It's possible. Losing Pandy would force me to interact with people more and I'd probably get over my shyness pretty quick.

I guess I am just naturally shy. That and the fact I have no idea what I can talk about with girls that we would both find interesting is what screws me over. Don't say music, because that will end in a huge metal vs rap argument.

Here's a hint: The best relationships start off as friendships. Don't ask her out right away. Just get to know her. Be nice and don't argue about rap and metal! :P Just nod your head man.

It's not like I don't know any of the girls I want to ask out. A couple of them used to be good friends of mine in 8th grade. But toward the end of the 9th grade we kind of just stopped talking to each other. Now I can't really come up with a reason to talk to them again without seeming creepy.

I know I'm making a big deal out of it. I really don't want to make a big deal out of it. But I just feel any girl I try to talk to is gonna think I'm creepy unless she specifically wants to talk to me, which they don't.
Now we should probably stop talking about this shit before everyone from Pandy comes and starts yelling at me.

The death of Pandy somehow came right when I'm finally about to stop complaining about not being able to get a girlfriend. Just need to get the balls to ask her out.

Soundness-wise, you'd better pick the girlfriend, unless you'd like to contribute to this relationship thread by means of crying that you lost your girlfriend.
Holy shit, now the guy is using the signature thing to cuss me by PM's.
bangaro, i know its cuz of the sig so leave me the hell alone, i did nothing to you ever... and I am trolling and flaming? Yo! Wake up. I am the Most flamed member on the forums, everyone has a grudge on me, so leave me the hell alone, its not enough that Hdogg tried to hack my fucking account on pandy now i gotta deal with some stupid argument. Leave me alone.
Bangaro and Darth, a squabble over a damn signature bar is about the most retarded thing I've heard in quite a while.
Chill out. Darth, change your sig. Bangaro, find a new one. I don't care how you do it -- you two are making fools of yourselves.
Quoiting Bangaro From the message he sent me:
I did it because you are a dick.
You say I act like a spoiled brat?
I do, but at least I admit it.
You fight, and troll, and you don't admit it, and you use the ol' "He did it first" And you get off free.
Bangaro, you are a REAL GOOD LOYAL FRIEND!
Like I said, you two are making complete fools of yourselves. It's a signature bar. Big deal.
Darth, you were the one who initially antagonized him into this apeshit frenzy -- I read the posts in the IRC thread. Do what it takes to make him calm down.

No, it's what happens when shit itself takes a shit. Moot needs to just pull the plug on that awful site and quit pissing away money on all the bandwidth. Which by the way, costs thousands of dollars every month, since 4chan has several GB of active content at any given time.
Also Bleach, that wasn't a flamewar. That's what I would call a minor bitchfight. I think we should implement bans over immature dickery.

Never have and never will.
So I'm on season 3 of 24 now - yes, I'm well aware that I've arrived late to the party - and it's by far the most addictive show I've ever seen in my life. You quite simply do not know where the plot is going, with unexpected twists happening around the clock. And yet, somehow, they all seem to make sense.
Not to mention that Bauer is the ultimate bad ass.
War crimes in video games anyone?

I'm not anti drug, I'd just never do drugs. I don't plan on drinking alcohol or smoking either. I'm straight edge. And I'm not just saying that to make me feel better about never getting invited to parties because I really don't give a fuck about all those stupid little parties.

Essentially yes. But even if I wasn't I still would probably be straight edge and not give a damn about going to parties.
I don't drink, smoke, nor consume, but heck, you're not going to catch me calling myself "straight edge". I don't consume just because I don't, not because it's reverse-hip not to.
I don't need a special title just for not eating mayonnaise.
"Now what's he got against mayonnaise?" </gaffigan>
Currently in my room, there is an empty bottle of vodka, an almost full bottle, a Jack Daniels shot and a little Smirnoff Ice bottle.
Not to mention empty chocolate button bags!

