  1. Noice Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  2. I have nothing to contribute on assessing this video and the work of those within, aside from saying it all looks decent to me. And to say I like your helmet pattern. That is all. Carry on. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  3. Well said, Mr. Rudd! I don't know much about his politics, but in this at least, I concur. "It was the product of some many many months and years of reflection... in good, Christian conscience." http://www.upworthy.com/a-pastor-asks-a-politician-why-he-supports-gay-marriage-it-seems-he-wasnt-prepared-for-his-reply Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  4. I have no way to compare, but I have no doubt that ever age and generation has had its honorable warriors, and its brutal tyrants and killers. THESE days, though, the warrior is slowly being taken out of the equation. It is slowly becoming impersonal, robotic, and more destructive than ever. I would almost prefer the humans be left in... at least they can show mercy. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  5. My high school had a championship rugby team. Two of the guys kept playing after ruptured spleens. They probably shouldn't have, but all they knew was that they wanted to win and that a bit of pain wasn't going to stop them. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  6. Yep. Once we had honour in war. Now it is drones and WMD and corporate prioroties. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  7. I have had my first skydiving dream. It was about doing my next solo. Just going over my dive flow, and doing it perfectly. Kinda nice! Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  8. How was the hunt for your main? Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  9. lol! And lol at Norad too :D Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  10. Because Kallend posted it? .. Shame when people play the player and not the ball The subject is who admires the Chinese Communist and their business model. Birds of a feather obviously. Chinese Communist? Where?! Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  11. Indeed! Or whites or males? Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  12. There are professional writers and English professors who don't always use correct grammar and punctuation. Sometimes people just cannot be bothered. Language is fluid. So long as the correct grammar/spelling/punctuation is there when it really counts, and so long as the message is understood, then who does it hurt? Personally I could use a few less texting short-cuts, like u for you, ur for your, u r for you are, etc. But again, so long as it is properly done when it counts, and gets the message across, all is good.

  13. I think it is just a matter of semantics. But so long as the idea is conveyed, all is good :) Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  14. This imam should get together with some of the more intolerant Christian fundies like the WBC idiots. They think alike. http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/sunnews/canada/archives/2013/08/20130828-084745.html Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  15. When your behaviour and style is changed to reflect a need to conform to your perspective of other people's expectations. That is what people refer to when you are not 'being yourself' If I don't like a certain band, but all my friends do, and I think that if I want to fit in, I have to listen to it, so I do even though I don't like it, then I am not being myself. Sure... it is not a good way of saying it when you take it literally, but that is the English language for you. When was the last time you actually TOOK a piss or a shit?

  16. I can't say for sure... but each time I have gone so far, part of the trip for me is knowing I can face my anxiety and win. Makes me feel pretty good. But I do feel some anxiety on the way up for sure. When I am at the door, I tell myself to relax, and go over what I exactly I am about to do... ready, set, arch, relax, look at the plane... going over the procedure helps settle my anxiety.

  17. So far, for the most part, I have found it to be a great source of conversation. Most people ask me questions about it, want to know more. Some people simply shake their heads and say that it is not for them. When I get a really negative reaction, it just gives me the opportunity to refine my group of friends.

  18. Now, I just know that is "supposed to be" some kind of cut, but we'll put together a decent hockey team when it becomes a real sport anybody gives a crap about. I cannot speak for Aphid, but the way I took it was simply that from time to time the US DOES have a decent Olympic hockey team, and when they do, we start talking about it. Then again, it could be a cut. But at least in hockey there is a flow of action. Football... yeesh... BORING... action for 5 seconds, then nothing for ten minutes.
  19. Not only the value in employee morale, but if I were to buy a PC, I would definitely consider a Lenovo as I think this gesture reflects very favorably on the company. I would be happy to put my $ in a company led by people with such ethics. I have in fact just bought one ... nowt wrong with it at all .. looks and breaths like the IBM that it surely is. You know, the Chinese are very good at propaganda. Looks like it worked for you. Rather than purchase a computer from an American or British company, you sold out to the Chinese. I know many will be happy when China owns your respective countries. Good job. They are all made in China. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  20. So you know this is a Canadian version of Letterman's top ten because of a friend's email? Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  21. Source? Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  22. You really think you could make McD's more unhealthy than it already is? They are probably bringing more pathogens OUT of the hospital than in. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  23. Personally I think the bonus should be given to ALL the employees equally, including the CEO and all the workers. It takes a team. Nice that he did it, of course, but it is still someone handing out what should not really be just theirs to hand out. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
