We both know if I get my hands on one, I'm keeping it.

I am, however, willing to share custody. ;D

This is ridiculous. I'm not getting back into this just need to set at least one standard before this continues.

If we are going to learn anything from this thus-far-useless-debate, let us learn that. I hope we can all come to terms with this very heavy, rather baffling concept.

That's my fifty cents, I'll go back to working and watching this foolishness develop

-Says he's not getting back into it, does so anyways.

-Thinks debate is foolish, types several paragraphs akin to what everyone else did while commanding a condescending tone.

-Fires and forgets, hoping people will address points already addressed in one form for another while remaining insufferably smug for no discernible reason.

Alright, then.

The norm is what most people in a community subscribe to.

I like when the cases get mysteriously broken and the little side pieces that hold them shut crack off. And when somehow cases go missing so you have to stuff 2 or 3 cds in one case. Physical media is the gr8est!

What do you do, use them as seat cushions?

I still have CDs from back when they were coming out that are totally fine, including the cases.

Besides, technically a CD has more value than something that digital distribution only. I can still copy a CD to a computer to use like an MP3, which I often do. DD means you have to have a computer than can burn CDs and finalize them, plus actually going out to buy blank discs if you want to create a copy.

So, unless you're Hulking out and throwing your CDs around like Frisbees and playing tackle football with them, you really shouldn't have a problem.

Taking numbers? Huehue.

Normal?

I honestly don't even know what you're trying to ask here.

For argument's sake, someone who's normal is a functional member of society without major mental or physical health issues, a criminal record, or notable achievement that will result in them becoming historically known. They have a roof over their head, a reliable mode of transportation (public transit or biking included), and a steady income of sorts.

Since people's interests differ wildly, you can't really say their hobbies or interests are abnormal unless it's something that most people would find unsavory or off from what's generally socially acceptable, for instance going down to Rusty Joe's Meat Locker and suspending yourself from meat hooks for your Saturday Night or doing hard drugs to cope with whatever on a nightly basis.

Since people's personalities differ wildly, unless there's something about them that prevents them from being able to function in public and among family and friends in a manner similar to most people, then the norm would simply be that they're acceptable.

Normal people can still do extraordinary things, we aren't defined by a single action unless it's something that's been building up for a long time. For instance, a lady who fends off a chupacabra from stealing her kid when they were going for a walk is still a normal person, she just reacted to something. Some famous military conqueror or serial killer who spent most of their life working towards what made them famous is another story.

Really, the vast majority of people are normal and probably unremarkable, even if they have talents that others don't. Normal is good; it means society is working. A person's value isn't based around how normal they are, it's how they effect their friends, family, and community that really matters. It's not overrated or elusive, it just is.

If everyone were like Nat...

How many threads are you going to make about him? It's getting kind of creepy, especially since you just got here.

How was I not shot?.... Terrified right now.

Yeah, but if you're 16, a car, and being able to take it out on saturday afternoons and drift around on the ice with it... or enroll in competitive drag-races with it... is a pretty big deal...Heck, even if you're 43 and going through a midlife-crisis... getting top-score in is probably worth bragging aboot, don'tcha-know.edit:

If you're 16, you're still not an adult and have a long life ahead of you, ideally.

I mean, when you can't vote, buy booze, have your full driver's license, or own a gun, I think it's pretty safe to say you aren't indicative of the majority of the population.

Also, if any kid has a car at 16, they either A) have no plans of going to college or university, B) have rich parents, C) Were gifted a hand-me-down from a relative, or D) no concept of money if they plan on doing more than own that car.

Back in Ontario, you can't drive on your own until you get your G2 license, which still limits when you're allowed to be on the road, how many people you can have in the car, and access on certain highways (unless they changed all that in the past 3 years or whatever).

It's not until you get your full license that you're really free to do whatever you want. So, whenever I saw a kid in high school who had a car, I wasn't really impressed. I thought they had poor decision making skills, which for the most part came out being true.
