Poor president Bush! There was no way he could have known the war would be un-winnable. Except for listening to military advisors or even listening to what Dick Cheney said ten years ago. Expecting the President to be able to predict the future of current actions shouldn't be an unexpected capacity. It should be expected! Who else but the leader of the nation should have the best idea of what to do in any given situation? We should be electing geniuses that could anticipate a hurricane in New Orleans from a flap of a butterfly wing, instead we got Bush, who the only thing he was prepared for was the draft.
FUCKING SPOILER ALERT! Article gives away ending of Battlestar Galactica. Goddamn it! I mean that shit hasn't been concluded for more than a year or two. What the hell?
I bought Metroid Prime. I can't play it though, because it has a broken control scheme. It doesn't have dual analog move and freelook. What the fuck is up with that?
In the game of life, the best feeling in the world is winning. Beating somebody. If he was addicted to counter-strike I could sort of respect him because at least he could best most opponents. World of Warcraft is not a player vs player game. It might have player vs player elements, but it's not a strategy game where skill has any sense of establishing a pecking order. The game is all about the pointless grind which ANYONE could accomplish. So tell him that. Tell him his game is pointless and anyone could do what he does. You might want to even literally do that. Put together a team of 6 people to play 4 hours every day to show him that you can "accomplish" exactly what he does without throwing away your entire day. At some point he'll realize that he has to do what no one else can do better than him. That is his true purpose.
I notice mostly that when a student asks a question or has something to contribute to the class discussion it's usually something stupid. Is the face to face interaction really that helpful?
This is proof that nerds are no more clever than the vile hoi polloi. Can I once hear the word "balls" without being subjected to a strained pun that only serves to illustrate the joker's lack of intelligence?
Everybody gives Lars a hard time because of his comments on napster back in the day. Every other popular musician has not condemned pirates as brazenly as him, but I bet you they're all thinking it. It seems silly for the pirates to admire Eminem or someone that claims to not really care about piracy. He's beholden to his fans. Of course he doesn't want to piss them off.
Lars had the audacity of being honest and he's punished for it. It's his damn music. He, more than anyone, has the right to publicly proclaim piracy is immoral if he's so inclined to do so.
He's not evil like the liberals make him out to be. He's not going to break into your house and steal something from you to gain compensation from you because you stole his album. He thought the deal was "I write and perform music and the people pay me for it." If he feels that people aren't playing by the rules, he can call them out on it.
Think about it from his perspective. He has a job. He can afford to buy cds of stuff he likes. If you like Lar's music, you can't scrounge up twenty bucks like he does when he want's to buy the new Miley Cyrus cd? It's not going to break the bank. Feel free to disagree if you want, but he has the right to make his opinion public.
What you should have done is completely saturate your clothes in water and then wait to talk to the principal. Try to get the seats and carpet as wet as possible. Make sure you lean on the receptionist's counter and leave a big puddle. Of course you must act completely incredulous of the mess you are making. And your motivation if accused.
Alternately you could have replied to the principal, "Yes, I wouldn't want to be impolite to an upstanding gentleman such as yourself." And then be on your way.
I can't believe all the stupid shit I hear from the slashdot nerds on this incident. Call a lawyer. Punch her in the nose.
Have a hissy fit and call the ALCU.
To all the ALCU nerds, I applaud your dedication to the greater good. I just have no personal interest in being a hero.
What's the first thing a bank robber says to bystanders? Don't be hero. Heroes get shot.
Didn't anyone learn anything from Ender's Game? Actually I think Ender's Shadow is a bit more helpful. You gotta build
alliances. You gotta manipulate people. First you need to have a good, or at the very least, a neutral reputation. If you
have already caused a bunch of problems for everyone, and no one would be willing to help you in your endeavor to destroy the
teacher, then fuck it you lost, retreat and plan for your next encounter.
