HAY GUYS.

Well I agree with you that it's unfortunate the connotations have become mixed and the original meaning of the word is completely lost. Personally I like the British slang "bent" because it's the opposite of "straight" and it's one syllable which is much easier than saying "homosexual". ;)

lol you guys calm down, she didn't mean anything bad by it. I don't think you're teaching her a lesson by getting mad at her about the thread title. Put your energy and effort somewhere else.

They should just toss a coin on all laws in California every day, because it's clear they don't give a crap about principle. "Daddy, is murder legal today?" "Yes, honey, so we can't leave the house again." "Aww."

Sort of like how whenever I smell some disgusting rotting animal or stain, I call it "straight". ;)

Let's get married in Canada.

I'm an attention whore. That's why I spend all my time indoors on the computer!

I saw it last night. A beautiful, awesome, great movie. Highly recommend it! Also Pixar made a little short film that goes before it, which was just great. I felt like a kid again.

Sorry guys, I think he caught it from me. BTW, Chris... your avatar. :P Gosh you're cute. Get a girlfriend, dammit, it's driving me crazy.

Does PETA have a Spain chapter? I can't really blame the bull, he did his buddies good. There will probably be a party for him in Bull-heaven.

This is pretty cool. For those of you who might not understand the following I'll give a little premier on what's happening. The Federal Reserve (which basically writes IOU's in the American Taxpayer's name and sells them to China, etc.) can no longer rely on China to buy all of them. So they're printing up these IOU's (bonds) and buying them from themselves - which is sort of cheating, because it's the equivalent of just printing money outright. China is ticked off, because every time they do this it causes their American bonds to become worth less. And the value of the US dollar will eventually fall as inflation kicks in. Bond holders aren't stupid - they know to demand a higher interest rate on their contracts when there's inflation. So while the Federal Reserve is busy printing money to hold interest rates low (the key to reviving the economy - or so they say), bond holders are demanding higher rates and the market is reflecting that. The only solution is to - you guessed it! - print even more money. It's a vicious cycle. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=akW9GQw.X9KM&refer=worldwide Another thing to note: Bill Gross, the guy who manages a multi-billion dollar bond fund, is an evil, manipulative, f*ckwit. Here's why: all during the beginning of this economic crisis he was a cheerleader for inflationary policies. He demanded the Fed print more money, in newspaper articles and TV interviews. Now he's about to make an absolute fortune off it.

Turtle power! Your odds of rolling in that thing are wonderfully low.

Nick, we've totally gotta hang out sometime. You're like my long lost brother or something, lol. Let's find out when Peter Schiff is doing a tour near us and meet him together! I'm going to get him to sign my chest and we can both scream really high-pitched when he shows up.

There are so many strange things about life. I mean for starters there are different categories of life that just baffle me. How would Fungus and Viruses just spring up independently of one another? I know viruses aren't considered living, but why not? Are we to assume there are other "types" of life in the universe that might not be carbon based? Life is just too damn strange. God must be like Dr. Seuss. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJnn-wMPU9w]YouTube - pygmy jerboa?????[/ame]

Use a straw, it bypasses your teef. EDIT: LOL, Nick, it just dawned on me how vain your post is. But it's okay, I think about stupid stuff like this all the time. I sleep on my stomach so sometimes I worry if I lay on one side of my face too much it'll create asymmetric wrinkles in my skin. :P

lol Chuck, as an anarchist I have to disagree with you that governments "serve our needs as citizens". I think it's the other way around. But also as a student of economics I adore efficiency. There is so much untapped energy in the world, and I'm sure in the next hundred years scientists will find all sorts of ingenious ways to capture it. Seeing a gas guzzler with only one person in it makes me cringe, but for a different reason than you - I think of it as burning money. :laugh3: I can't agree with Obama's fuel efficiency regulations, of course. I think many Americans will become fed up with them after a couple of years and they'll quickly be repealed. But that's just a guess. If the economy continues to get worse people will be willing to grant even more power to politicians and continue to pass superstitious laws that will appease the Christian God and Gaia.

lol No, I wish my legs looked that nice. But I'm not a bad looking chap, either. ;)

I'm a firm believer in outdoor physical activities. :sneaky:

Investor Marc Faber says US will go into hyperinflation because the Federal Reserve will be reluctant to raise interest rates. http://bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aIeLg1djbBps&refer=home

:( You're missing a few teeth.

A sexy fit man? I'd need to see his picture to know for sure.

lol and Dan Brown's been making a fortune off it.

Some male swimsuit photoshoots are hilarious. Did he just trip and fall on those concrete steps or what? Not exactly the best venue for a model.

If it weren't Scientology it would be something else. In the words of the wise philosopher Ron White, "You can't fix stupid."
