Topic: Serious Discussion / Chicken or egg

Chicken, though this is a bit of a over-technical answer. The chicken is the domesticated Red Jungle Fowl. So when the first Red Jungle Fowl was caught the chicken was ‘created’. But If you ask what came first the Red Jungle Fowl or the egg then it’s the Egg as people have explained above.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Why Do You Drink?

I do it because it’s fun, and in moderation doesn’t really harm you. Though in all honesty I can hardly say I have it in moderation. Also it makes hanging out with your friends a bit funner and gives a sense of unpredictability, which stops every night from being boring. I don’t know what I’d do with my friends to be honest, there just aint much to do round here. I guess I’ll probably continue drinking alot untill I finish full-time education. Also, it probably doesn’t hurt that it makes you feel grown up, which is a thing lots of kids try and make themselves seem.

You stupidly assume, that if your hand gets smacked, your father must be evil, for not letting you plug your two fingers into a 220V.
No, why I would ever be thankful to him?
What did he ever do for me?
I don’t care, that my whole LIFE is what I got from my parents AND GOD.
Why would I appreciate it?
I’m a FREE MAN!
I can do or not, whatever I want!
And who are you, father, to demand respect and appreciation from me!
Actually, this is also the modern problem with ACTUAL parents – people care for them less and less, btw also due to removing the “honor your parents”, together with “don’t murder/steal”.
POLICE is totally NOT ENOUGH to INSTILL in oneself the RESPECT for other humans, or even one’s parents.
We CAN SEE it right now – and YOU probably don’t even need to leave your house, right? :DDD

Im pretty sure firecrime said “needless suffering”. Hurting someone to stop them sticking their fingers in a plug is not really a reasonable comparison.
Btw, sorry about quoting the whole thing, i’m not too good with the whole system on Kongregate.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Bullying isn't right.

Most of the time if you’re being bullied it’s because of the reaction, you are making e.g. getting angry. So if somebody’s bullying you for your reaction (You’ll probably be able to tell this as they might laugh at you while you get angry or whatever you do) ignoring them might be a good idea.

It would probably save time to go to someone on your street, ask for 5 dollars if you clean their car, do it then get premium.

Topic: GemCraft Labyrinth / Endurance help at lower levels?

Maps B8 C7 and B9 are probably the best for a first endurance run. Im not sur ewhat your doing wrong but i manged to pull get past wave 300 on full settings endurance (I had to go so had no choice but kill myself) at about level 350. I guess i could have went on to 1337 because I had a steady mana growth and all my gems way over levle 20. I dont want to sound boastful (If this is even good…) But Im not sure what you are doing wrong… Not summoning enough maybe. Because you need to do ALOT of it.

Topic: GemCraft Labyrinth / Field C3 - Suggestions?

Heres my layout. As you can see i have 4 gems in the inventory. Just as a hint the best way to make dual gems is to make a grade 2Y and combine with grade 2Y/L and then get a G 2L and combine with a grade 2Y/L and then combine the two. You will end up with a grade 4 with significantly increased powers than by simply mixing two grade 3s. USe this tactic along with the 1 gem 8 amplifiers technique to finish the level. These tactics can be applied to every map but its up to you to make a wall layout there.

EDIT: I forgot; also use ‘armored only’ monster setting.

Topic: GemCraft Labyrinth / I need help.

Topic: GemCraft Labyrinth / I need help.

Well, i didn’t want to create an entire thread about this but i need some help with a few things. Just some Information. Im a level 140 wizard, I’ve got premium and ive killed 14 apparitions. But I still cannot do the L9 challenge. I completed K9 with ease but I’m trying to unlock the levels in the top corners and i have tried and failed twice at the L9 Amulet. Has anyone got any advice other than replay “try it when you are a higher level”? ALos i need some hep with endurance. Ive manged to get into the late 100’s a few times but this genrally only givs me 40-60k. Yesterday however, i dicovered that putting all the settings full (Excluding shadow clash) you can gain 70-90k in a space of 5-10 minutes. The problem with this is thati can only do this on the early level and i only surviv to around Wave 30 no matter where i assign my skill points and what i do in-game.

So can any of the veterans and experienced players help me out? :)

“Little Britney says: “I feel like a supermodel and if I do ballet or go swimming I don’t have to worry about hairy legs. Although the pain makes me cry, I feel like a cool grown-up when it’s all over.” Kerry plans to get Britney’s eyebrows waxed this year." She obviously has no idea what her mother is doing to her. Poor girl.

