legacyme3 : Thank you for confirming what I was talking about. Do you do anything other than snipe peoples posts? Do you have anything to do at all with your life? Go for a run when you feel like behaving like a jackass. Your sniping on posts and jumping my brothers posts are the main reason he and I are out of this site. You sir think you are a wonderful judge of people, but you expose yourself in the process. Perhaps you have replaced lying with judging.

I gave this site a chance, and regret that very much. My brother invited me to this web site because he enjoyed playing games and knew I liked to blog. Even though this site claims it is not a Christian site, Christian politics and ideals rule the forums. It is insulting to those of us that don't believe in Christ or have discovered the tremendous faults of the Church. Because I use my brain I have to deal with other people putting me and my ideals down because they choose to follow mythology.
On top of that my brother get ganged up on by the mods because he has some good posting ideas I'm sure they've stolen by now. The maturity levels of most of your moderators is severely low. Annette is the only one I've met and liked, as she isn't judgmental nor does she jump on people's posts she doesn't like.
Add to the the attacks on the site(that had to be brought on somehow, I would guess a member flaming another board, or a former member that got screwed). My brother and I both got spyware from this site and had to re-install our browsers.
Between the kids posting their nonsense having nothing to do with the OP, immature moderators, and the overwhelming christian overlording here, then the attacks and viruses that have popped up since; I have no choice but to leave and not come back. Hope you guys get your selves together.

AndyGer : That was the last show I watched as well. So far it has been intriguing and has had some good action. Like most HBO series the random nudity seems thrown in and doesn't add to the plot most of the time. While at times it's nice to see, most of the time is just distracts from a part of the story I was getting into. The use of foul language humanizes the characters and the wardrobe and weaponry is very real as well.

I went to a Military boarding school for my 10th, 11th, and 12th grade years. Some parts of it I enjoyed, like the smaller classes, getting to goof off at Fort Jackson, and some of the people I got to know and still talk to. There were many drawbacks of course and I missed out on things like Prom, parties, girls, and my friends at home(most of whom I don't keep up with or can't find even though I was closer with them than my military school friends before hand). I'd have to say that overall it was an experience like any other's and is only what you make of it in the end. Had I stayed at public school I don't think too much would be different. I would just have different FB friends.

I listen to lots of classical music. Mozart, Vivaldi, Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, Wagner, Tchaikovsky, Gershwin, etc. I can play some Mozart and Vivaldi on the piano. I'm not very good or practiced though. I just bought a new keyboard piano and am excited about it getting here.

1) Is it a good thing to have missing Ozone or Ozone at ground level instead of the sky as portions are today?
2) Can you refute that greenhouse gases in proportions beyond natural limit is bad?
3) Can you provide more than one paper as any respectable scientist wouldn't base a conclusion on one research paper when many already refute said paper?
4) Can you deny global climate change is taking place?
5) Can you prove that natural occurrences are causing the melting of the polar caps?
6) Do you honestly believe that humans aren't destroying the planet and causing irreversible changes to it?
If so(on 6) then you clearly aren't aware of everything happening around you all the time. Pollution in this country is returning to industrial revolution levels, corporations are fighting harder than ever to fight science and anti-pollution law, and new vehicles continue to populate the world spreading constant pollution. Any scientist that can perpetrate the attacks on knowledge corporations are paying for can't truly be scientists. It is intellectual insincerity in it's purest.

I have completed a 1/2 marathon...but that was 16 years ago. I would love to get back into good enough shape to run a full marathon. Sprinting comes more natural to me than distance running, but I have always loved the mental challenge and meditation of distance running. The wall a person has to hit running 26 miles must be insane...and therefore such a rush to topple.

Most nights I'm up until about 3:30-4:00am. I was born at noon and like to get up then, when I can. I hate getting up in the morning, though when I force myself to get up I usually enjoy morning once I'm over getting woken. I've always been a night person, I like the night, the starts, the quiet, the darkness. I've always felt comfortable walking around the city at night, even when I lived just outside Detroit, when you own the night it shows.

I'm too old for this post. All the songs people were into when I was in school are either cult classics or guilty pleasures. "I Touch Myself" by the Divinyls was one that everyone in the 8th grade was singing that I hadn't heard since...until I heard a a couple months ago on my friends MP3 player.

I believe in karma and reincarnation. I'm not sure where I would fit as far as religion goes since I don't follow traditions of Buddhism or Hinduism. I have a complicated theory I somewhat created and follow. I call it the Immature Spirit theory. There are a finite amount of spirits inhabiting this world. A spirit inhabits every living thing, all classes, families, and species. As a spirit evolves and learns it's lesson from each stage of life, they can move on to the next. The reverse can happen as well when a spirit fails in positive actions in that life. The farther a spirit goes in evolution the more complicated the suffering and deeds become. When a spirit reaches full maturity they can become human. As humans have taken control of the planet however, we over-populate, and kill of plants and lesser animals. Those immature spirits have nowhere to go except up into the larger human population. Having never learned the lessons the spirit was supposed to they don't know how to handle being human and behave violently and selfishly. I therefore think people that are violent and selfish have immature spirits due to the rapid, unchecked advancement of mankind. Meditation, knowledge, and positive social environments are the only thing to help an immature spirit catch up.

