That’s a very honest assessment of yourself and i don’t think many people would post it on a public forum. Anyone who reads this will defenitley get a better picture of the real you.
Whatever you decide to do, i hope it all goes well.
I had 41. I probably do sometimes spend too much time online and let it affect my work when something needs doing but i dont always let it get in the way. They’res lots of things i prefer to do.

Like Jeff said, it really shows you what a microsoft box is really like compared to the simple i-pod box. I don’t think i’ve ever seen a micorsoft box not full of text and costing a lot of money.
88% scored higher (more nerdy), and
12% scored lower (less nerdy).What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:
Not nerdy, but then again maybe not all that cool either
I’d say thats about right.:D

As I grew up, I always thought she was so wonderful…yes I’m a Yank…but still loved to watch Diana. I was devastated the day I heard she had been killed. It happened to be a night I could not sleep…so I was watch TV and completely stunned. It was hours before I could share my sadness with the rest of my family.
It is a bit silly I guess…but I REALLY don’t like Camila. She just seems like she’s horning in on the whole royal thing. She always bothered me, maybe because she could not hold a candle to Diana’s beauty and grace.
What are your feelings though? Do you care? Do you like Camila? Have you heard that if they marry Charles may not be able to take the throne?As far as i know, Charles will be able to take the throne but Camilla will not be called Queen. The problem is that when Charles becomes king, he becomes head of the Church of England and Camilla is divorced, which complicates things. I think they are trying to work something out.
How can you make a joke about the tsunami? 300,000 died from it. Its sick and disgraceful. They all should have lost their jobs, not suspended. A presenter from the UK was sacked after making a joke live on air on a sports chat show and that was with several apologies. 10 minutes after the show finished, he was fired. Making racist tsunami songs though? I didnt think people could go so low…
I played AOE 1 and that was really good. I’ve been looking for an updated version. I’ve never played AOE 2 but i’ve seen it and that was impressive. I’m sure AOE 3 will be even better.
Dragonreborn, if a game is destroyed by cheats, isn’t that your fault for putting the cheats in? People say that cheats ruin a lot of games, but nobody forces you to put them in.
@Oreo]Did you read her last post?? She’s wondering why the Arab countries are not helping their fellow Muslims…why the insurgents in Indonesia cannot put their personal goals aside to help a country in dire straits-good questions. Many residents of these arab countries more money in the private sector than most countries have in their cofers. Yet they are not speaking up to help. And, if you have been paying attention to the news….even HERE in the States…Australia is giving far more than any other country. I may not always agree with Dee, but in this case you obviously did not read her post. As a fellow Bigblueball.com member AND a fellow countryperson you owe her THAT much.[/QUOTE wrote:
I see your point Oreo (and rustedtight) about this. They are good questions to ask, but i dont think they are easy questions to answer. Its possible that they have kept their donation secret (like Russia), or not made one at all. The insurgents may feel that this is a good time to attack, as the country is in so much chaos and dispair at the moment. I’m not saying that’s an excuse for them, but that could be their mentality.
I dont think its fair to say that the USA isn’t helping though or ‘doesn’t care’ though. It’s contributing what it can and so is Austrailia. If Austrailia contributes more depending on how many people live there (GDP/Capita i think it is) then the USA does, it doesn’t mean that the USA doesnt care. I have heard that Austrailia has donated a huge amount ($400 million i heard) but whatever the USA’s contribution is (i dont know, but i guess its high), it shouldn’t have to match the same amount of donation per person that Austrailia has made. There is so many other factors to this money, such as taxes for that country, recent disasters and how money is spent in that country (such as the USA in the Iraq war). You could be talking about tripling the money Austrailia donates. If it is $400 million, i cant see the USA getting $1.2 billion from somewhere to spend it on. Its too much to ask of any country.
All I can say is that countries are sending what money they can. It shouldn’t just be about what the USA sends; it should be about what the whole world sends. Even small countries like East Timor are sending what they can (ÂŁ26,000). Okay, it doesn’t look like much, but it’s something. If the world can put a huge amount of money and resources together then everyone will have done their part.
Like many people have said before, it shouldn’t be a race to see who can donate the most money, over 100,000 people have died and many more have been injured from the tsunamis. We shouldn’t be arguing over how much 1 country donates compared to the amount of people either. I see why people think that the USA should donate more, because it is one of the world’s ‘powers’ and, geographically, it’s a big country. Like everyone else though, the USA has its own problems (such as Florida’s hurricanes last summer) and has to deal with them as well.
Let’s just hope that all the recovery teams sent to Asia can all work together to save thousands of lives that could easily be lost.
