Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Yeah, well here goes nothing.

It's a full grown tulip.

The yellow petals that flow in a never-ending spiral towards the root of the stem.

It's a cycle.

Spring, Summer, Fall, then Winter.

Always going in a circle.

It never goes back, and it never skips.

It's always going forward.

Why?

Because everything was predestined to be like that.

But words and their meanings...it's so varied.

A single word can be used in so many different ways.

It's never the same...

it's never different...

It's just...misjudged

This poem really moved me, I hope it goes to inspire others too

This.

Apply this to everything. The label fanboy is being abused, dismissing even the smallest opinions. Not that any of this matters anyways

My problem with suicide is the selfishness, you gotta take into consideration the peoples lives you affect everyday, and that killing yourself really doesn't help anyone out. If it did, then I suppose maybe it is a good idea

I don't think it's the music that pisses people off, just everything that comes with it. And god is it AWFUL

Yes. You don't kill a man's son, that's the worst thing you could ever do unless the man didn't want his son in the first place. You read parenting books that tell you how beautiful it is, but when it finally happens and your wife/girlfriend gives birth, it's much more beautiful than any words can describe, just like the bond between father and son.

On other hand, stupid Americans commenting that they shouldn't interfere even though the article talks of a BRITISH bomber are stupid.

I think youre trolling but this is something to think about regardless

So in England recently Fat woman punched Mcdonalds employee in the face because he got her order wrong.

As soon as my dad thought it was okay to swear in front of me he started to go all out when he had road rage and I was in the car. It's pretty funny but it actually gets annoying occasionally

These were some pretty interesting points. I think age limits are purely for statistics. raising the smoking age decreases the rate of smokers, drinking age decreases drunk driving deaths, even though these are still common occurrences, stats have proven that these age limits reduce such things.

Movies just bothers me though. I'm 18 now but there's nothing I've seen in a movie that I wouldn't be fine with when I'm 15. I think it's just to avoid outcry from parents after they found out their boy saw a "penis" in a movie and is traumatized forever

Hehe in a world where 90% of America's conflicts are in desert countries you'll be fine!

UMMM HELLO! WII INTERNET IS FREE!

Sounds pretty existentialist. Trying to rationalize the irrational. Basically you didn't want to school so you spent the whole day convincing yourself it was a good idea with a few examples, then you posted it on newgrounds hoping people would confirm your opinion and thereby defeating the inner guilt that you know you SHOULD finish school.

It's not just a matter of jobs, for the rest of your life people will judge you based off your education, a topic that almost always comes up. Unless you're fucking rich as hell people won't be impressed. So there's this to consider, even if you don't care what people think it could come to harm you down the road

I'm not actually leaving, that was just part of the review I was writing I like to be dramatic

Hey NG friends, I've been surfing these boards for a while and now I'm ready to post my own newgrounds review! You guys can either comment on my review or write your own

First of all, for those of you reading these reviews, keep in mind that most of the positive comments come from affluent white Users whose parents obviously pay for their education and expenses.

I will start with the positive. I was a Newgrounds flash major and honestly the program was ABSOLUTELY amazing. I had to opportunity to do so many things that I would never have imagined. There are also thousands extra-curricular opportunities that allow you to better your craft. Excellent program, hands down.

But now for the bad...

As an African American female from a very diverse town and with limited, collborating within this website was veerrry difficult. The flash site is comprised mainly of wealthy white males who come from art high sites with plenty of resources and flash opportunites. My high school could barely keep flash computers because they were always stolen (you get the picture). Seeing eye-to-eye with this people was extremely challenging. Most of the projects this "blessed" kids wanted to produce dealt with either suicide, drugs, or ZOMBIES. The themes that I wanted to cover like inner city life, love, and happiness were never fully comprehended because so few of the users came from a background remotely similar to mine. This factor also resulted in a lot of racial tension within the program. users and even admins make jokes and comments about African Americans and other minorities that are blantantly racist yet they have no idea hopw offensive they are being.

