..::Kanadian Keith's take on things::..

Who the hell is "they?" Who is making you eat a certain way or dress a certain way? There is stigma attached to doing certain things in certain ways, but if I want to put on a dress and eat a cheeseburger there isn't anything anyone can rightly do to prevent it.

Smoking

Forgot to add - the reason why the governments around the world are hesitating to ban smoking is because of the amount of money they get from it. I dont know about in the US, but in the UK theres duty tax on cigs and booze, which is quite high, ontop of VAT. All this money from smokers gets the goverment millions and millions of pounds every year.

Looks great, but there seems to be a little more colour twoards the top and not near the bottom of the page.

I was talking about Evan's forums.

Looks good, but I'd like to see the site more then the forums! Is is going to be html or in Flash? Cuz I myself can't decide which is better...

What I don't get is, if smoking is popular and yet dangerous, why do they put poison in ciggarettes? Does rat poison actually taste good or something? Why aren't there healthy ciggarettes or at least ones without the cancer causing stuff. It doesn't make sense what they put in ciggarettes...

it isn't the nicotine thats bad for you, that's the addictive part. the smoke goes into your lungs and builds up tar.

I'm thinking about re-writing my site to html. It being in flash makes it really hard to update, and you cant put as much content on it easily.

Good idea. Many people start off with flash sites and end up converting to CSS/HTML sites because of the update and content management aspects. I used to have a flash site too :P

I think portfolio's are ok if made in flash, other than that I'd use code.

There are ways to make flash sites just as manageable. In fact, I'm considering making a flash site for myself...

the government or those health facts or commercial u read, saying what can harm u and stuff and well they cant tell u how to dress but i mean they (the health companies and government) do try to put pressure on u to do or eat certain things

Well, sure, there are agencies that encourage people to eat heathy but it really isn't any different than the companies that make the shitty food in the first place and advertise it everywhere. I mean we're constantly bombarded by ads on television, on the radio, in magazines and newspapers to live an unhealthy lifestyle and eat shit, the government is far from equalizing those ads out with their pro-health message. =]

Oh really, how can you make it just as manageable?

I have an html site now, and I'm finding updating to be just like I would with flash, accept I need to code things in now. With flash you just draw up stuff, then re-upload the new swf. I dunno, cuz with html its a little more user friendly, but if you make flash and the viewers are there because they've seen your flash then obviously they've got a flash player and can view your site.

Over thinking it...

RE: Flash Sites

Visitors not having flash isn't really a huge problems these days.. for me its just a pain to have to edit the .fla and have to re upload the .swf. I have a complete admin panel for my site.. i couldn't imagine having a flash site any more. However, a portfolio flash site would be fine because there's no need to update as often.

Abortion should be illegal as when the sperm hits the egg the baby begins to develop thus it creates life, very tiny life, but its there. It is murder, so is stem-cell research.

And Luis it looks like you brought up this topic... tanx!

Sarcasm

I was being sarcastic, we are not about to go into these topics.. its a no-win situation.. its obvious opinions are different and we could debate them for ages and ages. It just brings down the morale of the thread in my opinion. Makes us all look like these whiny old men or some shit.. lets keep conversation topics in here fairly low stress and free flowing. And to Kanadian Kieth.. quit posting consecutively so many damn times its annoying.. consider what you want to say and shoot your wad in one shot.

Well, you could just write a code in AS telling the flash to get info from an HTML/txt/XML/etc. file. Then, when you update the file, the content in the flash will also update.

COMIC CON

Hopefully, I'll be going with buzz. I'm planning to wear a t-shirt and get it signed by the NG ppl i meet.

Rip Off

37 bucks sounds good to me for doing nothing, but then again I don't know how much Google Ad sense pays. I was thinking of putting Ad sense on my site, but since it's basically a portfolio, I don't think I'm gonna.

COMIC CON

Always wanted to go, never have. Do you and Buzz know each other in person or your just gonna meet up and go?

Comic Con??
Where is it any way. And like Evan i 've always wanted to go to one but i never know where they are. I just hear about them when there over. :(

Well Toronto has a comic con (maybe not comic con, but close to it, last year had elijah wood and stan lee, it is a big convention, its canada's biggest comic convention) every year, I think at the end of August, we should have an NG meetup there so us Canadians aren't left out : (

FAIR? That's like 0.001857$ per click? How is that fair? I know VCM works with CPM but still.
If I was on google, I'd have made like 400$ bucks, easily.

Like I said I've never used ads and I have no idea how much your supposed to get, but for doing nothing, 37 bucks isn't bad. But for doing nothing, 400 bucks is fucking amazing.
