Everybody calm down. We should be using this thread to flirt with Kazetoame, not fight amongst one another. What kind of perverts are we if we don't flirt with random women? Trick question! We aren't perverts. Now, get your acts together and show her what kind of perverts we can be!

How I am still able to type is beyond me. The Space Bar keeps sicking, The "N" key stopped working so I had o Rip it off and press the nub, to get an "N" to appear on the screen. I can hardly type with it. And other keys sometime do not want to register me hitting them.
Jesus Christ man. Do you fap onto the keyboard? I've had this keyboard for like six years and I've never had a problem then again it's a typical desktop keyboard and not attached to a laptop

I find this funny. I wonder what that study said about gay men. Of course, the gay men I come across and befriend tend to like poking or grabbing my boobs. I don't get this.I know a gay guy, and he is extremely popular with women, loves feeling on them, and is the best smooth talker I have ever seen. Wasted potential...

It's simple, gay men know what women want. They're on the same wavelength or at least that is my understanding of how gay men tend to attract so many women.

I'm either going all out otaku and moving to Japan (Akiba district) or I'm hauling ass to the UK.Wasn't it people in the UK that said America was going to fail eventually? And now they have the highest living standard in the world... ironic.
@Arizth: If the leader of that empire was to be any of the current presidential candidates, that wold be even more reason to gtfo.
I vote Japan since Akihabara (Akiba) would be an awesome place to live for an otaku. Do I detect megatokyo here? If so Capt., your Largo and I'll take the role of Piro. Feel free to get a rentazilla and rampage though downtown Tokyo.

Beaches, beaches, beaches, it's full of families during the day and drunk people at night and I can't even curse down there....they have signs, signs I tell you, that say no cursing and yet they let the drunks wander and police on horseys shit all over the place. I live about twenty minutes away from the Oceanfront, it's not all that it's cracked up to be. I worked down there for a summer once....BORING and bit scary at night.That's why you become rich and buy an oceanfront property so you can have a private beach. That or become really rich and buy an island. Thus you have a private island AND a private beach.
Then use the leftover money to buy a harem! :D
When you have money they come to you. No need to buy them. Unless we are talking about developing robotic technology to make robots with living tissue so you can make it into your favorite anime character for your harem.

oh and nice use of sinfest, even if it was a bit of a diversion from the topic.Yes there was a few degrees of separation but, it ties in with the thing The_Jesus and I were talking about. That those at the top don't want people who are critical thinkers. They want obedient little works who tolerate shittier jobs, longer hours, less pay. Which leads into the comic I posted.
By lowering the standards those in power can maintain their power. Until a critical thinker comes in throws a hammer at the screen and sets forth revolution (bitches!)

We're losing our position at the top of the world already. We used to be able to boast having the highest living standard in the world, but now the UK has bragging rights. Now our money is worthless over seas, and we're leaning more and more to socialism >_>Time to move.
Where are you moving to? So I can move there as well. The bright side is no matter where I move I'll know someone there.

America will stop be a superpower before the next president finishes his term.
-Our money is quickly becoming worthless because politicians (democrats&republicans) want to spend more than they intake.
-We borrow more money from China and other foreign countries without paying off our current debts which forces our money to depreciate even more.
-As the value of our money falls the prices on everyday goods and services will increase since it'll take more money to pay for anything.
- Our "production" is non-existent so our economy has become based on trading debt between people rather than actually contributing production (unlike china and 20th century America)
-Taxes are being raised (if not directly then indirectly on the people) which as any economist knows taxes choke off growth of an economy when it's growing but, now the economy is contracting and taxes will be raised to pay for the governments growing spending addiction.
-Programs like social security will suck up the all the funds the government intakes which will force politicians to either cut the program (which they won't do because Americans like hand outs) or leave it be and spend money they don't have and rack up even more debt.
I think the question should be "Will America undergo a soviet style collapse in the near future?"

I think every election, all the candidates suck. At least, I think that's what people say every election. I don't quite remember the Clinton elections, because I was more concerned with doing kid stuff since I couldn't vote, but in 2000, people said "Both candidates suck." In 2004, people said "Both candidates suck." In 2008, people are saying "Both candidates suck." Maybe the country's just been doing really shitty the past decade, but I think I see a trend. I wouldn't be surprised if in 1992, people said, "Both candidates suck." People love Clinton now, and rightfully so, but before he was elected, people probably thought he sucked, just like every other presidential candidate I've seen. Maybe Obama will get elected and do some good shit in the next four years, and people will love him to death. Who knows?Hence why I vote third party. Both Republicans and Democrats are piles of shit and it seems like each election we just vote on which pile stinks less.

i'd propably understand what you mean 90% of the cases even if you replaced "You All" with "BLARGHER".Normally, you should be able to understand just from the context. Those who doesn't are just stupid or Grammar Nazis.

