Penguin feces ARE sexy to begin with! ;)

I've never smoked weed but I don't see an issue with smoking it on rare occasion. It's not addictive and it's not something that's going to build up tar in your lungs over a long period of time. Plus you actually get something out of it (a harmless high) which is far greater than what you get out of a cigarette.

The following is a paid advertisement, approved by Saffire (i.e. Insane Libertarian Nutjob): 1. Nukes are fantastic. Load up on them. Every country should have nukes, because the moment they get them, they're free to govern as they see fit (read: sovereignty!). Having nukes raises the "cost" of going to war for both countries to unacceptable levels - mutually assured destruction. This is a good thing. 2. Energy independence should be our #1 priority. Forget going to Mars or the "war on drugs". Figure out a way to incorporate solar panels in asphalt, so that every highway/parking lot/rooftop is covered in them. As Chuck said, battery tech is also key. We need to get beyond lithium ion and into carbon nanofiber as our battery material of choice. Scientists: cut their sleep time to just 4 hours a night to accelerate production! I want this stuff now. 3. Pot for everyone. This is obligatory, but it would also help to mellow people out, man. 4. Change the laws so that corporations/individuals may only give money to a single candidate. Once your candidate drops out or loses, you aren't allowed to switch or give money to the others. A list will be made public of contributors for each campaign. You can give as much money as you want! All other campaign finance laws will be suspended. You hear that John McCain and Gaylord Feingold?! 5. Enact an amendment that requires Congress to rescind two laws for every one new law they pass, until the year 2050. Christmas tree amendments need not apply.

My grandfather was a chain smoker and he lived to be over 80 (died of heart failure, not cancer), but that's only because my family has super-long-life genes. All of my friends smoke, a couple regularly, and most occasionally. So I'm around it alot. I don't smoke though, and I don't drink, so I'm sort of the oddball in my crew. I never will, I value my health too much.

The problem with our government is that it spends taxpayer dollars as if they're tossing around bails of hay. Nothing our government does is prefaced on efficiency or prioritization. The reason for this is that everything is framed as an emotional/moralistic debate in politics. It's the rich versus the poor, the Terrorists (read: Arabs) versus the Americans, the old geezers versus those young whippersnappers. People need to become more aware of when they're being strung along by these ridiculous cliches and vote for a third party. What frightens the Republicans and Democrats more than anything is the fear they will lose a significant % of their vote to third party candidates. And with the parties so close, now's the time to take advantage of that and "throw your vote away" on someone who won't get elected!

*snaps fingers* Crap! Another one got away. :laugh4:

How about "Roosters on the Rooftop"? Here's another: Zebras on a Zeppelin

:stunned: :stunned: :stunned: Aleja, you are an absolute beauty. I mean seriously... model material.

Alpacas on an Archipelago.

Psh, I think I'd rather share YOU with Jessica Alba. (Yeah, the effect wore off. That didn't last long.) :D

That scene sent shivers down my spine. I think it was just how everything was culminating to that one point, and the techno music was really smashing (BTW, the song is "Absurd" by Fluke. If you want I can send it to you.)

Sin City was an awesome movie. I wish there were more stylish films like that (and like 300 - Rawr).

SHUT YOUR MOUTH BEFORE WE NUKE YOU. *consults history textbook* Oh, wait... hello, friendly Englishman. :D

What is it with guys and Jessica Alba? I mean I get that's she's got gorgeous big eyes, beautiful hair, perfectly tanned skin, youthful features, voluptuous breasts, long legs... and... and... Holy hell I'm straight now. I wonder how long this will last?! :D

Tell your boss to cut his hair and wear a tie, dammit! You can't do radio looking like that! :P I see my boss every day I wake up and look in the mirror. I intend to keep it that way!

Culer. :D

It's nice to see all the support from straights on here, but I wonder if this is a symptom of their age, rather than a gradual shift toward society's acceptance? I don't mean to be a cynic but young people are generally more socially liberal than adults - maybe after people have kids and a family they stop being so tolerant of homosexuality? Also, I was curious what peoples' thoughts are on gays adopting children. I'm sort of torn on this issue, because part of me thinks it's a good thing to offer them the kind of love only a family could provide... but at the same time I think it's good to have both a strong male and female role model in their developing years. Also I'd be afraid they'd get teased mercilessly by kids at school.

Dark chocolate is an abomination the likes of which hasn't been seen since the Iron Maiden. I heard the movie "Blood Diamond" was originally about Cocoa factories in Africa that made dark chocolate, but the director thought it would clash with Willy Wonka, so he changed the subject matter.

Chuck, this is an interesting take of the current state of affairs because you've approached it from an angle that I (as an insane Adam Smith Capitalist) have difficulty arguing with. By framing the problem as one of RISK as opposed to making it a moral or environmental one, you remind me of the Capitalist's response to taking on too much risk - diversification! So I agree we should begin by diversifying our sources of energy right now, even if I don't believe in something akin to "peak oil" theory. The problem I see is infrastructure. So we can agree that oil is primarily used to fuel our cars. We pump gas at any one of hundreds of thousands of gas stations spread across the country. Whatever a new type of car runs on will need (presumably) a new infrastructure. But even this isn't certain... take a look at Tesla's announcement: http://www.teslamotors.com/ The CEO says that within four years such cars will be under 30,000 dollars. Assuming these things catch on... and people buy them due to the low cost per "gallon" of electricity relative to gasoline... imagine the strain it would put on the electric grid! We'd need a few more nuclear power plants to say the least. Here's a great quote from their website:

Oh I forgot to add to my list: ~ Get 1000 posts on a Coldplay forum. ;) BTW, I love you Aleja! :D

I thought this said "great" oral sex. Can we make this a thread about great oral sex instead?!

My roommate and I used to watch the OC just to make fun of it, Mystery Science Theater 3000 style. It was a riot.
