Netherlands. It still would be, if the government had enough say in it, but the high court put a ban on it because it wasn't in line with the general European opinion on the matter.[/font][/quote]I don't really pay attention to it here since I don't download all that much, but I can't recall a time where it was ever legal here. If it wasn't illegal for you until recently, it would certainly explain why you think little over doing it. Kind of hard to feel bad over something that didn't used to be illegal for you. Anyway, as for the topic, naturally I agree that it's wrong, from the standpoint of it doesn't belong to me so I don't have a right to just take it. But at the same time I can and do get stuff via downloading, even if not very often. I'll watch something and if I like it, I go out and buy it. Provided it's actually available here. Music is another story, I tend to collect hard copies of the music I like unless I simply can't get one. [/FONT]

[FONT="Trebuchet MS"][quote name='Magus][size=1][color=darkred]I gotta find some better ways to go about it because raw onions is too much. Maybe I should try to grill or broil them.. I can handle raw carrots though :).[/size'][/color][/quote]What kind of onions did you try? I've found that red onions tend to be a little sweeter and more agreeable on a hamburger. I don't like white or yellow but red onions are actually fairly good on a hamburger, especially if thinly sliced. [/FONT]

[FONT="Trebuchet MS"]Well so much for getting any type of French food from Wally World. :p [/FONT]

[FONT="Trebuchet MS"]I agree with the others, saying she doesn't wear fur is fine. Using her image in a campaign without her permission, not fine.[/FONT]

[FONT="Trebuchet MS"]Since they're willing to kill civilians, who's to say they wouldn't use a child to hide explosives? By excluding kids from the scan, you'd just be making them a target. =/ It's a sad sick world at times and unfortunately, this kind of thing is necessary. [/FONT]
