Lol, awesome TR! Did the people who worked there ask you why you took a picture of EVERY SINGLE THING in there??

I'm still with my parents, because I'm still in Highschool. After, I do my backpacking trip in Europe I plan to join the airforce and live on base...for FREE!!

^^They put plastic on the outside so they can carry it easier. It's the same here on the west coast. I don't like doing that though, it's so inefficient in so many ways.. I used to hate bagging people's grocherys when they asked for paper (I worked at a grochery store). I'm all in favor of keeping the earth clean from plastic bags, but I don't understand why they can't make ALL paper bags with handles. They are such a pain to carry.

I have a Canon 40D haha. Cool though, isn't photography fun?! Congratulations on your new camera. I've used the D40 before, it's nice. I saw some of you were talking about taking classes and stuff...I joined a good photography forum, (thephotoforum.com) and it's taught me a TON. Just by being on there a couple years, I know all the terms, I know professional techniques, etc...Just post your pictures, ask for critique, and look at other photographers work/critique. I've learned a loooot of free, and interesting stuff. Also: ^, I agree with you! I started on a point-and-shoot camera, moved up to an "advanced point-and-shoot" with more control, and eventually grew out of that and moved on to my DSLR. The other cameras I had were just too limiting, and I had an idea of what I wanted, but my current cameras restricted me. However, good cameras definitely don't mean good photographers! And don't ever tell a photographer they have a nice camera while looking at their pictures...I can't belive people do that, its so insulting.

I was assuming people thought it's stupid, and that's why they want it locked. Maybe I should have used the word "lame" which definitely has a completely different meaning.

How is this thread considered stupid, and all the sticky threads up there aren't? ...Just a little confused on what exactly makes a thread stupid...

^Yeah, I'm just messin with you. No problem, though.

Hahahaha you spelled "n00b" wrong! But yeah, use the "IMG" code, and just copy it onto your post. You can upload like 15 at a time on photobucket. It's a lot easier than TPR's uploader if your posting multiple pictures, IMO.

^^Yeah, but how do you ignite them all at the same time?

Why can't the Government just buy stuff themselves and not worry about people spending their $600...Then they could just have a huge garage sale or something, and make money WHILE boosting the economy!! Makes sense to me...

^The right way as in 10 of those rockets?? I didn't think it would work, we were just messing around.

So it was a nice day, and me and my friends were bored of COD4 so we came up with the brilliant idea of strapping a rocket to my scooter. I didn't really get very far... This is the strong s*** right here. Assembling the beast. Here I am driving the monster. Then I guess it starts burning the other direction to kick the parachute out..Kinda started burning me, so here you see me trying to get out of the way of the raging inferno. In the end, we all gained some respect for those who have risked it all to get into space, leaving with more knowlage that will hopefully, ONE DAY...get us to Mars...

Ok, but did you really think this girl was going to pull her steak knife on ANYONE?? I already said I agreed it's bad, and that it's NOT ok to bring a knife to school. I'm saying, that I think it's stupid to call the friggin' cops and have her arrested for it. Suspend her from school, have a serious talk with her..but arresting her is just plain redic. Yeah it's better to be safe than sorry, but out of that extremely small chance for some crazy reason shes going to stop eating and stab someone (keep in mind this is a little girl in 6th-friggin' grade!), is it really worth scaring the crap out of her like that?? I mean...most people don't get arrested once in their life, and she has already been arrested for cutting her steak. She could have learned her lesson without being arrested, is what I'm thinking. People like you (NO OFFENSE OR ANYTHING) are why we have many of these annoying rules and regulations now that keep innocent people from having fun... I can just imagine it in five years from now... *kid walks into a grochery store, walks passed the liquor aisle, and happens to pick up a wine bottle, wanting to look at the weird-shaped bottle. (stupid move...but still technically having alcohol in his hands) police-HEY. YOUR BEING ARRESTED FOR HOLDING THAT ALCOHOL! police2-Good thing we got him. There was a chance he could have stolen it and drove home drunk in his dad's car without his dad noticing! Yeah, the chances are small, but he could have KILLED someone driving drunk! Better to be safe than sorry! But then again, I'm not a teacher, so what do I know

Ok, she was using the knife to eat her FOOD. We all know it's a serious thing...she could have had a serious talk...And my analogy makes perfect sense, your not listening to what I say. You already have your mind made up that your right and everyone else is wrong. Maybe YOUR the one who is wrong on this...considering, your one of the only people who think they didn't over-react. BUT OH WAIT!!!! It's from a teachers POV, that makes it right. Everyone stand back!!! The teacher obviously has wayyyyy better logic than the rest of the world, because of the fact THEY are a teacher. NVM The majority of us are alllll wrong, becuase the teacher has better comon sense than us. [/sarcasm]

^I do my work there, without complaining. It's what they pay me for. You still didn't answer my question though. Does it make sense to keep my out in the parking lot?? I'm not getting anything done, but I'm following the rules, so it MUST be good. Meanwhile someone slips on a spill, because no one was there to clean it up.[/u]

AWWWW!!! Heidi rocks!! Sassy should totally teach her a lesson though. nice TR!

