I'm 65% pure, but the validity of the test was lessened by my standards when I read "57% had sex."  Either the whole test is crap, or 60% were under the age of 18.

No, you can't.  You need your picture to be hosted on the web.  If it's on your hard drive, no one has access to it.  Other sites allow you to do it that way because they upload your image to their site and host it from there.

You need a ?70x70 pixel image uploaded somewhere, then you refer to it by the web address, the "http://" you were talking about.

My University has an awesome super-fast network that connects me at the fastest speed that the internet and my hardware will allow me, which is never over 1,000kbs. They have a 10gbs backbone though.

At my Father's I get around 500kbs max.

At my Mom's (in a town of 800 people haha) the DSL line gets 100kbs max. We used to only have dial-up there, but DSL had been available since 2000.  Demand that your ISP's get with the times!

Powerpoint is the secret to success in college presentations too, if you can use it well.  In my engineering class we were told to bring transparencies in to detail our missile designs and explain them to the class.  The lecture hall had two projectors and screens so I used them both and made models on blender, the other guys drew on the transparencies with markers!

Sorry for my assumption and bluntness.. but when you said you had no artistic ability at all and begged for help.. then changed your plot and begged for help again.. it really looked like you were just wanting someone to draw everything for you. My apologies.

In the town where I grew up a couple of years ago we had a German foreign exchange student.  The first time a cold front came through in the fall it was ~50 degrees and people were wearing coats and stuff.. the German guy was wearing a short sleeved shirt and telling everybody, "Eez not cowld!"

I kept getting a funny picture of him in my head walking around in his underpants telling people that when we got our first snow...
#1407
It snowed here last night, only an inch.  It snows four times a year max in Oklahoma, but in the spring there are at least 50 tornados in the state.  Between the earthquakes and the hurricanes you have tornados.  Before the cold front came through and it snowed it was so warm I was out skating in a t-shirt at 3am.. then suddenly it was sleeting and freezing cold winds made me go inside.  I don't like the winter much either, but it's better than tornado season and then 105 degree summers.

Well, had you paid more attention to the test you took to register or perhaps the posts that scream READ ME at the top of each forum, you would realize something very important to understanding why people aren't responding to this post.  People don't want to make your game for you.  In the game I am currently making, 75% of my time is going to be in making the graphics.  I don't want to do 75% of someone elses game. Neither does anyone else here. Sorry.

Err, I called you ignorant so I think it justified to curse at me. No apologies from you needed.

I'm a noob.. hehe, just because it doesn't say transferred from eZboard doesn't mean I've never been here. http://pub6.ezboard.com/bdosuserforums.showLocalUserPublicProfile?login=shbazjinkens

I have strong feelings about anything where I feel someone is not properly imagining both sides of a situation and giving flak to entire races for it. I know a lot of Arabians, Muslims, and other minority groups.. my University is flooded with them. My TA in Chemistry is Lebanese. The man who will direct my studies in alternative energies is a devout Muslim and from India. There's a foreign kid sitting two seats away from me in the library right now who is probably an Arab. I'm shutting up and I don't want to talk about it anymore because you obviously aren't going to change your predjudism. I've talked to a lot of these people, and I know what the world looks like through their eyes, they've told me.

When did I say I hate Jews, fuck them?  You're making it look like I hate them because I understand their opposing side, and that's stupid. Even though I still know you're wrong you're being too ignorant, I'm not arguing with you anymore.
#1411
QuotePalestinians might not be able to fight with honourable methods, but unlike Israelis, their cause is just.

Basically, this is my point.  The Palistineans wouldn't have the goal of terminating the Jewish race if the Jewish race weren't taking their home.

You don't understand my points, because I didn't say Bush said the sea of blood stuff, I said he makes the same type of propaganda in different ways.  It is a good time to stop. This is way too long.

Shbazjenkins:

That´s what I call supporting the terrorism.

I'm giving you the reason why there is terrorism, not supporting it. You keep pretending I'm in favor of it, but I'm just pointing out that they had good reason to be mad. Their anger is given out in a different way than ours.

