doesn't always work that way Phoenix. although I will say that the US market is close to a fair market, meaning the companies can change prices at will and basically "bid" for the customers attention and for them to buy, it also means that a market who lowers the quality of the product can drastically lower prices and gain more customers, while forcing other companies to remain where they are or lower their prices, and then find themselves losing money and losing jobs and etc.

Such is the price of 'free' market

I think she sings well and...you can't not like that song after seeing 2 guys do a duet (one playing piano the other lying atop the piano) in the middle of drama class.


the other one is

which I should probably have my man card taken away for both, but I will say this: they both can sing and sing well. If they were incapable of singing well, the only reason i would like them is for their attractiveness.

I enjoy discourse. Who would like to start with me? Find me on IRC when I'm on and we'll have an awesome discussion. I know alot of information about many, many different things and I've thought about each one intensely (for about 1 minute to several years depending on the topics). Now I'm only 21, but I'm a rather smart lad with a tendency to ramble, talk too much and goof off. But I can offer you something more, something the others can't. An intelligent discourse involving any matter you desire. Certain discussion information may be difficult for me as I'm not well versed in the more advanced topics, (ie speculative physics) but I can definitely look it up, and give my thoughts on it for reasonable discourse with another intelligent individual(s).

the way other people look at is if one family is in a war, and they are pre-occupied fighting one family, then another family has easy pickings. It's pretty much if you can afford to attack then do so cause there's no one who will stop you because everyone doesn't care tongue

After that I'm pretty much spamming up our fam chat as much as i can while calling half the bankers idiots big_smile

why can't we all just be sterile and then we use our sperm to inseminate the female so that way they WANT to be pregnant and the whole issue dies?

I think the main problem here is that everyone has an opinion and everyone wants their say in said opinion. That is, in the US. Now, people with like minded thoughts gather and agree and they band together and force their opinion on the rest of the country because they can. Why not? Radicals are like that. Conservatives are like that. It's the people who are lukewarm in the debates that don't want to enforce their opinions but rather, merely suggest them.

I am a pro-life person, however, I'm also pro-choice. For me it's all dependent on situation. I sway either way. I'm a person that's like that, as it's all dependent on what I feel like that day and what's been going on around me. It's nice being a fickle individual.

That said, abortion is tricky because the questions we ALL should ask are, when you abort a fetus, does the fetus feel? Does it react? Does it move? Living things feel. A plant feels when it is cut, a tree feels when it creates fruit, a dog feels when it is hit by it's master or set on fire, or burned with acid (which those people should have the same done to them). Understandably, there are arguments, but then the question you should ask is, if you're arguing for the right to abort a fetus...would you abort your own fetus? say you found yourself with child on 7 different occasions...would you abort them? would you let someone stick something into your vagina and kill something?

another approach would be, what would you rather choose? an apple or starfruit? an apple is sweet, while a starfruit is sour. They are both healthy.


Awhile ago I mentioned something in the forums here, and it was satirical, but it held value. People who abort fetuses should be forced, by the government, to hold on the that fetus and to care for it for 3 months. Just like they would were it born. Mind you, I'm talking about the people who are 18 and younger who have sex and abort to avoid screwing themselves over. They should feed it, nurture it, HOLD it, and feel the child that will never breathe because of a decision they made that they can never go back and undo. It's a decision they will have to live with the rest of their lives. If the mother doesn't care then they don't deserve to have children and should be made sterile or have their tubes tied. Cause if they had children, they'd be an abomination to society. If the mother cared, then they'd be bawling like a little girl cause of the stupidity they just went through.

Remember, their choice, their action, their fault. The reason may lie with the parents or the community or the culture or the friends or family or even boyfriend, but the end result is always the choice of the girl who went to do the abortion.

You lie if you say illegal torrents are ok for you.




so if illegal torrents are ok for me, am I lying? Wouldn't I have to have some guilt in there?



and yeah, lies are basically falsehoods misrepresenting the truth in order to gain some kind of advantage you didn't have at first.

Torqez...YOU SUCK!!!



but I still love you tongue

I would like to apply for fmod status. All I really do is just patrol the forums these days anyways. You can ask my family, I have almost 0 activity. Although if I were an fmod, I'd be able to bring that activity up just a little bit.



known name: Listos

Experience: Oh, I want to say 5 or 6 years

Activity: My activity is based on either work, school or if I feel like getting on. However, I usually just check the forums every day and post where in topics i think interest me. Otherwise I just read them over.

reason you want to be fmod: because I feel that although the fmods are doing an excellent job, they have a tough, tricky job that many overlook and few congratulate them on. Something that I can relate to and thus, I would like to go in as well and will be happy to do so. Plus it gives me a little power over people who flame/spam/etc

what major change will you make: Good question. I'm sure that if I were to make a change at all, it would involve endless debate, then come down to whether or not it can be implemented by Adoross or Stefan, then if so, does it have to be tested out and is it feasible that people will not abuse it...

But if I do make some major changes, I would find a way to have the Vice Leader tag limited to 3 or 5 people depending on family size. Having your whole family listed as vice leader is bothersome and stupid. If you have only 3 people listed then you know if you're an enemy, who to talk to if the leader is not present. It should work well I imagine.

Find a way to get the leaders the ability to moderate their family forums, which I think has been mentioned and debated before, but I think it would be nice to that leaders and VL's be able to do that.

Find a way for fmod's to moderate family forums. Having only 4 or 5 people moderate family forums isn't good business sense. I think it would be easier for people and decrease hostility if fmod's were able to do so as well. Or at least give Skyro mod status. He's always on. ALWAYS ON. He'd have no problem in dealing with the situation.

but I understand that the likelyhood of MOST of this occuring is slim to none and probably the whole reason Parrot did this was to prove a point, but at least it's something smile

you know, I actually suggested this awhile ago.

If you want to look at it in a legal way, according to the 2nd amendment, we are allowed to bear arms. There is another amendment (22nd?) allowing us to raise a militia in the occurrence of an enemy force (or force we do not consider allowed) entering our country, or invading us. Illegal immigrants from Mexico can be seen as invading and thus, allows us to declare war on mexico for invading us.
