Tyler. Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I need to read some of those facts now poor, poor squirrel well, Ryan India has over 1.1 billion people, and America has 300 million there is also a younger average age in India Quote
Spritzie Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 *dances into the topic* Hullo HOP-ers! *distributes cookies* How is everyone today? ^_^ YAY! I'm been craving some sugar. It's Chocolate Chip, right? :D I'm pretty darned happy, thank you. :D It'll be evident why in a bit. YAY! Again. Congrats :D Oh! Why thank you. That wasn't why, but thank you all the same. ^_^ YAYx3! I'm so excited for you. I can't wait to see your first written something. (: EDIT: Somehow, by quoting Livvy, I nearly over-loaded on smilies. Quote
Unstream Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 :O Livvy, you're gonna be part of the Content Team? Congrats! :thumbsup: (Oh, and for the 7k posts too). This is the first time I've looked at the HOP board in over a month. Guess I was just lucky to have happened upon this, otherwise I never would've known that :P I doubt that 55% of Americans don't know that the sun is a star. Y'know what Twain said, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Guys guys guys guys guys! Look! *points* I'm GREEN! *dances happily* *heart attack* *sigh* Congrats... That really is an epic facepalm. Sorry, but average Americans are not the smartest bunch. I don't blame you for saying that. America sucks, and so does most of the citizens. Quote
antiaircraft Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Hey, it can't be that bad - I mean, some of you Americans were smart enough to join TDN, right? :P Yeah but that's not as cool as knowing how cracking your knuckles doesn't really cause arthritis. Yeah, everyone would tell me how I'd have arthritis because I crack ALL my joints, but then my doctor said, "Actually your saving money on a chiropractor..." I'm suffering from arthritis just fine without any need to crack my joints, thank you very much. :rolleyes_anim: Quote
Ruto Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 *gives livvy a giant bear hug* That's fantastic, congratulations. :D Quote
Spritzie Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I used to crack my knuckles when I got nervous. I had to work hard to break the habit. But I guess I find comfort in nervous habits. BTW, Livvy... you lost your star. :sad02: Where did it go? :P Quote
antiaircraft Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I must say, Spritzie and Livvy's names at the bottom of this page come together in quite a nice contrast. :P Edit: Spritzie, Livvy's star formed a cocoon and is now in the process of metamorphosing into a double-starred staff bar. ;) Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Hey, it can't be that bad - I mean, some of you Americans were smart enough to join TDN, right? :P No, it's very bad. We were stupid enough to enter/start an unecessary war that plunged the world (especially us) into a global financial crisis. Think about what other bone headed moves we did or could've done. Sometimes I wish I lived in Canada. Quote
Spritzie Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 CAV, that's a lot of generalizing. The war is quite unpopular among the population of the US. As stupid as some things that happen here may be, I'd never want to live anywhere else. (Except Germany, maybe. But I'd have to be fluent in German before that could happen.) Quote
Masaryk Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Hey, it can't be that bad - I mean, some of you Americans were smart enough to join TDN, right? :P There are many very smart Americans, too. And, thankfully, some of them are on TDN. :) Sometimes I wish I lived in Canada. Well, you can always apply to Canadian universities when you finish high school. Quote
Tyler. Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 fun fact: it is often cheaper to go to a Canadian university than an out of state university here Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 If NY was a part of Canada, my life would be a lot better than it is now. CAV, that's a lot of generalizing. The war is quite unpopular among the population of the US. Yes but what happened? We got in the war regardless. And who re-elected him to office? Quote
antiaircraft Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Hey, at least in the USA you don't have too many opposition activists mysteriously falling to their deaths... Quote
Ruto Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 CAV, I had to write a prompt today about a psychological workshop that treated torture victims from other countries. Those people had been oppressed their entire lives, always living under the threat that their whole family could be taken away and beaten to death simply for stating an opposing opinion, or for suggesting a higher pay than 75 cents for a full day of picking sugar cane. The militia sometimes even tortured people right before the eyes of their own family members. Whatever problems we have here, I guarantee they are nothing compared to what's going on in other countries. Plain and simple. Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Ruto, did I ever mention anything related to what you just told me? Please let me know if I did. Quote
Ruto Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I'm pointing out that your life could be a lot worse than what you claim it is now. Please read the second-to-last sentence of my last post again and chill out. Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 My life can be much worse. Doesn't mean it isn't as bad as it is now. Feel free to ask someone. And I also fail to see how I freaked out. Quote
Ruto Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Instead of complaining all the time, why don't you speculate on the good fortunes in your life for once? You'd be a lot happier and I'm sure the rest of the forum would be, too. Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I just checked my life and the past year. .........No...I don't see anything positive. Quote
Tyler. Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Hey, CAV, I've been going through a lot of crap lately yet I still find myself happy at many points. Just try to be positive for once Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Honestly I cannot find myself to be happy, dispite my efforts and the medication. Go figure. :P jumpingbeans 1 Quote

antiaircraft Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Relax everyone. At least we all have each other to vent with, right? :) But if you want to vent about something that people might be sensitive about, please keep it off the open forum (i.e. try PMing someone who's willing to listen) - that way you can unload as much as you like without worrying about offending someone offhandedly.

Shadaw the Rampage Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 So how about that petrified pie? That looks like some good granite! Quote
