Nice.
A friend of mine shot himself in the skull with a gun.

Bah, why is everyone quoting a complete post just to reply to the full message? It's only necessary to quote if not quoting would make it very hard to understand for people who read it what it's about. A quote refers to a piece of text, but since you reply to the last post already, you don't have to refer to it anymore since that was made clear automatically.
Yeah, now someone quote this full post and say "owned" to show some stupidity.

Well, a gadget or gizmo is a device that has a useful specific purpose and function. Gadgets tend to be more unusual or cleverly designed than normal technology, according to wikipedia.. Look at beybaldes for example.. They are these little unusual devices that spin when you pull a trigger.. That arent normal spinning tops. They are tops with different designs. Action figures are sometimes really cool because of the way they are shaped and the things that some of them can do like shoot stuff out of them.

Solo, mabye you have a problem. I think that you are in this adult phase where you are kind of the anti-child. You probably can't have fun. Truthfully, I feel sorry for people like you. Atleast I am diverse and I don't have a problem saying that I like toys. Mabye people(including girls) would like you way more if you knew how to have fun. I can act my age, and I can be fun and "childish".. Im 15. I think that I'm acting just the way that I'm supposed to be acting. Alot of todays society is "fast" meaning that children/teenagers are too quick to mature. Thats according to my parents. I don't want to be serious for the next 5 years of my life. I'll be serious about school and about the things that you need to be serious with. Other than that, I will have fun if I'm stressed. Stressors can be conquered through things that make you happy, I say. I refuse to be an adult that is psycologically fatigued due to a childhood that was not full of any enjoyment. Im a teenager. Im into my music, my girls, my computers, sports and my look. WTF.. You have this strange idea that your expectations of acting your age is the only way to look at things. You need to check the world around you if you think that that is how it goes, Solo.

Also, sometimes money is an issue. What the fuck? Do you constantly buy expensive things and expect everyone to do the same? Imagine a 5 year old wanting a laptop every christmas. Thats atleast 600 bucks. Those are adult "toys". I personally don't think that they are toys. I think that they are a necessity to a certain degree due to todays constant advancment in society dealing with technology. A toy is something you play with. Toys are designed to play with. Yeah, sure you can play games on a laptop, but can you do things like throw it to someone at play a full game of dodgeball? Can you make it fight another toy physically? Can you play pretend with it and imagine that you are on an adventure with the toy/character that the toy portrays? Think about this. Its not always immature to have a toy in your hand eery once and a while.

Like I said.. I can act my age, but I know the time and the place to do it. For now, let me have my fun and stop trying to get rid of the little imagination that I have.

I think its funny how the Record Companies are saying "Don't screw the artists" because that's what they've been doing for years

Ekted, you just seemed to resent the fact that the RIAA gets justice because they have money. I don't resent that, I just resent that some people don't get justice because they don't have money.

I resent that they can fuck with the system because they afford to drag it out until the victim can no longer afford to defend themselves, guilty or not.

Let's take a hypothetical, albeit a little extreme, example:

You record your thoughts about some Metallica song as audio, and share it using BitTorrent as the file Metallica.mp3. All of this is 100% legal. I "download" this file so I can hear your thoughts. Again, 100% legal. The RIAA monkeys watch this exchange, and hence take part it in, adding our IP's to their attack list. Regadless of the fact that neither of us did anything illegal, or the fact that they have no real evidence, we are both fucked. With their "evidence", they can force our ISP's to turn over our real names and addresses. In the end, even if we "win", we end up losing time and money to defnd ourselves.

Now let's take this example one step further. You replace your mp3 with a real copyrighted song, but I don't know that. I go to download your file, and hence share that file with others. I am unwittingly uploading copyrighted material. Now I am technically guilty but not by intent. Regardless, I am fucked again.

Sam, Im pretty sure my parents meant with acting like an adult and getting girlfriends/boyfriends.. also sex.. heh

[Cyan~Fire]

But if they sue you and lose, I'm sure you could get compensation, maybe via a class action suit back.

I'm glad there still is such a thing as "privacy" in my country.
