There's ridiculous laws upheld all the time. It's also depending on what judge you get. If your judge owns their own beachfront property, even out of state, they will show interest towards the beach front owners and not the town.

And yeah, it's just a huge bragging right. To be fair to the owners, the dogs owned by tourists and some locals on my beach are usually never controlled, cleaned up after, and run across the street onto the beach front owners property. Hence one of the reasons I think they sued the town. The dog situation in itself is ridiculous and most likely will be dragged to court soon due to the way the dogs are never controlled.

But it shouldn't destroy the state because people can't stand their 90 pound attack dog named Fluffy. (Yes, people have been bitten at the beach, and there's been dog fights, not on purpose, but still, and my mom has been nearly attacked twice on her daily walks.) Hence the reason I told her to carry a stick around in self defense. And yes, I love dogs, but I also know if a dog is out to attack you and can force you to the hospital, you need to defend yourself. Anywho, back on tangent, the fact they can't have them walk on the beach, is not fair to the state. I know some towns, like York which is a few towns away has a laundry list of rules just for your dogs to set foot on the beach. Including distance from other people without their consent, what the dogs temperament should be like, how you should dispose of waste, etc... They've had no problems, but not nearly as many people due to the rules.

An interesting note: The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) banned all dogs from one beach because an owned unleashed dog destroyed an endangered species nest, it was either that or face a HUGE fine that would've made the town severely broke, there were so many people who threw a fit about it, including crying, they retracted the ban.

From what I heard, the parents of my team's kids wanted the school to be like it was a boarding school instead of public education. Which meant little to no field trips for our team.

It really disappointed me though, I loved the field trips and it killed me to hear about Salem because they spoke endlessly about the experience and what they learned. Our class that was left over which was five kids was forced to sit for an hour and a half and read books while the assistant threw a fit because she couldn't teach us anything with over half the class gone. I heard later she really ripped the higher ups a new one because she thought it was unfair not only to us for missing the experience, but her who had to be stuck behind all day for a 90 minute class where nothing was learned and/or taught.

And yeah, the other team got on a ton of field trips I heard. It was random on who got selected to which team, and my parents wanted me to go because they knew I loved the experience, but they couldn't budge the school on the issue.

I hate you so much.... *sees S. Mods rolling up sleeves* IT'S JEALOUSY AND I'M JOKING!!!

But yeah, I always loved field trips, and they were educational. I loved the ones going to Boston, it's what made me fall in love with the city and China Town. That was one of the few I went to in Middle School and sixth grade. I always learned a lot, too... When I was in college I had a teacher who brought us to the beach every good day and taught us about Tide Pools and the creatures living there. (Marine Biology class) It really teaches you hands on and for me taught me much more than a classroom could.

I googled this information when I found out: Apparently in the 1600's, there's a law that makes whoever owns the property across from the beaches owns a tract of land OF THE BEACH. Note: This was before beach land became a huge commodity, back then the people who owned it were people who worked on a ship. Captains lived further inland and it was considered a privilege to own land away from the beach.

Basically, it's two small beaches... At least the town over that had this whole thing go down. My town has three, and every year in my town the beach owners sue the town and drag them to court to own the beach. Which is basically I would say about a mile of beach. It doesn't seem much, but on beach days, you have to be there at 9 (when the beaches open to the public and rules are enforced, it's a dog beach basically until then.) To find a parking spot, it's filled from one end of the beaches to the other with cars parked. And you can't usually find a spot to park until 4:30 PM, when the tourists leave for the day. ALL the tourists go to the beach to surf, tan and enjoy their vacation. All our hotels around beach resorts are rented out every weekend to max capacity, traffic is bumper to bumper, parking is charged up to 20 dollars a space for the day, even fishermen run tours and fishing trips for tourists due to the attraction to the water... From say: Memorial Day to Labor day.

Weather pending, of course.

