Funny you mention that. I have an appointment to get a molar pulled tomorrow morning. — Noah Te Stroete

I am half way through 8 appointments that I should have gone to 6 years ago when it was 3 appointments for emergency work to be done.

I paid the dentist up front so I have to go now or lose the money. :lol:

Haha! You sound cool. — Noah Te Stroete

That reminds me of what the doctor who sewed up my back said. "You don't have to act cool around here, I know this fucking well hurts" He would not believe that I could not feel a thing. I have always had weird reactions to anesthetics, they either work too well or not at all. Hence my fear terror of dentists.

How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? — S

But pinheads do!! :wink:

I never felt more alive than when I got a fistful of rings in the eye or the time someone smashed a beer glass in my face. I went off both times. — Noah Te Stroete

Ahh, the good old days. :cool:
Busted and scarred lips, nose, eye brows and knuckles. A 2x4 on the back of the head, a bottle on the back and a boot in the balls. And I never came out the loser. Except when they ripped my new suit, that made me cry.
Manchester in the 60/70's was the place to be.

Cowardly, silent absentee gods are not worthy gods. — Gnostic Christian Bishop

Before anyone can make these claims, they must prove the existence of these gods.

Otherwise they are giving credence to the believers' ideas they are trying to demolish.

If you were really interested in seeing men fighting them you should start a broad sword fighting club and let them whack away at each other.

Seriously, how can anyone think it is fun and worth paying to see 2 men clobber each other in a ring and then cry blue murder about barbaric behaviour when they do the same thing in front of the pub?

Any kind of sport is OK for physical fitness but to put 2 guys in a ring to beat the shit out of each other for money is on the same level as dog fights.

Come on BC, there has got to be more options than that.

#1 applies more to cats than dogs.
#2 compared to or in contrast to their owners?
#3 my dogs don't like plastic stuff, but they will tear anything made of wood and beer cans to pieces.

What about;
My dog is as smart as I have taught him to be. Or as stupid.
My dog does things that I cannot explain, he must have figured them out by himself.

One of my dogs, mostly German shepherd, spend most of her time plotting a new escape. She has search out every weak part of the fence to make holes. She has systematically dug around the base of the fence to find a place to dig her tunnel. She has done running jump tests on every section of the fence to find places where it will support her when she climbs it. She never tries to escape when someone is at home.

Does anyone want to adopt her?

:cry:

Cute and nice. — S

The question is about you, not what that dead cat in your basement used to be like.

I didn't write any positive personality traits not because I don't want to toot my horn, but because I have a hard time seeing the positive in me. I'm sure I do have some positive traits, I just can't identify them right now. — Purple Pond

You are honest.

No takers? I guess I was mistaken in thinking people would open up about their personality to online strangers. Oh, well. — Purple Pond

Not many can be objectively honest about themselves, if they were they would probably not like themselves very much.

I doubt that I would call myself obsessed, dedicated maybe to getting things done.

I have given up anxiety and become a Murphiest. If it is going to happen it will, at the wrong moment.

I got over sensibility as well. I don't give a shit now what anyone says.

I can still see yesterdays beer can sitting on my desk, but it is stopping some papers I use for taking notes and planning being blown away by the fan that got stuck in one place about a month ago and is waiting to be repaired, when I can find the plan I made to fix things around the house. So I guess I could call myself organized chaos.

Apart from that I am a happy, loving guy that gets along with most people. :cool:

One question really. Why do you forsake me? — Hanover

She did not forsake, she avoiding you! :smirk:

I don't have as much free time as I would like right now so I don't come as often either. I should make more of an effort, I miss the company. :smile:

I suppose it will be a big joke when one of your kids comes home from school asking why all of his classmates were laughing at your naked ass on the internet. :yikes:

If you can talk your way out of that one and then feel free to post what ever you want. :up:

You will be sorry and come back. Take my word for it. :brow:

Better pain killers maybe.

The perfect cup of tea.

A burger that actually looks like the one in the commercial.

Extinct alien race resurrection.

I'll show up more often then. — Michael

:scream: :worry:

:snicker: :smirk:

Nice to see you around again, this place was getting short of pretty faces. :wink:

Lawful Neutral Human Sorcerer (8th Level)


Ability Scores:
Strength- 13
Dexterity- 14
Constitution- 12
Intelligence- 12
Wisdom- 12
Charisma- 12

Alignment:
Lawful Neutral- A lawful neutral character acts as law, tradition, or a personal code directs him. Order and organization are paramount to him. He may believe in personal order and live by a code or standard, or he may believe in order for all and favor a strong, organized government. Lawful neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you are reliable and honorable without being a zealot. However, lawful neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it seeks to eliminate all freedom, choice, and diversity in society.

Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.

Class:
Sorcerers- Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. Charisma is very important for sorcerers; the higher their value in this ability, the higher the spell level they can cast.

But I will make an attempt to lower my game...so as to be at a level with the likes of you. — Frank Apisa

Thank you. :roll: I think?

If only you people would learn a second language.

