The rules are fast and quick. they vary from site to site. Certainly, if you want to make a site that allows for racist homophobic porn, that's your prerogative. Just as you have the freedom to make your own rules for the space you would occupy on the internet, the same holds true here. Go post some porn on a church website and see how long you last. Go post some snippets of Malcolm X speeches on Stormfront, see how long you last. The freedom you have is the freedom you create, not the freedom you feel you deserve to be given.

What model are you using? There should be no problems using a third party accessory like that.

Oh, the meaning is fully intended when used as an insult.

When you call someone a faggot, you are attempting to demean them by emasculating them. In most adolescent males, the ego is beginning to define its sexuality. Even in today's 'liberal' age, homosexuality is less than a desireable trait because of its perceived lack of masculinity. To cast aspersions on one's sexuality, to suggest that they are somehow less of a man because of it, is a common theme throughout cultures and history.

Yes. If you want to make a flash that is all about faggots being faggy fags in fagland, go for it. Portal != Forums.

Valz, as far as I'm aware, you are not required to verify your age unless you attempt to view the adult sections of the site. We set an age of 13, because we do ask for an email address upon sign up. As a website, we can only ask for that information from someone 13 or older.

From the site:

"You must be at least 18 years or older to enter this site. If you are under the age of 18 or offended by adult views, language, or nudity please exit this website immediately. Otherwise Click here to join!"

Considering we allow users as young as 13 to post, we must abide by COPPA. If this was an 18 or older site, I'm sure the rules would be a lot more lax.

Lock'd.

What part of 'REMINDER' is escaping you? The rules haven't changed, go see for yourself.

Seriously, next time, instead of Wade being nice and giving all the new kids a heads up, we'll just start banning. :)

Newgrounds is about music, movies and games. Tom was cool enough to add a forum so that all the people that really like the site can gather and chat about stuff, since we all have a common interest; Newgrounds.

I'd like to think that those three simple things can attract people from all walks of life. To allow language that has a very malicious connotation to it on the public forums means that we run the risk of souring the experience for a large portion of the audience.

You clearly haven't thought that all the way through. Prepay without prepaying? HURRRRRRRRRR

Have you considered a bicycle or the bus? I ride the bus everywhere, it saves a ton of money. Dunno if that's feasible for you or not.

While this is true, we do ask that people at least try to use real words and ease off the txt language. It really doesn't take that much time off typing, unless you're posting with an SMS device, in which case, I lol@u. ;)

That's how you get negative whistle points.

Unhelpful != Abusive.

Marking reviews unhelpful doesn't really do anything as far as whistle stats go. The only time I've ever marked something unhelpful is if someone posts a crappy walkthrough for a game.

Saturdays yes, Sundays and holidays no, IIRC.

2. If I was to put money in an ATM tonight, would it be in my account by tomorrow?

If it's an ATM affiliated with your bank, you should be able to access at least part of it straightaway, depending on your bank.

What is ironic here is that Children's Services in general was started as an offshoot to the ASPCA, which is the American version of RSPCA. So the dude got totally owned by the RSPCA in a really roundabout way.

And i told her to tell her parents and to set one up.
She said she's taken five of those at home pregnancy tests, and they have all come back negative.

I'm just wondering if the taking of the birth control after the fact could have caused a miscarriage...

It may have. She should see her doctor for follow up care. The doctor is bound by doctor-patient privilege, so she doesn't need to fear being ratted out.

In future, even if the girl is on 82762375 kinds of birth control, you should wear a condom. Pregnancy isn't the only thing prevented by them.

Best of luck to you guys.

If she's on the pill, it should be inducing a period, so something sounds amiss.

Get a few home pregnancy tests if she doesn't want to go to the doctor just yet. Sometimes they give a false result. The BEST thing to do though, would be to see the doctor ASAP. If she IS pregnant and taking birth control, that's something she would need to know right away.

If it was on the Front Page, the Front Page Archive should help.

You can't link webarchive stuff here, something about the formatting.

I don't know how to break it to you champ, but a penis is not like a hot dog. I know, I know. I was shocked to find this out as well.

before i was messin with my dad's Gf'S vibratior and stuck it up. strangly it hurt slightly but at the same time i didn't notice I got an erection. effect?

You just poked your prostate gland. The erection is pretty normal in that instance. Be careful doing that sort of stuff though, you can do damage to yourself that can't be fixed or give yourself infections. Ruptured/torn colon + poop = not good.

Also, that is nasty, don't use other people's toys. You don't know where all it's been or if it gets cleaned properly.

I guess its because I grew up mostly with the internet - my parents never really spent time to raise me, never really enforced me. I have fun, I understand simple stuff, just some things I can't really laugh at, which includes most of the things my family does.

You know, I've always kind of felt bad for you because of that. Interaction with parents is something we don't appreciate until we get older, but it always seemed like you didn't have parents that cared. You're a good kid from what I can tell, but man I'd like to smack your parents sometimes for not being real parents. I mean that with all the love in the world.
