I just saw a news story about an elementary school (Hilltop Children's Center) that banned children from playing with legos.??Apparently, the students (2nd graders) were building a lego town and some of the houses were bigger than others.??Students began claiming the "best houses", which the teachers believed incorporates ?assumptions about ownership and the social power it conveys, (assumptions which) mirrored those of a class-based, capitalist society ? a society that we teachers believe to be unjust and oppressive.?

The ban has recently been lifted, but new rules are in place.??They are, in a nutshell:

All houses will be standard sizes.??None will be bigger than the others.

Everyone owns them.

This is ridiculous.??Legos are toys, nothing more.??The idea that they represent a "capitalist society" is stupid.??What the students are doing is called 'competition'.??They're encouraged (hopefully) to do their best in life, so of course they'll strive to make the best lego house.??And since they built it, it is theirs to claim.??Everyone has the right to be proud of their accomplishments and mark them as their own.

If we start banning children from striving to be better than the rest and taking pride in their accomplishments, we destroy their self-esteem and desire to be successful.??Sure, the people they out do may feel bad, but there's nothing preventing those people from becoming the best either, except their own lack of motivation.??That's the way the world works; you want to do good, you have to work for it.

Just saw this clip (http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/pirateso...dsend.html) and the movie looks great! I can already tell that this will be a great movie.

Well... Do you? I've been trying to hang out there same, but I consistently find myself alone. The only time I wasn't was when I poked Dreamous Iceling in joining me.

DaD turns 8 years old this month ^^

Just thought you would like to know.

Fun facts:

-The site was originally hosted on a free porno server, and had horrible ads all over it

-The site was only 3 years old when it was featured as the awful link of the day at Somthingawful.com. http://www.somethingawful.com/d/awful-li...k-1002.php

-I originally had a 'How To Draw' section. It was quite horrible. Somthingawful made fun of me for it. I had it coming.

-The first real technical advancements were the mIRC chat room and the php message board. I had absolutely no clue what these were beforehand. I got a lot of help from friends.

ok guys, I don't think I'll be on much...family issues, nothing bad, just bad communication between parents...now I'll be on at random times until this miscommunication gets fixed.

at the moment I'm posting from the school's computer. news as it comes....

A movie was stated as '"Mature only, consist sex and violence". But if the movie got both sexual and violence, government will censor those sexual parts.

Example:
Censored girl kiss boy. But didn't censor head being chopped down and blood splashing.

Censored girl remove shirt and could see bra. But didn't censored spear pierced through chest and blood flying out.

I am wondering, what is the standard of 'violence and sex'?

If we can see how head flying around, why can't we see girl kiss boy?
Does this mean that government loves violence scences but hates making love scences?

How do they define 'violence and sexual scences'? How violence is really 'violence'?

in 300 movie, they never censored those bloody scences, but censored the kissing scences.

The first time I took this quiz, I got Kojiro Hyuga. Man, have I really mellowed down.??It's a quiz for guys, but I still did it changing genders.



Huh? Ah, hello, Matsuyama! You're quite a strong guy who knows what he wants and has his heart and head usually in the right places. And as a plus, you're quite the romantic hero of the Third Tournament. You endure hardships with a smirk and go against all odds along with your friends and beloved. That's okay, keep on!

300 was a great movie.
More blood and corpse than total 7 seasons of CSI. :Eek:
Luckily government didn't censor much...

This is like "strangest dream" topic but more sex wise. Ever seen a dream so fucked up you didn't even think it'd be possible, yet you wake up all excited and such? Mine is very weird indeed so sit down and grab a smoke.

So I saw this Nightmare on Elmstreet sort of a dream. (Which is weird, since I never liked the movies) Before this part there was also Jaws and some weird demon or something but I can't remember that so well, so I'll skip that part. (Plus, it has almost nothing to do with this part)

The Elmstreet sequence started out from some house party or something. There were the usual stock of teen slasher cast; addicts, tramps, "good girls", comedic reliefs, etc.

Anyway, after one of the person's who passed out from alcohol was disembowled Freddy takes a form of an attractive woman. (I think she smoked weed and Freddy took over her body, much like he took over the body of that one stoner in Freddy vs Jason) So now he's in the real world again and decides to celebrate with old fashioned slaughter fest. She invites the comedic relief (who's some fatso by the by) to come with her to a private room and she reveals she has a huge penis that goes over to her head. Its tip is like Freddy's head and it's giving out this orange goo off its side. The comedic relief's all like "whoa, that's the biggest dick I've seen on chick" and she's walking closer and the Freddy penis opens its mouth and heaps of blood splatters over the walls while he screams.

Cue to party, there's these two girls rubbing each other's off, the other has this awesome biker girl outfit and leather jacket while the other was dressed in this tight T shirt and cut out jeans. Anyway, the good girl is watching them and rubbing her hairy pussy (good girls are naughty girls who don't get caught), the other one of them is kind of annoyed at that but the other girl just gets more turned on by the audience so they let her watch. Soon Freddy walks towards the "good girl" in ready to kill her when she stops next to lesbians, obviously enjoying the festives as much as anyone would.

Cut to Freddy woman fucking the biker chick and then ever now switch between him having sex with the other chick. The visions are switched between them, then the huge dick goes through the biker chick's left tit and the end result resembles bloody cauliflower with semen dropping down to floor and the girl is drooling blood and is quite dead. Then we're cut to the other woman and Freddy ejaculates into her and her head explodes "I told you I'd fuck your brains out whore," Freddy laughs.

My alarm bell rang. :((
