Um... I think Saber would know from personal experience...

Theory does not always work.


... and why the freck did I write Cyber instead of Saber...

I R TEH CYBER KNIGHT!

Sure, while it's broken you're physically weak, but after physical therapy, the broken leg becomes the stronger one. Seriously. Like, in hockey, beforehand I preferred to stop on my right foot, now it's my left. I'm right hand dominant, left food dominant. Oh, and right eye dominant too. Lerarned that when I got my first bow (archery), they have you check to see which eye (if any) is better, becuase that's more important than hand dominance.

Actually yeah, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure my doc told me that my left arm's stronger than my right arm now because I've broken it more times - it has something to do with how the bone heals? I dunno.

[Josiah]

Yeah, broken bones usually heal stronger than they were before.

[Giga-Gar]

Really? I'll have to ask my heath science teacher about that.

[Cheezdude]

I asked my health teacher today and.. Josiah is right. *gasp*

Church this morning. We rent a school each week. The school has two gym, and me and this little girl (friend's sister) find a light switch. We turn it off, hide, turn it off, hide, and laugh. The kids in the gym are from my youth group. They were getting annoyed at the lights going off, so they searched for the person doing it. They found me, dragged me into the gym and turned the lights off, and I was being attacked. Lights went on, and I saw two of them above me. I ran. Fast. I heard 'I wonder what Jason would do to *someone at church that people are obsessed that I like* in the dark'. Told the youth group leader, and she didn't do anything because the one who attacked me was the preacher's kid. He's done this type of stuff before, which is almost ironic. He also brags about playing Halo and CoD too, and he's 12, his dad's the preacher, and he's allowed to play the games.

I hate this kid,

Cheese, there is a saying for this situation, "Don't get mad, Get even, then pay back with interest."

[Saber Knight]

Hey, I was right first. *grumble*

Anyways, we had a science test today. What was really annoying is, you remember that 30 page packet I mentioned earlier? Yeah, well in that packet were a bunch of fill-in-the blanks, but we had no idea where to put the words because we had no text to go with it telling us the meaning of the words! I asked the teacher about it, and he said he'd go over it in class. But he didn't!
So, a good half of the questions on the test I had to guess on because he never explained it to us. Gah! *grumbles angrily*

[Astral Omega]

Ah, don't you love it when teachers do that? [/sarcasm] That sort of thing happens... a lot more than should.

Yep. On my last physics test (15% of total mark...) we covered newton's laws and friction. The teacher told us that the next unit we would be doing was circular motion, and lo and behold, on this test of newton's laws and friction, there's a circular motion question! In the next class, when the students pestered the teacher enough he explained that it wasn't Really a circular motion question, it just looked like one. And you solve it the exact same way you would in a circular motion question...

[Saber Knight]

Yeah, there were a bunch of questions on the hydroloic cycle, like the Zone of Saturation 'n' stuff. Guess what we read about last night for homework? A chapter on the Hydroloic cycle.

You know what I'm going to rant about today? The "Revenge of Done Saying 'Hi!' to Josiah" Thread.

Don't get me wrong. The concept is innocent enough. Talk about whatever. I just hate it when somebody brings up one little thing, and then people start arguing about religion or some crap, and pretty it devolves into one big flame war, then posting becomes similar to walking through a minefield in high heels. I mean, I hear ENOUGH of this outside the forums already! (I go to a Catholic school and most of my extended family is religious even though I'm not.) All I want to do when I go on the internet is roleplay and talk about video games, not get into a serious discussion about some heavy crap! Gosh!

*Goes back to World of Warcraft where nothing of this sort happens ever.*

[Astral Omega]

Ditto.

[Josiah]

I don't think there's a problem with talking about serious subjects if people want to...as long as it's doesn't turn into a fight (which I do my best to prevent). If there's a discussion going on that you don't want to be involved in, just don't read it and don't post about it.

And this is why I don't go into religion.

[BionicleMandi121]

I sometimes disagree strongly with what other people post, but if I know contributing to the conversation might turn it into a flame war, I keep my thoughts to myself. Same thing when a fellow forum member does something that annoys me. I tend to just bottle it all up and wait for it to settle down.

[Silver]

I actually think it's really cool that we can get into discussions like that. Usually, we're all pretty good about keeping our heads... I mean, the only time it really got out of hand, Astral and The N00b were talking about video games. There was no religion or anything remotely controversial about it. It was all Marth's fault. And that's exactly why I think it's so cool we can talk about the serious stuff, too. What are we, really? This is the forum for a Pokemon webcomic. We're geeks. It's a requirement for joining. You'd think we spent all our time geeking out over video game-related stuff... but we all have actual opinions on the world and what's wrong with it that we're not afraid to express. I think that kind of explains why Pebble Version's the only forum I've stuck to for more than four years, y'know?
