lol. Well Ive had plenty of sites treat messages like this as spam- I know, as harmless as it is, and Ive been a member at all of them so Id better be safe than sorry. PS: after being roasted alive in a vat of hot oil there has to be the playing of unending rap music -perhaps a future method of Chinese torture... PS from previous: Ive checked, copyright is allowed along with whatever other precautions you need taken, and there is a sort of "site" copyright for writer's dream that gives anything you post the protection of the site- to the best it can, Esaul has focused a lot on preventing stolen work.

Im sure you can do that. I am not the leading admin for the site though, to figure that out one would need to contact Esaul either via PM from the site or email. The site has been officially moved here for technical reasons. I think the layout is cleaner anyways.

Thank you will do. I did not receive an email with the password for lvl 3 yet so if you could...

Anyone else? C'mon you know you want to... Have that old story you wrote back in school that no one paid attention too? A worthless poem you made when you were zoning out? We like em!

Dont worry you aren't alone. Some fleets have there own servers for UC as Remo said.

Houston: "Copy that." -And to the thing- Um, this is FICTION ALERT people... someone made it up to make money... kinda like the DaVinci Code. Am I right?

Thanks again! Id have to choose the SpecOps wing for me, that sounds like my thing. Cant wait to start, sir.

O, oops. I'll know for next time then.

O, I agree. Hey all. Welcome the noob, me. lol

Hi all. For times Im available, not consistently because i have busy schedule but approx. 6-9 PM Central Time Zone. (USA) In the GMT thing (I might have done this wrong) 4:22:20 p.m. to 04:23:30 pm.

Well I guess we just have to let China be China for now... If they think their system is good and they are realtively happy with it...well good for them Id say.

Well thanks anyways.

Oh I didnt even notice that. Well I think I put PMs on now, I think..., I didnt even know how to disable them or turn them on until now when I just looked lol. Thanks though. And if you ever consider joining, cool. The site's admin wants 50 members by may 10 though and were currently only at 36 because its so new so... yeh. And if you know anyone that likes that kind of stuff, tell them. Thanks agian!

I know this is technically classified as spamming but it really isnt...sort of. This is a message really for all writers or people who in general like to make up stories or poetry, etc... this is a good place to get other people to see it. We are very new right now and we are trying to reach a goal for members for our first month so anyone who is interested plz visit here Writer's Dream Forum This is a cool place and we would appreciate anyone who would like to come! Thanks all!

Definately.

"TODAY, PRESIDENT Bush will roll out the red carpet for Chinese President Hu Jintao, a leader whose government brutally crushes freedom, democracy and the religious expression of the Chinese and Tibetan people. Hu will receive the best welcome U.S. taxpayer money can buy, including full military honors and a 21-gun salute." You know there are other ways of stopping regimes than brute force- sometimes it is necessary, sometimes there are ways to avoid it. I think he hopes he can avoid forcing a settlement on issues by showing hospitality.

Ive seen other past versions, but this one looks like a big step for holodisplay projectors... This is a google image search, check out the pictures: Heliodisplay This is a site: Site Thought it was pretty cool.

You can fold anything to make it look like anything. funny though

Belongs in the humor section... but quite entertaining!

Food is always on the mind... *Goes and digs into the fridge* Hmm...

Here you go strait from your source: "Earth is already heavily populated. Its population will grow from the present 6 billion to at least 9 billion by 2050." It doesnt matter about JUST the United States, the population is going up due to illegal immagrants, sure, but those people come from somewhere too. Its the whole world we have to look at, because what happens elsewhere effects the global community.And it really doesnt matter about how low or high the birth rate is, the death rate is far less and gettting smaller each year, meaning the population is still growing each year too. A little population growth is fine, but things are looking to start increasing exponentially. And its not as simple as saying population increase is because of something else or some other cause- the world population is going to continue rising at the rate we are at, and eventually that is going to be a problem. "Anything else you want me to take apart with facts and logic?" How bout try the little scenario I made last post. I cant beleive that you cant agree with some of that.

"What's at steak?" I like mine medium-rare... "Line of duty death benefits for his family. Funny, cigarettes cause lung cancer but that the 911 contaminated air couldn't. Again, what a bunch of hypocrites." What???

Yeh Soback, all those problems were not mentioned by me... I was quoting someone else if you would go back and check that. And the thing is, we are going to end up BEING a third world country someday if we cant learn to balance things out and slow down our technological rate of advancement. That might sound like a paradox, but it really isnt. The basis is, one little thing now can or already is, starting a chain reaction that will gradually increase in power over time. Taking the medicine and age-expanision example from before... If you look at population charts these days, not just for America but the entire world, you will see a strange thing, the birth rate is almost three times the death rate in this country alone. Not that that is bad now, but it very well could be. The main reason for that is how advanced medicine has become. We need basic medicine and medical technology, that is part of civilization today, but are beggining to take things too far. They have medicine for almost everything you can think of from itches to wrinkled skin. And there is less and less that really poses any threat to us anymore. Of course it is good to have everyone live long and stay healthy, but HOW LONG is the question. 1000 years ago human lifespan was 40 yrs. Not long ago it was 80 yrs. Soon it is said to go up to 120 yrs. How long until we stretch ourselves to the limits? If everyone starts living to that age, the population is going to start doubling annually. Though it isnt so big a deal here, in England and European countries, at that rate there would be no more space for people. Even in the US, its hard to go anywhere these days where land isnt claimed. The solution for modern people? Clear the forests, get rid of farmland, build more houses... of course at the expense of all those things which are just as important, but few people care about that anymore, sadly enough. Right now we have about adequate food supplies for everyone at a nice ratio, but start adding millions to the population and subtracting as much farmland as it costs to build the homes, and suddenly that balance begins to sway. In the long years it takes for the government to take notice and attempt to do something about it, this same thing is happening over and over again. Living quality goes down, people begin to start livng in tighter areas much like Tokyo today. (Why is it ironic that the asians always figure this stuff out before us. They are the only countries to have addressed this problem outright.) But remember also, the more people, the higher the unemployment rate, the more buissnesses that have to be created to compensate (taking up more space), then more roads, more traffic, greater need for cars (which brings more polution), greater need for EVERYTHING! It just starts piling up, slowly at first, but then gets worse until there there is little to be done that can help the problem. China had to make a population law because of its own problems, if we keep at it, eventually we are going to have to do the same. If technology is going to keep going up at the rate we are going, something has to be taken away to compensate, or natural courses will take it all away for us.

First of all, third world countries do not apply to "surpassing the limits" because they are generally far behind us in technology and advancements. The US isnt the main problem right now and we havent begun to see the effects of what is happening in the world at large yet (we will probably be the last to) but a lot of little things we barely think about are going to come back and bite us someday- whether it be in fifty years or a thousand years. My main point is not that technology/ medical advancement is bad, in fact, it is very good. But at the rate we have developed it we are begining to see no limits. We can clone people, genetically mutate people, create people, make people live to insane ages... ten years ago that wasnt possible, and what Im saying is that either we take things slowly and let nature balance with what we have created, or stop altogether before everything is lost in the meantime.

Now what were all you people saying about no-smoking laws never going to be passed?