My two years there let me so discouraged and afraid to speak up in class. Not only was a certain that my ideas would not be fully understood but because these kids were EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE. While I understand, as many of the previous commentors have stated, that Newgrounds is the REAL WORLD, it is still a Website and we are all still USERS. If that weren't the case, wouldn't we all be working professionals with high paying jobs? The users in the flash program are often very snotty, pretentious, and obnoxious. They ruin movie plots regularly and refuse to acknowledge any flash that has not won an Academy Award. These users made me HATE flash most of the time because of their attitudes. I admit that I could have taken more initiative, but for a minority and female student, that initiative gets tiring after a while...

In addition, some of the classes are a bit....out there. It really seems like some of the admins hot boxed their computers when they typed up the bans. For example, a flash called Writing the Essay is like a psychedelic trip into the world of incohesive paragraphs. admins actually encourage users to counter the points they make within the essay (?). I was also surprised by how easy a lot of the classes were. admins were very lenient with due dates, structure, and tardiness.

NOW FOR THE SOCIAL LIFE!

wait...what social life? Newgrounds is a perfect social setting for the rich and over 21 crowd who can afford to go out every weekend with a fake ID and buy drinks. Collective parties at Newgrounds are very rare. Usually when a student association hosts a party, very few go because they fear it will be boring. Many of the dorm parties consist of people sitting around talking about how much life sucks rather than having a good time.

The minority social setting, in my opinion, is very cliquey and divided. My first year, I did not have many black friends but when I tried to reach out and attend more black student association meetings, the users spent more time being judgemental and figuring out why I wasn't around last year than getting to know me. Because there are so few of us, the social events outside of site grow boring a tiring after a while because you see the same faces. From my experience, the girls were very catty and the boys were often arrogant and rude. Again, maybe I should have taken more iniative, but it should never be a struggle to make friends.

In addition, the campus, while gorgeous and interesting, makes for a HORRIBLE way of meeting people. There's no quad, no student union, and because the campus stretches all over Manhattan, you never can tell who is ot is not a student. And it doesn't help that the users are generally unfriendly people. While it is true that partying and friends should not fully determine the status of a university, we must take into consideration that this is not just a site but a home for most of us, a place where we will be investing months of our time and THOUSANDS OF OUT DOLLARS (60,000 to be exact). All elements should not be perfect but at least manageable and I did not find myself able to deal with all of the negative elements despite its wonderful education.

The last topic I would like to discuss would be the faculty and financial department. While I did not experience many problems with the admins -- in fact most of them were amazing -- the newgrounds gold team, academic advisors, dorm leaders, and even the president are very condensing and unhelpful. The admin department gives no notice of upcoming due dates of major deposits (i.e. the $1000 nonrefundable housing DEPOSIT)and are very uncompromising to users with very grave financial ned, like myself. New Grounds failed to give me my first user award letter until a month before I started newgrounds because they needed verification that my father was never present throughout my upbringing. I had 4 famly friends send detailed letters to the institution explaining my situation and each time the university claimed it was not good enough.

Getting loans is also a hassle. I am an independent student who is not able to pay for loans monthly and needed advice on which loans to apply for to avoid financial instability. The university refused to offer me any sort of assistance even after countless emails and phone calls. The admin office has even ignored request from my grandmother, who is my legal guardian, for additional user assistance after who Social Security check was cut short.

Newgrounds is a perfect place if you are wealthy and and do not care about a site's social life. Excellent for arts but TERRIBLE for users, which is one of the main reasons why I am leaving. If you are ready to take on New York and be overtly outgoing, by all means apply but if you're not quite sure you want to give up having a normal college experience, you may want to reconsider.

I go for As in the regular classes, Bs or Cs in the AP classes of doom

Nah, don't smoke weed for that reason, it's stupid to do any substance for that reason.

Unless you want to get with "catholic" girls who don't put out and constantly shove their religion down your throat. Most girls who are going to get with you are probably weed smokers

What's to discuss? That a couple kids were killed for being gay? I mean, that's tragic and horrifying and everything, but I don't know what exact event you're referencing. Are you talking about Matthew Shepard? The year of when this took place matters, I need details.

Ever heard of google? I guess we're all learning who the REAL fags are today huh!
