  1. When a kid attacks you, and you break his nose, you get suspended. What the hell is wrong with school policy here?

      I'm generally not opposed to your actions. Well, maybe 10-20 extra punches was excessive, but if someone opens that door, they get what they get.

      I'm just commenting in the post-fight, reflective stage, and trying to keep it honest.

      10-20 punches was excessive. I didn't count, and it probably wasn't that many, but it was definitely 2-3 strong punches more then was required. He was already on the ground and I was on top.

  2. I think it's perfectly okay to think of some women as inferior. Because it's also perfectly okay to think of some men as inferior.

      I can get behind ranking actions. Ranking the worth of people themselves is something I think is best left to God. Nothing good has ever come from walking down that particular path.

      I presume you ment "can't get behind" in which case I agree. It is tuff sometimes not to rank an evil, utter moron but I think we have to take it at all cost because of the well known, horrible consequences which history is filled with.

      I'd say that the parents are smart in this case. You could be making return. But you could also not be making returns.

      If I could make millions, I'm sure they'd let me.

      I just want to increase my money a bit over the next few years. Obviously, I was joking about getting 25% returns.

    4. Lord Antares

      Lord Antares

      Yes, but you also might not increase money. It's like saying ''I'm going to the casino to earn some money''.

  5. The point of war is not to die for your country. It's to make the noob on the other side die for his.

  6. Why is it that some people are always like "I wish i lived in the 1800s, where it was so much simpler." So stupid.

      Why is it that some people think the way things are now is always better than things were in the past?

    3. Raider5678

      Raider5678

      Well for one, I like space. So if I liked in the past I wouldn't get to watch us progress. Medicine was also awful back then, and the population remained low because so many people died from disease and infections.

      I don't hate you, Raider5678, but you aren't the majority of modern people to which I referred of. I also hate ancients as well like the Catholics of olde who I hate too. Basically, I hate human society in general.

      And being able to talk online is not the norm for me, on facebook most people refuse to respond to my messages. However, on internet forums, due to a sense of anonymity, people are more open and civilized.

      So sorry to hear this, Raider. I didn't know him, but I know he was proud of you. Enormous loss, my heart goes out to you.

    3. Raider5678

      Raider5678

      Thank you.

      He has several memorials dedicated to him actually. He was a missionary and died when he went over to Africa to build a women's refuge. So he has a memorial there. He spent 3 months in Brazil once building homes for those in need, and he has a memorial at the school he worked at here in the USA. I attended the last funeral just a few hours ago.

      I personally haven't noticed anyone making allowances. Age is irrelevant to the discussion. One is wrong both at age 14 and age 40. If you have noticed people making allowances, I disagree with their methodology.

    3. Raider5678

      Raider5678

      Frankly, so do I. If I'm being immature tell me so. Zapatos did and there's nothing wrong with it.

      One piece of advice: Changing your age to 26 won't NECESSARILY impact the results that much. You might still get told that you have a lot to live through.

  11. If you're a teacher, don't say "Good job girls" to the female class. One might identify as a boy and you'll be charged. Seriously. Happened.

      Yeah, the teacher was not following the school's expectations and was suspended. Happens all the time in schools. That is a far cry from the misleading and typically biased view of events we've come to see from so many these days. Frankly I'm disgusted by the lack of character found in so many who choose to lie to us like this.

    3. Raider5678

      Raider5678

      From what I got out of it it was a single incidence. And I know even I've had slips on the tongues. Additionally, he said he immediately apologized. However, when interrogated on his believes he confessed he was a Christian and a pastor, and shortly after suspended.

    4. Raider5678

      Raider5678

      So yeah. I guess I misinterpreted it.

      It is an interesting thought experiment to find a book which is a disappointment compared to the Movie/TV series

    4. Outrider

      Outrider

      Yeah I agree the books are always better but I don't have the time to read the 8 or 9 books in the expanse series right now so I'll stick to the show. Big Stephen King fan here and I recommend the gunslinger series. It's much more sci-fi than horror. The first movie comes in August. I have yet to see an even decent SK adaption so I am holding my breath.

  14. What is it about Geometry that people find so hard? Basic knowledge of parallel angles and verticle etc from BASIC geometry pretty much lets you do the whole thing easily.

      If you are unhappy, there is no reason to stay in your current job.

    3. Raider5678

      Raider5678

      I have a path laid out. A very high paying job that I got after some crazy events unfolded that somehow landed me in front of a CEO of a multi-million dollar company. We were just talking though. Either way, for some incredibly weird reason, he decided that giving a kid an extremely high paying internship with the promise of a job after high school seemed like a good idea. So I accomplished what I had wanted to do most of my life: Get a nice, easy, high-paying job(internship currently). I do not plan on quitting my job right now. I plan on learning different stuff and attempt to jump to a different job.

    4. Lord Antares

      Lord Antares

      How did that happen? Trust me, you'll be happier in that job than any other you would acquire ''legitimatly''. Don't be too quick to judge things. There is no reason you can't succeed outside of your job.
