For the most part, I do too. Except, of course, for the idiot who said this: What an idiot, everybody knows that every lightsaber is unique to the Jedi or Sith who built it. The red color of the Sith lightsabers comes from the synthesized crystals they use, rather than the natural crystals traditionally used by Jedi (notable exceptions include Luke Skywalker, who was able to build a green synthetic crystal).

There it is.

I'm glad I'm not the only one suddenly in some sort of Christmas spirit. Alright folks, here's the thing: there are very few people who know the urgency of suicidal feelings and those who do know the sheer torment, pushing you closer to the edge with thoughts of escape. There aren't many words that can reach people who feel like this so if someone you know is feeling like this you need to get them professional help. In the meantime, don't leave them and hope against all hope that you can remind them of something to live for, if just for another day so that maybe, just maybe, you can get them help that can relieve their pain. You might just save someone's life (and, most importantly, if you fail it is not your fault. Biggest mistake of my life was blaming myself for a friend's suicide). And if you are feeling suicidal, do anything you can to put off killing yourself for another minute or hour. Call a friend or relative, or call 1-800-SUICIDE or 1-800-273-TALK any hour of the day, any day of the week. What harm can it do? I know it doesn't seem like there's a way out but what harm can it do to just talk to someone for a measly few minutes? And who knows? Maybe you'll find some relief to that awful pain. Not necessarily responding to you personally, but THERE IS NO TYPE The only thing that might distinguish someone you know as suicidal are sudden changes in demeanor or behavior. Which is why if someone tells you they are suicidal, believe them. You can't risk being wrong about it and not believe them.

Benefits of not living in México Norte include: not having to deal with such things.

Always preferred Lowes to Home Despot myself, although the locally-owned hardware store nearby always gets my first visit.

Is she big into moisturizing and all that beauty stuff? I got someone on my gift list one of these Burt's Bees "Head to Toe" kits. Looks like a winner. http://www.burtsbees.com/other/gifts-her/head-to-toe-kit.html

Tell that to Southie and Roxbury. OC is right. It's the culture. No matter what, if that kid is living next door to crackheads and hookers, busing him to a whiter elementary school isn't going to solve the problem. When kids learn a mentality at home, they bring that with them to school. The teachers can change that mentality. BUT busing only does it one or two at a time, so it's not effective on a large scale. However, getting a group of 25 or 30 kids to change the way they think IS effective. Then they go home, play with the other kids, talk to their families, and that mentality rubs off. Suddenly you have a good cycle getting started, instead of a bad cycle repeating itself with a couple of outliers here and there.

Got me there. That's what google is for. We all love a good riot.

So what you're saying is, "better in a normative sense, 3rdnlng."

You better watch out, Mead. JR's after your wife. Luckily you thought of that way before he did.

I didn't know your name was Glen Schlomo Kokostein.

Reading comprehension FTW.

You go, Glen Koko!

I don't have any context to work with here. Link? Video? Something? Also, the "original" Israelites might not exist, but their descendants sure do. Doesn't give them **** except some lineage claim, but they're there.

Yeah, two out of three ain't bad.

I think he means "better" in a normative sense.

Best militia ever. JiA yells at everyone and goes MIA to hunt. Darin yells at JiA and corrects all of his grammar mistakes in the most condescending way possible while telling him to get a haircut. Everyone hits on Sarah Palin.

Famous for nothing Yeah, nothing was our world

Convicted felons are not allowed to own or transport firearms in Virginia.

The State of Virginia allows CC on public university campuses. VA Tech bans guns on their campus. The best part is that he's right, gun control advocates will have a field day with this. Makes me want to laugh. Almost.

Depends on what he's talking about. My hell loophole is that there's not much biblical basis for it.

Nor am I. I would say why but the PPP cesspool would drag this thread kicking and screaming if I did. Update: http://abcnews.go.com/US/virginia-tech-locked-shot-dead-including-police-officer/story?id=15114257#.TuEloHHM7ik Police officer, another dead. Suspect still at large.

!@#$. Not again.

Per VT twitter, home page. Police officer has been shot. http://twitter.com/virginia_tech/#/virginia-tech http://www.vt.edu/ http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/va-tech-police-officer-shot-campus-15114207#.TuECxXHM7ik

Dear 3rdnlng, Although I respect the creative process that may have been exercised to produce "assmudgeon," "bitchmudgeon," and the like, I have yet to see a legal claim, copyright or otherwise, to the use of the terms. Out of respect for the creative process, in the future I may request permission, however these requests are not guaranteed prior to my use of "assmudgeon" or "bitchmudgeon." Perhaps you should consider a legal claim in your sig, a la DC Tom. Regards, Levi
