    I remember downloading some wallpapers :rolleyes: with my IT teacher lurking from behind waiting till I finally turn the thing off and saying 'you've already downloaded this one' a few times when I messed the sequence a bit.

    Eze, I can't help asking -- do a lot of boys try to get your attention? You seem to constantly be annoyed by your classmates who are male. If they are making passes at you even though you've already told them to leave you alone, simply step in close, as if you're going to kiss them, and then raise your knee up sharply into his groin area. After that, the boy will leave you alone, if he has any brains in his head!

    Tal, I was kind of joking -- I know everyone is supposed to read the rules and clicks the button that says they did -- I was speaking from the same place as when I advocate IQ testing before we release reproductive organs to people!


    Gothmog, BlackAdder is VERY British. It is very difficult for people to get it if they do not live in England -- I'm sure that I miss a good percentage of the jokes, and I'm a native English speaker!

    That's why I hate to discuss politics. I always get either really mad or just tired because people don't want to change their view on things.

    Technically the problem is with you since discussion doesn't rely on people changing their views after listening pro forma to your reasoning for a while.

    Of course some people are logically-impaired and thus they don't really reason and they don't really judge the others' reasoning either and they just drift from what fancies them now to what fancies them next - or have a fixed brain.

    But still, as a rule, it's not required by politeness to make tiny little concessions to show yourself as open-minded. This fad is in fact another fixation set in stone... Internally contradicting is an euphemism referring to it.
