Today. Not a good day for me.

Tomorrow's not looking so hot either.

Just started really following it. I've been haranguing (spelling? no, I can't) facebook users for several days about the ones I like. Anyone else read/reading it?

For pertinence: http://xkcd.com/241/ I was pleased to discover Randall Munroe is a fan.

P3+J3^u! I will tackle reading your two huge post, after I look up terms like liberal, conservative, right wing, and left wing. I read like five paragraphs, then I couldn't go on. Any other words I should look up, before attempting to analyze all this information? People like you should be kept in ...

From the way I had been raised, I had previously been led to believe that the only "correct" Christian doctrine was exact and specific interpretation of the Bible--Old Testament commands not to eat pork were bypassed with quotes from Christ about the irrelevancy of those commandments, and ...

I got my AP scores, and am now officially a sophomore in college.

That's a personal triumph I completely understand. Awesome.

Psh. Come to Texas. Our beaches have brown water. It's a pretty big tourist-attractor.

Our beaches also have brown beaches.

Howdy.

uhmm....only the ones you don't know? Later in the post I elaborate more on what "liberal" and "conservative" are (right wing is synonymous with conservative, left wing with liberal). In fact, I periodically use terms in the post before explaining them, only to familiarize you wi...

*yay! double post* DISCLAIMER NO. 2: This is mostly about socialism. American Democrats/liberals usually aren't full-blown socialists; they don't think they want America to become a socialist economy, like the U.S.S.R. was, or they're not aware of how programs like Social Security or requiring gover...

Just took a US History class last school year, though, due to Hurricane Ike and the AP Test, the later years of our history had to be hurredly(don't know if that's a real word) taught. As in, we watched a movie about the 80s and 90s. Wasn't enough for me to actually absorb the information. And, sin...

It would be helpful to know how much you already know. Have you taken Government/US History classes? Do you know that Republicans are conservative and Democrats are liberal, and have any idea what philosophies these are generally tied to? Are you familiar with Libertarianism and Populism? I was look...

Well, it's the only riddle I've ever come up with, and I like it, so it's easy enough for me to remember.

Hey, um, P3! Welcome to the forum! I look forward to forgetting how to shorten your name every time I type it.

An opportunity I hope to bestow on a great many more members. And thanks!

Also, thanks, Gravity Defier! Sorry I didn't see your reply till now

You aren't doing SMU Lyle Engineering, are you? Because they sent me a shirt! Nope, I am! I'm doing their Co-op summer program with a company in Dallas, mostly programming in .NET VB. Although it wasn't "Lyle" Engineering when I started. Still getting used to that. What did they send you ...

Where in the DFW area are you from? I'm from McKinney.

Just across the street from SMU, which is where I go to school.

Okay. I'm writing a reflective essay on this quote Isn't it true that the smallest package in this world is a man wrapped up in himself? I interpreted it as meaning that people who aren't always selfishly thinking about themselves, but about affecting others, are a gift to the world. However, I wou...

In case you didn't read the title of the thread, induce anything about me due to its location, or check my post count before reading this, I'm new here. So...hi. One of my first orders of business was to do a search on the forum for Homeworld. Didn't find what I was looking for. I did see a video ga...