Your best weapons against enemies is ridicule and scorn. You have to make fun of enemies so that everyone can see how weak
and full of shit they are. You need to isolate your enemy. Make sure she doesn't have a friend to turn to, because you've
been busy making her seem foolish and stupid. You, as a young kid have an advantage, in that you have more leeway. You can be
more vicious, because you're a kid. Nobody will expect you to be completely moral. The teacher on the other hand is expected
to be the bigger man, so if you can just push her a little off her teacher ethics you can isolate her with less.
Your first task is to turn the students against her. This would be most effective, if and only if, you can make the case
that she is the only teacher who can't control her students. If the whole school hates every single teacher, the teachers
will gang up and you be unable to get any of the teachers to break rank. The next step is to get the rest of the teachers and
staff to turn on her. From what I can gather the teacher is this old lady who's been there too long, and has gone crazy with
power. The other teachers probably resent her for sucking at her job and taking their place in tenure. Remember the teacher
that had a bible on his desk? The administration turned on him so fucking fast it was hilarious.
It's all about manipulation. It's your job to make her seem unreasonable using humor and other people's prejudices and at
the same time make yourself seem completely reasonable. So let's imagine you were eating lunch at the school cafeteria and
you turn your back on your backpack for one second then turn around and you saw some person you don't know digging through
you bag. What would be the correct response? You say, very loudly so other people can hear, "Excuse me what the fuck do you
think you're doing!? Are you going through my bag? Are you looking for my wallet?" You then proceed to beat the living shit
out of him because nobody likes thieves. Now, obviously you can't beat the living shit out of an old lady who controls your
grades and might potentially have friends in the administration. Everyone would think you're a young punk and they'd send you
straight to juvi and ruin your life, because from their point of view, your life doesn't matter.
The correct response when the teacher went into your bag would have been "Did you just go through my bag? Are you feeling
alright? Maybe you should see a doctor because disregard for common social norms like not going through other people's stuff
can be an early indicator of dementia. You don't want people thinking your some old bag lady that's completely unaware of her
surroundings do you? There's this crazy woman at the supermarket that keeps asking me to accept Jesus as my savior. Finally I
just told her that I was Jesus and that I've come to take her to the rapture. And she believed me!"
Later after class, you approach her when you two are alone. You pretend to be contrite. I'm sorry I was rude earlier. I've
been so angry lately. But really, you shouldn't do that sort of thing, reaching into people's backpacks. Listen I'm willing
to not make a big deal out of it, if you just leave me alone.
The Beatles suck balls and are the most overrated band in the history of Rock and Roll. I look forward to the day that everybody who remembers them from their youth dies and I no longer have to hear how great they were.
And another thing. The Rolling Stones fucking rock harder than anyone ever, especially The Beatles. Question: Did The Beatles ever write a song about the Devil? No? Then shut the fuck up.
What they don't have bathrooms in Massachusetts? Give me a fucking break. If your dad was civilized he could have held it in for five fucking minutes to find a bathroom. People need to urinate a lot. That's why there's fucking bathrooms EVERYWHERE. Face it man, your dad is uncouth. And I'd much prefer that your dad be a registered sex offender than to step in a puddle of his urine. ASSHOLE.
I think it should be mandatory to publicly post your real name and address. Then trash talking kids would get their asses kicked, and online gaming would be a much more polite place.
All this is besides the point. MINORS SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED ON XBOX LIVE. Or PSN. Fuck Sony, you couldn't add that shit to your license agreement? You may only join if you're an adult?
Why have you allowed other game matching services like Live and Steam surpass Battle.net? Why haven't you added new features to Battle.net to remain competitive?
Do you feel guilty coaxing tens of thousands of players into playing your game with the essential game mechanic of "click on the monster until it dies"? Don't you think gamers would be better served by a game with some actual depth instead of make believe depth like "the longer you play the less clicks it takes to kill the same monster"?

Niggers are inferior. They lie, cheat, and steal. Everybody knows that.
I have a better idea. Why don't we just nuke Niggeria? That's exactly the stupid nigger attitude that makes them inferior.
You're such a fag!! A Tux tattoo? Why not tattoo "I'm a wimpy nerd" or your arm instead?
Do we really need around a spammer, a wife, and a three year old? No. Fuck them.
