That arse mold isn't going to make itself.

As you get older, supplementary work in your own time will become more important in your education, especially if you want to become the next Bill Gates (...bad choice for a role model when condemning posters as 'nerds'?)

Your parents priorities don't tie in directly with yours; they want you to do well, as you are predicting yourself A's and B's you can't be all that far off what they expect, but they may not be taking into account what you really want. Lots of kids with too much parental burn out, I hope you're not one of them, or that they realise earlier what is really important.

I listen to everything from Anthony and the Johnsons to Slayer - Hayley has a lovely voice (that holds up live), the songs are catchy enough, and they seem to enjoy what they do (which is all you can ask of a band; to love their music). You don't have anything to be ashamed of, but why did this become such an issue for you?

You needed to teach him a lesson through the noble art of arm wrestling? If the initial 'victory' wasn't enough for you, then I don't know what you hoped to achieve through a second round where you gave him license to do whatever he wished (which he did?). You seem a little confused as to what you wanted to come from this.

It's not as if they could tell from Mr Hawkings accent...

A different spin for the series, one objection I have from the footage they've shown; you can still hit enemies. Your character hits a Brute and his armour disintegrates, as if there really is no difference between a ton+ Spartan and a run of the mill human. It killed off the tension and sense of heightened realism that they seem to be aiming for, despite being a fairly small...oversight?

I've got a HESH skullcandy (from what I can tell, a step down in price from the Skullcrushers) and am very happy with them. Comfortable, good quality -I'm not expert, but I've listened to a lot of music through just about every type of earphone created-. Volume can't go as ear-blowingly loud as in-ear, if that's a concern.

If you've got the cash, and you want to spend it on these, you could do a lot worse.

We're Irish. You figure out if I've ever seen my family drunk.

My mum is hilarious however.

Waaaaait...how can you be old enough to remember Johnny and still be watching the channel...?

Unless...you're a new-wave fan...my god...

I'm a waiter, so I KNOW...buuuut...I had a 40 minute try and handing out free things to people in the street to try and promote us; seriously. You don't know treated badly until you'd done this;

'Hello sir, have you ever eaten at...uh...nope...I didn't rape your entire family with a blender as that look apparently implies...have a nice day'

I don't make eye contact with people on the street anymore.

You have a moral obligation to share this information with any younger siblings or neighbours. Hell, the postman too if you're feeling frisky.

Let's imagine the conversations that would take place, if Newgrounds had 1/100th the members, all of whom submitted flash;

User 1; Hey, nice submission, not really the techniques I would use though, you get kinda choppy in the middle sections, and the backgrounds were a joke, if you have a look at my...
User 2; Uh...thanks...I guess...I'm just starting so...
User1; Oh man, THAT one got front page...so yeah, basically, gut the piece, have a look at my sprite series, maybe check the stick figure stuff I did, maybe learn something...
User 2; Uh...I'm just here to have some fun and see what people think...
User1; ...fun? FUN?! Dude...wtf...hey #3, this guy wants to have fun...
User3; ....are you serious...? Man, this is a very serious site only for people who make the most serious of flashes. Leave. Now
User 2; Haha, pwnt. So anyway, I'm working on a new thing...
User3; I don't really care. Leave me alone.

You're suggesting an elitist approach to Newgrounds...which just don't work in my eyes. One of the things I enjoy, as a viewer only, is seeing a submission with real potential and being able to voice my opinion in the hope of genuinally helping an artist out; you said it yourself, you don't need to be a flash maker to know what's good, what works, or how to give advice.

There's something about needing to be on my knees to...'worship'...something, that just doesn't quite work for me...

And one tragically close to France. We apologise for this.

Now, for the love of Christ, can we PLEASE end these stupid conspiracy theories on the BBS?

Now, when you say 'conspiracy', you actually mean 'cold, hard, truth'...right?

But damn if their technique practice hasn't paid off =D...or...uh...so I've heard...

Notice how 'Labour' implies the working and middle classes; oh...what's that, more money being spent on private health care and super casinos, while the NHS and education as a whole sinks? Oh dear...

So far, Brown's had an uneventful time; his trip to America, having vowed not to fall into the 'poodle' trap of Blair, was ambiguous. Before stepping up, he seemed very Pro-EU, vowing to strengthen those links, before turning round and moving straight to working on the special relationship with America (in fairness, he has made personal visits to a number of European leaders).

The verdict will surely be out on him, until we get some idea of what policies he's keeping...and which ones he's changing, particularly in regards to our dealings with America.

I was the innocent party in the horrible...uh...accident...that left them without rib cages.

What you've got to understand is that, unless you've collected the information first hand, anything you read or see will be, intentionally or not, biased. Everyone interprets events a different way.

If you're lucky to find a source that is at least trying to be as pure factual as possible, the bias will be minimum and ultimately harmless. If it's intentionally biased, you're screwed.

A further problem is how the hell do you tell the difference? In extreme cases, common sense will prevail, but there's a reason that political parties have people hired purely to put spin on topics; they spend all day taking facts, then shaping them into something that will put their party in the best possible light. And they're very, very good at it.

On a side note, we broke up for summer yesterday. Seems an odd time to be going back. Have fun with that. Learn to spell.

Thank God someone finally got in with this. For whatever reason, our brains just seem geared to be more interested in the darker side of every story; it does make you appreciate more when you do stumble across a genuinally good story. Can't appreciate the good without the bad and all that jazz.

[i]I consider Adolf Hitler more of a blundering fool than a terrible monster.[/i]

Far from blundering; opportunistic and ruthless.
He didn't start a war in the name of killing jews; his initial advance was into the demilitarised Rhineland, testing the waters; had the British or French shown the slightest discomfort in the form of an army, it would have nipped it in the bud.

WW2 was caused as much by Hitler's intentions, namely the restore Germany to it's former glory, and to 'purify' the Arian race; I'll take this moment to point out that Jewish people were not the first on his list; anyone deemed to have a disability or a disorder of any sort were dealt with as coldly and efficently as the Jews.
WW2 was caused as much by his intentions and actions, as by our fear and inability to act; Britain sought to give in to Hitler's demands in the hope that he had set goals in mind and once achieved, would be satisifed. (This is speculation) but he had no master plan. Czechsolovakia had outer areas that once belonged to Germany; he initially took these, then thought 'fuck it', I'm having the whole thing.
As was previously, and correctly, posted, his decision to attack the Russians was his downfall; a frighteningly swift advance through Russia, halted by the even more frightening Russian winter. That's right; WW2 stopped by Russia being so damn cold? Seems like it (speculation/joke)

Oh, and Hitler drew inspiration from Mussolini, who tore apart the League of Nations (set up after the first world war), by exposing the Allies inability to stand up to true, raw aggression. Apologies for the long post, but the ignorance in this thread, with a few exceptions, is remarkable.

Rather than politicians, decisions on drugs should be made by doctors, who actually know more about the health risks.

Waaaaait....are you implying that politicians aren't fully up to date and aware of the topics they talk about and make crucial decisions over....?! And that often they're the LAST people who should be making these decisions...? I don't believe you!!

Personally, I'm waiting on Gord's epic home-webcam editions...Cameron won't know what hit him.
