Well, it was intended to be an "IN B4 LOCK" post, as, I was assuming the thread would be locked, not have the picture removed. Sort of like, if it was locked, nobody would ever know I failed at getting it in. And if it wasn't locked and I got that in before they locked, well. That just made more sense.

Not long enough.

I get replies to my news posts because I'm a regular, but other people don't. It's not fair that other people don't get their stories read just because they don't post a lot.

Ergo, lit portal is good.

Exactly. Or at least a Literature forum, or something. Somewhere that it's acceptable to post your stories or ask questions about this stuff. Anything's better than nothing. There used to be an old writing club, but your stuff would get drowned out among everything else.

Actually, it's called "Interfering with a police investigation"

In diffrent, more polite words. I told him to go fuck him self, and that i wanted his badge number and name written down for me, He refused to give me his name but wrote down his badge number for me, then mumbled into his radio somthing like, 10 29. and the street name, I didnt hear exactly what it was, but it anoyed me,

It's never a good gesture to be rude to the police. Trust me, my neighbor is a cop. When he's on duty, you don't mess with him. They have to put up with constant bullshit every day, and often times they're in danger. It's a cliche to say they put their life on the line, but they really do. Help them as much as possible, don't be a jackass if you get pulled over. They're not being rude, and their job is to be suspicious - Chances are that suspicion could save their life or the life of someone else.

After asking a 3rd time to search me, I connected just to get him the fuck away from me, he felt my junk, and patted my legs down, and sent me on my way after finding nothing.

Or, you could have just agreed to it the first time and achieved the same result.

The fucking police in this area can pull any one over if they have a reason, If i dont give them one, then they can make one up, After making one up, they threten to arrest you for charges that do not exsist just so they can carry out the search, the search is the primary reason they pull people over, and use DUI as a " valid " reason in court if they do find stuff,

In all actuality, they don't need a reason to pull you over. If you don't want to let them search your car, they can give you a reason. If you have nothing to hide, you won't mind them going through your car. Sure, it's a little awkward, but it doesn't hurt anything. Refusing to allow them to search you could cause further suspicion and that's never a good thing.

I now hate all public service workers, police, court workers, and any one involved in this corrupt little scheam they have going,

What do they gain from it? They use tax dollars to keep you in jail if you are arrested, they use tax dollars to pay the police to keep the people safe. It's not like the government slips police officers money for "Keepin' da brotha off da streets," they don't gain anything more for pulling you over and can loose a lot if they pull the wrong person over. Just suck it up.

Any one think my explanation is valid. or am i just full of it?

fuck i already know the majority are going to say somthing like SUCK IT UP THERE DOING THERE JOB.

Bingo, because guess what. They're just doing their jobs.

To read a story people will have to know what they can find, no one will randomly look into a news post to do that

Which is exactly the reason I'd love to see a literature portal. I've got a story running on my news posts and aside from one or two people who check back frequently to see it, nobody knows about it. It used to be at least tolerable to post stories in the BBS, now it's some unspoken taboo. Lit portal would be beast.

Stopped reading there. Atheists can't think outside the box? You're spoon fed religion from the time you're born. It's even in our pledge, not that I support removing it, but it's there. It's on our coinage and money, it's everywhere. If anything, Atheists break free of the box.

90% of the arguments I'm involved in are hard core debates about whether or not somebody should get the death penalty, they involve a lot of shouting and I'm normally the one going "That mother fucker killed 3 kids, then drove 16 miles and robbed a gas station, fry his ass!" so, my opinion on things like that rarely change. My opinions rarely change in arguments anyway, it's not that I'm too ignorant to see the other way, I generally build my own conclusion starting from a neutral stand. I just generally feel that my opinions are worth sticking to.

Some things I'll waver on from time to time. It was my opinion once that joining the military would be cool. I talked to a bunch of military guys who hated it, every second of training, but thought it would get better. I don't think it's cool anymore, but I still want to do it, to serve and not just to say "Oh yeah, I killed 13 dudes," which is a terrible thing, I can't imagine doing it in any other circumstances than they're trying to kill me.

I've noticed that the more logical the argument, the more people will consider the other side. Once shouting gets involved it all just devolves into each person feeling naturally threatened and taking the natural position, defense. You might notice a flaw in logic on your part from time to time, but damn it, they'll never know because they can't win. As soon as they pause for breath, you jump on the offensive and batter their argument, it goes back and forth.

The latter, louder, argument is how most holidays end up over here, everybody debating something.

I love all of these, it just doesn't make sense. If atheists are so horrible, then why do they seem to have better virtues than the Christians attacking them. It's not like us atheists gather around and go "Lets bring about the downfall of religion," at least I don't. But all of their arguments seem to go the same way.

