What the fuck is Starkiller doing near the top of that list? Starkiller's the only thing worse than Hayden Christenson.

Sex.

YEAH? HA HA HA HA HA!

You're right. This deserves to be in Serious Discussion.

Did you go on them when you were 6 years old or something? It seems kind of hard to forget a foreign trip you've taken recently. Naw, they were a couple years ago. I think it has to with the fact that I spent both of those trips in a state of exhaustion (have you ever slept on a Russian hotel bed? Trick question. You can't sleep on them). Adding to that, I haven't so much as glanced at any of the pictures I took there for a very long time. I regret not keeping some kind of a log during those trips. Of course, now I'm probably going to spend the duration of the evening remembering events from both excursions.

HITTIN' 'EM HARD!

This topic reminds me that I've been to Russia twice and have almost entirely forgotten both trips.

The Native Americans caught diseases from the foreigners? Meh, "The More You Know"... Anyway...Yeah it's all too likely that they were lacking in sufficient amounts of "something" Not necessarily EVERYTHING, but something. Every culture seems to have its own eating habits and animals/plants they will and won't bother eating. Some diseases probably come from eating certain animals/plants, and/or not eating others. About the HIV Virus. It is JUST A VIRUS, so if the human body was made strong enough to fight it off, it could be cured. The problem is most noone is strong enough to fight it off, save for the case studies I read about, where people were cured of their HIV and AIDS by cell oxygenation therapies. Yeah; it's called an vaccination. So it's easier to get an vaccination than to get a vaccination? I was right, you're crazy. Is it me, or does the F.D.A. have us by the balls? I read once that there is a particular law that was passed here in the US. The law goes like this... "Only drugs can cure disease" Basically, this gives certain parties the right to go after individuals, mainly doctors, who practice certain kinds of alternative methods of curing disease. People can actually have their medical licenses stripped from them for claiming that they have something that's not a drug that can "cure" a disease. With that said, is it really any wonder that most of what we hear pertaining to illness suggests that humans are simply too weak to survive? Look, the Earth has undergone some massive geographical and atmospheric changes in the last 6,000 years. Humans may not be perfectly immune to everything, but our bodies are not designed to crap out like this. There are a hell of a lot of sources that cause our bodies to be this weak and over reliant on medicine. #1 Location People living in different areas of the world tend to have slightly different health problems. Example? China and the increasing Asthma diagnosis. Living in a location with as little crap in the air as possible would change this. #2 Food A perfect diet is statistically no longer possible. Most of our food is processed nowadays. Processed food has almost no benefits compared to whole and organic foods. The foods that are "whole" and even "organic" aren't going to give you a perfect diet either. Chemicals are all over the place now, and thye get into everything. There is nothing you can do to avoid these foreign chemicals. #3 Exposure UV Exposure. Light doses of ANYTHING that's bad for you is still bad for you and radiation is a big one. This can effect everything from genetics in pre-birth, to the speed of aging, and cellular growth rates. Chemical Exposure. Chemicals can have a number of effects on our bodies and everything we consume or touch. The simple fact is that we can't do anything about this other than to limit our exposure to it. Did you know that there was a semen decrease in American males reported not too long ago? It's mainly because there's trace(Harmless?) amounts of estrogen in our drinking water. Avoid that. #4 Mental Health "Don't worry, be happy" Your mental state effects your body's state. Example? An example I've heard of was startling. It was that being angry for twenty minutes or longer is enough to shut down your immune system for 24 hours. With that said, the best way to avoid getting Swine Flu, is to keep your immune system at least "functional" by not getting pissed off all the time. Do what makes you happy. #5 Genetics Genetics are nature's cards, which she deals you before you know what the word "deal" means. Genetics are your overall position on the health chart ranging from dead within seconds after birth, up to perfect and flawless. It basically determines how high up the health chart you can go, and sets an absolute "limit" for you. There's nothing you can do in this area but be as healthy as possible. Stack all five of these on top of each other, and you've got billions of sick people suckling to the pharmacies. Humans are not designed to get sick. Under the right conditions and living environment, we could never get sick at all. The problem is all of the above Great, now I have to explain the bald patch resulting from me tearing my hair out after reading this post to my class tomorrow. Thank you.

I actually never got Agent Under Fire, though I played it once or twice at a friend's house. But then this topic is about what's your favorite, not what's the best. Am I not allowed to choose an inferior game? :D No. On topic, I enjoy all my Gamecube games equally, or at least to the point where it's hard for me to choose one over the other. In fact, if only to put some members on edge, I'd argue that the Gamecube is my favorite console.

ITT: Cirno.

Not really. Realistically, ground soldiers don't kill THAT many people. A Marine I know (my old Spanish teacher) only killed thirty-three people. Yeah, that's a handful for one guy, but it's not like these people are killing HUNDREDS. The air force and navy can sometimes kill at least one-hundred, though. "Only" thirty-three? That's the kind of number expert sharpshooters hit over years of high-intensity deployments, unless they're involved in civilian or prisoner massacres or something. Some air force pilots will kill hundreds of people, as will artillery guys who launch missiles at urban areas, but that's only because most armies, including the US military, don't put too much weight on how much collateral damage they cause in air attacks so long as there are legitimate targets hidden underneath, but that's a different debate. Firefights are only a small part of soldiering and never happen these days if everything goes according to plan. I have a friend who went through three years of service as a combat soldier in the Israeli Defense Force, maybe the most professional military on earth, including in the recent Operation Cast Lead in Gaza last year, who carried around a loaded assault rifle for the whole time and never got into a firefight, simply because his unit never had the bad luck of being attacked by an armed enemy. There's no way games like Call of Duty are games about war and soldiering. If real life were like Call of Duty the world would be depopulated pretty quickly. They're games about shooting. Since they claim to be almost simulations, and are often cited as such, the least they could do is make the shooting more realistic, with accurate weapon specs rather than stereotypical or just plain made-up ones, with characters that aren't gods who can withstand a bullet through a lung without even slowing down, stuff like that. In CoD4 there are some weapons that are actually different weapons from the names given, that's bullshit for a game claiming to be about realistic modern warfare. Shh, you're making them feel less hardcore.

Well, I did spend most of last night weeping in a dark corner.

Yes, attempting to tackle four at once was a terrible idea.

Leaving this here.

Get that shit out of here. Jesus.

Is this a good time to tell you.

Everyone's in top tier in FE8.

Someone claim me. I need the attention.

Okay seriously, where is General Veers and why is he not in on this.

IT IS DAY OF JUDGMENT.