What a waste of money as well. How is this going to make her a “Star”?. Also if all the other kids are wowing about it and wanting it it will just turn into one of those things that you can make fun of the preson who doesn’t have it for. Stupid woman.

Moldy, your knowledge of technological capability is rudimentary, to say the least.

Note that I am not saying this is done, as that is unlikely due to cost and logistics. Also my legal knowledge is pretty poor, so I could not say for certain whether such a practice would even be legal in China. However, it is indeed possible to pre-decide the sex of your baby.

Rudimentary, LOL. People in any country don’t decide the sex of their babies. Unless of course you have personally developed a fool proof affordable system that has not been shared with the world yet.

Topic: Serious Discussion / USA vs England

Originally posted by Flypurplehamster:

1. The ancient Celts hardly resemble the England we know today, kthx. Celts also had little impact on modern English culture, excluding Wales (and Ireland, to a point, but that’s not England). Oh, and no one tried to preserve Celtic culture either, you Romans/Vikings/Angles/Saxons just attacked as well.
2. A lot of our population descends from a lot of people. Any proof that a larger number of them are from England?
3. Banning guns means you don’t let guns exist. If you don’t allow shooting, that cuts out manly activities, such as hunting. Banning manly activities is definitional ##.

Royalty wears “robes” (read:dresses). ##.

Fish sticks are fish and chips, smarts.

Tea is British. Are you denying this?

Nothing wrong with soccer, it’s just that football is manlier. Any evidence that rugby is manlier than football?

Cowboys are individualists with horses and guns. People with British accents sound really silly. Just think, “Who would win in a fight?”

1.Nethertheless the time space between the ancient celts and now is much bigger than the native american indians and now. So we have more history of our actual ancestors.

2.No but that hardly matters. You still probably have some british roots. Like Britain being you Grandfather if that simplifies it. And since this is comparing England to America im sure alot more of you are descended from british than your natives. Making our history longer.

3. I would have to say hunting does not have to be done by a gun. Its alot more manly to kill a deer with a spear than with a rifle while hiding in some grass. Robes are not considered to be only worn by one sex, therefore are as manly as say, T-Shirts.

No, they are not.

Yes.

Any evidence that American football is manlier than “Soccer.”

Well maybe I think your accent sounds silly, so what? Also I’m sure most british people were good fighters (I take it that’s how you define manliness) back in Cowboy times. That why the Empire was run from such a small place but was a huge success. That generally shows good fighting.

England is Soooooooo much better than america for starters we have more history, we actually found america and we would batter you at every sport coz ur all ott pussys

1. Wat, no you don’t. The history of your island is more documented, perhaps. All land has the same amount of history.
2. Along with the Dutch, French, Scotch, Irish, Germans, Scandinavians, Slavs, etc.
3. We’re pussies, says the country that bans guns. And has royalty. Whose national dish is fish sticks. Who drink tea. And is somewhat okay at a sport that doesn’t even let you use your hands. Really, American football is much more manly.

Cowboys are infinitely more manyly than anything with a British accent.

1 If you include the country just existing, without any humans then yes but if you count human history than no. Obviously there were already native american indians when America was “Discovered” but they hardly resemble the America know today. The had a very small impact on the culture as they were the “Enemies” of the people who came to America and you generally do not try and preserve a culture you just attacked. Basicly meaning that the History that all you American know porbably started round the time the Americas were being populated.

2 That doesn’t deny the fact that alot of your population descend from British people.

3 Saying that banning guns makes you a pussy is downright stupid. Same with royalty. Im pretty sure the national dish is not “Fish Sticks.” And also I hate tea and im sure many other British people do. And once again, how is tea not manly. Are you just trying to attack Brithish people by naming things that they are “Know” to do/drink/play. Once again with football. I’m pretty sure “Soccer” is just as acceptable in the USA as it is here. Rugby is more “Manly” than American football using your definitions of Manliness.

Oh and that last statement, like all others have no fact in them and are just a matter of opinion backed up with absolutely no reasons why you believe that and why other should other that they are generally know to me American.

PS. Sorry about making it a big block of my writing, I don’t really know how to seperate quotes etc.

Vitamin B12

The only source of this is in meat, and it is a vitamin the human body requires, well it doesn’t require it as such, it’s just that neurons tend to stop functioning without it.

http://www.essortment.com/all/commonhealthpr_tuqb.htm

The link says vegetarianism, it’s wrong. Vegetarians can get the vitamin from dairy produce.

I know this is a poat from a while back but B12 Is not only found in meat. I’m sure it is found in marmite too! I’m a vegitarian and my Brother is a vegan. As far as I can see Vegetarianism is healthy and I can’t really say about veganism…
