Well I wanna talk about the stupidity of American "football".
You see, most of the time, American "football" is being thrown and then held with the hand, and only perhaps 3% of the time it is being kicked.
On top of that the "ball" is not round. Ask any child to draw a ball and the poor child will be hard pressed (or an American idiot) to draw something that resembles that egg.
Thirdly, there is that issue of machismo that the Americans like to push. Yeah, you run around bashing people in a full contact sport. Ever heard of rugby? Those guys only wear groin protectors and tooth protectors. Not a padding more.
Suck it, American "Football"!
/This does not, in any way, bash Americans, only their version of football
//The rest of the world would like the word football back.
///Call it Handegg if you want to, otherwise you are just as asinine with your language as the Brits, who like to add an "o" in colour. (Yes, I'm Brit Eng educated. Blame the basterds who conquered us)

wikipedia said:
The game of football is any of several similar team sports, of similar origins which involve, to varying degrees, kicking a ball with the foot in an attempt to score a goal. The most popular of these sports worldwide is association football, more commonly known as just "football" or "soccer". Unqualified, the word football applies to whichever form of football is the most popular in the regional context in which the word appears, including American football, Australian rules football, Canadian football, Gaelic football, rugby league, rugby union and other related games. These variations are known as "codes."

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.

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.

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!

"..Scott Paul, a Greenpeace official in New York responsible for forestry issues, said Gibson for years has done "great work" to promote better forestry practices. The question, he said, is whether Gibson did everything possible to avoid buying wood from dubious sources. "We have no idea," he said."
Did they know and turn a blind eye anyway? Seems to me that if a supplier decided to lie about the source of the wood they wouldn't then go telling the buyer. "Here's that perfectly legal and above board wood you ordered guvner, nudge-nudge, wink-wink"!

how can I approach a stranger?

Hi guys, I just need your tips about my situation.
Whenever I go home from school I ride the bus. Now earlier this afternoon, there's this girl that I want to befriend but don't know how to start. So yes, we go to the same school, and I already saw her several times on that bus stop.
I'm afraid that when I just started talking to her she'll go away. any tips?

Well, your asking on xda. So you must be a smartphone junkie. Show what phone you got and all the mods and roms, if you do that and ask her if she would like to the same to hers
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA App

Seriously, don't approach her. It may seem creepy, as if you're some desperate stranger that will try and chat up anyone on sight.
Just smile if you make eye contact, but PLEASE don't sit there staring at her. That's not natural eye contact - it's called stalking.
After a few days of smiles, say "Hi", but still never take it further than that. Then, after maybe a couple of weeks of regularly saying "Hi" and smiling at each other, let her get on the bus first and sit behind her and just hope something comes natural.
Basically, if you force it then you may well scare the crap out of her. You'll be labelled as the creepy guy who stares at girls and follows them. Just be casual and take your time. That's the main thing - take your time.
Good luck mate
Edit: Thinking about it, if you've got something in common that you know about then just try and start a conversation about that. It's just not advised to go, "Er... hello" and stand there looking at her

Walk up to her and ask "Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?"

Everything that JCM just said! I've actually had the 'Bus' experience. Had i actually had the forethought at the time to ask a random girl for her number, i may have gotten somewhere. An 'eyes+body language' flirtation doesn't go anywhere unless you capitalise on it at the time!
AlanR is a classic example of 'post what i should have done instead of what i actually did' syndrome. I know it feels impossible to be in that situation and do anything about it at that age, but as you get older you realise that **** like this is likely to be the least stressful thing you'll ever have to deal with in your everyday life!
JCM and i are both dealing with relationship demons that haunt us..not because we lack the guts to go for it...but because we have our baggage. boborone certainly doesn't lack the balls to 'go for it'. He has more girls in the Black Book than most of us could ever dream of! It's our experiences that stupidly hold us back!
If you think you have something to lose by approaching a random woman and asking her out, it's your own stupidity and immaturity that's holding you back, nothing else. If you fail and they say no, what of it? You still have a dozen or so people that know and love you! Move on to the next one that appreciates you for who you are.
Life is way to short to be embarrassed because you made a fool of yourself. Seriously, if you spend your one life worrying about **** like that, you've totally wasted it!
Be a fool, act self-conscious and embarrassed, end up with egg on your face... but for ****ssake go for it in the first place! How long exactly do you think a life lasts??

Edit: Thinking about it, if you've got something in common that you know about then just try and start a conversation about that. It's just not advised to go, "Er... hello" and stand there looking at her

Makes sense to me. Thank you.
This thing is really new to me that's why I'm asking. I've never had any friend other than my childhood batchmates/classmates for over 10 years. so now I'm on college it's totally a different atmosphere especially I just moved here at the US. My accent is also a hindrance for my confidence.

Dude, unless it's a super heavy Asian or Arab accent, she'll get wet just hearing you say the alphabet. Chicks swoon over a dude with an accent. You gotta go for it, ignore the "don't talk to her" poppycock. Just strike up a casual conversation about the crackhead bus driver or changing weather or something. If you don't get in there she will move on and you will miss your shot. If she is too much of a ***** to be friendly back then she can kick rocks. You wouldn't want to be with someone like that anyway.

approach her and with a twinkle in your eyes tell her 'When God made woman he made you then broke the mold so there would be only one of you' If she peppers sprays you then it's a no.

Ask her if she likes cow's milk.

Well that's the problem my friend, just a look at her face I can tell that she's very kind. Not just one of those dumb *****es.

Okay, a correction. Every time I am involved in a moment aahs I find it funny, occasionally I'll post that picture.

Here is the best tip... On Monday wear your tightest jeans and try to work up a boner just before you get on the bus. Then as you hop on to the bus, stand in front of her and watch if you catch her staring at your man bone. If she does, just try to give her that little porn smirk and go on from there. Trust me, works all the time on amateur porn videos.

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..

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.
