Now, somebody tell me if this is a medical problem, or just my dehydration (yes, I spend 80% of my time more or less dehydrated, but I do try not to be). Every morning (for the past four days), when I wake up, my calves cramp. I've torn my calf within the past year (six months ago), and these cramps have tear-like syndromes for about two or three hours, but I think that's just the severity. They're extremely painful, and used to be limited to occuring in my right calf (the one...

    Why is being a gamer bad?                       It makes me sad when there isdiscrimination against the innocent.    Now, I may be quoting out of context here, but I have been told that asa gamer I have no place on JU, and I should crawl back into the sameold gaming sites I frequent. I believe that there is nothing wrong withbeing a gamer, it is simply a part of my identi...

    Welcome to my first Daily Features article. I'll start off by writing an article describing daily features.     On Daily Features    Anyways, now that I have your attention, I will describe dailyfeatures. Daily features are a compilation of three or more articles.Three types of articles are considered for a Daily Feature. The firstis an opinion article. Basically it's the "On" article I'm fond ofwriting. Generally two paragraphs, with an aim f...

    I sat up in bed. The visions of the future... or were they the past? were too much for me. The war did this to everyone, but I knew for sure that I was never meant for this. But I fought on. Day after day, hiding, running, shooting. A warrior's life. A'na'la . I haven't used my native language in a long time, but that was the one word that applies to a warrior's life. It's actually three words, combined for one meaning.     A means "the" in our language. I...

    Swearing is not a sin. It is, however, an annoyance to some of us who learn more than five adjectives, nouns, verbs, and adverbs. If you don't know a word to use, use a dictionary.     Swearing also devalues your opinion. When I find that someone swears, I view it as a negative mark on their maturity, as they have no real self-control. It's one thing in conversation, but it's entirely different when you can write stuff down. You cannot convince me that you ca...

    Ok. Gonna try to keep it clean.     There is nothing in having many articles written that hurts you. If the articles have a point, regardless of how strong, state a fact or opinion, tell a story, do not plagarize, are not spam, and are not mandatory reading, you do not suffer at all from some people posting ten thousand articles a day. So what if it gets pushed out of the recent articles list? Some of us actually put links up at different places to advertise....

    The Quran condemns the "munafig", those who claim to be believers and peacemakers and are not. Do all the radical extremists realize that by your actions, you give all of your religion a bad name?     Now, I'll admit I'm not Islamic, I'm a white-as-bleach Christian, but bear with me here. When one complains that they are victim to persecution, if they retaliate with bloodshed and killings, will it help anything?     The simple answer is no. ...

    Hypocrisy is turning a blind eye to wrongs that should be punished when you punish them elsewhere. Hypocrisy is looking first for other's flaws. Hypocrisy is not judging.     Hypocrisy is a common affliction. It's so nice if we're the perfect ones. Isn't it? But also, consider this. If you, say, write an article on how others write too many articles, then you are flooding out good articles with your crazy nonsense ones. Even if you feel that the flooding arti...

    Tolerance is giving a second chance. Tolerance is not discriminating against others due to social group, social status, race, age, gender, or intellect. Tolerance is giving an open assessment. Tolerance is not liking everyone you know. Tolerance is giving everyone equal opportunity. Tolerance is not looking down upon others for any reason.     So, how tolerant are you? People level accusations of intolerance against the religious all the time, but my question...

    Erathoniel is modified Sindarin Elvish (Tolkeinian), and it has no literal meaning. It is pronounced Era-thon-iel (like marathon, with an -iel). It is a pseudonym.     If you wish to shorten it, its familiar form is Era, not Erath. That makes me think you made a typo of "wrath". Erath seriously bugs me, because it breaks up the syllables. Yeah, that's all it takes. Era also saves you two letters of type.     Hey, you asked. Don't blame me. ...

You know who you are, who I address this to. You say "Libel!". I say fact. I make a statement, you threaten to sue. You just don't get it, do you? When I said you hated me, I may have been wrong, but you've done nothing to prove otherwise. You only know how to attack in my eyes. If someone spreads a lie about you, they may believe it true. But you insisted on making it fact, didn't you? You scrabble and scratch, light a match. You expect to win, but all you do is whine. You'd be a good politi...

Lost Planet is a game for PC, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3. It has beautiful graphics and satisfying gameplay. It combines mechs with traditional on-foot combat for an decayed-urban environment with plenty of wonderful sights to see. Lost Planet uses two forms of health and ammo. One is the conventional health or ammo display, which has an major effect on gameplay. The second is Thermal Energy. Thermal Energy heals the main character in single player, though it is needed for life in sing...

    I come here to make friends and share my opinions. Sure I may do it in a frowned upon manner, but by the time I really learn it's frowned upon, I'm already boycotted. Articles are written against me. People attack me behind my back. I've had it. People misuse my words. People accuse me. People take an article not written with an entirely serious view as being scripturally sound. I've been backstabbed. You are too weak to take me on if I know about you, so you insist on attacki...

    I live alone. Seriously. I am a loner. I don't talk well, I don't use body language (at least not expressively), I cannot physically communicate. When I came to JU, it was all due to Ryan Vincent (Anticheese). I thought here I could make new friends, like I did on the GH forum. But, I was wrong. For the most part, everyone on JU has been plain nasty. You can try to change my opinion here, but odds are you'll fail. Ock, Saxy, and others practically started a war against me. I h...

The War It I am for Freedom has a price and it's not rice. Life is not fair and we will not fare well if we allow attacks to our nation to be a declaration that we are weak will take a week to respond to anyone in the pond taking their aim and planning to maim innocents on our soil even if only with tin foil.
