I was curious if anyone has any idea on how a live webcast could be mobile. I'm assuming there is some kind of phone out there that already does this, but I'm talking on a larger scale.
The only way I thought it could be possible is with a laptop that has one of those crazy ass wireless router things. I'm not even sure what those things are called.
Any thoughts?

HOLY SHIT, the last time I posted here was on page 42.

My skateboard's tail got to the point that when I ollied there would be pieces chipping off. These weren't small pieces either, grip tape and shit was coming off with it. My tail is jagged and really short.
You guys keep telling me all this shit like the boards and shoes last long...but then why the hell aren't mine? The only possibly reason is because of me stopping on my tail.

You mean how practically every branch of Christianity was created? Granted, I don't think any of them were created out of a desire for gay marriage, but how do you think we have divorces?
That's a little different. You don't go to the church to get a divorce and even that is a one time thing that could be forgiven because it only happens once (per marriage
). Gay marriage is a constant unless there is a divorce. It's like trying to be forgiven for stealing as you're pick-pocketing the priest.If there is a branch of Christianity for homosexuals...then don't you think they should be apart of that branch?
-
How about if the marriage didn't involve the church? Aren't politicians and the like allowed to marry through the courts? (I could be mistaken, but I think I've heard of something like that.)
Yes, they can do that, but I believe those marrying them in court might have to be Christian as well or, if not, might be coincidentally and also inadvertently causing them to sin.
But that sort of brings the problem back up as to where they'll get married...Vegas I guess.
I could be wrong about that though.
Being a Christian that follows a path that constantly goes against the Christian faith might not be considered a Christian or they'd be considered a subculture of the Christian faith.

Harwood Butcher, having a razor tailed board isn't really the end of you skateboard, but even still, if you want the tailbone then shit. Get it. About the Uber Light, yeah it's nice but it still breaks. my favorite part is that the pop is amazing. Not the durability, which is yeah, better than other boards, but it's not by a lot.
I don't care about a "razor tailed board", but mine grinded down...to no tail. No tail = no pop.
They are getting to the point where board durability "advancements" are hardly even worth mentioning.And about pop, my LibTech has amazing pop.
These are my two boards.
Your boards look kind of fucked up.
What happened to the trucks?

So, it's not okay to disagree with some aspects of your chosen faith? Perhaps the person in question was Catholic all of his or her life, but just so happens to be attracted to the same sex? This may seem like having your cake and eating it, too, but I personally don't know that many people who follow the Bible to a T.
Being attracted to the same sex is one thing, but getting married is involving the church 100%. Not only that but most of the things people do that are against the Christian faith, such as stealing, could be forgiven because it could be a one time thing and that's it. Getting married as a gay couple is a continuous thing and is a sin (obviously not a horrible one because it didn't make the top 10 list
). Therefore not only is the couple sinning, but also is causing those marrying them to sin.Allowing a gay Christian couple to marry is inadvertently forcing another to sin...and I don't think that's right.
-
I'm curious. If you were to know of a man who was gay, and was Christian, how would your belief and view stand?
I'm not sure if you're asking me, but I personally think that gay Christians are going against their religion, which I don't think is right. Although, I think they should be allowed to marry if they want to.
Why join a group if you don't agree with their beliefs?

God said we could use the animals of the Earth, just not abuse them.
Do you consider a fetus an animal or a human?
Are you telling me killing animals isn't considered abuse? What the fuck is then?
God said we could use the animals for our needs, (eating, making into tools, etc.)
But clearly not to torture them or do dog fighting, etc.
G2G
Again...how the hell is killing not torture???
Yes, you were called some names, which shouldn't happen. You're entitled to your opinion, but you're forgetting that we too have our own opinions. Thinking you're an idiot...is an opinion.
-
No, but I don't attack them, and I would appreciate it if you would stop attacking me.
You don't attack them...hmmm. Well homosexuals don't have the same beliefs as you...but you're saying that they can't get married. So you're attacking their beliefs.
What beliefs of yours am I attacking?

