I cannot answer for others, but I can answer for myself. I sometimes am in chat, but I may be doing other things as well. I may be looking stuff up. I'm a real research whore. Also, I may be using Windows Live Messenger or Yahoo! Messenger at the same time. Also, if a new chapter to a story I like is out, I'm likely reading it. There's also a chance that I might be writing.

That's not my style. Speaking of weaving in and out, it'd actually be fairly easy with a Smart Car, though there's the added danger of someone not seeing you.

Well, there aren't any open roads in the Dallas area. Despite what some might think, there are large population centers in Texas. To really test it out, I need to go somewhere more isolated.

That's not smart with any car, but that was gets crushed like an aluminum can. Others would be damaged, and it's likely to be deadly, but I doubt the damage is quite that severe on a normal car. That sounds like a plan, but don't forget there are hybrid SUVs now! Just let me teach them how to drive them. Buicks can actually go fast. I should know. I've gone about 80.

Who wants a Smart Car? This is what they look like. This is what they look like after a crash.

I have yet another question. Is there a website that allows you to get directions from US cities to cities in Mexico? Keep in mind that Mapquest does not do this and that Google Maps does not. Google maps can give you directions into Canada but not into Mexico.

Granger's family is quite powerful. However, the Wilcoxes are quite a force to be reckoned with. George knows this, and he risks much in trying to bring Admiral Wilcox down.

Thanks Julian. Be sure to let me know.

I had heard weeks ago about a court in the 9th Circuit hearing a case on the constitutionality of Proposition 8. Does anyone know what happened with that? I'd really like to know. Thanks, Tiger

No, this is a different BWS. It's Bridemont Withdrawal Syndrome. https://www.gayauthors.org/forums/topic/23996-bws/

Okay, this isn't a game or anything, hence the Q & A forum. Basically this is a thread where you can ask questions that have more concrete answers. The first question is one I have an idea about, but I still want to know a lot more. Why are Arabs and people from certain parts of southern Asia and Northern Africa considered Caucasian? Obviously I do not know the full answer. I have read somewhere that it has something to do with bone structure. However, I suspect that there is more to it than that. Can someone provide a more in depth explanation and perhaps some good research sources on the subject?

I'm not quite that cynical. However, I think morality is subjective, so how are you to say who's immoral or immoral? What one person may see as moral may be immoral to another and vice versa. So you can only really compare characters to your own morals and see if they pass the litmus test. I can write either kind. Then again, there's also societal and social views on morality. So if that's your measurement for morality versus immorality, it would probably be more difficult for an immoral person to write a moral character without overdoing it a bit, or in other words, creating a character that is so moral that it would make the average person sick. I don't see a moral person would have too much trouble writing an immoral character. They're normally the bad guys.

Well, I'm sure things will get back into a good swing. My BWS symptoms are actually quite mild right now. I can't speak for everyone else though.

The Dallas theme definitely works too. I never actually watched Dynasty, but I did hear about the catfight in the pond. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjpCU4Zy9Cs

Join the club, Nephy. It'd be loads of fun as in loads of grenades.

Well, that's a difficult one, but I think I can come up with a list. 1) Luke from Dom Luka's Desert Dropping 2) Matt from Mark Arbour's CAP universe 3) Jamie from Jamie's The Scrolls of Icaria 4) Cray from Jack Scribe's Desert universe 5) Milo from Dom Luka's With Trust There you have it, my top 5.

That's true but I still want about 100 of them, maybe even more. I love blowing stuff up even though I've never actually done so... yet. Anyway, Zombies? Those things are scary. This has to be a hoax though.

Happy birthday, Billy.

Happy birthday, Jordan!

Happy birthday, Chris!

Bonne Fete, Jacques!

John, again I say that those who have a problem with the more effeminate (stereotypically) gay men have some issues with internalized homophobia. They are actual people with actual feelings, and they can't really help it. I'm not trying to beat you up or anything, but people are people, and they should be treated accordingly. Who knows? An effeminate gay man might even become your best friend one day or maybe something more. They need lovin' too you know. Wynter, as far as what your friend did, that was not nice. Drinks are not gay. They are drinks. Supposedly mixed drinks are supposed to be for women and gay men, but screw that. People drink what they like to drink. I've seen women (and no not lesbians) who can drink beer like it's water and men who enjoy a good bottle of wine (some presumably straight). I find it irritating too. I think a lot of people here will share your sentiments.

Well, I mean on a different level, like how most sons and fathers know each other.

That is quite a long list. Some of them were really talented too. Their songs have by far outlived them, and people still listen to their music. Ironically, you sometimes forget that they are dead. You find yourself getting absorbed into the melodies. Has anyone else not thought about the fact the the person is no longer alive when listening to them?

So I was just thinking about this. Sublime is among my all-time favorite bands, but they'll never produce anything new, because Bradley Nowell died of a heroin overdose. Then of course there's Nirvana. Curt Cobain committed suicide. Though one could tell through his lyrics that he was a troubled soul, it's still sad to think that I've already outlived him. Then there's one of the most tragic ever in Selena Quintanilla, who was brutally murdered before she was 25. Their voices are forever immortalized, but they are no longer among us. It's sad when you think about it. They all died young. Michael Jackson died way to young as well even though he was around twice the age of the others I mentioned. Does anyone else wish that these awesome musicians were still alive today?
