lol, you speak as if you are raising an army, I am a brilliant tactitian for two reasons, i can bluff, read my opponents' eyes for any emotion that will give their next move away, and can formulate 12 plans at once and still modify my plan while my opponent makes a surprise move.
hell, I have a dwarven army in D&D chainmail, most people put their fastest, best ranged attackers in when they see my dwarves, but my army has a ton of fast troops, and a large ammount of ranged troops, most people don't expect that.
Never defeated.
I'd like to see you guys survive in your BACK YARD for a week.
(*claps*)
I disagree in one area: Not making jokes about it. I think you should be able to joke about anything, hello? If you can't cope with it and have it, then you aren't going to live long anyway, thw only way to live life right os to accept it and move on. Personally, I think HIV/AIDS and cancer are antibodys sent out by earth. who has been continually raped by money-hungry male humans, throuought time, has there been any specie that has screwed the earth more than us? NO. We have been the shortest lived specie on the planet, and we have screwed it up the most. we are the rapists of a once-great planet, and whatever disease we get from it, is properly served. Don't even defend yourself, if you are typing right now, as I am, you are guilty, as we all are. and syphillis was from sheep, not monkeys, and syphillis is spread through sex only, (I think) think about it, or don't. if you don't think joking about something so serious is right, just picture this: Porky pig raping Elmer Fudd, Hell, it makes me laugh, if you don't even really picture it, it is funnier, just think about it. I was on the floor when I first thopugh of it. | |
Oh, I think people can and should joke about anything. I thought that long before I ever heard of that famous visual aid. You should see my family at a funeral. You'd be able to spot us because everyone's glaring at us for snickering. Laughter is how we cope with death. It's also how we cope with weather, packing foam, and canned beverages.
Not everyone should joke about everything, though. George Carlin can get away with joking about death and poverty and violence and disease. He's got the skill for it. There's a difference between joking about poverty and saying "Ha ha your family's po, Kenny!" It's not precisely joking about AIDS that I object to... it's treating the subject lightly. Scoobert wasn't so much joking as making an offhand comment, a jest more so than a joke. So by all means, joke about deadly diseases if you can. Joke about them, particularly, if you need to. I worked with AIDS patients all summer one year, and found that many of them couldn't get through a day without a joke about their condition. But what Scoobert said... first of all, he wasn't joking about AIDS so much as he was joking about AIDS victims, and second of all, it wasn't much of a joke at all. Trying to joke about a taboo subject and failing is much, much worse than simply avoiding the taboo. That said, I'm backing slowly out of this BS session and not making eye contact... you macho manly wrestlers, survivalists, and tacticitians can hash this out between yourselves. | |
Interesting, and just what was the name of the survival course? I don't quite recall it being legal to drop kids in the woods with a few rations and the kids having no true idea of what they should do. Oh wait, I think I know this place now, yes, camp BS.

Actually, it IS legal, my parents had to sign a contract, I WANTED to do it, they are based in Kansas, closer to manhattan kansas, farther west though,and the name of the camp was: Kansas survival training, lol, original, but I DID do this, and it was a full week. There were contracts involved, and no one got hurt :P!

Spanning such diverse locales as China, Brazil, Kuwait, and major U.S. and European sites, among others, Baraka captures not only the harmony, but the calamity that humans and nature have visited upon the earth." It's a beautiful movie(IMO), and I recommend it to anyone whose into this kind of thing. Went and bought it the same day my brother told me about it(He had seen it in Italy) Best seen on a nice big screen, with great sound, of course! Alathon\\ | |
never heard of it... I actually came to this realization about... six years ago, in third grade, I wasn't a very happy child, i didn't put it into those words specifically, I actually put this into concise wording about 2 years ago

wish they bring the old rule back, where if you got caught fighting you had to box at the end of the day with everyone watching and 2 rounds. oh well britian has real rings dotted around and my mate goes to one, just i'm too weak. last about 10 seconds.

but yes, maybe saying I was a strong link to the species was extreme, but i never said i had those diseases, I said they were all therapist diagnosed, to keep my parents paying for therapy, and medicine, all for money.
it's sad when america's motto becomes 'screw the kids and give them some speed their parents will pay for it'
