Suppose she had said , " My God and my upbringing does not recognize Jews, they have no place in my world or the world I wish to live in ?"
Suppose she said that " Islam is the root of all that is evil in the world today and must be wiped out ? "
Supposed she said that the millions dying in Darfur, from ethnic cleansing, starvation and civil war was " My God's way of eliminating the unneeded and unwanted from the civilized world? "
Should she still be able to use her public stage to spew hate and racism as " It's just my opinion, and I have a right " Or is it just alright because it was " only gay people"

Unfortunately Miss California, is only in the news because of her prejudice and narrow minded, hateful views on gay rights, not because of her surgically enhanced beauty.

Perhaps YOU should stop being hateful and narrow minded and actually pay attention to what she actually said:
Well, I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage, and you know what, in my country and in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be between a man and a woman.

She shares her beliefs with the vast majority of Americans. Gays need to get over the fact that they are a minority, and stop expecting the rest of the world to bend to their wishes.

At the risk of turning this into a political debate that has no place on XDA, I will say this and then I promise ( Mods ) to shut up and let sleeping dogs lie.
Well, I think it's great that Americans are able to choose if black people should be able to use the same water fountains as white people. We live in a land that you can choose an all white school or an integrated school., and you know what, in my country and in my family I think that water fountains should be white only and black only. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be between blacks and whites.

Does it mean the same now ? This is the belief of a vast minority of Americans. Blacks need to get over the fact that, just because they got someone in the White House, they are still a minority, and stop expecting the rest of the world to bend to their wishes for equal rights.

Lets not discuss such inflammatory subjects. Lets focus on "surgically enhanced beauty" as someone so eloquently stated.

Getting paid to live in Alaska...

Ok, so I need some opinions here...We had a discussion at work today where someone said that they pay you TO live in Alaska but someone else said they pay you BECAUSE you live there...And then the first person said that there's no difference in "Because" and "To"...
So, I will give you some info from Wikipedia and you let me know which one yall think is correct...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska
"Starting in 1982, dividends from the fund's annual growth have been paid out each year to eligible Alaskans, ranging from an initial $1,000.00 in 1982 (equal to three years' payout, as the distribution of payments was held up in a lawsuit over the distribution scheme) to $3,269.00 in 2008 (which included a one-time $1,200.00 "Resource Rebate"). Every year, the state legislature takes out 8 percent from the earnings, puts 3 percent back into the principal for inflation proofing, and the remaining 5 percent is distributed to all qualifying Alaskans. To qualify for the Permanent Fund Dividend, one must have lived in the state for a minimum of 12 months, maintain constant residency subject to allowable absences, and not be subject to court judgments or criminal convictions which fall under various disqualifying classifications or may subject the payment amount to civil garnishment."

'Because' is correct, if you qualify of course. 'To' suggests paying people to move there, in which case under the rules they wouldn't qualify anyway having not been a resident.
I want to live in Alaska. It is the most most beautiful corner of the world. Anybody remember the series 'Northern Exposure'?. Best setting for a TV show ever.

The problem with this idea is that you aren't the first one to have it. There are a ****ton of government leaches living in alaska. It also has the highest percentage of rapes and pedophilia per capita of any other state.

Trust me, i wouldn't be moving there for the 'qualities' of it's indiginous population. I'm long past the point where i can be surprised, or even care, about what the other inhabitants of this once beautiful planet think or do.

isn't it also the meth capital of the world?
best reason to live there, you have a chance with bristol palin

Don't forget the Spiders! I have a friend who lives there and she told me about the huge spiders that live everywhere...including in your bed. EAK! But it would be great to live in such a beautiful place.

Id love to love there, it's do beautiful. But everything that's going on,...... Sucks....

I love Alaska, I have been there many times. But I currently live in Washington state, where Northern Exposure was filmed.
And the Permanent Resident Dividend Fund is just for the people that live there, as previously stated. The best part of Alaska (besides the fishing and hunting) is how backwards the whole state still is. They have open carry laws (meaning no permits needed to carry a firearm) and it is still common for people in the winter to leave their vehicles running while they grocery shop. Nobody steals them.

Where should i build my log cabin? (Think 'Grizzly Adams' if you're old enough). It has to be near a fresh water river or lake and far enough into the wilderness so that i never have to encounter another person for the rest of my days.
No internet, no phone, just a knife, gun and a blissful hunter/gatherer life.

You want to see some SERIOUS spiders, you should be around those freakin Camel Spiders in Iraq. GAWD! Ya, I know everyone's seen the pics of them on the interwebs. But when I was there they scared the hell out of me, cuz they are really, really freakin fast. Walking a post at night, you would see a good sized shadow "flying" across the ground. Saw one once, run up another Marine's leg, and before he even knew it was on him, it was in between his shoulder blades, whoa!

[Q] Can I say "Cheers" Even if I'm not British?

Haha, so this is an honest question.
Can I say "cheers" at the end of an email/post/or whatever, even if I'm not from the UK or Australia/New Zealand?
Or will people from around those parts judge me...? LOL.

