In theory it must be. You can write programs to break into accounts so I guess you can add a bit to the bot which tells it to then use that account. It just seems unlikely that anyone's gone to the effort.

Nope. It's just the first time I've seen interesting watches. I got excited.

I like watches.

For some reason it reminded me the watches from Spy Kids 2.

Just had a look at the final medal table for the Paralympics. United States of America, losing to us is understandable (we're awesome) and losing to China is expected (they have all the people) but you lost to Australia.

Today I asked one of my friends what kind of music he listened to and he said "Christian rock". I told him that was fucking lame.
He sounded pretty upset when he responded but I think it was worth it.

That attitude is the reason I don't like showing people music that I like without knowing what they're in to first. You probably think you're funny for it but you just sound like a jerk. :(

I thought it was lame because the only difference between Christian rock and regular rock is that one of the groups just talks about Jesus. Therefore, the only reason you would specifically listen to Christian rock is because the band agrees with your religious beliefs, which doesn't actually have anything to do with any musical aspect of the band.
I guess people wouldn't listen to bands who they thought were total douchebags but if you think that about someone because they're not Christian then it's still fucking lame.

This man has a point.

Shit, im athiest and even i listen to Creed. The religious background of the shouldn't even be a factor. Listen to a band because they sound good.

Christian Rock has a very strict style to it, though. Rock was always seen as the devil's music, so Christian Rock is practically designed to get around that. If you said you liked "Rock" you would be encompassing a lot of shit, maybe he just like the light-styled rock that comes with christian rock. It's like people who say they like heavy metal. Heavy metal is still rock, but you call it heavy metal because it's distinguishable for a reason. I think Christian Rock is lame, personally, but it's kind of offensive to ask someone what they like and then insult them for it.

By a horrible twist of fate our paraolympians were actually more physically able than our actual olympians.

EDIT: I am not physically able to click the right quote button.

Oh well.

Really? In my experience it is pretty much the same musical style, or at least there are quite a few non-"Christian" bands who do do the same thing.
I wasn't really insulting him personally though, it was just a very blunt way of expressing my differing musical tastes.
