Don't read the ass and breast threads if you don't like the content. You know what is going to be in there. Or do you feel the need to read every thread on the board?
 
Some people enjoy being directed to the existence of new boobs they have never seen. You could use your logic and say "why do you feel the need to talk about new bands. There is pandora, myspace, youtube, etc". Every piece of information on this board is available somewhere else on the internet.

How about this -- How long does the "official Ebay craziness thread" have to get before it get's stickied?

So, so sad.
 
My take on this, which is meant to be a general comment on all these shootings and not directed at this specific one -- an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Gun control laws are not the answer. They are the way of an impatient American who wants something done now but for the least amount of personal sacrifice.
 
We need teachers with smaller class sizes to help them no the children / young adults better. Then, hopefully, they can identify kids who are having problems and help them. We need after school programs with funding so that kids with troubled backgrounds can get into music and sports and such. We need to think about the 6 year old right now who was unfortunate to be born with shitty parents or a genetic predisposition who might do something like this 10 years down the line, not how to take a gun away from someone we have already turned into a maniac.
 
Not a knock on any specific teachers, I had some great ones. I also had some people that I think just chose it because they had to pick a major in college and didn't know what else to be. Teacher should be up there in desirable jobs with businessman, engineer, and nurse, with pay that reflects it. Right now we pay them fairly shitty salaries, so we attract people who are not the best people to teach our children, even though it is arguably the most important job to the advancement of our society (good teachers are the starting point to creating good scientists and politicians and everything else). Instead we make laws and build prisons, which don't deter criminals or terrorists and don't solve the root issues.
 
Kids spend half their life with their parents and half with their teachers. We can't make people better parents. We can improve the other half of their lives. Just have to be willing to pay a little more in taxes to do it (maybe not, depending on how many prisons, courts, and police officers we would no longer need).

I love my tigers but the Angels had a better record than them, and didn't even qualify for the wild card. Signing Hamilton took a couple wins away from Texas, and added them to the Angels. Should be a playoff team, and that's all you can do -- get in and hope you get hot at the right time.

I'll go vegan for it

So it's a label that is into creating ridiculously limited variants that he ebays for big money (sometimes) and a label that is all about the music and not collecting. Wonder how that washes out.

I could have probably recited that conversation pretty much completely but I watched anyways

The Rangers finally succeeded in getting rid of Michael Young after failing to appreciate him for 10 years.

I'm taking all 100 of my 7th grade students to see this on Friday because we just finished reading the novel in class. They're excited, I'm excited. Everything is coming up Milhouse!!!

Also you way oversold this as "wild". This is a generic paypal thread that pops up semi-frequently (or something on the same level).

Shouldn't you watch it after?

I just really like Peter Jackson's movies. Maybe I'm a fanboy. Liked King Kong, Lovely Bones, Frighteners, which didn't get near the reception of LOTR. Meet the Feebles isn't very good.
Also, I believe I remember reading that the academy would have given Fellowship the best picture award but they made a decision for the good of the awards (not having it win 2, maybe 3 years in a row) to wait until Return of the King. At least it got one. Deserved it.
This thread may have inspired me to go back and watch those extended version DVDs (the ones that kinda look like books) that I bought and have never watched.

Shouldn't you watch it after?

Can't wait. The LOTR movies are so good.

I like being big and strong (work very hard at it), no protein in veggies, and soy turns into estrogen in the body (and I don't want bitch titties). So I eat meat. It's what evolution pushed me to. I'm all for responsibly cultivating that meat and ethically slaughtering the animals, though.
The fast food argument is a whole different story.

I am 100% loyal to playstation. Can't wait for that.

I am in the market for a power rack. Just waiting for something to pop up on craigslist that is close to me. I don't pay retail for gym equipment.
For carbs / no carbs, this can answer the question in much better detail than what I could say. You can eat carbs or not eat carbs, but if you go the no carbs route, you have to understand why it works and how to do it right. It's kinda all or nothing.

As for turkey / chicken, both are good. If you are worried about a difference in fat between the two, you are worrying about fat intake too much. You want some fat in your diet. Chicken might be TOO lean in some cases (on a bulk or when entering a state of ketosis).
And last comment, fruit as complex carbs? No way. 15 grams of sugar in a cup of blueberries. Yes, they are full of nutrients, fiber, and there are MUCH worse foods that you could eat than fruit. But I am pretty sure there are no nutrients in fruit you can't get from veggies and I cover my bases with a multivitamin anyways. My eating has definitely gotten healthier as I've gotten older (I'm 26 now) and I've gotten to the point where I'll just eat plain broccoli (whereas before if I even ate broccoli I was covering it is shredded cheese, dipped half my food in ranch, etc). Same thing with spinach, asparagus, etc. All the nutrient benefits of fruit with half the calories and more fiber. I don't touch fruit. That's just me though.

Rambo,
The short answer is "it is better than nothing".
The long answer is that the more methodical your approach, the better your results will be. Serious bodybuilders manage their bodies like machines. They weigh their food, set goals for all the nutrients they will take in and hit them consistently, bulk and cut, etc. The more care you take in planning, the better your results will be. So, if you have chosen the pull-up as your arm exercise (I like the barbell curl and overhead press, but both have their place) a better idea would be to fork $20 for the iron gym and do it right. Do it every 3 days, set a reachable goal for each set, and do 5 sets when you have time (during a tv show, for example). Maybe set a timer to go off on your phone every 5-10 minutes so the sets are evenly spaced. Then push to get that number of pull-ups / set up.
Good to see you are sticking with this.

Also, chicken is money. Nothing wrong with frying it once in a while, though. Not to sound like a broken record, but your body needs a calorie surplus to grow. Gotta have protein, fat, and carbs (or you can do no carbs, but you gotta do it right).
There are also some articles out there along the lines of "if you could only take one supplement, it should be fish oil". Omega-3 fats are huge for building muscle, our immune system, and just overall health in general. Read anything on the subject from google if you want to know specifics. Very inexpensive as well.

I was expecting a lot more

"baby needs colostrum" was effing ridiculous!!
