I hate shaving too. I'm having to shave more frequently every time... UGH.

Taemond
June 8th, 2010, 05:05 am
That's the trouble of it. The more you shave, the faster it grows. Personally I just don't care and quite like my beard and mustache....................although everyone at school keeps telling me I look like 25 with it.

..........now that I think about it I could use that to my advantage :shifty:

Unless of course, you're Asian. There was one time when I shaved and like a week passed by...nothing. Well, it wasn't "nothing", more like "not worth pulling out the razor blade for it"

oh a jackass I see I see. idk maybe its some 12 year old who doesnt know his place. oooor some really old guy but idk it seems that banning people who disagree with everyone and cause a rukus is a little... i dont wanna say, but closed minded?
i know this isnt a democracy but just because someone doesnt see things/ refuses to see things the way everyone else does doesnt mean they dont get to say what they want.

if we're talking about being mature, people who pick a fight with the annoying person are prolly just bored or whatever and in some cases pissing off the jackass is fun? but for most people, once recognizing theres no hope for people like that salsa kid, would simply ignore that thread and move on.

this is me being all liberal and shit-- just voicing my opinion. feel free to disagree.

He lost the right to defend himself when he decided not to listen to the suggestions of other members. I gave him some time off from the forums (restricted ban), which resulted in him inciting even more war on the forums. That's insult to my charity, so I rid him of that account. Then he comes back again playing ignorant to his/her other usernames. At that point, I extended his vacation to 3 months and told him/her to stop evading bans. I then used a full ban; meaning the user doesn't have any permissions to do anything at all.

Then there was another account created, sent out a PM to Hopeless and started to create another thread in the music section. I banned that one immediately, and then placed a request for an IP ban on his access points.


This right here is an example of a person that doesn't know how to stop. Even if they are right, the amount of friction received should have been a key understanding that we are not going to change whatever we're doing. Yet, after statement, warning, punishment, and amendments, they have yet to stop. Even after offering a second chance, they fell into the same rut. This is why they're getting the strongest ban we have to offer here

I've read everything already. I think that salsalover's/avacado's/cello&guitarplayer's problem is that he expects too highly of us, in the way that he expects us to be charitably perfect. If he doesn't get what he wants, a backlash is imminent. -_- His mistake of thinking that we're biased against guitarists is stupid, tons of other sheet music requests written for piano & other instruments were not always fulfilled. :\ He is wrong for calling us elitist, if we were really elitists as how he perceives it (He thinks that we're egoists who scorn the imperfect), then we wouldn't have bothered to post long but informative posts to specifically answer his queries. He assumed wrongly, there is no such thing as a stereo-type against guitar players in Ichigos. He made this assumption because he fabricated this selfish thought that if he's unhappy, then other guitarists must be unhappy too. :bleh: In fact, we welcome all types of musicians.

We don't practice any form of favoritism, if we seem to be closer to a particular subject as compared to another, that's just because we know that particular subject better. He mentioned that he had stayed up all night trying to transcribe, but to no avail. This shows that he gives up rather easily, which brings me to a certain point, if he gives up easily, why does he expect the opposite from others? :what: He has this wrong twisted idea that musicians have to rush their music practices and thus, they don't have the time to learn slowly. Great music is not derived by just obtaining notes fast, one has to learn important music fundamentals slowly, like conversion of an instrument's notation to another instrument's notation. Fundamentals like this do help to accelerate learning. He assumed wrongly again, no one called him lazy, he has this sick mindset that we're calling him lazy just because we tell him to learn a skill that he doesn't want to. :frusty: He thinks that we deprive him of his right to express his thoughts freely, but if countering him was an act of deprivation to his rights of expression, then sadly, I think he missed the point of a forum discussion.

He believes that we should adopt a pianistic web name because we mainly cater to piano sheet requests, but again, he fails to realize that we also do transcriptions for other instruments including guitars. He thinks that we try to impress newbies so that they would suck up to us. He's a new member who joined the forums in less than a month's time, so why isn't he impressed like claimed? XD He mentioned that forums are "peer support websites" created to mainly provide assistance, which is not necessarily true, forums are made as a means of open communication for any particular subjects. I think he wrongly associated our forums with the likes of Tech-help forums, which are centered towards helping clients with technical issues. He believed everyone here should have prioritized him, even after being provided with the help requested. That makes him the elitist, not us! <_<

He lives in this dream world where he thinks society is easily changeable. He is wrong, if society transcribes more pieces for the piano, then he cannot change that particular nature of society easily, especially not when he gets on other people's nerves. One irritating thing about him is that he refuses to write his arguments properly. Fucking hell, he said he scored well for his essays, but yet he still doesn't make it a point to conjure his sentences properly. This type of nonsense disses me off because I write better than him and yet I mostly score an average in class. :realmad: He claims he's calm, was that even acceptable? :blink: Lastly, he created two new threads revolving around this issue, in order to antagonize all those who got involved in his purposeless arguements, and he sent a PM to HopelessComposer with a bucket-load of his spam. How despicable. :angry:



Okay, I'm done. I just wanted to contribute this summary as a form of obligation for everyone affected by this crap flame war & for the particular member who thinks that we're oriented against him and that we don't really care much for his sake at all. Even if my eyes and fingers feels like shit after reading & typing this one heck of a mess, still, I created this summary with the intention of contributing something meaningful to the community and to the general readers. Sorry if my post was too damn ridiculously long or too offensive in any way. I'd like to apologize beforehand if I have made a mistake in this post in any way. :)

I can't tell if this is serious or not. In the case that it is: It's a plastic/rubber/metallic dick used for masturbation and/or foreplay. Although, it is not always in the shape of a dick. Sizes vary. Some even have fake balls at the end.

