well my exam results come in two days, and if I failed my maths paper, a distinct possibility, then I might have jeopardized half my degree...

I will pray for you. Oh wait, all that does is attempt alter the natural course of things in your favor. So, with that said, I will just hope for the best. Good luck.

First post for me by the way. I've been reading for some time though. I really like this forum.

As your brother, and a member of this forum, I would like to be the first to welcome you to posting, although I know that you've been reading for a while.

You should go into the introductions forum and write a formal introduction. I'm sure all the members would like to know a bit about you.

And I look forward to reading what you have to say on here since we both know you are quite a bit smarter than I. :bananacolor:

You were my greatest mistake, I fell in love with your sin
Your littlest sin.

Wow, this post is so gay.
Oooo, this wii broke; it's so gay.
Jess broke up with Jesse: that's so gay!
My mom is gay, she made me wash the dishes dude.


I hate it when people flaunt the word gay like it's a synonym for terrible, stupid, wrong, etc.... My friends do it in most of our conversations. Like the one I had several minutes ago.

I think I'll pray for them, so they can see the light.

Dude, both praying and light are gay. ;)

Good point though. It's kind of the same as using retarded or other such words, it just makes the users of those words seem that much less intelligent.

I use both gay and retarded as synonyms for bad on occasion but I A.) just don't give much of a shit about being PC and B.) as I stated in a thread awhile ago words only have as much power as you give them (and i don't give them much).

God is a cake, and we all know what the cake is.

Oh, I can add another thing that's on my mind: stop telling me not believing in a god is ignorant.

Yes, I have friends that tell me I'm ignorant. >_>
"Gays are fags" "There's a god; have you ever read the damn bible?" "You don't think Jesus walked this earth? Wow. You really are an idiot"

Some quotes from my buddies. Just to name a few.
All were said yesterday when I was hanging out at the mall with them. First it started with gays, then moved onto religion.

Obviously I'm in the wrong here. I'd better go buy a crucifix and start persecuting the heathens if I want to be cool.  :|

I am deeply honored to the subject of your first post.

Depending on which way you look at it, I have good/bad news.

Quote from: "my email"Your provisional grade for the course MATH108-09S1 (C) is C+ .

If you have not already done so, we would encourage you to enrol
in MATH109-09S2 (C) for the second semester.

OK, C+ isn't a brilliant grade, but it was a really hard course that made me :shake: and I need it and the follow-on course for my statistics major, so I am :bananacolor:

Oh man, this brings back a painful memory or two  :verysad:

I've had my parents laugh at me and think that my Atheism is just a 'Fad' I picked up on the internet because I found the definition for it online. I've also had former friends laugh at me and say "You are joking" not in that questionable way, but in the more "I don't believe you, thanks for the laugh" way. People around here still use the word Gay as a replacement for stupid and as an insult but me and a bunch of my gay friends also use it so my opinion on that one is a bit odd.

But those guys don't sound like friends to me. I'd politly remind them that there are all kinds of people on this Earth and If they can't be nice and respect that you're different then I wouldn't hang around them much.

The wife got mad at me this morning because I was tweeting to another woman (the editor of the video game website I wrote for; she was asking if I'd still be interested in writing for them) and ignoring her (she sent me a Direct Message which normally gets forwarded to my phone, but for some reason that stopped working; wasn't getting my RTM reminders, either) when I didn't see her online at all and didn't know she was trying to get a hold of me.  :typehappy:

I'm thinking that it's very easy to think you're open minded - when in fact you're only listening for what supports your already entrenched opinion.  That sadly enough, some people cannot, will not be reached through their own mental barriers.  That religious beliefs are the sort of protecting walls that form most easily and firmly around the most desperate, the ones with nowhere - no one else to turn to.  One of the more tragic facts of religious conversion.  

Strike pre-emptively: love someone.

I was watching Torchwood: Children of Earth last night with the family and had the laptop with me so I could chat to some online BFFs who also fangirl over the series while we watched it. During last night's episode I was raging over the fact that the humans were being very uncooperative and that they should just give the 456 the 10% of Earth's children. The parents and online mates instantly went 'WAT? WHY? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?' to which I shrugged and went 'Give up a few hundred thousand to save a few Billion'. When I told this to another friend who isn't into Torchwood he was like 'Lol there you go with your Ozmandayus like ideas again, Hat'.

That's the second time I've been compared to Ozmandayus this year, the first time during the whole Swine Flu outbreak. In short I jokingly told the same mate that it was like the start of a lot of Zombie movies, and said to ship all the ill to Mexico, seal off Mexico, forget about Mexico and treat the not too bad ones here.

I giggled. I dunno why, but I do. I don't even like Ozmandayus.

Mum also told me not to go into Politics because she's afraid of what I would do in situations like those.

Tempted to go into Politics now, just for the lols.

Oh, I love Watchmen. Alan Moore is a fucking genius.

Also, Ozy was right -- also, Rorschach was right -- also, Manhattan was right. That's what I loved about Watchmen, they were all right even though they ran in completely opposite directions.

On a side note I was playing pokemon with a 12 year old who caught me with my gameboy on the bus. He wiped through 5 of my Pokemon and I had only knocked out two of his. I was down to my Beedrill who TORE THE FUCKING PLACE UP! FUCK YEAH BEEDRILL!

Man I was so happy I didn't lose at pokemon to a 12 year old. I even gave my Beedrill a proper name as its reward: Buzzbot.
