[quote name='Boo'][SIZE=1]I took your wallet. You will die in less than 20 years due to AIDS. Sorry. :([/SIZE][/quote] [SIZE=1]I lol'd.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]I'd never heard about it before this, good to see it's being lifted in any case.[/SIZE]

[quote name='Kenso']Granted, a metal-lined belt is a bit past the lines of discipline if you ask me, but I won't get into that here.[/quote] [SIZE=1]Agreed. As much as I advocate respect for parents (although I'm opposed to physical punishment entirely having experienced it first-hand) if I ever saw my father going to hit either of my siblings with a metal-lined belt I'd floor him without hesitation. That sort of thing goes well beyond the realm of "responsible parenting".[/SIZE]

[quote name='chibi-master']I am talking to my guidance counselor about this, and he's EXTREMELY helpful. As for violence, yes, I do think that is a threat here. With the help of my counselor as well as my best friend, I have established a "safe-house", so to speak, that I will run for should the situation turn dangerous.[/quote] [SIZE=1]Well it's good to hear you've got somewhere you can go if you feel things are going to get out of hand chibi, and that your guidance counselor is there to support you as well.[/SIZE] [quote name='chibi-master']No, no, no! Th doctor kept it secret, but when I wrote the "Don't tell me parents" part, it left an impression on the sheet under it. Have you ever written on a sheet of paper over the page of a text book? The writing imprints on the page you were writing on top of. It's exactly like that. I have somehow kept from telling my dad, but my mom hates my guts now. She's treating my sister like an empress in front of me as if to say, "This is how the glorious STRAIGHT children are treated!" I've been able to convince my mom that I need to type up an assignment for school in order to get on here. I still don't understand why I'm being punished for this...[/quote] [SIZE=1]Ah I see. Well I hope your mother can eventually come to terms with it, I'm sure the way she's treating you and your sister is disheartening but this may be just a poor reaction which won't last too long. Parents usually just want the best for their children and hopefully when she realises that your coming to terms with your own sexuality is a necessary part of pursuing your own happiness then she'll be able to accept it.[/SIZE]

[quote name='Petie'][COLOR=Blue]Because some people take the suggestion/rule to search before you post a new thread very literally. Personally, I think it's refreshing to see people paying attention to the rules, even if they're not paying attention to the date of the last post in the thread ;)[/COLOR][/quote] [SIZE="1"]Maybe, I'd figured they came mostly from external searches like Google and such.[/SIZE]

[quote name='Boo'][SIZE=1]Psh, youngster. :([/SIZE][/quote][SIZE=1] No respect I tell you, no respect. Also why doesn't it occur to people that if a thread is seven years old and hasn't been posted in since then that maybe it's dead ? [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]I believe TVTropes answers the question rather adequately: [quote][I]Lesbians are porn efficient. It's sex with a greater density of women. Porn wise, lesbians are like a jam sandwich without the sandwich and just the jam. [URL="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Metaphorgotten"]In fact, lesbians are just a big blob of jam.[/URL] Well, not actually. [URL="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DiggingYourselfDeeper"]Unless they've exploded in all the lesbonic excitement.[/URL][/I][/quote]Also includes a diagram to further explain the prior concept: [IMG]http://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/20071212.gif[/IMG] [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]I think part of what made this week's chapter particularly bad (aside from teasing us with a Kisame/Hachibi fight of course) was how God damned awful Sakura's "confession" of "love" for Naruto was. I mean sure, the guy would give Goku a run for his money in terms of mental acumen at times but seriously "I've suddenly stopped caring for Sasuke who I've been so in love with for years and love you completely now...Srsly..." I was kinda half hoping he'd give her a pimp-slap accompanied with "***** please". As for Naruto/Hinata I reckon Naruto is still a bit fuzzed in the head since the whole thing came out and hasn't been able to put his thoughts in order yet...That and he knows there's plenty of angry Hyuugas ready to kick his *** if he breaks her heart.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]While I am yet again irritated at the screwing around with relative power levels I must admit there was one particular line which piqued my curiosity for its potential future impact: [/SIZE][center][SIZE=1][IMG]http://zeitgeistglee.250free.com/Mayuri.jpg[/IMG][/SIZE] [/center] [SIZE=1] And his use of the term again 2 pages later. Now, is this merely Mayuri remarking on Ichigo's status as a Vizard ? Or more interestingly could it be Mayuri revealing he knows of Ichigo's parentage and thus his father's true identity ? Perhaps I'm over analysing but it still struck me as I was reading the chapter. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Is there anyone outside your family, a neutral 3rd party that you all might be able to sit down and discuss this with chibi ? Seeing as you mentioned your guidance councillor would you be able to get in contact with him or her and ask for mediation ? If you're scared of some kind of violence from either of your parents regarding this I wouldn't hesitate in trying to get in contact with someone outside your parents. I'm honestly very surprised that your doctor would have such a question down on a sheet and then pass a copy of said sheet to your parents, I'm not sure if doctor-patient confidentiality is as strict over in the States but unless there is a severe risk to the child passing personal information to a parent (especially in written form) is very unusual, especially when there's something as blatant as "do not tell my parents, they would not understand" written in accompaniment. [/SIZE]

