I'm terrified of the darkness, especially when it is behind me. I will turn the lights on even when everyone is in bed and sprint up the stairs just to get to bed. Then while I lie in bed trying to get to sleep, the darkness seems to swim around me. Then it rushes at me =]
Free speech is something that seems to very important to many people. People use it to speak their opinions on any topic without fear of reprisal. But many people also forget that it is a two way street. For example, when I added my current signature there were several people who were offended and asked that I remove it. What happened to free speech then? They forget, however, that they have just removed their own right of protection. You can't run for the cover of a law that you have just torn down using your all-encompassing "right to not be offended". Another example would be many organised religions. There are those that say that anyone who does not believe in their particular strain of monotheism is going to burn in hell. People could quite easily find this offensive, but they have a right to say it because of free speech. However, as soon as one person tries to criticise back at them, the monotheists run to hide behind hate speech legislation. How can this be seen as fair? It is a two way street. You wish to have your right to free speech respected then you respect the right of free speech of others. It does not matter if you find it offensive. Who are you to decide what is offensive and what is not? What makes you so special? There is not one being in the world that can decide what is offensive and what is not. But it our laws seem to require such a being to decide this for each and every one of us. But I say no such being exists or will ever exist. Now I know many people will turn up and yell "HYPOCRITE!" and you would be partly right. In the past I have asked for certain groups to be silenced for the common good of society. But a certain video has changed my mind. Christopher Hitchens was speaking on changes proposed/made to hate speech legislation in Canada. His speech was eloquent, concise and funny. It has also removed what ignorance I had on the concept of free speech. Now I know that if I want to continue to criticise religious belief I have to allow counter-criticism to happen (which I have allowed, and counter at every turn ;D). I just thought I would share this will all of you in an attempt to teach you all something on free speech =] The video that I mentioned earlier can be found here.
I've been single for over a year =D
I meant physical xD LOL What a typo to make.
I've played it while drunk =] And my two friends were also drunk. They shared the headset thing and were talking random drunken crap to American players. The other players weren't too amused ;D
Very similar to the crash in the Hudson river, except this one hit a house :x Luckily, it was a smaller airliner and it only hit one house. It could quite easily have crashed and skidded through the neighbourhood killing hundreds. The last death toll I saw was 48 on the plane, 1 in the house (presumably the husband, with the wife and child somehow escaping) and another death (it was added to the total but the news anchor didn't say who they were or how they died). BBC link It turns out, after reading the article, that there was an off-duty crew member on board (the 50th person who died). The really sad thing is, one of the passengers was a 9/11 widow who was travelling home to mark what would have been her husbands 58th birthday =[
The pyro sand game refuses to work on my laptop =[ Although, this one is making me install some java update, so maybe it will work now 8D OMG THIS GAME IS AWESOME *tears of joy*
Your perception of reality is invalid.
Did you know that there is a free application for the iPhone and iPod Touch that contains everything a Death Cab For Cutie fan would ever need? It even has 8 of their songs on it ;D It has tour dates and directions to your nearest venue as well as detailed information on the band itself. Also, I bet you have never sent a 10 page long text while drunk before. I have, and it felt GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT!
Towards the latter half of my primary school education we got a new headmaster. He changed that saying to read "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will rip my heart out." I think it was part of an anti-bullying campaign or something lol But there is some truth to it. Emotional scars can last a lot longer than mental ones, and can't be helped with medicine or hospitals. They have to be dealt with by you and you often aren't strong enough to deal with it. So yeah, words can cause much more lasting damage than physical violence but only if you let them.
The same thing happened after 9/11. People tried to profit off of the tragedy =/ Your best bet is to only send money to registered and well-known charities, not door-to-door collections. I heard on the news that a man has been arrested for purposefully setting fires............as well as on child pornography charges >_> Lets hope that justice is served.
It's all a lie.
I wouldn't have expected any less from you <3
One of the few people who ever talked sense. Too bad there are still ignorant ****s who ignore his wise words. You should all feel ashamed.
There is no poll, but I presume there will be one lol Before anyone can answer, they need to know if the jar is closed or not. If it is then it most certainly will. Fire requires all sides of the "triangle" i.e. heat, fuel and air (oxygen specifically). Therefore, as the fire burns it uses up the oxygen supply. This means that the larger the jar, the larger the air supply therefore the longer the fire will burn.
Is it really long enough after the event that jokes like this are allowed?
Very rude. Does he not know of sofa etiquette? They have classes =/
I shall have to add it to the reading list then.
You could try getting trainers like everyone else.
Meh, too much effort. It would also mean prying my brother off World of Warcraft for more than about 2 minutes. I swear, he would get a catheter fitted if he could.
