where should we send your medal to, dipshit?

The easiest way is to ask him if he has any pictures from his unit. That's just something you can't fake. He still may be lying about decorations and awards received, though. Guys who lie about medals and ribbons usually haven't served and they're easier to catch, but sometimes real vets will lie about shit like that to seem cooler.

How do they not have more gold medals in the Olympics? They should so add "precision work abilities" as a sport...

The driver deserves a medal for his restraint. Getting a ticket would piss me off. But then, if someone filmed me getting a ticket, and then had the temerity to crow about the amount of the fine.........?

I have a feeling that by the very act of asking these questions and giving these kids the opportunity to think critically makes them less likely to bully others in the future. Very inspiring.


Plus they just saw a bully getting FUCKED UP!

Some of those kids are pretty awesome though and a lot more aware than I was at similar ages (a legacy of our modern information society I imagine).

ps. I still entirely support that kid cleaning that other little bastard's clock. You pick on someone, you gamble, and he lost big time. The school should have given the bigger lad a fucking medal and made the other asswipe clean toilets for 21 days rather than sending him on a vacation.

No medal for Chewie at the end in ANY version, including Blew-Ray.

They'll give a medal to a man for killing other men, but boo him and fire him for loving one.

So you are denying the existence of infinites in mathematics? Good luck with that, there just might be a Field's medal in it for you if you are right.
It's obvious that the equality doesn't hold if we truncate. That's why we don't do that. If you in the sum
9 (1/10) + 9 (1/10)^2 + 9 (1/10)^3 + ...
stop summing after a finite number of steps you will, as you say, get only an estimation. But calculating infinite sums is something mathematicians and other users of mathematics do all the time. For instance is
2 = 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + ...
Just because you cannot physically write the sums out on paper doesn't mean they are less correct. Mathematics is abstract. That's what makes it so powerful.


1 + 1 = 2 isn't abstract, or an estimation, though. That is my point, as far as maths are abstract, they aren't certain, as far as they are certain, they aren't abstract. Infinities aren't tautologically certain. I don't think you can do math with infinite numbers without estimating. I am not denying the infinities of numbers, I am denying the use of logic based on an infinite outcomes, does that make sense? I am denying that you can count to the largest number, and in that, I am denying that you can make predictions on the outcome of a value of a number that is infinitely precise.

Don't you fucking talk to my mother fucking bot that way BitchGunrock! Don't you know she's *quality?

The government could have intercepted the hijacked planes had they followed standard protocols.

From http://www.911summary.com/:

Director of the U.S. "Star Wars" space defense program in both Republican and Democratic administrations, who was a senior air force colonel who flew 101 combat missions (Col. Robert Bowman) stated that 9/11 was an inside job. He also said:

"If our government had merely [done] nothing, and I say that as an old interceptor pilot—I know the drill, I know what it takes, I know how long it takes, I know what the procedures are, I know what they were, and I know what they’ve changed them to—if our government had merely done nothing, and allowed normal procedures to happen on that morning of 9/11, the Twin Towers would still be standing and thousands of dead Americans would still be alive. [T]hat is treason!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMYzwf01Z7I)

U.S. Army Air Defense Officer and NORAD Tac Director, decorated with the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star and the Soldiers Medal (Capt. Daniel Davis) stated:

"there is no way that an aircraft . . . would not be intercepted when they deviate from their flight plan, turn off their transponders, or stop communication with Air Traffic Control ... Attempts to obscure facts by calling them a 'conspiracy Theory' does not change the truth. It seems, 'Something is rotten in the State.' "

I've had runners high before but it wasn't that bad...that's pretty crazy.

I'm sure the Olympic medal makes a difference.


Oh no I had one. I was running from the Olympian I stole the medal from...lucky for me she was just a tiny gymnast.

I hope they find out who that IS and give him a MEDAL!!!

I seriously thought you may have some connection to Hewlett Packard (stock symbol: HPQ)

In reply to this comment by hpqp:
1. One of my earliest memories is being on a boat between Japan and Korea during a sea storm. Rolling around in the room as the boat was rocked was terrible fun to the 3-year-old I was.

2. I been to more countries then I care to mention. People are really all the same all over. I hate big cities.

3. Played in a mine field for a whole afternoon. The next day a farmer died there. For the year we lived on Croatia's border we could hear/feel the bombs shake the house.

4. Am often told I do not act my gender. Sometimes I play it up on purpose.

5. Am not afraid of nor particularly moved by death. This causes me problems with my family when relatives/siblings die.

6. Am a pretty good shot with both ARs and handguns, even won a few medals in my teens. Stopped shooting because the atmosphere at the club was sexist/macho. At least I'm ready for the Zombie Apocalypse, and can take photos without a tripod at 1" exposure.

7. Like to use quotes from an opponent in a debate to attack their argument. Like to debate in general. i can be argumentative just for the sake of being contrary.

8. I dreamed of being multi-lingual as a child. I'm better at writing than talking. I was the first (and only) in my family to go to University.

9. Grew up in a fundie christian family. Read the Bible innumerable amount of times, learned verses and whole chapters by heart. Am now atheist and antitheist, like most of my family.

10. Been diagnosed schizoide, borderline, bipolar, etc. Take antidepressants to avoid incapacitating breakdowns.

11. 90% of my waking life has been spent procrastinating. VS is my latest fix, and the only online community I've ever become a part of.

12. I love dreaming. Most of my best memories are from my dreams. I daydream often, but retain full situational awareness. Lucid dreaming is awesome.

13. All of the major injuries I've sustained were self-inflicted, albeit by accident. Never broke a bone, but my body is always sore (and not always in a good way).

14. Originally left-handed, but forced to be right-handed during childhood because left-handedness is of the devil. Leftie is now my primary masturbation hand <img src="http://cdn.videosift.com/cdm/emoticon/xd3.gif" class="smiley" />

15. I watch porn at least once a week. Consider myself a feminist.

16. Grew up around boys. I don't really count my first time as my first time. Hardly any one I know knows about my first time.

17. Have never been in a successful relationship. Longest and most enjoyable was as someone's lover/fuckbuddy.

18. I have no patience for stupid people.

19. I've never even been tempted to try drugs, cigarettes. Stopped drinking before turning 18. I have little enough control of my brain and emotions as is.

20. I love cinema, I think cinema is humanity reflected, our dreams, desires, hopes, fears and experiences. When watching a movie, I am frequently the only person laughing.

21. I don't really like being the center of attention.

22. My profile name is not an acronym. When I started using the webs I wanted a username that was anonymous and meaningless to all but myself. It is supposed to be an obscurely emoticon-ish version of Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet.

23. Forbidden Planet freaked me out when I first saw it as a kid. It is still one of my favourite sci-fi movies. I would like to write an SF novel, but fear I lack the discipline and talent.

24. Like to think I'm special/unique, but know that I'm not. Some of this list is copy-pasta'd from others' posts, but also applies for me. (can you find which parts? : )

25. I still have absolutely no clue what I want to do with my life.
