I would argue that we never would've come even that far though if there weren't people actively working to change people's minds, however futile it may seem. :/

I know its gonna sound bad, and selfish. Im not going to waste my breath trying to educate some person who lives in a different state. Let them be ignorant. I choose to live in a state/city where i dont have to deal with people like that. If they come to California/West Hollywood. Ill deal with them then. I live in my bubble where ignorant people like that dont exist, and im quite content with it.

Nice to see you Darkapple here. Damn, I kinda felt that you were family when we were farming for hand seals with Muffins and company awhile back.

For example, I didn't post in the thread in question because it'd probably get nuked for being off topic and stirring up trouble. And sometimes I'm just too damn tired to deal with people. But anyone I consider a close friend will at some time hear my rant lol XD
Hope your nuggets were worth the work.^^ I pulled a muscle in my right arm last week and haven't been to the rec in a few days, starting to get antsy. D: Hoping to jump back in tomorrow err, today* lol

Hello im a bit infrequent here, but hi again. I think for our nugget afficianos there is a video of a dude eating 50 of them in 1 sitting. But if we want a good figure, we shouldn't be doing that!

Dang, 50. o___o;;
You could fit that into a balanced diet--it'd just take a pretty intense activity level lol

I think its fine to be the "activist" if u choose to be. But there's a place and time. FFXIAH isnt really one of them. Realistically ur not going to make any revolutionary changes via a thread post. Now going up to someone in RL when u hear it and saying something, that'll make them listen.
Most of the posters are middle or high school kids. Who hide behind their video game avatar. The truth be told. I guarantee u if u told one of these guys off in real life about using such language u'd be more successful versus a thread lecture.
Why? because they are still protected by their "RPG persona." In real life the only thing that protects them is them-self. Theres no Aegis no WHM to protect their ignorance in real-life. :)

Wendy's has some fantastic nuggets!
Speaking of fantastic food, I had yellow curry soup for the first time the other week. It was absolutely delicious. It was yellow coconut curry with cabbage, spinach, chicken, noodles. omg~

Usually a post sparks an exchange of PMs, so on and so forth. I've certainly had my opinions on a lot of issues challenged and even changed. :o tbh I'm always pretty impressed with the community that posts in these forums.^^

Hey fatties...i mean friends. Another week down 5 more lbs shaved off, too bad I'll gain some back from the cruise! (but hey you only turn 28 once)
PS Carrelo I love your new profile pic and this thread has had too much lack of Ruiz lately, where is he? :(

Just curious to see how many of us actually play FFXI. **Now, let's try to keep this clean, please don't respond if you have nothing nice to say.** :] Don't be shy, speak up! :D
EDIT: You don't have to be gay to post in here, if you want to be apart of our conversations.. feel free to join in! Don't be shy, we don't bite.. well some of us do! :] Anyyyyyways~! This thread has become a home to many from the LGBT community & even some from the straight community who are open minded and enjoy chit-chatting with us, :] so let's keep it drama free, we deserve a place where we can be ourselves without being made fun of/harassed.
