haha, nice

What you say is true, yet the thread id is 1002. I must investigate this...

</philosoraptor>

279 and 280 don't exist. My best guess is that they were double posts that I deleted. That or someone has hacked their way into the database and is now fucking with me. Let's hope it was the former.

whoa.. evil intruders playing with threads?? how dare they!! this should have been celebrated 2 threads ago!!

1000 threads, we made it! Ok we're done, we can go home now.

NIGGA WHAT

Threads: 1,001

What the hell. We have a thousand threads already, no need for more. Recycle!

who? why? how dare they.. i'll hunt them down and eat there face's!!

and on another note i just hit number 100 on HoF =) yayzor!!

It's too bad that 25% of those threads are in suggestions. And about 80% of those suggestions aren't going to happen.

On the other hand, roughly 10% of all posts are mine. So it's not all bad ;)

That explains my wet dream the other night about a girl named Jans!! This forum is mindprogramming Jans into our heads :)

I made another guy cream his pants, w00t!

I'd make an ugly chick btw ;)

eww.. if i was a chick i'd be megan fox =) yes, thats how good i look.

I kinda pictured you as a Courtney Love..

DO NOT MENTION THAT WHORES NAME!!! She killed my hero..

In case someone here doesn't know who Kurt Cobain is, I'll fill you in.

Kurt was the leader of the late 80's, early 90's rock band, Nirvana. When he was a child, he was happy until about the age of 9, where his parents had a gritty divorce. From this time to when he was about 17 or 18, he was switched around from his relatives' houses'. He had become withdrawn, antisocial, and depressed. He was sickened with macho-jock types of people that surrounded him at high-school, and he only really made friends with girls.

He dropped out of high-school two months before graduation, this move angered his family so much that they kicked him out. He was forced to live off of food from the hospitals and salvation army, and even occasionally slept under a bridge near his house.

Kurt had created many bands, and finally ended up with Nirvana...Who turned out to be a huge sucess in 1992.But that's not what this story is about.. ----

Kurt had been seeing Courtney Love around 1992, and he impregnated her. He was excited about being a father, and, though not really loving Courtney, braved commitment and married her.

Fast Forward about two years, April 8th, Kurt had been in a rehab center in Rome after an incident that happened (I'll explain). He left the rehab, and went missing for several days. Courtney had told people that he was suicidal and depressed, especially the last few weeks. She ordered an electrician to work on the alarm system in the Cobains' greenhouse outside of their home in Seattle. The electrician found the doors to be 'barricaded' with a stool. He saw the feet of a male on the ground. After some investigating, he recognized it as Kurts' body.

When the police department arrived, the scene depicted a suicide. Kurt had put the barrel of a shotgun in his mouth and fired, supposedly. A note was at the scene, and the police put the case to the side with now further investigating, stating that it was suicide. Here are the facts.

1. The door wasn't blocked by a stool.

2. Kurt had three times a lethal dosage of heroin in his body at the time of the autopsy, which would mean that he would have been incapacitated or dead as soon as it went into his system. He couldn't have picked up a shotgun and killed himself, let alone put the paraphernellia in a neat box to the side.

3. The gun had no fingerprints on it, Kurt had no gloves on...Hmmm.

4.Someone had tried using Kurts' credit card after he was pronounced dead.

5. The 'suicide' note didn't seem very suicidal... Most of it spoke of him leaving the music business, the fame and pressure was too much on him... The last four lines, however, read something like, 'I love you Courtney, please keep going, for Frances (their'daughter). I'll be at your' altar." But, handwriting experts have proved that these lines weren't in Kurts' handwriting.

This should be well enough for someone to realize that suicide was impossible..

now you understand...

yanks & their conspiracy theories ...

I think Charlie Sheen had a great one after 911 ...

What's wrong with conspiracy theories?

yanks?

im an aussie... and i've never been more insulted in my life.. =)

I'd rather be a yank and have the majority of the money in the world than some dirty european.

aussies are just strange, explains why you are offended.

ahaha? the aussie dollar is now higher than your american dollar =) and we are the most laid back people in the world bro, and no, i wouldn't want to be a dirty european OR a yank.. AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!! OI OI OI!! =)

I just say that we have more money. Anyways, our currency is only not as good as it once was because of our extensive trading with China and they way they control their currency inflation fucks everyone in the arse.

Nooo.(well maybe to some extent) buuut its coz some towlheads, trained by your government i believe, stole some plains and flew them into your world trade center. your dollar has been flimsy at best since then, and if not flimsy still nowhere near as strong as it was.