QuoteNo! I told that they had the possibility to remain in their lands in 1949, before all the oppresion and all the stuff

You totally missed my analogy, apparently.  You don't want your country to be flooded with foreigners, taken over, and then given the option to live with equal rights under the foreigners that have overthrown your government... Or do you not mind if that happens to you because you would appreciate the change that a totally different culture (and religion) might bring?

QuoteAnd I can´t really response to many of the other points, because I don´t really understand you... I say to you that the Jordans are the country that more Palestinians have killed and you say that that has something to see with an independence fight?

You totally didn't catch my point again.  I'm not justifying their actions.  I'm pointing out that you think that this isn't an independence fight only because of the terrorism.  Palestineans getting killed by Jordaneans has no relevance in whether or not they are fighting for their freedom from Israel.. if it does I'd love you to kindly explain it to me. The "sea of blood" crap is just their more graphic term for the same stuff Bush feeds the US. It's propaganda to get their people to unite against their enemy that has taken their lands against their will.

You're telling me I support terrorism because I'm pointing out why there is terrorism. Please re-read my last post and try to understand it better. Your opinions are jumbled and slightly mis-interpreted.  I'm only trying to clarify because most non-muslims aren't even going to attempt to put theirselves in a Palestineans shoes and imagine why they are going to be terrorists. The religious jihad stuff is just a way to gain more followers. The people behind it all are trying to get their lands back, I don't think they really feel as swayed by their religion as the fact that their country was taken from them against their will.

EDIT

Oh crap, I finish my long post and you post this?

QuoteAnd YES! the matter that the palestinians left their homes in 1949 expecting to return after the Jewish massacre does care, because shows that the "good boys palestinian little angels" wanted the Jewish killed before the occupation.

Or maybe they didn't want to be accidentally murdered by their allies in the ensuing war by remaining in their homes on the battlefield?  Why in the holy shit are you calling them little angels?  For the last friggin time, I'm not calling them perfect.  They're fighting for their independence with all of the means that they can, and TERRORISM IS BAD.  Did you read it that time?  Yes, I think terrorism is bad too.

QuoteIt also shows that the Jewish intentions at the beggining were good, while today, the constant attack by their neighbourn countries, has turned it into a very agressive ones. The ARABS STARTED.

As good as their intentions may have been, they were FORCIBLY TAKING something from someone for NO REASON THAT THE PALISTINEANS CAUSED.  The Palestineans will only be happy when they have everything back, not some, but ALL.  The Jews don't want it all, but most of it.  That is why in 50 years this conflict is still not settled.  The Arabs didn't start it!  The Jews friggin' went there and started a new country with Palistenean lands!  That started it.  They wouldn't have fought Jews that weren't there in the first place, would they?
#1413
So you're saying that they are not fighting for independence, but fighting because they hate Jews. Jews lived there pre-modern-Israel and weren't being massacred like now. Does that change your mind? It's a sort of simple view of things, but the Israelites weren't trying to create their own country with Palestinian lands then.
#1414
I think you must re-evaluate your interpretation of history, given your claim that you understand such things as why there are terrorists.

Quote1) Palestina was a British protectorate, they had the right to make with it what they wanted.

And Palestinians have the right to oppose the decision of the foreign country attempting to give away their lands.. I don't think we call New York a colony here in the US anymore you know.

Quote2) 5 countries attacked a bunch of jewish people (Iraq, Sirya, Egypt, Jordania and Lebanon), people who had just came from the nazi´s Camps, incomplishing the first UN resolution. Well, if that´s an example of way of behave of the "good guys", the muslims, thanks, you´ve answered my question in the way I wanted. \o/

Um, once again these are people being ganged up on by the world with their lands being taken away by the Jews.. regardless of who they are, they were causing a huge disruption in the culture. I don't think they agreed with the UN giving away their land. Well, I know that. I didn't call them good guys, you're putting words in my mouth or not thoroughly reading or something. Do you still not understand they were defending independence? I said they were doing it dishonorably, but the point is, they are doing it and you claim they aren't.