Did any of you guys watch/read Kara no Kyoukai (The Garden of Sinners)? Everywhere I go, I don't think I see/hear many people know anything about this movie/light novel....

Generally dissed as poor literature except its cult fans because Nasu Kinoko had a tendency to hide his lack of writing skills with difficult words and random use of proper nouns.. mix that with type moon hype and anybody sane wants to stay away from it.

THANK you. And it's an ugly, overly CG'd mess. Kekekekeke. XD

It's not fair to compare most shows to Haruhi, though. There has always been a lot of garbage anime out there. This season looks like it's going to have a few good shows. =)

And e3 starts today! Fuck yeahhhh! =D
This one's gonna be good. Natal (now Kinect) is already looking terrible, Zelda's gonna be great, and the 3DS is going to be unveiled. And Sony will do their wiimote ripoff, too. It's gonna be really interesting! Stupid time zones, though. I have to wait like three hours longer than I thought I did. Microsoft starts today at 10 am PDT, and nintendo starts tomorrow at 9 PDT. Everyone watch! IGNs doing a live feed, and I'm sure Kotaku and most other game sites will, too.

I disagree! :P Haruhi was the first anime that started my whole "anime affair." XD

The first season of Haruhi was okay to me, very interesting storyline, characters, etc. But the second season was truly bullshit, endless eight. -_- I would have recommended Haruhi to anybody, if not for the 2nd season.

Watch something from the nineties (nearly anything) and tell me that the Haruhi anime was good. It had it's moments, but putting aside that the novel was fantastic, the story was choppy, full of holes, idolism, pointless fandom and marketing schemes, and the production company even realized this! I'm going out on a limb here, but what did Haruhi do that other anime did not? A choreographed ending? Over the top (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=25) antics? High School Romance (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=199)?

The only thing Haruhi did was try to mix several generas together with mediocre success and was met by the Anonymous internet boom. I mean, seriously sit down and watch it. There's nothing all that great about the series. The only character that really makes any sense is Kengo Shigemura (yes, this is a character). All the rest are loopy and discontinuous.

Regarding endless eight: it is a fantastic premise. For a book. For anime, on the other hand, not so much. It doesn't work. People are not willing to spend 60 USD for two DVDs with the exact same story written on it.

Slayers has an easy to follow yet fun story, humour, fun characters, action and it's just interesting. To me, Haruhi didn't really provide any of those. It was an interesting thing to watch but it never really got me wondering what was going to happen next. It never really got me laughing out loud. It never really got me caring anything about the characters since they're all underdeveloped.

Slayers may be a simple anime (basically it's just your typical phantasy thing with knights and wizards etc) but... that's just what I like about it. I don't need all that new anime crap that either takes itself too fucking seriously or is completely bonkers.

When it comes to weird anime, Excel Saga is still king over everything. Nothing will beat that. Full Metal Panic is also great to watch. Think I'll go after that next.

FMP and Excel Saga are great. I honestly never watched Slayers because the characters look like they'd be extremely flat. Since you're saying that's one of the problems you had with Haruhi, can I assume Slayers doesn't have this problem? I've going to need some more shows to watch soon.

No, Canada is a part of the continent North America, which is connected to Cental and South America. If you put them all together, they make The Americas, which Canada is a part of, yes. Still, you shouldn't confuse any of these with plain old America, the richest, most awesome country on the planet. Don't they teach geography in any of these lesser nations? ;)

No, the US hates the rest of the world for that attitude of yours.
So the feeling is probably mutual, with the only real difference being that people from the US only show their attitude when people from those other little countries show theirs first, whereas the rest of the planet thinks it's trendy to attack America whenever it's mentioned. I think that probably has something to do with America having a ridiculous concentration of awesomeness that most countries couldn't even dream of having, but I haven't quite proven this theory of mine yet. =P

I'm not saying it's the deepest thing ever but I think the characters are better thought through than the haruhi characters, though that says more about haruhi than about slayers.

I'm sorry that the U.N. decided to stop Iraq from taking over Kuwait. I'm sorry that the U.S. provided the main response force. You act like the U.S. acted alone in the events that lead up to 9/11. Last time I checked, there are 192 members in the U.N. Get off your high horse.

Yeah, sure. Then why not invade North Korea and free the people there? Oh yeah, no oil.
We did fight a war in Korea. It's called the Korean War. Once again, it was a U.N. coalition where the U.S. provided the main/largest response force.

