Yeah, I get the impression Nightmare was trying to jump on the bandwagon of going after new threads by using the FAQ as a means to put someone in his/her place - nevermind the recent discussions about being gentler about the FAQ, and only using that as a shootdown after it is a gross misuse of starting a new thread.  I have really appreciated the discussion in this thread, as opposed to general attacks on a new poster/new topic.     Plus, I do find it interesting to note that new paysites are popping up this late in the game.  I wonder if economic downturns are going to feed into this trend.

Yeah I thought the sheeple comment was unnecessary. I don't think that a group of people who share the same opinion about something is quite the same as a bunch of people who do whatever they are told. It insinuated that Pescado has a bunch of weak willed slaves here, doing his bidding.

That house looks straight out from The Sims 2. The only improvement I can really see from that particular photo is that the background neighbourhood is much more detailed. The house panelling is quite ugly and the house itself is nothing to brag about. My own building skills are mediocre at best and even then I can do better.

... Why are sheeple excited for The Sims 3 again? I really don't understand the hype.

tdyannd is just one of Blackgarden's flunkies. So now you know where she gets her sense of style from.

My friend's daughter bought a food processor at a garage sale for three bucks.  She buys her own peanuts and makes her own peanut butter.  

I tried so hard to wait until my son was five before he got a peanut butter sandwich, but his dad set one down on the table to the side of the desk and when he went to grab it to take a bite, it was gone and the little guy was munching happily on it. I guess the smell attracted him, but we watched him like a hawk all damn day long because his cousin was allergic. Not our kid! He's still upset that the peanut butter supply is fucked up right now, too.

I had chicken pox when I was about 6 weeks old, then somehow rubbed one of the last ones that was on my face and re-infected myself.  So then 21 years later, my niece gets them, and sure enough...I get them for the third (and thankfully LAST) time.  Didn't realize what it was at first, had to go to the doctor to find out.  The last time left a few scars but they're in places that can't be seen easily!  Both my kids got chicken pox at the same time, so I had a two-fer.

I also had rubella when I was about 6 months old (didn't need the shot when they came out with one in the 4th grade - I remember the teachers lining up all the kids in the hallways so we could all get the injection - but had to take it anyway).  As a precaution.  When I had my daughter get her last set of MMR shots before she started school, they told me that I had to have a booster since it had been so long ago.  Damn, that thing hurt!!!  And I couldn't complain with my daughter right there watching me.

But I will NEVER forgive my son when he got his last shots before starting school.  We were in the waiting room, he knew it was shots, but no problems.  He was calm, playing, being his usual happy self.  Then the nurse opened the door, called his name, and he screamed!  He locked his knees together and I had to push him from behind, with him screaming the whole way into the examination room, causing all the other little kids to get scared and start crying.  He screamed the whole time the nurse was setting up for the shot.  He screamed up to the moment that needle went in.  Then stopped and said "That didn't really hurt at all".  I wanted to drop kick him out the door!   

The internet does not make kids lazy. The kids in question are obviously just lazy to begin with and the internet is just a diversion.

A Webster's online or a Webster's on paper is still a Webster's. Using the one does not make you any better than someone that uses the other. However not using one at all does in fact make you an idiot. I totally agree with Quinctia, research without the internet sucks. I don't quite understand how using the internet is not doing it on your own, that makes no sense. The value of information is not altered by it's mode of transportation.

Yes. According to TSR everything Coconut has come out with has been attention seeking lies, and the pictures were all fake.

Nobody likes to be shit on and lied to, at least these people are saying something about it instead of suffering in silence and letting the company think they can fool all of the people all of the fucking time.

Can you believe what she told that guy to do?
