Hahahahahaha!

Justin makes this forum what it is, I've decided.

You know on that show Blind Date...the little bubbles that pop-up throughout the date? I'd want to have one of those with Justin's comments on subjects throughout my day.

I'd be sitting in class, my professor talking about something, and Justin's thought bubble pops up: "Man, what the f[size=2]uc[/size]k is this old bag rambling on about?"

It'd be hysterical.

LOL SOME GIRL PISSED ON MY FRIEND'S FLOOR HAHAHA

Apparently she was incredibly drunk, laid in his bed, puked in it, got up, and pissed right on his floor over his dirty clothes.

Oh, man.

I sell pre-recorded tapes of my thoughts for $4.99.

ROFL at Gav's last few posts.

Hahaha, not even CDs. Tapes.

Yeah, the girl Christine is a dumb bit[size=2]ch[/size].

You do paypal?

i guess she wasn't very [B]urin[/B]terested in sex.

lololol.

Here's a couple samples of what would be on that tape:

"HOOOOOOOOTTTTT"

"Oh s'hit, I think it's dead"

*hits crack pipe*

"Oh my God...I'm freaking out"

"KILL THE B'ITCH"

"If it smells, don't put your face near it!"

That's just the tip of the ice-berg.

"Asian or Anal?"

"So this is what penis feels like in the rectum... not bad"

"How can I look like James Spader today?"

"Is this too much eyeliner?"

"Damn these guys rule"

"Gav, did you put it in her butt?"

[QUOTE=whiteminority;13608765]That was an interesting read, but he had one key error. He mentioned earlier that history is more prone to multipolarity and that hyperpowers always tend to fall after a brief period, he then went on to state that by the withdrawl of America as the current "hyperpower" the world is most likely to visit a period of darkness a la the dark ages. The option of withdrawl as leader will not be the advent of a muslim hegemon, far from it. None of the countries in that region are anywhere strong enough to be able to ascend to power whatsoever. He mentioned China as the only viable Asian Tiger power that would be able to suceed the United States, however, this is incorrect because there are a few other powers in the region that could fill this void. But I digress, the point is there is no need to fill this void whatsoever, a stable balance of a series of world powers can better keep the balance than one single power. If the United States were to withdraw the global organizations that were mentioned (UN, WGO, World Bank, etc.) would have their powers increased and could successfully work as a group of leading powers able to sway world opionion granted the United States would have to cede a certain amount of power to these organizations, but that is something that would be dealt with at the time. With these organizations in power working together a balance would occur as opposed to complete cultural obliteration, as he stated in his article.[/QUOTE]
seriously? the guy went through and countered practically every argument you just put forward. of course without much support, but thats because its just a one page article. read the whole book.

and balance of power politics led to world war I, which of course led to world war II. i would hardly say our record is worse than that. check out the first 400 pages of "Diplomacy" by henry kissinger. its a pretty popular book. i'm sure you can find it in barnes and noble or a similar bookstore. he gives a great analysis of the balance of power system.

and as far as international organizations go, hegemonic stability theory is fairly well accepted. i would suggest "US Hegemony and International Organizations" by Rosemary Foot, S. Neil MacFarlane, and Michael Mastanduno. Oxford University Press. 2003. particularly chapters 1 and 3-5.

I'll see if my library has it, I'm broke currently.

Are you a poli sci major? Also how old are you?

Burned Out & Hollow is my new favorite Ampere song.

so my friend said the other day "grunge was the original emo"

wow, just wow

That's such BS.

The first emo band was The Smashing Pumpkins.

ya, i'm majoring in political science with an international relations focus. well, acutally i pretty much have majored in it. i have all the credits completed for the major, now i'm just finishing my minors in economics and history. next is a masters in international relations.

and i'm very old compared to the average age in here. i'm 22.

Word, I turn 17 next month and have been looking into colleges and such. Can you reccommend me some good schools with a good poli sci strength? I am considering doing a double major in Chem Engineering and Poli Sci.

I turn 17 in about 3 weeks.

For my combination of birthday and/or early Christmas (probably not enough money around here for both), I want the game Diplomacy. If we cant find it, im getting Axis and Allies: Pacific.

HAH

Good luck having a life, man.

He knew there would be no future, and that was his greatest freedom

well, i can't really give you specific recommendations, a lot of that depends on how strong of a college you realistically expect to get accepted to. also, you are going to need to decide what you want to do within political science. its a really diverse field. some schools are better at one field than others. most schools require you to take at least a course in each of the major fields, but leave you a lot of freedom is choosing what you will focus on. just a few examples of the fields are political theory, comparative government, national and state government, and of course the one i have spent almost all my time in, international relations. if you are wondering what the classes are actually like for some of those, let me know.

also, there is this division within political science between quantitative and nonquantitative approaches. who heads up the departments will be a strong factor in determining which one of those two the school's program is focused on. the quantitative approach focuses on data and mathematics. i took the one required class on that and hated it. it was all about surveys, statistics, poll data, ect. i much prefer the nonquantitative, like what we talk about in here, where we don't focus on the mathematical side. for instance, that article i posted is political science, but the polls you see on tv predicting who will win an election are also political science.

also, you will probably need to decide which one is most important to you, engineering or political science. in most cases you will have to decide between schools that are better at one than the other. if you are going to get a graduate degree in one of those, that will also matter. on the one hand, you would want to look good coming from a strong school when applying to graduate school. but at the same time, and to me more importantly, the graduate degree will completely overshadow the undergraduate. so if you get good grades and good test scores (gre probably), trying to get into the absolutely best regarded program for your undergraduate might not be that big of a concern. like if you were going to get a masters in political science, maybe pick the undergraduate school with the strong engineering program.

so think about what you will want to focus on, and what your grades and test scores are probably going to be like. let me know and then i'll just ask one or two of my professors what schools they recommend. they will know a whole lot more about the actual quality and focus of the political science programs at different schools than i will.

I love COC, so f'ucking good. I love their lyrics.

CoC is definitely one of my favorite emo bands, their whole s/t is quality

Def one of the best.

[QUOTE=SubtleDagger;13611007]CoC is definitely one of my favorite emo bands, their whole s/t is quality[/QUOTE]

Definitely. Their S/T is by far my favorite release of their's. The split with Pg. 99 is pretty f'ucking good too.

On a related note I got to rip a bunch of my friend's CDs today

I've already heard most of them but I lost them when I formatted a long time ago, so I got CTTS's s/t and Roots, GYBE's Antennas To Heaven, a few Locust and Daughters EP/LPs and most importantly Pig Destroyer's Terrifyer

I missed Pig Destroyer

I love Pig Destroyer. Thumbsucker is such a brutal song.
