what kind of English is that? I'm not trying to be rude, but please proofread before posting, otherwise your comment is lost in bad English.

I think it's rather ungentlemanly to pick apart the grammar of someone who is not speaking their native language (but happens to be doing a mostly flawless job of it). Wrong word choice perhaps, but the meaning was unmistakable and by no means "lost."

And, yeah, it would have been ironic if it was the danger sign that was endangered. Or if you needed a fork but could only find 10,000 spoons in your silverware drawer. (Not.)

ooh, ooh! hire me instead!
i'm cheap, and a neurotically gifted proofreader.

but capitalization is elitist.
and semicolons are a crypto-fascist metaphor for nuclear war.

Yeah, just noticed that^. I'm going to have to fire my proofreader.

I'll remember to proofread with you in mind next time I post! And put down plastic.

I think animating is out of the question, unless I create a low polygon model of it for rigging into a game, which is more stuff I'm familiar with... so, uh, maybe! But right now I'm concentrating on trying to get it to look like what it's supposed to!

"Gee I guess this is more than head practice now!" <-- I lol'ed... but then, I am a dirty, dirty boy.
It looks real good, though. Top class. Are you going to make it move too? Then you could try to mod it for a game.

I'm glad you liked them. Here is my playlist of slam poetry. Just in case you are interested.

I agree completely. Thanks for the recommendations. As soon as I watched that video I went and watched the other Taylor Mali poems. Way cool. I also like this one a lot:

I'm studying to be a teacher and my older brother, who is a LAWYER, was giving me a really hard time about it a few weeks ago and this video made me want to punch him in the face all over again. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

lol thanks Issykitty, boy am I embarrassed
[note to self: I should proofread more often]

Choggie, whats the real deal? Did you get your ass kicked by a slam poet?
Need I remind you of some of your previous votes. It has to be something other than slam poetry.

Boy, you said it brother. I'm not a huge fan of all this on-the-spot communication where your words are transmitted without the chance to proofread them. It's overrated.
James hasn't called me on the phone. Once when he was testing out his GTalk's voice communication he left me a gmail voicemail, but I dodged that bullet and think it's the closest we three've ever come to actually... *gulp* speaking.

take note though jwray... correcting a librarian on grammatical issues is never smart... its a pride issue and you've incurred some wrath buddy... do it again and I will personally proofread every mutherluvin' comment you make... you've been warned!!

Bring it on

/me grabs a bucket of popcorn

fortunately for you I do not have the time to follow up on my threats... do note however that I was seriously offended for that... to single me out for a typo? And send me a link to a site about it? Next time why don't you just say "RAVEN IS AN R-TARD"

I mean honestly, do you really have that much time on your hands that you feel it necessary to correct every tiny grammar mistake? If so I highly recommend you re-evaluate your life... this is the internets... grammar is a dinosaur... learn to put up with it as I have.

I don't mean to start a serious fight here, in fact I'm going to drop it after this, but I felt talked down to... and for what??? an apostrophe!!! in a thread rife with both spelling and grammatical errors... If it makes you feel special to be able to point out such mistakes than I suggest in the future you keep it to yourself.

“You don't need to believe in religion, but at very least respect the point of views of the people that do.

Respect the person, not necessarily his ideas. Elegantly craft lucid debate.

I am against all censorship. Christopher Hitchens put it best in his eloquent rebuttal to a motion to ban "hate speech" in Canada: Hitchens on Freedom of Expression. There is no reason to feel so threatened by mere words of debate. You don't have to read any of it if you don't want to. If you have good reasons for your beliefs, you should be able to do well in a debate with anybody about those beliefs.


the comments here are soooooooooooo much better than youtube and much better than most other forums where religion is discussed.

Agreed.

don't feel so bad choggie... not only do you not count and are a terrible writer... but apparently one typo has relegated me to the ranks of the ignorant who do not understand apostrophes... well, before I unleash a tirade on that matter which rivals any of the religious flame wars I'm going to duck out...

anyway... my two cents on some things: comment voting- booo! censorship- even more booo! more collectives like Islamica that try to deal with religion in an objective fashion- yaaaay!

And gwaan, keep up the good work man, clearly there are many in the western world who need to better understand your chosen faith.
