Oh, I wish to make a point. I am from West Virginia. It is it's own state. Not Virginia. West Virginia suceeded from Virginia during the civil war, in favor of the Union, because Virginia was part of the Confederacy.
Oh, and it's NOT all relative here.

have to say- England is by far the coolest country out there- we had the largest
Empire in the History of the World!
lol- no offy intended- but all British criminals and slaves got sent to either US or autralia - so most  the Yanks are decenants of prisoners.

oops- read that back and its kinda offencive, just ignore that.
p.s- british commedy is better than America
(blackadder , falty towers , monty python)  --and the BBC has no adds inbetween programs.
however america is still a gr8 place..... so dont get angry

What are you talking about, Julian? Florida is great! We have....erm..... we have.... uhhh.... we have the FCAT!

Wait, that doesn't work.... OK yeah, Florida is bad. I wanna live in New York. It's awesome. It has the buildings and the people and stuff, and it even snows sometimes. I love snow. Snow is fun. Especially when it's 2 feet and in Central Park. Yeah, New York is where I wanna live.

Damn you, Jack! You can't leave Boston until I finally stalk you....then you can leave but why Tampa. What the hell? Florida is...it sucks...or maybe that's just because I'm still in highschool as a freshman and have no authority or any of the nice rights that have age requirements.

Disney is in Orlando. That's 4 hours away from Miami. Here in Miami, there's nothing at all. 'Cept maybe Miami Beach. Which isn't all that good.

Besides, Disney looses its magic after the hundredth time. Though I do like Disney/MGM Studios. They have cool stuff. Like that grate that you can step on that makes water fall on the umbrella hooked onto the lightpole next to the grate. It's supposed to be from Singin' in the Rain. As for the rides, I don't care much for roller coasters or Towers of Terror. That's why I don't really appreciate the theme parks in Orlando.

That's not entirely true. The British Empire was pretty big, but in terms of lands I think the Mongolian Empire was quite a bit bigger. They conquered China, Persia and Eastern/Central Europe, for starters.

there is no perfect place to live imean there is always something wrong even if it only happens once in awhile

The company I work for is opening a new store down there, and I was offered some incentives to transfer. I'm doing so for a year until I return to Boston in late '07 for law school.

What about the Soviet Union? Didn't it encompass like 1/5th of the world's land mass or something?

I have to agree. Our beaches are pretty awsome.  Its especially cool when there aren't any tourists around. Still cool any time of year.  Except when its freezing and then its still nice to go shell hunting or to go and just watch the water. ;) :) 8)

No dice. Double posting is not allowed. You don't need to use quotes to fix double posts, just erase your double post and then hit the "modify" button on your first post and retype what was in your doubled post there.

First warning.

Told him what, that I would enforce the rules? Would you rather I ignore fairness and just arbitrarily hand down judgements rather than applying the rules equally to everyone. If Phantompig double posted I would warn him just like I did dan. I'm sorry if you think my actions unnecessary, but it's my job to provide an enjoyable environment for everyone, and that means I need to make and enforce certain rules.

I just hate getting in trouble, and i dont wanna see others get in any trouble. sorry, i just feel the need to help people. just ask medli! I always say


I love to help people. and your actions are a lot better than i previously fought with.

and for omni.

dont think nothin of it, i know people like Joe and he was banned for his constant -Weeeeee-'s. lol! I just hate trouble, so i try to stay out of its way. I asume the same about others so i try my best to help.