Lol, if you think it's because of the WTC and 9/11, you are most definitely wrong.

tbh, our country would probably have 10-20% more wealth if there wasn't any piracy of software around the world.

im not, but its okay. you guys got fucked, you can admit it.
You know most americans believe that they won the vietnam war?

Did we lose?

iirc, we just got tired of pouring money/men into it and left.

ahaha, LOL, dude dont get all american about it, aussie's had troops there to, but we got pwned, everyone did and everyone left, because we couldnt fight the vietcong in there jungles and all there tiny little poxy tunnels.

But yes. The Vietnam War was lost, But most americans believe they won it. Maybe being the so called leaders of the free world has made america arrogant?

I like how threads on these forums get derailed so easily. It's like people are trying to get GET posts

~FinalWorld

^ yes maybe they are.. if you dont mind we were having a conversation? any of you ever had a real conversation?(the people who complain and bitch when someone goes off topic) BECAUSE THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE AN ACTUAL CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE!!

American history books don't even list the vietnam and korean 'wars' as wars.

Technically, they are right because Congress never officially declared war. It gets classified as a military action or some sort.

Well technacalities aside, you still lost, and its still called the vietnam WAR.

The Vietnam war started because American president Eissenhower did not want communism to spread throughout the world and eventually to America.


Vietnam had been a French colony (French Indo-China) before the World Wars, and the French weren't about to let go gracefully.

As noted by the poster above, the French lost control about the time the US was fighting Communism in Korea, in the 1950's. The country was partitioned into Communist North and Democratic South, with China was actively supporting the Communist government of the North.

The US saw Vietnam as Korea all over again, and feared that the entire Southeast of Asia would be lost to the Communist block, much as Eastern Europe had.

However, as Korea hadn't been a screaming sucess for the US, there was a great deal of reluctance to start up a new military action immediately after the armstice of the Korean War. Eisenhower's plan was to train and equip the South with military advisors, but over time, predictably, this led to active involvement with lots and lots of US troops.

But surprisingly, no actual declaration of war. It was a "police action".

The war(or police action) actually ended in April 1975 when the North Vietnamese took Saigon and the South Vietnamese government fell. The US part of the war ended with the truce in Jan. 1973. It took about 4 1/2 years to work out a settlement for the US to withdraw. American support personnel and embassy staff was in Vietnam until the very end until the North Vietnamese were taking over. There are dramatic pictures of helicopters getting American workers out and hundreds of South Vietnamese who worked for the Americans trying to scramble onto helicopters before the North Vietnamese got to them.

grats on going to wikipedia and copy/paste?

cheers, =) and would you wanna type all that? oh, grats on bein an american lol. still think ya won that war? or that america is awesome? America is about as useful as an ash tray on a motorbike.

I never said we won, I just debated that fact that it was actually a war.

well even if its not technicaly a war in americas history it is everywhere else.

How fucked up is that? America just comes on in to thier country and start shooting people because of the way they live there lives and the way the countrys government is run? Sounds more like hate crimes to me than an actual war.. so maybe your right and it wasnt a war.. maybe it was just murder?

Well, you can call it a war if your government declared war but you can't list US as a participant in your 'war' because we didn't call it one.

So I suppose you were against the ousting of saddam hussein, cause that is basically what happened there.

Oh look, people on the Internet dumping on the US again...

but you can't list US as a participant in your 'war' because we didn't call it one.

So I suppose you were against the ousting of saddam hussein, cause that is basically what happened there.

Firtsly- you sound like a kid trying to shift blame, America might not have called it a war. but a war it was. even if it wasnt declared. two armies fighting each other is a war, even if they were fighting agianst guirilla warfare tactics, AND, WE WERE IN THERE FUCKING COUNTRY.

Secondly- No, not really. im agianst they in which it was done. because it made america look like they were just after oil. Oh, we're lookin for nukes! what? you say you dont have any? damn!

Yeah? Nice one ender. Not. but yes, im bagging america, coz i can. someone bag australia =) go on..

Oh look, people on the Internet dumping on the US again...

and it was a conversation mate =)

lol. blame is blame, I'm just listing my opinions and facts.

Also, how can you argue against the route that was taken to appease political routes to achieve the goal? We would have never gone in there otherwise. Chances are President Bush said knew there was a slim chance of nukes being found but who cares when it ousts someone with a human rights record like saddam hussein?

On the topic of bashing the others country, whats the deal with your country banning firearms. How's that higher than every crime rate? Turns out, criminals don't follow laws. zing?

