I use both soda and coke. It just depends on whatever comes out of my mouth first.

I'm just going to say this once. Saying "pop" makes you sound like a flaming homosexual fairy that needs to be shot. I have declared this so, and no one can change, twist, or deny my words of truth. All you pop-saying poofs will just have to accept your horrible fates.

Editing my post, or quoting me and changing my words is considered treason, and you will be put to death by being beaten by 100 fat angry germans (and I would still be right).

Its called soda, no matter what YOU call it, it says soda on the can. I have yet to see a can of soda with the word pop on it. Besides saying pop just makes you sound queer!

I'm solidly amused by people's lack of talent to make a joke that don't contain the words "faggot" or something similar. Why is it that gay people should be killed for being gay? I know it was a joke, but it's pretty pitiful.

I say pop despite my heterosexuality, the term soda sounds too much like "sofa" - which is a shamefully weird sounding word to say.

I usually say pop but I try and say soft drink whenever I can, it just sounds more correct than anything.

Oh, trust me, I make plenty of jokes all the time that don't involve homosexuality (btw, I didn't include "faggot" in my post ). I also didn't say that because they were gay they need to be shot, I said that they need to be shot because they say pop. Their homosexuality is just something that is included in the package.

My "lack of talent" to make a proper joke that doesn't involve the mentioning of any form of sexual preference is also irrelevant. I simply stated what I think saying pop makes you sound like, and yes, I do actually believe that it sounds quite "inverted" (happy?)

The only time I've found gay humor to be annoying and idiotic is when used in the small sentences like "Dude, you're a fag" or "Are you gay?". Really, it can't even be considered humor at that point. However, because yourself and some others may be offended by my lack of proper joke-making, or the fact that I bashed any homosexual people reading this forum, I will revise my post to exclude any and all homosexual references.
_______________________________________

Let me tell you a little story before I retire to my chambers...now everyone here has heard of Jesus Christ, right? And I'm assuming you all know about how he was crucified? Good. Now, this story has a good moral, so I want you to listen close...

You know that great tasting liquid that people used to drink back in Jesus' time? We still drink it today even. It's called wine. Now, the drinking age in the United States today is 21, and anyone who thinks it should be different can burn in hell for all I care! But in Jesus' time, the drinking age was 45...quite different from now, eh? This normally wouldn't have posed a problem, but you see, Jesus and his disciples needed wine for their religious rituals. Because of poor security reasons, they could obtain it easily enough, but they were always worried about someone overhearing them talking about wine. So, they devised a clever little plan. Whenever they would talk about wine, they would instead use the word "coke". And so they went about their lives, and no trouble was ever to be had about them drinking their wine. That is, until people discovered, unknown to Jesus and his disciples, a nasty little drug that was dubbed "coke". It was soon made illegal...punishable by death even. And then, one day, an old woman overheard Jesus and his disciples talking about coke! She immediatly turned them in, of course, and soon thereafter, Jesus was scheduled to take the fall for everyone by being crucified. After his death, all the evil little heathens that are now burning in hell decided to celebrate with a new drink called "pop". Everbody loved it of course, even Jesus himself did, before his death...

But the story doesn't end here. Some years later, a very smart man -- whose name has horribly been lost in the pages of history -- decided that "pop" was an extremely sinful word. And he was right! As any clear thinking individual would understand, every time someone said pop, they were also condemning the good lord himself! So he decided that pop should no longer be used to describe this fantastic drink. He declared that from then on, every person on the face of this great planet should instead use the word "soda". Everyone agreed that this new word sounded much better than the gross word of "pop", and also deeply pleased God. And so today, we still use the righteous word of "soda", and everyone who doesn't is not only hated by God, but is also to be forever burned in the fires of hell! However, the word "coke" is also widely accepted because of its religious signifigance in the holy bible.

You really need to get off the internet and get out a little VP

Funneh stuff though.

Just a tip to those that may still be a little new to the Ville. Arguing with VP is pretty much asking to be owned. I'm glad he is on my side

You just have to bend and twist the other person's words (or words of your own) until the knowledgable person can't prove you wrong, and the ignorant person thinks you might be right If they try and disprove whatever you say, you keep going -- even if it involves the most ridiculous or radical of ideas -- until their brain explodes from trying to comprehend it, or they simply can't say anything back.

Actually knowing what you're talking about also works....sometimes..

Have you ever tried it? Or are you just assuming it would work sometimes?

Whenever I'm involved in a non-serious arguement between friends or something, I always use this method (always works too). They're not necessarily stupid, but I don't think they have a quick enough wit to sometimes keep pace with my outrageous yet always logical enough ideas.

As an example
----------------------------------

Arguement: My friend's ascension to world leader before me. The arguement already features us using extremely exagerrated positions of power.

I tell him that I'm going to kill him using a powerful satelite beam in 5 days time. After I kill him, I'm going to use my cloning facilities to create an exact replica of him, except that he won't be able to conquer the world, or overthrow me. I'm going to do this so that no one gets suspicious of me or my power. However, the clone of him will know everything that he does, even the fact that I told him I would kill him in 5 days time, so it will seem to him as if it never even happened.

Conclusion: With that simple idea, I was able to keep him from becoming world leader before me, or overthrowing me in his lifetime. I was also able to explain why it would never seem to him that I had actually killed him, replaced him with a clone, and why he was still alive after 5 days. Everything would seem perfectly normal to him.

Several of my friends actually agree with the "arguing with me is just asking to be owned" statement BRN made....in a less..computer...geeky...kind of way.....

[edit] Just as a side note, all my arguements like this consist of pretty much constant improv. Techinques and thinking styles differ of course from what improv normally is, but you have to constantly play off of whatever your opponent says and use it against him

Okay so everything VP says should be considered BS for now on.
