And if parents really want their children to be forced to pray in school that much, they can always send their children to any number of religious schools. I went to Catholic schools for thirteen years...and actually, the education was pretty good too, especially in the high school.
...Of course, my high school was extremely liberal and I always got weird looks from all the conservatives when I mentioned that I went there.
You'll be hearing that noise in your head for the next few days, but it will eventually wear off. Be thankful whenever you can walk away from any accident.
Plumber came and take away most of my money.
I need money.
"Oh, here's what's clogging the system up, the $20,000 you flushed. What, you didn't flush $20,000? Then we need to get busy! I have a reputation to uphold!"
First: I abandoned this thread a long time ago, but I've decided to come back. I just couldn't stay away from you crazy people and your insanely wonderful thoughts.
Second: School sucks, even more so than usual. I'm starting to think that I'll lose all of my academic capability by the time I'm done with college.
Third: It's been almost Six months since I decided to watch one of the most infamous cartoon shows ever made. And i still remember my initial reaction:
I just watched something I never thought I would watch in a million years...
Lo and behold, It's now been almost half a year since my shocking investigation into the realms of Equestria. And now it's taken control of every single moment of my private thoughts. I've created a short comic describing my first experiences, I've been involved in several MSTs related to the phenomena, and now I have my own frickin' OC as an avatar. Is there something wrong with me or am I just conforming to the herd?

I think I seriously need some help.

The thing is, I'm autistic, which basically means that if I gain an interest in something, then that interest will automatically take up most of my thought process.

In other words, stop being a jerk. It's not making you seem like a better person

Just got back from a great showing of the Colin Mocheri and Brad Sherwood improv show. I freaking love those guys, but its a shame its an annual event.
Best part was Brad commiting the crime of rigging the winners of the X-factor while fondoling Elmo with a bowling ball and snow globe

Dude, I totally get this. I generally get obsessed with about three different things a week. On average. The way to beat it is to get obsessed with lots of things in rapid succession simultaneously. Basically, you learn enough to be something of an expert in as little time as possible and move on, while still keeping tabs on all the things you've previously been obsessed with!
At the moment, I'm obsessed with How I Met Your Mother, Dungeons of Dredmor, and this Harry Potter fanfic that I can't stop re-reading. And the Three Stooges. Oh, and finals. Them too.
He was obsessed with Care Bears for about 5 years! XD
He's into Hamtaro, (and Sylvannian Families), now, which admittadely isn't as bad.
(Especially since it used to be Popples. I HATE THAT CARTOON! I HATE IT! I HATE IT! I HATE IT!!!!!)
Though why he has to have each episode in English, French, Spanish, German, and Japanese is just beyond me.
(Though he does this with DVDs all the time. He'll watch every old movie he's got in almost all the available languages. Though he doesn't understand any of it... )
He's pretty awesome though. Always up for a good old fashioned Beat'em'Up. His favourite has to be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
(He's a puzzle nut too. Absolutely loves them. We compete all the time on Puzzle Bobble on our arcade machine. Fun times)

You mean you have Asperger's Syndrome, right?
I know a couple of people who have that. One of them I have known since 7th grade.
My sister has Asperger's. Diagnosed. I must admit, don't really understand how that diagnosing part works. Asperger seems to have a vast number of symptoms, and if you have a certain conglomerate of those syndroms, your medicine man of choice may or may not say you have Asperger. My sister has no deficit in multitasking, just some... interesting... problems with social interaction that many of my relatives interpret as just plain maximum impoliteness.
Should I just PM it to you? Also, how fantastic it is depends on how much you like extremely depressing stories that also have hilarious bits and an excellent plot. And Snape. And Lily. And those fucking Marauders who's faces I swear I wanted to bash in at the end of the last chapter I read. This author...took a character that I really liked, Sirius Black, and made him into a character that I now loathe. It was brilliant.
Hence the whole niche thing. Personally, I love it.
Basically this.
Also, I'm slightly to very annoyed at what people these days call "good movie".
By todays standards, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn is a pretty shite movie. You can't watch any of Mel Brooks' movies without thinking the jokes are kind of childish. Yet they were all entertaining.
Today, it's all about the storyline, and if people even just slightly enjoy the more popular movies (which are, obviously, popular for a reason) you get the "watch good movies" card.
I mean, fuck the people who hated the Transformers trilogy. Story-wise they're terrible movies, but since when did I read the word "Transformers" and think of "good storyline"? All I can hear are the various explosions that I expect to hear. I don't give a crap about the whole fued between the Autobots and the Decepticons. When I watched the original cartoons all I wanted to see was robots fighting and, you know, transforming. And if there's one thing Michael Bay did right, it's the explosions. And the fighting and the transforming, but mostly the explosions.
Boom.
Pow.
Yeah, what was I talking about again?
Oh yeah.
Now I do get that people think the newest <insert genre> Movie films are pretty shite to the max, which makes scat porn look like a fart, and people are, for some reason, annoyed by all the various tween bawlerdrama films and the movies which apparently only work because of the sex and stuff, but I'm not talking about those movies. I'm talking about the movies where there are no expectations.
Now I do expected people to not like the Yogi Bear movie, for one obvious reason. Nobody even liked Yogi Bear at all, so how can they like the movie? That's why the movie did work for me, because I grew up with Hanna-Barbera cartoons and actually did enjoy the Yogi Bear show. I enjoyed the Yogi Bear movies for what they were. I also enjoyed both Scooby-Doo movies, despite the movies being crap... for adults. Because, you know, I can see why kids would like the movies.
But Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is on a different level from all those other movies I mentioned earlier. It's not marketed to the general audience, to a wide audience even. It's the sort of movie that is mostly aimed at those who actually know the comics, or who are at least interested in stuff that only a few people get.
The thing that annoys me about people who think it's shit is not the fact that they think it's shit, but the fact that they feel so entitled that they can call YOU shit for liking it.
And that is what I call bullshit.
Also, while we're at it.
I love the High School Musical series, so eat my shorts.
I'm going to start off by saying that I'm NOT calling anyone here a liar. It's just that there are so many people around talking about Asperger's Syndrome and people they know, family members etc. Even at the highest estimated rates, this syndrome affects less than 1 in every 200 people. It feels like this is just the new ADD cop-out around. Reiterating again, I'm not saying that the 3 people mentioned do not have it, but considering how highly publicised and often mentioned this syndrome is, a whole lot of people don't.
I went through a whole lot of diagnoses as a child that eventually I said screw this when I turned 18 and stopped taking any medications or seeing any psychiatrists. I do alright. I may not be "normal", but I'm living, working, and in a relationship. I don't need anymore characterisations than that.
edit: Just for those wondering, I was diagnosed: ADHD, OCD, Insomniac, Socially Uncomfortable(to the point I can't even watch most sitcoms because when something I know is going to happen that will backfire or create social tension, etc I almost literally can't watch it...pretty messed up eh?)

Yes, some people do like shiny things that make noise. For people who desire something with substance and value, however, the Transformers trilogy offers...nothing. It is poorly edited, poorly choreographed, poorly written(the only criticism you answered at all and, incidentally, it's a criticism you essentially agreed with), poorly acted, and, as you said, the only redeeming value is in the "Oooh, shiny things!" factor. Considering that cinema is a deep and compelling artform, these are shit. We transitioned from the Cinema of Attractions era and into the narrative one because shiny things are not enough.
Right now, the art form is regressing back into pre-narrative bullshit. The core values of filmmaking now amount to the same core values that lead a parent to dangle their car keys in front of an infant. Film experiences HAVE NO SUBSTANCE. They exist to DISTRACT, not to express, convey, communicate. This, to a cinephile, is the ultimate crime.
If I saw a grown man laughing, giggling in hysteria, and falling over in joy because someone dangled keys in front of them, yes, I would insult them. And I feel free to insult anyone who treats the Transformers films as anything more than a guilty pleasure. These ARE bad movies. This is an objective fact. To pretend that they have any sort of value is ridiculous, insane, and outright stupid.

I mostly agree here. While, I usually don't openly degrade people for it, I can't help shake my head at people who don't distinguish a favourite movie and a great movie. I love Die Hard, but I'm not going around saying it's one of the greatest movies ever made. To me, it's great because it is just so enjoyable to watch...but I guess this goes back to comparing "movies" to "film".
As far as expressing and communicating something, I would put forth the first eight minutes of UP and the first however many minutes of Land Before Time as my favorite bits of film out there. The only two times in a movie where a depressing scene made me cry. Took some doing, I can say that.

The opening segments of Up and Wall-E are a million times better than everything that comes afterwards(though Up has a few solid moments after that too, like the kid talking about his family life and the bit with the adventurer skulls). These segments give me the impression that Pixar could be making movies that are far better than the ones they're making, if they'd just put these kinds of things at the center rather than using them as garnishes.

Had to stop you there. Cinema isn't just that. It's also there to entertain us. I mean, it's the same thing as saying video games are an artform. No, it isn't, it's only there to either make money or to entertain others. Mostly to make money.
When I go to the movies in cinema, I'll go there to get entertained. If I want to be artistically stimulated, I buy the DVD / Blu-Ray. Movies like Reign Over Me are great to watch on DVD because that way I wouldn't have to spend a shitton just to see "art". I would only have to pay for it once. Repo: The Genetic Opera is one of those movies I would only want to watch on DVD or Blu-Ray because it isn't the type of movie I'd watch in the cinemas.
I'm not paying to see an artistic movie in a big screen or in IMAX. When I go to IMAX, I make damn sure it's the kind of movie that actually benefits from a higher resolution.
It's also one of the reasons I never or rarely go to a comedy or chick flick, even though I enjoy both genres. I only buy them. The most notable exception to this rule is Disney animated features, but those really are the exception (also mostly because they don't make animated features anymore that are hand drawn, that and I'm broke like MC Hammer).

As far as I heard Aspergers hasn't been used professionally in a long while since they now grade autism in, well, grades. Seeing as there are different grades of autism.
The opening segments of Up and Wall-E are a million times better than everything that comes afterwards(though Up has a few solid moments after that too, like the kid talking about his family life and the bit with the adventurer skulls). These segments give me the impression that Pixar could be making movies that are far better than the ones they're making, if they'd just put these kinds of things at the center rather than using them as garnishes.
I'm afraid the talking dogs sort of ruined UP for me a little bit. If they hadn't been there, the movie would have been so much better. But the opening sequence makes a nice short film in and of itself.
Actually, my favorite comment on the clip on youtube is "Not only can Pixar tell a better story in 4 min 21 sec then twilight can in 5 movies, they can do it without making the characters talk AT ALL."

Ah, so stupidity improves if it's larger. Got it. Now that you're a for reals grown up, the shiny shinies dangled in front of your face have to be larger. Makes sense.

Yeah, I'd say the movie is actually really good if the talking dogs are removed entirely and the bird is toned down a bit.

I guess I should remove Skyrim from my PS3 Wish List and add the PC version. It sounds like there are some issues that may not be fixed even with a patch for that hardware configuration.
I just don't think anybody's tastes are any better than someone else's in almost all cases. We're all just flesh bags that end up in the dirt. In a largely meaningless universe everything boils down to enjoying whatever you will enjoy.

Idea which doesn't really matter matter due to simply being insignificant life forms on an uninteresting planet orbiting an average star in an insanely large and ultimately uncaring Universe, and from an objective standpoint we entirely short-lived and inconsequential no matter what we do.
Because humor is completely subjective and therefore often difficult to relate between people with different tastes and life experiences. I mean, people sometimes think I'm funny, for goodness sakes!
