    Where English people disagree over whose language is best

    Typical Conversation when meeting people in Australia: A: "Hi, where are you from?" Me: "I'm from America." A: "I know that." What I want to say: "THEN WHY DID YOU ASK?" I honestly don't care what your English accent is as long as I can understand you. Most of the teachers here don't care...

    Church refuses to marry black couple

    Even if you updated it like you wanted, it would still allow this church to choose who it may marry. It would only prevent the government from discriminating (unless that was your whole intent?); plus, such an amendment would have to include everyone, not just those who are not "power holders"...

    14 dead, 50 wounded in shooting at Colorado theater, police chief says

    Lovely blurring there, and it's already out who they are looking for. Whoops. I hope they find the guy, though I don't know exactly why they want him, I just hope he wasn't killed before Holmes went on his rampage.

    14 dead, 50 wounded in shooting at Colorado theater, police chief says

    I heard about that too. But, what does your picture have to do with this?? Is that the suspect who may have let him in the theater? As far as I have read, that accomplice-person hasn't been named.

    You know, I'm in Australia and it's not even the 4th yet. :-p Wanting to grab the the thread before anyone else eh? I'll get you yet. Happy Independence Day!

    Japanese Politicians Consider Humanoid Mechas

    While neat in fiction, I highly doubt this will go beyond the blueprint stage. It's much more economical to suit soldiers in high tech exoskeletons (or just making cyborgs out of them) than it would be to go through with this project.

    The Last Airbender:The Legend of Korra

    To be fair, Korra isn't exactly like Aang. Aang had to master all the elements while Korra doesn't have that pressure and can take her time. Plus, she's growing up in a post-war world, and doesn't need her powers to fight off armies and soldiers at any given second like Aang did. Sure she has...

    California official accused of hitting boy with belt when he drops ball

    I agree, it's pretty disgusting what the step-father did. Thankfully, he's resigned from his political office and he's being charged on felony child abuse. I applaud the man who recorded the situation and stood up for the boy.

    The Zombie Apocalypse Continues

    I didn't hear about that one in KC. While pretty crazy, I think the worse thing to have come out of the area is the boy who was set on fire. Maybe all these people are just getting large press coverage because of a slow news cycle.

    The Last Airbender:The Legend of Korra

    I enjoyed this episode very much! Tons more questions come up than answers being solved. I have my own hypothesis on the Tarlock, the visions of Aang, and whatnot. But I'm going to wait a bit more before I make my predictions on what/who/when all this stuff is going to go down. XD

    Bath Salts-What the hell is going on exactly?

    Well, bath salts are a real consumer product. You can see them at many stores that sell shampoo and other bathing goods. I don't use them, but they supposedly help cleaning, plus fragrant are added for smelling good. What people are using to get high are simply called bath salts, like Quattro...

    New York plans to ban large sodas

    No, it means that people should take personal responsibility for being overweight. Instead of the government telling everyone (healthy and unhealthy) what they can and cannot have. Besides, you can just buy more, get free refills, etc.

    On writing a character of a different gender, race, faith or sexuality to your own.

    Re: On writing a character of a different gender, race, faith or sexuality to your ow I don't write here on the forums, but I do write off-site and just for fun. Most of my stories tend to fall into two camps- very short stories or novel-length. Whenever I write short stories, I don't pay...

    FDA Approves First Drug that Wholly Prevents HIV Infection

    Prevention should take into account drugs. Some women get HIV via rape unfortunately, some people are prostitutes and come into contact with STDs regularly, and if they have a pill that can help prevent HIV then I say it better. Contraceptives do not protect 100% against STDs and HIV. Plus, if...
