  1. Guys, he won't have an oxygen tube!
  2. My friend will be in the hospital for the next few days for some sort of surgery on his jaw. I will be visiting him with a few other friends tomorrow and was thinking it would be funny to pull a prank on him. If you remember our Miguel The Retarded Immigrant video, he was Miguel. Have any ideas?
  3. Class? No, I came up with this on my own. I have the capability to think enlightened at will.

    Classic episode.
  7. Fake, guns don't sound like that IRL.

    This is not a popularity contest.
  9. That choice is yours but you will not get far in life, you will not be respected, and you will not grow spiritually.
  10. If you do not have a connection with nature, you are not spiritually mature. Argue this statement as you like, but you will find in the end that it is true, and to dispute it only proves your own immaturity. By maturity I do not mean being able to drive a car, get a date, or hold down liqueur, or any other of the silly things that come with your physical age. No, I mean your mental awareness and respect of what is around you. It is hard to put a definition to this intangible concept, but alas I will try. To be mature, the most important facet is respect of all other things living. Vegetarians have a deep respect for the lives of animals and are commonly activists too for the humane treatment of them. Vegetarianism is a mature choice of lifestyle because of this respect. Maturity also involves voluntarily becoming selfless in one's actions. You do not always have to act for the benefit of others, but be able to avoid conflicts in the relations of yourself and others. Be a friend to all, regardless of any differences that exist between the two. An American Christian and Islamic Extremist have no reason to not be friends if they just put the silly anger aside that their religion fuels them with. Finally, but not exclusively, one must have the experience of not being able to receive what he or she wants. In other words, leaving the providable safety of one's home and living without assistance on one's own. Not everything can be handed to you on a silver platter. But in today's world, it is difficult to truly achieve this due to liberal government aid programs, college scholarships, protective parents, etc. The celebrities in our society are the most immature of all of us because they do close to nothing, and receive fame and fortune in return. I know it's cliché but take Paris Hilton for example. She's not even an actress, she literally does nothing...and it is not hard to see her immaturity. Now that you understand the concept of maturity, you can better understand my stance on nature. Since maturity is fundamentally the process of self-betterment in mental and spiritual terms, one can understand why personal reflection is the quintessence of the whole thing. To understand others, to decide for yourself what is right and wrong, to remove yourself from the material world, you must enter nature. That's right. Where else can one think without distraction from some source that will detract from the ultimate goal of maturation? Nature provides us with a distraction-free environment so that our minds can run free. I'm not suggesting that you hug tress and have picnics with squirrels but I am saying that nature does provide mental peace. When one first goes for a walk in the woods or a hike on a mountain trail or a sit on a shoreline, one may find their mind to be empty of thought at first. This is a natural, or unnatural mind you, side effect from the commotions and modernizations that encompass our lives. It may take several visits to nature before you can release that zealous spirit of your personal self and openly discuss with yourself topics that need resolution within yourself, but it will happen if you give it time. I encourage you all to find your place in nature, whether it be a walk in the park on the way to work or a weekend hiking trip in the mountains. Now I leave this topic open for discussion as well as put forth a quote from a rather famous work dealing on this same subject. "I went into he woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and to see if I could not learn what it had to teach. I did not want to live what was not life, life is so dear, nor did I wish to practice resignation unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life; to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life; to cut a broad swath and shave close; to drive life into a corner and reduce it to its lowest terms and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it and publish its meanness to the world, or, if it were sublime, to be able to give a true account of it on my next excursion." -Henry David Thoreau, Walden Summary: Maturity is mental and spiritual betterment and this can only be encroached upon by means of nature.
  11. Dear CJ, If you read this I just want you to know that I care about you. I know me and you had some tough times and differences of opinions but I feel that you've grown on me, become a brother to me. If you need a shoulder to cry on, I will provide that shoulder free of charge. Never Forget, CJ. Love, a true friend, John_Winthrop

  13. I'm not clicking that merely because the links are different. Chrono is a known haxer and I don't want to get haxed.
  14. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

    Green frosting is not allowed.
  16. Or try the Aeneid by Vergil. EPIC!!
  17. To Your Scattered Bodies Go by Philip Jose Farmer. It's a science fiction classic!
  18. Please no flaming in my thread, thanks.

    You have not thoroughly analyzed the situation, sir. Sure he has an abundant amount of posts, but those posts are all high quality posts that contain essential knowledge that pertains to the interest of most forum users. Post count is in implausible determination for ban hammering.
  20. I have seen these before and I believe that they are both fake. The crease around the groin area does not look like a natural fat crease, and the low quality of the video hides the imperfections well, which leads me to believe the genitals in the videos are realistic looking apparatuses. Also I think that real testicles would have the vas deferens and the epididymis connected to them (they would look like strings) and neither of these are shown on the testicles that pop out in the video. I don't know for sure but I do believe that this is a fake. Summary: Fake, testicles don't look like that IRL.
  21. Not on the list. Sorry, but you did not make the cut. Maybe next time, bud.
  22. In case you didn't know, the forum awards for a particular month go from the middle of last month to the middle of this month. The January awards will be from this point and on until the middle of January. That's the way it always has been, and you would know it if you weren't a fake.
  23. I think I speak for all when I say that my Forum Performance was not sub-par and I most certainly am not annoying. Thank you very much.
