What personally irks me is smoking, but it's slightly tolerable. I just hold my breath.
But on the way to school today, something snapped inside my cranium when I saw a mother and her child were in the car and she (the mother) was smoking.

And assumptions.
I think the whole "sexist" and "WoW" thing began because of some stupid Drawbridge exercise. You might've heard it. A Baron tells a Baroness not to leave the castle, and threatens her saying "I will punish you severely if you leave!" She gets lonely and commands the servants to pull down the drawbridge and to keep it down until she returns. She goes off into town and stays with her Lover. After some hot lovin', she goes back to the castle and sees a Madman there who says she would kill her if she crossed the bridge. She goes back to the Lover for help, but he refuses. She finds a Boatman for help and explains her situation but he refuses since she has no money. She goes to the Friend for help but he refuses also. Finally, she dares to go back to the drawbridge and crosses. There, she was slain by the Madman. And they lived happily ever after. The End. Well, we formed groups to list who was most responsible for the Baroness' death. I listed the Madman first, Baroness second, Lover third, Friend fourth, Boatman fifth, and the Baron last. Everyone put the Baron at the top of the list and the Madman the least. I went straight by the text and said that the Madman was the one to literally kill her and the Baron had little to no involvement. They said "Well we have to assume what happened because the text doesn't have enough detail. They assumed the Baron left off to gamble and that the Madman was mentally ill and didn't know what he was doing. The girl called me sexist for listing the Baroness high on the list and she attempted (but failed) to say my logic was dumb. She said that I'm apparently someone who would send a child to jail because he murdered someone. I was talking about who's responsible for the death, not punishment. Somehow, she tried to relate it to World of Warcraft to me and I just raised an eyebrow. I felt like I was the only one going by the text while everyone else in the group added details to the story. Speculation is okay, but I got shunned. EDIT: Oh yeah, I think I argued with their logic saying, "So we're just gonna assume crap? Fine. I'll assume the servants were all ducks."

I think South Park made a wise prediction when they said she would turn out to be the next Britney Spears. I can definitely see it happening.
I never watched South Park and I recall making a similar prediction.

I'm annoyed that this topic title is in lower case. >.>
I'd say this stubborn girl in my Composition class. She apparently thinks I'm sexist and that I love World of Warcraft.

You're wrong about NES prices. The old Mega Man NES games run to $20 or possibly more. They're a little hard to find.
Mega Man 5 at a store near me is worth $22, while Mega Man X is only $12. It was weird because Mega Man X is the better deal. Also, Mega Man 2 was around $25.
I was told Mega Man X2 and X3 are also rare, X3 being the rarest. $15 for Mega Man 9 is a considerably good deal.
Assuming it's not utter crap.

Funky Kong is what his name implies. He's Funky. No doubt.
I don't understand the hate with Dixie though. I liked Tiny and Dixie because they could FLY with their HAIR. I think Tiny is more hip though.

I choose it as my favorite because it's the best out of the bunch.
DKC1 comes next, and DKC3 last. They're all great games, but DKC3 seemed a little bland here and there. Probably the music. DKC2 is what made me like Dixie, but I hated Kiddy.

So, I'm really playing it seriously for the first time ever. And it really is hard, man. I'm still at World 5, and I'm taking a break now. I'm getting frustrated.
Same. I downloaded it for Wii now. It's really hard. World 5? Damnit. I'm still in World 4. I think.

Cool. Sorry, I just didn't mention some of the details listed the above. I know about financial reasons and the other junk, but I know that the majority don't want to live (or don't believe they should live) with their parents around 21.
My parents (I'd say) are about half-way supportive. They still want me out. I want out. I wouldn't be surprised if we both had parties the day I left. It all depends on way people view it too. Some people would say "Ew, you live with your parents?" but I don't care about that.
Anyway, I don't want you to think I'm a jackass or anything. I do realize that when I say somethings like "You should be gone when you're 23", I'm possibly talking about myself and not mentioning that. Sorry if I was somehow targeting "you" as in you're part of the audience.

Like I said about the money bit. I'm aware of finances. At the same time, it depends on the parents too.
My parents aren't always supportive. They want me out. I want out. I'm sorry if this ticked anyone off, it's just my personal feelings is all.
I don't think I've been 100% serious/logical in my posts anyway.
EDIT: Read Mike's post fully. I wasn't calling you a loser at all man. I was even joking a bit about Xero. Chill.

Well, there are certain circumstances where I don't feel shame applies.
If you own the house and YOU are taking care of your parent(s), then it's a totally different. I do believe around that age, you should be out of the house.
Unless, you're in need of money and shelter.

I had a guy, who said he wanted a 99 cent drink. That's a 16 oz cup. That's it. He paid me $1.06 (including tax, of course), and I gave him his soda.
He started to bitch and moan saying that I'm a rip-off artist. He pointed to the sign on top that says "Upgrade your combo. 69 cents for a Medium. 99 cents for a Large."
I explained that was for a combo meal for Large fries and drink, but he still insisted that I was wrong and that he paid for a 40 oz.
The manager gave in and gave him a Large cup.
People are babies.
