It occured to me the other day that being 'good/attractive looking' in this society is a big help in a number of ways. Obviously, looks attract the opposite sex in a relationship, but what about in other things: like finding work, making friends, establishing work contacts and generaly socialising etc. For example, if I was hiring someone to work on my team or in my firm and narrowed the field to just two candidates who have similar credentials, I would pick the better looking one, simply because he/she is in effect a representative of my team/company. I think, what I mean is, in general terms people tend to want to associate themselves with good looking people, dont you think? how big do you think this influence is? Another example of this infuence is plainly evident in 'The Apprentice'. I saw the ending of the first episode and found it to be disgusting, with everyone kissing Trumps ass. So I just logged on the net to find out who won and behold, out of all the contestants it was a typical American 'pretty-boy'. I mean if I had been given all the contestant photoes before the show began, with no other information - and just based my decision on looks, I probably would have picked him the winner.

I dont understand the US college scoring system, is that 4 out of a maximum of 5gpa? ...and whats with people stressing these days, I never get 'stressed-out' even when things are going really bad and I probably should be - I guess its my easy-going nature and the Aussie climate

....as long as it runs Rome: Total War its good

I just had a look at the pics, and most of the people look like their senior citizens, so I suspect there will be no discounts for you girl.

yeah I wish!......I'd be the biggest slut! how you been btw?

yeah, you can there is multiplayer for the real-time battles, but not for the campaign. I will also be getting cable with my new PC

I just saw another gameplay clip for this game, I think if I dont find a girlfriend before this game comes out its going to be the end of me.

well, you do the best you can - cant change yourself overnight, just have to work on it - I still watch TV and aimlessly surf the web a fair bit instead of working more on my assignments and ensuring I get a better mark, but I also no longer leave them untill the day before and keep up with the weekly workload etc. Cant say I have a fear of 'not being successful' or such but I have started thinking about my carreer direction lately - not out of fear, just like yourself I dont have a clear idea of what I want to be doing... and btw. Im also a pampered only child

I was pretty much in the same boat past couple years, but I think Im getting back on track - I dont know if anything has changed, just that Im tired of getting told off by my boss and hearing about my peers graduating soon and carreer success stories, while I am still bumming around. My new years resolution was to manage my time more efficiently, make the most of it etc. - it has made a difference.

Who killed Nick Berg?

whens fantasy fooball starting?....cant wait to cane you prostitutes again

Yeah, this game is half the reason why Im gettin a new PC mid-year.

Hey guys, check out the "Rome:Total War" E3 trailer, it made me drool soooo bad - and the best part is, Armenia is in! LINK

Yes.........but the underlying question is: can you smoke it?

Its been a while since I did economics, but as far as I remmember: Inflation is basically a measure in the change of price of a basic 'basket' of goods. An inrease in money in circulation will put an upward pressure on prices. The cause of the hyperinflation in Germany was that she had to meet excessive reperations to the Allies for World War 1. The reparations were denominated in German currency, so the wily German government decided why not just print the money . This money naturally found its way back to Germany, increasing supply (demand remains unchanged) causing a fall in the value of the currency, leading to dramatic rise in prices. hope that did it for ya.

long story....

He may be smart, but I still beat him and his brother, plus a bunch of other nerds in my first Fanatsy Football leage last season

yes I know you didnt say that, I think they (terrorist) know full well the difference between a civilian and a combatant and I agree that a civilian should not have been butchered in such a manner.

Yes, their all retards arnt they? All Iraqis, Palestinians, in fact all Arabs. And since we could pass for Arabs most of the time, I guess that would also make us retards. I call on the moderators to close this thread....

yah, so were many Iraqis killed during the occupation and 90% of those detained. Im gettin tired of this discussion its just going in circles, Im sorry I ever started this thread, should just keep to my old motto: politics is a waste of time.

Domino, whats the difference between beheading someone and blowing someone up with a long-range missile when the end result is the same? These 'barbarians' dont have missiles and tanks, so they make do with what they got.

Its Alizee! The French version of Britney Spears except much better I see, so we shouldnt lump them as 'turks' then

yes, I think you are right: it was total civilian deaths, not just in custody. Movses, unfortunatelly we do not have access to any photoes of Iraqis blown to pieces by US bombs....and the anger displayed in the Iraqi photo is a direct result of the photo next to it....like I said if my father had been humiliated in that manner I would do far worse to any American soldier I could lay my hands on. Armenia just happens ot be in that part of the world, and the US portrays itself as a beacon of freedom and democracy....
