true, i 'spose. i didn't realize there was so much bad blood, i guess i just began to ignore it after a while.

so you wish harry was hurt by a hurricane, that's what you're saying...

i use it as a device to demonstrate a point. i wholly agree that a corvette "is" a sports car, but it's simply not the technically accurate definition. to wit, i am trying to show you all how silly it is to argue for "proper terminology" when we all know damn well what we mean!

hahahaha ruffles

that's pretty insane, why are you obsessing so much about this being an option? you know it isn't. drinking away your problems never works, with drugs you just have a 1000x worse hangover the next day/week/month. don't "just avoid it", just realize it won't solve your problems. i guess i should be asking this: what do you think drugs (and what drugs are you thinking about anyway) will do to solve your problems? one of the best solutions to life's problems, in my highly experienced opinion, is having a very good friend you can discuss these problems with. don't worry about solving them, just get it off your chest first. try not to choose a friend who you are otherwise attracted to.

my point is being missed by miles. the fact is that we are, by and large, a bunch of young car enthusiasts who know very well what we mean. nobody ever, ever defined a sports car as having "massive weight to power ratio" (and you got that backwards by the way), but the term has evolved in conversation to imply that. arguing the exact definitions of terms and railing others for not following it is completely pointless and counterproductive. so like, chill, everyone! (remember when hybrid was used to refer to plants?)

yes, i'm also a peeping tom.

damn! i always thought of myself as enlightened...

the fixed roof doesn't help, the size... doesn't really help, the V8 doesn't help, the absolutely gorgeous luxury car interior doesn't help at all... this car fits somewhere between GT and supercar.

it's an ILLUSION. we won.

you don't use sex, drugs and rock 'n roll to make a bad life okay, you use them to make a great life fantastic. or at least as much of that as is legal and wise. or something. a wise man (actually a woman, and who knows who she was quoting) once said "sex isn't a band aid." once i got over my own humor in the fact that she was comparing an abstract concept to a disposable medical device, i realized the wisdom of that is that escaping from large difficulties through small pleasures serves only to distract you while things get worse.

also, why... is anybody awake right now, those of us in the U.S.? this is sillyness.

you think that, but i sure don't! "mid-size", "compact" and "full-size" are all relative and/or subjective terms. dimensions are, of course, objective, and "proper". "sports car" has a definition, and mazda miatas and pontiac solstices fit it, while corvettes and camaros do not. that doesn't stop people from using it subjectively, but here is an example of a well-defined term being adapted to fit the times.

"subjective" describes both the meanings of those terms and the significance of the meanings of those terms.

ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baby!

ah, "one track mind." actually I still can't quite see how obsessing over one particular thing makes somebody more intelligent than someone who doesn't obsess over one particular thing. in programming, object-oriented refers to a concept wherein the fundamental units of a program are things which have properties about them and specific interactions between them. is that in any way related to what you're talking about, abstractly?

unless it's PHP5, i scoff at that remark.

what... has this board's subject matter got to do with anything object oriented?

you wouldn't hear C.R.E.A.M., around the world, sucker m.c.'s and whatever else i mentioned on clearchannel.

outkast has done a lot for music. and early on, they did quite a bit for hip hop. they do deserve a lot of recognition for that.

yeah, they did a number on that track. it doesn't feel the same at all in the movie. (i'm from houston, and heard it quite some time before office space came out.)

woohoo!! sucker mc's is AWESOME. C.R.E.A.M. at 477, not too bad i'm shocked "Run" is at 151, that's a pretty new track that didn't get the play cream did daft punk at 157, woohoo! hahahaha, quad city dj's "ride the train", brilliant. "damn it feels good to be a gangsta" deserves to be higher up, in my opinion, but "mind is playin' tricks on me" is about where it should be. classics. overall i would buy this, if it was all on ONE CD.

i thought this thread was asking, "where would america be without unicorns?" and my answer was gonna be "pretty screwed, that's where."

colloquially. I suspect by definition they're much more similar.