I say yes! It can be used as 'Thank you' or 'Toast your health'.
Others could be Slante or even Bottoms Up, (as long as the person you're talking to isn't likely to think you're giving them an order).

You're Canadian, as part of the British Commonwealth of course you can say "Cheers" in fact you should use it as often as possible, along with "crickey" "crivens" and "bloody"
In return we will fit "Son of a gun" into as many conversations as possible (my great uncle moved to Canada and it did him the world of good, at 86 he had a heart attack so they fitted a pacemaker but I think they set it to turbo! He came over when he was 91, didn't look a day over 61, and didn't act a day over 21! Though all Canadian women I've met have been nutty as a fruitcake!)
I remember trading some stock through a US company, and the chap I was speaking with, from Texas I think, gingerly said "Cheers" at the end of the conversation, so it's not true that all Americans don't speak English

My cousin in Canada is probably as 'nutty' as you suggest, but had the good sense to leave the UK, marry a developers son and now lives in a bespoke, hand-crafted and beautiful home on the side of a mountain that they own, overlooking an amazing lake and away from the urban rat-race! I take the mickey out of her accent but to be honest, she pwned me, big-time!
(Her brother btw is the town doctor in a nice rural village where he keeps his own hours, goes skiing whenever he feels like it, has a home provided by the state, and whenever he meets one of the townsfolk in the street they invite him to dinner!
Am i jealous though....?

That's weird, I just stumbled on an article a couple days ago about the study of accents and their development (now I wish I saved that link). Apparently the current british accent didn't evolve into what we know of it now until after the american revolution. So the american accent is how the british spoke before that change...

No! Because Apple has a patent on the British and won't allow them to patent words. But Apple did patent "cheers".

Post about Doctor Who stuff here

Yay! We seriously needed a Whovian thread :good:
Isn't the rest of season 7 set for around Easter? Merlin was supposed to be the gap filler for Doctor Who, and that's ended, so... Wonder if there's anything known yet (proooobably not. Usually about 2 weeks beforehand..)
I still think David Tennant was way better than Matt Smith, by the way. Since we all know we're going to have this discussion anyway I figured I might as well start off early.
Also, I think the newest Christmas Special was Moffat's not-so-silent protest against Peter Jackson for stealing his two main actors from his other show. Still, haven't laughed that hard in weeks... :laugh:

Not been interested since Matt Smith took over.
Every episode I catch to give it another chance seems to just have him frantically waving his sonic screwdriver around like a magic wand.
I remember when it used to only be used for unlocking doors, and only those that weren't locked with the power of script.
As for the last appearance of The Master, WTF? Sniveling whiny prat. Even Eric Roberts did a better job.
They should have cast Timothy Dalton as The Master instead.

I completely agree about David Tennant. And the Christmas Special was cool, it's got me looking forward to the rest of the series

I made my phone into a mini-TARDIS and I want to make a theme for Apex/etc for it some time, when I feel less lazy and think up some ideas.
I'm putting together an 11 costume for a convention because I'm cheap, didn't want to sew, and have a friend who agreed to dress up as Amy.
I'm bargaining with my friend to make me a 4 scarf because I believe you can't just buy them, they need to be made with love.

I should certainly hope it was sarcasm...
If it was made in the US there would be 90% less plot, 80% more romance, 30% more sex, 200% more unoriginal clichés, all characters would be as flat as a penny and the plot would have more holes than a Swiss cheese. Also, it would probably star Tom Cruise as the Doctor.
Oh, and the Daleks would be Middle Eastern or Russian, depending on the year it was filmed in..

If it was made in the US there would be 90% less plot, 80% more romance, 30% more sex, 200% more unoriginal clichés, all characters would be as flat as a penny and the plot would have more holes than a Swiss cheese. Also, it would probably star Tom Cruise as the Doctor.
Oh, and the Daleks would be Middle Eastern or Russian, depending on the year it was filmed in..

lol the only problem with that logic is the fact that apart from a few shows like Doctor Who (and anime) the rest of the world doesn't make good movies or TV shows.

O, Doctor Who has plenty of things people complain about and I've seen quite a few good American TV shows. I actually grew up with Star Trek, not Doctor Who - although Tom Baker was one of the reasons I finally agreed to try Doctor Who.
Doctor Who changes things all the time, it just has the benefit of the spirit of work like Douglas Adams (who was in fact involved for a bit) - of being able to make ridiculous changes and get a pass because it's science fantasy. Lots of the hard science fans complain about lack of hard science, although I think that's like complaining that they don't kill enough people in Disney movies.
Blink was one of my favourite New Who episodes, and I really hated what they did in the later two-parter with 11. They would have been pretty good episodes on their own, but they really ruined the Angels for me, it made them so much less terrifying - which wouldn't have happened if they had just stuck to their original conception and "rules".
Doctor Who is lucky because it's format is like Star Trek - it has the benefit of being able to do an episodic or serial format without having to worry quite so much about over-arching plot because you can easily take time out and have a "Holodeck episode" or go to another planet or whatever and focus on a unique story that will be gone within the next 24-42 minutes.
I'm actually watching an American show right now, it's struggling a bit now that they've switched from that sort of episodic format to more of a focus on the "background" plot, but they're still standing. LOST did a good job with what it had to work with, too.
IN OTHER NEWS MY SONIC SCREWDRIVER ARRIVED THAT A FRIEND GOT ME FOR CHRISTMAS.
So, not to be rude, but let's keep this thread about Who appreciation or good-natured critique of it - not liking Who at the expense of whole other countries (and I'm saying that as someone who bought a DVD box set of Jeeves and Wooster).
SO ANYWAY.
Favourite Doctor ? Favourite Companion ?
I'd say 4 is my favourite doctor, and all the Rs - River, Rose, and Romana for companions. And I guess Rory, too for the hell of it.

