Well, that's even less unhelpful.

It's a reference to Don Quixote, one of the most influential books in modern liteature. To "tilt at windmills" has become a reference to noble but absurd behavior, or a hopeless cause persued in a ridiculous manner.

Good. Since "less unhelpful" means "more helpful," I'm glad I could help. :D

I'm not surprised, you went to school in America. It's an option to read in Grade 12 English here.

Well, to be honest that would be one of the few things I might admit Canadians are better on...the US education system blows...

Wait till your around longer, you'll find that America is behind on a great many things. At any rate, good luck getting that apology.

I'm sure. But hey, being able to blow up the world more times then anyone else has to count for something, right?

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, but I think I'll need all the luck I can get with that so thanks. I'm probably going to need it.

i'm really trying to help, here, Blackstar: IGNORE IT. I've lost my temper a few times here myself, mostly due to smarmy insults that I'd wager a lot of money wouldn't be said in person. Just skip the drama, and try to have a good time here, while always remembering my thought on the subject: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, just like I'd break theirs if they talked to me like that in person." It's easy for me, anyways.

So, blow it off, and ignore the bullsh*t. They aren't in your face saying it in RL.

Nope everythings over and done with. Move on people.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

It's probably best if you don't mention that. We tend to be sensitve about stuff like that, it gave us bad publicity.
Aye, I can see that. They did a similiar episode on polygamous relationships which I thought was unfair towards those people as well.

None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

I saw blackstar's return posts.

Right. I respect your wishes to be termed in your character, and I consider you a friend. I'll quite happily have an MSN conversation with you. Now. On to the bad bit.

You've just been banned for getting a huge load of shit and your still moaning. The bit talking to Mikey bout being Banned. You were banned. live with it and stop moaning.

If anything, you sound like a stereotype-monger emo.

Oh, and I read Don Quixote in my Spanish class in school. Great book. :)
