I can't help thinking If Katniss didn't volunteer for Prim she would have went Hit Girl on the other tributes and won easily.

They're just tiny pieces of paper with glue on them. It's what you put on them that matters.

I've had some very interesting sticky notes in the past. Very interesting.

I'm very OCD about things like paper covering furniture or screens or anything else. It bothers me.

Will Oz The Great and Powerful be any good? I'm not a huge fan of Sam Raimi but the trailers look decent.

[Secret Fawful]

Screw that. I'm watching this instead.

[coolsome]

That does look much better.

I've discovered your secret. Not only are you a spambot, you're a plagiarizing spambot. That's the worst kind.

Nothing like destroying a ballad(I normally hate these, but the 4 DT ones are funny)

I think I have my video game idea to apply my visual storytelling learning to.
(The breadcrumbs told me to make a game involving birds. And now I have the idea in which to use that imagery/theme)

I couldn't function without a car. I require the ability to go wherever I want to, whenever I want to go there.

That's...nice?

...You realize this is like walking up to someone in a wheelchair and talking about how you absolutely couldn't function without the ability to walk, right?

Then go to China with your car. No airplanes allowed.

Also I heard this from a relative but after she had an accident she got afraid of driving. She is now living quite well without a car and saves a ton of money like that in the process. (at the cost of time of course)

Hey, I don't know what the mass transit system is like where you live. From what I understand, there are quite a number of people in New York City (for example) who don't have nor need a driver's license. All I know is that the system in Tulsa is, in my opinion, nowhere near an acceptable substitute for a car.

Also, no I didn't consider my saying that to be akin to mocking the handicapped. As I said, I don't know how active/widespread the transit system is there. A handicapped person is likely unable to recover from their infirmity (depending on their circumstances, of course), whereas I don't see why someone who was capable of safely driving a car wouldn't be able to get a driver's license (if they desired to have one). With this in mind, I didn't assume you have no choice but to go without.

For someone who spends a lot of time correcting grammar, this is one hell of a run-on sentence. I'm not exactly sure what you're saying.

Also, I would say that sometimes there are reasons that might preclude someone from driving a car. In that instance, it would be mocking someone for physically not being able to do something that you enjoy.

Okay, then--fixed.

I can see I wasn't being obvious enough. People with poor vision (ie. legally blind) are not allowed to drive. Remember when you took that eyesight exam at the DMV before getting your license? If you can't pass that, they will not give you a license, and you will not be driving today or ever.

Therefore, criticizing someone for not driving when that someone is not driving because they were not able to pass the eyesight exam is akin to criticizing someone in a wheelchair for sitting around all day.