[quote name='Shinmaru']But is a win a win if one does not know about it? Also, is there anything the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit do not know?[/quote] [SIZE=1]I'm going to go with yes, simply because trying to explain the logic behind it proved tiresome and contradictory after 10 minutes. As per your second question, I would say no. In creating the entirety of existence he would surely be intimately familiar with each facet of existence.[/SIZE]

[quote name='Shinmaru']Could God create a Game that He could not lose? Discuss.[/quote] [SIZE=1] It depends on whether we consider the three aspects of God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) separate and yet one in the same. Individually the Father may lose the game, but so long as the remainder do not they He is 2/1 up and thus wins by majority... I think. [/SIZE]

[quote name='Sara'][SIZE=1]See, as a female kid (who did not have problems with incontinence), I knew this was not true. And I thought the commercials were awesome ([B]strange blue fluid! Unusually absorbent materials! It was like a science experiment! Or magic![/B]). . . but I could not for the life of me figure out what they were actually for.[/SIZE][/quote] [SIZE=1]I think that was the major culprit in my misunderstanding as well. Granted in hindsight it's infinitely preferable to the real thing but still damn confusing to a male child who has no idea of the function of sanitary pads. [/SIZE]

[quote name='Sara'][SIZE=1]Sure, I shot up a couple schools in my time, but [I]darn it all[/I], I [B]never[/B] did meth."[/SIZE][/quote] [SIZE=1]Just what I was thinking.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]When I was a kid I used to think women had to wear pads because they would continue to wet themselves even as adults.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]I've just discovered the iPhone has whatchamacallit on predictive text, a word I will endeavour to use more often. Also, I lost the game. (Damn you Serina)[/SIZE]

[quote name='Kastom']I don't know exactly why, but your response made me immediately think of [URL="http://xkcd.com/386/"]this xkcd comic[/URL], lol.[/quote] [SIZE=1]Wrong on teh interwebz ? No wai.[/SIZE]

[quote name='Magus'][SIZE=1][COLOR=navy]Hmm... Can't put my finger on it but this sounds real familiar, like I just heard this recently in one of those Bleach movies or in one of those episodes.... That whole snippet about Ichigo's duty... Conversation between Kenpachi and Ichigo? Maybe? Anyway, nothing exciting going on this week.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/quote] [SIZE=1] It sounds vaguely like when Ichigo and co were going to Soul Society the first time with Urahara's gateway. But yeah you're right there's nothing major happening this week. On the plus side Kenpachi finally made his debut in the new filler, I imagine most of the zanpakutou wet themselves when they realised.[/SIZE]

[quote name='SunfallE'][FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode][COLOR=RoyalBlue]Doesn't that translate to another hour of being lazy for you Gavin? =P Our switch back is coming up. I like gaining the hour, but I hate how it means it gets darker much earlier.[/COLOR][/FONT][/quote] [SIZE=1]Nope, as I said I've got used to waking up before my alarm clock so now that's an hour earlier than it used to be. Also yes, it getting dark at 5 pm now is rather sucky. [/SIZE]

[quote name='Magus'][SIZE=1][COLOR=navy]Err... I don't know what's worst. That picture or hearing that the spoilers are saying something something about another confession about Sakura and Naruto... If there's one thing I don't need right now it's definately shippers. And that's just egging them on IMO. (I really hope that's false...)[/COLOR][/SIZE][/quote] [SIZE="1"]Yeah, spoilers this week didn't exactly leave me salivating with excitement for Friday, what with Naruto [spoiler]effectively telling Sakura to get ****ed with her confession of love for him[/spoiler][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]No more daylight savings time means an extra hour in bed. Woohoo for waking up an hour early because I've got used to waking up before my alarm clock![/SIZE]

[quote name='Ace'][FONT=Comic Sans MS][center][IMG]http://i33.tinypic.com/feosxc.png[/IMG] [/center] Ultimate secret revealed. Thread over.[/FONT][/quote] [SIZE=1]Oh God my eyes!! Someone please gouge them out with a spork![/SIZE]

[quote name='Raiyuu']Are you sure you know what the term 'cliffhanger' means? If the cliffhangers were resolved before he switched realms, they wouldn't be cliffhangers.[/quote] [SIZE=1]Yes, yes, fine a mis-wording. His failure to resolve the plots in the real world and moving back to Hueco Mundo was lazy from a story-telling point of view albeit my view is the real world fights were mostly lazy seeing as they served no real value from a story point of view. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Initial impressions of non-beta Windows 7 are rather good.[/SIZE]

[quote name='Ace'][FONT=Comic Sans MS][center][IMG]http://www.nekomagic.com/figure_news/200907/kaiyodo_revoltech_super_galaxy_gurren_lagann02.jpg[/IMG][/center] Mine's bigger. [spoiler]I'm opting to leave Tengen Toppa out of this one, since it's half as tall as the known universe and you need a couple dozen pilots for it.[/spoiler][/FONT][/quote] [SIZE=1]Bah you still need the Gurren or a similar sized Ganmen to power it.[/SIZE] :p
