Pirate_Arg You may not have been trying to tell her how she should be raising her son, but that is how she would have interpreted it.

This is my opinion as it gets rid of poor people and is opening up jobs, thereby lowering the unemployment rate. What do you think?

Pirate_Arg Why exactly am I getting the proverbial slap on the wrist here as well? I believe that I was quite clear when I stated that xenophobic attacks are bad. Just because I don't neccesarily know what is best for the country doesn't mean I shouldn't discuss my views...

Pirate_Arg Well, that would be part of stretching. In stretching you are generally trying to increase flexibility and lower the risk of injury or stiffness after you're finished exercising. Depending on how you stretch you will be stretching different muscles.

my baby was born on this Feb.29. that means he will have a real birthday every four years. of course, that means we will pay more attention when there is Feb.29. do you (or your friend's) birthday is on Feb.29? how do you enjoy...

birthday

Pirate_Arg That would cause a few problems when your little boy of 4 birthdays wants to go out drinking with his friends. Of course, he could use that as an excuse to throw a tantrum if his friends won't pay for his beer :P

Pirate_Arg Hellgate London is just like Diablo with full 3D and a completely different control scheme. You get experience, when you level up you can learn skills, you defeat hordes of undead and demonic minions, you grab as much loot as possible... in fact, most of the...

There was a young high school student who wrote that question to Billy Graham a few weeks ago. He is a Christian and has been made fun of at work (he works a summer job) for reading and studying his Bible and trying to live by it....

Pirate_Arg Religion does have power over people. Maybe not so much in modern times but the times when it was altered to promote control over people are the same sort of times that people were burned alive for saying that they don't believe in it. Even without the obvious...

What instrument do you play and how often do you practise? I play the trumpet and I'm currently getting ready for my gade 8 royal schools exam so I've been practising for about an hour and a half every day. It's hard work to...

Pirate_Arg Sounds like you have a lot of musical talent going for you. I have enough trouble trying to get myself to practise one instrument but it really does make a difference in the long term. It makes a difference in the short term too (having tired lips all the time...

Pirate_Arg Thanks. This is probably going to be my last trumpet exam. Since I'm not planning on going into music as a career (engineering for me) I'm not going to go for a diploma after this or anything. That being said, I just need to practise extra hard so that I can...

Does anyone remember the old arcade game Bubble Bobble? I was playing it recently on an arcade game emulator. It's an awesome game. Basically, you play the part of a bubble dragon and you have to kill all of the enemies to get to...

Pirate_Arg The whole way of killing was interesting because it was a two step thing instead of just shooting it and then it is dead. Hopefully co-op multiplayer story modes will make a comeback because it really does make everything more interesting. Thanks for the...

Pirate_Arg Yes, I was playing it on MAME oddly enough. I don't think I could find it if I looked for it, I haven't seen an oldschool arcade machine in ages. Thanks for the link to the site. I've always loved multiplayer co-op. Unfortunately, I don't have a...

The Death Note is a notebook, if you write someone's name in it, and hold their face in your mind, they will die. There are a bunch of rules about how to make them die etc, but basically once you have their name in the book and...

Pirate_Arg I read the manga after I watched the anime. The story line is almost exactly the same except for maybe the order of one or two events and the very end. I found that the anime managed to present the whole thing much more dramatically though because of the epic...

I'm sure there has been a time where everybody has gotten a message on their cellphone while they are busy doing something else and it wouldn't be appropriate to read the message. Maybe you are driving or even just working on...

Pirate_Arg The reading out loud thing could work. The idea came to me while I was driving out to meet a group of friends and suddenly I got a message. I had earlier said that if any of them needed a lift they just needed to let me know but I can't safely read a message...

Pirate_Arg You aren't that much older than me. What's a few years? And I'll be as pessimistic (or as realistic depending on the point of view) as I choose to be.

Pirate_Arg I have had a reply actually. Unfortunatly, it was overwhelmingly negative. Seems that I can't read people. I mean, I knew that I couldn't read people but it seems that I'm even worse at it than I thought. Unless she was saying what she thought was appropriate...

Pirate_Arg I wish I wasn't such a bad procrastinator. If I had said something more than a year ago when I met her (the thought did cross my mind...) then things probably would have turned out completely differently. Unfortunately, there is no real point in living with...

Pirate_Arg I don't really see everything in life as new. In fact, most things seem a bit old and mundane while the things that don't fall into that category are more scary than good and fresh. So life isn't too friendly at the moment and I'm feeling a bit overworked and...

Pirate_Arg Thanks. I agree that I should have done it face to face but for some reason I find myself unable to start that sort of conversation. It seems so simple but I tend to overthing the whole thing. At least I can think through exactly what I'm saying when I do it...
