Just curious as to what inspired this forum of sadness? Was it the death of Nelson Mandela? Also in response to your question, one of the saddest songs that I have ever heard would be 'the bed song' by Amanda Palmer and the source of my melancholy resides in this link below...

Aw, it's hard to chose for me. I guess my favorite eras are a toss-up between the Chinese revolution of 1911 and the Salem witch trials. Both are such interesting and vibrant pieces of history with so many complications because of the personal failings of the main players. The children lead the...

Her interpretation of it is that her boyfriend was swearing at her, instead of it being a term of familiarity, for example you wouldn't really swear when talking to your mother or your father. Same rules, just a different interpretation, as with what occurs between all cultures and countries.

Really? You had the option to drop maths entirely? At my school maths was compulsory but you could choose between super-hard-maths, not-as-super-hard-but-still-reasonably-difficult-maths or useful maths. We also had cooking but it didn't contribute to your overall OP.

Yeah Japanese people don't really mind nudity that much but they are very conscientious about the way something is spoken (P.S. They have 3 different verb forms all depending on the rank of the person you are talking to). A Japanese friend of mine couldn't understand why her boyfriend swore so...

What I mean to say is what would happen if there was no censorship of any medium at all. Television, movies, books, games, all have some form of censorship and some form of censorship has always existed throughout history but what if there was a world or a place without censorship? What would...

Ok Australia time, umm.... You may be backwards and lagging behind other countries in every respect, but you know what, cool places like Japan and Papua New Guinea are right on your doorstep. Also your bugs makes Americans cower in fear, you have awesome animals and weird landscapes. And you...

Most of the people at my school were mean and nasty so to cope I became mean and nasty too,I would apologise to this kid I whose feelings I hurt but I wouldn't accept any of my bullies apologies to me.

I agree with you I abhorred the first mass effect, no matter how much I tried to get into it, I just couldn't. Mass effect 2 though, it is definitely an improvement

I'm sorry if the title isn't explanatory what I mean is what are some of the times where you where in a very difficult fight, you keep fighting but you're not sure you are going to make it and somehow you miss the fatal blow and the fight concludes. An example of this for me was when I was...
