I think Half Life 2 is a bit more complicated then a 4D train is, and that manages to get a good framerate on my comp, better then NL. Ummm, I wouldn't go that far.... -

And I would bet money that I really hate gay people??? No, I know I have many friends with varying views. We talk about them often, but we also have a mutual respect for eachothers' beliefs. So before you mistake me as closed minded, I'll let you know that I'm one of the more "indifferent" people when it comes to beliefs, and it is very rare that a practice or belief willl actually offend me. Also, grizzly, I have to say that I remain neutral on the subject of the origin of homosexuality. It irks me when people deny the validity of either side of the arguement when there is basically no solid evidence going one way or another. I don't exactly think it's a choice, but I don't claim it to be genetic. There isn't any evidence either way. I think it's a combination of *some* genetics, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were influenced by upbringing as well. In some ways, by combining genetics and upbringing, I can see how in some cases it would come down to some form of a *choice*, but not one so obvious as "I'm gay" or "I'm straight," but perhaps if one's own experiences led them to admire traits of one sex over the other and hence, while genetically not completely homosexual, their admiration for one would lend them to going one way or the other. That may not be a choice in the most common terms, but people usually do decide what interests them and not, and I don't see why those choices couldn't in someway effect their physiological being as well.

I excluded things about the jobs/rights etc as it is undeniable that those are needed, though I think the entire context of your post was over dramatic. 1. To put it so blankly as such, you do not give a fair argument. You make it out as if it is completely unjustified to not like gay people when 90% of the time it is a matter of belief, and even past there are those in the community who don't exactly set a good example, and I WILL NOT defend them as I think they deserve all the discrimination they get. Just as straight people with outlandish or eccentric behavior are looked down on as well, I see no reason why it should be any different there, it's just unfortunate the the behavior of a few is attributed to the whole. 2. Let's not allow the experiences of a few represent the truth of the majority. I can see the reverse psychology here, where something that works in favor of your argument is used no matter how frequent the occurrence, but really this line in particular blew things way out of proportion. 3. ACTUALLY, you're more like to get HIV/AIDS through injection now than you are being gay.... but if you're both, I guess you're basically screwed. 4. This argument has always entertained me. I choose to be myself, openly, in a 80% Southern Baptist school and town, and yet I experience very little, if any, gay bashing. Have I had the few scattered remarks, yes, but being who I am I don't allow them to affect me so much, and I think that is one of the reasons I'm not harassed as much as others are. Harassment often is not solely caused by if you're gay, it has a lot to do with how you are gay. I don't care how proud you are, but if you aren't respectful or descent about it then you can't exactly blame people for being outraged. This again applies to the "actions of few being applied to the whole" idea. No, I will not say that my personal experience dictates the experience of others, but being one of 4 openly gay guys at my school I've been able to observe the varying levels of "harassment" and how individual behavior really does tend to influence how much guff they get. These are my ideas. Take them as you will. I just thought your post slightly unfair to the other side.

This is a track I whipped up over the weekend whiel playing around with the new CP idea. It has many problems, I know, and no supports, obviously, but it's damned fun. The story, I can't use my sim so I really have NO idea what the g forces are, lol. SO if you die, it isn't my fault. I just thought I'd upload it here for you guys to have fun with. Massively Launched.nltrack Have fun with this rather massive and tangley track! There's twice as much track in the actual file.

My supports were in that video. -
Unfortunately Panic! tried to perform live again, with the same poor results. Though it was great having the entire audience screaming whore. LOL And I love Beyonce tring to be Janet Jackson, oh man. OK Go made up for the rest of the night's suck, though. And yeah, the only artists worth mentioning that were nominated were Madonna and Gnarls Barkley... that's pretty bad. It was cool that a7x won best group video, but at the same time, I hear them and hear them and hear others.

Well, actually that makes it even more difficult to eliminate pumping. Using shorter segments may be more time consuming, but the increase in user control is completely worth it to a dedicated designer. -
Funny you should say that...I did. Well not an "emo" kid but my friend who tries to be emo but doesn't dress "emo" and doesn't know what "emo" is. But he acts like he wants to be "emo." So when he was talking about how good P!ATD was and how bad a bassist Flea is I kicked him the shins. It was fun. Except he threw this little plastic toy at me really hard at me in the back. I let him do it though for payback. P!ATD IS amazing. Nor are they emo like people say they are. But like people that only know But It's Better If You Do and I Write Sins Not Tradgedies, and don't know their other songs, I hate. Especially when they say they're their biggest fan. I hope they burn long and hard. I've listened to them since HFestival and other small little nich venues that no one really knows about. Anywho, whats on your mind today Being an eletist is in at my school, too.

From what John has explained, CoasterFanatic is pretty much right in his guess. The long straight section next to the Flyer is probably the brake run, while the 2nd long section running in the back of the ride is the 3rd lift hill. Read the thread if you have questions. -James Dillaman Yes, the rolling eyes smiley was really necessary! Anyway, so it isn't 3 lifts in the common terms. It's like one split lift, and then one lift operating as a block at the end. Thanks for the info. -

I dont know if it's just my own perception, but there really aren't any distinct groups at my school to my eyes.
