:laugh4:

 

well.....somehow yes.....I've realised that they are not an better thna me because I'm actually the same..

oh and btw...I used to admire them when I was younger...in my deepest puberty...:laugh4:

 

 

so finally it was all a problem of puberty...aahhahahahaha...:laugh4:

puberty sucks ... its like ur atomaticly stupid when you reach it :laugh4:

I'm cool.

Nah, it makes sense. I mean, I think many people have felt this way... when you were younger.. you wanted to fit in and take in something that was gonna MAKE you fit in.

 

As you grew older you developed your own style and it just happened to be that which you looked up to. And it it suits you, then ace up!

 

I think, in my "group" I was considered the cool one. I was missed when I was gone and every day was all smiles when I was around. And I really don't care what you take when you read all this.

 

I made an effort to make my friends laugh, and besides I had gotten out more that most other people of that time. I've gone places, done things that would make a good story. Spunk, I had alot of spunk. Mostly, if you hung out with me, I would be the one planning troubles.

 

And when it came to music. I made an effort to search for good music.... and introduced it to my friends and then they liked it and then their friends liked it and all that good jazz. I had a friend who worked in a music shop. So he and I would always listen to music...of all kinds! And I learned alot.

 

Basically, I was easy to get along with and I had many friends because of that. And I was fun. Still am, don't know why this is all written in past tense *shrugs*

Well for me cool its all about personality ' date=' i mean at least for me , coz you can be rich and have like the best clothes and stuff and you can be like uhh a geek or something haha , i mean people who are cool you can have great convertations with them you laugh your ass of with them and stuff , for me thats when someone is cool[/quote']

 

Are you sure you're not mistaking cool for fool??:rolleyes:

At least someone understands what I mean....hehe....

I'm the uncoolest person in the world :smug:

 

Haha I really am. I don't smoke, I don't drink, I never wear fashionable clothes and all... And I'm so not the soul of the party :anxious:

 

I don't even visit parties that much :uhoh:

 

I like soap bubbles and milkshakes :baby:

Sounds cool to me, because you're resisting the temptation to do the same as everyone else.

Individuality is cool!!;)

Ouch :anxious:

 

But... Then I have to be like everybody else to be uncool, right?... That's complicated.

The point is that it's very easy to copy everyone else in order to "fit in". It's much more difficult to resist the urge and do as you feel. Following trends or copying other people isn't cool in my book - it's being a "sheep"!!;)

Yes I think the same......ALTHOUGH IT DOESN'T BECOME CLEAR IN THIS THREAD!

Yeah but I guess it'd be much more difficult for me to "fit in". I mean, what can be easier than just doing what you wanna do and behave like you want to?..

 

I think if I tried to be cool I'd just fail and feel like a dumb :disappointed:

i really hate bullys who think they are cool so they beat up "Nerdy" kids. Those are the real "nerds"

Yeah but I guess it'd be much more difficult for me to "fit in". I mean' date=' what can be easier than just doing what you wanna do and behave like you want to?.. [/quote']

 

It isn't easy, because of all the negative comments and pressure you're likely to receive from the "sheep"!!;)

 

I think if I tried to be cool I'd just fail and feel like a dumb :disappointed:

 

Then don't "try".;)

you've been online a long time havent you?

you've been online a long time havent you?

 

:dozey:

Man, who the fuck wants to be cool? I just want some fucking peace.........argh :/

I think all my friends are cooler than me but that doesn't make me want to be the same as them. They are the same as eachother in terms of interests etc but I don't really like anything theyre into. Sometimes I feel like I have to at least try and be like them so we can become closer but it's hard. :confused:

ha! same here. all my closer friends are into different things but we are close though...

Yay somebody understands :) I wasn't sure how it'd come across. I think when I was younger I gave into peer pressure a bit and my mates were trying to change me but I never gave in. We're still close, just in different ways.

I think I've always been a bit careless in that aspect. Maybe because I just accepted myself as an outsider..who knows.

 

 

But I did understood what you said and Even now.. we are all in different phases in our lifes, but we all get along well.

yeah yeah

 

Who could possibly be mean enough to attack the angelic frontman of the world’s most inoffensive band - Coldplay? Well someone’s got to do it. I recognise that he’s an all-round Lovely Bloke who really wants the world to live in peace and harmony. Unfortunately he’s doing a pretty good job of ensuring that this won’t be possible.

 

Let me begin by admitting that almost every environmentalist I know - and I include myself - is a hypocrite. We all want people to live by codes rather stricter than those we apply to ourselves, which is why real action on climate change isn’t possible without intervention by the government. But Chris is in a league of his own.

In an interview for the Guardian conducted in Las Vegas in 2005, he spoke about the songs on his album X&Y.

Twisted Logic is an intense, angry track encouraging people to make the right decisions about how they live their lives and how they treat the planet.

A few paragraphs later, he revealed that he was about to fly by private jet to Palm Springs, 35 minutes from Las Vegas. The band can now afford to fly wherever possible, and the increased privacy and speed mean that Apple will be able to join her father on tour more often. “I certainly don’t want her to stay at home all the time,” Martin says. “As she gets older, hopefully she’ll come out as and when she wants. I always thought it’d be cool to be in school and say, ‘I’m not coming in today - I’m off to Costa Rica to see my dad play.’ I do think that wins you a few points.”(1)

The following week, Alison Goldfrapp told an interviewer that, during his tours, Chris flies home between gigs. “We supported Coldplay and Chris Martin used to fly home on his jet, go home, write songs then fly to the next gig. “I thought, ‘What? Are you insane?’”(2)

As Goldfrapp suggested, his trips back “home” (this could be one of a number of places) were plainly unnecessary. While the rest of the tour hopped from gig to gig, he must have travelled twice or even three times as far. But even if it was absolutely essential, for some reason, that he went back to Gwyneth and Apple and Mangosteen, why couldn’t he travel in a commercial plane?

None of the accounts I have read give the make of his jet, but I will assume it’s that standard celebrity vehicle, the Learjet 45. The reports suggest that even if he is not the sole passenger, he is the sole beneficiary of the journey: those who travel with him - minders, servants or crew - go only for his convenience. So I will place the plane’s carbon emissions on his account.

The Learjet 45 has a normal cruising speed of 846 kmph. Its fuel consumption at this speed is 579 litres/hour, which means it burns 0.68 litres of kerosene per kilometre(3). The Airbus A321, a standard medium-haul commercial plane, travels at 853kmph and uses 3000 litres per hour, or 3.52 litres per kilometre(4). It seats around 189 people. Assuming that average occupancy is 70%, or 132, then every passenger is responsible for burning 0.027 litres per kilometre, or one 25th of Chris Martin’s consumption. But, as Heat shows, even one return trip across the Atlantic on a commercial airliner equates to a person’s entire sustainable carbon ration for a year.

It’s probably fair to assume that he flies at least 100,000 miles (or ten return journeys averaging 10,000 miles each) in his private jet each year. If so - and even before taking the rest of his activities into account - he would be exceeding his fair share of carbon by 250 times. If we were to take the other climate changing effects of air travel into account, we would multiply this by 2.7 times.

As if to prove that making the right decisions about how to treat the planet really is for lesser mortals, in December 2005 Chris Martin pranged his car, whereupon we learnt that the model he drives is a BMW X5. This is one of the thirstiest 4×4s on the road. The US Environmental Protection Agency reveals that in cities (he rammed someone’s hatchback in Belsize Park in London) they manage just 16 miles to the gallon(5).

Chris Martin claims to care about the poorest people on earth. Why then does he seem to be mounting a one-man campaign to sweep them off the planet?
