    If you ever go, Skip might as well close the forums. :(

    Ac....no, I was going to say something quite rude. But I won't.
    I've always had a softer side...with out light there is no shade.

    bullshit.

    without light there is an absence of light, which is darkness

    which is presumptively, shade,

    Shade is the blocking of sunlight (in particular direct sunshine) by any object, and also the shadow created by that object.

    Good morning,

    it depends a lot on what you expect from the forums. What do YOU expect from the forums?


    My years at the university were the best. I had enough time at my hands to hang around in usenet, to get drunk every other night, to watch nature changing over the year, to figure things out and to hack just for fun and many other stuff. And I get good grades. But times have changed, I guess. Today everything and everyone has to go fast, fast, fast. More courses in less time, student loans are pressing and further more. In my opinion that's not the best environment to form educated people that should be our future.


    Send pics ;).

    Regards
    A fan

    With shade there is also darkness, yes.
    To have shade you need light to create darkness.
    So you have darkness and light together double teaming obstructions.
    Darkness is the adsence of light.
    Therefore no shade.
    Shade is not darkness.

    (we should start another thread, this could go on for quite some time)

    I think there can be a balance.

    There just was no balance.

    :rolleyes:

    I like them because people are nice. Because it's fun. Because I get to meet a lot of different kinds from all over.

    I expect people to be nice. I expect it to be fun. I expect to meet a lot of different kinds from all over.

    It doesn't seem as fun as it used to be. :eek:

    No. It's not that attractive. ;)

    P.S A fan? Aww.

    :mad: Never. Returning. Now.

    (I'm only joking)

    That is why I only post 3-4 days a week.

    People are getting too defensive recently. IMO.


    To be serious for a mo, it IS because of people like you, I come here...otherwise I'd be trapped with fucking morons.

    Hi,

    my expectations are very similar. And -as I stated before- it's an experiment for me. I haven't used web forums before and I want to see if I can become familiar with that kind of media. I don't expect to find great wisdom at every corner here, but sometimes I find pearls. It's interessting to see how people with a different cultural and social background act and react.

    I have to see it to judge ;).

    Yepp, and it's your fault ;).

    Regards

    People are getting too defensive. I get too defensive sometimes. I've gotten better though, I think.

    People like me? :confused:

    That's what I think, too.

    I also think it's great with so many different personalities that really do feel to be compacted in a little space. I can kind of see peoples personalities, and the different ways they type and stuff is awesome. I think it's fun. :) Especially when you get to the point you can kind of predict what someone else is going to say.

    Take my word for it. Staying up all night doesn't exactly leave you with bright eyes and a glowing complexion.

    And I'm sorry. :(

    You have been ok with me, but we rarely talk about anything that needs anybody to get defensive.

    Think of a few people you may think I'm not keen on. Your not one of them.

    It's because you're not offensive.

    That NZ thread Face Eater made.. I got really defensive about that. I didn't even realize it wasn't serious. :rolleyes: Even if it was I shouldn't have got so mad. :eek:

    Oh. :cool:
