I hope someone on this board agrees with this.
I'm not sure if this occurrs outside of the American English language, but if it does, I apologize.
Question: why do people....mostly female, but some men too, talk like everything is a question?
Im not talking about someone actually asking a question.
What I mean is, when a normal person says something like "I went to the movies last night." , you say "I went to the movies last night??...and it was OK?? But the popcorn sucked. So we went home? And then I texted Travis?....." you know what I mean...
The inflection in the voice. I hate it more than anything and I wish it would stop.
I hear it in person. I hear it on TV, and it makes you sound retarded if you do it.
I'm not perfect, but I speak English. Like a Sir.

It's nearly 30 years since Frank Zappa released the album: "Ship arriving too late to save a drowning witch."
It contains the track "Valley Girl".

Didn't Madonna do the whole 'Black Jesus' thing 20 years ago with the 'Like A Prayer' video?
Is nothing original any more?
BTW, (just speculating here), if Jesus was born in the middle east, as it was written, why does he look as white as my ass in every picture you see?

Asked the same question in my bio class senior year (also asked if she was black) and everybody around me started cracking up in disbelief.
I have a big distaste for this album. I like parts of certain songs, but not any one song as a whole. I feel like she's going downhill instead of up musically.
I know, I know, potentially NSFW stuff here.
Other than Amber Heard, there's nothing worth watching in there. Sorry excuse for a skin flick.
Anyone else got that vibe?
p/s: I'm not gay, btw. Just need to clarify that... yeah...

I was the same! Tried to keep work and personal life separate. Was very shy wouldn't go to work functions etc would make up excuses. I was between 18-20 and guess i hadn't really grown up.was scared to accept that i wanted those work colleagues as friends but it was line i was crossing. Plus it got really hard when i fancied a girl at work but just froze and couldn't pluck up courage to ask her out.
Now im well confident...and married but love going out and just socializing. If only i had my confidence now back then!

Well as much as I find it offensively overused and therefore raped of its true sentiment, it is good advice. Forget what you've come here to ask and remember that sometimes things are just what they are and you can't always "fix" everything. Also, just because you perceive things one way doesn't mean other people do. For all you know there could be some hot girl sat across the room from you thinking "He's not like the other guys, and I like that". Be yourself and learn to be happy about who you are, rather than trying to change it.
I've always been a quiet, shy kind of person, but as I've grown and become happier with it it's turned from shyness into a character trait that people know me for and respect. I've become the "strong silent type".
Wow awesome!
I was called shy and awkward like 3 times yesterday....but ill stay how I am...

I always loved this one, mainly for the EVE Online story. I read about this when it happened and it was so audacious you couldn't help but laugh.
"As with the real-world economy, making a profit in the world of EVE Online is easier if you form corporations. While many spend years working together for mutual gain, others behave a lot like corporations do in the real world. Or at least how they would if they operated in a universe where murder is legal.
For instance, the Guiding Hand Social Club assassinates people for profit and steals their stuff for bonuses. In one instance, they were hired to destroy "Mirial," the CEO of Ubiqua Seraph corporation. While many EVE Online players literally grind rocks for hours to make a profit, the GHSC use the assignment to show everyone what Ocean's Eleven would have been like if it took place in the Star Wars universe."

Anyway, American woman in the US goes into an Apple store with her Iranian uncle and speaks to him in Farsi, sales guy hears, asks what language they're speaking and when they tell him it's Iranian he tells them they can't buy any Apple products.
When they complain to Apple they're told to order online so it doesn't happen again! Great vote of confidence in their shop staff!
My typical answer would be a pic of the Ancient Aliens guy with the text "Americans", but this isn't really an american thing at all, so:

It's because she said she was going to send it to her cousin in Iran. Apple has an embargo on Iran. People should stop overreacting to everything.

Article doesn't say anything about her wanting to send it to her cousin, the wording suggests the 19 year old American wanted the iPad for herself.

Wasn't that closed because it was turning into an Apple v Android thread?

That's probably because you're the only person bothered enough to get worked up by this.

It should be locked. If you want to discuss Apple then go to the Apple forum. If you want to tell us what you hate then post it in the "I hate ..." thread. If you just want to be angry and swear then go away and stop polluting XDA - your views aren't needed and you should remember there are youngsters here as well as old gits like me.
Some one had to do it. This thread may go in so many directions that I be pulling the Minority Report trick on it.
Thanks Scotty
