Sometimes Hi is the start of something deeper. Just be yourself and express how you feel when you think she is ready for it. You cannot rush a connection even if you knew her all your life. Be patient and let her know how you feel about her. Just remember that nothing in life is certain but it is better to do so than to not.

Notice I said "everyone".  Why SHOULD everyone be entitled to free education after high school, and why should my pocket be picked for more and more taxes to give EVERYONE a free education?

:bow:

I didn't say that education should be free but it isn't worth as much if it is taught mainly by a staff consisting of your peers. If I pay for a course taught by a professor then it should match the price. It is ridiculous to pay for something in full, then get something of half that value.

The cost should match the product. If not then I'd take my educational dollar elsewhere. Alot of professors out there like to condition their students that they owe them something but in reality it is the other way around.

Trends I've noticed in education (feel free to add to this list):

1. Tuition raises.

2. GPA and qualifications for scholarships are absurdly higher.

3. Used textbooks are getting phased out and people are going to be forced into buying new. (hmmm where have I seen this? oh yes, in gaming.)

4. Students are getting abused more into doing free university labor for "experience."

5. Loan interest rates have raised from 3% to 7% from what I've seen before. It's probably more like 10+% now.

6. Grant qualifications are insanely stupid and I believe they are attempting to do away with people who get more than one by making it excruciatingly limited to a certain group.

7. Housing costs anywhere near the campus is inflated due to exploitation of where the land is located. In Tallahassee, FL there are more apartments than there are students in the population of the city.

8. And since the job market sucks in general here in the States, the ratio of debt to income is greater.

9. Credit debt is higher and credit card companies even set up booths so that students can apply. The best people to put in credit debt are late adolescents who are in college.

Please edit/modify/add/subtract/whatever to this list. Education (at least in the states) is going down the shitter. People are finding ways to attain a higher income by alternatives to college and to be honest, are better off than a majority of people I know. I was lucky enough to have low debt and my degree. Most of my friends are doing horrible and even found better opportunities in the military.

If you download potentially copyrighted software, videos or music, your Internet service provider (ISP) has been watching, and they’re coming for you.

Specifically, they’re coming for you on Thursday, July 1.

That’s the date when the nation’s largest ISPs will all voluntarily implement a new anti-piracy plan that will engage network operators in the largest digital spying scheme in history, and see some users’ bandwidth completely cut off until they sign an agreement saying they will not download copyrighted materials.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-31001_3-57397452-261/riaa-chief-isps-to-start-policing-copyright-by-july-1/?tag=mncol;topStories

Fucking HELL, I don't pirate software or music, but what if they think that by downloading MUGEN content we're violating copyright laws?

You forgot to mention emulators, mods, etc. The kind of things that are grey area but might get flagged. Honestly I seriously doubt anything good for companies would come of this. As said by Orochi Gill, they need to attack the hosters and not their own consumers.  I doubt AT&T, Verison, Comcast, etc. are so tight knit that they would sacrifice their own consumers for each other. Besides it's not like everyone is getting their services in bulk, they specifically price their services to make the most money they can while not over inflating the cost. Restricting access to something someone paid for; or cracking down on something like mugen, emulators, roms, mods, etc. is stupidity. What they need to do is make it more difficult for people to obtain their respective properties by specific hardware and software configuration which have their own code language which is read by their own software. It sounds like alot but it can help against piracy.

Everything from here on out should be their responsibility, not ours. Better to make it harder for a theif than to make it harder for everyone.

I like how in the online experience image how they are marketing the first bullet as something new. It's a rule, not an exception.

oh boy another death penalty debate

Isn't a debate what we usually get when it is prompted? Half the time I anticipate coming here and there is one on at least every other thread.

lol  ^^   you dont want to know whats on GBK`s hdds


@
some you may want to try/consider:

1. Urban Reign (fucking difficult brawler using the tekken engine)

Urban Reign wasnt difficult :P

Alot of people noted back then about the unfairness of getting beat down while you're getting slammed to only end up getting ghetto stomped by like 4+ guys. It's like an orgy of pain. I used to like that of urban reign, maybe I'm a sadist but what most people called hard I used to call it fun. And you're right I don't think it's hard but for some odd reason people that the time said it was. Go fig.

Also your floor is awesome is that hard wood panel or is hard wood tile

Edit: forgot to say I was generalizing about when I made the list. God I suck at this explaining thing.

If it is self defense then they shouldn't be too harsh on them. I don't see why a judge would give two lives for the cost of one if there isn't any precedence for it.

It's almost a sarcastic smile, don't you think? Almost like as if she is telling me that if I fuck with her, she'll kill me and rape the body.

I still don't understand the whole point of this thread than to promote some bullshit forum consisting of the butthurt and the banned.

Am I correct on this assumption?

1. Urban Reign (fucking difficult brawler using the tekken engine)
2. Def Jam (I prefer NY but people also liked Vendetta. I hat rap but like this game)
3. Warriors Series (such as Dynasty, Samurai, Orochi)
4. Virtura fighter 4 (if you're a fan)
5. Soul Calibur 4 (if you enjoy the additional modes along with the staple.)

Collections such as sega, metal slug and the like can add for variety.

Pass that advice onto every other fandom, see how well that works out.

Sadly, there isn't much that can be done in this department. I didn't come up with the nickname for the fandom, and don't see myself trying to fix a problem that involves a possibly small portion of the entire fandom.

I see, I guess it is the fanatics are what make the fandom itself look bad. It makes sense. I'd rather hang around someone with your way of thinking than of theirs.

I don't understand why Bronies have this gay rights stance about their fandom. Please explain this shit to me. So you like a tv show...who doesn't? Alot of the times there are naysayers about a show that one person likes. If it defines who you are then you have no identity beyond liking a show.

Hopefully this is a hiatus rather than a quit altogether. Life comes first and when you can just do stuff when you feel like it. Just know that what you've done thus far has been your personal imprint and will be remembered. Take care of yourself and I hope to hear from you soon.

Nobody has to come out of the fucking closet about a fucking TV show. What a fucking idiot to compare his obsession to ACTUAL struggles of oppressed peoples. Fuck him.

There go your words.

Furries have been doing this shit too. Apparently when people don't care about what you like, you're oppressed.

I can see Broniedom becoming a religion in 2-3 years time (if the fad hasn't died out by then)

I want to see that happen. So that atheists and bronies can have fun with each other. It'd be hilarious.