However, the bible shouldn't dictate non-Christians.
I didn't say it should (Though I do believe it should
), just said that was my reasoning.Ok, well you just said it now. Good job.
You are entitled to your own opinion and whatever, but did you read over the replies before making your own? I mean, because it indirectly says no in the bible, does that mean they are also against any form of love? Of course, people argue about the bible and what it says, but I'm not going to go into that.(This is what I believe:) God did not create women to do it with women and men to marry men. He created Adam and Eve, intending it to always be Men and Women.
(Sorry if I seem a little forward, these are just my opinions, not meant to insult any others)
Ok, if it's supposed to be men and women, then you go by your own beliefs and marry a women (provided that one would actually want to marry you).
Do you listen to other religious views from Jews or Muslims?
-
People, this forum was for civilized discussion. I have simply stated my opinions, never attacked any of yours.
Uhhh...NO. Things like, "He closed Guantanamo bay and wants to let the prisoners go free" is not a fact, opinion or anything. Yes, he's PLANNING on closing it but HE IS NOT letting them run free. know your facts before you try to state an opinion.
It's like you're living in your own little world.

I'm not expecting much out of Obama myself, but damn, your reasons are ridiculous and pathetic.
1) He's for abortion (a.k.a. legalized murder)So you don't think that women should have that right? Why?
Don't get me wrong, I'm against abortion, but I don't really care what other people do if it doesn't concern me and I don't think anyone else should either. It's not like Obama is telling people to have abortions, he's simply giving them the choice.
2) His first day in office he signed a bill that allowed our taxes to be used for overseas abortions. (Quite a priority apparently
)I did not hear of this, but did you ever think that he's doing this in places that might be suffering from the lack of nutrition and is preventing more people from suffering?
3) Obama Biden sounds a lot like Osama Bin LadenWhat the hell kind of reason is that?
Ok then, "George Bush and Dick Cheney"...OH MY GOSH! "BUSH AND DICK" SOUNDS LIKE A SEXUAL REFERENCE. WE CAN'T HAVE PEOPLE WITH THOSE NAMES RUNNING OUR COUNTRY!!!11!!11!1!1!!
4) His first telecast was for Iranians. Wow."Wow" indeed. That must mean he's a terrorist...I see your point completely.
5) He closed Guantanamo bay and wants to let the prisoners go free.It's not like he's letting them run loose. He's just handling all that shit in court to give them their rights.
6) He's a democrat and very liberalOH FUCK!!! He wants to help the working class? That's crazy.
7) Wants a 1.3 Trillion dollar stimulus bill....Do you even know what for?
8) Wants to pull out of the Iraq WarWhy do you want war? We can't stop terrorism. It's like trying to stop rain from hitting the ground.
9) Supports legal gay marriageAnd...?
10) He's very unexperiencedWhat, at being president? NO SHIT, he just started.

My boards have always been even the whole way through. Well, not necessarily, but the nose and tail have always been interchangeable on my decks. Are you saying you ALWAYS stand on the same side of the board?
Yes I do. I started with a generic board and it had the word "Tattoo" on the grip tape. I got on the board so that when I looked down the word "Tattoo" wasn't upside down. Other than generic boards though, the tail is usually wider, which could be hard to determine some times. It's very obvious with my World Industries board.
EDIT: Also, I'm doubting the durability is worth it. I bought a 60 dollar Blind deck a few years ago((and by that, I mean it was like 4-5 years ago)). I still have this deck((haven't rode it in years)), and the hell I put it through. It had hardly any tail or nose anymore, I screwed the griptape all up, it isn't recognizable anymore as a brand, and it's got some huge cracks in it. It's been through storms, actual puddles, sand, thrown, tossed, slammed, etc.Check out the Uber light board. It's constructed a lot better than the average board. (Nate turned me on to this one)

That was my point - why is it socially unacceptable, why is it not considered normal? What excluded it from your culture's social norms?
For those that don't find it normal think that way because of their own personal beliefs and views. They might have been raised a certain way that influenced their opinion on that. As for our culture's social norms, they were mainly constructed during the birth of the US government. Some of which were reflected from the UK and other parts of the world. As cultures get older though, these social norms begin to fluctuate. This whole thing with gay marriage is a fluctuation and it probably won't ever be steady, but it will be more commonly accepted as time goes on.
This is sort of like how divorce was socially unacceptable at one point because the structure of one's family was one of the most important things in life, but as the structure of the family grew, divorce was more commonly accepted.

