This was relating to her jokes abour britney right after her infamous performance. I'm not the one with a vendetta against her.

Ah I'm behind on celebrity news. I actuallly just thought you fancied her is all. You know? She floats your boat? Rubs you right? Is your cup of tea? Tickles your pickle? Warms your bones? And whatever other figure of speach there is...

It's like an mp3 file slowly losing its data quality and the songs start to sound crappy... this is obviously a personal issue but the metaphor fits.

The emo-ish bitchy identity is not befitting of anyone. I'm particularly bold and quick to react when there's something that presses the wrong buttons so if and when my kid went all apeshit emo on me I'd have to do something rash. Don't ask me what since I dinnae have chillins yet. Here's a possible list of considerations though:

a: take him to a strip club

b: take him hunting

c: drop his ass in the middle of a forest with nothing but a swiss army knife and a survival book so he can bitch at mother nature and not at me

d: smack him one right in the kisser

*shrug* s' what my dad would have done... and I turned out fine! :D :D :D ... >.>'

If you thought Ahmadinejad was treated disrespectfully here wait until Bush visits Iran... oh wait that will never happen. Gee I wonder why... maybe he's too humble to accept such a warm welcome?

It would be more of a cycle of pulses then wouldn't it? IT's kind of like an astronomically-large heartbeat pulsing from big bang to big crunch over many billions of years.

eh, he may as well learn something useful while in school...like how to kill a man with his bare hands.

That can come off as either really tough or really gay :s "kill" is the operating word here.

That article's from January. Didn't Iran reportedly meet the U.N.'s demands to cool it with the nuke programme... figuratively speaking?

I'd say 5: none of the above and play them all for fools.

Either mess with them all and risk losing your job but have the smug satisfaction that you were a pimp or mess with none of them and act professional and uninterested so as to not compromise your job. If you want to go for one girl in particular such as "the best friend who is cuter" it will be extremely difficult. Hell, it will be extremely difficult to land ANY girl wherever your ex hangs around so it's best to get one which she'd never meet and one who is mature enough to put the past behind her.

Banning an M-rated game for purchase by minors under 17 is the same as the law for rated-R movies. By that same token, there are ways to circumvent that law as I did when I went to a couple rated-R movies as a kid or saw some at a friend's house :s

What's the rating on AO games? 18 and over? I find it kind of funny that the only thing which separates people from suggestive or mild/softcore sexual situations and FULL ON HARDCORE UNINHIBITED UNCENSORED SECKZ is only 1 year...

Lol I was actually being critical for once when I asked that. If we're talking about slightly overweight, glandular, husky people, there's nothing wrong with that. Some people are naturally of that body type and it's very difficult to change it.

When it comes to the morbidly obese though... I think the ridicule shold act as an action inciter to cause them to do something about their declining health. Oh and by "doing something" I don't mean eating! >:\

Sounds like something personal...

You're not necessarily racist if you're against afirmative action, chill out man. However, you can't say a black person who is less qualified than you will get a job before you because of affirmative action. That's not affirmative action's goal and you're damned straight you have a right to complain and take action if that happens. Now if the guy were just as qualified as you and he were hired, then yes I could definitely see how it would get annoying real fast. But still, he was just as qualified as you so... it was a 50/50 chance either of you would get the job anyway. Of course then it could be said the employer went with him anyway in order not to seem racist, but hey that's the reason for affirmative action, because people still make decisions based on prejudice. One such issue is with college admissions as you pointed out.

Still though, I agree that Affirmative Action shouldn't be as bold and as obvious as it is and should be removed eventually. If minorities start to complain on the removal then it shows they had a dependence on the system. However, if they don't complain, and employers begin once again to hire mostly white males for the most-desirable jobs, then the minorities will have a right to complain and your whole view on affirmative action would have been flawed and brought about prematurely. That is to say, if that happened because you thought affirmative action was a thing of the past, clearly you were wrong. There's no real way to tell though until it's tried.

Anyway back to the 'N' word. It's a double-edged sword if you ask me and if it's going to be used freely by blacks then it should be used by everyone. And if it won't be used by everyone and exclusively by blacks, then it probably shouldn't be used at all because sooner or later someone will have a slip of the tongue like the Kramer character. Just out of curiosity can I say wetback in here? Or is that permissible because I'm Mexican?

I agree with illwillpress's christmas animation with all the censorship of religion and such, yet I'm still doomed as a human being what gives?

Are we talking husky or Homer Simpson kind of fat here? Or are we talking about gargantuan, sick Jabba The Hutt kind of "I can't move or breathe right" fat?

It doesn't make sense to anyone other than Blacks apparently. They think they are the only people in the US to be allowed to be racist because their ancestors happened to be slaves over 150 years ago.

I love how you speak out for the entire black population of the United States, great job.

It just shows how political correctness regarding racism has actually turned into reverse racism and complete and utter hypocrisy.

There's a jab in there towards afirmitive action. The way the system is built to work is, the "underpriveledged" get consideration but wihout excluding other groups unless that is the original intent of the system. If an employer intended to reach out to african-americans and a white guy applied, the white guy would be turned down because the intent of the program is to employ African-Americans. However, the white employee could file a grievance at a later time if the employer is exclusively employing African-Americans and constantly excluding others. Abuse of anything is intolerable and abuse of Affirmative Action is no different.

So anyway before I go on a tangent, I do agree the Affirmative Action system is slanted towards the "underpriveledged" or the "minority" but it does that on the basis that it is trying to counter-balance the imbalances of the past which had high and exclusive favoritism of the priveleged and the majority. It's like if you fucked up real bad and it would be expected of you to give an apology, yet you never gave one or tried to make ammends for it. But just how much counter-balancing and equalizing is necessary is a whole other can of worms. To draw a solid line on such an issue would definitely be a challenge, but I think society should be moving progressively towards an age of actual balance, no favoritism at all towards certain groups and the gradual phasing-out of affirmative action.

Could anyone bother to explain what exactly encyclopedia dramatica is?

I got BROADBAND this kicks ass!!!

The sad reality is racial profiling does exist. It does seem unfair that minorities get so much help with affirmitive action but it also seems unfair that they miss out on opportunities without it simply because they were born in a country where they are a minority. Affirmitive action is an attempt to try and present a counterpoint to racial profiling. Obviously it's going to upset people, but then again, so does racial profiling. It's a stalemate in that sense and it will probably remain that way for a while longer.

Shouldn't this belong somewhere in the official Bush thread?

There are girls who can kick a comparable guy's ass any day of the week. I don't see why anyone should be getting any special treatment for that. If women and men are so equal then men should not be ridiculed with the "you got beat by a girl" condescending comment or "how could you hit a girl?!" condescending comment. Either way it seems like the male gender loses when it comes to this.

Personally society can suck a sack in regards to this. I will hit anyone I please if I'm given good enough reason and if they beat me down with good enough reason then so be it. It makes no difference if it's male or female, after all we are human and have the same rights. And don't give me that "men are stronger than women" B.S. As I said earlier, there are plenty of girls who can put a comporable male on his ass.

Conversely, this is what I would consider real plus size:

I agree mojo. There's a tendency to jump on the popular bandwagon. Back in 94' it was Democrat, then it was Republican, now it's back to Democrat again apparently. It's like the whole nation is just focused on black and white and ignoring all the other shades of grey in between. Not to mention all the colors surrounding.

Or it could have been stopped when Germany started to manufacture weaponry again.

Wouldn't there have been a possibility of global outcry if that happened as with Iraq? Of course the thing was prior to the Iraq invasion of Kuwait or the U.S. invasion of Iraq in the present, people did not know what was going on. People believed Iraq had WMD's. So would people back then (during Germany's rise to power) have believed Germany to be an immediate threat as the people of today thought Iraq was? Sorry if my question sounds a bit confusing, I'm having trouble properly-phrasing it myself.

Another thing to consider is the technology available during that time. People did not have a plethora of information readily and immediately available to them as they do now with instant messaging, email, web pages, etc... so perhaps there would not have been such a high chance of global outcry because it would have been a while before people found out on their newspapers.
