| honestly... the best solution to date for power issues (in some places) solar power! now, that's not a complete solution, since a lot of places are covered by clouds a lot of the time.... but hook solar panels to roofs of houses all over the place... and you'll cut down significantly on the amount of power used.... and your electricity bill  ....it's not a complete solution, but it definately falls into the wind power and water power category of being better than some of the alternatives.... as for Nuclear.... I'm all for it.... chernobyl blew up during a test of something.... can't remember what, but it shouldn't have happened.... anyways.... I don't see it as dangerous, especially now with the much more advanced technology we have covering nearly every aspect of nuclear power. the only drawback is the waste.... which would have to be dealt with.... and that's not an easy thing to deal with.... although, find a desert.... that no one goes into (Sahara!  ) and dump it there.... that way no one sees it, or feels it's effects |

| not so harmful drug? [laugh].... ciggarettes aren't not so harmful.... people get sick and die from smoking on a daily basis.... it's one of the main reasons that old people have cancer, not the only, but a big part of it.... and personally.... I don't want to have to pick and choose where I go because of the amount of smoke I have to deal with... I also don't enjoy coming home after being out in a public place and having to wash my clothes right after to get the smell out... it's a disgusting, destructive habit that I think should be totally outlawed, but that won't happen.... so let's just tax them until people can't afford to smoke anymore!!!! kidding |

I definately like this idea.... it would be nice to actually be able to select one, and then be able to see on some other page the # of people from each country... |

you know, I Really like that idea |
that would keep smoking somewhat more restricted.... and would prevent underage people from buying ciggarettes.... I like that and I don't remember mentioning bars... I dont' go to bars.... but I would expect that bars would allow smoking, since they are 18+ only establishments... everywhere else, I would have to say no though... smoking is disgusting, and should be restricted

heh, I totally agree.... although, you ban nicotine, then why not ban caffiene? |
it is being found to be quite addictive as well, not quite as addictive.... but people that drink anything caffienated have servere withdrawl siymptons if they go off of caffiene... but I do agree.... I'd like to see tobacco go... but it won't... tobacco companies have too much political power....

the only problem with fusion is we can't control it like fission.... at least, not that I know of.... |
there is always the theoretical cold fusion.... but, the big problem being "theoretical".... it is true though... if we could actually do fusion.... we would never run out of power.... life would be pretty damn sweet.... I can't remember what movie it was, but it said something like a square meter of sea water would run the world for like 50 years... something silly like that.... (restricted) |

