Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I love it because most people hate it.

It weeds out a large majority of people and puts you in a social group with a select few who truly understand what's going on. We're having fun and seeing just how far we can push our musical limits while the rest of society whines like babies and mass-produces the same pointless, marketing-based bullshit year after year...

Besides, metal is always way ahead of it's time. 20 years ago Twisted Sister was 'the devils music'. Now days, it's played on Top 40 stations and politicians use it for their campaign trail. In 20 years, you'll finally understand how good death metal is... but metal heads will have already moved on to something more advanced, something the mass-populace still doesn't understand.

In short: Metal is all about having fun. Fuck what everybody thinks... if it puts a smile on your face, fucking do it. if that means playing super-humanly fast and growling like a dying pig about face rape, then so be it.

It doesn't have to be... we just make it a bad thing because that's all we hear about... bad voices saying bad things. But why?

Why don't voices every say anything good? Like... "Go ask that girl out, she really digs you" or "Volunteer at a retirment home".

Why's it always "Kill"?

What if the voices do say other things... but when we hear them we just intreprit them as 'our own thoughts'? What if our thoughts arn't thoughts, but voices saying really boring shit? That means I lack the ability to think... I'm just under the impression that I can. But in all reality, I'm being told what to do by a voice with no physical charactristics that only I can hear.

Why do people only hear voices that tell them to do bad things?

You never wake up to see a news report where Bill Gates says, "I don't know shit about computers, but the voices in my head told me to make windows so I did".

The strange thing about Buddhism is that it's not so much a way of life, as it is a way of changing your perception of the things around you. You mannerisms in life will change as an effect to your new understanding of the world.

In simplist form, you just have to come to the realization that the idea of 'self' is a lie, everything is only temporary, and the source of all your suffering in life comes from the needless desires and attachments you've formed to material things that won't last forever.... this includes your own body.

I don't think Eminem is any good anymore. He pretty much adminting to giving it all up in "saying goodby to hollywood" and everything since has seemed like he's purposly trying to tank his own career. that last album of his was garbage... just utter trash, he wasn't even trying anymore.

This new "I'm rich and in the club" Eminem sucks and I'd think we'd all be happier if he just gave up his music career and concentrated on his label and producing.

Stop being a pussy.

I hate to be so cold but your problems aren't shit compared to some of the things a lot of people have to deal with on a daily basis.

Oh wow, your girlfriend broke up with you. Somewhere, somebody has never owned a pair of tennis shoes. They live on what they consider a street in a village made out of garbage. They haven't had anything more then a few peices of rice in a week and at any second a rebel army could roll over the hills and procedure to kill and rape everyone in it. Those that aren't killed are kidnapped, taken from their families, and forced into sex slavery or worse... the army itself where they are forced at gunpoint to kill and rape the next village over, or die themselfs.

Some of them, the lucky ones, are worked literrally to the bone in diamond mines where they die a slow painful death so some NFL player can have shiny ears.

Almost everybody has AIDS, there is no medicine, education, or help on the way... and everybody else in the world either hates you because you're black, or just don't pay enough fucking attention to notice the hell you exist in.

These people are lucky to find love at all, and when they get it they usually lose it not to an ex... but to murder. There is no "Happly Ever After" for either one of them...

Those people would get sick at the idea of you living the life you live, and then bitching about how much it sucks. If you put your problems in persepective with the problems of everybody else, you'll see that you're just being a whinny bitch.

once again, sorry to be mean... I don't want to make you feel worse but sometimes, the truth hurts.

It was one of the first games I downloaded... I got sick like 2 days after getting my 360 and that's how I passed the time.

I no longer own it... my original 360 got stolen and so far I've yet to find a way to be able to re-download what I've previously bought. I'm assuming, like iTunes, it isn't allowed.

It's a motion-based minigame... you move the pen in circles to ball up your pack of cigaretes and then you fling the pen across the screen to toss the balled up cigs into a nearby trash-can.

The smaller the trashcan and the further away it is, the more points you get. When you get enough points, Philip Morris sends you a free gift.

Expansion packs and other mini-games can be downloaded but they can only be redeemed with Marlboro points.

Even though you consider me 'too old' have you checked into anything Silverchair has done lately? Diorama is one of my favorite CDs and it seems to be the type of stuff you enjoy. I promise, it doesn't sound anything like the days of Frogstomp.

It turns out the "Nirvana Wannabes" are actually really fucking talented.

Let me see if I got this right:

Computer game from the 90s featuring a guy in either red or blue who shoots bullets at things that occasionally shoot back. Also, there are platform jumps and ladders.

Man, I hope you can remember more, that sounds like every video game ever made between the years 1983 and 1994. Is it Contra? MegaMan? :)

I write as if everything I say is fact and can't be proven wrong or disagreed with. I don't want to sound like a dick, I just want to express my point and I don't know how else to do so. For me it's either, "I'm right, fuck you", or nothing.

For a while I tried to care, but then I realized that I really didn't... I don't mind it if people think I'm a prick. In fact, I prefer it that way.

Nothing.

I find the best thing to do when you don't know what to do is to do nothing at all.

My husband may beat me... but the sex is frequent and amazing.

I consider the once a year beating as a fair exchange for a year long cycle of endless pleasure. Besides, the beating isn't even that bad... I don't even have to pay for my doctor bills. It's more like a black eye and less like an actual beating.

No big deal... nothing some mascara can't fix.

Why would I clean my trash can... it's full of trash. Even a clean trash can is still the dirtiest thing I have in my house. That's the whole point of it... you fill it full of garbage. How can that ever be 'clean'?

It's not like I dump out full cups of soda into it... it's a big plastic bin full of empty cups and wraped up food. If it does get to the point where I think the can itself is dirtier then the stuff going in it, I'll just buy a new one. It would be cheaper to buy one trash can once a year then it would be to buy a box of bags every two weeks.

Plus, the can itself can be recycyled so it produces no trash even after being thrown away. Trash bags could be recycled, but they're not, because they're full of stuff that can't be recycled. So they just sit in the landfill... being stupid and pointless. Trash full of trash surrounded by trash that the trash full of trash came in.

Also, why does everyone keep saying I don't take out my own trash? Do you guys think I'm able to live a trash free life? or what, I'm a billionair with a butler? No, I do it myself... I just don't use bags. Instead, I just pick up the entire can and carry it to my dumpster. How else would I do it? Taking a bag out and putting a new bag in is actually more work... I'm saving the environment and being lazy.

Buy a second trash can. Either that, or dump the one you own more often.

Prevents loose litter from getting everywhere.

There are more efficiant ways to take care of the trash. We use black dumpsters that the trash men dump with a big mechanical arm attached to the side of the truck. My trash men are so damn lazy they don't even get out of the truck. If your can is too close to someones car, it just doesn't get dumped.

Me, I'm a big fan of the "One big dumpster down the street" type of deal. One trash man who only has to empty one bin... with no bag. This bin has sliding doors that keeps trash in the bin and not all over the street, plus it's a good place to hide from mobsters and provides shelter to the homeless.

This method requires less work from the trash men, takes up less space on the street, and makes the area nicer by having one area of trash every so many feet as opposed to overflowing trash bins in front of every door.

As far as carrying your trash to the bin goes... both are as equally shitty. Nobody bitches about the weight... it's the trip. It's always too cold or too hot out and nobody wants to make the walk. I've never heard anyone complaing about taking out the trash based on the idea that they had so much trash to carry in one trip it was too heavy... and if it was placed inside of a one pound plastic bin, they wouldn't be able to lift it.

At 3/4/09 07:48 AM, Tribalfusion-X wrote: Yes, but what do you use a trash can for? The same purpose as a trash bag. Therefore they are equally useful. I vote that none has to go.

Trash bags take up more room in the landfill, thus they're less efficiant. You need more of them more often... plus, they tear and rip a lot and it's not uncommon for the bottom to fall out of them with over stuffed. Plus, they come in a box which is also trash... buying trash shiped in trash in order to take care of your trash is just stupid. We should stop it now... maybe the energy and fossil fuels we save from cancelling the production of such monstrocities will solve our global warming problem and we can all go back to driving hummers.

Yup.

As if it doesn't already... it's full of trash. How can the inside of the trashcan be any worse then the trash that's currently in it? Open ketchup getting old is open ketchup getting old regardless of wether its on the side of a plasic can or an old McDonalds wraper.

I also frequently use trash bags for other things like doing laundry.

Why don't you just buy a fabric bag made for just such a reason instead? It woul be cheaper to buy one nice bag once, then it would be to buy 30 trashbags every month.

You have to do that because mankind has a serious trash problem because people like you think it's a good idea to buy a peice of trash filled with other peices of trash to put trash in to keep the container you have to put trash in clean even though it's full of trash.

If we'd cut back on stupid shit like this, there would be room in the landfill for actual trash and you wouldn't have to pre-sort your garbage.

This too, is already in the works

The ideal format, a flexible display that could be rolled or folded like a newspaper, is still years away, says E Ink. But it foresees color displays with moving images and interactive clickable advertising in only a few more years, according to Sriram Peruvemba, vice president for marketing for E Ink.

E Ink expects that within the next few years it will be able to create technology that allows users to write on the screen and view videos. At a recent demonstration at E Ink's headquarters here, the company showed prototypes of flexible displays that could create rudimentary colors and animated images. "By 2010, we will have a production version of a display that offers newspaperlike color," Peruvemba said.

Why even buy them? All you do is put trash in them... but you already have something to put trash in, it's called a trash-can.

Worse yet, you fill the bag with trash and then throw it away... it's esentially trash itself. Why spend hard earned money on pre-packaged trash?

Besides that, trash is already a problem in society... there's too much of it. So why package trash inside a box that's going to go in the trash and sell it as a bag to put your trash in?

It's like a pocket protector protector... completly fucking pointless and if you use one, you're a fucking idiot.

Sad thing is... these ARE the type of people that will have children. Shallow, simple minded fools with a pretty face or a trendy sense in fashion always mate...

It's the intelligent few who actually have something to offer society who get passed up by the strong-armed jock...

