  1. ^I don't know 'bout the wierd names you Americans and british and whatever give to salads

    < Only knows good old tomato, lettuce and onion salad, with olive oil, vinagre and a bit of salt XD

    V Has read my thread about Pets?

  2. I was joking. Stop being so serious.

    Haha, I rarely AM serious when I speak dude. That's the problem about internet chatting and forums. You can't really notice the tone on one's voice.

    Well, anyway. Thanks for your vote, Napoleon. I actually do love yours.

  3. I was going to post this around Balamb Café, but I seriously don't want people to take this as a joke, since it is not.

    It's rather sad that these days people still decide to have pets. It's a well common fact, known by basically everyone, that the number of abandonment of pets increases 'round summer hollidays.

    Let's face it, nobody wants to take their pets with them, how bothersome! And nobody wants to PAY to get them taken care of, either. It'd be money wasted, that could be used for something else doing the vacations. And it's always easier to get rid of the pets while the kids are out.

    I just have one little sentence for all you people out there that still think this is rational behavior. "FUCK - YOU"

    I myself have owned dogs for as long as I remember, and I will continue to do so for as long as I live.

    Around these'ere parts, there isn't a single day that you walk outside, and not see 10+ dogs and cats, abandoned out in the street. People complain of this, saying that it's not healthy for a city to be infested with animals out in the street, and can be dangerous, given the very nature of the animals.

    Here's a bitchslap of truth to their faces:

    1 - If you don't think it's healthy, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. If you're so concerned for your health, than help your community establish a place where unwanted animals can be kept safely, a big, friendly place for them to live happily without going through the risk of being killed in a drive-by, or runover, or worse. There are more than enough people willing to work in these communities, and I'd go even further, saying that most of these people would work for free.

    2 - One of the main reasons why people abandon pets is also because they become agressive and/or have harmed any of the family members, usually including children. See, animals ARE born with their natural instinct, but that is easily restrained if the animals are well taken care of to begin with. And you say:

    "Well, I got my pet way after he was born, so I had no idea."

    And I answer.

    "Well, you're an ass. If you picked the animal at an animal shelter, you HAD to know if it was agressive or not. Only speciallised tamers and owners are qualified to take care of these particular cases, and if you can't handle it, you can't handle it, period."

    I will share a story with you:

    It was a rainy day. I was walking home from school when I saw someone croutching over on the corner between two buildings. I thought something was wrong, so I had to check it out.

    This middle-aged woman rose upwards and looked at me. As I looked down I noticed three small pupies in a cardboard box, I'd say about two weeks old. I looked over to the lady, she smiled back at me and croutched over to them again. I asked her why she was doing it, and she looked back at me and smiled. She said that she was just covering up the puppies until the rain stops.

    The raindrops, falling diagonally, hit the little puppies directly. I supposed she couldn't keep them, nor take them home. The puppies were too young to make it alone out in the street. But there she was, out in the cold just to try and save the puppies' lives just a little longer. A couple walked by and saw the scene. They were simply stunned by the cuteness of the puppies that they asked the lady if they could keep them. Hesitating, I asked them if they were sure about truly wanting to keep them. They answered back to me decisively. They pointed out to where they house was and told me that I could go and visit the three puppies anytime I'd like, seen as they had a backyard.

    Nowadays, the three puppies are grown up, and very happy, as it seems. I still visit them everytime I walk by. I seem to have become a friend of the couple's as well.

    What I'm trying to get to is, people all around the world would definately give most of their spare time to help these little friends, because they have agnoledged that they are living beings, and most honestly, sometimes deserve life more than some of us humans.

    I am very....lacking in the monetary department. One of my dreams is to establish a safe, well maintained animal shelter. For any kind of animal.

    I still hold onto that dream since from a very young age, and I just know that someday, it'll be done. But until I can't, this is something I decided to do.

    I bet many already had this idea, but I can never stress the importance of the issue at hand enough. So from now on, here is a banner.

    Untitled-11.png

    This banner's called Friend. Anyone who wishes to join this campaign, and agrees with my point of view, feel free to use it, not only here, but in any other forum you atend to.

    Also, feel free to pass on the word and history to the Friend Project to all other forums you atend to, if you wish, and pass on the Friend banner for anyone to use as well. From person to person, I just bet that someday, that banner's gonna be known, and maybe, JUST maybe, it'll do a little something about the whole issue.

    Yes, I dream too highly. But then again, ain't that what life's all 'bout?

    PS - Only add credit to the banner if you truly wish to. I seriously don't need it.

  4. It would still be a popularity contest.

    People like me, or Draz, or Kyo, who joined the forum relatively a short period of time ago, would never be able to win. We wouldn't even be able to compete, seen as nobody really knows us from THIS forum and it's history, as we're pretty much "transfer students".

    A tournament's main goal is for the better at something to win, right? In order to do so, everyone should be able to apply and have equal possibilities. People like Vivi Kailo or some of sorts would never post for someone like me, for example, because they got in their minds that we suck badly without even taking 5 minutes to stop, sit down and get to know the people.

    And like EO said, and well, afterwards come the angst. And then, more thread fights. And so on.

    I dunno. Koby's da big pimp daddy 'round here, so I guess t'sall up to him.

    I do give this idea off through the winds.

    We COULD do some sort of a quiz, of multiple questions. A limited entry number, and then people would vote for who they seem to like the most. Basically like those beauty pageant contests where they all "love children and want to make the world a better place".

    I guess the members would have to be trusted to be completely honest on their answers...

  5. Oh well I understand everyone so yeah. So it's a sig looking like a painted guitar with a character that needs a lot of focus to recognize xD.

    Shinji: Oh wait, I didn't criticize you a bit! No one is perfect. The text you're using is ridiculous and cannot be read unless we ask you what's written in there. Oh and why does it look like his chin has been cut (there's no blood though)?

    You would not recognise the character anyway. Btw, maybe you should get a bigger monitor.

    And I guess everyone knows what's written there. It's:

    BANKAI - Now or never.

  6. She didn't say anything confusing, and even if she did, there's always a dictionary. I apologize if you are unable to use one. Patience? Damn, I must have forgot that if a post is longer than fifty words, it's incomprehensible and must be meaningless.

    Are you american? Seriously, are you?

    Well, I'm not. Nor british, nor any other nationality whose main language is english. So yes, it can be confusing. I apologise for not dedicating my life to using expansive and/or words that you need to check a dictionary for to understand. And yes, a post can be pretty pointless if you could either just say yes or not then a small simple explanation of the why, don't you think? I guess not.

    I'm sorry for being "rude" to you, EO. There, that what you wanted, Milkjob? That was really my point. Sorry EO, seriously. Verbal-arguments are definately not my strong point. And I guess I have to apologise to The Incredible Hulk here for "saving the day".
