If you're pissed off, this is definitely the place to be!

If it makes you feel better, I've been kicked out of five other forums ALREADY; some nonsense about my 3D art being inappropriate for minors... What do they know? I AM a minor, so there!
A link to said art? ...has the noob even returned?

First welcome. Second, other than this place NOT being a tech help place, deleted it in safe mode, empty recycle bin, run antivirus/spyware/adware programs, install firefox or install Linux. xD

Reading some of the early pages of this thread, we had D.E.A.R too. That was in Alabama though, I moved after that grade.... :(


Flyboys: A True Story of Courage.
A well told version of truths entailing a collection of "flyboys" that is military airmen during World War II. A well researched, and documented story, of mainly 9 airmen who were shot over Chichi-Jima, a sister island of Iwo Jima, just north of it. While Iwo Jima was hell, Chichi would have been even worse. It was even more highly guarded. The main reason the flyboys was to secure and destroy key communication towers that were feeding progress back to Tokyo. It tells the story not only from the Japanese stand-point, but also from the airmen who survived raids on the island, family members of the deceased, and the only one who crash landed to make it out alive. George Herbert Walker Bush. Name sound familiar?  <_< .

This acclaimed bestseller brilliantly illuminates a hidden piece of World War II history as it tells the harrowing true story of nine American airmen shot down in the Pacific. One of them, George H. W. Bush, was miraculously rescued. The fate of the others-an explosive 60-year-old secret-is revealed for the first time in Flyboys.

From the author:
Quote
I was interviewing him once, and he asked me if I knew anything more about his two crewmen. I said, Mr. President, I'm sorry I don't have any more information. And then with a pained look on his face he said, "it plagues me still today if I gave those guys enough time to get out." And then he was quiet for a second. He stood up. I went back to putting my notes away, and then when he didn't walk away, I looked up and he was standing by the window and he was looking at the sky and he said, "I think about those guys all the time."
This is also in the book.


Other book I've read recently, for that matter watched on DVD, and have changed my username for on several sites... V for Vendetta.
Very good movie, but I recommend the book more. Why? Because, as with most cases It's sooo much better. It gives the same basic description, but in a few key points, it has much more depth, and you get a better sense of the characters through literary works rather than visual. You feel what they feel. You see what they see. Not what a director wants you to feel/see.

The futuristic tale unfolds in a Great Britain that's a fascist state. A freedom fighter known as V uses terrorist tactics to fight the oppressive society. He rescues a young woman from the secret police, and she becomes his unlikely ally.

From the book.
"Remember, remember the fifth of November.
Gunpowder, Treason and Plot.
I see no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot."

QOTD:  Which breed of dog do you prefer? Or which breed of cat?
As far as dogs an old neighbor of mine used to own a boxer pugg mix that was entertaining as hell. As far as cats, which I like more btw, I like orange tabby cats.
Kinda like him:
