Where the heck is Excalibur?!

you need to go to a high class joint like Strokers! When you're done there swing by the drive through barber shop

gather round FP...I will tell you the legend of the the time lost Proto Drake! He flies and he walks, he swims and he talks! Where does he spawn? NO BODY KNOWS! /smoke machine /exit seriously, my friend's uncle's sister's friend who plays on a UK horde server told me that he definitely spawns if you don't turn on your monitor while playing that game. Apparently you have to hunt him by sonar since he only spawns when the monitor is off. Crank up your sound, turn off your monitor and good hunting!

you guys need to watch Mr. Show!

Grats and good luck. Also, when you choose your classes and major, remember that in college you can branch out and study whatever you want. So, take advantage of your electives and take some varied subjects outside of your preferred major and you might be pleasantly surprised. but now, go celebrate!

happy birthday Vix!

What are the qualifications for this place? SAT scores? ACT scores? Colleges look at ACT/SAT scores, grade point average, and then your essay to tell them how unique you are, in that order. If your SAT or ACT (whichever applies) and grade point average are above what they are looking for then you probably don't have to slave over the essay. If you're on the borderline then I suggest writing everything that makes you different. If you speak different languages, if you visited other countries, if you play any instruments, the books you have read, extra curricular activities. The people who will be reading all the essays know that most of the answers will be dry and written in a format of a 4th grader talking about their summer vacation. So you want to stand out and maybe connect with the reader. Good luck to you, I know applying to colleges isn't the most fun thing in the world but you're on the right track. Also, take all advice that you've heard (including this line) with a grain of salt.

Uh, look. We all need to give the lower level class a break here. All people above level 76, you have to stop logging in. This way the experience that you would've had, will be spread around to other players and with shorter queue times we will have more higher level players. We need to change the way we log into WoW!

This thread has been derailed from the original argument that was made at the beginning. There has been only 2 arguments made and only 1 has any merit. I generously call Thurster's statement (which seemed to me a misplaced joke) an argument, only because so many people seemed to have reacted to it as such. I do not take away the "soap box" effect of the speeches that I have read in this thread, but I'd like to focus on the argument put forth by Ezmira and Memphis. I do this because I think it's the only sound argument that has been put forth and the only one that has not been fully answered. I'm going to summarize Ezmira's and Memphis argument in this fashion: 1. x is morally right 2. majority voted against x 3. therefore x is legally wrong and should not be protested against. First, I agree that in the democratic government the will of the people chooses some laws though not all. There are some laws that get passed in the legislature that make things legal or illegal without any input from the population (unless you count the Senate and other elected officials "will of the people"). In any event, there are some laws that are so socially unconscionable that they demand attention. In fact, your exact arguments have been made before, they were made to Martin Luther King Jr, when he decided to protest the segregation laws. I'd like to know if you believe in "civil disobedience", which loosely is a theory that gives power to people when they believe laws are so morally/socially wrong that they cannot be followed. You look at the struggle that African Americans had to go through just to receive equal treatment, and I don't think the change would have happened but for the various demonstrations and protests. You mention the "will of the people" but is there a line where the will of the people contradicts directly with morality and in the process irrationally and unreasonably denies rights from one class that is enjoyed by another and therefore making the will of the people wrong. If the will of the people could be wrong then laws could be wrong and if laws could be wrong, those laws should not be obeyed, especially when the "wrong" equates to a denial of equal rights to a class of people for no rational reason. Also, the protesters want their argument heard in Court where it will not be swayed by weak and impossible rationalizations. They want both sides to present their arguments and the Court to decide if the law is in the spirit of the rule of law. So far the will of the people has been shown to misunderstand the issue and vote based on wrongly held views that have been given to them by the media or other sources. We need to eliminate that white noise and make sure that people who are the decision makers are using reason, rationality, and the rule of law as their guidepost and not misinformation. Now, you might argue that people should work through the government in order to achieve change. You see, that's exactly what they are doing, much like the decision of Brown vs. Board of Education. Martin Luther King Jr and others, through their many protests gave international attention to injustice that was occurring. People thought separate but equal did not violated the Equal Protection Clause but the Supreme Court held that it violated the Equal Protection Clause and therefore unconstitutional. I would draw the same line of reasoning here, the denial of same-sex benefits is a violation of Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution and therefore not only morally incorrect but is also against the spirit of the U.S. Constitution and its government. Now, you'd argue about the line. Where do we draw the lines on which law we should protest against? I don't see a limit, if the law unreasonably denies basic rights or fundamental rights (marriage is a fundamental right recognized by the Supreme Court) then it should be protested against.

This is real news for anyone who's world is completely engulfed by "of Warcraft"