Translation:

"That water is fucking cold. So will you please piss of because I don't want you to see me when I come out of the water."

I think he is referring to the effect the cold has on men's private parts.

What defines a good philosopher and how one can be a good philosopher? — John Pingo

Try naming one and we can continue from there. If you find a good one you just follow his example.

Or you can try to figure things out yourself and become one.

Why do you think this is a paradox?

My question is whether this social convention of never uttering the N-word is a reasonable act of respect or whether it's simply a politically imposed rule that can be used to divide and destroy? — Hanover

If the word is to become a thing of the past that is unknown to the present then everybody would have to stop using it. The same people that it was meant to refer to use it all the time, they just don't want to be called it by other groups.
The same has happened to nearly all of the smaller groups that had been named by the majority in some derogatory way. A couple of gays I know still call each other queers. Nearly all groups have names that they use among themselves that has been used by others as insults at some time. Talking to some nurses a while ago( male and female) they happily called each other butt wipers. But when a smart-ass doctor used the name they were ready to lynch him.

Over time people will start to use the now acceptable words that refer to these groups as insults and then they will also become unacceptable.

If not using the words was a reasonable act of courtesy or respect then there would have to be respect for the persons being referred to. The only way that is going to happen is when everyone is considered equal to everyone else. Do you think that will ever happen.
If it is a politically imposed rule, I doubt that the intention is to divide and destroy, more along the lines of sucking up to possible new voters by the ruling or wanting to rule parties.

The Welsh, on the other hand, fuck sheep. — Hanover

I thought it was the Australians that were the sheep shaggers. :joke:

Spelling. Democratic for demographic. I blame the spell checker. It's getting too aggressive at changing the word, with often absurd results. So much for the robotics revelation revolution. See? — Bitter Crank

I had guessed that, but wanted to make sure.

And can we please stop using race as an all purpose term for difference we are going to disapprove of? — Bitter Crank

I would love to do that, but not many people would understand the difference. And telling them that they are being religionists might not work. If you want to change how people refer to other groups of people as races then you will have a lot of work to do.

There are only four races that don't exist -- white, black, yellow, and red. If you don't like yellow people as a group, you're racist, maybe. — Bitter Crank

How can you be a racist for disliking a group of people that don't exist as a race? :worry:

The only race I don't get along with are idiots, the rest of them I am fine with.

If you don't like Welsh people, that's quite sensible. — Bitter Crank

That sounds racist, or is the another name for it?

Probably not the democratic they’re attempting to appeal to, I assume. — praxis

I doubt that there will be very many Muslim men happy about the faithless unclean ogling their females. I cannot see how that could be counted as "Showcasing in a positive light" or make the poor women's lives easier. I seriously doubt that many of the men are as liberal as that woman's family are.

The Muslim faith is not a race. — praxis

So shall we call it faithism then instead of racism? Most Of the people that don't like the Muslims see them as another race, because most of them are.

Sports Illustrated announced that they’ll be featuring a model wearing a hijab and burkini in this years swimsuit issue. — praxis

Very confusing. I really can't imagine a lot of Muslim men lining up to buy it though. Unless they are a bunch of hypocrites.
Supposedly Muslim women are not supposed to wear clothes that demark the shape of the body. So how does SI think this will help race relations? I think it might make a lot of men interested in finding out what is under those hijabs, then there will be problems.

I've been single for almost 10 years, I'm 24 now. — Alan

? Say what?

How could a 14 year old kid be considered as anything but single, you don't believe in child marriages do you?

I still feel bad about it all. — orcestra

You had read something he had not. If he was supposed to be the teacher, then he should have done the research and read about it before assigning it. Then he would have known it was not original.

I don't think you should feel bad about him not doing his job properly.

I'm not a teacher in an official capacity. Nor do I follow rules, unless I feel like it. So I'll give that a reply 0.5 out of 10, because I think maybe I was too generous last time. — S

You missed it. LIFE not LIVE.

O/100 as a teacher.

S, considering the fact that you managed to squeeze six pages out of this in a matter of hours, I'd like to hire you to help me sell holy water to the Evangelicals. Hanover's going to do the lawyering for us. — Baden

Excellent idea. For that kind of work you really do need a good bullshit artist. Ad he is one of the best.

Generous, I'd say. — jamalrob

Another one suffering from inferiority complex and literary deficiency. :worry:

1/10. — S

Jealousy will get you nowhere in live. And You are not even supposed to grade peoples work because you are not even a teacher.

Dream of the bomb and its possibility, it is very soothing. — Merkwurdichliebe

No thank you, I will let S dream about bums sorry bombs. He does seem to like dropping them.

Well ladies and gentlemen, you too S, it is time for me to go to bed.
I shall return on the morrow.

Bugs bunny never cared about how far he push it, — Merkwurdichliebe

That is why rabbits have so many kids.

Thy is pushing it! — Wallows

Be careful, he might take that to be a sexual reference.

No you need good psychedelics to Wallows in the strict sense. — Merkwurdichliebe

I think you missed something, again. :smirk:
