| Guys, guys, guys. Maths can only prove so much, and then it fails at times too if the established rules aren't so sound. Nothing is definite, pretty much all 'scientific knowledge' is founded solely on establishing that a given result is gained more than any other. Even things like water for example... |

| Yeah, as long as you feel sorry for what you did. :D I was the... 'anti-bully'. I used to get the s**t beaten out of me in primary school regularly and that sort of toughened me up. A few years later I'd gotten taller than most people, broader (my shoulders are a few feet apart :lol:), and a few mar... |

| Likewise, Anarchy is by far the worst. We had anarchy before...our very first form of government was anarchy, because we were developing into beings who could communicate. In fact, I could probably scientifically attribute a fair majority of our entire screwed up cultures and histories throughout t... |

| I'll be working and stuff and taking responsibility like most adults. But then I'll also be stoked at no more school, I'll still be playing video games, hanging out with friends and watching anime as well as movies like Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill. So I doubt I'll ever fully become the fully mature... |

I'm actually pretty good.
Except around some members of authority, who I can be a real smartass too if they demand respect without giving me reason to respect them.
Oh and people I see as close minded and less open to possibilities.
But yeah I'm actually fairly social. >< |

| Last time I checked 'socially ret*d' was not a criterion for any of the ASD's. No, socially impaired, which pedantically I might add, equates to the same thing. Those with autism are easily seen as ret*d and impeded in social skills. But that's schematics as it explains the same thing. "ret*d" is o... |

| Ahhh I like looking good. But then I also like full movement so I don't tend to wear suits so much. Most often I wear stretch denim jeans and either a plain black shirt or a band shirt (my fave being a Nirvana shirt), and then a leather or dark denim jacket if it's cold. Or occasionally just my luck... |

He asked the bartender for an empty glass. Luigi then proceeded to take a leak in the glass before drinking it. He then l... |

Ahh my teeth are fine so I rarely go to the dentist anymore.
Remember people:
Beer + Teeth = Tooth decay
Rum (or favourite spirits) + Teeth = Less microscopic life in your mouth.
Alcohol = antibiotic. yay!
Beer = full of sugar. Oh noes...  |
