I really appreciate when they tailgate you when you're going 5-10 mph over the speed limit.

Yeah, it's just a very stupid driving habit all the way around.

Driving would be perfect if it were not for other drivers.

Speaking of drivers......the parking lots at my school absolutely suck.  I don't know how many times I've almost gotten into an accident, from either me not being able to see out of the aisles, or people not paying attention because they want to leave the lot.  (yesterday, as I was entering the lot, guy looked to the right, but failed to look to the left.  Almost hit me)

Yep. People are stupid. ;)

It surprises you, how their capacity for stupidity continues to expand ; )

Thing is, most people seem to think they are good a driver. And even good drivers make mistakes. The biggest problem (my opinion of course) is when people make quick and sudden changes.
Be kind to your fellow posters!!

People who think themselves smart and capable (most people) are more likely to be complacent, and therefore act stupid and incapable. But the fool who knows he is a fool is truly wise! This is the wisdom of Socrates.

In my Java class, while we were working on group projects, one of the guys in my group had DreamViews open.  :o
I guess 50,000 members is quite large for a forum, but still, quite improbable to know someone in real life who is also a member of the site. We laughed about how the site got hacked by a Russian ("it's always the Russians...")

Not many people even know about lucid dreaming- talking to people about it, they might get a vague notion of it at the most... heck, this is a forum of 1000 members and no one seems to even have a clue what I'm talking about in the Dreams thread. That's why seeing that was such a surprise.

Also: it's kind of funny to think that both Puerto Rico and the Hawaiian Islands became US territory as a result of the Spanish-American War.