Firstly- lol. blame is blame, I'm just listing my opinions and facts.(same =) but opinions differ)

Secondly- saddam hussein.. he's gone. im over it. he was a big douche,


Thirdly- Now where gettin somwhere =) haha, alright, Semi-Auto and Automatic Firearms are illegal, But we can still go and get a Rifle license and buy a .308 Rifle(a really big one) or .44 Magnum(that would blow your face off) BUT, we have strict gun laws, when the firearm isnt in use it needs to be in a locked metal cabinet with a serial number and it needs to be bolted to a concrete floor, AND we dont have very many shootings in australia, they do happen- say a couple of months ago two guys broke into a house and hit a guy in the ead with a hammer and his flat mate pulled his leaver action .22 out and shot both of them =)

>>Secondly- saddam hussein.. he's gone. im over it. he was a big douche,

But he would still be a big douche in power if it wasn't for the good 'Ole USA stepping in and footing a 40b price tag and cappin' his ass.

Secondly, who cares about australia? Name 3 important things out of australia

I have to say I don't mind seeing a little political discussion however wrong, biased, naive or irrelevant it is.

What is important to me as an Australian, I can't speak for everyone just myself.
My family.
My friends.
The freedom and lifestyle I enjoy.
The "it'll be right" attitude.
The fact that we all live happily in a society that, for the most part, has no interest in the colour of anyone's skin or their religion etc.
The lack firearms in Australia.
The low crime rate compared to many other countries.
Anzac Day and what it means to me.
My health and the availability of world class health care.(unlike america lol)
The fact that I have access to a variety and abundance of good quality food and clean water.
Sense of humour - to be able to laugh at yourself.
Helping others less fortunate.

i love my country.


As to your actual question(things to come out of australia) well, beer, meat, and aussies

I have to say I don't mind seeing a little political discussion however wrong, biased, naive or irrelevant it is.

Well jump in Bro =) i dont care what side you take, Join the discussion!

>>The fact that we all live happily in a society that, for the most part, has no interest in the colour of anyone's skin or their religion etc.


lol, white 92%, Asian 7%, aboriginal and other 1% (source: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/as.html)

Lets not forget the history of your country and how they treated the aboriginals. It isn't like you have the cleanest slate in the book.


Oh, also the fact that your country is mostly the same religion(or none) could be the reason no one cares about what everyone else's religion is.


I also fail to see 3 important(original) things that came OUT of australia.

Level 100, are you implying that we are wrong in some way or are you saying you just enjoy any political conversation?

To anybody who doubts Australia's inherent worth in terms of some superficial, misguided 'nothing important comes out of there' observation, I point you in the direction of the Australian mining industry.

More biased/deluded than wrong.

^
Bedown, why dint i think of that? i live on the west fuckin coast.. ugh!

Lets not forget the history of your country and how they treated the aboriginals. It isn't like you have the cleanest slate in the book.

i cant say anything to make that go away, but look at the american idians?

I wasn't claiming that we were perfect, that was your claim on your country.

Oh, also the fact that your country is mostly the same religion(or none) could be the reason no one cares about what everyone else's religion is.

Catholic 25.8%, Anglican 18.7%, Uniting Church 5.7%, Presbyterian and Reformed 3%, Eastern Orthodox 2.7%, other Christian 7.9%, Buddhist 2.1%, Muslim 1.7%, other 2.4%, unspecified 11.3%, none 18.7% (2006 Census)

not once did i say we were perfect, i said i love my country.

Catholic 25.8%, Anglican 18.7%, Uniting Church 5.7%, Presbyterian and Reformed 3%, Eastern Orthodox 2.7%, other Christian 7.9% = 63.8% aka christian

So yeh, my point still stands.

http://www.dfat.gov.au/aib/trade_investment.html

your point means nothing.

they may all be some sort of christian, but its obviosly not the same is it? or it would have said 63.8 percent christian

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)

12 or 13th on every one, my point invalids your point.

Yes, fundamentally it's the same.

Tim Minchin

Timothy David Minchin [2] (born 7 October 1975 in Northampton, UK[1])

Oh lol :)
But when you think about it, all aussies are UK-rejects.

lol, zing!

Tim Minchin (born 1975) is an Australian comedian, actor, composer, songwriter, pianist, musical director and a self proclaimed rock ‘n’ roll megastar.

He was born in Northampton, England, and grew up in Perth, Western Australia. He attended UWA (University of Western Australia) before launching onto the world stage at the 2005 Edinburgh Fringe Festival by winning the Best Newcomer Perrier Comedy Award.

lol, whats america then? same same bro, you guys were an english colonie too.