I like not conforming to society.
Conforming to non-conformity.
Great thinking!
Currently in my room, there is an empty bottle of vodka, an almost full bottle, a Jack Daniels shot and a little Smirnoff Ice bottle.
I don't hate against drinking or smoking. I do consider them classy, as harmful as smoking may be. I might not smoke or drink, but I'm not indignant about it. Heck, I'm thinking of carrying a back of cigarettes around just for the benefit of those who do partake.
Drugs though, yeah, I'll be indignant if it's my close friend; otherwise, it's too prevalent for me to care.
Taep, the gist of what I was trying to say is that the "straight edge" culture and mentality is the utmost example of conformity. If you don't want to drink, smoke or consume, that's fine. You're in good company.
Just... try not to describe yourself as "straight edge". It makes even Me feel uncomfortable, and I'm the biggest prude you'll Ever see.

I think it was him that used that comparison in a routine.
Yep, got it here.
When you don't drink, people always need to know why. They're like, "'You don't drink? Why?"
This never happens with anything else.
"You don't use mayonnaise? Why?
"Are you addicted to mayonnaise?
"...Is it OK if I use mayonnaise?"

someone put that on you at some point, you never chose it. you just think you chose it because that comes with the label. was it D.A.R.E? was it the above the influence ads? what molded you into what you are today? as for your "non-conformist" BS, what part about following every law to the T makes you stand out from society?

I've come close on a few occassions, but have never actually done it - nor have I smoked.
But drinking is a different matter altogether. I can't not drink when I go out to clubs or whatever; I don't understand how you can't, 'cos it's all part of having a good time if you ask me. You know, 'loosening up' and all that.

Oh yeah, I see it all the time at parties and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't tempting - you know, just for experimental purposes. There have in fact been times, when I've had quite a lot to drink and haven't been thinking straight, that I've come very close to trying drugs and/or smoking. But, up to now, I've been strong-willed enough to resist it. Although, I do realise that it probably isn't worth it in the long-run.

Okay, do you want to know where my straight edge bullshit came from? Alcohol was what caused my parents to get divorced. I don't want to even start with alcohol or drugs or anything so if I ever have kids there's not as much risk of them going through the same shit I went through and growing up most of your life without a real father. That was really hard on me.
Taep, it's not that you're straight edge people care about (except that president guy, apparently).

It's just easier and quicker to say "I'm straight edge" than "I don't want to ever smoke, drink or do drugs in my entire life." I don't identify with straight edge subculture in any way other than the choice of not smoking, drinking or doing drugs.
Eh, I get by pretty... oh dear... pretty fine by just saying "I don't smoke or drink". Heck, you and I kno... understand "straight edge" because you're actively exposed to the follo... bearers of it and I've got Internet.
If I tried to say "Hi, I'm straight edge" or "no thanks, I'm straight edge" to someone else, I'd most likely get blank stares.

About a century or two ago, the Pope decided that all the Jewish people had to leave Rome. Naturally, there was a big uproar from the Jewish community.
So, the Pope made a deal. He would have a religious debate with a member of the Jewish community. If the representative won, the Jews could stay. If the Pope won, the Jews would leave. The Jews realized that they had no choice. They looked around for a champion who could defend their faith, but no one wanted to volunteer. It was too risky. So, in desperation, they finally picked an old man named Moishe, who spent his life sweeping up after people, to represent them. Being old and poor, he had less to lose, so he agreed. He asked only for one condition to the debate. Not being used to saying very much as he cleaned up around the settlement, he asked that neither side be allowed to talk. The Pope agreed.
The day of the great debate came. Moishe and the Pope sat opposite each other for a full minute before the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers. Moishe looked back at him and raised his index finger. The Pope waved his hand in a circle around his head. Moishe pointed to the ground where he sat. The Pope pulled out a communion wafer and a glass of wine. Moishe pulled out an apple.
The Pope stood up and announced, "I give up. This man is too good. The Jews may stay.'
An hour later, the cardinals were all around the Pope asking him what happened. The Pope said, "First, I held up three fingers to represent the Trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there was still one God common to both our religions. Then, I waved my hand around me to show him that God above was all around us. He responded by pointing to the ground, showing that God was also right here with us, in our midst. I offered the wine and the wafer to show that God absolves us from our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind me of original sin. He had an answer for everything. What could I do?"
Meanwhile, the Jewish community had crowded around Moishe, amazed that this old, somewhat feeble man had done what all their scholars had insisted was impossible! "What happened?", they asked. "Well," said Moishe, "first he said to me that the Jews had three days to get out of the city. I told him that not one of us was leaving. Then, he told me that this whole city must be cleared of Jews! I let him know that we were staying right here." "And then?" asked a woman. "I really don't know," said Moishe. "He took out his lunch, so I took out mine."

