got the idea from "Dude... Lanipwned (Lanipator + pwned)" and "You just got Vegetowned! Vegeta + owned)"

but since "Cat" ended with a t, I figured that the owned addition ran more smoothly than with a p sound after the t. ~pwned really only seems to sound better if the name actually has a p to begin with like "Kropwned"

As for me, I have the fortune to be able to say "Urowned" XD

Most of all I remember this earthquakes:

See, I was pretty sure Italy was a geologically active region, and quakes coming at that kind of frequency suggests that I was right. You'd think people would be a little better prepared for an earthquake, then.


The earthquake was in a small village so the houses and all those infrastructures were old and not prepared to face an earthquake.

Read the comment above. I don't know about anyone else, but I wouldn't want to live in an old building like that in an area known to be susceptible to earthquakes.

I guess if you were there, you would be laughing your ass off while other people are getting killed.

No, most likely I would be helping anyone I could. Dead people are dead, there's nothing that can be done about it. It's the survivors we should all be worrying about. They're the ones that have to live on in unfavorable conditions. Just because I don't see death as a bad thing doesn't mean I think people should die unnecessarily. Once you're dead, you're dead forever, you're only alive for so long, so people should be able to experience that life to it's fullest for as long as they can. NO ONE deserves to have that life taken from them, regardless of the reason. But it's not something that can be helped, because everyone dies at some point. It's simply a part of the deal with being alive, and you cannot fight fate.

Quote
I almost wish that your mom was there and almost died in the earthquake.

Trust me, that's not somewhere you want to go.

If that's what you want to call it. I'd rather call it a foolish emotional outburst from a teenager who thinks they know anything about life or the world. :)
Excuse me, have you seen my mind? I seem to have misplaced it...

Can I jus throw something out there:

Sidzero, you act, most of the time, like you are better than everyone else here. Unintentional or not, you do, and when that happens, you tend to start these arguments. This is something I noticed for a while. You make it sound like your always right... omg... you're a Mary-Sue XD

Wow, now being owned means someone telling you an obvious truth. If I say that you know how to type, does that mean I owned you?

I'm well aware of the air of superiority I wield. I'm well aware that people who don't agree with how I see the world can't help but argue with me because of it. But to blame any arguments I get involved with on me, like you seem to be suggesting, is quite ignorant. Ignoring the fact that it takes two people to argue, and pushing blame on one but not the other is just illogical, it makes no sense. Also, I'd like to point out that me "sounding like I'm always right" is something that can only occur in the eye of the beholder. I mean it's obvious that I think I'm right, otherwise why would I argue it? But if you, or anyone else, thinks I seem like I'm always right, then that tells me that somewhere deep down, you, or whoever else, knows I'm right, and I don't even want to say what it tells me when you, or they, say that, and then argue with me anyway.

I think you misread, I said you THINK you're superior to the rest of us. You're not, you're the same as everyone else.

As for arguments, it takes two to argue but you only really need one to START it.

Fact: Almost ever argument I've seen on this forum seems to involve you for some reason, hmmmm...

I noticed that you took no disgretion to the title of Mary-Sue, hmmm...

See, now you're just TRYING to piss me off. THIS is why arguments start.

You know what, seriously, I'm tired of this bs. It's happening AGAIN. I'm done with this. FU all. I'm sick of a-holes who always have to start fights with me and then make me look like the bad guy.


How do you like them apples?

Bah... I knew I should have locked the topic... but the truth is that he can't blame us... and you know why? Because of this, it takes two people to argue, and pushing blame on one but not the other is just illogical, it makes no sense.

Sid you just need to learn how to control your rants... because it seems like you're just running like crazy in a mine field... and You will eventually step on some mines... and you know what happens??? They explode... but in this case I guess it was the other way... You steped on Neomine ;D and you're the one that exploded...  :-\


And btw, we don't start fights with you... You like to be the instigator... and that word has a meaning... and you'll see who starts everything...

Neomines are dangerous, kids, and the best way to avoid triggering one is too walk around it ^_^

I do not know what instigating means! 0_0! !!!

Speaking of Earthquakes, anyone know what "earthquake" in Japanese might be?

Yama = mountain, and Tsuchi = soil, but that's about all the "earth" related words I know.