Because of this, the good genes never get passed on, and the only new human beings formed are those created by assholes who watch the Entertainment network leaving us stuck in a shit ass world full of shallow cunts who care only about the designer of their purse and a fantasy football score.

Somewhere, evolution fucked up... I blame the women. :)

Not shit. I found that once you exit public school, nobody cares about Black History Month.

I'm slowly starting to think that it was created by a 4th grade social studies teacher as an exucse to have somebody else generate their lesson plan for a month.

Seriously... why seperate the blacks by race in history class? For equal rights? Blah, a tad bit hypocritical is it not? It's like saying Black People arn't good enough to be taught side by side with the white man so we segregated them into their own month...

get to the back of the bus blackie... and don't come back until February!

The clock by my bed is an hour fast.
I have another clock on the other side of my room that is set to the current time.

the alarm by my bed starts going off at 8 (which is really 7). I'll hit the snooze button until I either decide to get up, or my other alarm goes off. The second alarm is like my 'last warning'... it goes off at 8:15 which means I'm about to be late if I don't get up right the fuck now.

Most days, I just keep rolling over and hitting snooze without even giving it a second thought. Sometimes I even crawl out of bed, hit snooze on the second alarm, and get back in bed.

needless to say, I'm not a morning person and I'm often late for work.

I use to care but I gave up... it's not my fault, it's societies fault for creating the idea of 'being late'. I sleep till my body says get up. That's how nature and God intended... fuck you if you feel otherwise.

Already in progress of happening.

Stores and Bars have been using them for checkouts and tabs for years.

More and more gas stations and fast food restaurants are going to touch screen computers to allow customers to custom order their food.

Iphones use them, cell phones use them, hand held game systems use them...

They're in use on GPS systems and in Car computers.

Really, the only place touch screens aren't common are on personal computers. But really, touch screen monitors are available... once the price of manufacturing them drops, I'm sure you'll see them more and more.

At that point, it's just a matter of making the chips that run them smaller and faster better wireless communication so you can access your data from anywhere in the world. But the hard part is over... the internet already exists so we all know it's possible. It's just a matter of getting it everywhere so it's always accessiable.

But look at cell phones... it already is.

Seriously guys, this isn't that crazy or hard to imagine.

I got bad news for you Joabos... you already depend 100% on 'this kind' of technology.

Seems reasonable to me.... looks like nothing but huge iPod touch screens but without the big plastic casing around it.

The applications the screen used where advanced but nothing insainly crazy. We have physics games like that dog and ball program the school children where playing with here on Newgrounds written in Flash.

Virtual internet based white-boards aren't anything new. There's already been news stories and discussions about the virtual newspaper, and everythign else is just figuring out how to stream large videos seamlessly... wich we can already sort of do, but not to the point where it would be worth the cost to place in a school or average business. Give it 10 yeas though, it'll happen.

There's nothing 'new' here... just the same old ideas but in better quality.

The same could be said about any game....

RPGs excell in places other games fail. Where as Gears of War has a shit story and requires you to do little more then rack up Head-Shots, Final Fantasy requires zero skill and emmersses you in a wonderful in-depth story full of character development and plot twists.

Also, humans ore obsessive about collecting things... like gear, orbs, powerups, character levels... RPGs fill this strange desire. Gotta Catch 'em All type of mentaillity.

Basically: Diffrent things for diffrent people.

On a personal note, I love playing the occassional RPG because of it's lack of skill... every once in a while it's nice to know that in this game... you don't have to do anything but sit back and enjoy the ride.

Don't legalize it... just decriminalize it.

It shouldn't be anything more then a fine for having marijuana on your person... but it shouldn't be legal either. If marijuana is legalized, tobacco companies will mass produce it, fill it with chemicals, coat it in posions, give us less pot that makes us less high for a shorter amount of time, and charge us 3 times the amount. The price will slowly go up over the years... to the point where we all look back and say, "Remember when a quad was only $40?"

That would suck. I like pot prices now and I enjoy buying it on the streets. It keeps it real.. the prices stay low and the quality stays high. I just don't want to go to jail or have my house raided over it...

Decriminalize it and make it little more then a fine. Caught with pot? $30.00 fine, go about your business. Sounds good to me!

I don't know shit about geography but isn't that where the warlords just roll into villages and kill and rape everyone? They kidnap the young boys and force them into the army where they in-turn have to visit their neighbors and kill and murder them as well.

Those that aren't forced into the army are forced to become slaves in a diamond mine where they're worked litterally to the bone, and then killed when they don't produce enough. Then these dimonds are collected, shiped to America, and some rap star and sports athlete puts them in his teeth in order to represent his struggle for the respect of his 'African brothers'.

I think that's the place anyway...

We don't need a white history month... but we don't need a black one either.

We should just learn about people who did things in history and complely ignore the color of their skin. Seperating history based on skin color only further teaches our youth that skin color does indeed matter.

If we want everyone to be equal then everybody should be treated equally. That means no special months dedicated to any race... you should learn about Harriet Tubman the same week you learn about slavery... regardless of what month it is.