I'll admit that I am not the biggest supporter of the war but I do agree with sending more troops in this case. The mistake in the first place was possibly not sending enough troops to handle the situation. The more power and influence you have in a country the faster a war ends and in theory the safer the troops are.
I mean really what other choices do you have?
Withdraw all the troops? That would just mean everything that happened in the past was (in a way) a waste of time and nothing was really accomplished.
Keep the same amount of troops there? This might work but it would cost the lives a lot more troops and would make the war take longer.
Adding more troops isn't going to guarantee success and I do see why people are against it but what else is there to do? That is the problem. It's easy to criticize something and say it is a bad idea but it's hard to come up with a better idea. People can talk all day about something being terrible but what they should really be talking about is coming up with a better plan.
The questions now is will this war be possible to win?

Iraq was pretty much over anyway. The handed control of the cities entirely to the Iraqi military.
It's good that they're sending more troops to Afghanistan though. It will more than make up for when the Canadians pull out in 2011 and anyone else that decides to pull out in the near future.

Before Obama was elected Canada didn't know what they were going to do in Afghanistan. Only after Obama was elected did the Canadian government finally decide for sure they were leaving in 2011. Canada is a major presence in southern Afghanistan. So Obama has to increase troops levels to compensate for the Canadians and whoever else is leaving. We don't have 30,000 troops there because that's almost our entire military though.

He didn't tell us anything about Afghanistan. He's pissing a lot of people off with a lot his recent decisions. I doubt he'll be elected again in 2012.

I distinctly remember Obama calling Afghanistan the 'War we need to fight' or the 'good war' or something like that. He said Afghanistan, not Iraq, should be the focus.

I didn't say anything about Canada. I'm just saying that Obama didn't tell the American people his entire plan before he got elected. He said we would leave Iraq, so then people would be happy. He didn't tell us anything about Afghanistan. He's pissing a lot of people off with a lot his recent decisions. I doubt he'll be elected again in 2012.
Would you rather be bogged down in Iraq for another 6 years doing nothing constructive or have more troops fighting in Afghanistan to actually improve the quality of life of the Afghans?
The average Iraqi was better off under Saddam, just so you know. The US made it worse. It's good they're leaving. If another Saddam comes, whatever. The Iraqis will be better off without the Americans in their country.

I'm glad we left Iraq. The main objective is completed, so their is no reason for us to be there. A lot of countrys are leaving Afghanistan. And now the US has to deal with it (Not a reffernece to Canada.) . I've just been saying that it's gay how Obama didn't tell the American people his whole story when he campaigned.
I'll admit that I am not the biggest supporter of the war but I do agree with sending more troops in this case. The mistake in the first place was possibly not sending enough troops to handle the situation. The more power and influence you have in a country the faster a war ends and in theory the safer the troops are.
Agrees. The US have invested so much in Afghanistan that they can't really just back out. It would be interesting to see how this unfolds in the coming year. The original US led campaign pushed militants towards Pakistan, who wasn't really doing much at the time. Now that the Pakistanis have decided to openly engage the Taliban, many people believe that it naturally forced militants back into Afghanistan.
The enemy would ether find a new haven, hunker down, or fight it out.