Well, my fav's definitely 10, and River is absolutely hilarious. Amy was great, too. (Rose bored me.)
Blink is still one of the greatest episodes of the new series. It's what eventually led to Moffat taking over from RTD as showrunner. (Which nobody minded. That whole Timelord-victorious crap was starting to get more than a little boring.)

Well, I never said the rest of the world did. Fact is they generally don't.
But the last 10 years or some the BBC makes shows with a lot more original content and plots than Hollywood does.. Think
Top Gear,
Sherlock (Don't get me started on Elementary.),
Merlin,
Robin Hood,
Torchwood (okay, that's a Dr Who spinoff.)
Parade's End (That was hilarious...),
The Office (US is a remake.),
Being Human (Again, US is a remake.),
Strike Back (US took over after S1),
Inspector Lynley Mysteries,
Life on Mars (Lol if you watched Dr Who s3's ending)..
List goes on...
Yes, the US has plenty of great shows (i'm only counting since about 2000.), but most are all either A) Character Dramas, or B) Purely Action. It's very, very rare to find a balanced show with great characters, great actors, excellently thought out plots, original ideas, good visualisation and humour. And when they do finally get one, they cancel it because it's not "What the audience needs." (*cough*, Firefly....)
And no, Game of Thrones is not a good argument, don't bother.

Leela has to be my favourite companion
Sally Sparrow would have made a great companion too.

Anyone got out of the friendzone?

So yeah,you look at the line up and already know what is it about.So c'mon let's hear all of you who turned superheroes and manage to overpass or should I say "root" your friendzone relationship.Anyone actually done it?

if you find yourself in the friendzone and you don't want to be in there, then you need to stop acting like you're in there, you need to be physically escalating and doing all the things someone sexually interested would be doing. If she's resisting and giving you the "I'm sorry, we're just friends" bit, tell her something along the lines of "sorry I didn't mean to lead you on and give you the vibe that I wanted to be just friends" <- this is funny because now you appear the one who was leading her on, instead of her leading you on. Granted, this kind of behavior might end your friendship with this person, but in reality do you really want to keep being strung along? My experience with that is its very emotionally draining, it's usually not worth the friendship.
if you legitimately value your friendship with this person and don't want it to end, I would still try to escalate when you can but you need to keep her on the back burner and go date other people that will solve all your problems
but I'm not really an expert on dating in fact I'm ****ing terrible with women, but I was once friendzoned for six years and then finally got to **** her, but I had a lot of help from friends and it involved social manipulation (girl I knew pretended to be interested in me so friendzone girl got jealous and we ended up ****ing... it's all very dumb)

Woww as I can see that's the point.Nah anyways I'm starting to think my plan is working.You see I was friendzoned for 6 freaking months,till a 1 month ago,where I told her everything.So she actually after was still talking to me,even that she said that this will change everything and it's not the way she feels about me.So than I started chilling her out and,now she is looking att me smiles at me and I kinda feel weird even though that's the girl I want.So about a week ago unfriended her from FB,blocked her on Twitter,and she freaked out and tweeted "you eill regret for letting me go".And yeah,I feel like a di** a little bit,and I'm gonna go on a date eith this new girl,I have a feeling that she will freak out there.So ****ed up yeah for sure,but hey on the bright side,If I don't make with this date I will get her in my arms.Proudly said by di**.

Yep. It sucks 4rse to be friend zoned. But I kept trying. Got the chick. Still got it last time I checked.

Yes, nothing is hotter than a desperate sociopath. Maybe you should move on.

We're considered hot these days? Also, psychopaths murder people, sociopaths simply don't care about people. (I do not walk around carrying an axe trying to chop off as many heads as possible.) Rather significant difference

I was best friends with the mother of my daughter and son for 2yrs. Then she realized the guy she was looking for, the man who was with her no matter what happened, was right there in front of her. We were friends but she knew I liked her because I asked her out a couple weeks after we met. So I think it's best to tell them in the beginning. But that's just my story.

that sarcasm......i like it.:silly:
ya..i have done that 2 times already. i am quite sure that the girl will leave her current boyfriend. he is no good except that his father is rich. a dumb*ss who got into college just because of sports quota. she will realize that soon and then its a win win.
@OP. change the topic to Relationship advice. we are getting new threads on it every now and then. people will have a place to put up their problem without flooding the forum with new threads.