We weren't convicts.

With a difference though, Australia got the prisoners. America got the religious nutcases.

nutcase is just a perspective. criminal is criminal.

so? whats that prove? that aussie will kick your ass coz were all hardened criminals =)

Cant change the fact that we both started as english colonies. well, we may be a bit more irish =)

oh, there has to be a point to it? i wasnt making one :)

What? im a point.

Draoi, in citing the GDP table, do you actually understand what it means/what you are 'invalidating'? Or are you simply looking at gross economic markers that Australia doesn't rank high in and thinking 'Well they are lower than us so we're better'?

This is what I meant when I said misguided.

He was talking up his country, I talked his down. I don't see anything else is relevant.

but do you understand what your saying? wow, your country may have more money.. but you got more people duh, its evident you will have more money. but our dollar is higher, meaning our economy is better.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita

Per capita, Aus > USA

But i'm sure that's irrelevant as well ;)

USA beat us on the world bank list woop.

International Monetary Fund (2010)

7 Australia

9 United States

World Bank (2009)[2

11 United States

16 Australia

CIA World Factbook

6 Australia

12 United States

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita

I can copy/paste links too from wikipedia too! But the real difference is, do you know what the difference is between the two without looking it up?

You picked nominal, so, so did i.

:)

Dragon, I am somewhat sticking up for Australia, so trust me when I tell you to stop saying 'we have a higher dollar so our economy is better'. Put simply it is wrong.

hehe, your own mates are turning on you!

I'm not a big fan of the whole 'my country is better than yours' discussion, but one thing I will add to the Aus vs US debate is that

Australian sport > dogshit > American sport

That is all.

Yes, ya'll are very good at basketball. (lol)

My point was that Australian sport is more diverse and interesting than American sport, not that we are necessarily better at any of your 'sports'.

Pat, you just catalysed a whole new level of discussion.

Please elaborate on how it is more diverse.

I in no way support the USA or like it as a country. But the fact is that Australias economy could be considered one state in the USA. I hate to admit it but all of Canadas economy could be comprised into the state of Texas. But our dollar changes a lot of things like trade what not you should be unhappy your dollar is higher then the Americans because it means there spending in your country will be substantially less. But that being said although they have a much more massive economy then the rest of us they also have a lot more debt from the people to the actual government.

Sorry :p Sport doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things though does it? Carry on with your former discussion :]

I'm actually surprised it didn't get to sport sooner. Once it gets there though it's always the same bland discussion:

'Rugby is heaps better than gridiron, you wear protection pussies!'
'Cricket is shit!'

And so on and so forth.

If I had my way the USA would stop sending aid to countries other than ourselves. Everyone hates on America but all we do is give money you people when your shit hits the fan.

So why all the hate? :(

Ok just a quick one for you Draoi; we have any number of sports to pick from: AFL, rugby league/union, cricket, soccer, golf, tennis, surfing, motorsport, etc. etc., all of which have their own intrigues and intricacies.

You guys play... baseball, basketball, ice hockey and NFL? lol

I love how you just explained how you know nothing about other countries and their sports.

Ok. Baseball is cricket for dummies. Basically you swing the bat as hard as you can and pray it connects. There's no defense/decision making, it's just hit and run. Basketball, eh I have to admit I hate the sport, regardless of the fact we also play it to some extent. I find it would be a fun game to play and all, but watching it is like watching grass grow. NFL is its own unique sport I'll grant you, but I don't believe that it is any better than any of the football codes we have in Australia. [insert argument about Americans and pads and helmets here]. Finally ice hockey, well it has similarities to soccer in that there are goals and players pass the ball/puck to each other, but much fewer countries play it.

Now would you kindly explain how American sport is better? :)

Well, you've seem to have forgotten nascar. I will leave it to you what you think about that.

Oh, also, motorcross.

We are much smaller, smaller GDP and smaller population. Australia's economy is still booming however, whilst america's is shrinking, mainly because of War expenditure (and frightfully bad economic management over the last 8 years). Australia is in the fortunate position though to be geographically in Asia which means that we avoid a lot of the negative effects of the american economy, having stable trading plans with India and China for natural resources. At this point, Australia's boom is primarily due to resources, namely, selling Uranium, unfortunately this is a finite resource, so the party will have to end eventually.


So that, is the end of that. Both parties win. as to Level 100, dont even know the bloke. And Draoi, nascar is NOT a sport, its driving.

