it is really simple - just talk about phones!
the description is for threads not related to phones (or something like that) so to be off topic we talk about phones!
You're doin it wrong!
Going off-topic in Off-Topic is easy as you just hijack a thread with something random. Talking about phones is on-topic, which we frown about

THAT'S the one Perfect example of going off topic in Off-Topic, which is perfectly acceptable in case you were wondering.
Sakai4eva is our resident expert in these matters, and as always i defer to his expertise.
If anybody wishes to go on-topic in Off-Topic, that is ok as long as they don't mind being flamed for doing so which would mean the flamer is going off-topic in the on-topic thread, which is ok, as long as they don't also mention anything on-topic while they are flaming the guy as they then would also be guilty of breaking cardinal rule #1 and will then themselves be flamed for doing so. (Once you grasp the basics it gets easier).

It depends on whether you are talking about an African or European swallow.
The airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow is roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles per hour*, beating its wings 7-9 times per second (rather than 43). But please note that a 5 ounce bird cannot carry a one pound coconut.

I'd agree. You may think your daughter is innocent, but unless you know her every move which is kinda scary, but if you do, then you have nothing to be afraid of. I mean I'm not a man whore who goes around sleeping with all the women I can find. I stick to one But it would be nice if parents started to talk about this to their kids. (Mind you, I come from a place where they would never discuss or have a sex talk EVER)
No child over the age of 16 is innocent. You just have to hope they aren't death penalty guilty..in context to your morals as a parent of course.
Ha, yes it is off topic. Is it anymore off topic then the bible or if your Muslim compared to mobile phones? No. Just thought I would post on it as it is very bizarre.

I have a comment; however, I think I should keep this to myself as I don't want to offend anyone. There are other forums on the net where you can talk more freely about these things and where it is more appropriate. I really don't think that it is appropriate for older adults to be discussing these things with minors anyways. Especially where it looks like this discussion will be heading.

Discussions are totally fine as long as it doesn't lead to any revealing photos, videos, etc. I mean kids can now go to Wal-Mart and buy condoms. No one will stop you.

My mom called my doctor and said to him "What's the most accurate measurement for weighing?"
The doctor said "An underwater weighing test"
And just like that, my mom said "Yes. When can my son and my daughter can take it?" and the doc said "Today at 2pm."
So, I didn't bother taking a shower and so did my sister too, so I had to get into a special swimming suit(tight pants...Ugh).
My sister said "Can I pull my hair down to a ponytail?" The doctor said "No."
So my sister with her long, blonde hair went underwater with 8 seconds and had she must enjoyed it..but I didn't.

Hi,
both me and my wife are fighting a desperate (and mostly loosing) fight against the fat.

No idea
Probably just a kid venting? From the medical link given, it seems to be a fairer and more accurate measurement of fat to body-mass ratio than merely using a scale. If the OP really has less fat and more bones/muscle, the test would have been a more accurate measurement of obesity than simply using a weighing scale.
And for teenagers screaming invasion of privacy and such, grow up. Rights comes with responsibility. As long as your parents are providing your needs, they can do whatever the heck they wanna as long as it doesn't hurt. Oh, and emotional trauma and PTSD doesn't really hold up in court.

Well, I'm glad you are not working in my company then
Rights can never come without the responsibility of enforcing/using that particular right. Otherwise, that is really messed up.
What I meant by that is that since the parents have a responsibility to take care of you, they have the rights to enforce such a responsibility. Otherwise, you should just fend for yourself. Google up teenage emancipation and read up.
The world is never fair, and always cruel. "Grownups" have experienced it. Trust me, I know.

Sorry, forgot the #sarcasm there. Please excuse the teenage angst in this here thread. You will need to engage psychiatrist and psychologists that HAVE to prove that the trauma has significantly changed the victim and their behavior is no longer bounded by societal norms.
From what I can see, teenagers ranting is quite extremely normal. And so is a teenager being shy about his/her body.
Oh, and your superiority complex is showing. Why don't YOU try to put up a PTSD case and see if you can sue your parents?
Move along, and GOML.
