Yeah, I hate how division leaders automatically get a top 3 seed. If it went strictly by points, Winnipeg would be at the bottom of the cutoff at like 6th or 7th.

As of right now, the Bruins are 20-6-3 (so basically 20-9), with 43 points and 29 games played, with a +23 goal differential. For Montreal , they are 20-5-5 (basically 20-10), with 45 points and 30 games played, with a +22 goal differential. So basically they are tied. Although its a joke that Winnipeg is in 3rd in the conference with only 34 points just because they lead a pathetically weak division.

I was excited for this game because I loved playing SimCity 4. I was actually ready to buy it last night, but when I went on Amazon I saw that it had less then a 2 star rating. I thought, how could that be? Its SimCity! And then I started reading through the reviews and understand why. I sadly won't be purchasing it any longer.

Sorry, but this is a crock of shit to the highest end. Jeff Daniels (the guy playing the character speaking) seems to paint an unrealistically perfect vision of America past. He seems to leave out many of the major problems faced by America in the past that were overcome in the present. He doesn't mention the advances in technology and knowledge in general that have come about that past generations could never have even dreamed of. Each period in American history has its own set of problems, with some being worse then the others. They have all been overcome, and I don't see why we can't continue that trend. I'm so sick of having my generation belittled by the older generations, because they forget they had some serious issues facing them when they were younger. Its bullshit, plain and simple.

Exactly.

Does anyone else think Shelton Harris (the guy who plays the gay teenager in the video) is hot?

I'll admit, I get really annoyed when they have women commentating men's sports. Its not because they are bad, but because its just so out of place.

When I said my generation is removed, I DID NOT mean that it was gone. I'm not stupid. What I meant was that it isn't as prevalent to us as it was to the older guys. I didn't grow up seeing people wiped out left and right from the disease, so the issue is not as pressing to many people my age. Obviously I know I can still get it which is why I put on a fucking condom when I have sex. But it is not the forefront issue in gay culture anymore like it was in the 1980s.

Lol, you should close your curtains to keep me from looking. (I'm sure you can be that out of shape and saggy though). As for the whole AIDS things, I definitely think thats removed from my generation completely. Most of us were born when the epidemic was dying down, and by the time we reached the point where we started having sex, it was a total thing of the past. We most likely didn't know anyone who had AIDS, or let alone had died from it. Where as the guys in their 40s and 50s saw entire groups wiped out in months. I'll admit, AIDS doesn't seem as real to me as it probably does to you or other older gay guys who came of age in the 80s. In my opinion, the whole AIDS and post-AIDS gay culture is a dividing gap between guys your age and guys my age.

I would hope that if you want to get rimmed, you'd shave it out in there. Nothing nastier then a mouthful of hair, haha.

Only problem is, as you get older your choices of other promiscuous men to sleep with go down. I think as people get older, they become much less promiscuous (gay or straight). When you are young, virile, in shape, and good looking, people want to sleep with you. When you are older, out of shape, and saggy, not so many want to sleep with you. Its why most people are settled down with a long-term partner by the time their youth and looks start fading.

I bet they had to change their underwear after that.

Being promiscuous is far more of an age thing then it is a gay vs straight thing. I'm in college now, and there is no place more promiscuous then a college campus on the weekend. I have straight friends who sleep with a different girl every weekend, and I have straight friends who have a girlfriend and have never had sex with anyone else. I know gay guys who are sleep around a ton and others who are totally monogamous. So what do they all have in common? They are all young and horny, and the fact that they are gay or straight doesn't make a difference. One thing I realized is that straight people like to put up the facade of being monogamous, but the truth is they cheat like hell behind their partner's back. I have friends who have girlfriends, and when their girlfriends aren't around they are hooking up with other girls. People, especially young people, weren't made to be permanently monogamous. I just think straight people are less willing to openly acknowledge that fact as compared to gay guys who aren't expected to live a certain way necessarily. You can't make sweeping generalizations because the facts just don't support it. I've been in both situations. I've had periods of one night stands with guys who's names I'll never know, and I've had long periods of monogamy. Does it really matter which life you choose as long as you enjoy it? In my opinion, no. The problem is, we place such a high spiritual and emotional value on sex, when it reality the only point of sex is to satisfy a basic need to reproduce. But somehow people have managed to spin it into some hugely emotional thing, and our culture makes promiscuity a dirty word, even though everyone does it, gay or straight. So in essence, straight guys are just as promiscuous as gay guys, but they are less willing to admit it because of societal standards.

Damn, that is one awesome music video!

1.5-2 hour commute, for barely above minimum wage, for a job you don't even want? With the price of gas, you will burn through a good chunk of your paycheck just getting there and back. You could probably easily find some temp job that pays just as much, if not more, close to where you live while you look for a better job. Like Yang said, you didn't work your ass off at grad school to give tours to 5th graders for next to nothing.

I have an iPad, but I use the Kindle app and buy all my e-books from Amazon.

I felt respected when I got a supervisor promotion and a $2/hr pay raise. It's sad and pathetic that pro athletes don't feel respected until they are making $20m a year.

I was randomly browsing through music on YouTube and came across this song, called Same Love by Macklemore. He's most famous for his recent hit, Thrift Shop, and this song is basically about his support for gay marriage and equal rights. Its interesting, have a look. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcNOapwgw6I

Yeah, but Chara and Lucic made fools out of the guys who tried to pick fights with them last night (can't remember who exactly). Besides, on a game for game level, we're still the better team points wise.

Definitely trim. I keep it trimmed down there because if I don't it grows like a forest. My boyfriend appreciates it too. I think trimming down or completely shaving it all off is pretty common now. All the guys I've ever been with have been either trimmed or completely shaven down. I've yet to come across one who lets it grow wild and I hope I never do.

They play tough, not dirty. They are a throw back to the old school players who weren't whiners and pussies like many of the superstars these days. *cough* Crosby *cough*

Trust me, I know. There is a large Wal-Mart about two minutes from campus, and its in the ghetto. When the welfare checks come in the mail, every hoochie mama and crack whore flood the place and its turns into an exhibit on why long-term welfare is not a good thing. We try to avoid shopping there on those days.

Haha, most of the South is WalMart.

I actually flinched the first time I watched this.

Use your own terms and way of measuring. That is why I only set a very broad criteria for what people thought of as "important". To say Google is not a profoundly important website is just ludicrous. They do not produce content obviously, but they make it much easier to find. Instead of endlessly searching through various websites and links, I can simply type a few words into a search engine and I instantly get millions of hits. It cuts down on the time required to find something tremendously.