Actually, he has a point. I kinda forgot about the UN :P

BUT! That doesn't change the fact that America supplies countries with weapons so that they will eventually become a threat to the US, giving them a reason to invade the country. The US originally supported Saddam Hussein because he was anti-communist. Then the communist threat disappeared, so America needed a new enemy, which became its former ally Iraq. Now that Iraq is pretty much gone, America's starting to aim for Iran.

Obama being in office slows the whole thing down, because Obama actually IS educated (unlike Bush) but in a few years another redneck republican will become president again and Iran will be invaded.

Oh, and some reading material on Afghanistan:

http://www.countercurrents.org/lucas260210.htm

Again, the US is responsible for creating an enemy. I can kind of understand why those Afghan people are ticked off.

Oh, and there's another little thing that pisses off muslims. It's called Israel. And who's big buddies with Israel? The USA of course.

I hate it when professors are too lazy to assign more work and would instead give us 3 tests (2 midterms + one final) and a presentation, all worth 25% each. If I mess one up, there goes 1/4 of my overall mark. Seriously...I have TWO courses that do exactly this.

Except for my Art History, which does a 25% midterm, 25% term paper, 10% essay (which I already did) and 15% Final exam.

At least you get a fair amount of tests of EQUAL! value. Was so ridiculous last year, only 3 tests, but 1 accounted for 50%, the other 2 only 15% each. :\

What was the missing 20% for?

I've never actually had a class like this...or at the very least, considering it's my first year of university PLUS my first taste of a Summer sem (at which point I'm ALREADY feeling burnt out with two more months left) 25% for one test, especially with my disadvantaged mental condition does not bode well. I guess I have to say goodbye to my GPA...

One of my modules had a mini coursework every week, worth about 3% each
several large courseworks of 15% each and a exam at the end worth 50%
:think:
but then another one was just two exams of 50% each, one at christmas, the other in summer. :P

Honestly, who knows and who cares. As long as the problem gets fixed I don't care who does it.

The real problem is that it can't be fixed. The oil hit the wetlands. There's marsh that has several hundred year-old soil and many critters and fowl will die. The coral reefs are now submerged inside of an oil-saltwater mix that's predicted to stay for over 10 years, meaning the coral reefs will be destroyed and uninhabitable.

So BP will have to support this generation of fishermen until the end of their current lifespan/working-days since nothing will be left.

Actually, a particular European oil company is fucking us over because they lacked a plan in case of something very possible happened. (http://www.livestream.com/wkrg_oil_spill)

I just can't wait until they die due to the fact that they have over 200,000 persons that they will owe over 80,000 USD a year for the next 50 years or however long it takes to restore an entire gulf sized sea worth of sea-life (read: over 200 years). After all, because we know that when we don't do anything, lots of stuff gets done.


Edit: Get rid of all of your stock in BP. You'll be sorry if you don't.

And who do you think approved the oil rig being put there without any safety measures?

America should stop blaming BP and start looking at the idiot who gave them permission to build the rig and not check its security.

Well, I'm not saying I'm not disciplined but...it's kind of a big leap for me since it's my first year. I keep having this thought in the back of my head that if I mess up this one test, I lose ANY chance of getting a good enough mark.

...and then I wonder "Just when the hell did I start caring about my grades?"
I never used to give a damn about them, I just cruised on by with "whatever happens, happens" and I always seem to get pretty good marks.

I understand how it must feel, but I'd just like to say something possibly ignorant. Being single is not really that bad, trust me. With lesser commitment, you can now spend more time doing the things that you couldn't enjoy when you're with your partner, like playing games & watching TV for example. Also, now you don't have to deal with so much stress taking care of your partner's feelings. No doubt you'll feel empty/unfulfilled without your partner, but this is exactly the same reason why you should enjoy your new found freedom to pursue new interests & hobbies. Hope I didn't say anything wrong...

America should stop blaming BP and start looking at the idiot who gave them permission to build the rig and not check its security.

Erm... International waters holds no terminal ownership (though, people believe that the Gulf of Mexico is the US's property just like the Asian Sea is believed to be Japan's property). Therefore, it would fall under the UN and the related oil trade companies (read: Arab states), and the owning company for inspection and legal issues. BP reported it's security improperly by engineering legal wording, just like the explosion in 2005 located at Texas City. The only reason the United States is involved is because BP pretty much just destroyed Louisiana's entire coast and wetlands, along with other Gulf Coast states, for the next century.

And it's not like we're not trying to fix it up. Fuck, we have almost every able-bodied seaman offering assistance to the containment. The real problem is that no one has provided a solution, let alone diminished the problem; as each solution has so much conditioning that it has to go through just to get BP's permissions.

Also, regarding a different matter for the same problem, the quantity of oil being reported as being dumped into the ocean was manipulated as a gag order to the mass media --- which, by the way, was why there were no reporters allowed near the site for about a week and were not allowed to interview anyone who knew anything about the situation or someone that was at least familiar with what was happening --- and no official is willing to explain the major question marks about their QC paperwork.

After all, a derrick doesn't just work for several years and then break on a whim when it is supposed to be inspected regularly. This is a failure in respect to workmanship, and proactive planning for a very obvious risk in deep sea oil drilling.