I really don't know how much anyone knows about this, but for my own sake I think I need to make a post about it so that I have it all laid out as best as I can remember it. |
So, Julie came back sometime in July of this year. When she got back, she didn't have anywhere to stay, so she stayed at my parents house while she looked for a place to live. She spent a couple weeks looking when she found a notice that basically said, 375 room and board. Pretty good for a student. So she went to check it out. When she got there, she found a family with 4 kids, living in a fairly small house. They were pretty nice, had several pets, 2 dogs specifically that Julie really liked. The room she got was fairly big. It was all for her, so it had to be bedroom and living room kind of thing. It seemed pretty good. She paid the damage deposit and rent for August, and we moved her in. Well, they somehow covered the disgusting dog smell in that room before she came over, because when we got there, the room she was getting smelled so bad we all thought we were going to throw up. So, we cleaned it all out, scrubbed the walls, the carpet and the bathroom until they were about as clean as they will ever be. That took us about 3 hours or so. Well, after that the room seemed pretty nice. There was plenty of room for her and all her stuff. Things seemed pretty okay. For the most part Julie didn't see them and they didn't see her (landlords). Things were pretty okay. However, over time she started to notice that the landlords were not as nice and happy as they seemed. They had regular fights late at night. On several occasions she'd come home to them drinking with their friends or smoking pot. Now, that's nothing most of us have a problem with, except they have 4 kids, in the house at the same time! Maybe I'm only really bothered by this, but the place they lived in was a dump, and they insisted on spending money on booze and weed instead of taking care of their family. Just doesn't make sense to me at all. So, Julie was starting to not want to live there anymore (september), when her and I decided to get married in October instead of July of the next year. So, she let her landlords know sometime in the middle of the month that she was moving out, and they said it was fine cause they were going to be moving as well. Julie moved out as soon as we had found the place we are in now, and could get her stuff moved over there. The landlords here let us take possession a week or so early, because they knew about her situation. Well, time came to return the key and get the damage deposit back, and Rudy told Julie that since she hadn't given them enough notice that she was going to have to wait a bit for them to get the money together. Julie said fine, she can wait for it for a couple weeks. They demanded her key back, saying they didn't trust her keeping the key after she had moved out. So, she gave in a gave it back. A week or so passed so Julie called to see what the arrangements were going to be to get the money back. Well, she got told, quite rudely, by Rudy that she wasn't getting her damage deposit back. Julie told my parents about it and my dad agreed to go over with her and talk to them about it, early October now, probably 1 week before the wedding. They go, Gin and Rudy agree to give it back, they just need time to get the money together. Julie calls like 2 days before the wedding, again, they tell her, tough you don't get it. She goes back with her dad, military pilot etc., and again they are told, yeah you can have it, we just don't have the money. They even had Gin go to a bank machine to prove they had no money. So, again we wait. Probably a week and a half after the wedding, we go on the agreed day to get the money, which isn't ready because they don't have cheques in, and some tax refund hasn't arrived. We leave again on the agreemant that we will return in a week and they will have all that stuff ready. Julie calls the night before to confirm, and is told that she isn't getting her damage deposit back and that if she wants it she can take them to court. We've decided to do that, for several reasons. 1) Rudy is an asshole and we want to make him pay. 2) The room was up to standard for renting, ie. no window.... so that was illegal and shouldn't have happened. 3) No permission from the ACTUAL landlord, that's right, Rudy did not own the house he was subletting and didn't have written permission from the landlord to do so. Instead the real landlord was told that Julie was just a friend staying for a little while. And to keep Julie from talking to "the guy next door" who was the landlord, she was told he was a drunk that would get mad at her for parking in the wrong spot on the street and stuff. 4) No walkthrough of the room before or after it was cleaned. This must be done in writing if a damage deposit is given. Basically no deductions can be taken off for damamges, eventhough there weren't any and the room is now cleaner than it was. 5) The damage deposit wasn't put into an account to gain interest like it is supposed to. instead it was put towards something else, we don't know what, but it wasn't put where it should have been put. 6) Rudy is an asshole 7) Rudy has verbally threatened Julie on a number of occasions on the phone, but never on voicemail or with anyone else around... lots of swearing and the like. Oh, and we finally found out who his landlord is. As in, we spoke to him and found out they own him over 1500 dollars in rent. There is also extensive damage on the house done by Rudy and Gin and family that this guy wants paid for. So yeah, we are both going after them. For him, it's actually about the money, for us, it's just revenge for all the shit he (rudy) has put Julie through. She shakes every time she hears his voice. So yeah, Julie is suing for the damage deposit, court fees, interest that the damage deposit should have accumulated.... and we are also going to get a restraining order against Rudy because he is the type to come after you late at night or something (at least in our opinion).... and we want something to stop him from doing that if we can.... but yeah, that's the whole story.... it's been an annoying stressful last month or so trying to deal with them on this... but if I heard correctly, my mom and Julie are filing this tomorrow, so, it's going to be done soon I hope... oh, and one other thing.... the landlord threw out Gin and Rudy this week, so we got a nice phone call from them again this week, so much fun!!!!  really big post

nope, it would never go illegal, at least, not until the majority, and I mean the 99.99% majority, weren't smoking anymore.... although, by then it wouldn't matter.... |
but, I wish it was.... smoking is just stupid (restricted) |

I don't enjoy any kind of tobacco.... |
not to say it doesn't have use.... I do believe it's good on bruises?.... I think that's what I remember hearing it was actually good for.... but other than that.... I don't see why we would use it.... it just.... seems to harm... and sure, maybe not the tobacco as much as all the other crap in the ciggarettes people buy.... but, that's pretty much the tobacco people buy....

that is the saddest thing I've heard of in a long time.... |
those fans don't deserve to be there.... and those players don't deserve to play anymore... in my opinion... that is almost as bad as hockey parents fighting each other.... IT IS JUST A GAME!!!!

Majin: pretty much.... it would probably reduce crime.... make catching criminals easier.... but it would reduce freedom.... |
you take the good with the bad I guess... if the world turns this way.... what can we do but go along with it? and who's to say it is all bad? unless you are actually doing illegal things why would anyone care? I dunno.... I'm just trying to see the good this could do.... too many of us have this silly sci fi imagination of the government doing weird things and blah blah blah, I really need a movie title to go in all that.... then it would all come together....

yeah, it was a bad situation to begin with.... and everything just went... stupid.... really |
and hopefully things will go smoothly.... I really don't want this to take very long.... it'll be annoying if this drags on for any reason... the tough/annoying part is going to be getting money from them once we get the decision.... but, we are doing this more on principle than anything.... we don't need the money too badly.... but, we are going to get him for all we can.... and screw them over as much as we can for giving us this much grief about it