Quote3) The Jewish offered the palestinian to remain in Israel, and became jewish citizens, with full rights (30% of the population of Israel are muslims, descendents of those people).

If Mexicans became so oppressed that a majority of the people from there migrated to the US outnumbering us 7-3 and took over our government, but offered me "full rights" I think I'd still be opposed. Put yourself in their shoes. You're thinking inside the box of the people who did this to them.

Quote4) The palestinian who left, did it because the attacking countries promised them to kill all the Jewish and "paint the Mediterranean sea of Red with the dripping blood of the Jewish´ cutthroads"

What relevance does this have? I told you I didn't approve of terrorism. I mentioned much earlier that the extremists were stupid. I'm not on the side of idiot killers. Again, I'm just saying you're wrong when you say they weren't fighting for their independence.

Quote5) The 5 countires lost the war, and, as they didn´t knew what to do with the palestinians, most of the countries took a "nice decission": killing them (Do you know that Jordania is the country in the world which has killed more Palestinians in History?)

Um, ok. Still no relevance to them fighting for independence. You're just extremist-bashing again.

Quote6) Palestinians do not fight for freedon... As close they´re of having a free country, more suicidals come and kill 20-30 jewish. Palestinians terrorist groups are not fighting for the independence of Palestina, their foundational letters talk of "The total destruction of the infidel State of Israel".

They aren't close to having their original country back, they're close to having less than 1/3 of it. Ok, so to break this down.. They aren't fighting for independence, because they want the state that is trying to take it from them to be totally destroyed. Thanks for clarifying that for me.

You keep saying Palestineans are totally religiously motivated.. Are you familiar at all with that rivalry?  Israel was founded after WWII when a lot of Jewish people rightfully didn't feel at home in Europe anymore.  So they tryed to take back their holy land.. from the Palestineans.  Israel was not officially in existance, Palestine was there, then Israelis took over with justification from the UN.  Basicaly their rights were voted away by foreign countries, and Israel gets super-awesome military toys from the US while Palestine is defending its freedom and right to keep their nation with what few machine guns and ammo they can get.  Fair fight?  No.  So what do you do when a bully is kicking your ass and you can't get out of it?  You take a cheap shot at his balls.  It's not honorable, but if they want to exist terrorism is about the only way they can fight back and get results.  That is the same reason Osama sent his boys into our towers.. I don't think he'd be able to make a statement by sending an invasion force and they are royally pissed about our military presence in their religious holy land of Saudi Arabia.  Did you know that?  That is the whole reason the Muslim people are angry in the first place.

Again, I'm not saying "terrorism is good" but you're mixing up your points and facts again.
#1417
Huh? I'm not arguing against stopping dictorial states, I'm just saying that Iraq wasn't conquered because of 9/11.  That was just the excuse.  The Taliban were a regime, not a dictatorship.  That country was also in Civil War already anyways.

I believe that Iraq occupation is for the best and we should at least attempt to slow down Iran and Korea, but people get the reasons for doing so mixed up.  When you mix up the reasons you end up doing ignorant things like.. boycotting a stamp that doesn't benefit Muslims at all anyways.  Ignorance isn't bliss for me, and so I love talking about stuff like this because if I'm wrong on the internet, someone is damn sure going to point it out... but I don't think I'm wrong when I say Bush used the ignorance of the American public to wrongly justify what he did.  If he'd left out all of the nonsense and lies about nuclear testing and 9-11 connections the world public might not have been so pissed off about it either.

Don't read this if you're at work or young or something.

I doubt this is true, but it's funny nonetheless because of how much a lot of people hate their bosses.

QuoteNo, it has nothing to do with religion, it has to see with a culture, the muslim one, who was inmensely happy when two towers with 3,000 people inside collapsed.

Um.. that would be Afghanistan, not Iraq.  The reasons Bush listed for invading were almost entirely lies.  If we invaded every country that was happy for our loss, there wouldn't be such a thing as an Arab state in five years.