Hockey has been played with hitting for 100 years. Hitting is not the issue, it's the cheap shots into the boards, head shots, and hits after the whistle. Many sports have physical contact and have rules to limit the physical play to the pure intention of he game. Taking hitting out of hockey would completely change the game. Anyone that has watched a non-checking league game would say that isn't hockey. When enforcing rules one can't say, just do away with the part that is hard to judge, because that would change the nature of the game. One instead must clarify the rules and enforce them properly. Officiating shouldn't be EZ-mode, this isn't a video game. And ruining sports to make it EZ-mode on the fans and refs is what is ruining the NBA. The NHL will follow in those footsteps as the fans of the NBA continue to support a league they know to be corrupt. The problem is also money, league pay so much attention to the money making portions of their games, they don't give a hoot about the pure essence of their sport, and therefore the officiating and league rules suffer as result....they quality of sport suffers in the end as well.

When I was in HS I ran the mile in 5.15 for my PR. My 3 mile PR was 18.42. We never timed our 5 mile runs, but I'm not a fast distance runner. I have two modes for running, for sports and track I have a bit of a different stride and push, heavy on the toe push at the end of the stride. For long distance my stride is even and more flowing. I'm trying to get back in shape right now, having turned 33 in September is making that tougher as well as living in the mountains. I ran a 6.48 the last time I timed a mile. I know that generally speaking for my case I add a half minute to the average mile time for every mile added to the race. But my current shape probably has that formula inaccurate.

diabeticzach : I'm trying to find the "vulgar" words in the post you are talking about. Also trying to figure out why one mimicking of a vulgar word in a 13 and over forum would be in the wrong. When a child would be breaking the rules of the forum in looking at this post, using colorful wording that isn't offensive and has to be deciphered in order to get it to begin with, it's the child at fault. "makes you wonder what motivation they had in releasing these chemicals to the public with out any form of testing on what the long term effects could be" ever watch a prescription drug commercial? The pharmaceutical companies that created heroin and morphine are still at it making highly addictive drugs with terrible side effects to dump on the public. It's all about money.

I'm not sure if I walk more for the exercise or just because I have always gone for walks since I was a kid every day. I helps me gather my thoughts to walk by myself and I have good conversations with people when I walk with them. I've always been a big foot traveler and have never had a problem walking for miles our hours depending on how people view their walking. On foot is the best way to see a city or the country as I see it. I guess I am a hobbit like that.

I chipped my right front tooth just after it had fully grown in. I was riding my bike with my friend in a newly paved parking lot. We were riding around as fast as we could weaving around imitating speeder bikes from Return of the Jedi. He turned in to my front wheel sending the handle bars spinning and throwing me over the front right onto my mouth, since my arms were pulled back by the handle bars. It hurt really bad and the dentist wanted me to tell him my mom had hit me because he didn't believe me. They were going to call the cops, but I had the other half of the tooth with the asphalt still in it. So this is a bit of a chipped tooth and over zealous doctor connected with social services story.

danielbelitch : Unless they have his exact DNA they would have to compare the DNA from the remains to his closest relative's DNA. That would only prove relation and not that it was actually him though. It's his family and his followers that would need the convincing though since none of us are after him or should have a real reason to care, as like you said, for 10 years he faded from the news and never was a priority for the US military to start.

JUNGLExMAN : but what war are you talking about? Where is this "war" taking place? The war in Afghanistan is against the Taliban, the people that allowed terror groups to train and take refuge in the country. Iraq was about WMD, then ousting Saddam, then about Democracy. Where is this war on terror being fought and who is this clearly defined enemy that he was the "leader" of? Wars are defined events, history tells us that, conflicts and skirmishes have clear actors and participants. Only since the Cold War has it been acceptable for a free society to fight a series of secret conflicts to enact political change.

Cultural grudges seem to be a really bad flaw of the human race. throughout history there are many accounts of aggressive actions from one culture to another for historical reasons that didn't presently effect those people. Regions of the world are still ripe with cultural bigotry and tensions relating to actions their great grand parents only heard as stories. Maybe it's that we hold on to those grudges as a part of our identity and can't see giving it up. One of the greatest things about the internet and our fast connect world is that we might start to see the qualities in each other that make us similar more than those that make us different. Though from the looks of the current situation in the US politically, we should start at home and work our way out.

JUNGLExMAN : can you explain the war he was a leader of? If you are referring to the "war on terror" are you saying that war is over and had only one clear enemy? As the cold war was a war without a real enemy, but a war against a belief(communism), the war on terror isn't a war on a clear enemy, but a war on a collective of radicals with no clear objectives or cause. He therefore could not be a leader of a group that doesn't have a central core since there is no world-wide terror network. James Bond took those out in the 60s and 70s, the only ones that existed, the movie kind.

What did you guys think about White House Corespondent's Dinner?

I almost cried at points Seth was so funny. And Obama got in some good zingers as well. I think this will be a classic like the Colbert dinner.
