Bored? Lets waste time together! [b]Before I ask my question, I would just like to say that I am not in any way, bashing on athletes or hating on them and what they do for a living, I was simply just curious and wondering.[/b] So my question is... [i]Why do Athletes get paid so much money even though what they do nothing that really all that... lets say important (For a lack of a better term)[/i] Think about it... they get paid to slap balls around (haha...? anyone? no? Just me? D:) while there are starving homeless kids in their country, and around the world :S a lot of the money that goes towards an athletes paycheck could be put to better use to better an entire country.... so what do you guys think? Why do they get paid such insane amou

Why do people do this does this happen around your area? Okay, so, why is it that people decide to J-walk across the street, when there's a cross walk where they can safely cross the street like, ~10 feet ahead of them? >.< You have no idea how frustrating it is when I'm driving along the road, when some mentally challenged lunatic decides it's completely safe to dart across the street, when there is clearly oncoming traffic from both ways... What in the world could possibly be going through their head when they decide to do this? Where could they possibly be going, that they're in such a hurry? </3
Gods Eater: Burst and Persona 3 Portable Honestly, those two are probably the only two [i]good[/i] games that have been released recently for the PSP, aside from anything Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts related... I've had my PSP since it came out, and I really regretted buying one... it didn't get that many games that piqued my interest... until now that is! :O Dunno if anyone has ever heard of Gods Eater yet, it's a really great game (It's similar to Monster Hunter, but I find it much easier to pick up and play) Sadly, the fan base for games such as final fantasy, and kingdom hearts completely overshadow these two games! D: I never got to play P2/P3/P4 for the PS2, as whenever I went to pick the game up, [i]all[/i] the game stores would
Is anyone going to play DMO So, is anyone going to play it? :3 For those of you that don't know what DMO is, it's [b]Digimon Masters Online[/b] basically an online Digimon game. :D From what I know (Which is very little) the game has thus far only been open to people in Korea, since it requires a KSN or something, but finally (after 2-4 years or maybe a little more) the company Joymax has released an English client for the game! (Although, they couldn't run the CBT for the 2 weeks because of a critical error that took them the entire CBT period to fix >.<) [b]In a hurry? Read this:[/b] One of the better Digimon Online RPG's is going to finally be available for everyone to play. It's still in a testing period, which will start on Augus
Chemistry help To measure the volume of a small cylindrical piece of an unknown metal, you fill a graduated cylinder with a small amount of water, and carefully place the metal into the cylinder. Before the metal was added, the cylinder had 4.71mL of water. After you added the metal, the top of the metal piece was above the top of the water. The water line was at the 9.14mL mark. Will the density you calculate using the change in volume be too big or too small? Explain how you can tell. I was leaning more towards the density being too small, as the metal is not fully submerged in the water. However, after spending several minutes re-reading the question and thinking it over, I re-called that density is an intensive property and that it woul
Before you ask a girl out [b]As a guy[/b], when you're asking a girl out for coffee or some other variant ([i]with intentions of dating her[/i]), do you ask her if she is single/seeing somebody/has a boyfriend? [b]As a girl[/b], how do you feel when a guy asks if you're single/seeing somebody/have a boyfriend before asking you out? Does such a question affect the probability of you saying yes to his coffee invitation?

The Open Beta Testing ends tomorrow, which means the game will have many new releases (Hopefully) for loads of fun! :D I made this thread, because the game's pretty boring without having people to play with/talk to, y'know? Sure you've got your guild but... sporadic playing times won't help! >.< So, come join me and play! :D P.S: I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section :3
Freakonomics - HELP! So, after two weeks of searching, I finally found the book I was assigned to write a Book Review for. [b]Freakonomics/b] After finishing it up a few hours ago, I started working on my Book Review. I was using a "Guide" the teacher gave to "End your introduction with your thesis." I don't know what my thesis should be... this book itself didn't have one specific thesis, but rather several theses - one thesis per chapter I guess... Does anyone have tips on how to write a thesis? I know that a thesis is basically an argument... but I don't know what exactly it is I am arguing about. For a book review isn't the thesis, something that would entice the reader into wanting to read even further? Persuade the
Nintendo DS Lite- Please Help! My DS lite suffered a minor fall, and a tiny piece of the plastic near the right hand Hinge (Beside the R button) broke off. So now my upper screen won't display the graphics properly, but the back light still works (Which indicates that the upper screen isn't completely broken) Do you guys think that the problem is actually internal? Like some wires or something are loose? or do I just need to replace the outer case of the DS? Does anyone have an idea of how much it costs to replace the case itself? Or would it beneficial to just buy a new DS lite all together? Please don't suggest I get the 3DS because, I highly doubt that it's worth spending $300 for it, as it is... I just don't think it's worth the money t
If you had an encounter with extraterrestrial life If you encountered extraterrestrial life, and had the chance to go live there in their home world, would you take it? But there's one condition. 1. You live there forever, amongst them. You cannot go back to planet earth. P.S: You're allowed to take one (1) person of your choice with you, who would it be? :P I would jump at the opportunity, say farewell to this planet, and I would take... dunno who yet, I'll get back to ya on this one
Canada: Who's excited about the snow fall? :D Anyone living in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) excited about the huge snowfall we're expected to have tonight? I know I am... We haven't had a proper snowfall since... god knows how long, the last time we had a typical "Oh look at that common Canadian weather, only 592085928052 trillion feet of snow! D:<" was when I was in like... 3rd/4th grade. I am in 12th grade now... I am really happy about this. :) If enough snow falls, school might be canceled too. :) I'd love to have a nice snow day, sit at home, all warm and.. toasty. Sippin' tea! :C
The weirdest/scariest dream you've ever had? What's the weirdest dream you have ever had? Mine is (Well, this is all I can recall from the dream)... I found myself standing on a sheet of snow/ice... sort of like the stuff you find in the Arctic in nothing but a pair of flip-flops, shorts, and a T-shirt, and all of a sudden, the ice starts to crack really fast, and from out pops a gigantic whale from under the ice, causing it to break completely. I plunge into the frigid water, and this is when I wake up in a cold sweat. :( What does it mean? I can't swim either... so this dream sorta scares me, LOL and now whenever I take a cold shower (Practically every day during the summer) and close my eyes, I always get that haunting image of the whale
