Just to blow off some steam I was going around blowing up cars and throwing Molotovs at passersby, and I noticed something. Every once in a while one of the pedestrians would have money (like, around 1.500). I'm not talking about the pedestrians that attack random ladies. These guys were just walking around. I decided to make a bit of sport of it, and see how much money I could collect from my Molotov victims.

After doing this in Little Italy for a while, I noticed all of the ones with money were dressed the same. I moved on to Midtown, and the people dressed that way didn't have money. I've only just discovered this, but has everyone noticed that each area has a different type of person that randomly carries money? If so, what do they look like in each area?

Wow, all the misinformation in this thread could fill volumes.

I have schizophrenia, and, as a Criminology and Psychology major at university, I have also studied it extensively.

Schizophrenia does not make people more violent; there are violent schizophrenic people, just like there are violent people without a mental illness, violent white people, violent black people, violent Christians, Violent Muslims...Need I go on? Listening to the hearsay stories and anecdotes from a thread on a gamer's forum and taking it as an indication of what schizophrenia is a mistake.

I am a straight A student, I am in a loving, committed, long term relationship. In addition to attending school full time, I also work part time as a tutor through the college, as well as volunteer my tutoring services to those who can't pay. I have never hurt anyone else, never even got into any fights as a kid.

I used to take zyprexa, then geodon, then seroquel, then risperdal, now they have me on abilify. I've had problems with side effects. Plus, those meds are all so sedating; I have trouble attending school while on them, so since I'm pretty high functioning, my psychiatrist said that I should have the pills on hand if I need them for an acute attack, but otherwise the only pill I take daily is a Flintstones multivitamin :)

I mean people are saying if you went to Russia (say it got put in place) and you looked emo. How can you look emo? I have had idea to be honest until all you hear recently is kids killing themselves and blaming My Chemical Romance I thought the whole emo trend had gone away. Its just a fad that will die off along with everything else, just this one seems to be kicking about a lot longer than anything else.InsultToInjury_

Well, by even talking about a ban, these people have inadvertantly given emo just a tad more credibility. If they wanted it to go away, their best bet would have been to ignore it. Now tons of little russian kids are going to flock to emo as a way of "sticking it to the man."

Schizophrenic do not have multiple personalities. Those are two entirely different mental illnesses.

Also, schizophrenia is not funny. If a schizophrenic is acting violent in any way, it is proabably because of paranoia, which means they feel threatened or scared, and they are just trying to protect themselves. And actually, statistically, one in a hundred people are diagnosed as schizophrenic. It's more common than you think, and most schizophrenics keep it quite because of mocking similar to that on this board.

Yeah, I know what that's like. What meds you on?

Hmmm, do they think oppressing any person's chosen identity will make them LESS likely to off themselves?

I mean, if it were me, and my country was making legislative efforts to wipe out a style I felt an affinity for, that might just make me a little more likely to end it all. I don't think persecuting someone is the antidote to his or her suicide.

Or perhaps are they trying to inspire righteous indignation? Give 'em something to live/fight for? Defending the emo way, as it were? Depression IS just anger without enthusiasm.

Two good ones:

Clear jello in the toilet. As long as you have enough time for it to set before someone will use it. They take a #2, and it just "floats" on the water, they try to flush, and it doesn't even spin, much less go down. You have to break it up to get it down.

Another: Certain cans of shaving cream can be frozen. When it's frozen, cut the can away, and you have a block of frozen cream. Put it in someone's desk drawer, as it thaws it'll expand. Also, you can put a bunch (seriously a bunch, like more than 10) into someone's car. One can gives off about 600% of it's volume in foam, so you'd need a lot to fill the car, but it's classic.

Well, she has no face, and she's sent you a picture of her in her underwear and a t-shirt and allowed you to post it on a forum...so 0.zoe256

Actually, I doubt she gave her permission to have the pic posted on here. Just a guess.