Us humans are incredibly weird. Drawing imaginary lines across the face of the earth, and then arguing about which side of the line is better. Also, taking pride because your mother pooped you out within a certain set of lines is rather sad when you think about it.

That said, arguing on the internet is fun. Carry on ;)

i enjoy arguing on the net lol, and you were pooped out? eww, but hole baby..

yo, fuck you dragon!!

i will eat you alive you homeless fuck

My day will kick your dads arse!

my dogs better than your dog coz your dogs got kennel rash!!

yeah, well my cat will maul your cat!

my cat is a rhino.. called cat..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQd9kuXpUYU

aww that poor cat being attacked by satan's minions :(

its fucked aye, i spun out.. like WHY?? WHY ARE YOU ALL DOING THIS?? LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!

Fuck that mortal kombat vid, the cat vid was the best 3 mins of my day :p

Scary how those black creatures worked together.. But very entertaining vid ^^ Soundtrack was awesome too.

indeed, and yes it was creepy two crows by the look and a black cat... the cat fight itself was fucking intense, slingin each other around n shit

bluei you did't comment on my nascar stuff :(

You didn't explain how American sport was better ;) I asked first!

nascar is NOT a sport, its driving.

Sport entails physical exertion. Granted it requires SKILLS, but requiring skill alone doesn't make it a sport. im skilled(very skilled) at smokin da gunja, but that doesn't make smoking weed a sport, or being skilled at video games doesn't make playing video games a sport.

Ya battyboy.

hey? that guy knows what he's talkin about ^^ =)

Has it really come to this? You need to reply to your own posts to get a decent answer? Sad.

I think the only reason someone watch nascar, is because they wanna see someone crash & burn.

I think the only reason someone watch nascar

if ya gunna chip someone make sure you make sense. and on another note, YA BUMBOCLOT =)

Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't under the impression I had to prove that American sport was better, just that you didn't know anything about American sports so your judgement was flawed. To me, it just appears that you think we only play sports that are widely televised and commercialized.

i didnt say amercan sport was better or worse nor did i say australian sport was? i just said nascar isn't a sport.

wasn't commenting toward you

OOOoooOoOOOOOoooooOOooO!! doesn't change the fact your sport sucks, =) AFL players would run circles around your gridiron players,

lol, right. Getting hit by a NFL linebacker is akin to getting hit by a 25mph car. All your fairy players would get carried off the field.

all our fairy players wouldn't get a scratch lol, gridiorn players wouldn't even be able to keep pace bro.

why do you call it gridiron, its football.

Football is a generic term that can be used for any sport involving the feet. In Australia we could use it to refer to rugby union/league, AFL and soccer. Gridiron or NFL is a more specific term, so we tend to refer to it as that.

Oh and with regards to collisions in the NFL, let's not forget you guys use padding and helmets. I'm pretty sure you'll find there are similar if not bigger collisions in rugby league (and to a lesser extent union), where the players have no protection but their jerseys. It's easy to run at someone full speed when you know you've got something to cushion the blow, it's another to do it knowing you'll be hurt.

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and they're like, it's better than yours.

American reference, thus, we are better.

We win, as usual.

Rugby league is tougher than NFL.

In comparing the g-forces involved, I believe NFL players do hit marginally harder (I have looked at a couple of articles pertaining to this topic) but this does not make up for $$$ worth of protection and as Pat said knowledge of this protection when making a hit. Whilst it is clear in my mind who wins that particular argument, feel free to continue debating, but you overlook one important thing; 80 minutes of continuous play in attack and defence. It really puts NFL to shame.

Hey, who do you think would win in a fight between Aquaman and Mer-Man?

Like, Aquaman has speed, power and telepathy, but Mer-Man controls all sea life. So i guess Mer-man has the advantage, but what if Aquaman uses his telepathic powers to make sea creatures turn on Mer-man?

Your attempt to ridicule the situation through allegory is gratuitous as the two sports have tangible, comparable, statistically significant features.

Thank you :)

As long as you know :)

Seriously though, who would win?

Oh sometimes i kill myself ;)

i vote aquaman, coz mer-man is queer. and again, yes an NFL player would demolish an AFL player IF he could catch him, which is unlikely at best

Sir, I would appreciate it if you would direct yourself toward ender's comment on http://bots4.net/forum/4/1024

Thank you and goodbye!

:)

Sir, you can put three of your fingers together, then ram shove and push them straight up your coit, you OBVIOUSLY saw MY personal thread. Done and dusted mate, anything else? -cough cough- bumboclot!
