Never heard of the make out song?.. though I was excited to see this - Awesome, another MM fan. Their new album is pretty good, though the Lonesome West is still my fav.

It's nice. I've always lived in CA, though I'm new to Santa Clara. There's a very relaxed environment here. I live a block from an independently owned coffee shop (much resembling the one in friends), in where I spend most of my day reading. It's lovely, a perfect atmosphere for what I need right now. How's Texas?

Oops, missed the 2nd page. Hi Genesis, nice to meet you as well!

Wow, that godly fellow is quite annoying. Hopefully he leaves or gets banned soon. For all you normal people not stupidly seeking attention, hello & nice to meet you! Hi Lotta! Nice to meet you as well :) Hey Badaboum! I definitely remember you, hiya! Hi Angel ;) Hi, I'm Brett. Nice to meet you. -- how do I become a part of your Coldplay Religion? Way to deal with the situation. Thanks for fixing my hijacked thread Speedy! Hello Denise. We have talked before. I remember you came here around the same time as I did a while ago. Hi Sammie! I remember you too! Hola fifi. How could I forget you. Does my Tauren friend Girlstar still visit these boards? She was the first to talk to me when I came here originally. I miss her :blush:. Anyways, nice seeing all these friendly faces!

Howdy folks, I used to come to this forum about 6 months ago. It looks like you've got a few more people here now, but still a lot of familiar faces. For anyone that remembers me, "Hello!".. & to all the others, "Hello!". I don't know why I originally stopped coming here, but somehow I stumbled across this site again. When I have time (between my two jobs), I will try to lurk these boards once again. Just briefly browsing some threads brought back good memories. These boards seem a bit slower now; Opera clocked the load times at around 20 or 30 seconds per page with DSL. Maybe there's maintenance going on tonight? -- Anyways, I missed you guys. You'll see me around.

Lol, what is Perv SistaZ? Oh well, tis cool. Very creative and cool avatar, 10 fo sho.

No ‘Naner, I’m sorry we do not think alike. I cringe at most of the posts you make. I may remind you of what you’re trying to be, but no we do not think alike. & what? BostonRob's idea started this, so unless you & Ren talked in PM’s discussing the true intentions for this thread before posting in reply, that’s bull shit. Ren did try to stop the argument before it got started, but you forced it to continue. You did this buy saying the following in your first line – Then you proceeded to, 1) State that Ren “started it”. :lol: 2) Place your own importance on the aspects of Ren’s personal life. 3) Pat yourself on the back, how cool you think you are. 4) Admit to being an asshole, and then apologize in your sarcastic, again lame and incomprehensible internet gabber l33t-sp33k. If you really wanted to end something, a 6 year old could have approached it better. Simply responding to Ren’s first post with a smiley, :blush: would have put an end to it.. - - I don’t want to continue, but you had to make every god damn line in your response stupid. You may not lurk others currently, but you have been to, and taken note from past boards I’m sure. It’s very clear that you do want to be a “Cool Flamer”, but the fact is, you’re not, and people here dislike you instead. Still, this gives you that attention you seek, thus you continue to blab. As far as “lowering yourself” like the phrase goes, you’ve accomplished exposing that fault all on your own. I never said that this was staged, nor assumed so. The only thing that was fake and easy to call, was you. For instance, I basically said you were a douche in my last post, yet like expected you’ve tried to make a friend -

I found the woman of my dreams. Her name is Holly Carroll http://media.animal.discovery.com/fansites/wildkingdom/wildladies/livingwith/livingwith.html

'Ello. Any initiation to join this thread? :chinese:

To add my two cents, I think this post had the right idea. This board is boring, and there needs to be more good discussions. Many times on message boards, those discussions turn to flames, but so be it. Flames are just more intense discussions with witty insults, usually making for great memories. Before I say anything else, an opinion can always be taken as an insult. For every Yin, there’s a Yang, and it’s up to every Yang to protect them self. If you’re the person whose beliefs are being challenged, than you can choose how you want to react. Whether that is you being offended, inquisitive, hostile, aloof, it’s up to you. Riff, already you have lost a lot of this battle for a couple reasons. 1.) You screwed yourself when you started with this - 2.) From your replies, it’s obvious you’re very sensitive about supporting Coldplay. Most fans, who feel as “strongly” as you would jump on the opportunity to defend attacks against their originality and ingenuity. Bananaman is more structured in his posts, and uses all the stereotypical flaming techniques found on other message boards. I’ve only just returned to these boards, but my assessment is that he is here to seek attention. He may also, like me, feel this place is a bit boring, and truly want a good discussion. So far unfortunately, this fight has gone no where… Bananaman is trying to rally up support & look intelligent, and has neglected his point. The way I see it is, he once had you in a good position, but gave it away when he said this – By trying to end an argument with a weak cop out, especially when Ban aggressively went after Ren a few posts earlier makes him the true loser of this round. The cop out wasn’t even comprehendible; its one thing to use bad grammar & abbreviations to be hip on message board Ebonics, but Ban’s closing sentence was just pathetically lame. You both got to each other way too easily. Ren put up a good fight for being a true “nice guy”. Banana’s loss just gave him more practice towards becoming a true “cool flamer” like those he whacks it to from the other message boards he frequents. I like the idea of this thread though, it added some spice to this community and I think we should all promote and applaud this show of free speech. I love Coldplay for a variety of reasons. No one can convince me that Coldplay is bad; they can only convince me that they think Coldplay is bad. With this stance, I am free to discuss openly the reasons in why the featured subject is or is not, without hurt feelings. I guess I had more change than I thought, more than two cents anyway. I just think its lame to dislike Bananaman for giving us something to talk about. Conflict is what keeps us thinking! Good effort on both your parts. Hopefully, the games will continue. I want some climax as B-Rob said.[/i]

Hey, I'm Brett :D Welcome.