You're only focusing on a fraction of the religious population of the world. There are those who would, without a second thought, bomb an abortion clinic, but then there's a greater number of the very people that look upon abortion as immoral from a religious standpoint who will condemn those people as just as, if not more, immoral. Religion doesn't exist to stand in the way of scientific progress and for each religious person who holds themself to a higher standard, there is a non-religious person who does so as well. Science, in this world has become somewhat of a faith. Although there are practical applications and empirical foundations, people have come to lean on science as a crutch when they need answers to shit that really doesn't hold any substantial value in life. In this way, science has hindered the progress of the furtherance of pursuit of what is truly necessary by sidetracking people with an onslaught of bullshit. I'm not saying that science won't ever answer everything, I'm saying science can't answer everything because there are some things that are beyond the practicality and rationale of scientific comprehension.
Religion and science may be polar opposites, but standing between them are spirituality, philosophy, esotericism, and a number of other practices. They're all different, but at the same time they're all interconnected in some fundamental way. A proper understanding of one gives way to the understanding another. Its not as if there isn't evidence to be found supporting something of one field in another. I could clump together certain things I know into certain classifications and although I'll describe things as scientific, philosophical, spiritual, etc., I know that in the end its all just understanding.
As for people who try to impose their beliefs upon others, fuck them. You don't have to believe what others believe, nor do you have to care. So why should you let it bother you at all. Just tell them to go suck a dick, shove it up there ass, or whatever and then walk away.
It may be the fact I've been up a while but, even rereading this I feel as if the bridge between the various ideas that make up your conclusion as missing to me. Maybe there is a kilobyte of information missing on my end. honestly, this is making about as much sense to me as trying to explain the holonomic brain theory to a six year old.
To me science is as the "scientific Method" put it. Sure, you can follow those steps with anything but, you can't experiment with spirituality.
When I think science I think, gravity, relativity, physics, biology, chemistry. When you branch out you get mathematics, economics, geography,etc. While some consider philosophy as a science I can't understand that logic since I see it as a precursor to science.
While I do joke to friends that I worship science it's hardly a religion. Like I pointed out already the very nature of the two prevent them from merging. Religion takes things of faith just because it's faith. Science can not do that and remain a science. If you theorize something in a religion as part of your faith then people will generally accept it as is. While in the scientific community they will expect experiments and evidence to back up your claim.
Religion was used to explain things that our ancestors couldn't explain. Why did the sun rise every day and various other questions. Now that science is answering these questions the people who cling to religion fight it because their leaders tell them to. This is the reason I believe the religious as delusional due to dismissal of facts and reason while they hold onto the idea that something they can't even prove existed in the first place created the world. Their arguments on their side are only a childish game of "you can't prove it doesn't exist" similar to trying to tell a child that their imaginary friend fluffaluffacus doesn't exist.
Part of their fight is based on their system of "morality" which is another argument in of itself. Stem cell research can cure millions. Yet Christians fight the research and even try to ban it because "it's immoral". Just because it's immoral to them doesn't mean that the rest of us can't receive a benefit from the research. Instead of restricting themselves to their doctrine they restrict the rest of the world because their doctrine says so. Hell, you never see a Hindu organizing a protest outside McDonalds or blowing up a processing plant because "it's immoral".
You are correct that everything is just the understanding of the world around us. Religion was the way of our ancestors. It's time to take the step forward and embrace science and the answers it gives. It's like the Matrix some people just aren't ready to be unplugged from their artificial world.
As for the people who push their religion on others. It's hard to just "walk away" when they use their sheer numbers to change the way my country works. Try to change my constitution, make laws based on their beliefs and forcing people like me who aren't a part of their group to kneel down to their beliefs. Employers can refuse to hire you based on your religion (of lack of one) I know it's "illegal" but, it's up to you to prove it (which you can't). If I put up a satanic symbol in my yard I can guarantee that I would receive a notice or some sort (probably eviction) because of pressure from the local Christians not wanting "my kind" around here. As long as the religious (zealots and non zealots) use their standing to make me kneel to a god I don't believe in then I'll continue to hate them.
Edit: If I come across as arguing for the sake of arguing. It's not my intention to. I just enjoy debating you since you come across as one of the few people who can understand my logic even if we are on opposite sides.

they're actually lowering the passing grades on the standardized testing.When I was in high school, they changed the grade scale. An F used to be below 70, so 69-0. Then they changed it, and a D became 65-69, and an F was 64-0. It didn't concern me because I never made bad grades, but it did show me that the school was expecting less of the students, which disappointed me.
The thing is, I'm guessing the change wasn't made because of complaining parents or teachers. I assume that the wonderful "No Child Left Behind" was the main reason. The school had to make sure students passed or lose their money. Thinking about it like that, I'm glad the change was made. That crappy school needed all the money it could get.
No child left behind was a huge mistake. If anything the bar should have been raised.

If I remember correctly there was an unreleased version of mario that was as difficult as this. The didn't release it here because we American gamers hate things that are difficult. Makes me wonder which is more difficult this or the unreleased version.