Throw in that my town has a direct view of Walker's point from the largest beach where thousands of people come to see it, and you have a huge problem. Walker's Point is George Bush's family beach house, btw... I even see Barbara Bush walking on the beach sometimes.

It's only about a mile, in my town, but that mile brings in tourists as far away as California to be there. And there's towns around that do the same thing that are on beaches and are smaller usually. Hell, our towns are built around beaches to have people come and pay for their goods because of their close proximity. We only have one major season to bring in cash and that's summer.

Basically: Take away the access to the beaches... Take away the main revenue of the state. There was a massive panic a few years ago because a oil company had a pipeline burst on them in the Gulf Coast. It was heading North and basically destroyed the Florida beaches, it looked like a for sure it would hit our state and destroy ours, too... It didn't, but the state spent a fortune on protecting the beaches due to the mere thought of it. That's how important it is.

It was appealed to the State supreme court and they said they owned the land to private beaches...

Luckily/unluckily, I just found out it was in the town over. It still BADLY hurts that town and tourism, and they're still asking for flood insurance despite it being privatized now. I heard they're going after my town still, too... I know I flipped out, but it's a big deal in my town on the beaches, it's our livelihood. Same for the town over that just made it private.

I've heard both sides of the story: She was on her own and thinking: "Hey, this is my chance for a academy." Or the network producers were badgering her over the mic to continue the interview. She has done this for several years, so she kinda should have a feel on the way that someone is going. Also, Bode was showing signs of distress: Wiping his eyes, not able to finish a sentence when talking about his brother, before he broke down.

Not contradicting you, just giving what I saw and know. =3

She did stop asking, and rested a hand on her arm, but the cameraman didn't move until he was pulled away. This also was a taped interview, shown on prime time hours after the interview, some time to go and cut the footage.

Having had just battled the flu... (Maybe worse because it sounded worse.)

I only was sick for a week and bounced back. The only reason I still have issues and the cough is because I shoveled with the flu when I really should've been resting. My mom who has the flu has had it about three weeks and is still having issues. The biggest thing for age is that your body can handle more things pushed on it. Whether it's an illness, injury or other such issues.

Not with FFXIII...

I'll stick with the Fallout series, at least until there's levels back. And Kingdom Hearts. =3

And yeah, I can kinda see that. And I haven't played the games.

Not to sound stupid, but...

What's a waifu? Oeo... And yeah, I saw XIV and their apology. Does anyone remember when RPG's were, you know, rpg's?

Never played Persona, and KH still has level up elements.

Kingdom Hearts has more Disney elements than FF... One. :P

Two, I can still like KH and not like FF anymore. It's a free country.

And I really haven't gotten into FF since X, admittedly. I tried XII, gave up, tried a bit of XIII, lost interest and forgot about it as soon as I did...

............... You're killing me, hatok. ><

I am never touching FF again. Though now I'm looking forward to Spoony.

So let me get this straight...

An RPG, which usually is something that depends on how much you level up and train/equip your characters...

Now has modes.

Please hold while I go cry in a corner. ><

I honestly see this as a good thing. If a child is dying and in severe pain and KNOWING that they won't life, they should have the choice to die in peace instead of dying slowly and painfully.

I know why people are so paranoid about kids making their own decisions, but it bugs me so much that they have so many people deciding to do this to a child. All doctors throw in their biases, and if one says: "No, the kid won't be euthanized." Due to the fact he/she doesn't believe that and the child suffers a slow and painful death against their wishes it's kinda cruel.

Women have the same issues when it comes to a lot of medical decisions when it comes to not having children. A doctor in my state can still refuse doing a procedure on a woman to make sure she never gets pregnant even if the woman is a full grown adult, severely disabled and never wants children. Trust me, I asked because my family has a severe history of medical issues and pregnancies, my mom nearly died carrying me and my bro. I was refused because they said I needed either two kids, be 35 years old, or have a medical condition that will kill the person.

Please don't tell me that they made an easy mood FOR A ****ING RPG!!!!!!!!!!!

*sees everyone staring and coughs*