*wondering what Riff_ meant when he said, "Fook, i have to get rid of her stupid friend first". *damn, this floater band is fucking awesome. *is this girl from work going to call me? It’s 12:01 at night. *hmf. When will I find my partner in crime? *oh yeah, I got a blunt hidden rolled in a missing film canister...

AFK for a couple.

Me thinks your friend went to bed, for real. :(

<~~ Not scared. Just "getting to know" you both. Proceed, proceed.

[. nm .]

Brett is my name! Stealing other peoples theads is my game! I will leave you two to do your thing now.. :wink3:

I'm doing quite well tonight. I recently got a new apartment, and I'm just organizing my room :cool: -- How are you?

Ello.

Of course I remember you! To better explain my view -- Cigarette smokers are “stupid” to smoke, because the side effects are lethal. Everyone knows this, so saying someone’s stupid for doing it, is. You can’t argue the facts on lung cancer, directly linked to smoking (plus it’s a huge waste of money). Marijuana has no deadly side effects that are realistic in getting with the normal smoking habits of a pothead. The plant will only give you a slightly modified perspective. You will forget the bad moments in your day and be able to relax with a smile if you weren’t before. It’s a very healthy, meditative drug if done responsibly. Like any good thing, some people will take it in excess and turn it into a bad thing. People who can’t stop eating get fat, people who can’t stop smoking get temporarily slow. Both, you can work off; the effects of pot never last, whether it’s a night, or 3 days, you will be your normal self again. Because of its illegality, it’s expensive, that’s a downfall. Someone might say that’s the reason a smoker is stupid. To defend myself, the price I pay for pot is worth the self changes I’ve made after seeing things through red eyes. I’ve become the person I am because I’ve opened up through pot. I’ve read books I wouldn’t be interested in, eventually decided on some sort of spirituality, and enjoyed different new music. Still though, Cigarettes = make you smell bad, kill you. Weed = make you laugh, make you stupid for the night. Alcohol has worse side effects than weed, but I’m sure most on this board have had a drink. ^.^

In reply to Kettercat~ I answered “I smoke THC AKA weed”. I used to smoke cigarettes for 7 years & recently quit. Smoking cigarettes is dumb; I knew that from the start. As far as weed goes, it’s a case by case basis. Marijuana stimulates the mind: Before pot was illegal, many of the greatest minds used it as a tool. Many great European writers and intellectuals smoked the herb. French writer Victor Hugo, German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, and former US President John F. Kennedy were all pot heads. Sober, I have a scattered brain, I always have. As a Virgo, I have the tendency to worry about everything and strive for order and accomplishment. If I wake up to a green bowl by my bed, I can open my eyes, and see the world in a better light. I’m ready to get things done with out the stress of the world really affecting me. I can enjoy my job, and continue my day in a productive manner, working out, hanging with friends, etc. When I am sober, they day seems long at 11am, and I feel the need to power down a couple Starbucks just to keep moving. Like most things, different strokes for different folks, but this is how it works for me. Marijuana has helped those in pain: Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Lester Grinspoon and James Bakalar wrote the book Marijuana: The Forbidden Medicine. The two claim marijuana could ease nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy, improve the appetite of AIDS patients, and help those with glaucoma. In the US, over the last few years, weed is often being prescribed and helping people. *The ancient Egyptians recommended marijuana for sore eyes while various cultures used it to treat coughs, headaches, and menstrual cramps. Chinese Emperor Shen Nung was convinced the plant could cure beriberi, malaria, rheumatism, and constipation In ancient India, marijuana was the standard treatment for fever and dysentery while African women smoked it to relieve the pain of childbirth. Other conditions believed to be cured by marijuana were anxiety, asthma, depression, epilepsy, and loss of appetite. Small wonder it has become the most popular illegal drug in the United States and the second most commonly abused drug in the Philippines. The bad parts ~ Marijuana can cause respiratory diseases, but not if it’s being smoked through a vaporizer and can cause depression. Pregnant women who smoke have an increased risk of delivering babies with a low birth weight or leukemia. Many legal items on the market have much worse side effects than this. The smoke from weed will not contain the same additives in cigarettes, and the addiction you get if any is not chemical, it’s only physical &/or mental. Marijuana is much less harmful than cigarettes, much less addictive. The benefits of smoking pot (if you have the personality for it) are way over any other drugs I can think of and much less detrimental. I don’t think its smart sounding to label all pot smokers as stupid. If you’d like you can speak for yourself, and say “when I smoke weed, I’m stupid”, but otherwise your statement sounds pretty naïve and ignorant Kettercat. "Reality is a crutch for people who can't handle drugs." -Lily Tomlin “Herb the gift from the earth and what's from the earth is of the greatest worth so before you knock it try it first you'll see it's a blessing and its not a curse” –Ben Harper Ps. Yeah, I haven’t been around in a while. I was actually just cruising to see if Girlstar was still posting here (*wave*). Not trying to start shit, but it’s a good topic and there are a lot of misconceptions here.