The reason he didn't say anything is because he was elected more than a year ago. Things change over time and I doubt he had this planned at the time he was elected.

goddammit this is not the america i was raised in im scared because of obama care impeach IMPEACH
I'm just saying that before he was elected he said he would pull out of Iraq, so then more people would like him. He didn't say anything about sending soldiers to Afghanistan. But I can tell you guys are just mocking me so who gives a damn about it.
Before Obama became President, and thus, a permanent member of the National Security Council, he didn't have any intel on anything; he knew as much as you and I do, and, worse, as much as any politician does.
Now, you gotta understand that, now that he knows what exactly is going on in the world, he wants to act according to that.
I, for one, am glad to be going to Afghanistan, purely because that's where we need to be and that's the right place to be. The Taliban and Al-Qaeda have been maintaining their strength while we focused heavily on reconstructing Iraq; now that we've cleared through Iraq, trained their police, and turned over the defense of their country to themselves, why not dedicate more strength to knocking out the war we've bee fighting since before Iraq?
I don't know about you, but, the sooner we finish it is the better. That's not going to happen with most of us at home.

do you really think that there is a group of well trained, well armed, well funded, well organized "terrorists" in one of the worst regions on the planet?
the government can track you, listen to you, see you almost every second of the day as long as you or someone near you has a cell phone, on or off. this is not an organization, it is simply a group of individuals acting individually who want us gone. they should still be killed for their savagery, its just better to know what is really going on.
So, this is some sort of reverse pseudo-conspiracy thing then? :P

Taep, don't drink the military Kool-Aid my friend.
Do you really think we're improving the average Afghan or Waziristani lifestyle? By doing what? Giving them another decade of war? The Taliban is what the people want. They don't want our drones, they don't want our tanks. They don't want our instability. Whenever your military is in a place where the native population doesn't want it, you become the oppressor. And that's exactly what the US and NATO forces are - the oppressors.
Sure, it may be in the name of freedom, or whatever, but we're still imposing our will on the Afghan people.
Which leads us to another unanswered question: Why are we there in the first place? There are less than 100 "Al Qaeda" fighters in the entire country of Afghanistan. Why bother pursuing such a small group? It's simple: we want an oil pipeline.
The relationship between fossil fuels and Afghanistan has been written about extensively, just not that much by me. Afghanistan, a landlocked country, has essentially negligible petrochemical resources, but there are vast oil and natural gas fields in Central Asia to the north, notably in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Azerbaijan. Getting those fuels to American, Western European, and even Asian markets requires vast pipelines. - Alan Bock, Antiwar.com
The main idea? America and NATO want to stay in Afghanistan to build pipelines from Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Azerbaijan without passing through Russia or Iran. This would only be possible with an American satellite state in the region. Hello, Afghanistan.
And that is why we're still there. That's probably what this was all about in the first place. They could've had special forces go after Bin Laden, who was rejected by the Taliban anyway. But no, they needed a full-scale war. Why? As stated above, it's for an oil pipeline.
Yea. It's like Somalia. A bunch of crazy people running around with guns.

if you're going to resort to sarcasm and mockery than you have no point.
everything in this discussion up to this point has been either intelligent or lighthearted. your post is what people with weak arguments resort to when they are backed into a corner and have nothing to say. you added nothing, you brought the discussion down to a lower level, you look like an ass, you hurt your reputation.
you get nothing, you lose, good day sir.

wait... how do you... why... how do you get the opposite of a fake conspiracy? is it a real conspiracy? no thats not right. its a fake conspiracy made to look like a real conspiracy! wait.