^Awesooome. That sounds like a good idea, I'll do my researching. Thanks a lot, man.

Maybe because it is against the law to bring a weapon into school. Seriously people this really can't be this hard to understand! I just don't understand how this is not 1000% the kids fault. There is no one else to blame, at all. WE CAN"T HAVE WEAPONS IN SCHOOL. Well she obviously wasn't going to hurt anyone. You ARE right that we can't have weapons in school, but the whole point of not allowing weapons is to stop the violence. She wasn't planning on using the knife for violence (obviously), so why should she be punished? I agree, she should be talked to, and be let known how serious it can be bringing a weapon to school, but punishing isn't doing anything. That's where whoever called the cops, should have used some common sense IMO. They did use common sense they followed their school procedure. Why do none of the people on this thread who somehow believe this is ok ever acknowledge the fact that the rules must be the same for ALL the students? Why don't you guys realize they must follow the procedure this time, to be able to use the procedure in the future? I know why, because you are not looking at this from the teachers point of view. Again knives ARE NOT ALLOWED in school. No exceptions, no reason. As a side note for the immigration discussion. My school is 45% African American, 45% Latino and 10% white. My Latino students have easily been the best behaved and most motivated of all three groups during my career as a teacher. At my work (Grochery store) we have a schedule, that tells me I have to bring in carts from the parking lot at a certain hour of my shift. Sometimes, they need something else to be done, but I can't do it, because the manager in charge makes me go by the list (Even though sometimes there are NO carts outside). Does this make sense?? The rules say I need to get carts, but nothing is getting done, and I could be doing something inside.

^Good one.

^^Problem is, I googled it, and everything was in German!! Are you talking about going to school in Germany? Or just living there? Living there sounds really cool, especially if I can meet people from other places, and if they are my age.. Thats another small problem, is that I'm going to have absolutely no friends when I get to Europe.. ^YEAAAHH! That's what I've heard. You guys have all that awesome stuff, because no one sues for getting themselves hurt. I definitely look forward to that. Self opperated rides...NOT IN AMERICA!!!

That's redic. To arrest her, Fricken morons...seriously. I just don't get how there are so many people with no common sense. I guess people don't realize there is a difference between a 10 year old school girl, and a trouble maker. They are usually easy to tell apart at first glance...

^Haha, that sounds brilliant! Again...thanks for the help everyone! Bucket, I realllly want to move to Germany, but then it seems like there are a lot of things about Germany, that would make it tough to have a good life while I'm there. What were you saying about being a student?? Are you talking about highschool?? Sorry, I'm a little confused

^I want to go to Europe, not Eastern Russia where no one lives. EDIT:Also, Estonia soudns awesome because it's so cheap, but it just looks wayyyy out there. It looks to me like I would have to travel pretty far just to visit all the different countries, where as somewere like Germany is closer to France, Denmark, England, Sweden...all the places I want to see while I'm over there. Thanks for all the replys, everyone! I have some new questions: -Is it pretty easy for an American to get a job in Europe?? -And how about living there? What kind of place to stay would be the cheapest?? I'm not really sure if the living system is the same as here. -I proooobably won't have a driver's liscense over there. Would I be able to get around without having a car? -Oh yeah, and how about dirtbiking over there?? Are a lot of good riding places over there? Haven't heard much about dirtbiking in Europe... I can say: Jeg elsker dig God nat God Aften God morgen Sovd God Tillykke med fodsdsdagen Jeg savner dig Kys god nat I met a girl from Denmark once, she was an exchange student here. In fact, I'm really looking forward getting to see her again!

Yes, you did help, thanks so much! It does sound cooler living in the country side. I think whatever country I move to, I'm going to learn some basics of the language before I go there. I basically just want to see what everything is like. While I'm there, I want to see as much of Europe as I can afford. Thanks for helping! I'm not really sure what you mean by that. I googled it, couldn't figure it out. Thanks for your help though, I guess I should consider some cheaper places in Europe, haha. Yeah, same as what Carnage said. I really want to see what other ways of living are like. Again, thanks for everyone's help so far!! Anyone have any suggestions for cheaper European countries?
