Big Tobacco and Big Oil are yesterdays news.

Only for the conservative right-wing crowd and the few exceptions to that.
Right now you've got the baby-boomers taking seat in places of political power, these are people whose crux of their life began as Video Games began to take form.

The only thing that video games have gotten media wise is publicity for violence and shit - so the uneducated bunches around the Political Spectrum tend to overreact.

Fortunately, as we have more liberal-minded people in their 20s-30s now, begin to enter the political stage. We'll soon begin to see more forward thinking and open minded people hold sway over things like that.

Food for thought.

I've used tap water to make Kool Aid for years and I've never had this problem

...but living on bottled water is just so prudish. Yes, it looks cleaner and I always see interviewees carrying them, but how would you respond if you were at a friend's house and saw their basement filled with Poland Springs.

It depends on who bottles it. Dasani tastes like crap.

In my experience, the quality of tap water depends heavily on where you live.

I used to live at the base of the Blue Ridge mountains in North Georiga/South Tennessee by the Tennessee River.
The tap water that came out of the faucet was damn near flawless - it didn't have a significant taste to it and was very clean.

I've recently, however; moved to Central Florida - and to summarize my thoughts. The tap water here taste like liquid assholes being pumped through my pipes. The sheer amount of Fluoride and Sulfur is insane. It tastes so god damn bad.

Personally, Me and the Mrs shelled out $100~ for one of those Water Coolers you see in office buildings - and we have 5-gallon water bottles delivered to our apartment. Best choice we've made, having good water is important for cooking or anything that involves water hitting your tongue.

For those of you looking for the freshest water that doesn't come from the North/South Pole - Well water is the cleanest shit you'll find. When you go into the mountains, in very rural areas. A lot of people up there don't have city plumbing, they have wells that pump water out of their back yard.

The water that those things pumps is clean as can be.

TL;DR Tap water sucks depending on where you live, fresh water is nice.

That what Ralph Nader thinks video game creators are.

Comments like this just fall into the kind of crap NPR, Rush Limbaug or Glenn Beck would spew out.
Either they make these stupid comments that garner the interest of viewers or they're genuinely that stupid.
Either way, they're not worth the amount of attention they get.

I know Nader is an independent, but he's still retarded.

Why can't people enjoy music for what it is and stop this needless notion of validating their opinions by bashing another genre of music they don't appreciate.

I like Dubstep, it's by no means insightful or anything - but boy does it get me pumped.

I enjoy really any kind of Whiskey or Rum - I've really gotten a fondness for Moonshine. That stuff will knock you on your ass.

Moonshine isn't smooth at all though, it's by no means a real pleasure to drink.

I CAN SEE YOUR NAMES TO THE LEFT UGHH

To be honest, if you've never dealt with a programming language before - it's gonna be a doozy to learn, but by no means impossible.

If you're looking to learn C# - then you may wanna look into picking up Visual Basic as a starter language, since they're both .NET languages, you'll be able to pick up a lot by meandering in Visual Basic until you get a grip, then moving into C#.

Once you get a firm grip on any Object-Oriented language, it's pretty simple to pick up everything else. It's all the same shit with different Syntaxes.

Nothing crammed into a 150x150 icon will be considered creepy.
Make it large and in charge, then we'll talk.

This was just a reason to post your nips, huh?

When people post on a forum, that clearly shows user names, but they still type their username at the end of every fucking post like a pretentious signature - like we can't read their name 60-250 pixels to the left.

It frustrates the fuck out of me, but it really shouldn't.

Chime your rage in.

I am a Georgia native, from the foot of Blue Ridge Mountains on the Northern Border.

Fall and Spring are absolutely beautiful times of the year to be in the region. When it comes to the people..eh it goes both ways.

I believe every 1st world culture has it's equal mix of stupid and intelligent people, mostly stupid though.

The biggest fault I can say for the people is anyone who moves from the North to the South, be ready for Jesus.
Bible Thumpers, especially in more rural areas of the south are hardcore fanatics.