"You think something different than me? You're wrong. Not only are you wrong, you're so wrong you're going to hell. Now change your mind so you don't go to hell or we'll change your mind for you. I mean, what do you mean you don't believe in something I believe in? Here in this book you don't worship it says that not worshiping it is a sin. Sins are bad."

<3 religious logic.

I don't get it. Also,

Well, I already plan to enlist, so I'd guess I'd man up and enlist before I get drafted. Brilliant logic, really. But I doubt they would reinstate the draft. Chances are we'd just send the Marines in straight off then have the Army come in and take the credit like they did during the last Korean war.

Funny story about that, a communist commander back then gave the following order to his troops: "Do not attack the First Marine Division. Leave the yellowlegs alone. Strike the American Army. "

The following week, the Marines were issued new fatigues to replace their khaki leggings so the enemy would have a harder time differentiating the two forces.

Hey guys, these dudes over here are having a discussion. What should we do!? Clearly, they've not been informed of the new rule.

Gen Y/Millenials (1980-1995) - (My generation) marked by indulgence and pampering. The "everyone gets a trophy!" generation. We have grown up with MTV and were the first generation to generally accept the internet into common use.

My generation as well, and I'm not going to lie, I lead a pretty nice life. But growing up I never had anything handed to me, even back when I was little my parents made me work. I didn't get an allowance like the other kids in my class did, I just did it because I was asked to. I was always real skinny and didn't fit in with my class mates because while they were off talking about pokemanz and whatnot, I was reading or doing something else to make better use of my time. I was never deprived of technology, I had a gameboy and we had a computer (Didn't get the computer until I was 10 though) My parents never sugar coated things for me, I grew up with a realistic view of the world, that life isn't fair.

My dad was laid off when I was 14, almost 15. That summer I worked for my neighbor's landscaping company to help pay for groceries and such, when school started up again I joined the football team to get out a bit of anger, most kids on the team just joined so they could say "I was on the varsity football team last year," and get the slutty girls, I joined to play. When I turned 16, I got a job at Walgreens which paid better.

Now I'm looking at joining the military, not because I think it's a quick way to get money for college or it's the easy way out of life, but because I actually want to serve. A friend of mine is joining at the same time, he's opting for a 4 year term while I'm considering career.

That's a long way of saying Generation X can be something different, we're not all pampered.

Is that a legit question? Because if so that's the most backwards logic I've ever heard.

"I'm not a fur fag, but I find human porn disgusting and would rather jerk it to an animal touching themselves in drawing form than an actual, factual human female going at it on video."

The fuck kind of shit is that? Nasty.

Also, that's rhetorical.

You should stick to being the silent type of Atheist, because nothing good can come of you discussing religion.

The key word in my whole discussion being if, I'm not saying it's like that, I can't think of one person I know who thinks it's like that. I'm just saying,if it were, that would be pretty badass. Like to the max badass.

I was arguing with some friends over religion. I hold the normal atheist views, while they're bashing atheism with Christianity and such. It just always seems so wrong to me that one religion goes "No, we know we're right because this book says so," while the others goes "No, you can't be right, because this book says we're right," stupid little things like that have caused wars. Well, not entirely, but wars have been raged because people refuse to accept the beliefs a different religion because they know they're right.

So that got me to thinking. What if everybody's right? What if Christian God is up there playing pool with Loki and Zeus? Or Thor is knocking back a few tankards with Poseidon? Having Shiva juggle the Native American turtle god, while Vishnu and Juno look on.

I think that would be straight beast.

TL;DR - Every religion is right, cool or not cool? Discuss.

I'd like my kid to be a little militant bastard, always going about ordering around and taking orders from inanimate objects around the house. Like the neighbors come over and he's standing in the kitchen at attention while the toaster oven is giving a short speech. Or he's yelling at his army men to get into formation. He's also a perfect ladies man, even at the age of 7. He's got all the girls in his 2nd grade class.

Yeah.

The problem with banner ads is that they can carry viruses. I used to get kicked out of Newgrounds and deviantArt by Google Chrome because one of the ad servers I was connecting to via the banner ads was to a site known to spread trojans and crap. Which is why I even use adBlock to begin with.

Personally, I don't like the replacement images and find them extremely insulting. It's a great way to get me to NEVER buy anything from the NG store. ^^; I realize it's supposed to be tongue-and-cheek, but I think some of the ads go to far, like the "Go fuck yourself and die in a fire" ad. The puppet wife ad makes no sense and is harmless, and I find the "don't be a dick" one kind of funny.

But yeah.. I don't need a website telling me to fuck myself and die. Blockity block.

Furthermore I kind of got tired of being bombarded with porn and "find a sex partner" advertisements. Do not want and all that. :(

This^ this is how I feel about the ads. Sure, they're nothing major, but I've had them flag with viruses and such. Also, the ads containing "FREE HENTAI" and "Find hots girls near you!" do get kind of annoying after a while.

Also, the girls aren't even hot.
