And no I'm not 100% efficient, but I'd like to make as much use of my time as possible because I'm aware that its not an infinite allocation.

That's all I wanted to hear , lol. None of us are machines, we all need fun , and yes I do much more work than fun these days , just saying we all need both
 
- I want immigrants to pass a citizenship test after living a year in Sweden, which should include being able to communicate in Swedish without any major problems. (Might not seem controversial to some of you forumites, but in Sweden it is.)

- Buckethead and Orianthi is overrated.. the first one is famous because he knows how to use 10000 effects at the same time without too much noise, the second one is only known because of her vagina.

- Michael Jackson wasnt guilty of child abuse at all, it was all about money-sucking leaches trying to earn quick cash on the most caring person ever to set foot on this earth(Look up the families if you dont believe me.).
(And no, it wasnt a response to your opinion, its just one of my opinions that make people pissed. ;) )

- French is the ugliest language EVER.. people who think it sounds romantic are insane.

- Danish people are not people(Thats right Lars, suck on that.).

- 99% of the modern metal scene consists of chugging the same downtuned chord in odd time measures, and once every minute there is an "epic breakdown" alternating between a downtuned 1st string, and a tritonal chord with some retarded roidraged ape is screaming its lungs out on top of it.. then those who play it pretend that its something that is overly musical, when its really not.
 
- Far to many people confuse intelligence with wisdom and lack the ability to discern the difference. Some of the smartest people I've ever meet absolutely no clue and do the dumbest shit because they lack the wisdom to think before they act.

- While I agree that some video gaming is great, it's a sad things that today's children would rather sit in front of the TV and play games all day than go outside and kick a ball around, play catch, climb a tree, ride a bike, ... I'm going to sound old when I say this but when I was a kid, from the moment school let out to the time I went to bed, I was outside with my friends getting dirty and having fun, not inside in the dark with my ass in a chair and my eyes fixated on pixels moving around on the TV or computer screen.

- On the same sort of "showing my age" type comment on society, technology has brought us to the brink of having further generations losing the desire or capability to communicate via spoken word with each other. We have gone from walking next door to have a chat with your friend to sending them a text message because it's quicker (as if the walk from my house to my neighbors is such a great distance.) While I ,like all others, utilize technology to communicate with those that I must because of distance and others restrictions, we should all have at least several in person conversations each day if only to retain our social skills and the honest interactions it creates. The anonymity and faceless bravado that electronic communications bring deprive us of the humility and humbleness that face to face communications foster. To put it simply - people are much more friendly in person than they are in an email or a text message and even in a phone conversation.

- Be open minded and accept that others feel differently than you do - it does not mean they are right, but they are entitled to be wrong at the very least, you just don't need to tell them as such.

- Similar to the rant above about technology emboldening us to communicate things we might not otherwise say to another persons face. Always let a typed message sit for a few minutes before hitting the send button. Sometimes our fingers are a lot braver than our mouths would be and I'd rather not have to apologize for what my fingers lacked the capability to filter out.

- I agree with Machinated thoughts on football (soccer) and the United States. I love soccer, but it does seem to be a much more community oriented fan base and as such the size of the US is a detriment to the success of professional soccer in the states. On a side note - I do think college soccer is extremely enjoyable and regularly attend my local universities games (Go UCONN!!)

- While Sean Connery was a great James Bond, I have to be honest and say that Daniel Craig is my choice for Bond actors - the last few Bond flicks have made him so bad assed it's great. No more campy crap - just James Bond taking care of business and taking out the bad guys. The only reason this came to mind is I'm watching "Quantum of Solace" as I type this.

OK - that's it for now, I'm sure I can think of other things, but that's for another time.

OMG I JUST PEED MYSELF!
 
- since i got brodband at home my productivity, creativity, motivation and ambition have been reduced

- I know the above to be true

- I still spend mutiple hours online every day

- Hi my name is james and i have an internet addiction
 
I watched Wayne's World for the first time ever yesterday..I'm 20 years old.

:ill: amazing.

- Too many people think they can solve the worlds problems so easily and quickly that's it's laughable.

- Too many people look at things like the Iraq/Afgan wars and think they know everything about it cause they read some michael moore/adbusters horse shit on the net (or conversely, watch bill o'reily). To pass judgement on what happens over their WITHOUT FUCKING GOING THERE AND SEEING IT YOURSELF is just plain dumb. People picketing dead soldiers funerals calling them baby killers should just get gassed.

- Pot should be legal. Abortion should be legal. Death penalty should not be legal.

-Gun control in the US/CANADA is totally fucked.
 
- Too many people look at things like the Iraq/Afgan wars and think they know everything about it cause they read some michael moore/adbusters horse shit on the net (or conversely, watch bill o'reily). .

Partially agreed, I don't think its wrong to pass judgement on more national based poltical decisions to wage war there, after all, politicians make these decisions not just comment on them and have the same inherent layer of removal from the actual real world scenario.

To this extent I'd like to politicians actively sent to see the mess they have no doubt made.
 
- Polititions should get the average industrial wage ajusted to reflect the long hours they work (which would still be substantially less than what they get now)

- All members of parliment should be paid the same regardless of postion or seniority

- Jaffa cakes are in fact vile

- Serious dangerous unremorseful criminals should not cost the state anything to be kept in jail they should be deported to a state held island (shark infested waters or explosive neck collor to prevent escape) to fend for themselfs

- Average criminals should be made to pay for their crimes to show that their actions have consequences by this i mean they should provide a service to the community while in jail by cleaning streets/parks ect they would be doing something constructive with their time. Spending their time watching tv and being fed by the state while in custody is not doing the trick
 
- marmite is merely 'alright'. I don't love it and I don't hate it.

- the Internet age has greatly increased the ease of availability of pornography and that will noticably affect society. But I'm not sure how. To prove my point, I don't know anyone my age who doesn't know what bukkake is, despite the fact that I could use that word in conversation with my parents without them having a clue what I'm on about.