Other than that, the climate of Georgia is wonderful! I'm a Florida resident now, only thing you have is Warm, HOT, VERY HOT, Pleasant for the seasons here.

If 2000 years worth of people couldn't, yours won't.

They'll most likely end up working a dead end job with two delinquent children and a spouse who consistently cheats on them.

I used to have this misanthropic notion about the world that we're all just decaying waste laying on the side of the Cosmic Sidewalk waiting for our inevitable destruction. Then again, I was also enjoying a big House M.D. kick when it was rolling Season 4 and watching a lot of Carl Sagan's Cosmos. So, one could say I was impressionable.

If you don't like the world so much, kill yourself.
If that's not an option, suck it up, join the Military or something. Then at least your bitterness will get you money.

When you find a special someone, bond with them, and open up to them. Your perspective about everything changes.,

I just hate the fact that Isps are a bunch of lying scum. I expected SUPER fast internet the 200 mbps downloads, but instead i get roughly only 40% of those speeds.

80$ for only 40% of the maximum speeds? I expect a 60% discount ffs..

To be quite honest - In my cynical nature of dealing with consumers as a past Wal-Mart employee. I can almost rest assure that this is somehow a technical error, if not just that, a technical error on your end.

I'll be nice though..

Are you connected to a Router? If so, what bandwidth does it support? Is your Firmware up to date?

You mentioned that you're downloading shit from Piratebay, which is all Peer-to-Peer based.

What does that mean? It means your download speeds are only going to be as fast as who is willing to share the files, this isn't a server handing you information. This is people with computers, like yours, sharing bits of information right from the computer they're working on.

Now tell me, if you're sharing a file with someone who has a 10mbps connection, and you have a 40mbps connection, guess how fast the file is gonna transfer? 10mpbs.

Infact, you need to reassess your connection, are there any weaker links in the chain? Sure, you might have 200mbps internet, however if you're feeding it through a connection that only supports 54mbps (Wi-Fi Signal B) or 150mbps (Wi-Fi Single-Band N) then guess what you're gonna get?

If none of that works, call your ISP. There might be a technical problem resulting in a slowdown that can be fixed over the phone, or they'll send out a technician to work on it.

Fuck you guys, I'm too alternative for this bunch.

If you hate dubstep, you've only heard Skrillex ad nauseum.

There are plenty of good dubstep artist and groups. Flux Pavilion being my personal favorite.

Well, if you're doing let's, you're talking to you and a person with you, and if you use let us, then you're asking a person to let you guys get out of there.

Saying Let us eat.

Or "Let us *verb*" is commonly accepted by the general population and I'm fairly certain that it's grammatically correct.

Thank you. Is the drug test pretty much immediate, or is their a bit of a time period you have to take it?

No, for me. Right after the interview, this woman offered me a job..and she sent me to Human Resources (which was a desk right behind me) and they made me fill out various paper work.

One of those papers was this slip, to take to a local Walk-In clinic. Also, you have to take the drug test within 24 hours of getting that slip. or else they won't hire you.

But yeah, getting a drug test is immediate once they know they're gonna hire you.

Story though, I applied to Wal-Mart..got called 2 days later. Then they had me interviewed four days later..and viola.

The interview was intimidating as fuck, because, for me at least, I had three people interviewing me for the first interview, then a one-on-one with the main honcho manager.

..You're an idiot.
The 24 hour clock system is more commonly used around the world than the 12 hour clock system.

Question, if anyone has been in this situation, what was the usual wait time for results? It's been 4 days so far.

Well then, yeah. I haven't EVER smoked weed. Infact in the 2 years prior to the drug test..that Nyquil was about the worst of it.

So, I got a job at Wal-Mart, and I'm wondering..will Nyquil fuck up my test results? If so..how much?
Anyone have experience with getting a job then being questioned for false positives and stuff?