The country is unstable with or without us. There is more to Afghanistan than fighting. What goes on in that country affects the U.S. economy and crime rate. (Poppy fields)
You act as if Afghanistan was totally different before the U.S. entered it. Before the U.S. entered fighting still occurred between opposing groups just like it does in the country today. It's really not very different at all.
Which leads us to another unanswered question: Why are we there in the first place? There are less than 100 "Al Qaeda" fighters in the entire country of Afghanistan. Why bother pursuing such a small group? It's simple: we want an oil pipeline.
You counted? Someone actually walked through the entire country and counted? 100 people are really able to do that much damage to the most powerful country in the world? When was the last time the United States invaded a country for oil? The amount of money spent on the war would negate any profit made from the oil. Afghanistan is a land locked country which makes it even worse. Unocal proposed the idea of a pipeline in the 1990's. That is a public company that is not owned by the government.
The main idea? America and NATO want to stay in Afghanistan to build pipelines from Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Azerbaijan without passing through Russia or Iran. This would only be possible with an American satellite state in the region. Hello, Afghanistan.
Oil companies build pipelines not the U.S. government.

So what you are saying is that they could have created a stable country, spent billions of dollars less, and built a pipeline that would have allowed them to profit but they didn't? Yeah that sounds believable. Not to mention the fact the US government isn't an oil company.
The relationship between fossil fuels and Afghanistan has been written about extensively, just not that much by me. Afghanistan, a landlocked country, has essentially negligible petrochemical resources, but there are vast oil and natural gas fields in Central Asia to the north, notably in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Azerbaijan.

Notice the website - "Antiwar.com"
Now read this quote:
An area of shale and other rock in North Dakota and Montana is estimated to hold the largest potential oil resources in the 48 contiguous states, according to an assessment released Thursday by the United States Geological Survey.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/11/us/11oil.html
So the U.S. invaded Afghanistan for oil when there might be 3 to 4.3 billion barrels (126,000,000,000 gallons) of oil on their own land? Not only that but it would be cheaper to ship, create a lot of jobs in their own country, and decrease the United State's dependence on foreign oil.
Do you really think we're improving the average Afghan or Waziristani lifestyle? By doing what? Giving them another decade of war? The Taliban is what the people want.

Anyone else get a flashback of McHales Navy when reading that?
I see that someone has never actually been to Afghanistan.
The 100 Al Qaeda fighters was an estimate. This is obviously not counting Taliban fighters. There are thousands of those, to be sure.
Don't get me completely wrong here guys. No, we would not be taking the kind of casualties we are from less than 100 guys. Even if it is Afghanistan.
All I'm saying is that the reason we went into Afghanistan hardly even exists anymore - they've all left. So why bother? Stabilize a country which hasn't been stable for hundreds of years? Good luck with that. I don't care whose military you're using, you're not gonna do that.
This is a country that survives based on corruption and the drug trade. Why get our hands dirty in that?
We need to wash our hands of this shit and save American lives. No more blood needs to be on our conscience. If we leave, fighting will continue and the Taliban will come to power once again.
If we stay, dozens, maybe hundreds, more Americans will die. The question is: for what?
The president may think it's worth it but it's already been 8 years. It is my opinion that we should pull out before the shit really hits the fan. We're just providing 30,000 more targets for the Taliban.
The point is, we're not helping anything.

I hope you know that everyone in Afghanistan isn't a terrorist. Their are civilians.
There may only be 100 Al-Qeada, but they set up IEDs, booby trap buildings, they pull back, and play dirty.

Civilians that would rather stick to their traditions than embrace a corrupt 'democracy' which exists to serve the United States.
There are many crazy conspiracies regarding Afghanistan, most of which aren't true. But as far as I can tell, this is 'another Vietnam' and escalating it won't accomplish what they want you to think it will.
The surge in Iraq didn't even work - we paid off people to not be violent for certain periods of time. That's why there was a reduction in violence there.
We're repeating the same strategy here.
I don't buy into the 'America is the exalted nation, justified in all of its overseas endeavours' BS. People practically fucking worship the troops and their generals. We're a militarist society and our economy is partially based on the weapons manufacturers and as such, we find places for perpetual warfare.
A British general said we may be in Afghanistan for forty more years. Sure, this is providing the violence calms down and we can set up bases like we did in Germany, Japan, and Korea. But really?
Sorry, I've rambled enough. Back to the conspiracy theories thing. Has anyone heard of the Project for a New American Century? PNAC founders were high-level officials in the Bush administration. Before they worked with Bush, they founded a think tank called the Project for a New American Century. This set up goals for how America could keep its superpower status in a new century.
Here's a short video describing it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sg_NRC8ozk
Again, just a theory as to what's going on, but it's worth looking into.
Kevin, I would like to know where on earth you get your information. It's not just incorrect, it's as flawed as walking into Alaska and claiming that snow falls purple.
The Afghanis want the American protection; the Taliban don't just follow an extreme fundamentalist interpretation of Islam: they kill anyone who disagrees, and no Afghani wants that. No Afghani likes dying because someone with more Kalashnikovs is making the decisions for them, and no Afghani enjoys having their village and lives threatened should they not step in line.
That you even begin to suggest, without an ounce of knowing what on earth the culture is like East of the Mediterranean, shows that you really have no place talking.

i think you're missing the point. there is no al-qeada. just a bunch of loons running around with guns.
you people need to get your heads out of your asses, this is real life, not a video game. there is no counter on the side of a screen, no list of targets that we can just cross off. the art of war does not lie in numbers, does not lie in morals, war is a dance. complex in ways you or I cannot even imagine.
tell me, honestly what you think goes into... say... a troop movement order?
another thing, the people that set up the ieds and take pot shots at american troops are people. they don't just slink into the shadows after their job is done, they go home, into whatever little shit hole hovel they live in, they might have families, they have lives, they were raised to what they are today, not grown in a fish tank and activated to bomb something.
so when you think it is simply a matter of taking enough lives so there are no more enemies, you are dead wrong.
lastly, ill give you some statistics for deaths in the world for roughly the last 300 days.
14,750,612 people died of heart disease. ie: being fat. that's 14 MILLION
6,408,451 people died of cancer, probably the one thing on this list we can do nothing about. again that's million.
3,264,792 died of lung disease, mostly from smoking cigarettes, first or second hand.
1,734,589 died due to digestive disorders
979,133 died of brain diseases or strokes.
868,077 human beings died of diabetes
now for diseases you can get from other people
2,734,371 died of HIV/aids
1,649,779 died of diar-fucking-rhea
1,381,755 died of tuberculosis
oh, a fun one, out of 50,182,850 only 5,850 have died of swine flu. 593 in the USA and over 2,500 in south america.
now for the other shit
1,050,358 people died of traffic accidents.
345,539 fell to their deaths.
336,999 drowned.
308,982 were poisoned in some way.
274,950 DIAF (died in a fire)
other more random accidents claimed a good 813,313
now for the shit people do
there were 770,590 suicides in the world.
492,658 died on violent crimes.
and, our favorite, war took 151,017 lives. not a whole not in comparison yes?
and last but not least STARVATION KILLED 427,515.
so in the long (or short) run, sending a few thousand more troops into Afghanistan will help us get to the more important shit, alright?
Drop a few nukes; war over. Where's my medal?

Obama isn't the one who prints money. The government doesn't choose how much money to print. It is all basically supply and demand. If more people take their money out of banks then the government prints more money. The more money the banks lend to people the more money the government prints. If the banks need paper money the government prints it.
All the government does besides print it is regulate how much is printed (limit how much is allowed to be printed). That is the job of the Federal Reserve and Ben Bernanke is chairman of the federal reserve. He was also originally nominated by George W. Bush.

obama doesn't print money, its the federal reserve.
the federal reserve is printing money to destroy the value of the dollar, when the dollar is useless they will use political influence to form the North American Union (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Union) with a new, more valuable currency, the amero.
