I would choose Damascus over ceramic myself, if only because they are sturdy and will last longer. In fact, any steel from Japan will be a little higher quality than some other places, due to the naturally higher carbon content.

Looks ok at a glance, I'll look into the parts more when I get back tonight - unless I have something better to do involving a certain female brunette of my acquaintance, and, yes, I am talking about a human female.

Um... some martial arts help, but generally you don't do the hand movements by themselves.

Religion should not be in school, and sex education should - I cannot see how those two things are equivalent. Apology accepted, no hard feelings here - it would not be the first time someone has made a mistake.

Well, I will write more later, but just to jump in here - I have cracked games and downloaded music, but only if I have already bought the titles. For instance, I play a "cracked" version of Bloodlines that simply has a different exe that makes it so you do not have to have the disk inserted while playing - thus preventing wear and tear on a disc that is no longer being produced. I still have to install from the original CDs -which I have copied to protect the originals, just as I did with my other rare/old games- and the only people who I have given the crack to already own a copy and just wanted to play without having to carry around the disks (especially those of use who play on laptops, it's a bitch carrying around a bunch of CDs that could break or get stolen). As for the music, it's a similar situation - although I mostly rip it off the original discs unless they are in such bad shape that they cannot be played.

I think we're alone - The Birthday Massacre

Don't pirate games if you want help from us.

I somehow went from visiting my parents to painting their shed - at least it's fairly small.

Actually, I have no problem with that - I have a friend who is a squat, long, brown haired version of her. what I mean is, Izzy actively practices about five martial arts, has done three more off-and-on, and plays competitive paintball. Edit: Izzy is on the right:

Yeah, you are going by the aforementioned stereotyped male caveman - "Me Ug, Ug not care for anything other then food and humping things." If that is true, then why cannot the female Exile be this: "Oh my, I just chipped my nail polish! Now let's stop our quest for a tea party and get manicures!" Both versions are equally insulting and unreasonable.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Because some will take the opportunity to spread harmful misinformation and dogma. The arrogance of that statement is nothing short of astounding. And more than a little scary. Its one thing to discuss what is taught in a public school. It is another all together to bring that into the privacy of the home. It is a parents right and duty to teach their children, no one has the right to tell them how to do it. The funny thing about freedom is everyone must have it or no one does. Your idiocy is astonishing - where did I ever say that parents should not be able to teach their children? What I did say, however, is that schools need to make sure that they, the children, know certain things that might, or might not, have been taught at home. Stop putting words in my mouth to further your views.

I just got home - but I was playing TF2.

The parents can educate the children as well, but the schools should provide a back-up just in case the mothers and fathers of America **** things up.

Because some will take the opportunity to spread harmful misinformation and dogma. Cultural diversity is a good thing... Not at the expense of the health of children. Because some will take the opportunity to spread harmful misinformation and dogma. And you don't think that some schools won't? No - but the chance of that happening is less. EDIT: I've got to go take my last final - but I'll be back later. If you have TF2 look for the sever I'll be running for a SoDOFF match around 4:00 EST.

Screw the code, it's not like I follow it in the rest of the game. Sure, if you wanted to be a "pure" Jedi you might follow it to some extent, but I almost always play as a Sith or non-affiliated-force-user.