Tailbones wouldn't give you more pop. That doesn't make sense. And a new tailbone every 3 months? Do remember that we aren't using one-sided boards anymore. So that's 2 tailbones every 3 months. That's 10 dollars, not 5.
The tail of a skateboard is wider than the nose. So I wouldn't need to buy two tailbones. If I wanted to, I could by a tailbone and a nosebone, but that's not needed.
And if you're just doing it to have fun, and don't want to spend a lot of money on it, why not settle for a 60-70 dollar deck? Apparently decks have gone up in price in the past few years. However, 60 dollars is still better than 80, and that's if you go through a deck every two years((you can make them last if you absolutely have to)).Yeah, I messed up the cost of a board every two years, but from what I just said, $30-$40 for tailbones or $70 for a skateboard.
I might be getting an "uber light" board and I'd much rather buy tailebones than a new board and new grip tape. I would have to re-build my board and I don't want to do that more than I'd have to. If using tailbones prevents that, which I think it will, then I'll do it that way...provided that I actually find some fucking tailbones in a store somewhere or online. I've had no luck yet.
Yeah, I'm doing this for fun, but the "uber light" board is constructed better and is almost impossible to snap, but the tail will still grind down. Again, this is better financially.

and unless you buy a new pc for GTA, how can you spend $800...far out

Tailbones not only get in the way((the more space you have between the ground and your tail, the better)), but they look ridiculous. And then, furthermore, you have to make sure it's in the back everytime you step on your board((I always just threw it on the ground and went for it)). Just slam the tail down((with nothing on it)) to stop. Shit. Who cares? The deck will still last for years, and they're what, 50 dollars a piece? You'd end up paying the same amount as buying new tailbones, AND you usually have to buy a new board anyways.... So just save your money.
Like I said before, all of the stuff I've read about tailbones is that they actually give you more of a pop. I barely used my one board and it wasn't long before the tail totally grinded off. Certain boards are $50, but the one I want to get is around $70 and it's on sale at the moment. If I have to buy a new skateboard every two years or a tailbone every 3 or 4 months then I'll pay $140+ on skateboards every two years or only $30 to $40 every two years on tailbones.
You know I'll just be the first one to come out and say it: tailbones = poser skateboarding gear. If you're passionate about skateboarding, you won't let your financial situation hold you back.Nuff said.
LOL, do you really think I give a shit if people think I'm a "poser skateboarder"? I find it funny that part of your definition of a poser includes having a tailbone on your board. Apparently skills have nothing to do with your "skateboarder status" as long as you pull off the look.
I personally don't skateboard to have any particular image, I skateboard to have fun with my friends and I'd rather not spend a whole lot of money to do so.

OK, so I'm thinking of doing a parody in my spare time, but how can I make a mimic of the GTA IV PC load screens in MX 2004?
Is the PC version the same as the console version? I have a way of doing it in Photoshop. You could just have two layers, one being the actual image and the second being a cutout of the piece you want to sort of zoom in. Then you just resize that layer little by little and save the bunch and import them into Image Ready to save them as a GIF image.

Well when I play games I usually have one of my newest CDs in and I remember the games when I listen to those albums.
For example:
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City ~ Pantera - The Great Southern Trend Kill
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas ~ Slipknot - (self-named album)
Resistance/Resistance 2 ~ Mudvayne - Lost and Found & The New Game
Sims: Bustin' Out ~ Stabbing Westward - Darkest Days
Those are the only ones I could think of...but there are a lot.
Sort of an ironic topic because I constantly think about how my albums sort of match up with certain video game I have, whether they fit the game or not.

Those things will also look mighty stupid on your desk, if you do buy them put them away before your mates come over!
Why put them away? I'll shoot them in the face or something.

Your last paragraph is so true - most people can only explain homosexuality, and explain how it is different, but they can't say why it shouldn't happen. All they can say is its not normal, but what is normal? I think in the world, more people are gay than have ginger hair - does that make it abnormal? Should it be banned? And let's not forget that I was born this way, so it's very normal and natural. Getting your hair cut or wearing makeup is a lot less natural. So is driving a car.
In a sociological perspective, gay marriage isn't considered one of the norms in our society at this particular time. Although, it's not considered a taboo, but more or less in between mores and folkways. I think within the next 10 to 20 years it'll be considered a folkway.
"Normal" can be perceived in many different ways depending on our societies culture and the views of those giving such opinions. "Normal" to one person might not be "normal" to another person, so you can't really ask, "What is normal", because "normal" could be many different things.
You're view (not definition) on the word "normal" is a very open view and if more people thought that way then I think society would be a hell of a lot better, but society's ignorance doesn't allow certain people to think that way until they're faced with some sort of social conflict such as this.

If you find yourself in a compulsive shopping situation, then you should probably seek help for that...
I think I will...but won't buying a shrink further my problem?

Aborting for stem cell research is wrong, but if the baby was aborted because the female was raped and they then use it for stem cell research, then I don't really see any problem with that. Those fetuses might not have been born, but they were still able to help out the human race.
