that makes me sad, as the "Hot Soup" joke is less amusing now. Nah, still works. From the keyboard of Orson Scott Card himself: [me: (something to the effect of) How do you pronounce Han Tzu? Your short story says it is "Han Ze" but your books suggest "Tzu" since his n...

for those of you who were spanked as children, and refuse to do it to your own future children. lemme pose to you these questions: do you hate who you are? are you screwed up solely due to the spankings of your youth? do you hate your parents for having spanked you when you were bad? did you learn ...

So sad, what they did to the new movies. Such a tragedy.

What do you think would happen if someone tried to secede from the US today? It wouldn't fly.

The south was probably justified in seceding, but I'm still glad they failed. Tricky topic.

Seriously though, I asked a question, and OSC answered me today! I got an answer! From OSC! w00000ttt!!!

By the way, Han Tzu is pronounced Han Ze (zay) not Zoo

I can't remember, but doesn't Ender write letters to Val even though he knows she won't get them? What if he was writing a letter and voiced it over?

Sorry to hear that :( I'm pretty lucky. At 16 I've got one of the best jobs I could ask for before I graduate college. $8.50 an hour and doing something I love. It's not a whole lot of work, but it's really nice since my schedule there is so flexible, and it needs to be what with school and stuff. I...

After the age of about 10, spanking becomes inappropriate and abusive. It is sometimes impossible to reason with a small child, but as they get older, other forms of punishment become more appropriate. If you are being injured or abused at home, I do urge you to speak to a guidance counsellor or ca...

However, if you roll one dice your odds of getting a 7 are: 0 out of 6 = 0 and your odds of getting a number are: 6 out of 6 = 1 This logic is flawed. First you assume that the die in question is six-sided, yet you did not define it, so I'd say the chances that it's not are around 1/10, a decent en...

And now for my opinion. I'm beginning to agree a little bit with some of you that it could possibly be beneficial in some cases, when it is used properly. However, I doubt anyone's ability to maintain the level of self-control necessary for it. I know that in my own life, I have been over-punished, ...

I find it highly ironic and hilarious that if you DON'T filter your results, you don't see that.

Which one's the seventh for you filtering folk?

luminousnerd

Given that the universe is expanding, infinite and that we exist, I would say that the chance of their being intelligent life in the universe is 1. Even if you don't count life on earth. Anyways, it's debatable if humans are actually 'intelligent' :wink: 1 out of what? 1%? o__O I mean sentient, the...

The sixth puppy is defacating! I find that highly offensive! And this is why I always google with the filters off... You're missing out on five cute puppies just by filtering your results. The pooing one is number 12 for me. "Every time you filter your google results, God kills five puppies&qu...

I said most probably are, because life spent so much time in that form on Earth, and since all life would likely start off at that level, all life at least was, if it isn't still. That doesn't mean there wouldn't be advanced races. I missed the word most from your last post. I understand your reaso...

Personally I am pretty ignorant to science. But from what I understand about the theories there are to how life started, I think it's fairly ignorant for someone to say there's no life on other planets. If you are religious and believe religiously that we are the only ones, that's one entirely diffe...

Dear dad, You are a god damn mother f****** a******. You constantly accuse me of not taking responsibility for my actions. And it's always bullshit. I am always very apologetic when I do something wrong. But when you do something wrong, your words are "I had nothing to do with it". YOU LOC...

I know it seems ridiculous of me to retort when I asked you to do it, but honestly he was a jerk to me, I don't know many people who wouldn't be a jerk back.

Um, yes a good example, I'm afraid. America is very different throughout, and many people of one region don't like the people of another. Sure, it's not the same as the situation in the middle east, but the feeling is the same: you wouldn't like people stomping all over your backyard and taking lib...

luminousnerd

That's absolutely ridiculous. Who do Americans and Europeans think they are? You can't just redraw the borders of a couple countries, apply them, and say, "ho-urr, wasn't that supposed to work?" How would *you* feel if Iran marched into your backyard and said, "So. We're, like, in it...

luminousnerd

Because often, you come off as somewhat obnoxious.

Sorry about that. Let me know when I do it and I'll try to avoid it.

luminousnerd

That's interesting. I agree with your diagnosis, so to speak. On one hand it really sucks that America wouldn't let that happen. On the other hand, I can see where they're coming from. A united organization that hated America really wouldn't be good, when America's government is so fragile. And whil...
