Of course not, but it still scarred me for life. Besides, equally disgusting situations have arisen from children meeting myspace predators in person.

How does that mean that we had to be in the war? I agree: he died before the attack on Pearl Harbor, after all. He also tried to pack the Supreme Court. The New Deal, however, was a pretty good way of dealing with the Great Depression, or at least is was much better than Hoover's "trickle down...

Ah, I see. Thanks. I won't be a jerk, then, by discussing my beliefs, given what I remember of him.

I'm surprised no one has said Andrew Johnson, the only U.S. president besides Clinton to ever be impeached.

I think that simply telling students they can't use myspace and telling parents to tell their kids not to use myspace is not only not helping the situation, but endangering the students. By simply banning the website instead of educating people on how to use them safely, they're not learning how to ...

Wow I'm surprised - I haven't been here in forever and my name is remembered! I'm touched!

Anyway, if my name is here, it might as well be known that my birthday is December 20th.

So, clearly I haven't kept up with the times: what's the deal with Han Tzu dying of a brain tumor?

I've seen Fight Club on almost everyone's list - let's just make that a default, because everyone knows it's amazing. Spaceballs is hilarious (and that said, I'm in love with Star Wars episodes IV, V and VI). I also love anything disney, Pride and Prejudice, Patch Adams, Spirited Away, and the Break...

I'll be 17 in December - I was like, 13 when I joined. Wow.

1. My argument was simply meant as an additional thing to think about - I had nothing else to say on health and crime issues, the rest of you seemed to be covering them well enough. 2. You're absolutely right that the government barely regulates (or not at all) what is put into cigarettes. However, ...

Although I can't legally drink yet either, my parents are HUGE wine buffs and I'll have a glass with dinner every once in a while. What I love most about wine is how well it goes with food, and trying to match up the right wines with the right foods. But in general, I love a good Russian River chard...

Putting health and crime issues aside, here's one interesting argument for the legalization of marijuana: Basically the biggest danger of smoking pot in countries where it's illegal is that one has to buy it from pretty shady people and smoke it in pretty sketchy places, leading to crime and dangero...

Hehe, only at Buckingham palace... at FAO Schwartz they're awesome Wink (although on a side note, when I go to London I definitely can't wait to be a jackass to the guards) Oh no, those guys must go through so much torture daily! When I went to London(in above picture) I couldn't make myself look a...

Me and my sister in London (I'm on the left). Heh, I think this is the first time I've put up my pic on pweb. Go me.

Having said all that, why the heck is evolution in high school science class anyway? It's not like the students have the theoretical background to understand it. My high school science classes involved the structure of cells and how electricity works, and stuff of that sort. Chem involved learning ...

The Rule of Four That was a good one! You stole my answer. I heard Dan Brown's next book is actually supposed to take place in the U.S., but that just makes it sound like that movie, National Treasure (which was a rip off of Dan Brown in the first place. Nice little paradox we have here). If you're...

*this strays slightly from the specific topic of ranking books, but is still totally Harry Potter related. i'll move it to a new thread if i must.* i went on a bit of a day-long Harry Potter binge today, as i didn't much feel like leaving my bed, and didn't exactly have to. so i trolled around onli...

I thought they didn't know whether or not he was flying the plane?

...the Spice Girls....



Man I miss them.

I would say creationism and evolution, but that comes dangerously close to intelligent design, which I do not believe in because there's no way to prove it (nor should it be taught in science classes at public schools - but that's an issue for another thread). Being agnostic, yet still being unable ...

Dear BOB, Welcome back, again. I guess I can't really say that because I haven't been on pweb for a few years at least, but still. I missed you, I missed the whole forum. My life is too busy. I think I'm addicted to success or work or something like that, because I just can't seem to get enough of i...

anyone read Harry Potter??? if you have and like that book you should read Cassandra Claire's fanfiction called Draco Dormiens the second is Draco Sinister the third is Draco Veritas (its a triligy) you will have to search for it cuz i dont remember the link... oops... but she is comming out with a...

That's actually really interesting, because, even though I'm an agnostic, I grew up Jewish and I still go to synagogue on the high holy days. One of the things my rabbi is always telling us is that "doubt is an act of faith," but then again, this synagogue is so progressive it's not even p...

And at the root of that paralysis I find cowardice. I feel like that kind of skepticism is grounded on a fear of being wrong. But any intellectual work has the danger of being wrong. Intellectual honestly means that we need to be open to being corrected if our error is pointed out to us, but—to m...

Phew, I feel much better now. Craig, you used to be Alai, right? I remember having this huge debate with you on whether or not it was possible to take the world over through the internet, and I definitely remember Hegemon and Peters_Girl. Wow that was a long time ago.

Oh I haven't posted on pweb in a couple of years, but I used to be one of the top posters (::glows with former pride:: ).

Wow. Okay. I thought I was going nuts or people had decided they hated me for some reason and deleted my account. Thanks for telling me.

So...I'm back.

I could agree to a topic like that.

Actually, sorry if I've missed something; I haven't been on pweb in a loooong time, so what exactly happened on september 26th that made my account get deleted? And does this mean that there is now a ye olde pweb 1 and a ye olde pweb 2?
